I wish we could get details on what is updated...

 

[noodle654]

So...what did this do?

 

[Stike]

Anything on Aperture? Does it contain something there too?
Update severely needed!

 

[xiovoix]

Yeah I think you'll find updates to final cut and a new Logic Studio! Aperture no!

 

[champ01]

Its probably an update so things work well with FCS3 and LOGIC 9

Doesn't seem to break Logic Pro 8 so far. I'm always scared of updates involving Logic.

 

[CmdrLaForge]

Wow - there is really a lot of fantastic and detailed information on Apples site about this update.

I'm using Logic 7.x on 10.5.7 and got this update as well. hmm

UAD-1e?

Doesn't seem to break Logic Pro 8 so far. I'm always scared of updates involving Logic.

The day I installed this update, my two UAD-1e stopped working. Coincidence?

Better SMP in FCE would be a nice update.

I wish Apple would release some kind of update that would make Final Cut Express 4 better able to handle multiple processors. For one it would certainly make "realtime" effects more "realtime" and would speed up rendering/exporting. Exporting an FCE project on my 2006 quad-core Mac Pro uses up-to 2 cores. Meanwhile a $23.32 video transcoder I bought a couple of years ago (VisualHub we'll miss ye) makes good use of all 4 cores and gets the job done a lot faster.
