Re: Advice for P Tools HDX & Apple Silicon
Quote:
Installing the HD Driver was quite a little nightmare but I got it sorted out. The Avid system activity monitor yellow bars were barely visible. 36 tracks first - 32 latency - with no plugins then with some. Even tried Gullfoss - which is a CPU hog - and no noticible change in usage. This is a track prepped for Brauer to mix so there were no edits on the tracks etc - so that's kind of cheating. But I'm really happy so far. Not one 9171 in sight! Spent most of yesterday downloading VI"s and installing them into P Tools. No testing yet. Have a few more download/installs yet to go but will report back when I know more. MY main VI's are Ivory, Trillian and various Spitfire Audio plugins. With Spitfire, I go for the ones that have AAX plugins - no Kontakt. I'll try your testing idea, Darryl. I am trying to use as few plugins (other than VI's) as I can these days. Seems to sound better! Will report back when I know more. Fingers crossed

Re: Advice for P Tools HDX & Apple Silicon
-9171 error are my only real issue with my M1PRO MBP w/ HDX in Avid TB chassis.
I get them intermittently when instantiating McDSP or Metric Halo plugins. Kinda driving me crazy at the moment. Sometimes the system "calls out" either Gullfoss or Seventh Heaven in the error dialog even though I was opening McDSP or MH. Not sure what's up but I'm gonna figure it out…

Re: Advice for P Tools HDX & Apple Silicon
7APR22 - I've only been testing so far. No full tilt session etc as the studio's a total wreck due to install mania - but everything seems to be running quite well. The VI's are working fine and fast. Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 is working like a champ. I opened an old session with a big VEP7 setup on it and it recalled and works great.
There was a lot of little stuff that was screwing things up like my keyboard - a Doepfer Mk4II - seems to send out program change when I switch presets within the keyboard so I used the Midi Input Filter and that made all the difference in the world. I can't say yet whether Gullfoss or Vienna Ensemble Pro will spit out 9171s yet. I never had a problem with Gullfoss on the 5.1 Mac Pro but VEP drove it totally crazy. But, again, I haven't really put it through its hard paces. Omnisphere, Trillian, Ivory, Spitfire plugins (BBCSO etc) - everything loads up works great in my simple tests. Next up is Kontakt. I've been loathing it because I loathe it in general. But I'm wanting to get a Japanese instrument library that only runs on Kontakt so I'm going to bite that bullet now and see how it works. The NVMe's seem to be working fine too. I have to tweak some settings to really put them through their paces and try to stream more from disk. Have to figure out how to do that. Thanks for allt the great advice.

Re: Advice for P Tools HDX & Apple Silicon
A fun thing happened yesterday. There's a record company in the UK who wants to re release an old LP of mine (Circus Underwater - now a collectible vinyl) and they asked about out takes or unreleased tracks so (yesterday) I went back to where I'd digitized three of the 6 tapes (from the original 8 Track Otari Machine) and the system usage meter wasn't even moving. Disk Cache was active but no signs of life on the meters! Just a few AVID AAX plugins running. I know this is near zero as far as a test - but I thought it was fun.
