Pro Tools Perfromance Issues with MOTU RTAS VIs - Posted June 3, 2009

MotU recently posted this on the Support page. It is a short posting so the entire text is reproduced here.

With the Pro Tools version 7.4 update, Digidesign implemented changes that cause performance issues with some of MOTU's RTAS virtual instrument plug-ins, including MOTU Symphonic Instrument, MOTU Ethno Instrument, and MachFive 2. (The current versions of MX4, Electric Keys, and BPM are not affected.) These issues will affect MSI, Ethno, and MachFive 2 users with Pro Tools LE and Pro Tools HD versions 7.4 and later (including Pro Tools version 8) under Mac OS X and Windows. Additionally, other DAW programs that utilize the Digidesign Audio Engine (such as Digital Performer in DAE mode or Logic in DAE mode) will exhibit these issues when using DAE versions 7.4 and later.

Our development department is aware of these issues. Any new information will be posted to www.motu.com as it becomes available.

These workarounds are available to affected users:

Revert to a version of Pro Tools prior to version 7.4.
Use the standalone version of MSI, Ethno, or MachFive 2 instead of the RTAS plug-in version.
Instantiate the AU or VST version of MSI, Ethno, or MachFive 2 in a secondary plug-in host application that will work alongside Pro Tools.

Waves Tony Maserati Collection won the MIPA award in 2009 Musikmesse Show in the Studio Recording Effects Software section.

Cakewalk Sonar V-Studio 700 receives the Best Recording Hardware award!

Motu has developed an interesting oscilloscope window in their all their "mk3" Firewire audio interface products. The oscilloscope graphs out the amplitube of an audio signal in real time.This allows you to see audio waveforms dynamically, rather than in the frozen state we usually see them as recorded audio. But how can you put an oscilloscope to good use in your day-to-day recording and music-making activity? Watch the new CueMix FX Oscilloscope movie to find out.

The CueMix FX Oscilloscope movie is a brief, two-minute presentation that shows the oscilloscope in action and provides several practical examples to get your ideas flowing.
