I use Logic, and Digital Performer, and Final Cut, and Ableton, and none of these have these issues.
The arrogance of Avid and Digidesign is astonishing. |
Ah, the ol' digi backlash.
As for your situation, actually the solution could be re-install 10.5.7 couldn't it? no cash required...
It's hardly Digi's fault if the OP didn't read the system specs and realise they needed Leopard to run PT8. It's been clearly advertised.
FWIW there's a pre-release (8.0.3pr)for Snow Leopard that works ok according to most. I for one would rather a manufacturer states something ISN'T supported than say it is when it doesn't work properly (yet). Everyone complains about how digi software requires this and that...and yet, when you actually set it up like they recommend...hey! it works! it doesn't crash! Again, I'd prefer that the other manufacurers did this, then, maybe they'd be a bit more stable too.
Digi also has never claimed not to have other MUSIC software installed - there's never been a problem having Logic, Ableton, Reason etc on the same machine. And actually for macs...any software really! if only Microsoft didn't break things routinely with crap like IE8, then all would be fine.
It's hardly surprising Logic already supports Snow leopard - it's made by the same company! Maybe they had access to the OS ahead of time?! And still it's bug ridden and crash prone!
PT8 runs fine on G5.
I thank you for listening.
