The massively Big difference here is the new Chips, and there are going to be some growing pains. Apple is hardly being "Shifty" simply because of Source Connect's "short comings" in reaching compliance ? bundled Apple apps work fine on Monterey As well as an entire slew of 3 party apps and plug ins. Īnd given iMovie, Garageband, Logic and Final Cut Pro X et. Too bad about Source Connect but it is in fact their "shortcomings" of being slow to be compliant. If Avid's short comings of slow compliance are Avid's fault, then Source Connects slow compliance is SC's fault. Interesting and a bit hypocritical that you seem to be blaming Source Connect's "shortcomings" on Apple Yet blame Avid's exact same "shortcomings" on Avid. Yes Avid has always been slow to qualify new OS's where significant recoding is involved or new processor architecture, and as I noted given that history, most of complaints are objectively, self inflicted by the customer themselves jumping the gun. Such a prolific company should be able to be much more ahead of the curve, and these shortcomings have been evident for years. He agrees that the M1 unit should be able to downgrade, but they have an interest in not being helpful there.Īnd all I can do is agree with the other comments about AVID. He believes Apple may be being shifty in steering people to Monterey. They're about 4-6 months out from a new version that will work. Just got off a call with them and they said to absolutely avoid Monterey if at all possible because the link plug-in isn't compliant yet. One crucial AAX plug-in for me that absolutely has to work is Source-Connect link, as I do distance voice over work. At least I know I can take it up to Big Sur. So maybe I pulled the trigger early on the return.īut I have a lead on a different Mac mini unit that's Intel-based with 64GB RAM at half the cost. I actually went ahead and dropped it at FedEx yesterday. It is in fact functioning and usable, if somewhat limited in overall plugin selection. So looks like "sitting on hands" is more or less a self inflicted situation, and "can't use" is functionally inaccurate. Of course my studio machine is a 2020 iMac still on Catalina, so I am not having to rely on the MPB, and frankly given all the fore warning posted here I am confused why someone would put themselves in that position and of having to wait for Avid, if they somehow feel they "need" the Complete Bundle. It works as expected (Except) I can't rename busses from the send buttons, ? I have to go into the I/O and rename them ) not sure why. I have not downloaded my third party plugs (yet) although I know some are working. I have not even tried to download my Complete Plug In bundle as I understand it is not yet functional. It opens and works fine (albeit) only with the normal selection of bundled plugins. I have been doing some limited testing of PT Ultimate 2021.12,on my new MBP M1Pro chip machine. I have actually seen reports of people successfully running PT2021 on Monterey, and now that they seem to be ironing out the big early bugs in Monterey, it might be worth a try. Also I think the next generation is going to be much more expensive. It is actually the most powerful mac I ever owned. That's why I've found that a regular M1 mac dispite it's "limitations" is going to be fine for me for at least a year. How you want to proceed, I don't know, and I can't advice, but personally I think that we're still very early in the apple silicon transition, and that PT is far away from native ARM code. (Often they are to young to know how we used to switch between boot disks and OS versions in earlier days.) Says a lot about the quality of sales/support personnel nowadays. You're not the first person to have service persons say that you can't downgrade. I did it with a mac mini last week, it came new with Monterey. There is no question in my mind a Mini or imac with an M1 processor, a so-called 2020 model, originally shipped with Big Sur, and can therefore be downgraded to Big Sur, even if it comes w/Monterey.
