Re: Mac Pro Question
FYI I'm running Catalina on a 4,1 Mac Pro, firmware updated to 5,1, upgraded to 2x12 core X5690 processors and Radeon RX580 video card, and it is solid as a rock. I expect to get several more years out of this machine.

Re: Mac Pro Question
Great. What instructions did you follow to get Catalina on the 5,1?

The guy that creates these patches is doing a huge service to the Mac community. I’ve successfully installed High Sierra, and now Catalina on my 2009 Mac Pro using his patches. There are a couple caveats - you have to update your firmware, you have to install a Metal graphics card (which often means you lose your boot-up screen - not a big deal to me), and SIP has to essentially remain disabled on your system. It’s not a *super* simple process, but not terribly complicated either. And having upgraded the processors and video card (total ~$500) my machine just got about 40% faster, and like I said I think will keep working well for quite awhile still. |

You can run all your processor hungry reverb plugs on HDX (if you have Avid Revibe, Space, or Reverb One) and save yourself a lot of processing power for native plugs. Also, Mcdsp Channel G is a good front end AAX plug for PT. Its a little dated but will do the job. |
