Maybe it's because I'm old, too.Have you ever wanted to make a video recording of either yourself or your Mac’s screen? Have you ever needed to make a quick audio recording of your voice using your Mac? You can do this easily using Apple’s QuickTime Player. I like having options, and not discarding stuff just because it's old. When (if) I do that, I'll have gobs of space to run whatever OS I choose. That's why I haven't committed to doing that yet. I'm also looking into upgrading my internal storage from 256 to 2TB using aftermarket parts, but Sleeping may still be an issue. It's clearly much faster than using an external USB HDD. But now it boots plenty fast on the SD and it runs smoothly.

I tried doing this years ago, and found it unacceptably slow.

I've been pleasantly surprised how speedy using a fast microSD card can be. I guess I want to find out if there is anything worth using a newer version of MacOS. High Sierra is still 100% 32 bit compatible. I'm not entirely sure why I'm doing this, as HS does everything I need. I bought myself a Samsung 512 EVO Select microSD from Amazon (UHS-I), and am loading Big Sur on it now. I didn't notice anyone suggesting using both High Sierra (HS) and the latest MacOS on the same machine. Because honestly, who or what scenario would benefit from having all players playback audio simultaneously? I have been robbed of this very important stage in my workflow with Big Sur not supporting QT7.Īll QuickTime needs to do is add a simple preference, allowing 'playback audio on target player only'. With QT7 I can quickly hit play on both players, and simply click to toggle between the two files and clearly listen to the differences, while playing the files back in the same exact playback position. I am constantly doing A/B comparisons between two audio files of the same type (but with minor differences in the mix). In any other version, if you hit play on multiple files they all just stack audio playback and it's awful. And the reason i use QT7 is because only ONE player will pass audio at a time, when multiple files are playing simultaneously. Basically all my music files get previewed via quicktime at some point during my process. I use QT7 as an audio/recording engineer. Seems i am in a predicament, different than what everyone here experiences.
