Re: Dumping PCIe Support with Mac 10.15 Catalina

Yes. The current drivers are 64 bit, but the control panel apps are 32 bit. Sorry but there is no reason that I can see for doing them 32 bit. Lets hope they see the light.

Re: Dumping PCIe Support with Mac 10.15 Catalina

As far as efficiency, What I have seen is this Running Pro tools with the native pci card, through madi, the pro tools cpu meter shows 5% load Same set up using TB chassis, PT jumps up to 20-25%. Running pro tools, using a pci 424 card and 2408 mk 3, cpu meter shows 25-35%. This usage is while runni...

Re: Dumping PCIe Support with Mac 10.15 Catalina

I just checked. The legacy interfaces are supported only up to windows 8, the new ones through windows 10. And I don’t see a new interface they have that has three adat lightpipe banks, audio monitoring, and a way to connect that is as fast as PCIe. This is a downgrade in performance as far as I can...

Re: Dumping PCIe Support with Mac 10.15 Catalina

Well it kind of does. The mac pro 2013 didn’t have a pci slot. So the new ones are the first to have them in six years. And while catalina can work on the previous 2012 cheese graters, they are not officially supported. BUT, what about windows? Are they still supported there? At the moment I can’t c...

Re: Dumping PCIe Support with Mac 10.15 Catalina

What is TB pcie? I was told today by a motu tech they would not be updating to 64 bit. I also told them there are a lot of guys that have these interfaces, that they still work with catalina, the kext still works, the only thing missing is the app. If enough people complain perhaps they will. I’ e g...

Dumping PCIe Support with Mac 10.15 Catalina

As I understand, MOTU will no longer support their PCIe card or the associated interfaces, just as Apple brings back it's Mac with PCIe slots (which Mac users have been waiting for for 6 years. Here's the thing: the driver is 64 bit and still works, the control panel is 32 bit and does not work. It'...
