I’m currently running sB 2.3 on a 2014 MacMini w 16GB, on Sierra, which works fine, w occasional crash-on-quit bug. I’ll install my other favorite DAW apps on this machine as well, including sB HD2.3 just to see how it goes. As the lastest & fastest of the Intel Mac minis 3.2GHz i7 chip it should really fly w WaveLab 10. I noticed that the 2018 Mac mini could go up to 64GB w two user installable 32GB sticks, and it’s minimum OSX is Mojave. I’ve tended to hang w 16GB RAM as it’s usually sufficient. That’s Great to hear! I’ve been collecting various Mac minis, 2012, 2014, 2018 & new M1, and installing various OSX versions o find the ultimate combinations of Mac power, OS compatibility, & DAW stability. It certainly gave me confidence to keep using sB for some years yet. Re-assembling masters with complex, snapshot automation was an absolute breeze. Plugins that have a heftly graphic requirment openened up flawlessly. I chucked 64gigs into my mac tower and it certainly made a noticeable improvement. It made plug-in land super, super stable. One thing I will say to you Jerry is that fitting out my Mac with lots of RAM was a revelation. I imagine this is the case any time you are migrating from one production workstation to the next regardless of the software. Even though I'm just a light plug in user, you still need to make the effort to ensure they are opening up in older projects with the same settings. Open in the same manner as my older system, but it eventually all panned out. Yeah, there was a few hours of stuffing around trying to get plugins to I've just moved onto High Sierra as well as prepping my back up, mac mini with Mojave.īoth systems are running really well. Next two weeks I’m to be hammered with many full length projects & EPs, setting the DAW experiments aside. So all of this experimentation has become a hobby of sorts, that i do on slow days, which occasionally appear, all the while keeping two working DAWs at the ready. I may convert it to a sB 2.1 rig, along with old WaveBurner Pro 1.6.1 for resurrecting a myriad of Legacy sessions for remasters for vinyl, download & streaming files. The other part of my head tells me to forget about building another old sB rig, and instead focus on moving forward with WaveLab 9.5 or even 10 on a newer Mac.īut! to complicate the situation even more, I do have a 2009 Mac Pro Tower, that i used as a Pro Tools HD rig for many years, that still works beautifully, running on Snow Leopard. ![]() Today I’m gonna try a partition for dual booting into El Capitan, if i can get it to install. ![]() But I’m struggling to get an older version of Sonoris DDP Creator to authorize on this rig. I also bought a 2012 MacMini running OSX 10.10.5 Yosemite & sB 2.1 and it will run those early versions of plug-ins, but only after very persistent effort of finding the right version of iLok software. Working very well, except sB 2.3 won’t load a couple of plug-ins that I like.īut it does open old sB sessions with all the edits & marks in proper state. So I’ve updated my soundBlade catching DAW to a 2014 MacMini w 10.12 Sierra. After many years of service, my old 2007 Mac Pro Tower finally died, probably motherboard.
