Pro Tools 12.6.1 Announced - Core Audio Support Returns
Avid, the makers of Pro Tools, have announced Pro Tools 12.6.1. In the release notes Avid say the following;
HD Driver
Updated Core Audio Driver for HD systems
Pro Tools 12.6.1 includes a newly made HD Driver that is adapted to the significant changes made in Mac OS starting with OS X 10.10. This new driver restores Core Audio support and is included with Pro Tools HD 12.6.1.
Bug Fixes
MIDI Delay Compensation
MIDI notes are no longer recorded late by the delay compensation value (PT-220861)
Breakpoint Editing
Grid Toggle is disabled when adjusting automation, MIDI, or Clip Gain breakpoint controls in Slip Mode to avoid conflict with fine-control editing (PT-221294)
Pressing the Command key (Mac) or Control key (Windows) while editing automation and MIDI breakpoints now suppresses Grid mode and enables fine-control editing. This is now consistent with breakpoint editing behavior for Clip Gain. Fine-control editing can be disengaged during mouse-down by releasing the Command key (Mac) or Control key (Windows), and then re-engaged by pressing the Command key (Mac) or Control key (Windows) again (PT-221952)
Using the Smart Tool to add a breakpoint on a Clip Gain line no longer incorrectly constrains the breakpoint to the nearest grid line (PT-221919)
Fixed multiple automation breakpoint editing inconsistencies with Grabber Tool (PT-221862)
Editing
The Tandem Trimming option (introduced in Pro Tools 12.6) has been removed from the Options menu. Tandem Trimming is only available using key modifiers: Command-Control-click (Mac) or Control-Start-click (windows) with the Trim tool. Note that TCE and Elastic trim do not support Tandem Trimming.
Fade length settings from the batch fades dialog are now used when pressing the single-key "f" command to create fades (PT-218064)
Fixed a case where clip groups from created before 12.6 were broken when opening the session (PT-221888)
Audiosuite rendering with Clip by Clip and Create Individual Files settings no longer alters clip lengths unexpectedly (PT-216026)
With a selection across Audio and Instrument tracks, nudge no longer fails to move audio clips within the selection (PT-221115)
The Heal Separation command no longer includes adjacent clips that are not selected in some cases while using Layered Editing (PT-221928)
The nudge command no longer fails to move selected MIDI notes while using Layered Editing (PT-221116)
Deleting a fade out that is also an overlap of another clip no longer deletes the underlapping clip (PT-221271)
Edit/Timeline Selection is no longer lost when copying a selection within a clip to a new playlist (PT-221270)
Moving a fade on one clip that overlaps another no longer trims the underlapping clip (PT-221450)
While using the respective "Send Fully Overlapped Clips..." preference for editing, clips that are fully overlapped by nudging another clip over it no longer fail to be sent to a new playlist (PT-221274)
Fixed a case where Analysis markers would not be displayed on part of an underlapped clip when switching to Warp track view (PT-221672)
Automation and Mixing
Fixed a case where soloing and unsoloing tracks could cause AAE error -9155 "Automation is too dense." (PT-220691)
Previously written front-to-back pan automation now plays back correctly while previewing front left/right automation moves (PT-221130)
Engaing a VCA solo no longer fails to change the state of solos on tracks in the underlying group (PT-222010)
Emphasis has been added to the dialog warning users about writing automation to the entire timeline (PT-221890)
Fixed a case where newly created VCAs could not be record enabled on the S6 Master Post Module (PT-221664)
Crashes and Errors (Please continue to submit crash logs!)
Fixed cases where certain sessions created before 12.6 would throw an assertion error when opening or crash when attempting to Import Session Data (PT-221127)
Fixed a case where entering track comments could cause a crash on Windows 8 and Windows 10 only (PT-218721)
Fixed a case where deleting a VCA track with a D-Control connected to Pro Tools could cause a crash (PT-221285)
Fixed a case where deleting complex multi-selections of clips and clip groups across multiple tracks could cause a crash (PT-221288)
Fixed a case where dragging and dropping a MIDI file to a MIDI Instrument track caused a crash (PT-222247)
Fixed a case where unchecking "Ignore Errors" in the playback engine could cause a crash with some 3rd party audio interfaces (PT-209601)
Fixed a case where undoing immediately or sometime after using the keyboard shortcut to switch playlists would cause a crash (PT-221780)
Video
Fixed a case where frames would be dropped at the beginning of playback with newer BlackMagic video cards (PT-221056)
Workspace
Workspace searches of mapped network volumes no longer fail to find files as expected (PT-211720)
Miscellaneous
When recording to Avid ISIS or NEXIS storage, an intermittent delay of several seconds no longer occurs when starting a record pass (PT-216388)

Fixed an assertion error that could occur after undoing a track download that could prevent further downloads on affected tracks (PT-220148)

When going offline and back online, collaboration features no longer fail to reactivate (PT-221749)
