Re: Anyone running 2021 on old cheesegraters?
Well, this is a fun way to start my HDX adventure. Doing stuff around the studio and listening to some high-res 96K masters from a Pro Tools session. Very basic 96K session with only a few tracks. Nothing else going on in the computer, no firewire, no external drives of any sort. Only "extra" thing is that I am connected via Ethernet cable networked my old PT 10 HD Accel Mac. But PT and the session files are running off my brand new, mostly empty SSD drive in a SATA bay. Couple minutes into listening I get an AEA -9073 error and playback just stops. This is the kind crap I was so nervous about when thinking about doing a big "upgrade".
Screenprint attached. Don't suppose there's an easy fix/answer to this one...? |

Re: Anyone running 2021 on old cheesegraters?
I'm not sure what the problem might be, but you could try turning on Disk Cache in the Playback Engine settings. Sett it anything above Normal; usually best to set it to an amount just above the amount of audio data in your session. this will load up all of the timeline audio into RAM and free up disk bandwidth.

1 - Absolutely use the Disk Cache, as ScottG suggested. 2 - If the SSD is in one of the sleds in those older Mac Pros, you are not getting full speed from it. The bandwidth on those SATA channels is only max 300MB/second. You can get double that, full-speed (max 600MB/second) by mounting the SSD on a PCI card (Sonnet and OWC make them). If you got clever and put the SSD in the spare (or main) optical bay, you'll only be getting max 180MB/second.

Re: Anyone running 2021 on old cheesegraters?
Thanks, yeah, I was thinking of pulling the trigger on one of those OWC 1M2 PCIe drives, which I think I will do now...

Re: Anyone running 2021 on old cheesegraters?
I'm not sure what that is? You referring to the graphics card? I'm open to exploring things with that. I definitely having some weird issues since moving to Mojave and installing this (non Apple-flashed) MSI Radeon 560. I turned off all screen saver functions. Screen was black this morning, had to force reboot. Blurry snow screen at one point, force reboot. But that was before I turned off screensaver. Energy Saver been disabled all along...
Things seemed super stable while I was working on a High Sierra drive before getting Mojave going the other day. Does being in Mojave provide tangible advantages to being in High Sierra relative to running Pro Tools? Just curious... I actually just ordered an Nvidia GPU, flashed for Mac, the other day, that I am going to try. On my third GPU. The first one I ordered turned out to require two PCIe power connections, and with the HDX card using one that threw me for a loop. It's been a journey. Definitely going to have some stuff to put back up on eBay at the end of this... |

I've got a 2010 MacPro 5,1 (see sig for specs) running Mojave/PT 2021.3.1 with no issues.

Nice off the wall.
Yeah I got it running smooth here as well. Installed Open Core and now I'm able to boot into Mt Lion so I can use ancient plugins to process then back into 2020.3.1 RX580 with video acceleration is sweet too.

Re: Anyone running 2021 on old cheesegraters?
Just doing a bit of reading about OpenCore, which I'd never heard of. What does it get me, from a Pro Tools point of view? Seems I might be able to get a boot screen, even without a flashed GPU, am I getting that right? Does it mean I can take my old PT 10 HD internal drive from my 2009 4,1 Mac Pro and pop into the 2009 5,1 I've flashed for HDX?
One other weird thing I've noticed -- in Pro Tools 20201.3.1 and Mojave, when I browse to open session files or import audio, I can't double-click in the file browser to open folders. I have to click the arrow to the left to open the folder, and then cascade the open folders, I can't go into them. Not a show stopper, but kind of annoying. Is this just a Pro Tools thing? |
