Will Logic Studio 9 work on OSX Lion?

I am sure that the Apple department, that develops Logic Studio and GarageBand, have heard about Lion...

I think it will 🙂 ...if it does not, I will return to the PC. lol

There will probably be an update of some sort for Lion compatibility, if needed. All in all, you shouldn't worry because both Logic and Lion are Apple. They do the thinking (and worrying) for you.

well put

Happy to report that I am running Logic in Developer Preview 4 with no problems as of yet. At first I had to run it in 32 bit because it wouldn't open in Developer Prev 3 but since 4 came out I can run it in both 32 bit and 64 bit. If there are problems, the problems will most likely be any third party software and/or vsti that haven't switched ovet to 64 bit codec... Please don't swamp this forum with my plugin won't work, I repeat it'll mostly be software companies needing to up their programs to run 64 bit.

No, 32-bit plugins still work in Logic via the bridge. If a plugin doesn't work, it's an issue with the plugin and Lion.

Rosetta = PowerPC emulation on an Intel CPU. That never worked for realtime applications, like audio.

The 32/64 bit confusion is because Lion requires a CPU that is 64-bit cabable. That has nothing to do with being able to run 32-bit applications or plugins! You can run 32-bit Intel applications on Lion just fine.

Exceptions are custom device drivers and kernel extensions, which have to be 64-bit to be compatible. This could create some trouble for hardware that didn't receive driver updates in the last 2 years... Could be annoying, but it is a vendor problem, not Apples. But this is also not new in Lion. The MacBook Pros and iMacs which Apples shipped this year required the same on SnowLeopard.

Hmm, a relatively short thread for such a widely discussed topic online. Anyway, I was hoping to find someone here whom has installed OSX Lion and has Logic 9 running without problems. If you are he/she, can you confirm that this auto-save feature that Lion boasts is working? Logic 9 has never ran very stable on any of my 3 Apple setups and I'm concerned that auto-save will be of dire importance upon making the jump to Lion.

Any experience with the afformentioned appreciated.

Cheers!

Logic 9 doesn't support "Versions", so no auto-save.

Possibly no update... http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2565

"Logic 9.1.4 is compatible with Mac OS X Lion"

I have logic 9.0.2 and it won't work with lion. Ok fine. Go to update and it doesn't update. It either tells me my copy of logic is elegable (?). Or it tells me my computer doesnt need it.

But, of course it does. I would like logic to work.

Anyone have any clues?

Yes thanks, I understand that. The problem is the OS won't let me update. The error messages are described in my previous post. Either: You don't need to update, or, I can't update to this version because your version is too old. I've tried to update incrementally too, but to no avail. Good job I had a spare running SL to use for my gig last night.

I have the same problem. Logic 9.0.2, none of the updates will work and the program doesn't work on Lion. It won't let me update to 9.1.4. I am desperately seeking a solution. It's quite bad.

Please search this forum! The question has been answered many times: you either moved the Logic Pro application into a different folder or renamed it. The Software Update only works if there is an application named "Logic Pro" inside the Applications folder! No version number behind the filename, no subfolder.
