14 DAY TRIAL // Apple has launched Logic Express 9.1.6, a free update for users of Logic Express 9. It delivers tons of fixes and enhancements, many of which are documented below for your reading pleasure.
The Logic Express 9.1.6 changelog starts with the Compatibility fixes, namely one that allows users to revert to Saved after a project has been renamed under OS X Lion.
Performance and Stability-wise, the new Logic Express now uses multiple available cores as expected when performing offline bounces, and reliably initializes MIDI ports when Logic is launched in certain conditions, to name a couple of enhancements.
On the Audio front, channel strips with pre-fader sends now mute consistently, while audio playback now properly updates when changing the selection of files or regions when using Prelisten in the Audio Bin. And an issue in which record repeat would delete the wrong take has been fixed.
Various plug-in and instrument tweaks are documented, and there’s a trio of changes on Control Surfaces:
Control Surfaces
· Changes made to a project using a control surface now reliably activate the control surface Save button. · The Undo LED on Logic Control now correctly lights to show the availability of undo steps. · Setting parameter assignments on Control Surfaces to fixed values other than 1 now works correctly in 64-bit mode.
Finally, numerous General tweaks are mentioned. A few highlights can be found below, followed by a download link to the Logic Express 9.1.6 update.
General · Clicking on an unused take after deleting a comp section no longer selects the entire take folder. · Resolves an issue in which using Auto Set Locators by Marquee Selection with very small Marquee selection lengths could result in the playhead getting stuck. · Fixes an issue in which the visible area in the Arrange window would sometimes jump a few pixels to the left after scrolling to the right on OS X 10.7 Lion. · "Bounce - Replace All Tracks" now places regions on the correct tracks in songs that contain MIDI take folders. · Volume automation now works reliably on all frozen tracks. In the Event editor, the up, down, left, and right arrow keys now correctly navigate between fields while in text edit mode. · After using Save As to make a new version of an existing project to a new location, the recording path for the project is now appropriately updated to the location where the new project was saved.
