- Ira Gilford asks if there is a prepatched version of OS X Yosemite to use with an old Mac Pro as we covered in an article from community member Julius Chan on How To Resurrect A 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 So It Can Run OSX Yosemite
- Carsten Groa responding to a question in Podcast 181 regarding the maximum number of recording inputs on Pro Tools vanilla as he points out that with Pro Tools 12.1 Avid increased the number of audio tracks to 128. See the comparison chart on the Avid site, unless anyone with Pro Tools 12.1 vanilla can confirm different.
Questions From The Community

Team Find Of The Week
- Russ - The Eleven Rack Hardware with Pro Tools on eBay. NOT the Eleven plug-in that Avid are offering free with PT 12.1 subscription at the moment.
- James - Warm Audio WA76…… 1176 tone and control without the price tag… also a nifty stereo option added to the UK Nova distribution units.
- Mike - My old floppy disk authorisations, see the picture on our Facebook page. Remember all those floppies and backup disks because they kept failing. When we complain about iLok, just recall the bad old days before shouting too loudly.
