    Hi, this is the first time I write here! I would like to ask, what operating system for macbook pro is more stable for musical production with no legit plugins from the sister site, I used to use mavericks but now I have mojave and it seems to go very well!

    The only reasons I'd consider using an older release is either drivers for older audio interfaces or software incompatibilities with 10.14+

    I'm happy still with Sierra, for the time being.
    Going backwards in macOS: El Capitan was great, Mavericks was awful, and my fave was the good old Snow Leopard! But only Logic Pro 9 of course; no LPX.

    I'm running Mojave on a hackintosh (dell e7440, 16gb ram, 500gb SSD) with a MOTU 828 mk3 audio interface, and it's pretty smooth for me.
