![]() We could not even get the tracks into record mode. I wonder what the difference is between your situation and my school's? Maybe a decimal point here and there in the OS version or PT version? If I could have gotten it to work as is, I sure would have.Ī client of mine who is (finally getting around to) setting up his own PT system came in with his "old" PT 11 and his "new" upgraded laptop. These exact same errors were happening on all the machines. How are the students going to create a project? Simple commands would freeze the program. For example, the import audio dialog did not work at all. All sorts of weird things would happen and many expected things would not happen. It opened - without any warning messages, but I could not even finish my first day's lesson. Same thing as you, but far from a "champ". When I returned from summer to find our lab upgraded to High Sierra, Pro Tools 11 was trashed. So you could do this just don't hold my feet to the fire.That's interesting. I got the trashcan ready to roll it to yosemite if it did not work but so far, im coming up to 11 months with High sierra running PT11 and i've had very little issues, and that can be from 3rd party plugins. I took a risk building a trashcan Macpro with High Sierra and so far, PT11 has been a champ. Fortunately I have another computer that I can keep more up to date for other non-Pro Tools stuff.ġ) I am quite happy with PT as my DAW, andĢ) most of my work comes in as PT session files, andģ) I hate learning new software. The catch there is that I must never upgrade the OS on the Studio computer. Let's face it, any version of Pro Tools can record, edit and mix. ![]() I did the math and for me, I figured that my work is mostly traditional enough that I could 'stick' with a perpetual license for longer than the calculated "break even" point of accumulated subscription fees. The downside of any perpetual license is that if you want to upgrade, it's full price. And since they do, what's it to you that they offer a subscription? It's like you want to deprive other people of something that they might want, even though you are NOT forced to "have what they are having". ![]() If they wish to continue this subscription model of business then I will not do anything with them ever again.īut they do offer the perpetual license. Many of them are supposedly full of viruses and malware and whatnot. Then you have to reinstall Pro Tools.ĭo be wary of sketchy places online that have unofficial 'bootleg' copies of the installers. If you are mac-savvy, you could do it yourself once you find the installers. A good mac tech can probably wipe your machine and reinstall whatever OS, and he or she probably already has the installers. If you don't need any of your Mojave software, then you don't even need the dual-boot thing. Wiping everything happens at the end of the semester anyway. do whatever it is to make the options come up when you hold down the shift key while startingīeing in a lab, there was no personal data to back up. reinstall Pro Tools and reinstall the video software on the respective partitionsĤ. install both OS's on separate partitionsģ. My students boot the machine in Mavericks, and the video students boot the machines in High Sierra.Ģ. The solution was that they came in and wiped all the machines and made them dual-boot. God forbid the budget gets "a little tight" one year. The college did not want to buy me 16 new copies of the new version of Pro Tools and I did not trust them to keep up a subscription every year without exception. The computer staff was frankly flabbergasted at how convoluted and specific the Compatibility thing is for Pro Tools. Their upgrade had broken the compatibility. Everyone was raising their hand! In the end, I could not teach my lesson. ![]() I came in in September and our copies of Pro Tools at first seemed to kind of work, but then certain things would freeze and the deeper I went, the more it acted like it was "haunted". This pushed the OS beyond the Compatibility of our (purchased) version of PT. You may indeed have to wipe the machine and lose stuff on your current Mojave setup to get there, I don't know.Īt the college where I teach, "they" decided that all the machines in the lab should be upgraded to make them work for some new video software that the video classes wanted. I was able to sweet talk the Apple support lady to send me an install disk for an "old" OS for one machine I needed to roll backwards. Mac is stingy with their installers, but they do exist. Help!ĭowngrading your OS is almost impossible, but it is not completely impossible. Is there any solution or help anyone can give me? It looks like “downgrading” my OS is almost impossible with Mojave and I’m NOT going subscription based on pro tools. ![]()
