So I went with 4Evah29 and got hot Lisa for $1 (well, plus the monthly $29.99).
Next month I'll probably get the MC77 because I may not have enough 1176s on hand.
Still no joy on Mac. I even uninstalled and re-installed. Crashes on opening scan at NI's RC-48 plugin. Previous up to date ProTools Standard scanned that plugin (and all my plugins) just fine.
I did not find listening to Rikk's jokes, put downs followed by apologies very inviting. Gave up after 20 minutes. I'll figure out the software after it's installed.
Can't wait for Tuesday to post "installed".
Looks like Dual XENONs are not supported for ProTools Studio.
Or maybe not.
Westmere CPUs (Xenons?) are supported. So maybe it's just a case of no real testing on older (mid 2012) machines. The supported machine Mid 2012 with Catalina 10.15.7 which is what I have.
On my 2012 MacPro (Catalina)I'm having troubles with ProTools Studio. So far it crashed on scan of NI RC-48. I deleted that plugin in all locations and then PTS crashed with 'nothing'. After I either click Save The Log or click Send To AVID, PTS just closes.
In IT Crowd fashion I tried turning it off and on again. Now I got as far as Revalver IV and then PTS just closes with no error.
I'm going to try to find out if this a known issue on Catalina and if so can I revert to ProTools Standard on my Mac.
FWIW: On the PC no such problems.
I'm experiencing looooooonger session load times with ProTools Studio now ?
Before anyone asks, system specs are thus:
Windows 10 64-bit, Intel I9 10900K processor O.C. 5.0GHz, Asus Prime Z490-A mobo, 128Gb PC3300 Memory, 1TB - SSD Program Drive
Yeah, full resolution with 150% looks pretty much like 2560x1440 of course just a bit smoother.
This time at full resolution (3840x2160) at 100% ProTools text menu bar looks good. And 150% at full resolution looks good too.
