The latest pro tools for mac high sierra drivers#
I managed to to disable SIP but it only caused the OS to hang and crash when loading the drivers for the UAD-Quad. There have been a few people that have managed to disable the System Integrity Protection (SIP) in order to enable the drivers for their UAD gear. So, if you don't have any UAD hardware, it looks pretty promising! I'm not saying you should upgrade as soon as it comes out but hopefully this will give you a small insight into how Sierra might affect your pro tools system.Īs always with these things make sure you create a backup if you decide to upgrade! List of Plugins that I have briefly tested and seem to be working OK (I haven't tested advanced items like automation)Įarly signs suggest that this might be the rock solid operating system that we have all been waiting for since OSX Mountain Lion was dropped from software developers supported operating systems. Obviously that could all change in the blink of an eye and it also depends on how long it will take Universal Audio to fix the issue with their UAD cards!

Mac OS Sierra isn't officially released for a few more weeks so hopefully that will give UAD enough time to fix the issue and everyone can enjoy Pro Tools without the laggy graphics! This seems to be the only issue that I have found with my specific system and unfortunately it's a big one! I use UAD powered plugins on all of my mixes because frankly they sound incredible. I know that UAD have been reporting this bug with Sierra since the beta was released but I was kinda hoping that the Final Release would magically fix the issue, because that always happens, right? As soon as I opened it up, UAD hardware not found! With my tracking session working fine it was time to take a look at one of my mixing sessions. I went through as many plugins as I could possibly bare testing and it seems that all the plugins that I own are working! All except ONE, please see below! Even the Slate Digital plugins appear not to have any new bugs! Offline bounce seems to work normally as does committing or freezing tracks. Admittedly the CPU was hitting around 70% and I'm sure if I used it long enough it would fall over but it seems very stable at my usual 64 samples. I managed to use buffer settings of 32 samples on a session with just under 100 audio tracks at 48kHz 24bit with no issues. I tried my hardest to force Pro Tools crash or fall over but it seems that its pretty stable. This must be down to something on Avid's end and not with Apples OS. When using beat detective you often create a lot on clips and fades and this used to make pro tools very laggy when scrolling. I can confirm that this is no longer the case but the zoom function, when there are a lot of clips in view, is still very laggy.

It's so refreshing to actually watch the meters moving in realtime to the track, simple things eh? Beat detective seems to be working as it once did previously the progress meter wouldn't update or it would hang. I previously mentioned the GUI bug had been fixed in the beta version of the OS and it remains fixed in the final release. This also loaded without any problems and I was able to play and edit the track as I would do normally. Feeling great about pro tools actually booting up I decided to load one of my tracking sessions.

So to my surprise Pro Tools booted without any hiccups, if anything it seemed to boot quicker? That's my general thought about Sierra on the whole, it feels so much more responsive than Yosemite or El Capitan.
