Catalina and digital audio?
Will your plugins still work?
Some do not.
many in the industry are fairly pissed off about all this, I know many project studios running the 5,1...They nor I could ever afford a new Mac Pro.
Most Studios don’t make what they used to.
I have ran Catalina just to check it out,
I would not use Catalina to do audio work on, with the 5,1 ...just saying.
It’s not supported, it has a few issues.
I would never put a paying clients tracks in Catalina.
Or any of my own work for that matter.
Mojave is solid, so is high Serra.
And all my plugins work, all my daws work, even crusty old pro tools...
a new gpu will not increase track counts, or really change much if not pushing it.
pushing the gpu could be video work,
Higher resolution monitors, multi monitors, all can improve workflow.
when I think of system response improvements, disk speed, memory, and cpu come to mind.
I had ran an ultra wide monitor for about a year with a 780ti, it ran well.
I just got a rx580, I could not believe how much better the screen looked.
But the monitor was set up for ati.
So depends on monitors.
but to tell the truth, it’s when I switch the machine to windows, to play games then the better gpu really shines.
And why I upgraded, getting a Vega next.
as far as any system response improvements with a gpu, Imho I would say no...
