Pro Tools Launch Error With Mac OS X 10.4.9. Working with the dock and the system tray. Page tools: Share on Facebook.
First, the update to version 6. Pro Tools TDM fixed the following bugs: While writing automation, a Pro Control fader could lose communication with Pro Tools, resulting in no automation written for the time the lapse occurred. When using Machine Control with an external timecode offset (in the fields labelled 'Session Start Offsets' located in the Session Setup window), Pro Tools did not take the offset into account when performing an auto- edit on the nine- pin device. Scrubbing or shuttling a nine- pin device did not smoothly update the nine- pin device when using either the control- surface jog wheel or the 'Shuttle' Numeric Keypad Mode.
If a selection had been made on a Playlist at a timeline position after the incoming timecode, the screen would not properly scroll to the timecode location. Digidesign then announced a further update up to version 6. Pro Tools TDM, which fixed a bug with input gain on legacy peripherals attached to a 1.

Pro Tools does not support sleep mode on Macs, so make sure it's off by going into your System Preferences, launching Energy Saver, clicking the Sleep tab, and disabling all Sleep features. Set 'Put the computer to sleep when it is inactive' to Never. Also, do not manually put your computer to sleep when running Pro Tools. Because of the default F- key settings in Mac OS X and Expose, the F9, F1. F1. 1 keys will not initially work in Pro Tools. To change the Expose settings in order to use these keys in Pro Tools go into your System Preferences, launch Expose, and in the middle section turn off the F9 to F1.
This will enable you to use the F9 (Scrub tool), F1. Pencil Tool) and F1. Wait for MIDI Note) shortcuts. After copying a Session from a CD- ROM to a local drive it is necessary to change the permissions of the data. From the Finder, choose the File Menu and Get Info, open the Ownership & Permissions pane, and change the permissions from 'Read only' to 'Read & Write'. It is possible that Pro Tools will crash when you are simultaneously burning a CD with i. Tunes and working in Pro Tools, so the advice is to quit Pro Tools before burning CDs with i.
Tunes. When opening Sessions which have been renamed in the Finder with names longer than 3. Pro Tools will truncate the name with an added unique identifier tag when the session is open. Pro Tools does not rename the Session, but just visually represents the name differently, so don't worry . You have been warned! Also updated this month is the EQ III Digirack plug- in (shown above).
The update fixes the problems with settings being incorrectly recalled which was mentioned last month. As usual, all the updates I've mentioned here are available from the Support/Downloads section of the Digidesign web site (www. With Mac OS 1. 0.
Pro Tools) and 1. Apple report that some of their own applications might not open fully or at all if the Digidesign Core Audio driver has been installed. Instead of opening, an application's icon just bounces in the dock indefinitely, or a black triangle appears below the icon in the dock, but the application's windows and menus don't appear. The applications that may be affected are Quicktime Player, i. Tunes, i. DVD, i. Movie, Garage Band and Final Cut Express. If this happens to you, Audio MIDI Setup can usually be used to work around the issue.
Apple's recommended solution is to change the default audio device used by Core Audio as follows: Open Audio MIDI Setup (which lives in the folder Applications/Utilities on your hard drive). Click the Audio Devices tab. From the Default Output pop- up menu, choose Built- in Audio. You should now be able to open all affected applications as expected. Meanwhile, Digidesign are reporting problems with Core Audio 6. Roxio's Jam, whereby Jam won't play through Digidesign hardware using Core Audio v.
They advise the following: Make sure the Digidesign hardware is selected in your Sound Control Panel. Launch Jam and, in its preferences, select 'Mac OS X Audio HAL' for the audio driver. Quit Jam, launch the Core Audio Manager and check that it's showing it's 'connected' in the status field. Launch Jam. It should now play through your Digi hardware. If it's not, try trashing the preferences for Jam and the Core Audio driver (trash DAE Preferences, Digisetup and either com.

Some folks are still having problems, but they seem to be those who upgraded to Mac OS 1. Quicktime v. 7. The official line is that for 1. Panther') you shouldn't go beyond 1. Quicktime 6. 5. 2. Finally, Digidesign have pointed out an Audiosuite bug which affects Pro Tools v.
When you try to use an Audiosuite plug- in on a region, you can you get a error message that reads 'This plug- in only processes 4. The current selection is not a multiple of that.' It was first thought to be a Waves plug- in issue, but then there have been reports that the Digirack EQ III causes a similar problem which Digidesign have confirmed. It can be avoided by closing the Audiosuite window after processing. It seems to only happen if you keep an Audiosuite window open between processes. They have added a further workaround, which is to change a parameter in the Audiosuite window before processing. They are continuing to look into this but, in the mean time, the safe advice is not to have more than one Audiosuite plug- in window open at any one time.
Finally I would like to draw your attention to a useful web site. It is The Pro Tools Plug- in Preset Co- op, which has been set up to allow Pro Tools users to share plug- in settings in the form of plug- in preset files which can be uploaded and downloaded. Preset files are categorised by plug- in, and can have a searchable description including what they are and how they can be used. It has been designed with extensive searching and selecting capabilities making it easy to find the sort of preset you're been looking for.
