System Usage showing <10%, Activity Monitor showing >110%. What is going on??
I'm getting constant -6101 errors every 10-20 seconds playing back a single VI (Kontakt or Superior Drummer, doesn't change result) and two audio tracks. CPU usage in Pro Tools is hovering around 6% while playing back, but viewing this in Activity Monitor, it says Pro Tools is using 120% cpu!! What the heck is going on here??
With just having Pro Tools running, without a session even open, Activity Monitor reports Pro Tools using 27% of CPU. Is this normal behaviour? Could someone else running PT on Mac OS tell me what their Activity Monitor is reporting with Pro Tools open but no session open?

Using VI's and ProTools options are to use another daw or host in VEP. Sad. Broken midi. Years of this now.....

Each of these will have huge impact on performance with VIs. That CPU you are using in the old Mac Mini is not going to be great at low latency. ejinbc |

Apple will start to switch to ARM cpu architecture soon. Makes you wonder how long will it take Avid to recode PT this time. Huge chance to get it right this time....

Not so long I guess. This drill has already been done earlier when Apple swithced from PPC to Intel. Even then from 68k to PPC but that was painful. Now that Apple systems are already Universal Binary aware, getting the software complied to new architecture should be trivial. Obviously some optimization needed after that but as far as I can guess, this will be easier transition than 64-bit only.
