PT 10 with HD 3 Accel Cards

[kptkarl]

For a MP 1,1 I would suggest OS 10.6.8 aka Snow Leopard and PT 10.2. At least 16GB of memory.

Thanks. I don`t have that amount of ram. just 6G...

I am in a similar boat. I have a rock solid PT HD3, PT8, MacPro, D-Command and am considering upgrading to PT10 but don't want to invite hours and hours of headaches. I learned years past that if something is working well and I make a version change that there is a huge risk of a domino effect of problems and upgrade requirements.

I've got PT10.2 on my Harpertown HD6 TDM system running with the last version of Lion without any problems. My HD Native system is exactly the same, except it's on a Nehalem Mac, also no problems. 32 gigs of ram on both systems, but you really don't need that much.

I have install. 10.6.8 + PT HD 10. Only 4g of Ram. It`s working. The only issue is when via eucon I call various channel strips plugins, by selecting multiple tracks, that way, PT all ways crashes. I don`t know if it has something to do with the low memory, or the sum of the system + PT version. Next week I will work 2 days with that system. I will report then.

- My system is a HD Native, PT 10 + OS 10.6.8; 14G ram, Harpertown too. Works very, very nice.

I'd say you need to invest in more RAM, at least 8 gig and also play around with your playback engine settings. Trashing preferences also might be a good idea, but more memory, properly allocated is where I would start.

Hi ggegan. I know. I requested it to the studio mananger... But...
Best!

Last night I down loaded a trial version of PT 10 for my MacPro Westmere 2.4 Quadcore, 8 RAM from PT8. When I launch it I get messages that tell me that thread 15 crashed (I don't know what that means). I got on the DUG site as well as GS and as far as I can tell the next step is to look for imcompatible plugins.

Fortunately, I made a clone of my HD so I am hoping to tuck my tail and backtrack without too much trouble. I would like to build courage to get PT 10 up an running on my HD3 system but will chill until I get this figured out. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Just to let you know that my set up works pretty well. The computer is a little slow for editing, but I`m mixing... :-) I`m taking in to consideration that the session is quite light. But it works flawless. The Eucon works pretty nice on the S5. It is almost like mix on it. Very, Very Nice. It will be very good to expand using hybrid system when needed.
