It is fine for editing short sections and setting up the mix, but last night it took 37 attempts to bounce to disc a rough mix of a 4-minute song before I was lucky enough to get through an entire bounce without crashing. I can't bounce mixes to disc or even play through an entire 3-minute song without error AAE-9073 coming up. I feel like throwing both the laptop and the iLok from the 25th floor balcony and buying Cubase instead. I'm not sure what your $9 adapter does but I can't imagine it has any input, you likely would be a lot better off just using built-in output, or built-in S/PDIF out to a DAC/heaphone amp.I recently bought PT 12.5.2 and loaded it onto my MacBook that already had El Capitan (10.11.5) running.

Your POS $9 USB adapter is a class complaint USB device, it is not trying to do anything interesting that higher performance third party interface drivers do, using kernel interfaces that Apple has seemingly broken for many device drivers in El Capitan. Not maybe to some, El Capitan is definitively a mess to many. SO WHY DOES El Capitan recognize a $9 USB device but not my $400+ MBox? Does not sound like El Capitan is that finicky about USB devices.

I suppose I can now record into ProTools for a $9 investment while I wait for AVID to update the MBox driver.

I just opened Pro Tools 1st and PT1st recognizes it. You know, I just bought a $9 Sorbent USB adapter for my 2015rMBP running El Capitan. I have quite a lot of other USB devices I have plugged in to it and they all work fine. To some of the other posters above - maybe El Capitan is a mess for some but I think it is a very solid OS. I pity users trapped into it with new Apple Macs.įireJoe - are you saying you got El Capitan to recognize an MBox2 using an MBox2 Driver? Even if that were the case, I would hate to go from the MBox2 back to the 2 - but, whatever works. I am normally fairly critical of Avid when they screw up or are ultra slow to do stuff, but Apple has made quite a mess with El Capitan.

And next time you do a OS X upgrade you can aim to do a full clean install with full clean driver and app installs (probably with a new interface).

It is safer/better to reinstall all those from scratch. But just to be clear I hope you did not use migration assistant to bring over any apps or drivers. You did the right thing going with that full install.

If anyone wants instructions on how to do this I can post a link to what I did. Thanks for the suggestions and advice, you guys are really cool and helpful. I will never upgrade OS X from here until I buy a new interface for recording that will require it. It was not easy and required backing up everything to a separate drive, downloading Yosemite to a blank HD and erasing the main HD and then reinstalling Yosemite as the main OSX, then transferring all of the saved data back to the main HD. Well, I did find a way to uninstall El Capitan and reinstall Yosemite. You're right, I am to blame, I should've checked on here before I upgraded but in my hangover I said oh what the hell and that's exactly what I got. If you really want to stay on El Crapitan, Check out Focusrite, which claims support today for all their low-end interfaces, and check their support/user forums to see if that works OK for folks.

Your DAW going to be compatible with El Capitan? So you went wrong there as well, if you really wanted to do this crazy upgrade you should have grabbed another disk, done a test install of El Capitan on that, installed Pro Tools and drivers and if it did not work just rebooted to your working system. Why would anybody with a working DAW want to upgrade to El Crapitan, a release that is causing more folks here pain than any OS X release in recent history?Įl Capitan is a clusterf*ck of problems around USB audio interfaces for many interface vendors, and other issues.Īvid has always been relatively slow to update/qualify stuff, even if the interface was supported, and your Mbox 2 is beyond support life, and has been for a while.Īvid recommends not doing in-situ OS X upgrades, for good reason, they just get too flaky at times. Or reinstall OS X, easiest if you have previous download purchases in your account or you can Purchase Lion on Apple's Online Store.
