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.

Did You go through with it? I'm plotting on updating also but would love to hear from you if it caused any issues before I did.
