Pro Tools & Lion

[PAPO]

has anyone been brave enough to try it yet and what's AVID saying (I've had trouble keeping up with their updates)

'cause after over 18 months I finally have a working ProTools install and I don't want to loose that

Wait for Avid to announce. Usually around 6 months after first release. Lion is not stable enough, both for mission critical and as a home consumer point of view.

I'm just having trouble keeping up with AVID news regarding lion, their website is a mess, but from what I've heard Lion is more than ok from home use, I'm already installing it on my old machine for Mum

I-ve read Pro Tools 8 works just fine on Lion, but you never know.

good to know, but I'll still wait for at least 10.7.1 or 10.7.2 just to be safe

According to this website Pro Tools 9 will not even launch in Lion (though I believe this was using a developer preview). I don't have personal experience as I will likely wait until Avid releases a compatible update for PT9

I've detailed how to get ProTools (M-Powered) 8 working in Lion here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1197043/

It's not so much a work-around as it is knowing which drivers and updates to install.

And for the unbelievers, a screen shot for proof:

If there's a way to give positive rep on these boards, I'll take it. I need it.

Yep, it works! ProTools 9 on Lion!

Hey Papo,

it works now! You can run ProTools 9 on Lion.

I've tried it! Screenshot here.

Finally they made it ... and from what we were used from Digidesign-times, that was actually quite fast ;-)

Greetings,

I'm running the new 9.0.5 (with Lion Beta compatability).

It's been working great. I did a full clean install and whether it's because of that, or because of Lion and the new 9.0.5 things have been stable enough. I haven't fully stress tested it, but it has been running without a hitch so far.

I had been having a lot of problems with Pro Tools on Snow Leopard for some time, which is one of the reasons I wanted to make this jump sooner to see if things would improve, and so far they have.
