el capitan vs sierra on macbook pro 2014

The reason I upgraded to El Capitan was FL Studio in the first place. Unfortunately this isnt a real option, because I use FL Studio at the same time on this machine, and Mavericks do not work with FL.

I am guessing thats the only option without having to buy any software/hardware. The best option for me -financially wise- as far as PT is concerned as pointed out by Netmania, would probably be to roll back my MacBook to Mavericks, the last OS that supported MBox2 and see if I could upgrade the PT8 to a latest version to fix any glitches. It's been very helpful for me to clear some things up. Or at least tell me if this search is pointless and that buying a new Mac is inevitable (otherwise this old mac works perfectly and I dont really need to replace it.)įirst of all thank you all for your help, suggestions and remarks. I am not sure, but all recent versions of PT seem to require at least 16GB of RAM.

But I need to move forward and I need to see if there is some kind of combination of OSX and PT and even a new hardware to work with my MacBook (only 8GB RAM unfortunately), cos I'm tired of having two different computers for work. The last 5 years I have been using ProTools only on my old PC (a computer I have deliberately kept frozen on Windows XP, where Mbox2 works just fine with PT8LE). My Mbox2 with PT 8LE used to work on my MacBook on its original OSX, but with some serious glitches and I eventually stopped using it. I have been working as a musician and producer with PT for more than 15 years, both on Windows and Mac, at home and at studios. However if I have to upgrade for PT, I am eager to do it.) My OSX at the moment is El Capitan 10.11.6, but I could get to High Sierra (I tried it, it worked, but I decided to go back to El Capitan because of some software incompatibilities. I have an early 2013 Macbook Pro with 8GB RAM.
