Re: [Logic_Cafe] Upgrading to Logic 7 from Logic Plat 6.4.3
2005-03-23 by GAmoore@aol.com
I am hoping the G5 will be problem free - now that they have replaced the mother board, both processors, the graphics board, and I have ram designed for apple only. It seemed more stable than the G4 setup - i was able to run Garritan in logic without crashes for example. Although it crashed quite ominously even on the Logic installer and Abelton Live installer.
I never had many problems with the 10 or so macs I have had in the past. In fact, the G4 was really good, until the past year or so when I put the processor upgrade board, system X, and Logic.
I just wish they could put out a certifiable solid working system. I heard a radio show "This American Life" about two programmers who were fired by Apple but they kept sneaking back in and using other offices, and they wrote the most amazing app for the powerpc - the graphing calculator completely on their own. Its an amazing story. One thing that was mentioned is that Apple makes a "gold master" hard disk of a working system and this gold master is used to clone all shipping macs. So I think Apple needs to make a gold master of a Logic & OS X system - maybe a downloadable image that could be burned to DVD and installed onto a partition. Then you keep your data files elsewhere. Also Logic needs to report what is making it crash before it crashes. Logic under system 9 at least gave you the "try to save your song" error. There are ways of catching these exceptions in the programming world.
