I've ported 16 bit software to modern OS'es. You would honestly have an easier time writing 64 bit drivers than trying to create a 32 bit environment for them in a pure 64 bit OS. It's a small price to pay for seamless results doing anything I want with abandoned hardware. I find this to be the best of both worlds. I use it like a glorified recorder to interface with older hardware and then move everything to my good PC and work with it on the DAW there. I have a 500gb hard drive and lots of ram because ddr2 is worthless, and it's very fast and responsive! Most peoples memories of using those machines and them crawling were with minimal RAM. And, honestly i don't have a SSD in my own 2009 mini mac. I just looked on ebay and saw 2008 & 2009 models for under $60.

Just leave Snow Leopard on one and enjoy the stability. I like eurorack modular very much sound wise, and system logic, and would happily spend 20K, ( still not there ) however when it comes to event organization, data generation, multi track management, handling of data and visualization and in my case I use my audio interface to post process my eurorack signals, nothing comes close to the efficiency of a computer.īringing 32 bit support back is a noble idea, but man, you can get a 10 year old mini mac for so cheap used.

So I wonder how difficult it is to develop a bridging software to run 32bit apps on Catalina. So even if you configure yourself multiple booting options, your hardware, let's say an audio interface as an essential part of your studio, will only work with one booting option.

20XX instal the new for mac
