[SoundDiver] Re: OSX 10.4 to 10.6.8 upgrade can't load Windows Adaptations

I've used Windows for years for full-fledged music production and it's been just as good as a Mac.

I think I may have gotten SD to work on the initial release of OSX, but I think it primarily will work best in OS9. It's possible the later beta version will work in OSX, but I never tried it.

I am currently using SD on 64-bit Win7 with no problems, just try to use the 3.0.4 or 3.0.5 versions and use the latest synth adaptations you can find. The only problems I ever have are not with SD, but with older Roland products not having the latest ROMs to support full sysex editing, which is another headache in itself.

Good luck!
Rick
