Not without a few bumps in the road but, on the whole, a positive experience. I’ve had a happy marriage with Apple and Pro Tools for many years. Then a G5, then a couple of Mac Pro’s- running TDM/HD/HDX systems for the most part as well as native systems. It is just a lot of money for a computer for me, a one-man-band producer/engineer/audio consultant. There isn’t a machine that works for me as much as a Mac tower, and as we all know Apple hasn’t made a proper tower since 2012. I bought the new Mac Pro somewhat under duress. Yes, I actually bought one, which was a surprise to me as much as anyone (although not to my long-suffering and extremely wonderful wife). Mac OS Catalina Support is here for Pro Tools with the exception of the new Mac Pro, which is a pity because that is the machine I see sitting before me.
