Re: Best Mac OS for PT2018 HDX ?
This isn't an answer I'm afraid as I'm looking for a similar answer!
I'm currently running 10.13.6 with Pro Tools Ultimate 2018.12 and I'm having GUI lag (a known bug). I'm about to install a PCIe M2 SSD boot drive and I'm going to back to 10.12.6 and will report back.

This I belive is down to an uprgaded graphics card that supports Metal and I changed from my old Apple 27" LED Display on Mini Display Port to a full HD screen on HDMI. Don't ask me why but the screen running via HDMI got rid of my GUI lag and (what I thought) were unrelated dropouts during playback. What are your current system specs?

My system:
Mac Pro 5,1 (Mid 2012) ATI Radeon HD 5770 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 2 x 3.46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon Sierra 10.12.6 (16G29) Avid 16x16 HD I/O Pro Tools Ultimate 2018.12 HDX1 UAD Octo UAD Quad System Drive: Samsung SSD 850 PRO 1TB Record Drive: WDC WD1001FALS-00J7B0 (1T rotational SATA) I did settle on Sierra for now, seemed the safest. |
