bit of advice? thinking of upgrading to leopard

im thinking of upgrading to leopard from tiger...question? what are the benefits from doing so.. my G5 is running grand as it is while using logic 8.0.2..is it worth spending the money on it?

I did this a while ago.

No big problems, but I prefer Tiger!

I'm sure I'll get used to Leopard though.

I'm not a big fan og the fanning effect from the dock.

 

If you use Spectronics software (I use Trilogy) it'll say it fails the Audio Unit manager test- but it SEEMS to work OK. You'll get the "Failed" message everytime you run Logic.

 

Unless there's a particular feature of Leopard you want, probably worth sticking with Tiger?

Only one opinion!

I've recently i upgraded to Leopard with Logic 8. So far so good.

I had a number of other softwares and drivers that needed updates, otherwise they would not work. I do like a lot of the new features, but I don't like that they took away the embeded play bar for audio files in Finder. You can still play them there, just can't see the progress.

 

My advice is get a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner (shareware)

and clone your Tiger system drive to a firewire drive.

 

Then you can boot from Tiger clone drive at anytime if you run in to a problem.

I keep my project files on a separate drive.

This way you have a safety net.

Select the file in the Finder and hit the space bar and the quick view windows pops up with a progress bar
