Now it's working properly, and it wasn't like that before. Actually, my mouse was sluggish sometimes because that I think.

So we updated of the firmware and the next time we open ProTools, everything was working like a Charm, and that was all.Īt any case, I consider another thing relevant in this case, which was to leave the Sonnet Chassis, completely alone in one of the two thunderbolt busses of the computer.

Then we just opened ProTools and suddenly the ProTools gives us an error related with the firmware of the card, asking us to update that firmware. We delete everything and installed again several times with no success, and we started to think the problem was my chassis, a Sonnet Echo Express III, or the card that could be broken.īut in a moment of inspiration, this guy asked me to reate a new user, and open a new session from that user. So, the first time I opened ProTools, my HDX card was not there.

This is a complete new installation, but the first time I install ProTools I did it at home using as interface the Built-In audio of my Mac. I received a call from a Guy of AVID Support tema, and after almost 3 hours deleting and installing again we found what was happening. Any Ideas? Is there a way to create a ticket in AVID to get from the support? I have even try a Digitest, but obviously, no slot is recognized. I have done everything I can do until now but my card does not exist for my system. I have opened anyway the chassis, and I have seen that the card is receiving power, and the different green lights are blinking. I have checked in the system info of my computer if my Sonnet Echo Express III TB2 is working, and yes, it's working, active and recognized by the thunderbolt port. I have re-installed proTools from scratch again too. Just in case I did what is suggested in this post with no success: I have checked everything I have seen in a post in this forum. But now I have moved to the studio, and there is no way that my computer detect my HDX Card. I have been installing ProTools and plugins at home, and everything was working in Native mode with no problem.

Without paying huge amounts solely for a modern mac that has slots.I have a new computer updated to High Sierra 10.13.3 and ProTools completely updated as well to the last version 2018.1. 5,799.00 Pro Tools HDX Core card with Pro Tools Ultimate software. This way, it’s possible to do the final tweaks to maximize the mix and make subtle changes unique to that exact location. Now my mixer friend can easily go onsite to her client (a museum) and test the mix using a 13″ Macbook Pro, Protools, and the Avid HDX card in an Akitio Node Titan. It’s easy enough to grab and go – keeping in mind that you have to still plug it in.

Solution: If you’re a ProTools user on the Mac, an Akitio Node Titan plus Avid’s HDX card can maximize mixing in Protools regardless if you’re on a Macbook Pro, MacMini, Mac Studio, or even, yes, the MacPro.įun bonus: the Titan has a handle on the top. Every Mac since 2016/17 has had Thunderbolt 3. I can’t believe that I can’t install more RAM or change the SSD on desktop systems like the MacMini and MacStudio.Īt least Thunderbolt gives a path for some expansion. Typically, Apple ranks towards the bottom for expandability and repairs for this reason. My biggest frustration? Apple’s driving force to make things smaller has made systems less expandable and repairable. Apple has, in many ways, leapfrogged their prior CPUs and GPUs, which have been dependent on third-party hardware from Intel and AMD.

(Don’t get me started on some of the confusion on Windows systems.)Īpple has almost entirely switched to M1 systems on a chip. Their Thunderbolt implementation has always been top of the line. Apple has always been progressive about their ports-they build their systems well, especially in this regard.

USB-C (which is also excellent), cannot do this. Thunderbolt can communicate directly with the CPU. Pro Tools HDX: Each HDX DSP card has 37 times the processing power of a. The problem: “What do you do when you need to add a hardware card to Apple computers that aren’t a Mac Pro?” With the release of ProTools 10, Avid has introduced their new HDX system. But the $5,000 elephant in the room is the Mac Pro.
