Thanks in advance for any advice/input you can provide. I'm not even sure if or how well such a setup would work (beyond the hassle factor of using 2 computers to control 2 different interfaces). Would there even be any way to integrate a Thunderbolt Blackface into my Firewire-only system now? About the only thing I can think of would be to possibly control the Blackface Apollo via my MPB, and route it via ADAT to my ULN-2 for the actual recording.

Will there be any potential bandwidth issues in later updating the Silverface to TB? I understand that the long-awaited Console 2.0 update is planned for November, but am wondering what other latency issues might crop up.

Will there be any significant issues with integrating a FW Silverface with my existing ULN-based setup? I was thinking I could use the ULN pre's via ADAT, plus the Axe-FX, either line or ADAT, routed to the Apollo to my MacPro, but would want to make sure I'd be getting the benefit of the Apollo's Unison tech (and that there would be no potential clocking issues).

I've been leaning towards picking up a Silverface Apollo Duo Firewire, and integrating it now with my existing setup, and later upgrading it to Thunderbolt when I upgrade my system. I also am tired of monitoring my direct signal when tracking to avoid latency, and am hoping the Apollo's DSP could help in that regard. What attracts me to the Apollo are the Unison preamps and flexible routing.

I would like to squeeze as much remaining life out of my existing setup as I can before the serious cash outlay I'd need to upgrade my whole system to a new MacPro (I use lots of other PCI-based gear), but realize that I'm going to need to bite the bullet before much longer (I wouldn't even be able to install the newest MacOS release if I hadn't flashed it to a 5,1). I generally record vocals through the excellent pre's of the ULN-2, and record guitars using the Axe-FX hooked directly via USB to the MacPro. (- 2011 MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt 1 that I generally don't use for audio work) Axe-FX II (Line- and ADAT-I/O, as well as USB I/O) Metric Halo ULN-2 firewire interface (very clean pre's, supports ADAT I/O) 2009 4,1 MacPro that has been hacked to a '5,1' (FW800, no Thunderbolt) Preamp special with the Apollo rack units, and trying to determine the best solution that is both compatible with what I have now and won't need to be replaced when I eventually upgrade. I'm shocked people still update on a new release and then complain it doesn't work.Hi all! I'm looking into taking advantage of the Sept. PT isn't supported in Monterey but if it is working, then it is working for some people. I'm in the boot of new MBP, but I have heard some people are able to use pro tools fine, no avid bundle but some other plugins are working and their are releases coming out that should at least cover Monterey. I kind of think there won't even be a release this year with what has happened. So I don't think we will see any updates for a long while. I needs to be erased.Īs far as I know, the main programmers are in Ukraine. Let's just hope everyone can get out safe from the terrorist Putin. Just think a statement would be helpful all round and wishing everyone working for Avid is safe (somehow). But I don’t know the facts, what proportion might be affected and what the impact for us might be (trivial though it seems). Have Avid made any kind of statement regarding the situation in Ukraine? It seems beyond petty to grumble about updates if their entire workforce is caught up in this atrocity.
