Pro Tools Compatibility with macOS 13 Ventura
I am contemplating buying the new Mac Studio and it will be coming with the OS 13 Ventura. I just want to make sure it will be compatible with my Pro Tools 2022.6 OS. I have read that Avid hasn't yet acknowledged it's compatibility but I have read that some beta testing has shown that there are no issues. Does anyone have a definitive answer before I send a couple grand?
Thank you in advance, Newcens |

You will be able to downgrade the Mac Studio to Monterey, since that's the OS that was current when it was released. I don't know about Ventura compatibility, but just wanted to let you know that you should be safe either way.

Thank you. Any information is good information. So you can downgrade the Mac Studio to a older OS. That I didn't know.

Having said that, I am running Protools Studio 2022.10 on a Mac Studio (M1Max) running Ventura (macOS 13) in a test system and have not had any OS related issues so far. You should consider upgrading Protools to the latest version as there are bug fixes and better compatibility with Apple Silicon (however, still running on Rosetta 2 instead of native).

My guess it is solid either way depending on your needs with your setup. Mine are in Dolby ATMOS here, so can't really risk any problems. G

Re: Pro Tools Compatibility with macOS 13 Ventura
This first thing I'd do with that new Mac is downgrade to the latest Monterey, then start installing. I know Ventura is working for people in many ways but I've seen a list of audio-related apps/plugins that do NOT work and it's enough to keep douse my urge to update. 12.6.1 has been rock solid so no reason to rock the boat anyway.

Re: Pro Tools Compatibility with macOS 13 Ventura
In short; you must find and download a monterey installer (doesn't have to be the very latest, you can upgrade it later), and with that create a so-called 'USB installer' by writing the .dmg to a USB stick, drive, or partition - then you boot from it and install the OS on a drive or partition, erasing the drive in the process. People will correct me if I'm wrong or forgot something - but that's the basics.

Re: Pro Tools Compatibility with macOS 13 Ventura
I have a pal who got his Mac Studio Ultra at exactly the same time as I did, but a bit later and it shipped with Ventura. He has had only a few issues that he said is hardly worth worrying about. Seems to be solid for him.
