7.1.1 details

7.1.1 details

2005-10-05 by GAmoore@aol.com

I don't see much thats exciting. Perhaps automation improvements. There was 
mention of a new plug in on the other site, but in these details.

Logic Pro 7.1.1 Enhancements
General
     •     Changing the sample rate in Logic when using the built-in audio of 
a Mac mini now works as expected.
     •     Trying to open a file that you do not have permission to access no 
longer causes Logic to quit unexpectedly.
     •     Importing protected (read-only) MIDI files now works as expected.
     •     Logic no longer displays the superfluous MIDI Port Change alerts 
when the number of MIDI ports changes.
Tiger Compatibility
     •     The import of AAC and MP3 files now works as expected.
     •     AAF export now works as expected.
     •     Restores function of key commands that make use of a modifier when 
using a Scandinavian keyboard layout.
     •     The TDM DSP Usage window is now also available in Tiger.
Compatibility
     •     Improves import of OMF2 files.
     •     No longer limits import of XML files to 25 minutes.
Editing
     •     Unlocking SMPTE-locked events in the Event Editor now always works 
for all selected events.
     •     When using Soundtrack Pro as external sample editor:
     •     The waveform overviews shown in the Logic Arrange window now 
reflect all changes made in Soundtrack Pro.
     •     Opening and editing SDII files in Soundtrack Pro now works as 
expected.
     •     Pressing Shift-Option-Control and rubber banding an automation 
track creates two automation nodes on each side of the rubber band area. Dragging 
the selected area up or down now creates two additional automation nodes – 
each with new values.
     •     Automating two state controls now works correctly: pressing the 
two state control now inserts two automation nodes. The first contains the old 
value, and is inserted just before the SPL. The second contains the new value 
and is inserted just after the SPL.
     •     Using the Logic Control to record enable a track, or to switch to 
a record enabled track that contains an inserted plug-in no longer causes 
Logic to quit unexpectedly.
     •     Use of the Mute key command on a note in the Score Editor (when 
the Content Link function is active for both the Score Editor and Arrange 
windows) no longer mutes the Region that contains the note.
     •     The Remove EQs and Remove Sends function now works as expected in 
the Audio Configuration window.
     •     Canceling the Convert To New Audio File dialog no longer creates a 
Region and replaces the selected Region in the Arrange window.
     •     If you create a Folder that contains a single Audio Region, you 
can effectively use the File > Export > Region As Audio File function, even if 
the Audio Region is not selected.
     •     Burning a CD from the Bounce dialog in Logic could create a CD of 
static noise, when one of the POW-r Dither options for PCM was activated – 
even if no PCM file was actually bounced (the PCM destination checkbox was not 
active).
     •     The Mute buttons of MIDI channel strips are now correctly 
displayed.
     •     Using the QuickTime 7 algorithms to time stretch mono audio files 
no longer causes Logic to quit unexpectedly.
Global Tracks
     •     Following the entry of a tempo change ramp in the global Tempo 
track, you can now edit tempo values in the Tempo List by double clicking on the 
BPM section.
     •     The Beat Mapping track now displays 3/4 time signatures correctly.
Apple Loops
     •     Apple Loops with odd time signatures are now played back at the 
correct speed.
Environment
     •     Protected Macro Objects can now be permanently protected.
Video
     •     QuickTime movies are now delay compensated, ensuring accurate 
synchronization with the audio engine.
     •     In some extremely rare cases, Logic did not automatically find the 
movie when loading a song. Screensets that included the Movie window could 
also be displayed incorrectly. The 7.1.1 Update addresses these issues.
DAE/TDM
     •     Bouncing now works as expected when the WAVE option is selected in 
the Recording File Type menu of the Logic > Audio > General preferences.
     •     The TDM DSP Usage window is now also available in Tiger.
General Plug-In Issues
     •     Logic now also searches the following folder for plug-in settings: 
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Plug-In Settings 
folder. This resolves an issue that prevented the Bass Amp plug-in settings 
from being shown in the Settings menu.
     •     The Automation pull-down menu in the track list now shows all 
Ultrabeat and Sculpture parameters.
     •     Restores function of the EVB3 with the Native Instruments B4D draw 
bar controller.
Ultrabeat
     •     Swapping drum voices by dragging a voice to another voice’s 
position no longer copies the sequences of the source.
     •     Loading an Ultrabeat setting while playing a drum voice in Multi 
Trigger mode no longer quits Ultrabeat unexpectedly.
     •     It is now possible to preview UBS files in the Sample Load window 
by pressing the Play button.
     •     You can now save the samples of a drum kit on an external drive 
without having to manually search for the samples after ejecting and 
reconnecting the drive.
     •     Saving a song as a project that contains an Ultrabeat kit that 
makes use of the same sample for different voices rather than saving the sample 
separately for each drum voice.
     •     Voices played in Multi Trigger mode are no longer cut off.
EXS24
     •     The EXS24 mkII can now handle more than 32,767 sampler 
instruments.
Match EQ
     •     Analyzing files shorter than 100 ms no longer creates empty 
spectrums.

I don't see much thats exciting.


If they add features, people shout about them adding features instead of fixing problems. If they fix problems, people shout about them not fixing problems.

Perhaps they should just release a version that's identical to the last one and satisfy everyone. :)

I'm excited about the new View->Instrument Names option that automatically shows the name of the EXS program on the track it's assigned to (although someone said this was in the previous version, but I didn't see it).

Now we need a display of the loaded program in the channel strip...

Yeah I just commented over at osxaudio.com about that.. I went right 
from 6.4 to 7.1 when I upgraded and I remember being really stoked that 
it showed me the patch names in the arrange window..
Odd there seems to be a couple things Apple threw in there that were 
also in the previous version, cant remember the others but I saw them 
mentioned either here or at osxaudio...

They didn't fix any of MY (many) bugs *. I would be happy for that too. I am secretly hoping they fixed some of them quietly without admitting things were screwed up. I think a healthy blend of new features and little fixes is a good thing. Emagic seemed to release more interim versions than does Apple.


* - Particularly, the key commands that don't work, work intermittenly, or do other things they are not supposed to. Or the weird transposition by a half step or other weirder transpositions. Cutting a region creates a new copy of it afterward. Occasional crashes. Very long load times when you have samples (e.g. Battery, GPO, etc.) - and no option to switch between songs without those long loads each switch. Sounddiver screwing up song's midi permanently so you can't open SD and LP7 at the same time.

Well thats a Sound Diver issue and good luck getting anyone from Apple 
to even acknowledge Sound Diver exists anymore.

I think that the song switch with plugins issue is a necessary evil if one needs to have all 
those samples available for playback when one's MIDI editing involves working with 
multiple files (copy/paste operations for the most part, I think, or just comparisons). I 
don't think the computational power is available at this time (for the most of us) to keep all 
of that data in RAM, which I think would be necessary to have seamless switching.  In that 
sense, Logic does us a favor by clearing the RAM when switching files.  Imagine the 
crashing othewise.

That said, there is a way to speed the editing process up a bit if one can temporarily live 
without complete audio feedback while working with tracks in multiple songs, and that is 
by selectively disabling the plugin load in the Logic AU Manager (see my earlier posting on 
this: [Glory, Glory. Plugin Disable Now Available (with some drawbacks)] <http://
launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/Logic_Cafe/message/1842>.

One does not even have to disable them all to save time.  For example, in a heavy 
orchestration, one could allow a comp or other guiding part to load that is voiced with a 
quick loading Logic or Garageband instrument, while temporarily disabling the forever-to-
load memory hogs, such as those in the EWQLSO library. If one knows one will be 
spending a lot of time at this level of work, I'd say it definitely pays to work in this manner.

And if one really needs to 'hear' more, but has an awful lot of music processing to do, one 
could always disable the fat plugins and drag their MIDI to an external device track, or to 
another faster loading plugin track, restoring the notes to the original re-enabled plugin 
track when all is ready.

As has been pointed out by Paul N., this option apparently has been available since 7.0 
(my mistake).
