(At least Apogee is warning users in advance with that ugly 'Mac 10.7 not supported' dialog box, other vendor software and drivers simply crash or behave in unexpected ways and you are left to work out why in the various support forums. Are all compatible and supported on Lion. For example, neither MOTU nor Apogee was ready on the day Snow Leopard was released and it was months before everything was eventually stable.I stand by my position that says you-as-musician really, Really, REALLY want to have Snow Leopard on a SL compatible Mac on the day Lion is released, then only update that Mac used for music projects on the day that your hardware drivers, DAW software, etc. As long as you work with hardware compatible with Core Audio, then you are freed up from the hassle of dealing with the ASIO-type driver issues that can typically plague Windows users.But to be clear, this is a bigger issue than you might be led to believe. Click to expand.In the case of a lot of hardware, that's the end of the story.But as far as audio interface hardware, the enhancements to Core Audio needs specific driver code written for the hardware to be able to take advantage of it.
For example, my MOTU Ultralite runs circles around the Duet in terms of the number and types of inputs/outputs, onboard controls, MIDI connectivity, and especially the durability of the physical connectors. There are lots of alternate solutions with less elegant cases but much more functionality and more reliabile inputs/outputs.
