Anyone using Snow Leapod yet?

Thinking about getting this upgrade as its so cheap. Wouldn’t mind hearing some feedback first though.


should be getting it as soon as howard grabs me a copy lol

I dont think im gonna update yet. Ableton is saying to wait as is alot of other software manufacturers.

its always good to wait a few months to start with

Very true. I dont think its that big of an update though to effect your system that much. Just afew tweaks.



Cant beat that price though.

i like the bit that says theoretically with the new 64 bit technology it should be capable of using 16 billion gigs or memory

My Mac Book Pro hasn’t shipped yet because they held it back until Snow Leopard was rolled out. I take it there are h/ware & s/ware compatibility issues?

If you want to try it out, it’s worth sticking it onto a second drive (e.g. an external Firewire one), especially if you’re wanting to test it with hardware/software that’s not been given the all-clear by the maker.



Then if it all goes tits-up, you just fall-back to your current working system. :slight_smile:

Hey mrk. Welcome to the forum!



Good idea too! :smiley:

My housemates got it and says its awesome!!

Hey Roben, are your roomates running Ableton?

Cheers for the welcome.



I should have added that I bunged Snow Leopard onto my MBP at the weekend. Seems like a nice update (as I was coming from Tiger). I’ve only had a chance to run up Logic 9 (bought the upgrade at the same time as Snow Leopard). Fired up the demo song from the Killers and played it through. Seemed to work okay, thought took an absolute age to load the tracks up. On the plus side, I didn’t get any core overload errors from Logic 9 despite the massive amount of stuff going on in the demo.



Not had a chance to try any of my usual plugs (Zebra 2, Sylenth1, Virus TI Snow) or to fire up Ableton.



Am also keeping Snow Leopard off my Mac Pro for now - no word yet on how my Saffire Pro 40 will work with it, so I’m keeping that machine stable for the time-being.



PS - I clean installed Snow Leopard on the MBP - after 2 years I felt it could do with a freshen up rather than a straight upgrade.



Cheers,



Maurice
