SargamStudio Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Dear music family. I have a MacBook Pro ver. 10.14.6 (18G9323) Mojave. I am using Logic Pro X Ver. 10.5.1 Question: Is there a higher version of Logic Pro X Available compatible with my OS? Is there any value for me to software upgrade to Catalina? Any downside? People scare me to do this software upgrade. (IDK) Secondly, what is the latest version of Logic Pro and what kind of MacBook do I need?

The current version is LPX v.10.7.7. Please refer to the speadsheet link above for the required macOS requirement or to the published system requirement and to the related release note for details regarding the new features. Be aware that old plugins may no longer be compatible with the latest version (of Logic, macOS or new Mac M1/2 chip). Backing up your current version of Logic is highly recommended.

Is there any new feature in Logic that you desperately need to keep making music and you don't have with your current version? If the answer is no, then don't upgrade. If everything works now for you, enjoy that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are considering upgrading your MacBook then I strongly recommend going Apple Silicon, so at least an M1 processor if buying used. Otherwise just about any M2 machine will do.

People scare me to do this software upgrade. (IDK) I've used Mojave for years also, I really like it simply for the fact that 32bit Legacy plugins will still work under Logic 10.4.4: The jump over to Apple Silicon is not a small one, it takes a great deal of time and energy to make the switch. Night and day comparison actually in terms of performance, depending on your musical needs of course? No regret making the transition, it's performance is staggering compared to the 2018 Mac mini I use and does the double duty of making thunderbolt interfaces I own soar to new heights never before possible.
