In just under a month since the release of update 9.0.1 for Logic Pro and Logic Express, Apple has issued a new software update for users of the Pro version of the digital audio workstation and MIDI sequencer for Mac OS X. The update, weighing in at 183MB, improves the overall stability and provides numerous fixes and enhancements, according to the company behind the Mac operating system.

As usual, Apple uses its Support section to describe the contents of its Logic Pro 9.0.2 update. There, customers can find out that, in addition to improving the overall stability, Logic Pro 9.0.2 provides numerous fixes and enhancements. According to the Mac maker, the issues addressed include:

- Flex Markers can align & snap to MIDI notes; - Performing a punch-in recording with Replace Mode now behaves correctly; - The I/O plug-in adds an option for latency measurement; - TDM plug-ins now behave as expected (only affects users with Pro Tools HD audio hardware).

The update is recommended for all users of Logic Pro 9, Apple says, not only to address these particular issues, but also because it includes all the fixes and enhancements delivered in last month’s update – Logic Pro 9.0.1.

“For detailed information on this update, please visit this website: Logic Pro Release Notes,” Apple says, taking customers to Support Article TS2565. There, it reveals that Logic Pro 9.0.1 has also improved the overall stability, while providing numerous fixes and enhancements. The company then proceeds to pointing out to the issues addressed in the respective release.

Leaving the bug fixes aside, the enhancements implemented in Logic Pro 9.0.1 include: the ability to measure and provide latency compensation for an external signal chain that is routed via the I/O plug-in; the ability to snap align Flex Markers to MIDI notes within other tracks in the Arrange window; an improved Automap feature for Novation MIDI controllers, which, following the update, could work when using the Logic Studio plug-ins; Apogee's UV-22 dithering algorithm has become an option when bouncing audio files.
