Pro Tools Freezes While Loading
Team,
Pro Tools won't load. Lemme explain. I have a MacBook pro M1 silicon running pro tools 2021.7 with 16mb ram. When I load pro tools it checks core plugins, runs through a few, then freezes. I read that I should move the plugin from the folder to the "unused" folder so I did. Then restart pro tools. It does it again but stops at another plugin. So I got frustrated and moved alllll of the plugins to another folder and pro tools loaded. But when I went to add efx it was bare bones lol. I don't want a bare pro tools session. I have Native Instruments Platinum. I have UAD plugins. I want to use them. I can open all other DAWs I have with no issue. FL Studio, Luna, Reason. Help me make it make sense. Lauderdale |

Also, I assume you meant 16GB of Ram - not 16MB, but even 16GB is is a little low for running Pro Tools.

Re: Pro Tools Freezes While Loading
The only plugins doing this for me at this point are the Crane Song / Dave Hill plugs. (Phoenix/Peacock/RA) If you're running these, take them out of your plugin folder and try again.
I have been in contact with him, he is aware of the issue and has informed AVID but my correspondence and attendance to troubleshooting the issue has fallen by the wayside over the last month, I hope to pick it up again asap but life is happening. Maybe drop him/AVID a line? Once these work I've got everything I use working on M1. :) If it's not these plugs, do you have the absolute latest versions of everything?

Re: Pro Tools Freezes While Loading
Hiu, welcome to the community.
I have a fully loaded M1 Mac Mini here and PT loads just fine, even with the NI instruments that I have. I obviously do not have everything, but if it works here your culprit must not be PT or NI but some other vendor. Just try moving plugs back one vendor at a time and you would notice when PT is not starting anymore.

Re: Pro Tools Freezes While Loading
I just noticed that you are running in a Mac with the M1 (Apple Silicon). This is another possible compatibility issue for plugins that have not been updated. Until these plugins are rewritten in native M1 code, they will still run through Rosetta 2, a type of code translator between Intel code and Apple Silicon processors.
