sessions with anywhere from 50-100 (or more) tracks (that's all the soft synths printed) loads of plugins and a full master buss. Apple A Grade Desktop Computer iMac 27-inch (Retina 5K) 3.4GHZ Quad Core i5 (Mid 2017) MNE92LL/A 32 GB 1 TB HDD.
My go to verbs are Valhalla, which are pretty CPU friendly.Īs far as load goes. One instance of Diva can chew up anywhere from 20% to 50% CPU when it's running in multicore "divine" mode. The major culprits are multiband compressors, different tape/vinyl emulators, and U-He Diva. Includes: SSD, tools, display tape & installation components. Serum, NI stuff, too many Kontakt libraries to list (mostly orchestral). iMac Core i7 3.5 27-Inch (Late 2013) 3. Thrilling speeds up to 3316MB/s read and 2445MB/s write. if that's the best option.Īs far as third party plugins, lots of soft synths. I mistakenly let my Avid subscription run out, and have been looking at different options to get up to PT 2018. What kind of load are you putting on the system to get the cpu usage you're stating? What 3rd party plugins?Īs of the last time I checked, PT 12.6.1 was only supported up to OSX 10.12.1 I'm not entirely sure if this is a correct assumption on my part, so correct me if I'm wrong, but do certain plugins take advantage more more cores/threads depending on how they are programmed? Or do they simply rely on Pro Tools to determine how they use system resources? Maxing out my ram would be cheaper, but I'm just not computer savvy enough to know if that will make more of a difference or if the CPU will make a difference. A 2012 iMac can upgrade to can newer OS's like macOS Mojave 10.14 and macOS Catalina 10.15, I would recommend you upgrade to macOS High Sierra 10.13 first. The iMac 11,3 with i5 or i7 processor has a maximum of 32GB (4x8GB.) It is important to note this does. A: Installing a newer OS is called an upgrade. However, it's still a pretty big chunk of change that could go to other gear that I've got me eyes on. The 27' Late 2012 through Late 2014 iMacs, including the iMac 5K Retina Display, utilize DDR3-1600Mhz memory. This is my livelihood, so I don't mind investing in the tools that put food on the table.
Including the rebate for my 6 core, their upgrade price is as follows: I was looking at OWC and their turnkey CPU upgrade. Pretty normal for my system to hover in the 80% CPU usage, and I'm getting somewhat regular CPU playback errors. I find myself using more and more virtual instruments and CPU hungry plugins.
