MAC released, YOSEMITE, its new OS today.
As always proceed with caution. NI made made this statement:
Ah, the dangers of upgrading. I recommend having at least two computers for making music. One old school rig with all of the classic sounds and a newer experimental setup for the new stuff. And always back up stuff in multiple places.
I wouldn’t even recommend Mavericks yet! So many bugs with Kontakt and even weird stuff in Logic. NI are yet to fix a bug I’ve had that made it impossible to use new Kontakt libraries.
anything that is part of NI Komplete 10 Ultimate is working fine so far, at least on my end.

I have just upgraded to Mavericks from Lion because some plugins weren’t being supported anymore, and mainly to use Logic 10, works OK here. What issues are you having ?
On the general upgrading question, I won’t change again now until they are 2 releases ahead of me again. In general, software companies support the current and two releases previous. For music there is absolutely no advantage what so ever in using the latest operating systems.
What plugs no longer support Lion? I recently updated my older “farm” computer to squeeze a little more life out of it. I only use it for older East West samples, hosted in VEPRO.
All the new NI stuff is now not Lion supported. And Logic 10 won’t run on it at all. Had to get Logic 10 up and running for a client. Its a bit of a head wrecker but I actually like it as a DAW. Also Spectrasonics amongst many others only support current plus 2 back Mac OS. You can see their point, its enough of a PITA already.

I’ve been on Mavericks for about a month, and have had a bunch of small annoying issues like gradual latency in changing the cursor options (from pointer to pencil etc), unreliable ability to stop freezing or bouncing a track (shortcut not working all the time). Crashes happen a little more often than back in Snow Leopard.
Also, NI support (or the company that made the plug in) can’t figure out why the Service Center won’t completely authorize some new software.
Another fun new issue – random crackling like there’s a processor overload happening but Activity Monitor says everything is fine. That issue seems limited to some software like Adagio Bass and Damage. The latest Kontakt update took it from unusable to tolerable, but it’s still annoying.
Oh and then there’s annoying pop window that asks if I want to use my Apple TV as the audio output in Logic!
Tx Mark, haven’t come across any of these yet, undoubtably will see these and similar as I progress on. I never liked Logic 9 but 10 or Pro X is pretty good so far.

Mark this may be related. You have to run NI plugins in standalone mode first for the Service Centre to recognise them on your computer if you are updating. This was /is still an issue. Hope this helps.
Thanks Denis, will keep that in mind.
