Is any one out there using Logic with Leopard successfully?  I  
started to upgrade and I've heard all kinds of rumors about loss of  
audio interfaces and broken plug ins....  On the other hand.... i've  
read that Logic 8 was made to run with Leopard so it's a marriage  
made it heaven.... Which is it?

Thanks in advance

Well theres plenty of people using it just fine.

Broken plugins and audio hardware is not a fault of Logic's if they  
all of a sudden dont work in Leopard.
Its the manufacturer's fault for not updating for the new OS.

If your plugins arent updated, dont upgrade, otherwise have at it.

I had a problem with old EXS. So you should backup your EXS before you upgrade from LP7 to 
LS 8

You asked for feedback. Here is my initial experience of Leopard.

I am currently running Logic Pro 8 (upgraded from Pro 7) fine - dongle  
no longer required after installation,  on Leopard.

I had been having problems getting SoundTrack to work properly on  
Tiger, and decided that as I would eventually have to go to Leopard,

I might as well bite the bullet, do a clean install, and upgrade  
everything on my MacBook Pro.

Having backed up Tiger and all its luggage onto an outboard hard  
drive, I initially found that the Leopard install would freeze after  
about an thirty minutes into the game.

I eventually discovered that this was because "someone" had left  
sticky finger marks on the install disk, and I had missed it as I had  
skipped the verify DVD step.

Cloth wipe solved that one, but much worse was to come;-(

As I reinstalled my numerous plug-ins, third party applications etc.  
everything seemed to go fine until I re-installed Melodyne Studio,  
which prevented any of the Logic applications from launching.

Celemony are aware of this problem with their bridge and ReWire, and  
are working on a fix.

http://www.celemony.com/cms/

Cameleon, Guitar Pro 5, Visual Hub, Audio Hijack Pro, Fission, Peak,   
and all Redmatica applications worked perfectly from the re- 
downloaded, installed and registered versions.

My problem with the LFE channel 6 of surround seems to have fixed  
itself overnight.

Some applications need strange tweaks; e.g. FileMaker 8.5 requires  
that the system language be set to US English instead of UK English;  
iMovie fails to recognise my video camera,

I have yet to install or test my printers, scanners, Final Cut,  
Mathematica, Reason, Absynth, Albino NI misc. etc.

Mail has the strange quirk that it refuses to put my signatures  
automatically onto emails.

The Time Machine took many hours to index my six outboard hard drives,  
but when completed does seem to work fine.

Disk Warrior requires a costly upgrade to run on Leopard, but Leopard- 
used hard drives can be repaired using Tiger DW when connected to a  
Tiger Mac.

Latest odd bug-find, is that Logic crashes whilst attempting to save  
after "stretching" audio files; but only after the third stretch has  
been made.

The gui's are much better in the new Logic once you get used to the  
changed location of the familiar icons and controls.

So go for it, when you have some spare time to work through all the  
details, and be sure at least one en-Tigered Mac available to use  
until you get it everything up and running

Enjoy!

Just curious, did this get caught up in a queue or something  
somewhere?? I wrote this as it says above 10 days ago and it just got  
posted to the list this evening (12-18-2007).. Ive noticed a few of my  
emails on the Absynth User Group taking a day or two to post but the  
ones on the LUG seem to be going through as soon as the moderaters do  
their moderating..

Just wondering if its me or what?? Admins are ya out there??

Hi Chris

It's the <sarcasm>wonderful</sarcasm> Spam filter Yahoo have operating on their lists. Not
only is it not very effective, it doesn't light up warnings that it has
caught a mail as it IMHO really should, so yes, your last was unfortunately
overlooked. Sorry about that.

If it happens again, feel free to contact me privately.

>Admins are ya out there??

Always, if a little busy due to the Redmatica group buy going on here
and on the LUG just now :-)

kind regards
