Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple

If it so easy to troubleshoot, surely Avid support should be able to populate the playback engine with more than just Aggregate I/O? Quote:
Thank you for your suggestions, but let's remove any possible driver incompatibility by just using the Apple System audio. With no external interfaces connected I expect to see Mac built-in Digital Output, or Line Output in the Playback Engine dropdown menu, not just aggregate. Or am I wrong? Digital Performer, DaVinci and RX9 apps are all working without issue with the same devices and drivers. I really don't want to sacrifice a goat by re-installing Mac OS Last edited by operator; 06-16-2022 at 08:26 AM. |

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple
You don’t say what Avid support did so how can anybody here who might have a clue know if they did anything useful or were a complete waste of time?

And yes you have spent more time on this already and well past the point that (if I knew basic stuff was tested) that I would do a clean reinstall of macOS and Pro Tools on a test volume and just see if that worked and keep reinstalling stuff. And I might be done in less time than has been spent on this already… or I would find what causes this problem by testing as I reinstalled stuff. And if the test goes OK I switch over to running off the new working install. I really hope you did not use the system migration utility to move apps or drivers to this Mac.

I know from experience that using the Migration Assistant have been known to case problems before. Like ten years ago. After some years I discovered that the main problem was with pro tools, and if you deselected the transfer of 'Applications' which left transfer of settings, preferences, bookmarks, passwords etc, saved you alot of time, and I would install PT fresh. Worked thru many OSX transitions. And the last year I've been moving a lot between macs, and it's still problem free. I still haven't tried to transfer PT w/MA, but I will at the next junction. The new boot-volumes regime, I forget the exact name, with the read-only system volume, that we have from Catalina and up, relies heavily on Migration Assistant, and most mac users can't be bothered to do 'clean installs' and such. It works, and it is an essential tool on mac, more than ever. I don't mean to derail the thread, but I do think it's relevant.

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple
Look carefully at what I said. ** to move apps or drivers to this Mac.** I was not talking about moving users. If you are using migration assistant to move apps and drivers over to a Mac, especially a new Apple Silicon mac, vs doing clean app and driver installs you *are* talking a large risk. And if it happens that it was done in this case (I have no idea if it was), then that's more impetus to try a clean reinstall.

For the record; The last few years, my way of doing a transfer of user data from one mac to another, or one macOS version to another, on PT systems, has been, on a fresh os install, I install ilok and PT stuff, check that things work, then use MA with 'Applications' deselected, then simply copy the apps I want, from the backup to the applications folder manually. The application's library files is already copied by MA. Works, and saves hours.

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple
Migration assistant works fine. Stop wasting hours reinstalling everything like I did. It made ZERO difference. It really isn't that big of a deal.

I like to do a clean install every other OS upgrade or every other year, even if I don't have problems, helps to have a sleak and optimized computer.

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple
Oh here we go again. "Works fine" until it does not. And then you need to troubleshoot it. And here is why I'm asking what was done. Stop implying it can cause no problems and is totally safe. It bloody well can cause problems, as should be obvious to anybody technical who thinks though all the potential problems, especially in the middle of an architecture migration. And when somebody has a problem, like the person posting here, it's a sensible thing to ask if it was used. But you guys keep at it. I'll leave you experts to help folks foolishly posting problems to this thread.
