MainStage now syncs up with the latest Logic, though it’s a shame these releases are not in ( word of the week) “lockstep.” (Space Designer gladly got a big refresh in 10.4! Erm – edit, no, not Sculpture. Now we’re just waiting on a release that finally cleans up some of the older effects and instruments in Logic’s library – one by one, we’re getting there.
New mixer mode allows channel strip fader and pan controls to be used to set send level and pan.Dragging one automation point over another now aligns them vertically.Alchemy allows numerical editing of parameter values.Alchemy provides drag and drop hot zones that let you select re-synthesis and sampling options while importing audio.Smart Tempo now analyzes the tempo of MIDI performances recorded without a metronome.Imported multi-track stems can follow or define Project Tempo.Smart Tempo can analyze tempo data across multi-track recordings to define the Project Tempo.The Sound Library can be relocated to an external storage device.And if you weren’t already importing audio into its powerful engine, now’s a good time to start, with a workflow that lets you choose how the engine will play that audio right as you drag it in. It’s an instrument that’s one of the best reasons to use Logic at the moment, even if we’re all sad it’s no longer a plug-in. None of that will make you more creative, but Alchemy could. (That is, they can both be a source or a target.)Īnother overdue but important improvement: automation points can align vertically. Smart Tempo was a fascinating idea in 10.4, but now it’s actually fleshed out – so multi-track recordings, MIDI data, and imported stems now can all work with flexible time, without a metronome.
#Logic pro 10.4 update not workin install
So while 10.4 did add improvements for choosing what to install and what not to install, this is … possibly even better, because you can just buy a big, cheap drive and not sweat it at all. Here’s the big one: if you’re running Logic on a machine that’s low on hard disk space (raises hand), you can now move your Logic Sound Library to an external storage device.
#Logic pro 10.4 update not workin software
Note that Mojave actually isn’t specifically mentioned in these updates – but pro audio users will, as always, want to move nice and slow with major OS updates to let hardware and software developers catch up and find any issues.īut existing Logic users should grab this one. The new Logic adds multi-track Smart Tempo, and sorely needed external storage of sounds, among other improvements – and live performance-friendly MainStage syncs up with Logic’s latest instruments, effects, and features.
