I'm to the point now, where Logic Pro hasn't crashed in a long time. I'm sure it has to do with configuration, hardware, and plugins ... but man, why would I stick an OS upgrade into a machine that's doing exactly what it's suppose to!

I just recently read about a lot of people having difficulties with the latest OSX 10.4.10 upgrade. It's creating pops, snaps, and crackles in the audio lines!!! AHH!! That's a musicians nightmare (especially an engineer!) I remember days being incredibly frustrated with my equipment, because of crashes, config issues, etc. Why would I change anything now??

Granted, would I love an 8-core MacPro over my Dual G5 1.8? Hell YEAH! I'm all for gear lust! But then again, changing over to a new system would easily take up 2 weeks of studio down time. New registrations, new system keys, and endless installations (I've bought a lot of plugins over the past 5 years!). Plus, some of my small German Audio Unit developers haven't been able to convert the plugins to the new mac-tel architecture yet! So I wouldn't have everything in my theoretically "better" system.

The only way I'm upgrading my studio (even Logic Pro) is if it's absolutely required for some feature I absolutely need.
