Re: Pro Tools 2023.3 is out

Once Rosetta goes away, I suspect so will the ability to use the older controllers. At that point, V-Control, or something like it from a third-party vendor, may be our only option, assuming it works...

Re: Switching between PT rosetta and native

Have you personally tried V-Control Pro with the latest version of Pro Tools to confirm that?

I’d like to switch to the latest version, but I don’t want to lose the ability to use my Command 8. If...

Re: M2 Pro Mini vs M1 Studio Max

A couple of things to think about…

I don’t think Pro Tools really utilizes the efficiency cores, so four of the mini’s cores aren’t going to do much for you, while that’s true of only two of the...

Has anyone tried using V-Control from Neyrinck with the public beta?

I have an old Command 8, and since Avid said that won’t work under the Apple Silicon native version of Pro Tools that is now in public beta, I’m looking for alternatives. V-Control from Neyrinck...

Re: What Mac desktop for Pro Tools Studio

I am running a Mac Studio with an M1 Max processor and 32GB of RAM. I have a 1TB SSD in it, and about 15TB of fast external storage. It's an awesome machine. I'm running the latest (non-beta) version...

Re: Control surface options with the upcoming Apple Silicon version?

Thanks, guys. I think I’ll reach out to Neyrinck and see what they have to say, and then go from there.

Control surface options with the upcoming Apple Silicon version?

Does anyone know what relatively affordable control surfaces will be compatible with the next version of Pro Tools running on Apple Silicon? It looks like things like my old Command 8 will no longer...

I have a Carbon, and it's time to renew my perpetual license support plan, which I did online, paying the $399 directly to Avid. I received a confirmation email, but my account online still says I...

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple

I had a 16GB M1 Mac mini before I got my Mac Studio, so I'm pretty familiar with both. You can expect roughly twice the performance from the Mac Studio. It's not exactly twice as fast (single core...

Re: Mac Studio(M1 Max)

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple

So apparently it is a bug and Avid knows about it, and I’m not crazy after all. :D

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple

I was mistaken - the buffer was set at 128. I tried it again last night at 32, and I got errors, but what is strange is that it is even worse at 512 and 1024. For some reason, my Mac Studio seems to...

Re: M2 Thoughts?

For my needs, the M1 Air has been working out just fine, but it’s not my main audio computer - I just wanted something that would let me do occasional basic editing on the go, and that I could use to...

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple

Thanks. That's the same one I tried previously that wouldn't play back at all for me.

I tried it again, and this time I was able to play through the entire session. My Total CPU meter in Pro Tools...

Which specific session is everyone using? I see two in the directory:

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple

2022.5 fixes the “aux sends use way too much cpu” issue, and that is a big improvement - especially for larger, more complex sessions. So far, it is running well for me.

As far as sleep, I...

Possibly, but I don’t know for sure how long that bug has been an issue. Sorry.

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple

Maybe it was due to the (now fixed) aux bus CPU issue? :confused:

I don’t know what was responsible, but that aux send bug fix has allowed me to run other test session that maxed out the system...

Re: Aux Sends causing high CPU usage PT 2021.6/higher with Apple Silicon [PT-286348]

I just tried audiogamble's test session again using 2022.5.

I still have my notes from when I tried it with the previous version of Pro Tools. It topped out at 9 aux sends and 87-96% CPU use. I...

Re: Making the leap to new MBP- Pro or Max??

The M1 Max is awesome, but for Pro Tools use, all else being equal, I think the M1 Pro with the same number of performance cores should perform about as well as the Max does. The Max’s extra GPU...
