Default Pro Tools LE 8 on Mac OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion?
I realize that this may be playing with fire, but I would really like to upgrade from Lion (10.7.4) to Mountain Lion (10.8).

I am running Pro Tools LE 8.0.5, and have an MBox2. I was apprehensive to upgrade to Lion but Pro Tools has worked fine for me, no problems. I know it isn't supported anymore by Avid but I haven't had any issues.

I realize most of the Pro Tools world has left me behind and is running 9 or 10 at this point, but has anyone experimented with Pro Tools LE 8.0.5 on Mountain Lion? I'm curious as to whether it will work.

Thanks!

Nope.

You do have a good point, though. Everyone might do well to make sure they can even use ML before getting too excited. If you're still running a Core2Duo, chances are you can't use it anyway.

My Mac is compatible - Fall 2010 MB Pro, i7 processor.

No - PT LE 8 is NOT officially supported on Lion, but I've had no problems. Just hoping I can get lucky twice and have it work on Mountain Lion...

It works. I'm using it right now. I'm using an MBOX 2 Pro with ProTools LE 8.
