Firstly Digidesign have announced a pre-release version of Pro tools 8.
Avid/Digidesign is pleased to announce the immediate availability of a prerelease version* of Pro Tools software that provides expanded Mac OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard compatibility to Pro Tools 8 users. If you’re a Mac-based Pro Tools 8.0.x user, Pro Tools 8.0.3pr software is provided as a convenience should you wish to begin your transition to Snow Leopard before a fully tested and qualified version of Pro Tools becomes available.
For more information, and to download Pro Tools 8.0.3pr, please see the following pages:

* Important: Pro Tools 8.0.3pr software is pre-release software, and is not fully tested or supported by Avid. Technical Support is not available for pre-release software. We recommend backing up your system and work files before using this software, or installing a fresh copy of Mac OS X 10.6.x on a different system partition. In preliminary testing, we’ve found most plug-ins to be compatible with Pro Tools 8.0.3pr and Snow Leopard.
Note we are still on our own – no support and make sure you have backups!! But it is getting closer.
Waves have also made a Snow Leopard announcement…
September 2009
Waves is working closely with Apple to bring Snow Leopard support to our product line.
We recommend that Mac users not upgrade to Snow Leopard until we officially announce support.
We are getting closer but by no means there yet and from the blogs and forums I am across it seems that Snow Leopard itself isn’t quite there yet with lots of printer related problems to mention just one area.
I for one will be waiting until Digidesign formally announces support and we have gone through the first set of hurdles with it in Pro Tools world.
Anyone been brave and gone for it care to comment here?

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
