![]() You did the right thing going with that full install. If anyone wants instructions on how to do this I can post a link to what I did. Thanks for the suggestions and advice, you guys are really cool and helpful. I will never upgrade OS X from here until I buy a new interface for recording that will require it. It was not easy and required backing up everything to a separate drive, downloading Yosemite to a blank HD and erasing the main HD and then reinstalling Yosemite as the main OSX, then transferring all of the saved data back to the main HD. Well, I did find a way to uninstall El Capitan and reinstall Yosemite. You're right, I am to blame, I should've checked on here before I upgraded but in my hangover I said oh what the hell and that's exactly what I got. If you really want to stay on El Crapitan, Check out Focusrite, which claims support today for all their low-end interfaces, and check their support/user forums to see if that works OK for folks. Your DAW going to be compatible with El Capitan? So you went wrong there as well, if you really wanted to do this crazy upgrade you should have grabbed another disk, done a test install of El Capitan on that, installed Pro Tools and drivers and if it did not work just rebooted to your working system. Why would anybody with a working DAW want to upgrade to El Crapitan, a release that is causing more folks here pain than any OS X release in recent history?Įl Capitan is a clusterf*ck of problems around USB audio interfaces for many interface vendors, and other issues.Īvid has always been relatively slow to update/qualify stuff, even if the interface was supported, and your Mbox 2 is beyond support life, and has been for a while.Īvid recommends not doing in-situ OS X upgrades, for good reason, they just get too flaky at times. Or reinstall OS X, easiest if you have previous download purchases in your account or you can Purchase Lion on Apple's Online Store. Apogee rode thru the beta incarnations, UA and others waited for the Final.Roll back to your last working backup. Most companies wait for the final rather than waste resources for months. This happened with both EL Capitan and Windows 10. Apple and Windows add stuff and change API's that break functionality right up until the night of the final release. Expecting the customer to keep an up to date yearly fee, while not providing timely releases will simply damage their reputation further. Now that they charge an annual fee for updates, they need to show they are serious about keeping the software current for the support plans to have any value. That is what has changed, by their own doing. or they are not serious about what the support plans pay for.Īvid have to get better at their compatibility releases for there to be any value in their subscription/support model. It's not like El Capitan was dropped on them a week ago, they've been working with the beta. Yet Avid have made their subscription/support model about keeping current. I don't care about El Capitan per se I am still on 11.3.1 with Mavericks (and it is working okay, despite the bugs, which I just have learnt to shrug and work around). You should expect more of the same in the future. They will ride this "we are the industry standard" train for as long as the public allows. They are a software (and hardware) company trying to make a profit from your investment in their products. Don't expect Avid to suddenly be the poster child for customer service and being a service provider. Those that feel the need to get the latest-greatest versions, end up being frustrated with Avid. ![]() Those who can stick with an older OS and compatible version of Protools tend to be more satisfied with their DAW. This is not a jab at Avid but just a fact of their business model and history. ![]() The software and the company is just not as nimble as some others. If you are looking for a DAW to keep up with Apple's latest OS, Avid may not be the right platform for you. In some cases, they simply give up and abandon that version (PT10) and put their development resources to newer versions. Their testing cycle is extensive and often it takes months. Did something change? Avid has always taken their time to release updates to be compatible with Apple's frequent OS updates.
