cheeserandyburg Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Is there any specific version (update) of Snow Leopard that you guys find more reliable for audio work? Just did a fresh install I'm at 10.6.3. So I have a nice chance to update to whatever I wish. Heard some PT users have issues with 10.6.8... Been running 10.6.7 previously fairly ok. Any personal preferences? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 In the studio it's 10.6.8 with 9.1.5 and at home it's 10.6.6 with 9.1.4. Both work with no probs whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeserandyburg Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 In addition, In regards to your music machine at the studio or at home: Do you avoid installing third party software like skype, msn, whatnot to avoid any problems with your machine? or do you not pay much attention to things like that? I've always read that "install what you need" rule. It makes alot of sense and is easier for trouble shooting if a problem ever arises.

Jordi Torres Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 There's a difference between installing software unrelated to music making...and running this software while making music. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. I don't mean running it during music making. But just having it on the music making computer in general. Personally I would keep it off for a few reasons. 1. Avoid unnecessary crap getting installed and taking up space. 2. If any problems arise you can quickly narrow the issues down instead of removing those applications one by one to see if they had anything to do with it. I'm sure there's other reasons aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I've relied on Skype before when working long-distance with someone. It hasn't killed my computer yet. I know others that use it too. For the same purposes. If you don't know what gets installed and what runs and when in your computer, then don't install stuff you don't absolutely need. You need to be in control. Having said all this...it still isn't (OSX) anything like Windows, where you need to prune the OS to get the best performance possible. J.

triplets Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I pay attention to the stuff that could conflict with Logic, especially when I have it working nicely: New OS, like people jumping on Lion when it just comes out. New OS update New Logic version New interface drivers New 3rd party stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
