Default Pro Tools 2019.12 Catalina Support

macOS Catalina

Pro Tools 2019.12 adds initial support for macOS Catalina. This means that while most Pro Tools functions are supported, compatibility with certain file types is not yet available and will come in a future release. For more information on these limitations, visit our Catalina support page. You can then decide whether your system and workflow are fully compatible before updating or purchasing a new Mac.

Doesn't work with onboard sound of the macbook here..

Same every time..

Works for around 2 minutes, and I am having the best performance at 32 buffer I have EVER had from PT, and then it says another program using the device changed the sample rate. Then I have to quit.

Have no idea what is going on.

Apollo not Catalina compatible yet neither is my Mbox 3, I have an ultra lite but no firewire thunderbolt adapter.. So I guess I am SOLA for now.. Initial excitement still there, but I guess they just didn't test it with on board audio at all. Seems like it will perform really well when I get it working in an update. Oh well.

Of course, being a brand new computer that came with Catalina, this is a virgin PT install on it.. No rubbish that could possible cause issues.

I'll try again with Safari closed this time although I have never ever had a problem with that in the past.. but be curious to see if that's it. Shouldn't PT be able to take command of the interface completely?

EDIT: wow this forum really squishes the quality of the pics down to the point they are unreadable.. they really need to fix that or it's pointless showing screenshot error messages. This was a hi res command/shift/3 screenshot.

Ok so I set the system to MacBook pro internal speakers, system sounds etc.

And I set pro tools to the external headphone socket (that's how it comes up).

Smooth sailing for a few minutes, then, "pro tools can not communicate with the external headphone socket".. had to save and quit.

Do these people actually TEST the app they release for more than a few seconds? I mean this is irritating now. This is the most basic fundamental stuff.

Obviously the socket is just fine as I have watched movies galore since I had the computer, plugged into the IK loud through the built in external output of the MacBook, and I have used logic A LOT with zero issue.

What uselessness and annoyance.

Ok I restarted, removed the external speaker from the headphone port incase there's a problem with the port physically, I changed the output device in Pro Tools to "MacBook pro internal speakers"..

Worked perfectly for around 50 seconds this time.. then

"pro tools can not communicate with MacBook pro internal speakers".

So it can't use those OR the headphone port?

Such a shame....

FWIW.. I was even able to play Jupiter 8 (arturia), all voices being used, I made sure of it with 8 note chords, and a fab filter reverb on the channel. The fab filter reverb made all the cores spike but using just a synth on it's own at 32 buffer is fixed. The thing is, I had turbo disabled on the MacBook, so it's only running at 2.4ghz!
I duplicated this track, WITH the reverb, 4 times, and the usage didn't change./ Pro tools is properly multithreading armed VI tracks at 32 buffer.. HUGE change.

The reverb causing all that spiking makes me wonder how it would do native monitoring with effects though, like, external channels I mean.. using PT as a native mixer instead of an outboard mixer. Still.. the best by far of any PT I have ever used. Except I can't use it! LOL!

Not impressed. They just got rid of the 32 bit stuff. Replacing them is still in the works. People working in post gotta wait or use workarounds. Is that a fair summary?
