Major UI Lag in Logic Pro 9.1.7 on OS 10.8?

Yep , plus im gonna try to avoid all great 3rd party software instruments, good quality audio files, and fact that im stuck with MBP 2011 + Snow Leopard for next year now till 9.1.9 ) But there will be new OS ver. that will increase the lag anyway )))))

Using only logic stuff is impossible simply because it s u c k s now. It was great back in 2004 when logic 7 kicked in, but now most of the plugins and software instr. are useless.

No, try it to see if the problem happens with Logic plus or just the third party stuff.

When you found the problem did you contact the third party developers to ask about the problem?

Ableton is the undisputed king at this point. They support multiple platforms, Hardware, OS's, and is reliable to use in a live setting = amazing. Logic however is owned by Apple. They only have a handful of computer hardware platforms to test with and a few different OS's and still cant get a hot fix out within 3 months. Is it Ego? Laziness? Lack of talent? All three? I never saw this coming. Very embarrassing for a company so highly regarded. Please clean up your act guys! I want to see Logic succeed.

By end of 2012 when you look back at who pulled ahead I think Ableton really paid attention to its users and stabilized its product over the last few years.

Its not Logic but Ableton has been a joy to use and im thankful I own it. With every project I get more hooked on it.

Dont put this on third party developers. Logic worked fine and everyone was happy 6 months ago. Im sure smokedsounds plugins were fine before the epic fail by Logic. The questions are why did logic break and how can they restore it to a more usable state

Ploblem WAS that when u using BEST plugins Logic goes Crazy , nobody gives a **it about logic plugins )) And this problem is not fixed.

And please leave Plugin developers alone , they have updated their plugins 3 times since 9.1.8 )

Mark, have you tested 9.1.8? Do you still have the problem or not?

Yes it works now!! God Bless! Just opened the most jacked up project that would crash logic every single time and all is good now. Also i noticed that Retina Display looks much better with Logic. All the text looks crisp, mixer, Midi etc. Aside for some blurry icons, looks better overall.

I will never update again. Lesson learned and thanks for the people at logic for finally bailing me out on this.

Did a clean install (again) and downloaded 9.1.8. Opened a huge project...after a few minutes of editing...still got lag and freeze...;-(

Which plugins?

The EQ's of logic

Yep spoke too soon. Got quality time in this weekend and freezing is back! Arg!!! Totally F'ed again.

I noticed it when I use LFOTool and right after i installed my elicenser for my Vengence Products. I will try and uninstall them but I had this problem with 9.1.7 without those products and it was still the same freezing problem so not holding my breath on that.

**** 😟

9.1.7 came out before MountainLion, and it seems that Apple has fixed the problem with Logic's own plugins (those which provide frequent graphic feedback") and Mountain Lion.

If you don't get the lag problem in 9.1.8 with Logic's own plugins, you probably need to get a new version of LFOTool – if LFOTool is a plugin that "provides frequent graphic feedback", that is.

It's true, the lag bug is still present, though less frequent. Hit your dashboard key on your keyboard. once you are in the dashboard, Hit the key again followed by the spacebar. It works every time/ and the only workaround i've come across so far. just be patient and stop pulling your hair out.

Long Live Logic!

Thanks for the feedback. I will try the Dashboard tonight. Has anyone opened a ticket with the Logic team yet and got any response?
