I would confer with your "protools" developers website—


If in doubt refer to the developers website; Support/Help/FAQ/known issues/compatibility /updates...

Contact a third party vendor

You have to erase/reformat/initilaize the parent drive as new to revert; then you restore user data from back up.


the macOs point updates are available from Terminal.app download in advance and make a bootable installer


via terminal, copy and paste:

softwareupdate --list-full-installers


the example would be:

sudo softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 13.4

Have you tried the currently available version of Protools to see if it actually does work in Ventura 13.5? Creating a bootable USB stick of Ventura 13.5, wiping your startup drive, reinstalling macOS a version behind, and then using migration assistant to install your user data from a Time Machine backup is a mighty big ask to maintain conformance with any third-party developer that can't keep up as others do…


It causes you to forego any security, firmware, or bug fixes that came along with Ventura 13.5, and associated Security rapid response installations. If you value your time, what do you think that first paragraph will cost you?
