![]() With the new Mastering Assistant and its professional palette of intuitive sound-shaping tools, musicians can deliver a release-ready mix faster than ever. Today Apple updated Logic Pro with powerful new features available across Mac and iPad. Note that it maintains the market incentive.Apple supercharges Logic Pro with powerful tools for music creation on Mac and iPadįeatures include a new Mastering Assistant, 32-bit recording, Sample Alchemy, and Beat Breaker on Mac a Quick Sampler Recorder mode on iPad and more Some kind of a "dog runnig after his own tail" situation. And, most of the time, without regards for the other softwares power needs, from the new hardware. This is however a temporary situation as the hardware will eventually catch up for some time, until the coders bring more features to their software S in order to take advantage of the newly available hardware power. I believe that when the hardware power is relatively lagging behind compared to what the software is demanding, such issues are bound to arise periodically. I am just submitting some possible explanation. I did not mean to dispute the legitimity of your concern, far from that. Don´t you think it´s a bit weird that we have like 10 x the CPU than 10 years ago, spread over 10+ cores instead of one or two, and still the software is less responsive? I mean, no matter how many new features there are in Logic X over Logic 5, it shouldn´t be any more cpu intensive to open a plugin window or scroll my mixer from left to right, right? You do miss ports a bit, but with more TB devices coming in, it'll be a similar purchase to what you'd need for the nMP.Ītlas007, sure the software gets heavier when more features are added, but I feel there should be some kind of headroom left for UI to stay responsive. I have 2 giant silver boxes (Mac Pros) which I use as a stand now, while the studio runs off a laptop. I have decided, every 2 years, I'm just going to swap laptops rather than invest in a Mac Pro, which has almost no resale value. Most sessions would crawl once I'm over 50 tracks.Īnd BAM!, this year with a mere latest gen laptop and a fresh install, I'm running sessions that would otherwise bend my Mac Pros over. ![]() Almost no amounts of re-installation worked for me in the last 5 years, over two Mac Pros. With DAW's I've noticed variable performance depending on how it's setup it seems like. The session is still smooth, not as smooth as butter, but for me this is shockingly awesome, coming from Reaper and Cubase. I'm on a 140 track session, with over 80 stems running VI's (Omnisphere, Kontakt, Massive, Reaktor etc.) on Logic X 10.0.6. Alternatively, if it's possible, you could open a new session and import all the tracks from the old session manually, one at a time. Ok, I didn´t mean to rant about this… What I would like to know is if your system stays responsive when the track and plugin count gets high (but not too high to kill the system)? What comes to responsiveness, I think its gone worse version after version! I feel like everytime cpu gets 2 x faster, the software gets 3 x heavier! I've had 4 different systems since then, and had all the logic versions between 5-10. Seriously, the smoothest mac+logic system I remember was my first in 2002, logic 5 if I remember correctly. ![]() ![]() Is this the case with your system too? Shouldn´t the UI stay smooth with no matter what track count as long as the HD and CPU meters are not hitting the ceiling and there is plenty of memory available? This is how LPX has been since day one in my system, and it´s not just those projects, its all projects that start to "grow" above 20-30 tracks… more stuff there is, the slower it gets. There is plenty of memory available, cpu below 50% on all cores and disks nowhere near their limits… Beachball every now and then, everything happens with 1 second delay, just horrible. Clean install of everything… and the same projects are painfully slow. Now I have LPX, Mac pro 5.1, 24Gb of ddr, all SSD-disks, osx 10.8.5. These projects used to play reasonably well in LP9, Snow leopard and my old mac pro 3.1. I have some large projects, around 50-70 audio tracks, 30 instruments and lots of plugins. I would like to know is this a some kind of problem in my system, or just how logic is at the moment. ![]() Actually this is not specific to version 10.0.6., more like logic X in general. ![]()
