Re: Unstable iMac Pro

When I first started mixing, I was in-house at a broadcaster and we had 40 Series; when I started my own place, I got a 280-D, and in early 2011, swapped to the Dorrough plugin on a TDM machine. When...

Re: Unstable iMac Pro

Swapped the mouse; the old 16,000 dpi mouse feels like the PT8 HD system I've got, as in, one big move I can get right across a 27" screen; the 20,000 dpi mouse needed two

Re: Unstable iMac Pro

I'll check out the other 3; MasterMeter is included with the AVID bundle, but I find the MasterMeter to be just too ugly to have to keep looking at for levels!

Re: Unstable iMac Pro

In looking for a replacement VU meter, I tried the WAVES VU Meter (I know, I know, back to WAVES after their Dorrough Stereo caused so much grief, but VU Meter is U$24 and elegant) and the iMac on...

Re: Unstable iMac Pro

Thank you for posing the question, USB Overdrive was one item I didn't install when I ran the first check, USB overdrive seems benign as an extension and is compatible w Catalina, and maps shortcuts...

Re: Unstable iMac Pro

Problem seems to be solved - WAVES Dorrough Stereo Plug-In. It was jittery during renders which were slower than the iMac. Deactivated it, and presto - simple promo mixes render at 35x, dragging...

Re: Unstable iMac Pro

Re: Unstable iMac Pro

Thank you. Gonna carve out the time to get this done and report back if Catalina and PT 2020.5 give me the reliability that I need!

Re: Unstable iMac Pro

here's an update - I'm going through a list of suggested fixes from Avid.
