New Machine, High Core Count...
-
Heyya! I just updated my machine to a shiny new one running Catalina, and I've noticed the AAX plugin seems to take a second to start processing? Catalina warns that 'it can't guarantee it's not malicious code' so I imagine that is just a matter of some updated codesigning? and lastly, The parallel processing on high core counts gets a little hard to read, see attached
I hope some of this is helpful

Hello Dustin,
Thanks for your message.
When do you get that warning? When opening ABDX Standalone or when pressing “Render” in the plugin?
I have Absentia DX 2.2.3 running on macOS Catalina 10.15.3 with Pro Tools 2020 and I wasn’t able to replicate them.
Could you please provide more details about your system, Pro Tools, and OS versions?
Thanks!

Hi Facundo,
I'm running ABDX 2.2.3, Pro Tools Ultimate 2020.5, and MacOs 10.5.6, iMac 2020 (iMac 20,2)The warning is gone; I had to go into System Preferences > Privacy & Security and allow ABDX to run.
When hitting render on the plugin in pro tools, it seems to wait a second or two before it begins processing (on the old system running 10.13.6, processing started virtually immediately)
I don't know if this is a function of how Pro Tools on Catalina handles background tasks or something... it just responds differently than on High Sierra.
Here's a link to a video. The cursor became a spinning beach ball while it was stalling, but that doesn't show up in the screen grab for some reason.
Thanks!

Hello Dustin,
That can be normal depending on your system capabilities, processing, amount of resources used on the Pro Tools session, etc. I wouldn't say it's particularly related to Catalina as I had similar delay times running it on a machine with Mojave.
If you have any other questions please let us know.
Thanks!
