Pro Tools TDM 6.9.3cs1 for HD Systems on Mac OS 10.4
Updates Pro Tools TDM 6.9.2 or 6.9.3 software to Pro Tools TDM 6.9.3cs1 for Mac OS 10.4

What's Fixed in Pro Tools TDM 6.9.3.cs1 for Mac OS 10.4?

Fixed: The Key Command Sequence for Fine-Tuning Automation Breakpoints Had Changed (Item # 65387)
• The "fine-tune breakpoint" Command key functionality has now been restored to the pre-Pro Tools 6.9 behavior. The key command for "Write Level Constrained to Next Breakpoint" (new to 6.9) has been changed from "Command-click" to "Option-Shift-click." The key command for "Write Level Constrained to Previous Breakpoint" remains "Command-Option-click."

Fixed: When Using Serial Timecode, Pro Tools Would Sometimes Lock with an Offset When Using a Tascam DA-98 (Item # 64636)
• The Tascam DA-98's servo lock bit behavior would cause Pro Tools to think the DA-98 was servo locked before it actually was. This would cause inconsistency when Pro Tools locked to serial timecode generated from a DA-98 or other devices with this same servo lock bit behavior.

Fixed: When In Remote Mode, and Controlled By An SSL Axiom, Pro Tools Would Have Difficulty Receiving a Punch-Out Command (Item # 64195)
• This behavior is specific to the SSL Axiom, and would result in the record state of Pro Tools being toggled until a "stop" command was issued by the SSL Axiom.

Fixed: With An Edit Pack Declared, Clicking On a Send in The GUI Could Cause Pro Tools to Unexpectedly Quit (Item # 66821)
• This could happen more frequently after declaring an Edit Pack in the Peripherals dialog.

Fixed: CoreAudio Did Not Function Properly With Many Third-Party Applications (Item #63500)
• QuickTime, Jam, Safari, iMovie and other applications were affected.

Fixed: A ProControl Fader Could Sometimes Lose Communication with Pro Tools while Writing Automation (Item #61458)
• While writing automation, a ProControl fader could lose communication with Pro Tools, resulting in no automation written for the time the lapse occurred.

Fixed: Legacy Peripherals Attached to a 192 I/O or a 96 I/O (with Firmware Version 4.3) Would Exhibit Incorrect Gain at Their Inputs (Item # 59048)
• If you have a 192 I/O or 96 I/O, and the interface firmware version is 4.3, you need to run the DigiTest firmware updater. If your 192 I/O or 96 I/O has firmware version 3.0, incorrect input gain on legacy peripherals will not occur, and you will not be able to update the firmware. This does not apply to the 96i, which does not have a legacy port.

I keep getting "invalid check sum' errors when trying to open the image file for the OS X TDM version. I have tried several times on several web browsers. Is it just me, or anyone else having problems?

Snoopy - Are you making sure to trash the previously dowloaded file before downloading again?

Yes (if you don't the web browsers won't re-download) but luckily today it worked. Musta been a fluke.

Hello,

When checking the firmware version in Digitest, we get the option to upgrade
from what is in our 192 interfaces (4.3) to 4.4.
Should the 192 be upgraded to 4.4?
We are not using any legacy peripherals anymore..

Houser - in your case, you really wouldn't need to update the firmware if you don't have legacy peripherals attached and don't plan on having any attached in the future.

Allright, Thanx for heads-up! I won't touch it then...if it ain't broken....

Any news on the mount/unmount functionality under Tiger+
thanx

#66821 fixed thanks!
But following problem; focus a panner (doesn't matter left or right) on the output window focusses both panners; control-click works like simple click

What are the optimum setting for this system config?

G5 Dual 2.7, 2.5Gs RAM
HD2 Accel
Mac OSX 10.4.2
PTs 6.9.3cs1

I am a bit confused about the best settings for the the playback engine - I keep tweaking but am running into "low on CPU" messages etc.

Thanx

I strongly suggest you take this machine to 4.5gigs of ram. Here's why: look at activity monitor and put "ram meter" into the dock. With "only" 2.5gigs, your green "available" ram is virtually (no pun intended) nonexistent while running PT with a few virtual instruments. With 4.5 gigs, you will have about 1.5 gigs of available ram... so that means with only 2.5, your machine is wanting for more, and you risk pageouts. Tiger may be fast and reliable, but it's also a ram pig.

I took my box up to 6.5gigs and many, if not all of my problems have gone away.
