But wait, there's more...

• Deliver a release-ready mix with Mastering Assistant and its professional palette of intuitive sound-shaping tools
• Transform any audio sample into a malleable sound that you can perform using Sample Alchemy
• Radically reshape and reshuffle audio with Beat Breaker, a sophisticated time and pitch morphing plug-in
• New Slip and Rotate tools allow for the contents inside a region to be moved independent of its position on the timeline
• Ability to record in 32-bit float now available when using supported audio devices
• Free "Hybrid Textures" Sample Alchemy pack includes a collection of 70 patches and over 80 loops built from found sounds flipped into creative playable instruments

Love to see the ongoing work done for Alchemy. I know I don't use or appreciate that synth enough.

Boooooring. Automatic mastering whaddahell. For more homogeneous edm kid music. These are good:

- Delay Compensation with side-chained plug-ins is now calculated accurately.
- Time based plug-ins now sound correctly when placed after high-latency plug-ins with Low Latency Mode enabled

But I can’t believe they still haven’t updated the GUIs for Space Designer, Ultrabeat, ES1, ES2. It’s getting a bit… funny

[hurricaneaudiolab]

The updated GUIs are coming.

Don't forget about the new plugins: Sample Alchemy, Beat Breaker, Mastering Assistant (don't knock it till you try it - it's good).

A lot of updates/fixes, but on first glance, it doesn't look very impressive to me. I am very new to Logic Pro, so maybe I was expecting a bit too much (and different) thinking we are approaching a major update.

I would love to see some updates to the Browser area (for e.g. favoriting of samples in Untagged Loops section) and plugin search option in the plugin selection menus.

i pretty much only want 2 features now that would get me to switch back: automating skewing and piano roll scale highlight/scale collapse like ableton and cubase.

For some reason Blackhole is now no longer recognised... or rather it appears to have been renamed as 'Blackhole (no midi)' and old projects using the plugin result in it being flagged as not installed on the system. I'm still on 10.7.4 as project loading started taking obscenely long in all later versions.

Has Logic changed with regards to plugin ID handling in the last few updates?

I'll see if there's a newer version of Blackhole.

Since it requires an OS jump for me, I'll pass.
Anyway, the ? is answered. Another free update for Logic—if you have the hardware/software combo to run it. Same old.

[audiouser720]

The updated GUIs are coming.

When?

i'm on 13.5.2 and it installed w/o any problem. works fine

edit: launch app store then go to your user account, find logic in your installs.. click on it to go to the page and the update will be there.

Yes, yes, yes! Scale highlighting/collapse/lock so I can't enter notes out of scale.

In the meantime I just throw a transposer midi effect on every channel, but its kinda annoying.
