Pro Tool HD 10.3.8
Hi there
This question is two fold. A. I am currently running PT HD 10.3.8 on a 2012 Mac Pro. What is the latest OS that is stable? I am currently running into issues with Mail and Firefox on OS 10.8.5. B. I am always concerned that the CPU will art some point crap out. I was going to buy a refurbished 2012 Mac Pro with 64 Gigs of ram and downgrade the OS to one that would work with my current licensed PT software as as a backup. Your thoughts please, based on the fact that this version of PT and plugins does everything I need it to do and more? |

HD3|accel and blue interfaces. Onlybissue is that uninstaller is not working, but then again that in itself is a non-issue because PT10 is not getting any updates

Re: Pro Tool HD 10.3.8
Thanks again. Are you using this for Post or Music. If Post, are you running video?
I use this machine primarily for editing multiple TV series. Can’t afford any instability issues at this point. Maybe I will purchase a second 2012 MP and this time a 12 core with 64GB Ram. Have that as a backup. Wonder if I can get Mountain Lion for it and still download the the PT version 10.3.8 installer that I own? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Live FOH mainly, sometimes post with a reference track (without realtime sync)

Re: Pro Tool HD 10.3.8
This sounds like a wonderful idea. How would I switch screens. Mine are DVI?
Thank you so much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have two displays; one large TV and a 32" calibrated monitor. My mac mini is connected to both and works with PT2020 and everything else. Then I have an old Mac pro 3,1 that I hardly ever use, connected to the 32". It's a couple of clicks on the screen to change inputs, and I can see the old mac on the 32". This also means that the 3,1 is configured to do PT10 only, and this helps with stability also. You could have a Mini, like me, or it could be one of the apple laptops. Anyway I think the latest M1 macs are one of the best value for money I've ever seen in apple products. I don't know about DVI, and if you could use an adapter. But the screen should of course have more than one input. Anyway, screens are cheap, at least they can be.

But yes, once we wait three years and software is okay, this is still looking good.
