No problems here.

I'm having the known issues- mainly with Import Audio. Running pretty good other than that.

No issue with import audio. I do get the occasional instrument track losing it's vi assignment but that's been a part of PT for too long (happens a bit more in 2021.6 on an unsupported OSX 10.13.6).

I finally went back to .6… I just don’t know how far back I want to go because which features were good which features cause problems is all a blur, I just like to work without thinking changing buffer up and down like a yo-yo… Which may never happen,
I was impressed a little bit when the carbon thing was released that version Seem to solve something like low buffer settings better
But everything gets so hazy from the graphics Lag to the black boxes on the screen to the VI Reassigned randomly and forever it seems…
The CPU meter where all the CPU is bunched up in the center flashing red even with 30%cpu… Bouncing to disk from the session even with nothing on that track I’m bouncing out from ,I got a spinning Beachball at the end and have to restart
I think I run a fairly clean system I’ve been at this so long if there’s something buried deep in the system that’s causing me problems The thought of figuring it out always reminds me of how much.,, literally weeks of my time over the last 20 years I’ve spent doing that

I get the beachball all the time on M1, but never on my cMP or 2018 Mini.

2021.6 currently. 2021.3 was running great, too (even on M1).

The issue I have is when importing many files it takes forever to import and I get the spinning beach ball. Been broke since 2021.3.

Not seeing that and I'm on an unsupported OSX - 10.13.6

Maybe it's an issue on Catalina. I'll have to see if I have the same problem on my MBP with Sierra - 2021.6 works on it, but I haven't tested Import Audio on it as I just use it to record.
