Using Logic in OS X<\/p>\n
Basic FAQs 1st…<\/p>\n
How is Midi handled since there is no more OMS?
Access to MIDI hardware is handled using the only OS X standard known as “Core Midi”. This means that there is no further need for OMS, MidiManager and MidiShare. There is a Core Midi Unitor family driver for Unitor8 MkII, AMT8 and MT4 that uses the USB connection. Additional Core Midi drivers are already available from other manufacturers such as M-Audio (Midiman), Edirol, MOTU, and Evolution.<\/p>\n
How is Audio handled without ASIO?
Access to audio hardware is handled using the only OS X standard known as “Core Audio”. This means that there is no further need for driver protocols such as ASIO and EASI. There are currently Core Audio drivers for the built-in Apple audio hardware and the EMI 2|6, plus more Core Audio drivers are available from other audio hardware manufacturers such as MOTU, M-Audio, Edirol and RME. <\/p>\n
How does it handle 3rd party plugins like VST?
Access to 3rd party DSP plug-ins will be handled using the only OS X standard known as “Audio Units”. This development will be available soon as a free Logic subrelease. <\/p>\n
Is there DAE support?
DAE support is currently unavailable. This is planned, but the development must be carried out in cooperation with Digidesign. We expect Digidesign will issue a statement regarding this in the near future.<\/p>\n
What about OMF, Rewire, and REX file support?
Rewire support, OMF Import\/Export, OpenTL, REX File Import\/Export are currently unavailable. The inclusion of these features is planned but depends partly on external developments. <\/p>\n
Operation<\/p>\n
Upon launching, just as normal – it searches thru it’s driver base and sets up Core Audio and Midi functions. Once it opens it looks almost identical to the 9.x version except for a few minor changes…
Change 1 – The “Settings” menu which used to be kept within the OPTIONS header, has been split into 2 separate menus, now called Preferences which has now moved to the LOGIC PLATNIUM header and Song Settings which has moved to the FILE menu.
Change 2 – Within the “Audio Driver” tab of the new “Preferences” menu, there are only 2 drivers listed now… CORE AUDIO and VS – so you must install your CORE drivers for your audio device before launching LOGIC
Change 3 – Loading an Audio instrument has now been moved to the I\/O section of the track instead of the INSERT section to accomedate the new MULTI-OUTPUT function of certain Virtual Instruments<\/p>\n
Stability<\/p>\n
At this point, the platform seems more stable. The System Performance meter seems to reflect about the same usuage of Disk\/Audio information. The Display and overall speed of the program seems a little sluggish. The screen redraws are slower and the screen sets seem to change almost a full 2 seconds later.<\/p>\n
