PRO TOOLS SOFTWARE PRO
You can download the Pro Tools power test here. Then we add as many instances of Avid Eleven II until the session no longer plays without giving playback errors.Īs we say, it's not perfect, we're sure you could think of a thousand variants in a test, but it's one we've used for years, which means we can compare previous test results. We add 256 instrument tracks, insert Boom and MIDI so all instances at playing the virtual instrument. On every audio track, we insert Channel Strip and Dverb, so that's 128 instances of each. We create 128 audio tracks with audio on every track, with audio edits taking place every few seconds.Įvery track has fader automation throughout playback for the entire session. With that said, how well can Pro Tools perform on a chip and OS that isn't supported, and with a layer of software translation taking place? Will it even run without crashing?

Secondly, this all sits on macOS Big Sur, which isn't officially supported when using Pro Tools at this time. Apple is ready for this with their Rosetta 2 translation tool that allows you to run applications not yet ready to run natively on the Apple Silicon M1 CPU.
However, conducting the MacBook Pro M1 audio power test presents us with a couple of issues to consider.įirstly, Pro Tools isn't supported on the new Apple M1 silicon Macs. Over the last few years we've run our Pro Tools power test session, which although isn't perfect, it's the benchmark we use to see how different computers perform when put under strain on a Pro Tools session. We have already run the Apple MacBook Pro 13" M1 Audio Power Test with Apple Logic Pro and Space Designer, if you want to see how that performed.
The Apple MacBook Pro M1 audio power test is a series of tests we are conducting on various DAWs, to see how they perform at this early stage.
