anp27 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 ...did you also implement the new file system?...and if so, what procedure did you follow?...tia.../s~ If you have an SSD installed, it will automatically default to the new file system. You can choose to use the new file system for spinning drives. I've converted my non SSD which holds all of my samples (Kontakt libraries, etc) to the new file system without any problems.

stratquebec Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 SSD or mechanical will be ok with the new file system but SSD and mechanical, read fusion drive will not, at least, not yet. https://www.macrumors.com/2017/09/18/apple-files-system-no-fusion-drive-support/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashermusic Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Since it has gone Gold Master and will be released in a few days, I installed the High Sierra beta. Logic does seem a little snappier graphically under it perhaps or is this just placebo effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesK Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 If I install High Sierra on a second partition and keep my El Capitan on the first partition will High Sierra modify my file system on my external hard drive where I have all my Logic songs/loops? If it does will my El Capitan boot read it properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 High Sierra will only convert your system drive automatically (if SSD) so you don't have to worry about this. If in doubt you can disconnect our external drive prior to the update. For you out there that want to upgrade to macOS 10.13 High Sierra but don't want to change the file system from HFS+ to APFS you can try this: Download High Sierra from the Mac App Store. Quit the installer when it prompts you to install. Launch the Terminal and type the following:/Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/startosinstall --converttoapfs NO Proceed with the install.

Ashermusic Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Eric, I see the option to "Convert to AFPS" for all my drives except for my boot drive, which is a fusion drive. Would you recommend manually converting them or just leaving them as they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Yeah, Jay - I don't think Fusion Drives are supported by AFPS yet (which I think you know about). I am wondering too if it makes sense to convert external SSD drives (I.e. sample drives). Which seems to me gains you all the speed of AFPS - so I think it would make sense. But perhaps not? I am waiting a bit to update to HS, as I have a couple things to finish first. But sometime next month I will make the jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splaaat Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Since, I didn't have any active projects, I made the jump to High Sierra Installation went smooth, all my audio stuff seems to be working fine. Off the 330 plugins, only 2 plugins from Sinevibes didn't validate correctly in LPX. High Sierra cleared up about 5GB extra space from Sierra. I usually wait about 6 months, but this update seems to have far less issues with the transition. I hope this trend continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 so... now that 10.13 is here, and running well on my macbook pro, seems time to dive back into the betas (insert maniacal grin here). just updated to 10.13.1 public beta 1, and all is well (so far)... am working in LX right now...

anp27 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Just wanted to add that I'm on the 10.3.1 beta too and have no problems with any of the third party companies that Fisherking has mentioned, plus I use the Universal Audio stuff and have zero problems.
