Where is it?

 

I signed in with my full Logic 8 serial number only to be given the option to download 9.1.1.

 

When I ran Software Updater, it said my software was up to date.

 

Maybe that means I don't need it.

 

But I want it.

 

EDIT

Regarding Software Updater, I think the issue is that I modified the name of the Logic app in the Applications folder to reflect the Amplidood GUI mod. The 9.1.2 installer also said I didn't have a valid version in the Apps Folder. All a go once the name was changed back to just Logic.

Do you expect to get a Logic 9 upgrade with your Logic 8? If you have Logic 9 installed and registered, no need to type in any installation codes for the 9.1.x upgrades.

Do you expect to get a Logic 9 upgrade with your Logic 8?

 

Yes. I needed the L8 serial number in order to install the L9 upgrade.

 

And if that weren't the case, why would Apple offer me 9.1.1 if I only had 8?

Good deal! 8)

Seems good so far....

Some very nice (and welcome) fixes here.

 

And once again I *love* the detailed release notes, so I'm glad to see this has become standard policy - we're all appreciative of this.

I'd love to hear more about what "Support for iOS control surface apps that utilize the OSC protocol" means. I've been waiting for midipad for a while...

I'd love to hear more about what "Support for iOS control surface apps that utilize the OSC protocol" means. I've been waiting for midipad for a while...

 

me too. This sounds intriguing...

Presumably it means Logic now has some OSC support and/or API's which enable bi-directional communication between Logic and other OSC-enabled devices/applications - paving the way for, presumably, iPhone/iPad/iTouch Logic-controlling/interfacing apps and other things...

 

...but that's just guessing.

I was checking to see if there were any preferences for the OSC support but I didn't see anything. I use touchOSC/OSCulator all the time when composing. I'd love to see more support for OSC apps...

 

EDIT

 

TouchOSC for iPhone just released an official update with a Touch Logic template. Pretty freakin' awesome. This is how to get OSC setup for the new version of Logic:

 

Logic Pro > Preferences > Control Surfaces > Setup

 

Make sure TouchOSC is running on your phone.

 

Do New, Scan All Models and another screen pops up. You can then add TouchOSC from there.

 

I just haven't figured out how to get it to work and if I still need to use OSCulator or not. If anyone knows... Post up!

Improves compatibility with 6- and 12-core Mac Pro systems.

 

Wouldn't you know it! The week I decide not to wait for a logic update in order to use all cores of the new mac pros and instead purchase a refurb 8-core is the week they release an update to fix the problem!

 

I just hope my 2.93 8-core still out performs the 6-core westmere as I could have had one of those for the same price!! Maybe since I haven't opened the refurb I can return it if necessary?

 

edit: looks like people with perfectly good working systems before the update are experiencing major CPU problems thanks to this update: http://www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/371545-logic-pro-multicore-benchmarktest-32.html

is the updates for the New 8 Core too?

Or wasn't there any issues with the 8 Core?

 

David, if you were buyign a new machine what Core would you be looking at?

6. 8 or 12?

The way it's worded it would seem that it's only for iOS devices, and only for control surfaces. So probably not general OSC compatibility, eg talk to Reaktor, Kyma, etc. But it's a big start!

I see there’s a TouchOSC.bundle in the Logic Pro.app/Contents/MIDI Device Plug-ins folder...

 

Hopefully generic OSC support wil follow

I thought it was major enough for its own thread but worth a mention here as well.

 

9.1.2 drops hyperthreading support on quad machines, which results in a major loss of CPU performance. Any quad users (if not all users) may want to hold off on updating or at the very least back up 9.1.1 before doing the update.

 

Any quad users who either have already upgraded or are brave enough to backup and upgrade, testing and further confirmation of the issue would be appreciated.

some nice fixes...Working great on my system.. And, this article is really great, regarding the Marquee stuff.

9.1.2 drops hyperthreading support on quad machines

 

The release note says:

 

The expanded System Performance window now accurately reflects the number of available real cores on all supported computers.

 

Its seems only visual. Did you test it? I'm working with the update for a couple of hours and don't see any performance problem.

Yes, I and a number of others have tested it. It's not just a metering issue, sessions that played back on 9.1.1 are failing due to not enough CPU power - without those cores, it cuts available CPU power almost in half.

 

Do you have a 2008 quad or a newer version? Looking in Activity Monitor, do you see CPU use on the hyperthreading cores?

Yay, just woke up and saw the post for 9.1.2! Downloading now. Will share impressions later, got to go!

I have a 2009 single quad core. Thanks for the info, I will test it tomorow.

I believe that there's a loss of performance but i heard that HT whas not doing well with Logic and other high-end softwares anyway. Do you think it's a loss in power for a gain in stability?':?'

Just noticed this funky yellow line in the CPU meter:
