DP 5.13 and Snow Leopard

Post by Tritonemusic »

Is anyone having success with this combo? I'm currently using DP 5.13 with OS 10.5.8 and it's working swimmingly. However, I'd like to update to Snow Leopard but am not ready to upgrade to DP7. Any success/horror stories?

I haven't tried it personally, or heard any anecdotes about it. DP 6.02 or later is required for 10.6 according to MOTU, so if you have any issues it would be tough to get tech support with an unsupported version.

I've been using it. Works great. Although, I have DP7 installed now, and I'm in the process of changing everything over. Not erasing 5.13 just yet though :)

YMMV widely! For some, it's working great, but be aware of these warnings:

Will crash if you attempt to load an unsupported AU/VST (remove from system library) also, may have issues with files saved before OS upgrade.

From this site (with a lot of useful info about other apps in 10.6.x):

Well, it looks like hit-or-miss. Maybe I'll just hold off until after the New Year and upgrade to DP7. I just can't jeopardize the projects I'm currently working on.

Thanks for your input, guys.
