Hello,
I may have found the answer on another person's thread, but nothing beats having a discussion about your own personal case... I have been running Pro Tools Digi 001 on a G4 with OS 9.1 for quite a while now, and everything's been fine. But the the OS 9.1 has begun to become outdated ... endless Shockwave/Flash error messages ... so many things made for OSX only now. So, I think I'm ready to upgrade to OSX. I could either have both OS 9.1 and OSX on the computer and use the 9.1 to run the Pro Tools and the OSX for everything else, or I could upgrade the Digi 001 as well. Apparently, it will work up to 10.3 (Panther). Are there any things I need to worry about here? What are the steps I must take? (I still live in the dark ages, and am scared of making some irreversible change to something that works well.) Thank you for whatever information you may be able to offer. quaco |

QUOTE (quaco @ Feb 16 2006, 14:56) So maybe the better idea is to get OSX, but keep the OS9 on there as well, solely for running my Pro Tools LE. Or are you saying my computer will have a tough time with OSX anyway? (Sorry for all the questions...) Well, I've found that - for example - running OSX Panther on a G3 500MHz laptop was just about acceptable for basic use, but way too slow for running audio software such as ProTools LE. I was running OSX Panther from an external firewire drive, booting it as a startup drive, as I wanted to preserve my original OS9 install on the G3's drive rather than have OSX 'upgrade' it to OS9 "Classic" - which is not the same thing as OS9.2. thereason was because i was running other audio apps that required OS9.2. Also, I didn't have much space left to install OSX anyway! Suggest visiting Digidesign site and checking the compatibility info for the Digi 001 system here This post has been edited by ianstonehouse: Thu 16 Feb 2006, 16:26 |
