Re: wrong download

Perhaps you can use a different ilok dongle. You can also use a subscription license of Protools Studio for one month to try it out.

Re: Time for an Upgrade?

To be honest, your existing system is quite outdated. Your Mac Pro is 13-14 years old, which is 3-4 lifecycles for computers. Your Mbox Pro (3rd gen) "end of life" date is over 5 years ago. Your...

Re: Please help: Loud pops on Stop

Just to let you know, I don't experience this pop crackling sound you mention, so Protools does not work this way for everyone. Is it only on this session or does it do this for all sessions. If...

Re: ProTools & Performance vs Efficiency cores in M3 chips

It is not a M3 thing. It affects M1s, M2, (Pro, Max, and Ultra variations). I wouldn't worry too much about it as most people consider the Apple silicon machines to perform great compared to their...

Re: PT 2021.12 does not save every minute when asked to

I believe you are referring to this post earlier in this thread. I don't think it meant backups every minute is working like a dream. I think this post might be simply saying that PT 2023.6 is...

Re: ProTools v2023.9.0 Freezes on launch

The first thing to suspect are non Apple Silicon compatible plugins. Unfortunately there are still some that have not been updated to be compatible yet. You'll need to check each manufacturer to...

Re: Air Plugins missing with 2023.9
