MAC OSX LION, Pro tools 9 and mbox 2
Hi sorry if there have already been posts about this on here but I can't seem to find anything.
I have just bought a new mac and it is on osx lion. I have an old version of protools (actually protools 7.4) and I have not upgraded in ages. When I came to get my new computer this was not at the top of my list to make sure it is compatible. I have been looking at protools 9 which i believe i can get an upgrade for but it seems there is not a version to go with osx lion. I noticed they said they were working on it but that was in august 2011.. is there one yet? I have an mbox 2 and have been away from the avid protools thing for a while but do use it a lot. would my mbox 2 work with the new versions of protools? Also 7.4 will work on the mac but the mac will not recognise the mbox.. if people can suggest a away to fix this i would be very happy!! Cheers |

Hi,
I think Pro Tools 9.0.6 was the first version to be compatible with Lion. Your Mbox 2 will work fine with the new versions of Pro Tools. Hope this helps. |

I would highly recommend upgrading to PT 10. It's very stable on Lion:

Maybe it works I know people can run it but I think some of the problems are related to iChat from searching the forms I should charge Tapatalk 2 pennies every time this message comes up !!!

Re: MAC OSX LION, Pro tools 9 and mbox 2
Hi guys,
Thanks for the help! Think I will just upgrade to 9 as I cant afford the 250 pounds for pt 10 and 9 is only 150! http://shop.avid.com/store/product.d...07304586346816 this will work on lion? says above 10.6 and lion is 10,7 Things seem to be much more difficult to do than they were 6 years ago Dont want to spend the money to find out it wont run! |

Beta yes it does - issues are with iChat and some other things I believe - search the DUC you should find them easily enough

Re: MAC OSX LION, Pro tools 9 and mbox 2
I have to believe that this will be the only time you'll regret saving money. Find the extra 100 somewhere. PT 9 is history - you'll eventually have to upgrade again anyway.
Edit:I think you might be lite on the pricing of the upgrade to PT 10 from 7.4 - it's looking more like 350 to me. In that case maybe 9 is easier at this point, but somewhere down the road they'll get you. Make sure you're looking at the right price from your dealer - PT LE to 10

Dealer smealer - eBay and u will find a nice price - if u wanna save some some cash 9 - which is a great version - if not sell the farm and go with 10 I'm sure u won't be disappointed either way
