The Beatsmith Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hi, I've been putting off installing El Capitan on my main workstation because I keep meaning to buy a PCIe based SSD drive and do a clean install of everything. But, I can never seem to get round to doing that. So, I'm considering doing the usual 'upgrade' to El Capitan, and I can do a clean install another time, whenever I buy a new SSD. Is it worth it for primarily a Logic X machine? Is there any CPU/graphics optimisation? I have El Capitan on my laptop, and it's fine, but I don't use it for much audio stuff. Cheers!

simon.a.billington Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 This is a good question. I'd like to know too. I'm pretty sure the OS X GUI performs a lot better, it may even translate to Logic. Multi threading may have been improved too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8EBREAKZER Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 i am having loads of LPX gui lagging and glitchy problems with 10.11.3.., i have rung apple several times and they just keep saying to me reset your nvram/pram.. which i do and it doesn't help.. everything was fine with yosemite.. silly apple.. oh and loads of other programs like protools and reaper are suffering under 10.11.3 too from what i have been reading on the internet.

fisherking Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 am having an almost-perfect experience here in 10.11 (minus an elicenser issue, which apple is sorting out). everything is relative; lots of people hated yosemite, some prefer it. some like mavericks, etc etc etc. because there are so many variables (the hardware, the 3rd-party plugins, the OS)...it's unreasonable to expert everyone to have the same experience. outside of bugs and issues shared by EVERYONE, there really are no absolutes. am happy in el capitan; your mileage may vary....

StudioQ1 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 zero issues yosemite zero issues on el capitan.. haven't upgraded to latest el capitan though I'm on the .1 version. I personally love the look of el capitan so much, everything feels smooth. Logic doesn't feel different though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beatsmith Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hi all, Thanks for the feedback! I'm sure the majority of users are running everything 'fine' - I don't anticipate particular issues, i'm interested in any increased performance, really. Whether due to graphical improvements, or multicore processing. I have a 5,1 Mac Pro with 2 gfx cards and 2 screens, but both are not Metal compatible. I'll upgrade when there are more reports of improvements in Logic/OSX. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon.a.billington Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I've only been holding off till Plugin Alliance announces official support. And it's been like 3 months.... Did I miss the announcement?!? Anybody with PA here running in Logic on El Capitan?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'm keeping my main studio machine running Yosemite 10.10.5 because I've had a few issues with my Metric Halo driver when updating to Yosemite, which required me having a private session with a Metric Halo guy, trying different drivers and finally finding one that works.... and I really don't want to go through that again, in fact I believe that when upgrading the OS I may have to purchase a new audio interface! Things last only so long nowadays... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveRobinson Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The os x 10.11.3 and LpX 10.2.1 combination is performing very well. The CPU meter is visibly reduced when opening and running larger projects. The MacBook Pro is running the best I’ve seen for quite some time. I do have an issue with Spotlight, however its not major and I'm hoping a future os x update fixes it.

The Beatsmith Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Ugh, i've updated to try to get increased performance with Logic 10.2.1 and in OSX in general - and just realised my SSL MadiXtreme64 won't work. I've got a backup clone etc, but ugh, what a ball ache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
