I realized that my new Macbook Pro is a much better platform to running the current version of Protools so I've spent some of yesterday and part of today installing Protools 12, Bias FX Professional, Addictive Drums 2 and a bunch of other stuff and doing some review on how to use it all. With my Apogee Duet I think I'll have a nice little recording platform to start work on a new project that I'm pretty excited about...my 27" iMac is almost 7 years old and even with 16 gigs of ram the processor just can't keep up with a lot of the plugins I use (which is sad when I think of what @El Borrachito uses on a daily basis in his studio). Freezing and rebooting gets old.
