The Leopard Compatibility Thread, If it works or not Options

[lepetitmartien]

So…

mLAN doesn't work at all, don't even think of it.

Some are experiencing issues with PT LE… so… (whatever the way Leopard is being installed on the drive) Save if it's PRO TOOLS LE 7.3cs5 and you install this After an OS clean install of course, with an Mbox one. Rewire is fine. Plug-ins list to follow.

Now : PT works only with USB audio interfaces, not the Firewire ones.

On DP the plot thickens, some issues have arisen as you can see on unicornation.

As a reminder : DO MAKE A CLEAN INSTALL if you want to try of your apps/interfaces are fine. No OS upgrade, and avoid archive/reinstall.

- Clone your system drive, and verify the clone (that it boots)
- format the future Leopard drive (you'll lost data on it, beware)
- install Leopard on it.
- Import back your accounts.

Avoid any adds-on to the system, if you have some upgrade to the latest version or uninstall them if you have too.

Users of Unsanity software application Enhancer version 2.01 should uninstall it or upgrade to 2.03 (it won't boot on Leopard, but the 2.01 is the Blue Screen Of Death assured)

Sibelius in its 5.1 glory runs smoothly, you can even preview scores in Quicklook! Thanks to laprot!

Or . . . Just wait ! Apple employees themselves have reported to me that a 3-6 month window is at minimum the earliest I should upgrade to leopard. With such important systems ( to me ) in my studio being business critical, I can't imagine why anyone would want to sacrifice practically ALL of their software just for an Apple OS system ( albeit cool ). Just wait until 10.5.2 or 10.5.3 is out -- which, incidently, is already being worked on -- as well as the digi boys and propellerhead and NI to get it together -- Dec / Jan looks like the time.

PS - Jan 14th is always a good time to look into purchasing at Apple ( and not a whole lot earlier )java script:emoticon(':cool:',%20'smid_5')

"fishboisfo" Amen.

[lepetitmartien]

Sure, I'm all for it too, (waiting 10.5.1) as my critical use for now is not dependant of anything save Safari and Mail Now if some can't get along with the "if it ain't broken don't fix it" way of not upgrading a system, we have to tell them on which software it is…

My m-audio radium 49 keyboard ceased to be recognized after installing Leopard. Waiting on M-Audio to update the drivers.

Amplitube 2, DrumCore, and Melodyne Studio (standalone) all work fine.

Metasynth 4 gives an audio error when trying to playback a sound. U&I is aware of it, but no timetable for a fix.


I did an Upgrade to Leopard without any issues. Clean Install is so '90's.

I did a lot of upgrades in the last month. I got a new iMac with iLife '08 and then I did the Leopard upgrade.
With the "upgrade" to iLife'08. I noticed I lost all of my third party AU instruments and most third party effects. with the GB 4.1 update I was expecting those to be restored. I do now have Crystal and Automat back, but Remedy and Turntabelist are listed but don't work and And a whole bunch like Sampletank2, Linnplug don't even show up. Same with a bunch of AU effects( I Need my Monsta Chorus)
WTF? I surprised that this isn't a major headline. I've got tons of old songs that use specific AU instruments. They won't play anymore, which is really bad, if I need to go back and do a remix on a song. And I can't compose new music using instruments that I've purchased to work with GB?
Please someone tell me there's a work around, until Apple and the third parties get on the same Audio Unit page.
Oh and don't try to load a GB4 project into Logic Express 7. You'll get an error. And Logic also is having a hard time finding apple loops.

My Radium 49 keyboard ceased to be recognized with the Leopard Upgrade. But M-audio IS owned by Digi now So I expect there to be a six month lag in drivers. I hope I'm wrong 'cause having no Midi keyboard is a serious dent in any music making.
So on many fronts the GB4 and Leopard migration is a mess. I was also hoping to upgrade to Logic studio 8. Hmm, I think I'll wait a little bit

My suggestion, go back to your previous system until the "Bugs" are worked out.

Sorry to hear what has happened. I'm feeling ya bro. Damnnnnnnn!

Hi,
I've installed Roxio Jam, for burning gapless splitted compilation with no glitch as Toast does not do it (upsetting) and under Leopard it gave me an error:
"The currently selected recorder has a minimum pause of 2 sectors between audio tracks. Shorter pauses will be padded to the minimum length"
and than:
"Couldn't dermine the free space on the disc".

I'm a simple user, just wanted a simple application for doing that, now i don't even have that.
