Re: Apple MacBook Pro M1 Pro & M1 Max!
I am pretty sure that enabling video engine is their first priority. It may however take native Apple Silicon build to happen, but it is Avid, PT without video engine is crippled.

Re: Apple MacBook Pro M1 Pro & M1 Max!
Yesterday when Apple did their announcement, they mentioned that they were working with thousands of companies to provide compatibility for the MacOS and Apple Silicon (or something like that). These companies were given early access to develop and test their applications for compatibility. At that time, they showed an exploding graphic of company logos. I tried to see if I can see the Avid logo, but did not notice it. Did anyone else see one?
I am hopeful that Avid will release a native version for Apple Silicon and eventually Monterey, but I also know this takes time. Besides, I have time since I need to save up for one of these powerful machines. I realize that we all prefer the M1 Max since we know Protools is a power hungry program, but I'm wondering if we are overlooking the benefits of the the M1 Pro as a viable platform as it is still a big step up from M1 and supports up to 32 GB of Unity RAM, albeit with letters GPU cores. One thing that I liked about the announcement is that the 14" model is available to be equal in performance to the 16" models. The only differences are number of pixel on the smaller screen and battery life. Therefore making a smaller form factor (also thinner and lighter) possible for those that want it.

Re: Apple MacBook Pro M1 Pro & M1 Max!
I have no doubt that the M1Pro will be a viable workhorse for most Pro Tools users. I base this off of my experience with the M1 Mac Mini.
My daily sessions are utilizing about 20-50% of the 16GB of Ram available. The CPU usage is in the 10-20% range. I’m only mixing for post so I cannot comment on music composition. And this is all under Rosetta 2. |

This would be great, do you have any insight into this? Any timeline? Been using M1 16Gb MacBook for 6 months with Logic for writing and PT for Stem recording. All seems great apart from the lack of video in PT. Been running Video Slave when in PT but its not ideal in terms of the slight lock up latency. Apart from that I'm loving the M1, I'll probably upgrade to the Max for the power headroom, but so far the M1 even with 16Gb has seem me through 2 big scoring projects using VI's for writing and running PT along side Logic on the same machine as a Stem overview. Pretty amazing. Its my main studio machine now, I retired my dustbin Mac Pro. |

I am not in the beta team any longer... and if I was, I would present even less so called educated guesses.

Re: Apple MacBook Pro M1 Pro & M1 Max!
Here is an interesting video on the performance of theses new M Pro and M max chips and some comparisons with M1 and Intel
One thing that struck me was the explanation on how much more efficient the unified memory (about 3:40 in the vid). and that perhaps we can rethink the amount of RAM necessary to what our specific work flows are https://youtu.be/STzgIWf4BY0
