Native Instruments has discovered an issue where running 64-bit versions of their applications with Mac OS 10.7 will cause a crash. To make /Users/Library visible, hold down the “Option/Alt” key, and choose “Go to Library” in the Go menu of the Finder. This should not affect most users, but in certain cases you may need to access these folders directly. Lion compatibility for versions of Live prior to Live 8 is under consideration but is not currently planned.Ībleton also informed us of some changes to the OS X interface that we may all be facing when upgrading The first is that scroll bar behavior has changed in Lion, which may cause confusion if you’re using a conventional mouse (see this article for more information.) In addition, Apple has hidden the /Users/Library folder, which contains Live’s user preferences and library. We have recently released a new beta version – Live 8.2.5b1 – which solves the above issues.
#PRO TOOLS 8 MAC OS X LION UPDATE#
Until this update is available, we do not recommend updating to Lion. We are currently working on a solution for this problem, which we will release in a bugfix update as soon as possible. We have found an issue that causes Live to freeze when sending MIDI out, either to external hardware or internally via the IAC bus. Here’s the current state of affairs according to the Ableton Live support forums:

Until this update is available, they do not recommend updating to Lion. The company is working on a compatibility update which is coming very soon to address existing issues. ReCycle owners will be notified when ReCycle 2.2 is released.Ībleton Live is not currently working with OS X 10.7. Registered ReCycle owners can sign up for the ReCycle 2.2 beta here. Propellerhead reports that “Our current products have been tested on this new OS X version and we are happy that Reason and Record are fully compatible.” Recycle, on the other hand, relies on Rosetta which has been removed from OS 10.7 and therefore will not work with the new OS. Read more detailed information below to see if your software is ready for the new OS before you upgrade. As you’d expect Logic 9 works perfectly with Lion, although Logic 8 does not work with the new OS (so you’ll need to upgrade if you want to use it.) Reason is also ready to go on the new OS while Ableton and Native Instruments are having some issues and scheduling updates soon. In the report below we offer the latest information on music software compatibility for Lion. We’ve learned from experience to investigate compatibility with our music applications before upgrading and we want to advise you to do the same this week as you ponder installing Apple’s new OS X Lion operating system.


But then the inevitable happens and one of our primary pieces of music software stops working – jamming up our workflow and productivity.
