AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAvid released native Apple Silicon support for Pro Tools in version 2023.3 and later, so a native build is available today. To upgrade from the Intel version to the native Universal Binary, use Avid's Application Manager (Avid's built-in update tool): launch Pro Tools, go to Help → Check for Updates, and let Application Manager download and install the latest version. This will automatically serve the native Apple Silicon build on M-series Macs. Alternatively, you can download Pro Tools directly from Avid's website at avid.com/pro-tools; the installer will detect your Mac's architecture and install the appropriate native build. If you previously obtained Pro Tools through a direct installer, simply re-downloading from Avid's main product page will pull the native version. Once updated, you will notice significantly better performance, improved battery life, and more efficient CPU usage compared to running under Rosetta 2.
