Default Re: Apple iMac Pro 8-core or 10-core for PT 2019?

Hello,

I am currently using the iMac Pro 8 core with Pro Tools 2018.12 and SUPER heavy on plugins you can check my list here:

Honestly, I was a fan of always updating the OS to the latest one and running into bugs back since 2001 ....

It's the first time I am running a super stable System knock on wood but thin is I am running High Sierra 10.13.6 and I will never ever update ?

Think again ... why would you wanna update to Mojave ?

In my compositions I make heavy use of U-He Diva, Soundtoys, izotope and Omnisphere and I am facing a lot of CPU-overload errors (not surprisingly). Most of the time i freeze or commit the tracks, although, the fan of my imac is regularly running wild (around 2400 rpm). This is annoying.

My idea is to do a major change soon and switch to an imac pro 10-core with 64 gb ram. Despite the fact that pro tools does not officially support mojave yet, is there anyone using such an imac, atm with another daw and willing to share his experiences? what do you suggest, 10-core or 8-core?

Thanks.

Regards
