Default System Requirements

Hallo,
I just bought a Mac Book Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020), 8Gb ram, 256Gb SSD, actual OS version is Monterey but I have Big Sur too.
I would know which version of Pro Tools could I install it on.
Thanks in advance to everyone.
Raf

Hi, welcome to the community.

Compatibility info here. Sorry to say but there is no Apple Silicon native PT software yet, so whatever you use will likely have some kind of random problems.

Hallo,
thanks you for welcoming me.
I have a doubt about the RAM's capacity, which is 8Gb, installed on my Macbook.
Could any version of Pro Tools work on it? Which one?
Kind regards,
Raf

Minimum recommendation is 16GB but you should be able to run basic sessions with 8GB

Hi Janne,
do you mean basic session in terms of channels? Maximum 64? Or am I wrong?

Your mileage may vary.

On my Monterey system memory use is 7GB without running PT software, so at least you may have difficulties to instantiate any virtual instruments.

On my Macbook Air M1 with 8 GB of Ram i run every Version from 2020-12 to 2021-10 without problems on Big Sur. If you change to Monterey you may get trouble with various plugins and/or Pro Tools itself. The 8 GB Memory haven't been an issue until the last version, which is somehow more hungry on Ram with the same sessions. You can get through this with freezing or render-in place of your VI Tracks and Audio Tracks with non optimized Plugins like Amplitude 5.

If you just go for mixing / mastering just use higher settings and you should be fine even with higher track counts.

best

Monterey is a disaster currently. Severe memory leaks. Need to force quit apps and reboot frequently. Hopefully 12.1 is right around the corner.
