Logic pro update12/30/2023 I have the eight core early 2008 MacPro 2.8ghz model and have no immediate plans to buy a new machine. Everything is pretty responsive, it still feels pretty quick. I just upgraded from 10.6.8 and Logic 9.1.8 and opened a few old album projects that are very plug in heavy, with lots of guitar plug ins, effects and other processing and had no issues other than not being able to load a few 32 bit plug ins. I upgraded the RAM to 14gb and put in a better video card last year, and I run separate internal drives for system, samples and projects with everything else on a fourth drive. I've just upgraded my early 2008 MacPro to run OSX 10.8.4 and Logic Pro X with Logic Remote and it runs well so far. If you have an extra $4,000 to burn, then just get a brand new Mac pro but there's nothing wrong with the 2008 Mac Pro for the time being. You can always max out the ram or put a DIY processor upgrade into it since it's past the warrantee and it'll be a good computer at least for a few years (unless Apple cuts off support artificially for it of course). Some of the newer computers would obviously run things even faster, but if your goal is to make some quality music/audio, that is: for the time being, a pretty solid setup. I don't have that much headaches with it at all. I run a studio off of a 2008 model mac pro running Logic 9/X and it churns out quality work, gives me next to no downtime, and doesn't tend to impede my productivity. ![]() ![]() I would get a new machine first, or upgrade to Snow Leopard and find somebody selling Logic 9 DVDs.Ī new machine would be fine for anybody, but that model of a mac runs just fine. You'll be disappointed by a lack of responsiveness of the software in general. It is at the bottom of the requirements, ergo not good. I think your computer will be too old for Mountain Lion and Logic X.
