Logic 9: Intel Mac recommended or required?

Thanks, Sam. I've got a dual 2.0 G5 too so your info is particularly valuable. Can you play back the Lily Allen demo as discussed above?

I'm just saying, that is the limit. I would typically use 2 or 4 guitars. And we always have freeze, so I think a dual 2GHZ PPC could use the amps quite well.

After using L9 for a few hours, l've noticed a general performance improvement in some operations over L8 but a couple of the newer features really seem to tax the CPU's... Analyzing tracks for the flex modes seems a bit slow.

Thanks to all you PPC guys for posting results, I have a dual 2.7 and thought I was going to have to plunk down the serious dough for a new computer and now I won't have to for a little while longer.... cheers.

do you work for apple? the argument that apple haven't made a PPC for years leaves me to speechless to comment and the comment about he can carry on using 8 well 8 is an incomplete buggy program that we have been waiting for an update for for over a year. I have tried to stay silent about this because I was a massive apple fan and hoped that an update was around the corner but this sort of replies to frustrated apple users doesn't help anybody and just feels like a misguided sales pitch that is hardly going to make you any friends in the real world 😉

I have to agree about the buggyness - Logic 8 has been freezing up on my pretty constantly while I been mixing an EP over the last month.

just called apple store they told me you had to have a stupid intell mac is this true in running logic9

Nope, they don't want to support it, but it installs and it runs as you can read in this thread.

Has anyone installed and used Logic 9 on a dual 1.25 GHz G4? If so, what was your experience? L8 has worked fine for me given the projects I normally do, but am leery about upgrading.

bump. Would love to know this too. G5 dual is my main machine, but use a Powerbook G4 for mobile tracking (nothing too intense. Maybe an Altiverb and Addicted Drums plug w/ 8-10 tracks of audio).
