  • VEP Slave Instances Not Reloading Under Pro Tools (Mac)

    Hi there. I'm on a Mac/OS 10.12.5, Pro Tools 12.8.1 and the latest VE Pro. Using another Mac Pro as a slave. Everything's working fine except that when I quit and relaunch Pro Tools (after launching VEP on slave Mac first), I have to reconnect each instances. VEP does not load the instances. I'm assuming VEP should load properly without reconnecting each time I boot up a saved session with preserved on.

    Before using a slave, I had VEP connected via local. VEP always remembers to launch with the proper instruments automatically loaded each time I boot a Pro Tools session. This is not the case when I started using a Mac slave.

    Any tips appreciated. Thanks!

    Two things - are you using a static ip address? Dynamic ip addressing will do what you're seeing. The other is are you working coupled or decoupled? As I understand things decoupled would do what you're seeing.

     

    A heads up: if you're not on the DUC you might not know about this but stay away from the PT12.8.2 as there are a couple of issues with it that Avid is supposedly working on with hotfixes.
