Ivo That's interesting, even Apple doesn't claim Logic 7.2 works with PT 7.3 on G5's. I guess you lucked out! I was curious so I checked their website today and found the following: Their current Logic Pro 7 Data Sheet states this: http://images.apple.com/logicpro/pdf/LogicPro7_DS.pdf > Digidesign HD hardware support Support for Digidesign TDM and HD > hardware > ensures compatibility with the hardware-expandable > I/O and DSP system. This hardware has traditionally > been popular among high-end professionals and > recording facilities. Logic Pro is also the only TDM > host product that can run TDM- and host-based > plug-ins simultaneously in the same session. Their system requirements state this: http://www.apple.com/logicpro/specs.html > System Requirements > Macintosh computer with PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5 or Intel Core Duo; > Intel Core Duo, PowerPC G5, or dual PowerPC G4 processor recommended Then, in the Apple store, their features page is the only place the problem is acknowledged (that I could find): http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/ RSLID?mcoD902B0&nplm=MA336ZM/A > 3. Digidesign Pro Tools HD 7 DAE support > Logic Pro 7.2 is fully compatible with the Pro Tools 7.1 version of > DAE. All features are supported, including ESB and EXS24TDM. (Pro > Tools HD compatibility is currently limited to PowerPC based > systems only) That's where I got the info about needing PT 7.1 This is why (they say) Logic 7.2 won't run DAE on Intel macs, because you need PT 7.2 or greater to run on Intel, PT 7.1 is G4 or G5 only. I don't particularly believe Apple is purposely doing false advertising (although it's possible), I think it's more likely that they just did not bother going back and correcting their documents to protect their users from being mislead - it just wasn't worth an hour of HTML programming to them. That one parenthetical remark about non-compatibility was not added until December 2006 after many complaints on many forums. It's just a big drag that this company that treats its professional customers badly happens to own the best software application for music composition. I wish it were otherwise, but wishing won't make it so.
