Hi All, It seems to me that, compared with updating ProTools, actually using it is a piece of cake. Seriously, I used to feel pretty patient and resourceful when it came to navigating websites and update procedures, but I must be missing something here.
I’ve wasted hours trying to understand the Avid site. I signed in and found “my products and subscriptions”, but no way could I find the 12.5.2 upgrade. Of course when I asked a sighted person for help they just clicked on it straight away. My question is, if you are one of those who is just merrily updating whenever a new update comes out, do you have a relatively simple procedure that you could explain? And what, pray, is the Avid Application manager doing? Slau did say that the latest version is accessible but all it ever seems to do here is upgrade itself, and certainly not give me ProTools Updates. Perhaps I’m losing the plot but please, does anyone else share my mystification about actually finding and downloading the updates, and can someone take pity and put me out of my misery for next time?

For some reason I am one of those folks who lags when it comes to updates. If I feel like something is running well, I seem to hold off. Never updated my OS to El Capitan. Not even on my mac which I am not running ProTools on. Though I am always anxious to see what updates have in store. As well I feel like 12.5.2 seems to load quicker and run more efficiently. I should not have waited so long to update. Guess I'm just like one of those birds you see on a telephone wire. He finds a spot and feels good about it and just sits there LOL. That's me.

The latest version of El Cap is technically not supported by Pro Tools but it does work. To me, the issue of El Cap is more of voiceOver sometimes cutting out and being unresponsive to the point where I need to unload and load it twice in a row in order for it to come back speaking. To be fair, I haven’t seen that behavior in Pro Tools specifically but I’m not using that machine for day-to-day work so I can’t testify to its long-term use. In general, however, the latest version will work on both systems and a new version is expected pretty soon and I think it’ll support the current version of El Capitan. Maybe others will chime in with any other observations.

Back to Pro Tools: I have until 30 august to use a ProTools free update. My actual setup is Mac Pro 6 core, with Yosemite and ProTools 11 something. Use a Maudio Profire 2626 and Avid 11Rack interfaces plus BCF 2000 control surface. all works a charme, I only use it for music production therefore I dont mind to stay with Yosemite, what are your thoughts? And, concerning ProTools wich version do you recommend? Is it ok to install the most recent one?
