Im also talking about the PowerPC versions of the OS. Youre using a brand new Intel Macbook. Logic 5 is not a Universal Binary application, this wasnt even around when 5,6 and 7 were initially released. If you can even get 5 to install under OS 10.4, its probably not going to play very nice with all of the CoreAudio changes that have happened in the 5 years or so since its release. OS X has come quite a loooooooooooong way since then. Last bit, Logic 5/6/7 were heavily optimized for the PPC Altivec instruction set. Right away this means Logic is not going to run under Rosetta on your new Macbook. Its going to run rather slow if it does at all work (cant remember if you can turn off the Altivec optimization or not), and the minute it hits a piece of altivec code, its going to crash and burn. You need to start looking for an upgrade path to 7 if you plan on moving forward with your brand new MacBook.. --- Chris www.monotrematamusic.com www.descentrecords.com
