I believe you can change the fonts if you tinkle around the app bundle Yes Great, thank you!

Awesome, so 10.2.4 will definitely still work alongside 10.3? I've done this in the past, even when it's been less crucial, but I really need it to continue to work this time as I'm in the middle of something.

Can anyone verify for me, if I backup the current version, by duplicating, then install 10.3, will I still be able to open songs in 10.2.4? I'm really keen to upgrade, but I work with someone who won't be able to for some time as yet, and I need to be able to share work with them. If anyone has both on their system, could they do me a favour and check opening an older song in 10.2.4?

It doesn't seem to happen if I just open the song again now. I don't know what caused it, I wonder if it had kept the flex edit audio in RAM instead of releasing the memory when I'd redone the edits manually. Now it just uses around 2GB of RAM to play back the song, it's jittery as hell, but I've come to expect that from Logic X now. Performance is terrible really, compared to 9, and any other DAW you care to mention.

Hi Guys, Long time, no see, I've just been working on a song in Logic X, it's a multi-track recording of a band. I've just been redoing some drum editing as for once Flex sounded pretty terrible, so I had to do it manually. When I closed the song down I noticed this in activity monitor (see attached). 12GB Memory used?!?!?!? 5.5GB Pageouts?!?! This is a song with no sampler instances, 2 minimal soft synths. A few bits of flex pitch and flex timing (slicing mode). The screenshot was taken after I'd closed the song, Logic hadn't release the used RAM and didn't seem to want to for a while. I quit Logic, opened it again, played through the whole of the song in question and it used 1.8GB of RAM, closed the song and it released it all. I've been feeling like performance is suffering in the latest version, has anyone else noticed anything at all? Thanks for reading, if you did. Hope everyone is well.

Just so everyone else knows, what Eric has found in that article completely solved the problem. Sorry for not replying sooner Eric had to get some ACTUAL work done (music!), thank you so much for taking the time to track down this article I was coming up with nothing earlier and this nailed it straight away. The guy had installed "Air Parrot" an app which you can use to stream your screen to an Apple TV, and Logic was causing it to boot every time we ran Logic as part of AP is an audio driver for streaming the audio too. As soon as we use the removal tool on the company's website all returned to normal. It appears to stem from a weird incompatibility with certain video cards and Air Display, we were unlucky enough to be using one of the 3 models of effected Macbook Pros and without knowing it Air Parrot which was causing Air Display to run. Thank you SO much Eric, everyone was so over the moon when we got it working, the owner of the Laptop was very very appreciative of your efforts and asked me to thank you on his behalf, so THANK YOU.

I've done that, and sure enough the problem was still present in a brand new user account. Thanks Eric!

Hi all, Long time no speak, I guess Logic must have gotten more stable in the last couple of years. A friend of mine has a problem with his Logic System, as soon as a project is open within Logic any kind of input from the mouse or trackpad latches on and won't let go. If you click on the arrangement it assumes you're making a selection and won't allow you to deselect, a green box just follows the cursor around the screen. If you click on a loop in the browser for instance, the loop with glue itself to the cursor and not let go. The only way to stop it is to force quit Logic, and relaunch finder (as it starts happening there too). Like I said this is on a friend's system, so I don't know that much about what else is running (although can't see anything weird happening), we originally assumed it might have something to do with Automap running, but I have since deleted it so it won't auto-run and this hasn't changed anything. Please help, we're trying to get some work done here and currently his system is unusable. n.b. it is 100% definitely NOT a physical fault with his trackpad, we have tried a USB mouse and the same happens there too. Thanks a lot.

You could just use a Direction Mixer plugin on an aux for the second channel to flip the L/R.

Handy to now have the option of how many Cores are used though. I suspect it's a little more than the terminal script as the update is almost 300meg.

How are people finding this update? Specifically people who has Multicore Processor performance loss from 9.1.2?

You can add the divisions in the metronome settings. Then just change the grid division resolution in the transport bar. Normally it'll say 16 by default. Alternatively, whether using the Klopfgeist of any other plugin you can add the metronome/click channel to the arrangement (right click the mixer channel and click make arrange channel) then you can program any pattern you want.

There is, ANY of the other instruments. That is what the first reply is saying. Just remove the Klopfgeist and replace it with EXS and load a sample, or Ultrabeat and synthesise one if you prefer.

Have a good look into Ultrabeat. It's a great drum synth and very capable of making kicks like those you posted links to. Start with the 808 kit and see how the kick is made. Most kicks like this comprise largely of an oscillator with a quickly descending pitch, the HARD sounding part at the beginning of the hit is the sound of the pitch dropping very quickly. Then the boom, or the deep part of the sound is where the oscillator ends up more stable at a lower pitch. The second of the links sounds most like this, it's a very simple raw synth sound. The first might have a bit of filtered noise mixed in with this kind of thing as well. Just have a good look round Ultrabeat, try out a load of the presets, and learn to use the synth.

This is the best Pointing Device I've ever used. Not just in terms of functionality, but it feels amazing to use. So fast, so smooth, and all the other glowing comments people have already made. Ace
