Avid is awesome about backwards compatibility.Softonic review Start your recording journey for free I am never going to mix from this, its just for reference.I can only answer question #1. I guess ADAT, but not sure which unit will do this. what's the best way to get Audio out of the Mac mini into my UAD. I am never going to mix from this, its just for reference.Ģ. is PT10 ok to to deliver as a session if my clients have the latest or much newer version still ?Ģ. so my question ( or any advice welcome ) is.ġ. I now use the latest MacBook Pro ,logic and UAD. I have a project coming up while will need stems need to be delivered in a PT session so I was thinking about getting an old i7 Mac mini and using my Old PT10 auth ( I have 2 Iloks full of stuff as I used to run 2 x PT system back in the day)

and have fully lost touch with IO for old systems. I am trying to put together a simple Stem play back Protools Rig, which will slave to my Logic Rig and spot timestamp stems from Logic into this.įor may years I only ever use PT in fact 2 rig one for Stems the other for writing and know it inside and out, I moved to Logic a while ago and never looked back.

Hi All, slightly off topic but I also don't want to start yearly subscription for PT. Totally agree on the snappiest this combo provides that my other 5,1 Mac pro /Mojave with PT2020.5, they don't even compare, although cool new features on 2020, but recording raw is paramount to me.Ĭheers to "vintage" OS lol.I just purchased an iMac 10.8.5 and have Pro Tools 10.3.10 trying to find virtual instrument so I can do drum tracks nowhere to be found any suggestions what I could possibly do I still record with PT10.3.10/Mt.Lion, not even a hiccup. I think I'm going backwards lol.Ĭheers to "vintage" OS lol.I'm with you, old thread back to life. Out of nostalgia I'm going to record some stuff in that system as well. Windows XP with Protools M-power 7.3 It was fantastic hearing old sessions that sound just fine. I will NEVER upgrade protools higher than 12.4 ever ever ever ever.Īnd then from more kicks and more fun, I pulled my very old 2004 computer with. Upgraded the processor, RAM, SSD drive and it works just fine. And since I love upgrading computers and using old stuff that can still make great music, I started started setting it up as a back up with ML10.8.5 and PT10. (I have just a couple of plugins I use are not cross compatible).Īnd moreover, a friend gave me an old 2006 mac pro. I will use Mojave for fun, but for recording I will continue with PT10 with Mountain Lion and PT12 with Yosemite. Pro tools 12.4 actually works fine with Mojave, but there is just something about the response and stability with older OSx. I stayed there for ever until recently I gave the cool dark mode Mojave a chance. I started with Mountain Lion, then I upgraded to Pro tools 12.4 with Yosemite. I have a hackintosh I built back in 2013. It was all so stable and cozy with what I use that I felt in love with it again. For kicks and fun I went back to my good old Mountain Lion 10.8.5 install with Pro tools 10.3.10 about 2 weeks ago. Year old threat about old stuff, I like it.
