Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

are you sure Vstation and FM7 are compatible with 7.1?

with any new software versions there are bound to be incompatibilities. 
it's a fact. if you'd prefer not to experience these incompatibilities 
you shouldn't upgrade right away. If you prefer to live on the bleeding 
edge then you need to accept the fact that you will encounter 
incompatibilities. It's one thing if you were using strictly Logic 
instruments but using third-party plugins with a brand-spankin new 
version will always be a risky endeavor. this is the case with all 
applications that allow for third-party plugins (Photoshop, anyone?).

make sure you contact Novation and Native Instruments to report the 
incompatibility. they may already be working on an update.

You do send a crash report each time I hope? :o) (With a full trace list, 
Apple might not be at their wit's end).

I checked NI's website and there is a bit of a list of plugs which won't validate under 10.4 
(Tiger) which DID validate previously under 10.3.9 - including Battery, Intact, and Garritan 
(but FM7 was not mentioned I think). I found that only Battery 2 does not validate for me. 
They say they are working on a solution, but at the current moment there is no solution so 
you might have to deactivate those plugs for now.

Of course there was no notification, despite Tiger being out for two months. What if alll your 
songs used Battery and suddenly its gone? I would have held off on upgrading to Tiger.
