The issue is, from my perspective is that pro musicians are a tiny proportion of sales for Apple, compared to iPhone users and stuff like business software on the Mac. Like yourself, I’ve been doing this for a long time and before I was involved with Apple, I was working in pro audio selling and fitting out recording studios. Oh I get that, just a lot of the software companies for pro audio just don’t have the resources to turn apps around in the time allotted. That’s November 12, 2020, around 6 pm UK time.
#Logic tool for mac for free
You can download the new Apple operating system macOS 11 Big Sur for free from the App Store starting this evening.
You can also check out my article here on basic things to do to make your current Mac system work smoothly for music production. As usual, testimonials from first-time users arrive very quickly and manufacturers of hardware and software are gradually releasing their updates for their products. We advise professional users to wait a few weeks or even months until officially supported updates have been made available. Only then can you go back to the previous version in the event of problems.
#Logic tool for mac update
If you want to update anyway – evn though we don’t recommend it at this point – you need to create a backup of your system before you start. UPDATE 13/11 – Apple released Logic Pro X 10.6 today CompatibilityĪll MacBooks from 2015, MacBook Air from late 2013, Mac mini from 2014, iMac from 2014, iMac Pro from 2014 and Mac Pro from 2013 are compatible with the new OS. That’s a bind for anyone working with high-end video applications. And you won’t be able to use Boot Camp to launch into a Windows environment, or use external GPUs. Remember that Apple has announced a Logic Pro X version for the M1 chips – 10.6 – that is not yet released. These will ship with Big Sur and owners won’t be able to downgrade to the previous version. Are they ready yet? If not, then don’t do it yet.Ī problem will arise for anyone that has just ordered a new M1 ARM-based Mac. My advice as always, check with all the software and hardware companies you use and have installed on your current system. But today my advice is to steer clear and let it mature a while before you make the jump. That’s not to say that 11 won’t be great in the long term.
If your system is working, stay away from Bug Sur for now! Updating unsupported software will more than likely mess up all your plugins, audio editors and DAWs. No pro audio software has been fully tested yet.
#Logic tool for mac upgrade
My inbox is already full of manufacturers and software developers warning me not to upgrade today – for good reason. I vividly remember the original Rosetta making a real mess of audio applications, plug-ins and pro apps, so I doubt very much that Rosetta 2 will have resolved these conversion issues. Unless you only work on the computer with Apple’s own software without additional plug-ins and without hardware. Unfortunately, this has not yet been tested. For this reason, now is not a good time for musicians, music and video producers to switch to Big Sur. Apple has announced Rosetta 2, a “converter” that can run apps that have not yet been converted to their new ARM computers. But what about audio hardware and software? Apple M1 it offers so much, but can we trust it as musicians? Rosetta 2 – Here we go againīig Sur is still compatible with the current Intel generation of CPUs.
