PT 12.6 HD working like a champ on Sierra plus another observation about CPU
Ok some on my observations although more gut feeling right now...
1.) Downloaded and installed the new 12.6 HD Driver on Mac OS El Capitan
2.) Carbon Copy Cloned my boot drive to another drive for safety
3.) Installed macOS Sierra and ran PT 12.6 HD.
Observations:
1.) On a medium session, changing H/W Buffer Size to 64 Samples produced some CPU spikes until I changed the Disk Playback Cache Size from Normal to 40 GB (I have 64GB installed). After that I'm noticing significant performance improvement even on intensive plugins.
2.) Meters seem snappier visually to me.
3.) Core Audio to allow other apps to play/record audio through my HD hardware still not working.
Overall, worth it IMHO.
