godawful

Hey all, just reporting back real quick. I've been able to upgrade to El Capitan and just trying to trouble shoot issues. The biggest issue I'm finding is I' not longer able to ReWire Reason 5. Been googling around for fixes but it's but pretty unfruitful so far. May just have to go through the process of downgrading back to 10.8.5. Edit for more context: I’m running both in 32-bit, for some reason it is not showing Reason in selectable ReWire options and reason does not open in slave mode.

I don't currently, but I'm fairly resourceful and should be able to get El Capitan. Is Logic 9 still stable on there? I haven't upgraded OS since I've read in a couple places that 9 kind of fell apart once X was released due to lack of support. Also, would running Logic Pro 9 in 64 bit help? I've been thinking about upgrading the 8 to 16, bad call?

Hey all - First of all, major apologies if this is in the incorrect forum. So I just finished up an EP on my current set-up, and honestly the mixing process was absolute torture due to how slow and poorly performing my current set-up is (non-stop system overloads, can not tweak any plugins during playback, transport not responding) so I told myself once the project was done I was going to treat myself and start upgrading. Here's what I'm working with currently: MacBook Pro Mid-2010 (Upgraded to 8GB RAM) MacOS 10.8.5 Logic Pro 9.1.8 (running 32-bit) Digi002 Rack It's all pretty dated. I've held off for so long in fear of losing all of compatibility of plug-ins I've used over the years, however it's to the point I am willing to risk losing all of my previous work to have a better system and more consistent workflow. I've done a lot of searching around and am pretty overwhelmed by the approach I can take. Do I upgrade my MBP first? Do I update my OS and get Logic Pro X - or would I still have performance issues? I unfortunately don't have the budget to wipe the slate clean and get everything at once, and also don't want to overspend if I don't need to. I am just seeing what you all would recommend as the best way to begin upgrading? Thanks all!
