Yanizle Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Hi everyone, I have an early jan 2008 Mac Pro with 32g of ram and solid state main drive and running OS 10.10. Im running into issues of my current OS not being current enough to keep up with plugin updates and ap updates. I want to avoid crashes and spinning wheel of death and have the most solid, smooth set up as possible which is why I'm not updating. So, with that being said... Who has a similar older computer running logic smoothly and staying somewhat current with OS and is able to use the latest logic or what is the stablest logic version for an older computer like mine? What Logic and OS X versions are you guys having success with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaMag8 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Hi. I am running a 2008 iMac, using Logic X. I updated the system to Yosemite. No issues here although the computer runs a little slower than the newer models. On another iMac, same specs, I installed Logic Pro X and Sierra. It works great.

triplets Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I have an early jan 2008 Mac Pro with 32g of ram and solid state main drive and running OS 10.10. I don't think your machine will benefit from newer OSX versions, I think it will actually run slower. I run El Capitan on a 2009 8-core, which already is much better than a 2008 from the internal architecture. I tried Sierra on it, but it ran slower so I reverted back. But you can try El Capitan 10.11 if you have the installer. That way you can run the latest Logic. I would definitely avoid Sierra for your machine.

Yanizle Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Yes It seems from my teaching out, 10.11.6 with logic is the way to go. Thank you for your responses. Much Appreciated. Best Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
