Old MacBook, old macOS: expect problems?

Yeah, it’s definitely the plugins causing the crash.

I’m using the Reason Studios Rack plugin (VST3) – there was a whole thread about it here a long time back: Reason as a plugin

The crashing thread is failing due to some bad interaction between Reason, GP, and macOS:

I could try the AU versions – I’d thought of that, but I’d need to rebuild my (complex) plugin configuration then, right? And then the gig file would no longer be cross-platform. But it could be worth an experiment.

Everyone claims Mojave compatibility :man_shrugging:
