ProTools 2025.10 on macOS Sequoia
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new session.
- create two mono Audio Tracks ("Dia1" and "Dia2")
- create one 5.1 Aux Track ("DiaSum")
- Dia1 and Dia2: insert a Pro Q 4.10 each
- DiaSum: insert a Pro-DS 1.30 (multi-mono)
- Route Dia1 to DiaSum.
- Route of Dia2 does not matter.
- Trying to EQ Match on Dia1, using Dia2 as reference.
- Starting to "run audio through the plugin" - after several seconds the Beachball appears and never stops. (tried free-running, also tried running a short selection.)
Crash only occurs when DiaSum is 5.1 (did not try Stereo) AND when Pro-DS is inserted on DiaSum.
Thanks for fixing!
