I know what you mean… I had a job on a movie set with playback of music, many expensive men on set so needed a very stable computer. Went back to a 2009 Mac Pro with snow leopard. Rick solid!That's the last version of macOS (AKA OS X) that I really liked and felt comfortable with. With Ventura, it's a new issue every day.
But back on topic: I get my m2pro tomorrow. I”ll report back about the ‘noise’… and probably some complaints about Ventura…
