Default Playback Engine - No Cache Size option

Hey all,
I'm trying to increase cache size, but that option doesn't seem to be showing up when I'm in the Playback Engine window. See attached screen shot.

Pro Tools 11
Macbook Pro
macOS High Sierra
Processor: 2.5GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 16GB 1333MHz DDR3

Any thoughts as to why I don't see the Cache Size option in the Playback Engine window?

Didn't come to PT Native/Standard/Vanilla/Non-HD...whatever you want to call it until a version of 12. Unless you have PT HD 11, you are never going to see Disk Cache in 11. If you're getting an error about increasing your BUFFER size, then that has always been available.

Also keep in mind he's trying to run PT11 on a non-supported OSX.


That being said I'm running PT11.3.2 on OSX 10.12.6 (Sierra) and the only problem I've run into is the well-known issue of not being able to import audio via the drop down menu but you can import audio via drag and drop from Finder. There may be other issues with running PT11 in OSX's higher than 10.10.5 but I don't know what those are. It could be if he does indeed have PT11 HD that he's run into a compatibility issue.

To add to what The Weed said: Disk Cache was added to Pro Tools standard 12.2, prior to that it was a HD only feature introduced in Pro tools 10 HD.
