Default Re: Why are so many of you beta testing 6.X & OSX??

6.0 has been rock solid everyday since installed. I've been working on 3-4 different projects, that all came from different rigs.

001/44.1-24
3 Core 44.1/16 changed to 88.2-24 for Overdubs and Mix
Mix Rig 44.1-24
HD3/5.3.1. 88.2-24

I’m on a HD3/733QS my cpu is slightly less responsive, to be understood with OSX. It did crash/freeze once in the past few weeks. I was importing 50 tracks of bgs into a huge session and it froze, rebooted and it never happen again.

There were some really dire scsi performance issues with the sessions that started on the 16 voice 16-bit machine. The “SSCI” fixed that. My firewire drive performance seems better than ever, 100+ tracks at 44.1.
The only drag is rebooting into 9 to use Jam.

All in all, I think it’s been pretty painless and the new features are nice to have. Some of the problems with these “problematic” rigs might have more to do with the maintence of OSX.

Other things to check out:

Repair Privileges
Boot w/ apple+s and run “fsck –y”….then “reboot”
And the best is Disk Warrior, boot and fix in 9 until the new version hits.
