Hi Rain ,
what did you do exactly ?
did you upgrade your OS to Mavericks and then decide to upgrade to Logic X ?
that's what I'm guessing from your opening post …..
I'm sticking w OSX 10.7.5 and Logic 9 on my Mac….it runs great as it is now.
our situations may be different , my Mac is a few years older than yours and at its current spec it may be a little anemic to make that leap ...
good luck ….as far as I'm concerned , we are still gonna be brothers bound by the power of the ESX 24 ….

Yes we'll be. :)
I upgraded form my original 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) to Mountain Lion, which broke a few things for me, then to Mavericks hoping that it'd fix those things but only made them worst.
The reason I upgraded my OS was mainly that I had plug-ins upgrades available, for which Snow Leopard wasn't supported.
Prior to that, I'd never had issues with Logic, except when using POD Farm. But now it was lagging like I've never seen.
If not for that, I doubt I'd have upgraded anytime soon. In fact, I was planning on having my next machine run Snow Leopard just to keep on using Logic 9.
But as long as I was stuck on Mavericks, I thought I'd try Logic X to see whether it ran any better under Mavericks, and so far, it really seems to.
Hi Rain ,
Oh, I got it …I thought it may of been something along those lines ...
I'm not able to run the Cakewalk synths Dimension Pro or Rapture on my OSX machine …
I do miss them over here ……..thankfully the Z3TA+ 2 installed fine and runs great ...
X3 came with a version of Melodyne and Addictive Drums . I wound up picking up Addictive Keys on my own XLN gave me a free copy of Nectar Elements as a perk ….
all those apps weren't tied into just X3 or just Windows so I wound up porting them over to my Mac as my secondary machine / license…..
that has certainly helped ease the pain of losing the Dim Pro and Rapture in the OSX envirionment
it actually brought a lot of cool stuff over to my Mac
thats pretty cool that you now have Logic X , it's nice that your machine seems able to run it .
that will give you a good chance to get a decent head start on learning how to use what's different in Logic X ...
in your case I think that you already have a lot of safety nets ...
Logic X is an app , correct me if I'm wrong ….
as an app , Logic X is tied to your app store acct and the liscensing there is a lot more liberal than what I have with the boxed set version of Logic 9 Pro …i think I get 2 installs before they start to give me $hit ..
with the app store I think your license is tied to your acct and you are allowed multiple installs / reinstalls ?
plus you have the time machine back up as an option …yes ? no ?
something to consider is what Craig Anderton talks about in some of his online articles and posts ...
Craig has mentioned a few times on the board that he has back up hard drives that he swaps out ..as a fail safe measure , or when he needs to revert back to a different operating system and an older version of a DAW software application ….
that may be something that you can consider …
in that type of scenario I think you may be able to run your older more stable OS for your Logic 9 on a seperate HD and keep what you love about that OS and be able to run your Cakewalk synths Dim Pro and Rapture …
then use a separate HD with Mavericks and run Logic X ….
taking it in a different direction , it might even be possible to partition your HD or a new bigger one to where you may want be able to run both OS's and have them both live together in peace ….
honestly Rain , I'm not a computer guy …yet some of the above mentioned suggestions may be worth investigating ...
if you happen to run into unforseen problems or if you just miss things the way they were
BTW...this link may or not be applicable to your situation , if not it may lead to one that may
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13871 anyways here's a short summary of what happened to me in windows
I spent the greater part of this year wrestling w my new W 8 lap top , software and brand new sound card .
it was a last ditch effort on my part when I finally asked for help and got it upstairs in the X forum ….
I bring that up since I do understand how it feels to go and do what appears to be a logical upgrade all across the board and then have a multitude of unforeseen issues become absolute show stoppers …..
I didn't think I would ever see the day when my new set up run correctly …
thank fully that day did come and people helped me get there ..i would not of been able to do it on my own ….
nice rapping w you …good luck
Kenny
