Logic Pro X Update around the corner? (with screenshot)

[chk071]

Logic update so prepare to buy a new mac : minimum requirement will be Catalina ! 2500 $
Planned obsolescence for fat shareholders.

I'm not fat.

Right. I'll fix that for him then: "Planned obscolescence for well-built shareholders."

We need a Logic 32 bit version. Sorry, could not resist.

I still have my Logic 7, 8 & 9 discs, somewhere. Still have the L7 key/dongle, also

Little off topic, but found this interesting video

This remix contains about 3 to 5 audio snippets or so from the original recordings, like vocals or piano - so all synths, drums & fx are live AU instruments.
Not a single track is frozen and as one can see the CPU meter ranges about just above half at all times. No dreaded bursts at all.

When I open this song in Logic 9 one on my Mac Pro 3,1, which by benchmarks should have about triple the G5's power, it will use about three quarters of CPU. Yes - MORE CPU than the 2005 G5.

Latest Logic X however would not play it at all - it stops immediately after hitting Play.

Is this telling us how much CPU time and RAM modern software wastes? Ironic, since the most efficient Mac OS X version was the first to abandon PPC (Snow Leopard).

How about fixing it for him that old Macs also run Catalina. That's the name of an OS version on the Mac platform, the platform that all of us in the thread actually using Logic run.

Good to hear that Apple finally support their devices a bit longer. The way it was before, it was 7-8 years, max. IIRC, the iMac of a relative, from 2009, was only able to run Sierra as highest.

[revvy]

Well, old is relative of course, point being his post was BS.

(of course Win is more backwards compatible, nobody is arguing against that fact)

[chk071]

I wasn't agreeing with his point, just having a laugh.

Also, to be fair, backwards compatiblity on Windows is also always dependent on the good will of the manufacturers. Don't think I had a single mainboard which got mopre than 2 years of BIOS updates, for example, and, more relevant, most manufacturers of other hardware, like wi-fi cards, also only update their drivers for a very short time, so, if it goes really badly, you'll end up with a non-working devices after some Windows 10 updates. It happened to me with a sound card. Entirely ASUS' fault though.

Fortunately, Microsoft makes it rather easy for manufacturers to update their devices nowadays (Windows Update). Anyway, back to Logic.

Correct.

I’ve explained where I gathered my impressions. If you don’t accept an impression based the sources I’ve mentioned, that’s fine. If you hate “the media”, you’ve got an issue I cannot help, nor do I have the inclination to try. I’m not going down this path of argumentation with you.

It’s not required to personally know Apple employees when journalists have verified their sources, especially when what they say is consistently aligned with the statements of countless other named & unnamed sources.

Touchy.

Seriously? Are you the type who goes out and pokes someone and then complains when they tell you to knock it off?

I think that’s the ol “I don’t know exactly how to respond to that logical response to my argument so I’m just gonna throw an insult out there and see if it sticks”

[Spencer Maddox]

Ah nothing like a good Daw Fight.

Anyone mentioned reaper yet?

You are disqualified for this thread.

Phoey

Logic Pro is able to reap a wit into bits of cubes in one studio with its reasonable pro tools.

Hehehheheheheheheh

Took me a second
I’m slow today

Impressive!

Gave me the nostalgic feels for Logic 7

I'm curious about that 'test'. I assume all the plugins are the same, but they cannot be exactly the same from PPC Mac to Intel Mac.

Don't understand this statement, most vendors continued to make plugins after PPC, actually they offered universal binaries up until one point where everything was Intel only, but some vendors kept supporting PPC nonetheless, it's not like PPC plugins died in 2005.

You mean maybe PPC plugin versions were coded little differently or maybe more optimized?

It is more strange that people often (yes i might suffer myself sometimes) get really emotional about these things and still have to say things in every thread.
If you really find a company is the devil and hate all they do, no one force you to use it. But many people seems to are on a kind of religion war to prove other people wrong and teach them their view of the world.
Whatever. Logic, best DAW ever for me. No other DAW comes with more content but yeah, Its all just the devils masterplan

It's kind of like they're more interested in arguing about the tools they have than about using them...

[Passing Bye]

Yeah, after you mentioned Logic 7 I wanted to see it in action and stumbled upon that video.

Advanced, and bursting with Hi-Tech doodads at the time. Positively utilitarian-looking, now

Don't know what to think really, it's quite interesting thing for sure.
