That is what I’m thinking of doing. I would replace the dvd drive with a mechanical hd for audio data.. Gord

Las t i looked avid still didn’t qualify SSD’s for audio drives. They are great as OS drives and for holding your sample libraries though. Also I assume you aren’t recording more than one track at a time and you don’t deal with massive projects with large track/plug in counts. This probably explains why you have no issues with running off the OS drive and for most people in a home studio that may work most times.

That's why I personally still won't do that. For that reason, SSD drives are great for an OS drive or operating system as you are not punishing them in the same way as you do an audio drive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: ptaccess@googlegroups.com [mailto:ptaccess@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Phil Muir Sent: 28 April 2016 06:46 To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: my control surface dilemma, a real drag Keep in mind though that SSD drives only have a limited amount of write cycles.

Or just to have a separate OS on each drive. On Apr 26, 2016, at 6:15 AM, Phil Muir <i...@accessibilitytraining.co.uk> wrote: Gord. You don’t need to remove the DVD drive. You may need to fit a larger hard drive and build a Mac installer. That’s easy enough to do using command line tools. Just use the bootcamp manager to partition the disk for you. Doing that here with my Samsung EVO 500GB drive in this mid 2012 15 inch MacBook Pro. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ptaccess@googlegroups.com [mailto:ptaccess@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Gordon Kent Sent: 26 April 2016 02:54 To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: my control surface dilemma, a real drag I might give this serious fault. My macbook pro is 4 years old now. If I ever get a newer mac, it will be a tower system, not a laptop. I could care less about the new features in el capitan. I would rather have pt working the way it should. Maverick solved some of the accessibility problems with pro tools not reading certain numeric values and the like. And apple still hasn’t made the midi studio accessible. If I removed the Dvd drive, I could put in a second HD and run boot camp to switch between the os’s if I wanted to.

I had problem with Yosemite and had to roll back. All of that stuff works well with the latest version of logic as well on those older operating systems. I am not going to upgrade myself out of house and home I have thisDAW Running well I am going to keep it that way. I have a nice quick hard drive in the old laptop I have my CD drive I have no interest in a newer Apple Computer.

If there is an issue that you need the newer update I understand but it may be cheaper and I know there is no learning curve there. I use my Presonus studio live for my console. It will not support El Capitan as well. I just bought a control surface and mackie MCU pro may not support it as well. I have heard that it did run with El Capitan. I am not going to take that chance. But all those surface issues you mentioned could be solved by abandoning El Capitan.

Back when I was running pt 10 with the older os’s mountain lion etc., I had it working great with my alesis master control audio interface/control surface. Now alesis is no longer supporting it with el capitan. I don’t think my m-audio project mix or the behringer bcf2000 will work either. Are we relegated to having to buy the Avid artist series surface? Would that be good enough or do we really need to spring for the s3.
