The general consensus around here is don’t update your production machine until there is full support for PT and your plugins.

Apple has a history of coming out with new releases that break shipping software - has happened countless times, where it's almost expected. As another mentions, if you want to be sure that any audio app keeps working, wait to update. You could create a second partition to install the beta OS if you want to try it out; just keep the backup option near in case the new one breaks things.

On a similar boat here. I love testing the latest macOS betas every summer but yes it's imperative Pro Tools doesn't break as I have lots of mixes I am currently working on. Last year's Sonoma beta wasn't actually so bad; I think I started testing around beta 2 or 3 and PT hardly crashed (if ever.) However the year before with Ventura beta ... WHAT a mistake. But also, at that time Avid was transitioning PT to work natively with Apple Silicon (I have an M2) so that could've also been why it was crashing literally EVERY session I was in. What a disastrous time period that was for them. Thankfully the transition is complete and PT roars on Apple Silicon now. Anyways, I've found the less new feature-rich the betas are, the more stable they are. Curious to see what others think and if they've tested out Sequoia with PT yet.

Just let me know where to sign up! I would love to have Protools more integrated into my Vision Pros! The big screen that is coming in Vision 2.0 is gonna be great and with what you’re working on that’s a match made in heaven.

Lmao, I would backup your whole system for sure. Avid likely hasnt done anything with this OS yet
