Best Mac OS X for PT11
Just picked up an older plastic Macbook for a song and figured it could come in handy as an extra/utility machine for mobile editing, 1-2 track overdub recording, etc.
It's a Mid 2009 (2.13 Intel C2D) I paid $90 for in good shape. Put in an extra SSD I already had and maxed the RAM (4gigs) and it's a snappy little unit (currently running El Capitan.) I don't have any plans to update to PT 12 (or beyond) anytime soon, so I just want to put the quickest/most stable version of the operating system for version 11. My options seem to be 10.8, 10.9 or 10.10 to have a 'supported' system. Thoughts? |

Re: Best Mac OS X for PT11
I'm in a similar boat with PT 11. I'm having a hard time staying on 10.8.5 and not updating. I do have access to 10.9, 10.10 and 10.11. Looking at my system, should I still stay with ML?
Thank you, Mac Pro 5,1 (Mid-2011) Quad-Core 2.8 Ghz OS 10.8.5 MBox Pro 2 PT 11.3.1 HD / 10.3.9 16 GB RAM |

PT11.3.1 work fine in either OSX 10.8.5 or OSX 10.9.5 for me. What can be a tipping is if an audio interface needs OSX 10.9.5 or later; the latest Apogee and UAD interfaces are that way. |
