Logic Pro 11 issues with Rosetta

Duuuude, thanks for letting us know you can do this, just did exactly what you said, best of both worlds now👌🏻

Same issue. I use Melodyne and Vocalign as ARA plugins...when I saw the Logic 11 update annoucement, I kind of knew Apple would not do anything about ARA so I did not update to Logic 11. :-) Maybe Apple could tell us what they intend to do about ARA. So we could make a decision and give up Logic Pro...or not! Thank you Apple!

I feel bad for those that are having issues with Logic 11 and Rosetta. But for those that are making their living using Daws, you should never perform an upgrade on the very first day. There will always be kinks and incompatibilities with older 3rd party items until they update their software to work with the modern builds. Rosetta has been available for 4 years now and pretty much all major 3rd party developers have native Apple Silicone versions of their plug-ins. Melodyne 5.2 is native. so just update your software.

Also, hopefully you have Time Machine or some other back-up regimen in place. This will allow you to go back to the last version of Logic 10.* and continue with your work.

Personally as a Logic user, it's a shame on the lack of communication as well as lack of support on this matter. People that have an upgraded OS system and have paid they Logic DAW from apple and since people had to start using ROSETTA apparently Apple didn't care to start fixing the issue. It still persist. When and how will this solution take place. Making upgrades that can't be used has no point. Third party plugins with issues and so on. Some work needs to be finalized, mixing and mastering and is now on hold. SO what's the point in upgrading if it cant be done properly? Now what?

Thank you Apple!

This happened to me just now, and I immediately dragged my previous version of Logic over from a recent backup and deleted version 11. I don't have 5-7 minutes to wait each time I want to record. FAIL

Yes, it's a hassle. And Apple should have had a disclaimer on this. But Celemony and Synchro Arts have had four years to fix this, a fair time span, I would think...Do they want to stay in business?.. Rosetta is no good, it slows down performance. I have been waiting for all my plugins to be Silicon native, waiting only for Melodyne.....

But Melodyne still works fine in the old 'rewire' mode. So keep calm!

I did this exact thing and saved the previous Logic version 10.8.1, however if I try to open that backup, it says “Logic Pro 10.8.1” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash." Have you ever run into this? Thanks in advance for anyone's advice.

I thought Logic Pro 11 wasn't opening in Rosetta too. On my system (Macbook Pro M1) it does open, after about 5 minutes. For those 5 minutes nothing seems to be happening, but it does eventually open.

Once open it runs, under Rosetta, as well as I expect. I open under Rosetta to keep Rewire, which I use to run Sibelius and Logic in sync.

Obviously it's a nuisance to have to wait 5 minutes for it to open, but Logic isn't the sort of program I'm opening and closing a lot. If I'm working in Logic it's usually going to be a for a long time.

Extremely frustrating. Same here, so many issues. I’m a full time producer and engineer and I had to go back to 10.8.1 because of so many issues. We pay a lot of money for these computers and software, we shouldn't have to deal with this. They need to work. Please be better Apple.

Apple does not respond directly to users, go here....

Feedback - Logic Pro - Apple

This update behavior is getting worse than everything Microsoft. Not professional.

Is it possible to downgrade to the previous Logic version?

+1 I completely agree, not one "real professional" I know blindly updates their main software the first day it appears, Logic will not be solid for weeks, if not months. Make music, not problems.

Yes, but not from Apple. Do you have Time Machine active? Or any other back-up regimine?

No dont have none of that at the moment.

Update: Before I'm attacked for having auto-update on, I had thought I turned it off.
