Info and strange issue

Raoul23 · Nov 24th 2017

About a month ago i changed over to a Mac Pro in my studio (best thing i ever did) my OS is Lion and i dont plan on upgrading this due to the fact ProTools 10HD isnt supported much after this. Ive installed the RM that is compatible with Lion but every time i use my 2 KPA's with this RM they are very Laggy when it comes to previewing rigs. My toaster KPA sometimes doesnt even react when i try to preview a rig. Both KPA's are on the same FW latest public beta.

Is this issue the fact that im using an old RM with the latest KPA FW? I hope not as RM in the studio and the ease of previewing rigs (when it works) is such a time saver.

Hope ive made sense

More than likely, I fear.

PS Pro Tools 10 Native is supported on Mountain Lion and Mavericks (I used to run the Native version here at work for a while). Are you sure that HD isn't supported?

we don't test old Rig Managers against recent Profiler OS versions. therefore your mileage might wary.

Whats strange is that one works fine but the other doesnt.

@sambrox Lion is 10.7.5, according to pro tools users 10.8.5 is highest, does latest RM work on that. Being new to Macs the OS numbers and names confuse me lol

10.8 is Mountain Lion and is kind of a watershed for a lot of software, as it was where Mac OS went fully all-in 64-bit (IIRC). Generally, most current software will run on 10.8, but you'll run into problems if you stick with 10.7 running the latest versions. Pro Tools HD is a bit of an anomaly, as it requires hardware to run. As you found though, PT10HD works on 10.8, so there shouldn't be any worries about updating, though if your hardware is compatible, I recommend PT11 for the offline bounce alone!

Thanks Sam I think I might buy another drive and put 10.8 on it and see which works best between 10.7.5 and 10.8
