    If that’s all it is, then yes I agree. I can live with that…

    Others have had more serious issues. But the TC one is on every mac at the Apple Store.

    If you’re going to try it obviously a clean install on a separate drive/partition is the way to go.

    Well that was some light reading. There wasn’t one single bug listed in that article. There was a link within the article to a support forum, but not exactly a comprehensive FCP X related list.

    Power consumption for periphs like the black magic mini monitor go through the roof. I recommend you guys wait if you can.

    As if on cue, Larry Jordan talks about upgrading to El Cap (check out the comments section for user feedback).

    Another waste of a read. Let me paraphrase… Larry updated his OS. He’ll get back to us on what he finds later. Thanks Larry.

    Did you read the comments? People mention specific problems such as iZotope plugins.

    10-bit output to the GUI in El Capitan? How? Do you have source for this?

    I read both the what Larry wrote and the comments. I have another machine around the house that has Yosemite. I am going to add two partitions installing Yosemite on one, El Capitan on another, and the third will be reserved for project files, even render files. Not sure if there will be any performance issues as a result so comments are very much appreciated.

    Here’s another bit of info from fellow COW user Tim Jones.

    “Good input David – also be aware that the new “locked out” folders in 10.11 include /bin, /sbin, /etc, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /private/root, /System, and /dev. If you or one of your tools has placed anything into any of those locations, the change / addition will be deleted with no warning or explanation. Things will just stop working.

    My recommendation to all – if you don’t have a really, really, really compelling reason to update to 10.11, DON’T.

    If you MUST, and you use BRU Producer’s Edition, make sure that you upgrade to the latest version (3.1.16 build 203 at this time) to insure El Capitan compatibility. Also, if you’re running ATTO HBAs, be sure to update your drivers and firmware from the attotech.com site as Apple is still downgrading the drivers.

    HPT users are okay with the current drivers.”
