I'm a firm believer that major OS updates should be installed cleanly. Anytime the whole number changes is time for a complete backup, an HD reformat and a Clean Install of the OS *and* clean installs of critical apps.
I am upgrading to Logic pro 9 from express 8 , I also want to update to Snow Leopard .
My question is I have pro 9 just arrived today should I wait and load Snow Leopard first ? Does it matter..? Just thought I'd ask rather then guess....Thank you !

I'll raise you one and suggest that instead of doing this, just insert a new HD and start istalling from scratch on it. This means that:
- If something goes wrong, you still have your old OS install and can just pop the drive back in, without even having to worry about anything going wrong restoring from a backup.
- As HDs get bigger and faster, you benefit from having more space
- As HDs don't last forever, you benefit from swapping your OS HD for a fresh one every couple of years anyway.
The caveats are:
It means having to spend a bit of money on a new one, but compared to the value of your time setting up a complete DAW this seems to be to be a small issue.
This is easy for Mac Pros but obviously less straightforward when it comes to iMacs and Notebooks.
kind regards
