For real?
Yep. At least I have not seen anything to the contrary of this from last year: A Single Purchase of Mac OS X Lion Will Install on ALL of your Macs
EDIT: you can install it on ALL your macs. I was mixing up the itunes content authorization which only allows you to play itunes content on up to 5 machines.
Enjoying the free safari update. Noticed some new features and it’s much quicker.
Here is a really great review of everything new in 10.8: OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion: the Ars Technica review - Ars Technica
Anyone here have a DJM 900 or DJM T1 care to test it with Traktor? Pioneer took forever to sort out a driver issue for Lion (2-3 months). That’s a 1/4 of a life cycle for OS X. The 900 had crackling audio and timecode was very dodgy.
Yes I agree, I love it! And is it just me or do the colors seem a lot more vibrant?
(I am also typing using dictation 
slight_smile:
Funny you say that - it does look improved but I am not sure if that is a placebo! The dock sure does look a lot more polished.
And yeah that dictation feature is really great!
Has anyone tested the S4 or S2 as of yet?
I will tonight when I’m home from work..
Can those of you that have already done the switch say what Mac computers and what interfaces for Traktor you’ve tried. Since they’re having issues with certain ones it would be nice to know what exact setup those of you that are having good results are using.
Personally, I’m on a late-2008 non-unibody MacBook Pro, using an Audio 8 (which NI says is still having some issues), but installing an SSD today to snap it up. Thinking about Mountain Lion, which Apple says works fine with my comp, but I had some issues with Traktor and Lion so I’ve stuck with Snow Leopard through that entire OSX upgrade.
It’s for those with 3.0 OR with one of the devices listed.
I have to say I’m always a little surprised that companies like NI and Serato are behind on support for new OS’s. They release the developer preview with enough notice that you figure most bugs would be ironed out. I’m obviously speaking with limited knowledge of programming so maybe it’s a longer development cycle.
Still downloading as we speak. I might have problems having the new OSX, USB 3.0, and a TTM-57SL that runs on USB 1.1. Sure hope not.
It’s an issue of backwards compatibility. While Microsoft, etc are very concerned with backwards compatibility, Apple is just not.
Also, the betas/previews, except for perhaps the very last one are not identical, bit-for-bit, to the release.
In addition, the hardware devices like the cards that NI and Serato make are generally harder to patch (they might require a firmware or actual hardware fix) as opposed to software, which can be very quick to update.
Mountain Lion makes a huge difference on the rMBP. I haven’t seen any scroll lag like I did on Lion, and more things seem to be in full resolution.
Here’s something fun for you all!! Turn on airplay mirroring to a big screen TV with a Apple TV and DJ from your couch 
Screen shot of it in action here: Twitpic
Installed in a diff partition I used to test prev betas and was using to bootcamp. Won’t replace my main install until I’m certain everything critical is 101% functional.
Liking general usage so far, boot time improved a lot for me (comparing with a Lion clean install).Only thing left to test is my soundcard that I won’t have with me till friday, It worked fine in previous builds except for the software routing panel.
Why did they remove the option to show the battery timer on the menubar is beyond me (i know you can use istat or whatever to recover it).
whats the word with the the 57?
So far pretty good. Tried it with my s2, x1 and it worked fine for traktor 2.5.1. Going to try my DJM 900 and turntables to see if that works.
So tempted…August is heaving though and daren’t take the chance.
Hope you have good results with the 900. Hope Pioneer learned their lesson from OS X Lion. Keep us posted I’d love to upgrade to 10.8
