Logic Pro for Mac and iPad Updated With New Features

Yeah for real, "oh noooooo! better buy a new laptop!"

Not really, perfectly happy with the 2011 performance on Ventura.

Why pay more to do the same thing? When I’ll feel the need I will upgrade.

I've been wanting to get into making music for ages but I'm not sure if I can justify spending £200 on a bit of software I might get bored of using after a couple of days. I have a MIDI keyboard and everything.

It's worth a lot more than that as long as Apple doesn't switch over to a subscription model for future updates.

🤞

However, if you're just starting out with DAWs, then I think GarageBand should suffice for a while. Especially because it's completely free.

If you ever feel limited by GarageBand then you can spend the 200GBP to get Logic.

Logic is only expensive if you're never going to use it as you can't get a refund or resell it.

Yeah maybe you missed my quote marks. You and I are in the same boat. I'm a big open core fan myself. I have several "vintage" macs that are well past their sunset date according to Apple.

small nice update, although still missing some basic features like: Plugin search, key mapping for quick tool selection, ability to move the mixer channels, ARA still on a separate window, console emulation, meta data for wav and mp3 export.

Worth noting for NI Komplete Kontrol AU plug-in users, there's a bug that repeats all MIDI notes input from an external keyboard on 10.8. This happens on the new version of KK (v3) and the more stable v2. NI are aware and looking to fix it "this month". Caused by Logic now recognising midi input from AU plug-ins (which is a handy feature to capture sequencer / chord notes from KK), but obviously Apple didn't warn plug-in software developers in advance of the 10.8 release.

In classic Apple fashion, eheh. Did you try disabling Midi 2.0 just to see whether it makes a difference?

Thanks @LancesUK . I checked that & I don't have MIDI 2.0 enabled. Looking at the NI forums other users have tested this & it didn't make any difference. There is a hack which involves changing some of the ports in the Environment window, but I think I'll just use the individual instruments (rather than loading via the Komplete Kontrol plug-in) while NI make the necessary code changes.

That’s good to know that at least there is a hack. Geez, it’s been ages since I last opened the environment!
