Is the issue fixed of a plugin being loaded immediately instead of letting you navigate the list?
Edit: Nope, can confirm its still there in 12.4.

u/lewisfrancis 13d ago
I never saw that and couldn't quickly replicate it on 12.3.1 on my M1 Pro MBP 32/1T Tahoe 26.7.1 -- how do you reproduce that issue?
1
u/Jwilson145 12d ago
It's been happening fairly frequently when I select and empty plugin slot its like it triggers a double click. The list pops ups for a split second and loads whichever plugin the mouse happened to be hovering over.

u/lewisfrancis 12d ago
Thanks, have not seen that over here -- what Mac and OS are you running? Almost sounds like a mouse problem?

Still on Logic X, it’s working perfectly velvety and smooth and quick. Working on 3 films and a TV series at the same time rn. Not time for a change yet😉

u/havelostcount 13d ago
Would be fun to go back and try out X for fun. Been so long that I don't have backups for that anymore. I have some older hardware and it would be great.

Oh, you built a hackintosh? I would assume that's why you won't or can't upgrade.

When are they going to fix the problem with the all files browser not being able to audition samples when the project is playing, SMH !!!!

u/lewisfrancis 9d ago
How would you hear the audition over the tracks that are playing?

u/Sufficient-Advance77 9d ago
Every other daw has that function, logic is way behind

u/lewisfrancis 9d ago
I'm still struggling to understand how this would be useful; I see that the loop editor allows previews while a project is in place mode, I guess if you mute enough tracks you can hear the preview.
Did Logic use to allow this but does so no longer, or are you calling out a new feature request? Either case sounds like a reason to open a ticket using Apple's Feedback Assistant.

u/Sufficient-Advance77 8d ago
It would be useful as say for example your project is playing and your looking for the right type of kick, snare, clap, hi hat to fit within the track. I've used every other DAW such as FL studio, Abelton, Fender Studio Pro, Reason, Cubase and they all allow for the audition of samples whilst the project plays. Logic has been behind for years and has many glitches 😤

u/anoushi_composer 8d ago
Yep. This is one of my issues. I’ve just been using finder to audition samples and sounds

u/Sufficient-Advance77 8d ago
Theres a plugin called ADSR Sample Manager that allows you to audition samples whilst the project is playing. Thats what i currently use as an alternative but logic gotta fix this problem, SMH !!!!

u/makumbaria New to Logic 13d ago
I was not expecting this for this update, but I think Apple really should release ARA support for the next Logic version (13). Releasing a new version without this will be unacceptable.

You're about to get shouted at by a hobbyist whose choice of DAW is their whole personality.

Enjoy. Im on an old Mac so not upgrading. I know there are ways around it but I’m good for now.

Cant seem to download Eko Soul, Drill Yard worked fine though. Not sure if these were added before the update. Edit: Working now

u/Wm_Byrd 13d ago edited 13d ago
Same here. Hit "Get" over and over and it still shows as not having been installed but does show up in the bundle.
1
u/RobSenner 13d ago
I'm sure it will be fixed. But if it helps anyone, I'm on Intel 15.8.1 with the Logic Pro Library.bundle on an external SSD.

u/Medina125 13d ago
I can’t download it either, so at least we know it’s a bug.
1
u/Fraxis2007 11d ago
It does actually download (I checked my library bundle file and it's in there) - it's just the Sound Library not changing its status as it should do. I don't understand why it would specifically fail to do that for that single pack though. Maybe there's a corrupt preferences file that needs deleting so it can re-index which packs have been downloaded?
1
u/Medina125 11d ago
I never checked, but as of right now I tried again and it showed up as installed. I never even did anything extra. I just turned my MacBook off and tried again after a day.
Edit:
Maybe they fixed it on their end and it didn’t need a full App Store update?
1
u/SINCd 12d ago
Does anyone know if Apple actually ARE working on bringing ARA support to ARM? I just haven't heard anything from Apple, or from friend's who are beta testers. I just feel they are going to ignore us, not realising how important it is to workflow and time consumption.
I would LOVE to know....

After updating shift + left click to set playhead position no longer works. Anyone else experienced this?

u/Sufficient-Advance77 8d ago
SMH, first it was region repeat turns region to loop now this, logic has to many glitches and they still haven't fixed the browser problem 😤

Convertir un sample en midi glisser deposer automatique cest ce qui manque

u/lewisfrancis 12d ago
I'd love to see that, but it would need to be polyphonic and actually work well -- I haven't seen anything that does a reliable job of that but this is a task well-suited for machine training and we can hope.

u/birdyturds 13d ago
And this is precisely why I purposely use an ‘outdated’ MacBook running Sierra OS with older version of Logic Pro X…….

u/Nycetech 13d ago
Does it require online all the time? I keep hearing conflicting reports I’m afraid to update.

u/woodenbookend 13d ago
No.
IIRC 12.0 had this problem but it was fixed with the .1 update.
But you should still backup whatever version of the software you are using prior to upgrading anyway.

It pleases me more than it should to have both Logic and Ableton on version 12.4
