Re: Who else is still using a Mac Pro 5,1 or older computer?
Quote:
I decided to make the move once I saw PT and many AAX plugin manufacturers go to Apple silicon native. My plan is to only run PT in apple silicon mode on this machine. I have become used to some Plugin Alliance plugins that aren't there yet but I have 80% of what I need. I have not done an apples to apples comparison yet but I will when I swap this into my setup. So far I find the Studio to be a solid performer. With all new installs I haven't gotten any errors yet. I built a VI session with 10 instruments from Arturia, Kontakt 7, Superior Drummer 3 and Avid. Then I layered on some vocals and guitar tracks. All tracks have at least Fabfilter ProQ3, C2 and Saturn. I added a Master Track with buss processing and a single reverb send. So nothing crazy but something workable for a singer/songwriter. Its running at 32 buffer with PT meters peaking around 30. According to my activity monitor for the mac my CPU is 77% idle. No pressure on the RAM at all. I hope that helps. I need to finish a project and then I'll go for the swap and add my HDX card into the mix. The key here for stability is all fresh installs. No migration of any files whatsoever. Edit- I forgot to mention, I'm using and EVO 4 interface from Audient. C

I am rebuilding them. I may be going too far but I want this as clean as possible.
