Hey! How has the new mac mini been running? Looking at getting one to replace my workhorse of a Intel Mac Pro from 2008, but it was doing some strange stuff lately, and thought I'd upgrade before it was too late. |

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 |

Re: New Mac Mini released
Only the drummer showed up, so most of the session involved programming click tracks and line checks. My takeaways:
1. Low buffer size in Mojave is not right, still waiting on a fix. 44.1 @ 128 is golden. 2. I'm keeping my Central Station. Digital volume control (VRS-8) is not for me. 3. The "normal/dynamic" switch on the Slate SDCs feels shady. Hope they hold up. 4. The pres on the VRS-8s are very flat. The raw tracks were kind of a culture shock for me. Engaging the mic models and pres helped bring the tracks to life. The tracks took EQ very well (I instinctively reached for the "air" band on AirEQ). The Mac Mini has more than enough power to serve up any processing needed. 5. My brand-spanking-new Command|8 works flawlessly with Pro Tools 12.6. 6. I have a lot of analog gear to sell.

Re: New Mac Mini released
turning off hyperthreading on mac seems to solve that low buffer issue
