Q: Logic Express and Mavericks

I still run Logic Express 8 on Snow Leopard. Wondering if any one is using Logic Express 8 and Maverics. Any issues? I was planning to update my Snow Leopard to Mavericks. I am aware that the Apple Loops that originally came on separate DVDs can not be installed in Mavericks (or Mountain Lion for that mapper) because they require Rosetta for the installation. I figure that since I have them already installed, the update should preserve them and it should continue to work.

 

Can anyone confirm?

 

Thanks

    The Logic 8 installer does not need Rosetta to run.  However in Lion and thereafter, there is a bug that triggers the PowerPC dialog box, adding to that confusion.

     

    So, you are correct that Logic Express 8 should be installed before any upgrade from Snow Leopard. 

     

    Whether there are separate problems due to Mavericks, I have not yet seen any reports.

    My grand plan is to eventually purchase Logic Pro X, but since it won't run on Snow Leopard, I haven't conidered it.  I'm planning on cloning my SL drive and upgrading to Mavericks on the clone. That way I can test my apps including Logic Express 8.

     

    Thanks.

    At the risk of sounding like a broken record, if you look 1 post, 3 posts, and 8 posts down you will see that there is indeed at least one issue with Logic Express 8 and Mavericks.

    Yeah, sorry about that. I realized that after posting. Should have looked around a little before posting. :-)
