Re: GUI freezes frequently with 2021.6 on M1 Mac
Also still having freezes. Better than .6 but still not as fast and stable as 2021.3.1.

Re: GUI freezes frequently with 2021.6 on M1 Mac
Mine is not freezing, which OS version and is it a factory install or clean one on empty storage?
Just for the sake of it just tested on a hacked 2010 (!) Mac Mini on Catalina and I cannot even get that to beachball even though it only has C2D processor and 8GB memory... I am pretty religious about clean installs, because I have noticed on my beta testing days that so many random errors go away just by clean installing everything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm pretty sure you have shared how do you clean install on Mac OS but it would be awesome if you are kind enough to share with us once again and more in detail what's your process. Thanks so much, Emi

Re: GUI freezes frequently with 2021.6 on M1 Mac
Sure.
First thing you need is a backup. Second thing you need is another backup. Third thing is five minutes and a coffee break to make sure you have done the first two. After that just boot to recovery, use disk utility to erase your system drive, install most current OS version, make a reboot, check for possible extra updates, then another reboot and possibly a Time Capsule backup of a clean OS-only system drive. Then install PT and plugins. Done. Whatever user data you may have can be copied back later from the backups you took before erasing the old system.

Re: GUI freezes frequently with 2021.6 on M1 Mac
Oh, forgot to say that Time Capsule backup of OS install is only meant for testing/cloning purposes. Never use any migration software (like the infamous Apple Migration Assassin) or automated backup/restore.
Always keep your sessions etc. organised on your backups and use from your work drives or copy back from there (nowadays it is a good idea to use system drive for a session as at least here it is the fastest one available). It is also a good idea to subscribe to Apple One or something like that, so you do not need to copy terabytes of music library etc. back and forth. If your personal stuff is in the cloud it makes clean install of OS painless.

No problem. This is the process I learnt when I was beta testing PT 7-10

Temporary beachball freezes still occur and graphic glitches like a black 'boxes' on the edit window still happen as well. The latter issue goes away when I zoom in and out. My machine is a 16GB 8 core M1, running Big Sur 11.4. |

My specs M1 Macbook Air. 16gb ram. 8 core GPU Big Sur 11.5.1 Pro Tools Ultimate 2021.7 Audio Interface - RME Madiface XT I've also loaded "beachbally" sessions onto a different computer and seen the same results. The 2nd computer was: 2019 Mac Mini - 32 gb RAM Catalina 10.15.7 Pro Tools 2021.7 Audio Interface - RME Madiface XT One this I'll say is that generally speaking, the UI of pro tools in 2021.7 is the slowest I've ever experienced as a pro tools user. It's not bad in a session with audio only. As soon as I add plugins to the session, or begin routing the audio to sends / internal busses, or doing anything remotely advanced, the beachball & ui responsiveness issues appear. I'm also getting little black boxes randomly on the screen. I think several other users have reported this too. Most plugin ui's look fine, but a few plugin alliance ones are really laggy when audio is playing back. Specifically, SPL Iron. Here's a general walkthrough of the plugins I use: Fabfilter Pro-Q3 Waves Universal Audio Soundtoys Plugin Alliance izotope Ozone 9 If you're trying to test & fix this issue, I'd be happy to provide you with a session that triggers the problem consistently. |
