cool, hope it does!
Another question - any idea the lowest specification Mac you can run Logic on.
I have an old but almost totally unused Mac G5 (think its the powerMac) - Original OS, think its 9 or possibly 10, but I do know I have never updated.
I purchased it in 2005 to run specific Mac only software for a project I was involved with, which as it turns out only lasted a short while.
So it sits in my studio, looking cool, dude, but doing nothing!!

Hard to tell w/o trying. That being said, by a process of elimination/deduction, I'll tell you this:
My 2010 MacBook Pro didn't get along too well with the more recents version of OSX (10.8 aka
Mountain Lion and 10.9 aka
Mavericks). If I knew then what I know now, I would NEVER have upgraded from OSX 10.6
Snow Leopard. That's when the issues started.
If I'm not mistaken, Logic X requires OSX 10.8 (Maverick) or later. That's what was on my iMac when I got it last fall and I'm never upgrading.
Typically, those new OS aren't as efficient as Mac OS was reputed to be back in the Steve Jobs era, when you could hook up the shiny new Mac you'd just brought from the Mac Store and start making music w/o tweaking anything. You can definitely optimize a couple of things.
So it could maybe work, depending if the hardware is supported by recent OS revisions and if you have lots of RAM to accommodate those.
If I had such a machine, I'd probably use it to run legacy software, something that's a more bit contemporary to the computer. I don't think I'd try anything more recent than Logic 9 (which is still the most solid DAW I've worked with incidentally.
Mac computers are usually built to last. So now I see them as a close-end system, something that runs its contemporary software and will keep on running it for a long, long time. As I said before - my brother in law is still running his Pro Tools TDM studio on an old G4 he bought circa 2003-04. He simply added a more recent MacBook Pro to host virtual instruments and such, but is main workstation is still going strong after all those years.
