Re: running protools v8.05 on mac os 10.95
There is no compatibility for Pro Tools v8.x beyond Mac OS X v10.6.8. You really should have Pro Tools v11.3.1 (or later) for use with Mac OS X v10.9.5.

If you really need to upgrade your OSX you also need to upgrade your Pro Tools unfortunately.
Mac OSX 10.6.8 was the latest version of OSX LE8.0.5 was compatible with. You may scroll down a bit to check it out. http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...ility/en353149 So if you go this route, you really may hurry up to get this one http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PT11LEup-e Officially these upgrade options have gone already by 1-1-2016 (you won´t find anything like this in the official Avid store anymore) but it seems that some retailers still have left overs. If you cannot get one of those left overs, you will get no upgrade option anymore but will have to buy the full, current version of Pro Tools 12 which will be $599.-! http://shop.avid.com/ccrz__ProductDe...alUser=&store= http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PTSoft-e Make sure your computer will have 8GB Ram at least and a fast enough OS drive (7200rpm HDD at least, SSDs preferred) when installing PT12 on your system. Further do not forget to set up all the optimization stuff. http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...oting/en367983 Btw if you will use a lot of VIs in the future, 16GB Ram will be the even better choice finally. All the best to you! |

Or if you like flying by the seat of your pants and don't care about whether your configuration is 'approved' you can always clone the drive and try it.
On a second machine I am running Pro Tools HD 8.0.5 on 10.9.5. I don't use it to heavily but haven't seen any show stoppers. Granted it's not my main rig but it *can* work.
