Logic Pro X on OS X Lion 10.7.5 10.7.4

With the newest version of Logic Pro being released many Mac OS X Lion may be feeling left behind. That is, Logic Pro X requires the newest version of Mac OS X (10.8.4) Mountain Lion. Thankfully there are a few crafty OS X developers who have figured out a way around this, permitting Logic Pro X to function in an un-supported operating system version.

Those who’ve seen the Roman numeral X slapped onto Final Cut Pro may approach this release with some initial trepidation. Has Logic Pro been stripped of vital features to make it more accessible to GarageBand users? Is Apple abandoning professional audio engineers and musicians to cater to the prosumer user?No and no. While Logic Pro has indeed adopted some of the look of Final Cut Pro X—with its dark visage and panes that can be invoked or dismissed as the mood strikes—Apple’s digital audio workstation (DAW) has lost none of its power and gained valuable features on just about every front.

Logic Pro X has more than just a new look — it gives you new options you’ve never had before. You can work the way you always have, with the full power and depth of Logic Pro. Or if you’re exploring ideas, you can choose to work with a more streamlined set of controls to keep things moving right along. You can also personalize Advanced Tools to make your workflow match your creative flow. -- Apple.com
