Bapu Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I've uninstalled everything music related on my mid-2012 Mac Pro. The machine is forever limited to Catalina OS. I really never used it beyond testing cross platform DAWs. So I'm now back to Windows 10 only DAWs. Never got on with Logic 9 anyway, and the machine was not compatible with Logic 10.

It's still on Win10, but it is still very usable. I have CW installed on it and ED3, EZB, EZK, BiaB, and all of AAS stuff along with other plugins. Works fine as a scratch pad while I am at work. Take it on vacations with us. I'm still getting my money's worth out of it. Looking at a Surface Pro 9. They got one with an i7 1255U at Bestbuy for around $1600. The Surface 3 I got now has 2 cores 4 threads and does everything I want it too. And I have never reinstalled Windows in it since I got it. It came with Win8 with a free upgrade to 10. Have been updating it ever since. Really have gotten good service for it. Drawing on it is so much fun!! Edited December 16, 2022 by Grem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee that sounds like a step up from where I was when I read your post . Long story short ...for the past week I have been using only my 2007 Mac Book ... It's locked in on Snow Leopard ...Any way after I read your post I had to shut it down and enlist a windows lap top because I was not able to sign in here while using the out dated Mac Book . .... ?

Rain Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Ah, Snow Leopard + Logic 9 - my all-time favorite combo. I've kept 9 installed on my iMac for as long as the OS upgrades allowed it. Took me quite a bit of time to fully transition to 10, and I always liked to work in 9 every chance I got. I'm still running it on my 2010 MBP. Never had any issue with it - works just as fine as the day I unboxed the laptop and installed the software I'd be curious to see how it runs on a Mac Pro.

Not sure what year and model, but it was a small, black and white Mac just like that. Actually, her parents had a bunch of them around the house - her dad picked them up from the CBC when they upgraded their computers. And we inherited one. I still remember that noisy old printer that came with it... I never actually used it, other than to proofread her homework. I didn't believe in computers back then.

I happen to like this humble combination of Logic 9 and Snow Leopard . It is as reliable a combination as you have mentioned and I always enjoy myself when ever I take a break from Windows and use my 15 year old Mac .

craigb Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Before the company I worked for back when Macs first came out hired a true Apple guy, I had to support them along with mainframe systems. I did have some fun though by replacing many of the default Mac sounds with my own stuff! ? I replaced the duck quack with me saying "quack!" for example. Cracked my secretary up. (Yes, this is back when people had secretaries and not "administrative assistants!") Good times. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny My 2010 MBP running Logic 9 a few years back after I had to uninstall it from my main DAW and I was testing it with my NI interface. It just feels so streamlined and so darn fast. Plus, I spent so much time studying for the certifications that I know it like the back of my hand, like it's an extension of my brain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
