3-ghosting/cloning works well for VERY SIMILAR hardware, but cloning from a Mac Pro tower to any current Mac model is a recipe for failure.
On a good note, chances are very good that the 003 will continue to work, even if you have to upgrade Pro Tools to the current version(lots of 003 users running PT 12.x) The bad side of that is that all your current RTAS and AAX32 plugins will need to be updated to the current AAX64 format(some will be free, but others will be paid updates). Having said that, I have never regretted moving to full 64 bit software as the increased performance is worth it(to me)  |
Hi Albee, I will still keep OS X on the new machine. This way I can still keep my version of PT10. I was using the i5 as a reference or example. I will be staying with a Mac though. I still use stock plug ins or ones I have been able to download.
