Ultrabeat is still there, now fully retinized but still ugly as f**k.

Even though it is still there... seems like it has been supplanted

well, i dont know why would they bother retinizing it, if it were.

New Drum Synth is great - but it's not ultrabeat replacement really, the way you can easily layer synth + samples in ultrabeat is pretty unique.

Damn, that's quite the list!
The full changelog is maybe 20 times that long...

There are SO MANY TYPOS on there!!

Also, why would you want Bounce In Place to make 24-bit audio files if you DON’T have 24-bit recording enabled??

That's odd, I don't show an update being available. Anyone else noticed that? I assume it's just a delay, so I'll check again later.

didn't show up for me in the 'updates' tab so i went to the logic product page in the app store and updated from there no problem. i think i clicked on the buy button and it went to 'update'.

Brilliant update. Apple made me happy today

I was going to look at a second DAW. Now i do not need that anymore.

OMG. The tempo map bugs are FINALLY vanquished! Ever since 10.2, tempo curve copy-and-paste has been broken. It would convert curves to steps on your entire tempo map if you tried to copy a section and paste it somewhere else.

They have also fixed automation editing (at least with the tempo map). Before it was ridiculously hard to select a point or handle if you had two of them close together (say 5-10 pixels apart). Even if you would click right on the point or handle, it would do a drag-select instead of move unless you zoomed way in.

Now let's hope the other pain points are fixed, like the tendency for the mouse cursor to stop changing so you have no idea if you are looping or extending a clip, or selecting a range.

there was a workaround for that... but it was a pain in the ass. glad to see it fixed.

Yeah, the workaround was to option-drag. Total PITA.

Looks like AU scans are done in a single process now, without all those ridiculous tasks popping up in the dock and stealing focus.

EDIT: Nope. Still there.

no, i meant for copying to another project

it was different and even worse than option drag.

WAIT. MOTHERFUCKING WAIT. Did Apple kill all of the track icons, those beautiful, easily distinguished and readable track icons... and replace them with f**king FLAT SINGLE LINE BULLSHIT????

Edit: DOG DAMN THOSE NEW ICONS ARE HIDEOUS!!!

New Drum Synth is great - but it's not ultrabeat replacement really, the way you can easily layer synth + samples in ultrabeat is pretty unique.

Drum Machine Designer (re-designed)... you can put anything you want on a pad, including plugins, samples, drum synth. You can set the midi note per pad so it is easy to layer sounds.

that i saw, and i love it. I was hoping for an "empty" kit ever since DMD was introduced - i didn't use it because of that

With the new quick-sampler, which means you can embed all samples in the project file now (No more missing samples. yes.) i'm retiring my other drum samplers

Logic Pro 10.5 is out!
