Does PRO TOOLS 2021.12 Work on an Apple M1 Mac Mini ??? [Sunday Funday

The two-hundred and twenty-fortieth episode of Sunday Funday, hoisted by Benjamin.
.
.
Episode #240 finds us continuing the journey to keep our hardware and software up to date, following the studio upgrade with a brand new Apple M1 Mac Mini. Today, we are seeing if the new machine is up to the task for handling the latest version of PRO TOOLS 2021.12, which is not yet natively supported on Apple’s M1 processors as of recording in late December 2021. It is qualified to work on Big Sur on M1 via Rosetta 2, and has for me shown vast improvements over the old machine on a majority of tasks. In today’s short video, I show you how I use Pro Tools for recording and mixing functions using the latest version. This show aims to uncover the magic and demystify music production, Native Instruments REAKTOR, GUITAR RIG, KONTAKT, MASCHINE, PRO TOOLS, SOUNDTOYS, WAVES, and music production in general.

Thanks for the video, I'm not sure if you address this in a different video, but do you use external drives for any plugins, samples, or your session files?

[@Kanthony135]

I see the comment below now with the same question, thanks disregard!

[@SundayFunday]

I absolutely do, thanks for watching!

[@ChrisCoynetalent]

Dude! Thank you. Are you still making videos??

[@SundayFunday]

lol, thank you for the kind words, I’m taking a little break while I finish the Pro Tools 101 and 110 courses, as well as finish mixing my album. All good news and all in due time, I’ll be back to making videos again!

[@masterastakhovsound]

Help !protools studio M1 Monterey doesn't see any plugins waves v12.v13.v14 reaper doesn't see it either

[@SundayFunday]

Hey hey mate, thanks for watching! Not sure on that one mate, Waves Central always installs into the correct location, my Pro Tools always see them. I would get in touch with Waves Support!

[@adriennenye4157]

Big Sur and M1 and PT 12 did not work for me. Video engine shows my video and you can scrub through but it won’t just play the video. So frustrating. Any ideas?

[@SundayFunday]

Hey hey! Avid Video Engine is supported on Pro Tools 2021.10, the release from last October. As of this release, Avid announced Apple Silicon support for the Avid Video Engine, which means that video can now be played on Apple Silicon-based machines (more info here: www.pro-tools-expert.com/production-expert-1/pro-tools-hdx-and-video-formats-tested-on-apple-m1-max). I haven’t tried it personally. I would update the version from Pro Tools 12 to Pro Tools 2021.12 to start > after that, I would try some different video formats to see if the problem persists for all types, or only certain formats.

[@adriennenye4157]

@@SundayFunday yes 2021.12 is what I meant. I changed the fps to the lower number and it works now!! Thank you!!

[@SundayFunday]

Love it, glad you got it working!!

[@itsdreamstreet]

Hey man how do you run protools via Rosetta 2? I've been stuck for the past 6 months trying to use my waves plugins but no luck yet

[@SundayFunday]

Hey hey! There’s no way to turn Pro Tools opening via Rosetta on/off. Pro Tools isn’t supported natively yet, which means it opens via Rosetta every time, it has to. For the waves plugins, mine have worked from day 1 with no issues. Waves v13.0.0 is qualified to work on M1, make sure you’ve got the latest version!!

[@israelaruzamen6350]

can someone give me the link for this pro tools version for mac? pleasseeeeeee

[@SundayFunday]

Hey hey! You can purchase a perpetual license from my friends at Sweetwater, link here 👉👉 www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PTSoft-e--avid-pro-tools-with-1-year-of-updates-and-support-plan-perpetual-license-download

[@SundayFunday]

Every now and then, Avid will do a sale on perpetual licenses where they slash the price in half or more!

[@MagmaOfficialTV]

Thanks for the video. I'm using a new M1 on Big Sur with a PT 2021.12.0 as well and I keep on having problems, CPU error 6101. Buffer size is way higher than needed, tried to get rid of all plug-ins but the session is stopping after a few minutes. Sometimes 2/3 minutes, sometimes 60 minutes or so... Any suggestions ?

[@SundayFunday]

Hey hey! I see the following article on Avid’s site regarding that error > avid.secure.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/error_message/AAE-6101-Error-Occurs-Pro-Tools-Mac After that, I would increase the memory cache, remove any and all plugins from the session, reduce the track count, remove the interface, step back to previous version(s), and try the actions after each one to see if any luck.

[@MagmaOfficialTV]

@@SundayFunday . Many thanks I’m going to try and follow your advice and see if things improve.

[@Diamond2009now]

Are these effects coming from the DAW or your Audio Interface? The reason I ask. I also have a MAc Minim1 and AI is the ZENQ, but when using Garage band it won't allow me to use the effects of ZENQ from Antelope. So I'm considering getting Pro Tools for iMac Mini m1 since that is what I used when I started to record back in 2002. Please advice. And thanks for this video, very informative. Still watching at the moment. I will really appreciate your feedback and advice. Thanks again.

[@SundayFunday]

Hey hey! The Antelope effects require the AFX2DAW bridge plugin to work natively inside DAWs, which require AAX/VST/AU plugin versions to work. More info here >> en.antelopeaudio.com/products/afx2daw/

[@yungbankka5165]

need help to launch my protools on m1 Mac

[@SundayFunday]

Hey hey! I just double-click Pro Tools to launch 🚀 Thanks for watching!!

[@bibik44]

I have some graphics glitch on iMac Intel i9 in last two PT versions too

[@SundayFunday]

Haha, I’ve been a Pro Tools user for a decade now and counting, I’ve seen some things 😳

[@kevinjackson7539]

I can't wait to see what the m1 pro might do? I'm debating if l should update my kaby lake i7 with 32gigs of ram or get the m1 pro when it finally comes out?

[@SundayFunday]

I’m anxious to see how the new machines perform as well!

[@GrigioPeru]

Are you using the base model or 16gb version

[@SundayFunday]

Hey hey! I’m using the 16GB memory, Avid recommends installing as much RAM as possible generally promotes better performance in Pro Tools native or hybrid systems.

[@ErikBiskopst]

Does the fan often kick in?

[@SundayFunday]

Hey hey! Nope, I never hear it!

[@ProVoiceBH]

Thank you very much for these videos. By the way, what was the buffer size during recording?

[@SundayFunday]

Hey hey! It would have been 64 or 128, barely perceivable latency, even while tracking through plugins. Im gonna do a video on that soon, talking about tracking through plugins without DSP being needed.

[@ProVoiceBH]

@@SundayFunday Wow I’m so excited to see M1’s capabilities in recording with plugins at low buffer size! Because I will be moving from Window PC to Mac M1 next month, and wondering whether I’ll also need to invest in UA Apollo X for low latency monitoring with DSP (this would be my primary objective of getting an Apollo). So your next video will help me A LOT to take the right decision. Can’t wait to hit the LIKE button 🤩 Again, thanks for your useful and practical videos 🙏

[@SundayFunday]

Awesome! Let me know what plugins you’re most interested in seeing tracking through (pre-amps, EQs, compressors, de-essers, etc.), and I’ll do my best to cover as many as I can!

[@ProVoiceBH]

@@SundayFunday Thanks my friend for your kind response, appreciated. In my scenario, if I’ll go so extreme with plugins during tracking here’s my full list : Waves R-Vox for gating, CLA-2A, CLA-76, EQ III 7 band (sometimes I replace it with FabFilter Pro Q), and D-Verb (sometimes I replace it with Valhalla room). If my PC is still breathing I go ahead and add Mod Delay III and Waves DeEsser for full convenience 😅. It would be appreciated if you could try my list (or part of it if don’t have the whole list). BTW, in my scenario I usually track in a simple session, so just a vocal track with a click track, along with Aux for the delay and reverb. Again, thanks for such detailed tests 🙏

[@ErnestoPossiSpanishVoiceOver]

Great video! Congratulations !

[@SundayFunday]

Hey hey! Thanks very much!

[@unclejakesmusicgroup]

Great Video!! I'm just wondering if you are recording to an external ssd or are you using the internal drive. If it's the internal one, did you go for an upgrade or the 512Gb?

[@SundayFunday]

Hey hey!! I am recording to an external SSD drive, although I did also upgrade the storage capacity to 1TB just in case for video work.

[@SundayFunday]

Hey hey! Many viewers also wonder 💭 How does KONTAKT work on 🍎 Apple M1 Mac Mini? WATCH HERE TO FIND OUT!! 👉👉 Does KONTAKT WORK on an Apple M1 Mac Mini ??? [Sunday Funday #205] kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3fTkJawl5Kmf6s

[@youngbanker1066]

Protools keeps crashing on My Mac mini m1 16gb

[@youngbanker1066]

Any solutions?

[@kevinjackson7539]

Any solutions? Want to get one but l need it to work

[@SundayFunday]

The best solution is to make sure the system is aligned with the pro tools OS compatibility chart, as much as possible. Reference: avidtech.my.salesforce-sites.com/pkb/articles/en_US/compatibility/Pro-Tools-Operating-System-Compatibility-Chart Reference: avidtech.my.salesforce-sites.com/pkb/articles/Knowledge/Pro-Tools-Supported-Apple-Computers-and-Operating-Systems

[@SundayFunday]

Once that is done, if it’s still not working, and if you have an active subscription or perpetual license, I would get in touch with Avid support. I would simultaneously start searching for any pro tools issues with my device/ram/os configuration in your favorite search engine.

[@SundayFunday]

I know this comment was from a while ago, thanks for watching, and I hope you found a solution!!

[@David-mx2jx]

simply download Protools 2021.10 if you need video engine to work without any problems or modification

[@SundayFunday]

Hey hey! thanks for watching and for the advice!!

[@David-mx2jx]

What MAcOS are you running on the Mac mini M1 ?

[@SundayFunday]

Hey hey! I'm currently running macOS: Big Sur Version 11.6.2.
