Mac Mini Late 2012 with Mavericks OSX

[emiloia]

Hello guys. I recently bought a mac mini and it came with OSX Mavericks. What would be the most suitable version on pro tools to work with?
I also owned a DIGI 002 Rack. Does anyone prove it with mavericks?
Thanks a lot.

I say go with PT 11. I'm on a late 2012 iMac with a 003 Rack. I just upgraded to Mavericks. No issues.
Not sure about 002 but I believe that will work. Others will chime in.

Only version supported with Mavericks is the PT11 (latest version is 11.1.2 and works great here with 10.9.2).

I also use a Mini 2012 i7 Quad with Mavericks 10.9.2 and Pro Tools 11.1.2 and
I´m happy to say it works flawlessly here.

Maybe you should check out/consider getting a fast OS drive
(HD 7200rpm or even better a SSD-256GB will be space enough)
if you haven´t ordered it with such one anyway
as this improves the overall performance a lot (the original HD is only 5400rpm).

Anyway, regarding the Digi002 you may have a look there:

It seems, though some people are struggling getting it to work with PT11,
others definitely already have got it work well with the latest 003 drivers.
So it seems to be right possible.

This link (drivers) is posted in the thread anyway but here once again:

Wishing you the best, much success,

You can. That's precisely what I did.

Re the 7200 RPM drive; can you order the Mini with that from the store, or do you have to do the modification "privately"?

Thanx!

Hi, as far as I could see in the Apple Online Store it is not possible to order it
with a 7200rpm HD.
However you could order it with a 256GB SSD for 200.-+.

Btw as far as I have experienced Fusion Drives are not really recommended for the use with Pro Tools 11.
It may be working better with one single fast OS drive
and one or more additional external FW800 or Thunderbolt-drives with at least 7200rpm.

All the best, VRW
