2021.6 and High Sierra

[subwoof]

High Sierra is not listed in Avid's requirements for 2021.6, but 10.14 is.. Anyone having success with OS 10.13.6 and a cheese grater?

Works fine on two systems.

Works fine on Mac Pro 6.1 too

Always remember that "working" and "supported" are two different things so your mileage may vary

Thanks for the replies. I'll give it a shot.

HS and Mac Pro 5,1 working ok for me so far.

same here. in fact it's awesome.
CPU core load balancing seems way better distribution across the 24 displayed core threads, rather than that old peak around core thread #12

my 5,1 3.46GHz 12-core is barely ticking over with 5 layers of plugin slots full across 24 tracks, processing audio all the time. 8% total CPU usage.

I know we're a critical bunch here (myself especially) pointing out more and more details of things that need to be addressed, but seriously - Avid has knocked it out the park with this update.

Same machine here in my mix room. Thank you!!!!!!! I can't believe this 5.1 is over a decade old and still making me money. Lmao.

Have you tried using CPUSetter? I've heard some MP 12 core users with PT, had better performance disabling hyperthreading and using only physical cores.

2021.6 and High Sierra working just fine on the 2012 cheesegrater in my profile. Able to run lower buffers with this update. No gui problems like some on supported systems are reporting.
