I am running into an issue where my Garritan CFX Piano AAX plugin is not recognized by Pro Tools running in native mode on Apple Silicon. Garritan (MakeMusic) has acknowledged that their plugin cannot run in PT in native mode on Apple silicon. Their solution seems to be "run using Rosetta" until they can get their plugin updated at some future time with no date or priority given. So I'm thinking this is at least a year or more out. If they were close, they would have said something to that effect, but I don't think they have even started working on it yet.
So curious if anyone else has to run PT on the M1/M2 using Rosetta because "X" plugin is forcing their hand. Seeing any downsides?
Thanks,
Carvel

Rosetta is supposed to just reskin the Intel plug the first time then save it that way.
Not pt but I didn’t notice much difference running rosetta on my Mac for logic, only the first time.

I don't have numbers to back this, but I noticed a significant difference going from Rosetta-run PT to one of their M1 native Beta's. We're talking rudimentary stuff, like moving fast in pro tools, stopping playback or recording to scrub to another part in the timeline, adding tracks, etc. For additional context, I did notice a dip in performance when I initially switched from my frankenstein xeon e5 2670 PC to the Mac Mini. After the M1 update, I think it's overall smoother on the mac mini.
But I'm running a 16GB M1 mac mini; so not at all one of the more powerful ones. The rosetta/native difference might not matter at all for strong macs.

Running PT on Mac Studio when in Rosetta mode pro tools seemed to be just a hair slower. Loading and loading plugins etc .
Not really enough to matter for me as it was very slight difference.
Edit : thought I read pro tools last update speed up the loading scanning plugins

I only run PT in Rosetta. Still some plugs that won’t work. Can’t remember what they are, but it seemed like it was something I used. It’s a little slower using Rosetta. But nothing shattering.

The rosetta/native difference might not matter at all for strong macs. Wouldn’t a beta be inherently less efficient as in not finalized software ? I think it depends how stable we're talking. My beta experiences (which are not like vast or endless, mind you) aren't usually slower than official releases unless there's some major flaw that's progressing making things worse like a memory leak or something. I don't remember when I opted/downloaded the public beta, but if it says anything, I don't even know if I downloaded an "official release" so that probably means it's been stable enough if I've forgotten about it entirely.
But I'm by no means a power-user in terms of plugins/tracks/etc. I pride myself in operating Pro Tools fast, but these days I'm trying to do way more before I hit tape..disk...er...SSD?
You have my interest piqued now though. It's wild that I don't even know if I'm on a beta or official release...
