PT12 on New Macbook Pro - Video Card?

Hey All

I'm looking to get a new Macbook Pro:
2,8GHz i7
16GB RAM
512GB Flash
Intel Iris Pro Graphics & AMD Radeon R9 M370X with 2GB

But, I noticed a model in the refurb store that only has the Intel Iris Pro Graphics. Is the secondary AMD graphics a must-have for Pro Tools? I have no immediate plan to use a secondary monitor with the rMBP but I might in the future.

Any advice? I would love to save a few hundred $ if I can!

Andrew

Pitch II plug-in midi control?

Is there a way to "play" the Pitch II plug-in with midi? That is, the midi notes select the note on the Pitch II keyboard. if you have a monotone track, you can apply a melody to it.

You can do this with the UAD Eventide H910 Harmonizer plug-in and it's very cool.

Thank you,
Parry

AAE error 6 onm PT 12

Ya know, I was on Yosemite for a few months and these dumb AAE errors got worse and worse. My audio was running off an internal SSD drive on a 2012 Macbook Pro and it made absolutely no sense. I eventually formatted the entire mix rig, and reinstalled Mountain Lion and every app from scratch - something I really wasn't looking forward to doing, and that eventually took me over 5 days to completely straighten out. With over 350 plugin licenses, settings and sample libraries to reinstall, it wasn't something I enjoyed...but I will say, I have not had a single AAE message since doing it. My Yosemite partition was running great otherwise, and all other apps were fine, so I suspect that Yosemite is not a great Operating System for Pro Tools. Then again, neither is El Capitan, since I first tried building up a new rig for that before discovering that many of my plugins weren't supported and don't work (Plugin Alliance, namely, which is a huge one for me).

Mountain Lion rocked, still rocks and I hope it will for some time. I'll be quite pissed once it is longer supported. I don't believe in this yearly update of a major operating system and personally, I'd rather keep older Pro Tools rigs going just to get the job done. They're stable, solid, and these days can be had for very little on the used market.

My 2 cents...

Ran out of CPU Power

I am wondering if anyone else has run into this problem and if it can be solved.
I have a mid 14 Macbook Pro 2.8 i7, 16gb RAM, PT 12.3.0 Native. Avid Omni. Yosemite 10.10.2.

Generally, minus the video engine errors, the system works well. That is if I have nothing else going on on the computer. Lets be honest, most of us need to multitask these days. If I have anything else going on like syncing with Dropbox or Hightail or whatever, I get these "ran out of CPU" errors.
I have tried running up the Disk Cache but it does not help. I am pretty baffled that I cannot run a session and multitask on my computer at the same time.
Doing some tests again today and my CPU usage in PT is at about 15%

I'm just looking for some insight here as the only solution I see is to buy a new Mac Pro which may or may not solve the problem.

PT 12.3.1 and AvidAppManager missing from downloads

Hello,

please see topic, only able to find 12.2.1 or so in my installs

FWIW I was able to find a downloaded version of 12.3, but right now I'm without AvidAppManager and so unable to update to the latest version of PT!

Thanks

EDIT: solved it, but would still prefer to have the latest versions of the software in my account!

Digi Sync i/o vs Digi Sync HD - PT12HD compatibility

Hi,

I see from this document that the blue sync i/o is not supported but the blue sync HD is kinda supported (when they say haven't tested, I'm presuming like the 192s that they work but they'd rather sell you the purple-faced stuff, feel free to correct me on this)

How do I tell if I have the Sync i/o or Sync HD? I know it used be on the face plate but then I've seen others that don't have it
Thanks
