The most stable MacOs/PT combo now?
I'm upgrading my macpro5,1 to 6,1 trashcan.
What do you guys think is the most stable MacOs/PT combo in this age. I can basically have any combination, OS Yosemite~the latest and PT(regular one, not ultimate)12~the latest. My current setup is this. I get many cpu spike/overload errors despite the 1024 buffer and a few crashes everyday. And offline bouncing is really slow. I do film score so lot's of tracks/plugins and VEPs (Vienna Ensemble Pro). Samples are read from pci 6g ssd. Mac OS10.10.5 (on sata ssd) Protools 12.5.0 Mbox Pro 3 Mac Pro5,1 Mid2010 2x2.66Ghz -6-Core Intel Xeon Ram 64GB 1333Mhz DDR3 ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB My new Macpro 6,1 I'm ordering is this.(I can get any OS): 2.7GHz 12-Core 128GB Ram 1066MHz DDR3 Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPUs I heard PT 2019.5 & Mojave 10.14.5 combo is very stable a few times.. has to be that exact combo? Any advice can be helpful. Thank you!! |

Thanks JFreak!
PT2020's folder tracks function is very attractive. I saw a few people say 2019.5&10.14.4(or5) is the best so I guess that's the way to go.. I didn't find many posts about this topic surprisingly. |

Re: The most stable MacOs/PT combo now?
I am one of those people who have used almost any PT & OSX combination you can think of. And from my experience these are the most golden combinations:
PT 6.4.1 & OSX 10.3.4 PT 8.1.1 & OSX 10.6.8 PT 12.4 & OSX 10.9.5 PT 2019.5 & macOS 10.14.5 PT 2020.3 & macOS 10.15.4 Notice the big gap between PT12 and PT2019. That was the time when Apple ducked things up. |

haha true, PT is very fragile and moody.

Catalina and PT is NOT ready for a dance yet and with this snail pace of drip releases we are prolly looking at fall before they can love again. No Professionals working in serious studios has time to be ”adventurous” as ”someone” put it! |

And do you think 2020.3 is more stable than 2019.5~12 on Mojave? Thanks! |

And IMHO 2020.3 is More stable HERE but with all the different setups out there it is not set in stone it will work for everyone. All our Macs are for AUDIO only so that will have an impact aswell depending on what other apps you have and interface drivers etc. We run 4 of the new Apollo X Series and a HDX2 setup but almost never use the HDX2. So it all depends. Try 2019.6 and 2019.12 and see what works best for you but I would stay on Mojave and try 2020.3 first before the older versions. |
