Does Live work with Leopard?
just wondering if anyone knows if I should bother buying Leopard. I don't know if Live will work with it yet
Ya, that's what the Apple store people say too. I just bought the Family Pack of Leopard, but I'm gonna wait until I hear something from Ableton about it before I install it. Anyone out there who works for Ableton? I have a version 7 beta, but it expires next week and everyone is saying that 6 doesn't work with Leopard.
On one of the other threads in this forum (general) there is a lenghty debate on this where poeple are saying that Live works fine... if you wipe your drive, reformat, and do a clean install of Leopard...
Wow... I a film post pro, and I don't really have the time to re-install the 100+ applications, and the 100+ Plugins on my drive, then re-authorize all of them...
And half of the programs (ie. Pro Tools etc.) still don't work in Leopard...
Here is what I do...
I have a seperate drive in my G5, and it has been CCC'd (carbon copy cloned)
with my primary drive... I keep it like this, so that if I'm working on a film, and
my main Drive dies, I can restart using the "mirror" drive...
This HD had Tiger on it till yesterday... I put the new OS on it, using "upgrade" not clean install, and I restart using the drive with the New OS, in this case Leopard... I test each of my programs, and whatever does or does not work I make a note of it...
Over the next several months, which is about how long it takes, I periodically do a check of my checklist, and see which programs have been updated...
After a while, everything works fine, and the next time I restart, I use the Leopard Drive...
I will use the Leopard Dive as the primary Drive, and keep the old system intact on the other Drive, because I know that it works, no problems...
I've done this Leapfrog procedure since OSX 10.2, and it works seemlessly, and only a small amount of time is required each week to do the update check...

Live itself is working fine here. But some people are having issues with ReWire stopping their various audio applications from working (and causing all out crashes).
For me though the problem though is my firewire interface - it's visible, the OS, Control Panel and various audio softwares all see it, but there is no audio signal itself either from or to the device. I've sent the vendor's customer support an email detailing the problem and hopefully they'll be able to fix it shortly (I'm almost certain it's a CoreAudio driver issue).

And this comes from CDM...
Oh, yeah, and one other important thing: this is the first Mac OS X update that really doesn’t benefit music users, at least not out of the box. (There are some driver changes, but I don’t think there are yet devices that take advantage of them.) It’s actually good news, in that Core Audio and Core MIDI are mature at this point — you don’t want to regularly update the music and audio plumbing. But that means Tiger will be just fine for some time.
