Q: Should I Upgrade?

Hello,

 

Running Logic Ex 9 on Snowleopard 10.6 since I got this maching.  I'm more frequently finding that newer software is not compatible with my older OS.  I want to upgrade but I don't want to add problems with Logic.  Insights please!

 

Thank you

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 3.06 GHz Intel

    What exactly are you considering upgrading: your OS, Logic, or both?

     

    It sounds like you have the same iMac that I have, in which case you could move up to Logic Pro X IF you upgrade your OS to Mountain Lion first. LPX requires 10.8.4 or later. If you're thinking of Logic Pro 9, you can run that on 10.6.8 . . . you'd just have to shop around to find Logic Studio somewhere.

     

    If you're talking about just upgrading your OS and keeping LE9, you can definitely move up to Lion or Mountain Lion. LE9 will run perfectly with either one. I would NOT suggest Mavericks, as, at least with the original release, you will likely have issues trying to use LE9.

    Thanks Guit, no I was just considering upgrading the OS right now.   I thought

    I remembered reading somewhere that there could be problems.

     

    Thanks very much.
