It works by automatically bouncing to a local cache location when pointing the Bounce Mix window to a network volume. It is also useful if a system does not have a renderer connected, and the mix needs to be monitored for non-mission-critical tasks.įaster ADM Bounces to Network Storage - A new preference has been added, called “Use Local Cache When Bouncing to Network Volume.” This significantly increases the speed of the bounce process in certain circumstances. This is useful if you require a rough headphone mix for editorial while the main mix is fed through a renderer. There is also an option for mono.īed/Object Fold Down - Beds are now included in the fold-down path making it easier to monitor a rough mix when a Dolby Atmos renderer is not available.Īlways Fold Down - You can now choose to always enable the channel-based fold-down path for a Dolby Atmos mix. This can be done by selecting “Use Dolby Atmos Renderer (Stereo)” in the I/O Setup bus tab, and then clicking the default button.
There has been a number of Dolby Atmos workflow related changes made to Pro Tools 2021.3 including…Įasier Setup of Stereo Objects - It’s now possible to automatically create stereo mapped objects based on the connected renderer input configuration. Other changes were made to improve overall visibility and usability across the entire application. Changes have been made to the various clip states and edit selection treatment so that they are easier to tell apart. Dark Theme Improvementsīased on your feedback, Avid has made numerous improvements to the Dark theme introduced in Pro Tools 2020.11. It can be found in the Window menu or opened using the shortcut, Shift+K. There can be instances where some components are not compatible with the code MC/PT runs on, so yes I agree.A new MIDI Keyboard window has been added in Pro Tools 2021.3, which enables you to play MIDI notes from your computer keyboard. just because avid doesn't have the resources to test that particular config. It's also worth mentioning that Avid cannot test every system in the world, so there are systems out there that perform just as well as qualified ones for a fraction of the cost. I have been running a Ryzen/GTX PC build for years and haven't yet faced one issue due to my system configuration. Avid says that Media Composer/Pro Tools runs better on qualified systems. Believe me, Media Composer is far more resource heavy and complex than Pro Tools. I run Media Composer almost daily and a bit of pro tools. Sometimes I find the official avid qualified system list to be snake oil.
Because of the timing here, you would almost certainly be able to upgrade to Win11 for free when its had some time to get updates to solve the initial bugs(which every OS has)
I would do one of three things here buy a PC from a company that builds computers specifically for Pro Tools(like or sweetwater), build a PC according to known-working specs(for hardware AND software), or go with an Avid-approved PC(like the HP X820/840 line)ģ-if you are certain the new PC is PT-compatible, then yes, I would ask the vendor to install Windows 10 Pro.
1-it can be dangerous to jump onto anything in its first release(it's likely to have lots of issues to iron out)Ģ-if you are buying an "off the shelf" PC, that can be a bad option for Pro Tools.
