Short answer--no. Long answer: Logic Pro and the Logic Node application only work in "matching sets." In other words, you have to use Logic Pro 7 and Logic Node from version 7, Logic Pro 7.1 and Logic Node 7.1, etc. Since the first Logic version to support Intel Macs is Logic 7.2, you would need to use the Node from 7.2. This means that you could not run Logic 7.1.1--you would need to run Logic 7.2 on both. However, you COULD run Logic 7.2 on a PowerBook G4 under Tiger and the Logic Node 7.2 on the Mac Mini. > Would latency be an issue?

But you can't mix updated software and non-updated software. Such is the price of progress. Take care, Orren
