Great picture/avatar Matthew!

In other news, LPS shiped via FedEx express. Should have it tomorrow - will put it on the laptop for testing and report back.

Maybe not?

They did say that.

If they bunged this up, I might actually still jump ship. It was supposed to be the one thing I was waiting to see if LP8 would incorporate... the other features look splendid, but considering we do all our work with outboard, this is becoming a pain in the yarrrrrrr....

UH-OH

mmm it DOES have automatic plugin latency compensation.
the I/O plugin IS a plugin right?
and that DOES have latency...
please someone test this and report back?

I called them around noon but they didn't have the upgrades & no clue as to when they were getting them. Did you buy full retail?

I made a thread for just this very info...

Logic 8 deal with outboard hardware delay compensation?

[Brian!]

can someone chime in with macbook performance later?

I saw it yes LOL

[doktahyde]

On!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Matthew Murray]

I'm thinking it's bad news, boys.

There's no way they would have built this in, and yet not tout it in the documentation.

The I/O plugin has been around forever, and so has plug-in delay compensation. It's not looking like they integrated the two, otherwise they would have bragged about it.

not so worthless.. it seems to me that apart from the arrange window and general interface facelift little has changed about the workflow of ... for instance, the environment -- or mixer or plugins.. it really looks like the same app.

if you've got soldering urges, you could get a behrringgner and mod the shit out of it
you'll be missing the clock, but IMO it beats scarring an expensive apogee which is already good.

or you could pass by here, got a whole bag full of cables that need resoldering

i have some audiosuite and tdm plugs i can run in PTools LE (vocalign) but it appears you can only use these if you have the PTools HD version - is that true.

there are some RTAS AS TDM only plugs I would love to use

TDM and AS yes, RTAS no.

[pounce]

mine has shipped and i have the tracking number, so soon i'll have it in my grubby mitts.

the same shady feeling is creeping up on me...
LOL 3 years' development, fancy new rewrite, new core, new editing in arrange ... and no auto latency compensation...

but let's wait till someone tests it, before jumping to conclusions

[Dor]

I'll have my update tomorrow!! Just received my Fed Ex tracking number.

[Nu-tra]

I just got a copy from the apple store. Pasadena should have a few tomorrow. Make sure they have the right upgrade version if you are just upgrading. They have the upgrade from the big box and express too. I got a full version.

Let you know how it rocks first thing.

Christ man, it would give me an mental condition to type like that.

Why the hell should Apogee knock down the price on that stuff? That's pointless. Let's be realistic people. These companies are in business.

If they are so easy to make, then make you own converters. People have done it. Apogee is just people.

800 for an 8 week course seems like a deal to me. My company gives training sessions and they are about $650/day/person. On a different technology, but still.

If you can't apply what you learned in a Logic 7 class to Logic 8, then you didn't learn very well. It's an upgrade, not a totally different beast. Your sense of paranoia towards your teacher, or that he was scamming you is totally unfounded. Maybe he was writing a book on Logic 8 and was under an NDA. Do you think he'd give up his publishing deal, breach an NDA, stop training or get sued just do you could have the "inside scoop" or feel like you got more for your money? Forget it man.

If your livelyhood depended on Logic 8 vs Logic 7, then I'd say you weren't a very good engineer to begin with, and are likely needing to find another career. It's just a tool. There's no exclusivity. There is no club. Any such concepts are grand delusions.

Why should Apple not let you take a training class? It's business. It's money. It's investors. It only makes sense. Apple isn't going to announce and say, "EVERYONE STOP THE PRESSES. NO MORE TRAINING". The training course was $800. It's not much money. Stop whining. Don't act like you think that technology freezes when you buy it.

Get a grip, grow up and grow some, and learn to type like a decent human being. Please find a new career, because if I came into a studio and someone who talked like you type was the engineer, assistant or even intern I would walk out.

if this is directed at me; i don't recall anybody crying about no 64bits. is it official?

it's still a question that holds validity, whether Apple is going to do this or not. FYI, Tiger can/did do 64bit calculation. it's the App's implementation of 64bit into the OS that makes the difference.
Apple - Mac OS X - 64-bit

if i'm not understanding it right, perhaps you can share with us properly your understanding of it.

the only "real" indication that it will be 64bit is from oscwilde @ Sonikmatter, whom from his posts seems to know his stuff.. tho i can't find any official word from Apple.

...yet.

Wow, I really like paper made plastic man. Thats a cool name. I don't think I would take that one as an insult personally.

The point is, Logic 7 will run basically the same as Logic 8. So you should be golden.

I found this in the logic pro 8 technical specs:

"Internal audio resolution: 32-bit floating point; 64-bit precision where required".

Don't really know what to make of that, "where required" seems like a strange expression to me... might it be that the summing buss is 64-bit? or that the whole app is 64-bit under leopard? don't know at all, just wanted to point out that there is a reference to 64-bit at least at one place in the documentation (if it had not been done before in this thread).

Now... how about that latency compensated hardware insert thing? everybody seems to think it's not there now? it would royally suck if it's not implemented by now. so, I ask again, anyone with v8 installed, please route something out to a HW compressor or something, record it back and see if it's delay compensated or not!
