Hi guys,
I have tested 12.5, 12.3 and 10.3.5. PT 10.3.5 is much faster than two former versions mentioned!
Pro Tools 12.5 and 12.3 are slow when you click the interface, like clicking on clips or switching track is way slow and my system specs satisfies requirements more than what's needed and I should expect good performance. I have seen a few people had created topics regarding the speed of user interface in pro tools and how slow it is. Any fix? My issue with PT 10.3.5 is restricted plugins available - 32 bit daw.

 

Pro Tools slows down it's responsiveness to selecting objects & tracks, scrolling etc when it's been running for a while. This has been an issue since way before v10...

It's been discussed on the Avid forum many times... Restarting Pro Tools usually fixes the issue.

 

No it is not like that. It is slow even when you start the empty session and I said version 10 does not have that issue!

 

I have no issues on empty sessions on PT12.5...only the issue I've described above which usually arises on heavily edited sessions after PT being open for a few hours.

 

because Avid sucks

 

Usage depending upon how your system is setup, as well as, being used (retail or cracked).
Usage also varies by OS (Mac or Windows).

If you only have one computer. Setup a profile for just audio work. Preferably off-line mode.
Make certain nothing is running in the background that could hamper performance.
Use native ASIO drivers that come with your hardware or, Magix AISO driver for Windows (search sister site).
Pro Tools does not work well with ASIO4All.

On Windows 10 and, if not being used, turn off the WlanSvc (WLAN AutoConfig). This can be done from the Task Manager.
Left-Click Start, select Task Manager, select the Service Tab, click name column to put list in ascending order, scroll to bottom & left-click WlanSvc & disable.

Hopefully you have followed the prescribed system tuning guide on the Avid support site as well.

Should also note that Pro tools works better with Xeon CPUs (4C/8T/SMT/AVX minimum), matched memory for motherboard (16GB min, 32GB recommended). Solid State drive (s). The older Mac Pro towers were Xeon based.

On my current personal Xeon based system, Pro Tools can be pushed to momentary spiking at 100% & does not degrade audio or crash.

 

My only problem is with GUi lag and delay. I don't experience such thing in Pro Tools 10

 

The above could apply to graphics issues as well. Any bottleneck processing data (audio, video, etc...) will reveal itself as sluggishness.

Are your drivers up-to date?
Do you have internal graphics (CPU with onboard graphics, dedicated onboard graphics or both)?
Do you have a separate graphics card?

If you have internal graphics with dedicated graphics or a PCIe graphics card, turn of the APU graphics in the bios or set the shared memory as low as possible.

What is your hardware setup? This would help everyone make educated guesses in regards to aiding you.

 

My drivers are up to date.
Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 + GeForce® GTX 1060 with 6GB GDDR5
I don't know why pro tools 12.5 is so laggy but 10.3.5 is just fast and cool!
BTW, there is no "APU graphics" in the bios!
I appreciate your help man!

No problem. APU refers to a CPU with graphics. Most modern bios have the settings to either turn of or lower the memory used for that device. If you are on a laptop, the only option could be lowering the shared memory. Workstation & gaming level laptops ussualy allow disabling on-board graphics or switching to the better graphics solution to free up CPU load.

 

only AMD use the term APU for that. may cause some confusion for non AMD users.

I've been having the same issue on multiple systems, legit/not legit versions. It is extremely laggy when working with video.

Sadly, no cure yet.

The best version I use is on an old Mac Pro - Pro Tools 7.4, legit. Very snappy, great for editing.

 

Unfortunately I could not solve this issue. Thanks everybody for trying to help.
