Midi Timeout was destroying our soul! Swapping between so many projects across so many rooms with so many active synths meant torture. Really nice to see swift response and thank you Logic team.

You sure this wasn't to do with 10.7.9 not showing recents stored in any cloud storage like dropbox? If so save a file outside of any cloud storage and it should work. This is fixed in 10.8: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Apps-and-Installations/Logic-Pro-X-projects-stored-in-Dropbox-don-t-show-up-in-quot/td-p/645886

Great job and thank you. I can confirm if I turn all midi clocks off in a project that times out it opens fine. The other option is to open an old template, do nothing then open recent file from there and it works. I'm sure there will be a fix for it soon as we need the midi clock in our studios!

See, I clicked Buy but then I get this pop up that says Apple is gonna charge me $199 and then the download will happen. Did your Buy button turn to Update right away? Turned to buy right away. That's very odd. Sounds like App Store not recognising your Apple ID. You sure you are logged in to the same account? Check purchases.

Used it since release, updated mid project and whilst I haven’t had too much time on the new features which are all fantastic I must say it is much more solid in every way than previous version which I installed on my 2019 MP. Midi is tight again. KK and Maschine 3 tight and responsive with both now able to transport control. Things load so quickly. Duplicate a kontakt patch and baam. So quick everywhere. Gorgeous refined UI’s throughout. Just tight and solid. This is clearly needed for 2019 MP. Great job Emagic and Apple!!!

I had to search for Logic in the App Store and then buy turned to update. Worked for me.

A clip view more like what Notator originally was would be fantastic, warped audio would help. The tech is there and it is time they tried to get more relevant to the youth. Ableton absolutely dominates that space.

Kinda seems inevitable doesn't it? For those of us that remember Notator that is the way it all started: https://www.macrumors.com/2020/03/29/logic-pro-x-live-loops-image/

Thanks Dewdman, I understand the distinction better than you think. I make and consult on a wide range of audio software some of which I am confident you use. Don't forget we can replace the CPU, some of my peers already have. Buying the 8 core and swapping out the CPU within the next year is a very real prospect. Apple won't update this machine for several years.

Dewdman42, in defence of Apple I think it's safe to say you are reading too much into this and hypothesising. My new 16 core 2019 MP runs in real terms, 100% faster than my 2010 MP. It's not significantly faster than our new iMac Pro in our studios but still faster. There is never a spinny ball. Logic uses the multi cores perfectly well. Creating music is not just about low latency live play. There's a live mode for that in Logic which helps. But I can load 30 sonokintetik Kontakt libraries and track stack them so they are all armed and get perfect playback. I can have 5 on my MP 2010 and we can run 16 on our iMac Pro. We can also mix 100 tracks each with 5 very heavy CPU plugs on each channel (Zynaptiq anyone!). We can't do this or anywhere near this on our other machines. I guess what I am saying is that you can look into numbers as much as you want, but in day to day use the nMP is an absolute dream. My config is 16 core, 96GB, 8TB SSD

Guys now that the nMP has been released I'd like to get an idea of what we think is the ideal setup for Logic Pro high end users (heavy CPU intensive plugs and large sample libraries) I'm leaning toward 16 Core 96GB 4TB SSD adding: Promise Pegasus J2i 8TB Internal Storage Enclosure for Mac Pro third party PCIe card to house 4 NVMe SSD blades I think the biggest conundrum we have is multi core performance vs single cpu processor speed. Thoughts?

We use 2017 3.5Ghz 1TB Fusions 8GB IMacs in several of our production rooms 10 hours a day running everything and whilst there's a difference in speed compared to our topped out MP's they are fantastic and run everything (Logic, CPU intensive soft synths and big HD intensive Kontakt libraries) absolutely fine. If you like the all in one vibe go nuts. you'll be happy. Tried and tested. The only thing I would say is that I7's hyper thread so you get double the cores! Worth considering.

’Simply not true?’ That’s an extreme statement for such a subjective topic. At my time with Stuart Hawkes at Metropolis we did so much ear and signal degradation testing that differences were barely discernible to what many consider the worlds best mastering engineer. My response to the OP was one of ‘you have better things to worry about than affecting EQ by downsampling’

Changing the sample rate and bit depth won’t make any difference. Signal degradation would be so slight you would need the highest end DAC’s, monitoring and treated room to notice any difference in which case most of us wouldn’t anyways. Just don’t dither down if you are dropping the bit depth as you won’t introduce noise or a change in perceived volume within certain freq bands.

There was a known bug where all NI hardware could not be automated by Logic. It was fixed in the latest Maschine and KK updates. Have you tried updating everything through Native access?
