BFD3.5 has soft launched. Official launch is in March. I’m looking into fixing the Dark Farm download right now!
These expansion packs are not 100% the same as previous ones, and if your content acts funny with BFD3.5, I highly recommend downloading the newer packs from the inMusic Software Center. This will be the official advice too.
Pro Tools Apple Silicon Native AAX is working well - once it gets going. One thing that’s happening consistently is that “Checking Login Status” then “Checking Product Registrations” cycles on the plugin window for about 1 minute and 7 seconds whenever an instance of the AAX plugin is opened (or instantiated on a track) for the first time since Pro Tools has launched. If there’s more than one instance of BFD in the session, this happens with each instance of the plugin. (Note, this doesn’t seem to affect playback or processing of the plugin, just access to the GUI). Do others experience this? Is it a known issue?
[I’m using Pro Tools Studio 2024.10.2 on a MacBook Pro with M1 Max running MacOS Sonoma 14.4.]
Yeah, I posted this days ago and it never got approved until today. I was just basing that on trying to run the Software Center on Mojave and it prompted that it needed Catalina minimum. I was assuming that since BFD 3.5 was just an incremental update that it wouldn’t require more than Catalina also.
Edit: Thinking about it some more… I think it’s kind of a bit unfair that this update made such a big OS jump on the Mac side. It’s now 5 versions ahead of High Sierra, which was the minimum requirement for the previous build. I mean I get it… it’s an incremental update at face, but really a bit more.
