Re: 10.13.6 with 2018.7 ... best version ever!? Holy Sssh
OP, fantastic news, thank you.
I did receive an email from Avid support saying the high sierra issues were fixed in 2018.7, so there you go. I literally just received that :)

Re: 10.13.6 with 2018.7 ... best version ever!? Holy Sssh
well guys... I'm so excited
after the test I mentioned, I finally clean installed my MacBook and wow... running on SSD with a clean install and using APFS partition (the one before was still Extended Journaled because it was installed on an hard drive)... well wow cpu is even lower... never goes over 48% in all the project (while before had spikes around 55 and with sierra or the other high sierra versions I tried, it went to 60 and even 65% in some cases)... and: I CAN PLAY IT WITH BUFFER AT 64!! after 20 minutes of playing the mix stopping jumping around the project (I did all this quite fast to stress everything even more) and feeling like it was hardware... well I got a CPU error, but man, it was very well usable... and the CPU never went over 48% even there... (except for the spike)... and at 128 was like playing at 256 in the other tests the other big difference between the tests I've done on the external HD and now is that before I hadn't 4 instances of Lexicon PCM working because I hadn't installed the plug in, now I have them working and the CPU has never been so low... also engaging and disengaging them takes like 1% of cpu... Now, let's give you some reference so you understand why I'm so excited... Pro Tools 10, one instance of Lexicon PCM was like 3/4% of CPU This project in Pro Tools 10 was around 60% all the time going up to 80% with spikes sometimes, using it with buffer at 2048... here and there in a day of work I could get like 10 CPU spikes error Pro Tools 2018.7 on High Sierra 10.13.6, 4 instances of Lexicon PCM are 1% but maybe not, I mean, you don't see the change except when you initiate them... This project runs around 30% all the time... and sometimes goes up max to 48, other times goes as low as 17/20% PLAYING IT WITH BUFFER AT 64! Probably I'm feeling all this change because both Mavericks and Pro Tools 10 couldn't use efficiently the power of my mac... and now I've jumped in probably the most optimized OS/PT combo xD (but hey... the PT 10 and Mavericks combo I had, was perfectly optimized in itself, I mean, it worked better than pt 9 and 8 in my old mac pro, which was already super stable, so I'm not saying before it sucked, I'm just saying it wasn't optimized for my mac... in the end, I kept PT 10 just because it was a period of big changes both from Avid and Apple, now I felt it was a good time to do it and seems I was actually right xD) WOW Seems I just bought a new computer for free xD Last edited by Mattian; 09-03-2018 at 08:31 PM. |

Re: 10.13.6 with 2018.7 ... best version ever!? Holy Sssh
OS 10.13.4 has been a glitchy nightmare for both 2018.4 and 2018.7. After seeing enough folks here willing to take the plunge with 10.13.6, I installed it tonight. VOILA! GLITCHES GONE! Buffer 32 works fine at 48K/24. I had to use 128 before to be stable. Hey Avid, send out an advisory! I shouldn't have to find out by cruising the DUC.
10.13.6 WORKS. |

Re: 10.13.6 with 2018.7 ... best version ever!? Holy Sssh
I'm currently setting up my new MBP (15", Touch Bar, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i9, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) with 10.13.6 and 2018.7 PT vanilla and all seems good except that it stops for 40 seconds when the Setting up MIDI message appears. The rest of the setup whizzes past, just the Setting up MIDI part. And that's with either no MIDI devices attached or my Kronos (via USB).
