The new Mini has been running like a champ! Silent and powerful. I've produced a couple of demos on it so far: SSD5, a few tracks of Amplitube 4, vocals. No issues for me at 44.1/24 with a buffer size of 64 on Mojave as long as I'm not flinging plugin GUIs around. CPU meter is going nuts, but no AAE errors! Raising the buffer size to 128 and above quiets the CPU meter down from bucking bronco to whispering baby.

I'll be using the Mini with the two VRS-8s to track a full rock band tomorrow evening...I'll post as soon as the hangover wears off.

Here is a link to Avid's warning about Mojave and low buffer sizes; let's hope for a fix soon: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...BkZ0sifQ%3D%3D
