\"photo.jpg\"<\/a>Well, well, well<\/span>. Looks like I may have hit the ‘rant’ button with excessive haste, as “not supported” does not necessarily mean “it won’t work”, according to others who’ve already installed Logic 9 Studio (which is still a Universal Binary, it’s just not “advertised” as such, and you can’t call tech support and complain if you have problems – which I never have. Called tech support<\/span>, that is…) on their even-older-than-mine G5 setups.<\/p>\n

So it’s off to the Apple Store to pay another tithe to the Church of Jobs for the LP9 update, after ordering one of\u00c2\u00a0these<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0(the one that came with the G5 is getting pretty gross, between the usual\u00c2\u00a0keyboard plaque<\/a>, cat hair, and stickum from a set of rapidly deteriorating\u00c2\u00a0Editor’s Keys stickers for Logic<\/a>), because I’m a cheap bastard as far as paying $119.99 for an actual “Logic Keyboard”, and keyboard covers are meant to cover up<\/span>\u00c2\u00a0existing gunk, not keep it from getting in there in the first place…uh, right<\/span>?<\/p>\n

Plus, attaching one of those shiny new Mac Pro “slim” keyboards to the G5 would feel a little like putting a\u00c2\u00a0“Type R” sticker and coffee-can-sized tailpipe<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0on an old Honda DX automatic.<\/p>\n

All of which is a bit of a relief, as far as temporary reprieves from forced-multi-thousand-dollar-planned-obsolescence-hardware-upgrades go, as I’ve got enough sunk into Universal Audio, Native Instruments, Sonnox, and the rest to merit sticking it out as long as I can with the existing rig, and need to first figure out if this whole “pouring a slab and building a dedicated double-wall studio outbuilding from the ground up” (and, as yet another aside, damn you,\u00c2\u00a0stupid, stupid Steve Vai<\/a>, for\u00c2\u00a0already calling your home studio the “Harmony Hut”<\/a>, you fair-weather poseur of a fan of the second-best scene from Addams Family Values<\/span> – the first being Wednesday and her fellow “Indians” taking their revenge on the Camp Chippewa “The First Thanksgiving” Parent’s-Day play, of course – you… now I have to think of something else lest plans be mistaken as an homage<\/span> to wheedle-wheedle-wheedley-dee<\/span>\u00c2\u00a0Guitar Hero histrionics…) is really going to be a workable, budgetable solution to the impending “gotta get all this gear out of the spare bedroom before it’s no longer a spare bedroom, and do it the two-thousand-layers-of-caulked-sheetrock\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>Rod Gervais\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/a>way<\/span> while we’re at it” problem, before buying another computer that costs more than pouring a slab.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
