Thanks for the info, sorry for asking my question again slightly differently. But for people that have a Mac with Silicon (where the OS actually supports spatial audio and head tracking), does Logic still act the same as it does for me, without those things? i.e. would having a more updated mac provide a more convincing surround experience when using Airpods Max? Or is Logic the same (surround quality wise) regardless of the kind of mac hardware in use? (obviously, this is all in the context of spatial audio). Thanks

Yeah, I was able to do that, but since the OS in general isn't saying "spatial audio" for the Airpods Max (apparently, you need a Mac with silicon to do spatial audio), I'm wondering if I'm hearing things differently than someone where the OS actually supports spatial audio. I can drag a track in the mixer up and down in the little cube/head thing, and I hear it changing, but it doesn't seem as "drastically above" me like when I watch a spatial audio movie in iTunes, for example. Hence, my worry that my imac is not really doing spatial audio at all.

Title pretty much says it all. I finally updated to 10.7.4 today and Monterey, and I am able to connect my Airpods Max but obviously I can't do head-tracking since it's an older iMac (bummer). But, can I still do Atmos and spatial audio mixing with the Airpods Max?

Thanks again. Yeah, I am doing the OS upgrade now. I named each volume in my internal SSD with very obvious names. Plus, I have a ton of time machine backups in case something really goes wrong.

So I was a bit impatient (sorry!) and here's what I did: I created a new volume on my internal ssd (which had plenty of space) I booted up into recovery mode and did a "restore" from the most recent time machine backup I had, to that new volume. When I press "option" and boot up, I can choose between both (the original and the copy). This should be ok, right? I could go ahead and upgrade the OS on the new (restored to) volume? Thanks again

Follow up question: Would there be a way to clone my existing OS/logic install to this new drive, and then upgrade everything on that new drive? Easier than installing everything from scratch.

Nice - is there a simple tutorial on how to do this? For example, what drive do I switch to? Do I use an external drive? Or partition my existing internal drive? Would someone be able to help me through the process?

Hi all...apologies if this has been covered already, I don't frequent this forum very much. I currently am running Mojave and logic 10.5 on my 2017 iMac. That setup works great, everything is configured as I like it, all my plugins work, etc. I would very much like to run the latest logic and play around with Spatial audio, etc. And I realize I have to upgrade macOS (and lose 32-bit support, etc). Is there a way to easily do dual boot? Or something else that would allow me to keep running my 10.5 install just the way it is (and have all my old legacy plugins work) AND run the latest logic on a newer macOS? Thanks all, Chris

No, unfortunately, the about box for logic still says 10.5.

Hmmm, maybe I wasn't patient enough...when I went into the app store, it said "your apps are all up to date".

Hi all, I have mojave still, so obviously can't install 10.6. But I currently have 10.5. How do I update to 10.5.1? Thanks, Chris

I'm on Mojave latest. Logic 10.5. Only certain presets in MX 1.3 crash (like Apricot Pop, or the first patch listed in "New in 1.3.0" - the second I press a key on my midi controller, logic crashes).

I realized I forgot to mention. With 1.3, it's crashing on certain sounds (including ones that I've used in projects I've done). That's the main reason, currently, I want to go back to 1.2.

Hi all, I installed Massive X 1.3.0 along with the Factory Library. In 1.2.0, everything worked fine. In 1.3.0, I can't see any presets (even after rescanning). I tried to completely remove (by hand) my 1.3.0 install and go back to 1.2.0. However, even after cleaning off everything I could find, when running the 1.2.0 install it still said "upgrade" (instead of "install"). Any ideas for how I can go back to a clean 1.2.0 install? I thought of Time Machine, but I did a ton of other installs and upgrades yesterday, and don't really want to revert all those. Thanks, Chris

I know it's possible to do this, so I duplicated LogicProX.app and renamed the duplicate (the .app is one 2GB entry in the Finder, but I presume that actually "points" to multiple places on the disk (maybe not)). I haven't updated to 10.5 yet. Questions: 1) If I have two versions (10.4.8 and 10.5) and I download new downloadable content in 10.5 (like new loops that Apple has provided), does 10.4.8 have access to that content? 2) Can I switch back and forth between the two versions without any real issue or worry? It's possible I may have some projects done in 10.4.8 that I wouldn't try to load in 10.5. I would keep things segregrated, I guess it's similar to my question #1...for the resources on the disk that logic uses, will all of that work well between the two versions? Thanks, Chris
