If they can do it for FCPX, they can do it for Logic Pro XĪpple could, had they chosen, have released a version of Mountain Lion compatible with EFI 32 based Mac Pro's - if hackers can do it then of course Apple could.

There's thankfully no great rush as Logic 9 is no less capable today than it was yesterday, but I think today is a very sad day even so.Īpple could, had they chosen, have released a Lion compatable version of Logic Pro X. I also own a MacBook Pro i7 running 10.8.4Īfter using Logic since the eMagic days I will now have to investigate shifting to another DAW simply in order to be able to run the same software on my tower (studio machine) and laptop (live recording). I'm on an original Mac Pro with an HD 5770 and 12 GB of RAM, and 4 x 1TB drives running FCPX with zero problems. What is your opinion ? Is it worth the effort to generate pressure to reduce minimum system requirement to 10.7 ?

Why is there no Trial download as with FCPX ? I believe - yet can't proove - that the installer just looks for the installed system. At least, Protools 11 runs fine on first Gen MacPros with 10.7.ģ. Just like Avid released Protools 11, which should have been Protools 9 already. Let's make it clear, Logic Pro X should have been Logic 9 really, but Apple did not do their homework. I do not swallow it that the arguemnt might be that feature xyz didn't work out in 10.7. Why is the minimum requirement not 10.7 ? There are a lot of MacPros and other out there capable of only 10.7, yet still capable machines for production (remember, Final Cut Pro X runs fine on the first gen MacPros…)Ģ. In my book this is an asolute no go, with no reason other to impose Apples App-store power onto users to buy new hardware. Now, that Apple has released Logic Pro X, we Pros have to learn that the minimum system requirement is set to OS X 10.8.4.
