PT12 and up has a user specified ram cache which if you're on an old system with a spinner system drive but have a lot of ram will speed things up immensely. 64 bit versus 32 bit for one - bigger address space. There's plenty of differences between PT10 and and any modern version of PT. There's many reason it goes by that nickname. Let me start by saying that El Crapitan is probably the worst OSX ever. So, what I'd like to find is which is the best version of PT and OSX I should use to not notice any speed and stability difference between PT10 or PT12/2018 When I upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan I noticed a huge improvement (but I'm talking only about internet and everyday use, I have a partition I use only for internet and stuff) and I'm still not sure if high sierra is at el capitan level (on an everyday use) My MBP had Yosemite when it came out (actually was refurbished so I discovered I could install Mavericks, so I installed it and used PT10 since now) so I'm wondering if I'll be starting noticing some speed and stability impact there yeah, problem here and there, but except certain versions with certain os version, I never got any problem of stabilityīut, considering I have a Mac Book Pro mid 2014 (quad core i7 2.2ghz), I was wondering which would be the best version for my computer (I've noticed some of just a year before can't already go past 2018.4. which has been rock solidįrom a certain point of view I'm not too worried because, following Avid suggestions, I've always had pro tools rock solid since version 8. so hold your nose and pay $$$ for as much SSD as you can now.I'm on the verge of upgrading PT 10. I think the 27" iMacs have M.2 "like" SSDs cards but they are Apple proprietary and I don't know if third parties have upgrades yet, but even if they do it's a total PITA to open up the iMacs. If the CPU, SSD and/or DRAM is soldered to the motherboard then it's impossible to upgrade, most things on the iMacs is at least a PITA to upgrade if its doable at all, the 27" iMac do have user accessible DRAM for easy upgrades, the 21.5" do not. but that's my bias for a high end systems, may have no relevance to you.ĭepending on what computer you should be careful about understanding what is upgradable easily, upgradable but a PITA, or not upgradeable at all. personally if there was any chance of staying on the MBP I'd do that and look out for a new Mac Pro next year (as others also mentioned here). What exact configuration MBP do you have now? Model/EMC #? CPU? Disk? Memory? You may have options of just upgrading that and running 2018.10 there today. You'll need an Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Firewire adapter dongle, or a third party dock with Firewire, like the OWC Thunderbolt III dock.Īnd you may not need to be doing everything at once. memory well, no, you need lots more than with 10. That's a predictor of CPU needs, disk space needs, etc. Your best crude guide for your to start at is your understanding how your current sessions are running on the hardware you have. It's not our money and we have *no* clue what your financial tradeoffs are. Ideally get a computer with an i7 or i9 CPU and fastest graphics you can afford.Īnswers here are likely to end up in "max out the systems". Repatriate your current HDD for backup drives or bookends. Ancient rules about dedicated audio drives do not apply to these super-fast NVMe internal SSDs, and your system will run *worse* with slow dedicated drives. Unless you need huge disk space for samples, stick them on that boot drive as well. That is much better performance than any HDD, and most other SSD you can get. Ideally you can put audio/session on that boot drive. Don't get a hybrid drive (as already mentioned). Get the largest internal SSD you can afford. Folks have already given you basic recommendations.
