Well, Apple and Digidesign, tomorrow is April… March 31, 2008
Posted by ConnorSmith in : Digidesign, Leopard, Pro Tools , trackbackYet another month passes with no real indication of when Pro Tools LE will be compatible with Leopard.
When will Pro Tools work with Leopard? No one really seems to know, although the last indication from Digidesign said maybe April. Although it’s taking seemingly forever, don’t immediately jump on the “we hate Digidesign” bandwagon. Apple’s really at fault here as well. Leopard’s audio management is shaky at best (notice all the problems Logic Studio, Apple’s own software, is having with the OS).
This whole situation is bad for Digidesign, but I think it may be a bit of a wake up call. When Digidesign introduced Pro Tools LE, they didn’t really have the intention of making it a pro level DAW. It was supposed to be a stepping stone into the Pro Tools world (and you’d eventually bump up to HD for professional work). Times have changed, more and more small studios are popping up, and many Digidesign customers are doing amazing work with Pro Tools LE. Personally, I think its time for Digidesign to either expand their LE capabilities, or create a more affordable “HD-lite” of sorts. Let’s see what happens.
