Go, Go, Snow Leopard...

After a morning's worth of testing, I think we can say with certainty that the entire Audio Damage product line works without issue in OS X 10.6.0. There may be minor problems here and there that I can't find, but my general impression is that everything is fine.

I can't, of course, speak to your audio hardware or your DAW. You'll have to find that out on your own. And if you've got a show this weekend with your laptop and you upgrade to 10.6 today, you richly deserve any trouble you may experience. When one is an audio professional, one approaches any and all upgrades with extreme trepidation.

As much as I would like to, I'm not touching 10.6 until it's been thoroughly tested with all my hardware and plugins. I don't have any shows or anything, I just don't want the headache when I currently have the most stable system I've had in a long time.

Yeah. Nothing wrong with the later 10.5 iterations. My personal recommendation, based upon the problems I know about and my own experiences, is to run 10.5.8 until you can't stand it any more.

not that i'm much into lurking on pages watching updates stream across but there is a page dedicated to centralizing compatibility information with SL.

We're installing snow 30 macs at my collage as part of a major refurbishment - one week before student induction............
Wish I felt at least a little bit confident ha ha

Definitely not going 10.6 till the dust settles and it is oh so solid...

I have a new Mac Pro tower arriving soon. My G5 is retiring...

Not looking forward to the migration. A whole day installing all my applications and plug-ins... then authorizing. Argggg...

Isn't 10.6 the first OS that won't work on non-Intel machines? If so it should be pretty zippy. Too bad for me I'm still on my G5 10.4.11, but it's stable.

I'm also 10.4.11 on a G5. In fact I've barely used 10.5, not at home or any of the studios I work at. I've crossed some threshold where I went from installing new software the day it came out and lusting after new computers, to "I don't want a new computer, please don't make me". Actually I wish we'd all just agree to stop development on computers and all tech stuff. I think we have everything we need already.

Hugo, I'm presuming you bought the computer before today, right? Apple generally has a policy of sending the computer with only the latest OS. Meaning any computer bought after today would come with 10.6 and nothing but. At least that's the way it used to work when I last bought a Mac, which was a little more than a year ago. There was no "going back" for new computers.

I have 10.5.whatever on my macbook and my G5. Im kinda bummed, that I can't update the G5. It officially just became old tech.

Im interested in Snow Leopard, but at the same time I just really don't care.

I'm with bongo_x. 10.4.11 is stable so I never upgraded. I also have a nice G4 I picked up for $30 because 9.2.2 is stable and hosts my Korg OASYS PCI card. When I finally get a new Mac, I'll probably just put it alongside the G4 and G5.

P.S. Adam, do you have any secret OASYS Synthkit patches lying on a dusty shelf?
