Actually, I forgot that the bcf2000 doesn’t
need drivers for mac, and should still work. Let’s hope so.

Subject: Re: my control surface dilemma, a real drag
I've been recording to an SSD for the past three years. No problems here, and I
Have recorded eight tracks at a time when recording multi track. This is
directly to the OS drive. ProTools has been snappy, and incredibly responsive.
Not only that, but I'm also playing sample libraries off of the exact same
drive. Not to mention, this is all on an antiquated 2009 MacBook Pro. When I
got into this whole SSD thing, Brian Smart told me a long time ago that due to
the speeds of SSD, I would no longer have to compartmentalize everything that
I'm doing. He has proven himself right. I have a secondary hard drive in this
laptop that is a 750 RPM spinning drive, and I actually noticed a performance
loss when recording to it. So, the SSD wins. As far as avid not approving SSDs,
I'm not sure what that's all about. All of the guys on ProTools expert swear by
solid-state drives, and Have said nothing about ProTools not working properly
with it.

Agreed re using SSD for recording drives. 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.

Let’s try that again. Keep in mind though that SSD drives only have a
limited amount of write cycles. 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.

Just upgrade to an ssd. Pro tools does not require 2 drives. It's just best
practice with spinning drives. I record to my Samsung ssd with no problems on a
2009 m b p running elcap.

The advantage of removing the DVD drive is so you can have two internal
Hard drives. this can come in handy when traveling as Pro tools usually
requires you to record to an separate HD than your system drive and that way
you have two drives internally and won’t have to bring an external USB or etc
drive. Or just to have a separate OS on each drive.

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.

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 am running ProTools 12 and Mavericks. 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.

Hi Gordon I believe if you took your laptop in and have it rolled
back to Mavericks or Yosemite your problem would be solved. 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.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve used pro
tools. 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.
