Future Software Updates?

[Final Lap Guy]

I'm considering an MBOX Mini with ProTools Express and was wondering if there will be future software support?

Like for Apple's upcoming Mountain Lion?

Thanks

Since Apple has not released Mountain Lion yet there would be no updates until 6-8 weeks (only a guess) after Mountain Lion comes out.

So I went ahead and bought this unit, MBOX Mini 3 with ProTools Express to replace my aging Mini 2 and ProTools LE 8.0.5.

So far, very impressed. The electronic guts of this thing must be greatly improved because it has a much "warmer" sound for the mic input. It also seems much improved in the output area as well. The build quality of the unit "feels" high end now, although it's bigger, so when I travel with it, I'll have less room in my carry on.

The big giant volume knob on the right side is certainly welcomed, hunting for the tiny one on the last model was a pain.

ProTools Express has everything I need for my 8-10 track productions, so nice job Avid!

After reading this page:

Avid Software and Mac OS X 10.8 http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/c...-Mac-OS-X-10-8

It would seem this MacOS Update might get qualified much sooner than previous ones, given that AVID is not even warning against upgrading.

AVID: Does Pro Tools Express fall under the 10.2 release model?

I want to reiterate the question asked here -- Is Pro Tools Express compatible with OS X Mountain Lion? If so, does this extend to v. 10.8.1?

I have upgraded to an iMac from a Windows PC and so my older version of Pro Tools will not work. However, before I buy Pro Tools Express i would like some certainty that it is going to work. Thanks

I have the exact same question...

Express works perfect on my imac 21,5 mountain lion ver. 10.8.2

[Jankunas]

Yup, I installed it yesterday and it works flawlessly.

Pro Tools Express is not automatically included in Pro Tools updates - separate work is required. All I can say at this time is that the current version of Pro Tools Express (10.2) is not officially qualified with Mountain Lion. We have updated the Pro Tools Express FAQ with this info.

Thanks for the update Avid. I still hope we get updates as I'd like to buy a new Mac soon, and won't have a choice of OS.
