I upgraded out of Catalina to Big Sur 11.4 yesterday. Technically, Avid is saying it supports 11.3.1 Big Sur via the compatibility page. So I'm curious if I'm in a lame duck situation until Avid patches 11.4.

Does anyone know how long it takes for them to patch these OS updates?

I am getting constant -9173 AAE errors with Pro Tools struggling to run smoothly. CPU is off the chart and hitting 100% when it was typically in the 45% range in Catalina. All of my session ran very smooth before the upgrade, and now PT doesn't seem to know how to handle things.

AVID support did lots of remote diagnostics, and pretty much told me it's my plugins. Trashing prefs, Hyperthreading off didn't fix, and plugin updating did not help either. But after I updated all of my plugins, I can't get the problem to go away. It's just running like PT has a hangover.

Anyone have any suggestions for me?
