Yesterday Avid announced ‘just in time for Christmas’ the Pro Tools 11.1 update. Some users stuggled to find the list of changes that Pro Tools 11.1 includes, below the list of updates (or should we say fixes) included. Out of interest last week Apple released Logic Pro X 10.0.5, the release notes are here… discuss.

Again, Mac users wanting to use Mavericks in particular are left wondering if this update will break more than it fixes.
