Pro Q4
Hi FF!
thanks for making such great plugins! we write you to give you a feedback on your Pro Q4 eq. we have problems with Pro Q4. it sometimes doesn't read the automation, changes the volume of the dialogues. Sometimes it completely silences the dialogue stem or the whole session and only restart helps.
But the main problem is the constantly popping up "Audio processor deadline was not met" message. We are useing Protools 24.10.2 and Mac Studio M2 ultra 64gb. os 15.4. Buffer size on max (1024 samples)
Is there any possibility to fix it right now? we are in the middle of feature mixing and q4 makes us nervous. thanks a lot! best regards.

Hi Miroslav,
Could you elaborate on the automation issue? We're not aware of that.
In regards to the "Audio processor deadline was not met", the seems to be an issue with the dynamic playback engine of Pro Tools 2024.6 and up. We're investigating with Avid to see what is going on, but since 2024.3 does not have this issue it appreas that an update to the dynamic playback engine in Pro Tools has some kind of bug.
