This discussion seems to have gone dead. Are the plugins working now? I jsut bought a Mac Studio Ultra and am, of course, VERY interested in the current status of the plugins. Especially Spitfire Audio. Currently in High Sierra, two 5.1s - one running Vienna Ensemble Pro / the other P tools
Thanks

This is an M1 Max thread. No change to most of these items with 2021.10 or 2021.12.
The real problem is Monterey, rather than the M1 Pro&Max.

I’ve read that in a few different posts from a few different people. Can you elaborate on that, please? In what way is Monterey “the real problem?”

I don’t have an M1 Max yet (I just purchased a Mac Studio, but it won’t be here for a couple of weeks), but my experience on a 16GB M1 mini running Monterey has been mostly positive, with the exception of the various plugins that currently don’t work. But Pro Tools Ultimate 2021.12 itself seems to work very well, and has been very stable for me.

If it works for you, it works. Plug-ins were the main problem, along with some graphics glitches. Many plug-in vendors have caught up and Avid have hinted that they have some kind of change for the complete bundle coming soon (as well as MacUpdater spotting some beta versions in the wild).

Thank you. Do you know where Avid dropped that hint? Was it here in a thread on the DUC?
