Re: Only 4 cores system usage on M1 Macs
It may be or may not be. First realise is PT is not Apple Silicon native and neither is Waves. Any random things may happen.

Re: Only 4 cores system usage on M1 Macs
That being said... Not to be all you-tubey about it and give examples that aren't quite real-world, 200+ tracks playing back without a hitch is pretty impressive. Granted, just a few midi tracks and few plug-ins, but still. 40% memory pressure. And Chrome was open.

Only 4 cores in M1 Mac PT 2021.6
My M1 Mac Mini system usage meter shows only 4 cores being utilised by PT 2021.6. While Avid has already mentioned this on their website, can the the other 4 cores be at all utilised by Pro Tools in the future? The reason i ask this is because currently my CPU usage is almost 80% while running full mix sessions, and unless PT can use the 8 cores of M1, this CPU is underpowered for me.

The extra four cores are unpredictable. You cannot use them in a realtime software like Pro Tools

Damn! The M1 doesn't seem to be as powerful then with just 4 usable cores. I wish i had stuck to my i7 10700.

If nothing is screwed up and this is simply "safer", they should add an option to use all cores for those happy to take the "risk" (2021.3.1 on my M1 is the fastest PT system I've ever used.)

Re: Only 4 cores in M1 Mac PT 2021.6
Whats the real issue here? The other 4 cores are virtual as in NOT REAL CORES so who cares as long as the M1 macs are faster!?
