Upgrading setup from Pro Tools 8 to 12
Hi everyone, I'm planning on buying the PT12 upgrade from LE here. I'm running my current setup through a 2009 Core Duo iMac, but I want to setup PT12 on my 2015 Macbook Pro (2.2GHz i7, 16GB RAM, quad core). Is this laptop going to run well with my Mbox 3 Pro assuming I buy the FW adapter? Also, I am using a FW ext hd, would i be better off these days finding a new thunderbolt drive / usb3 etc? I admit I am skeptical that daisy chaining my hd and Mbox through a conversion cable will work very well. Thanks in advance

The Thunderbolt firewire adapter works at least as well as firewire did on a motherboard. USB 3 is more than fast enough and I'd look for it to be supported a lot longer than firewire.

Thanks for the quick reply. USB3 sounds great to me too, I'd like to keep with something more portable instead of my FW hd. I do have a USB3 dongle, but are any portable drives nowadays sufficient as an external hd?

get the TB>FW adapter to have for when you need it
if you are not going to be moving around a Dock like his is nice to have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815108024 Run your mBP3 until you find something else you like
