I was all set to upgrade to Leopard tonight, but M-Audio hasn’t updated their drivers yet. Whisky Tango Foxtrot. Is M-Audio so broke they can’t afford to join the ADC and get the developer seeds? Hell, grab a bittorrent client and your favorite tracker and ANYONE could have them. It isn’t like the announcement of Leopard’s release came as some big shock to the developer community. I don’t understand why at least SOME progress could not have been made on the drivers.
So, basically, I could update my MacBook Pro, but then my UC-33, Axiom 25 and FireWire 1814 could quite possibly be rendered useless. As I have some music I need to work on, I can’t exactly take that risk so I’ll just have the shrink wrapped Leopard box taunting me until M-Audio pulls their head out of their ass. My next gear purchase will certainly be Korg.
Also, I can’t find the totally awesome mask I was going to make my cats wear.
I’m going to go watch a movie or late-night television or something and feed the cats some treats. Then back here to record an angry evil psytrance mix.
Yeah, M-Audio blows ass when it comes to updating with new operating systems. It’s not just in the Mac world. They were pretty damn busted for Vista as well.
They’ll probably have drivers out by the end of the year.
I’m hoping for a week or two, but you’re probably right…
At least I’ll be pretty sure a lot of other issues with Leopard will have been discovered and ironed out by then?
Looking for a silver lining here. And wishing I would have just put that $29 towards gear instead.
Do you realize that the Axiom is class-compliant, meaning that it doesn’t need drivers for basic operation? I can hook my friend’s axiom25 up to my MBP with 10.5.1 with no problems, but my Oxygen8 is currently a paperweight…
you are in luck though..;)

I wasn’t aware, and I hadn’t had a chance to use the Axiom since I’m so swamped. That’s good to know though.
M-Audio walked me through some steps that didn’t work to get the Firewire 1814 working. It is still useless.
