Snow Leopard + Logic 9. discuss...

So now that the new kitty has dropped would any early adopters care to discuss their experiences using the new OS with the latest version of Logic?

2 x 3ghz Quad Core intel Xeon 20 GB ram, Mac OS X (10.5.8), Logic Studio 2 : Ensemble : Liquid 4Pre

since i upgrade to snow leo, logic 9 quits all the time with one of my project, what was ok before. =( i dont know what is the problem. i put back my 10.5.8 system from my back up hd, and everything is good. after i tried again to upgrade to the snow leo, and logic quits again with this project, just like that, without any error message. i am sad. =(

The first time Logic 9 starts up after installing SL, it checks all the plugins. As soon as it tried to validate the first Waves plugin, a popup warned that I needed to reinstall the Interlok Extensions (ilok) software and directed me to the correct webpage. I downloaded and installed that and without skipping a beat Logic 9 continued the plugin validation. Smooth as silk.

Of all my plugins (Waves Platinum, various UAD-2, NI Komplete 5, Arturia Analog Factory, and lord knows what else) the only ones that would not validate after updating to SL was the mono version of Waves IR-L. The stereo version validated successfully, as did the m->s, just not the mono. Oh well, I wasn't using the mono version anyway.

Also saw something interesting that I had never noticed before during validation: Instead of one plugin name coming up, there were two unrelated plugins it seemed to be testing at once. For instance "UAD-2 Pultec Pro NI Guitar Rig 3" or "Arturia Analog Factory Waves C4". Maybe it was multitasking with better multicore support?

I opened a few of the more complex, plugin intensive projects and everything seemed perfectly fine.

Will report back later after I have a chance to do some recording and put it through the paces. But so far, I'm happy with plugin validation and the overall smoooothness of Snow Leopard.

To summarize what seems to be installing and operating hitch-free in Snow Leopard:

Apogee Ensemble
UAD-2 plugins
Waves GTR3 Native and Waves Platinum Native (upon AU validation Logic automatically directs to iLok website to download the installer again; after reinstalling iLok driver all Waves plugins work except IR-L MONO version.)
Arturia Analog Factory
Native Instruments Komplete 5

Yeah, I'd love to know if it actually manages RAM and processors better because that's the only reason it'd be worth upgrading if everything else is pretty much the same.

I'm actually counting on it doing a better job because when I first read about the 64bit and GCD technologies in SL I bought a total of 10gb of RAM in hopes that Logic would use all of it better. Is this the case?
