Native Instruments Pro Tools compatibility under Mac OS X 10.5 – Soundsonline-Forums February 21, 2008
Posted by Damon Sink in : Digital home recording studios , add a commentImportant: Native Instruments Pro Tools compatibility under Mac OS X 10.5 – Soundsonline-Forums
Native Instruments has identified a major compatibility issue with its products in Pro Tools hosts under Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. This issue can result in intermittent freezes when running RTAS versions of NI instruments or effects with Pro Tools under the latest Macintosh operating system.
Native Instruments is working closely with Digidesign to resolve these compatibility issues and will release RTAS updates for its products as soon as possible. A specific release schedule will be provided at a later date. In the meantime, Native Instruments does not recommend using the RTAS versions of its products under Mac OS X 10.5 in conjunction with Pro Tools.
