artist mix + digital performer = meters problem

[zejuju]

But I believe that I cannot install a previous system on a mac now am I right?

or maybe upgrade to Sierra 10.12 will solve that (dream on)?

Depend on what OSX version was on the machine to begin with.

as I bought my imac less than 1 year, I guess ot was 10.11 pre-install...
I can't find if anyone got problems using avid artist + capitan, regardless DAW

Everything with El Capitan in it is crap basically so if you have the 10.11.X installed then no one here will be surprised. That OS is plagued with issues with PT and hardware from Avid, the two really can't get along and so updating to macOS Sierra would probably solve your issues. All IMNSHO of course

[zejuju]

ok... Never rade that kind of truth from avid, motu, etc...
May be i'll take the risk to upgrade to Sierra... Tired of computer's world

When you did the upgrade did you do an in-situ where you installed right over the top of your existing OSX? That's not a good thing. In either case did you do a clean install of all your programs or did you use Migration Assassin? The latter is also not a good thing. To get a good working install you need to install the new OSX on a clean system drive (or partition of your existing drive) and install everything from scratch. Only use MA or Time Machine to bring data over - nothing more.

No I did the upgrade from the appstore, I thought that was the cleanest way to do it...Am I wrong?
I don't have any partition on my internal HD (ssd/hd). I don't figure out to do what you describe. Seems to be a hard work, reinstall everything, plugins etc... just for my artit mix to work properly...
May be better to get back to Capitan via my time machine savings, or find a yosemite system (which obviously works as I seen with my friends).

What you did was an in-situ upgrade and that is NEVER the way to do an OSX upgrade. It may be the easy way but not the right nor cleanest way. Always do an OSX upgrade like I mentioned. Yes it's hard work to reinstall everything from scratch but the only way to get a functioning system. Doing what you did or even if you do a clean install and use Migration Assassin (Migration Assistant) to bring programs over is not a good way to go. If you do things right from the beginning and take your time doing it you only have to do it once and no waste time doing cleanup work. And ALWAYS have a clone of a working system drive for insurance and the ability to go back to a working system when things go sour.

Partitioning a hard drive is easy as all the instructions are provided via the help function in OSX disk utility.

ElCrapitan is the worst OSX version for audio recording compatibility. Either go above or below it.
