RE: PT 11 and M1 Mac mini question

[nelsonmay]

I am doing some searching and can't get a solid answer? Sorry if I missed something, but can you guys help me out? I thought I would ask you guys straight up.

I have a 2020 Mac min M1 that is maxed out. Since I am not billing in audio any longer I haven't upgraded since PT 11. I have been seeing some threads where PT is running on an M1, but they are hard to verify.

I want to try something. Since I have a 1TB drive, can I partition and downgrade to a previous osx and can it run PT 11? I think I can only downgrade to Catalina?

I just like having PT around in case I have to go into a private project.

Is it worth trying or should I not waste my time.

Double-posting like you just did is against the rules, and quite annoying when people start to discuss the same thing in two places.

No. There is no way you can run PT11 on your M1 mac. Macs nowadays can't run older versions of MacOS than they were originally designed for.

Your only option is to get a subscription, monthly or yearly, or buy a permanent license for the current version. But I promise; you'll love the PT performance on M1, even if it's not 'native' yet. If you just need it occationnally, monthly subscription might not be a bad idea.
