I just installed it, opened logic, everything worked fine.

Nice.

So what are the upgrades then?

well, i'm still on logic 8 and everything is the same. I noticed when opened it up a message came that said its gonna scan for audio units because of increased stability from snow. Other than that i noticed higher resolution and navigating through the menus is much faster.

Yes, please let us know if your system is any more stable or seems to run any faster. I still get frequent CPU spikes when I run a lot of plugins and Software Instruments at once.

I'll probably go ahead and upgrade my MacBook Pro tonight. I don't really produce on that machine, but it should give a good feel for any overall OS performance upgrades.

everything is running smooth, importing, exporting and bouncing is alot faster. No problems running multiple instruments at once. Can't wait to try traktor scratch with the new OS.

Originally posted by Eric J I'll definitely buy it when it comes out, but it will be some time before I actually install the upgrade. I was on Tiger until a couple of months ago, and I expect to follow the same upgrade path with this version. It will likely be some time until all 3rd party plugins I use are compatible, and I hesitate to install anything .0 until there have been some service releases. Your music workstation is not the place to be running cutting edge software if you have any interest in getting work done.

The thing is, it´s more like a optimization rather than an upgrade. As far as I´ve read, there´s no added functionality, so there shouldn´t be anything to conflict with plugins etc.
Most software people are out, saying they don´t think there will be any issues, but there will be, they´ll have an update ready in 1-2 days.

Just got back from PC World. First thing I noticed was the lack of Preferences in Quicktime X. I asked the Apple Geek where they were and he didn't know. Just did a quick search and lots of people have noticed the same thing.

Seems rather odd. Is this a bug or is there some reason for it ?

yeah they took it out, wut the hell

i was going to buy it today, but it was pouring all day so driving 2 hours to a location that usually takes 30 minutes to get to was out of the question. i was even more bummed there is no digital download of the update available
