You can see that as separate issues, or as one. Because the costs add up. I always saw that relative low prices of Final Cut/Logic as a reason to buy apple hardware, now its getting more expensive. And its a fact, apple hardware is more expensive (internal SSD Prices??). Fans will of course always find ways to see this as an advantage. Apple could be much better, if fans would be a little bit critical.

The problem is the "vertical monopoly", if you want use logic, you have to choose apple, there is no alternative.

Yeah + $10.000 i already spent on apple hardware last years

https://www.macrumors.com/2021/02/24/final-cut-pro-subscription/ This is really annoying if you use the software only once in a while, maybe one day per month, and then still have to pay the money every month. With much used software this is not a problem, but with little used software subscription is really terrible. I find this development alarming!

PDC side-chain bug is not fixed.

NOT FIXED in 10.5!!! I'm speechless. "Logic side-chain bug" create track “audio 1” create track “audio 2” route track “audio 1” over “bus 1” to “aux 1” insert latency inducing plugin “Linear Phase EQ” into “aux 1” route “aux 1” over “bus 2” to “aux 2” route track “audio 2” over “bus 3” to “aux 3” insert plugin “Compressor” to “aux 3” change side chain of the compressor to “bus 2” put a identical drum-loop on both tracks result: audio 1 <-> audio 2 are NOT in sync

Interesting. Looks it will have some Ableton Live features. Not really i was looking for, but if they fix the PDC-Bugs i'm happy.

What I meant to say to hear the music direct, can be just be meant as a synonym to have a direct monitoring path, bypassing the sound card. Whatever if you like to use monitoring through logic (even of it adds latency through the sound device) you free are to do that. I have no problem with that. I‘m just taking about a problem, which you may don’t have because you have a different workflow which your paying clients prefer

This is a misunderstanding. Of course logic cannot compensate the latency in a live monitoring chain, this is not possible until the time machine will be invented. When this was the issue of the thread owner, yes Low Latency mode can help. (DAWs have different strategies to deal with it. Some bypass instruments/live audio automatically to the output which is much more clever, Logic uses a Low Latency Mode.) What I'm talking about is, when you record audio, and there is a lot of latency in the output chain, and Aux etc., and your hear this latency induced audio signal, and playing a instrument to it or singing a sweet melody to it, and you hear the direct audio from the instrument right into your ear and play along to the music. In this moment logic is in fully knowledge about the playback latency, an could simply subtract that latency when it put the recorded audio on the project. But it doesn't. Sorry for interrupting this thread.

Using Low Latency mode for recording, is a workaround, for the non-ability of logic, of correctly compensating the latency which is induced in the monitor-chain, on the recording. I really like Logic for its efficiency, but it really has its weaknesses.

Thanks for summing up those issues! Let's hope that Apple will sort out its priorities a bit. Otherwise I'll just have to change my DAW.

not fixed in 10.4.8 , c'mon apple! If you have nothing to do, you are welcome to report this to apple here. https://www.apple.com/feedback/logic-pro.html create track “audio 1” create track “audio 2” route track “audio 1” over “bus 1” to “aux 1” insert latency inducing plugin “Linear Phase EQ” into “aux 1” route “aux 1” over “bus 2” to “aux 2” route track “audio 2” over “bus 3” to “aux 3” insert plugin “Compressor” to “aux 3” change side chain of the compressor to “bus 2” put a identical drum-loop on both tracks result: audio 1 <-> audio 2 are NOT in sync

Is there a function in logic, which only enlarges the tracks and sub-tracks which containing automation? Sometimes automation can be hidden even when turning on automation view, instead it enlarges every channel even when it does not contain or use any automation.

I guess it’s just a normal iir filter, and with a gain change at a certain frequency it also comes with a phase-shift. That’s what every EQ does, except phase linear EQs.

yes they do!
