Dear All.
I've been working with Logic on a Mac Mini for a while now.
Since this is not entirely flawless, (the Mac Mini turns out to be a bit too light for Logic) I started looking for a replacement.
I now have my eye on a Mac Pro 2013, 12core 64gb Ram, running on Montery. This seems to me to be more than enough to be able to work with Logic without any problems.
However, I have an 828 MK2 firewire and a MIDI Express 128. These devices work without problems on my current Mac Mini, which runs on Catalina. I have never tried an update of the OS, because I am afraid that my Motu drivers will no longer work.
My question now is, can I continue to use my 828 MK2 and MIDI Express 128 on a Mac running Montery?
Or will this work but do I need to revert the Mac to Catalina?
Or, with this hardware, will I run into other problems if I buy another Mac with a different OS?
I'd love to hear your experiences.
Kind regards,
Rene

Unless that MacPro 6.1 is being given to you, I would avoid. The design is now ten years old. Though there are upgrades that an be done, anything released since 2017 will be faster and better suited.
