Major UI Lag in Logic Pro 9.1.7 on OS 10.8?

Nope. Tried the supplemental update. didn't help. the lag is still there.

Unfortunately...me too.

Because of this blatant lack of importance and attention by Apple, ProTools has been on my radar for the past four weeks. Been doing a lot of research on it. Now I've begun budgeting for it. Have a few professional friends in the "sound business" that live by it. I have found that, for the most part, ProTools is the industry standard for "professionals."

I really love what Logic Pro is....or was. But the bottom line is I've got to keep up with the industry if I'm to stay competitive. So I have to choose tools that are doing the same. Logic used to but I guess that was the past.

All things said and done, as many complaints as I and other have about this issue, there's still just ONE thing that's terribly troubling to me. This problem started immediately after installing Lion. It didn't take a few hours, days or weeks. It was as soon as I rebooted from the system update. Then Mountain Lion made it worse. The same scenario for many, many, many other users. So....if that's a fact...

Logic wasn't REALLY ever tested on L or ML by anyone at Apple. It simply couldn't have been. If so the problem would have been noticed...IMMEDIATELY. Surely the issue wasn't noticed but dismissed with a, "We'll figure it out later" mentality was it? What's that say about Logic Pro's importance/future/pro users to the "powers that be" at Apple? Not much.

I can't agree. I have seen the problem here and there, but it has been extremely rare for me. The problem doesn't appear for everyone, and for those that don't have it, it can be very hard to reproduce. Nobody seems to know exactly what causes it, but certain install configurations seem more likely to have it.

Thankfully it looks like Apple finally has more info from users and is able to reproduce the problem, so hopefully we'll see a fix sooner rather than later.

I sure hope you're right. I really do.

As a check list here's what I've done to date to remedy the issue:

1. Rebuilt Permissions

2. Rebuilt ACLs and Permission for Utility partition

3. Uninstalled and reinstalled logic from scratch....every thing disk by disk.

4. Called Logic support.

5. To date, spent a total of about 5.5 hours on the phone with Logic tech's

6. Have contact with Senior Logic tech person and personal e-mail address

7. Bought a brand new Mac Pro 5,1 (Quad core 3.3Mhz, 32GB of RAM, Three, 2TB hard drives, etc etc.)

8. After 5 weeks of same thing...wiped the drive completely and reinstalled everything fearing Migration Assistant could have brought over bad files. (Everything from System, all other applications, widgets, fonts etc. etc.)

9. Reinstalled Logic from scratch again.

10. Preformed all required and necessary updates

11. Rebuilt permissions and ACL's after massive reinstall of everything

12. Made milk and cookies, cried then went to bed.

Did a full system update and Logic's non-stopping in the middle of a sequence happens a lot less, but there is still a problem with lag/delayed stopping of a sequence.

Looked at the system Console app and saw this:

10/24/12 2:18:23.192 AM Logic Pro[18654]: DTUninstall(), the current deferred task 0x6eccb3c4 being removed is also currently executing its dtAddr routine, so unexpected things may result ( Radar #4555679 ).

The Supplemental Update helped some. Thanks!

(Not quite sure why the update only fixes the problem some of the time....very odd.)

Mediasaloon, Thank you! The supplemental update helped solve the problem for the most part. This helps! Major time saver. Thank you!!

I think it was poor or minimum in-house testing, Apple has enough "different" machines out there with varied firmware that they need either a more competent or comprehensive test team that uses a wide variety of users. Apple is supporting more machines than they ever have... their "Pro" applications should be thoroughly

tested, especially since this was reported to Apple under Lion.

I'm not weighing in on the FinalCutX -> Garageband comparison but if you followed the release of FCX you know it was released in a Alpha/Beta condition and that Apple used paying customers as beta testers. No one, even the most die-hard Apple fans disagrees with that. It's not that it was missing features, it was that half the advertised features didn't work correctly. Many users got their money back after trying to use it for a week or two. If Logic users are wary of new releases and how well their tested, they may have cause.

where i can found it?

Just heard from the Senior Logic Pro Tech! There's an update to Logic Pro that supposedly fixes the issue!

Haven't installed it yet...driving to my studio now to do so. Wanted to share with the rest of the Logic communtiy first.

Yep, Logic 9.1.8 works fine. Everything is solved here. GREAT! Thanks to you all here.

WOW let's go....!

Well so far it's working and working well! It's like when I was on Snow Leopard.

Big thank to MadDog15

HoRAY!!!'

Now the Mountain Lion really roars!

Can we come out about how long does this take from the very beginning?

Oh Thank god!!, Installed, all runs as it should, smooth as silk in fact. Thanks Apple 😍, but please don't put us through that one again, 😉
