Apple Updates Logic to 9.1.2

In case you missed it, Apple released an update to Logic yesterday. Before updating, you might want to check this thread over at KVR, as it seems the new version has caused problems for some users. Here's what's new:

"This update improves overall stability, provides numerous fixes and improvements, and is recommended for all users of Logic Pro 9. Running Logic Pro 9.1.2 in 64-bit mode requires Mac OS X v10.6.2 Snow Leopard or later. For information about running Logic Pro in 64-bit mode, see this article.

Some issues addressed in this update include but are not limited to:

Performance and Stability

• Logic’s performance while playing movies at larger than 300% native size in 64-bit mode has been improved.
• Resolves an issue that could cause the warning dialog “Memory Getting Low” to appear when simultaneously recording multiple tracks in 32-bit mode.
• Resolves an issue that could cause the warning dialog “Specified volume doesn’t exist -35” to appear when simultaneously recording multiple tracks in 32-bit mode.
• Using the Undo command after a "Bounce in Place" command now correctly reinserts used plug-ins on the channel strip.
• Performing Undo after using the "Bounce - Replace All Tracks" command now correctly restores all automation.

• Logic Control or Mackie Control hardware control surfaces no longer switch to plug-in edit view when a plug-in on slots 8-15 is removed.

MIDI Editing

• Resolves an issue introduced in Logic 9.1 where using the Marquee tool to trim the end of a MIDI region could extend the number of loops for regions earlier in the same track.
• The Piano Roll now updates as expected to show the currently selected MIDI take.

Instruments and Effects

File Handling and Management

• Resolves an issue which sometimes caused the text after a period in a plug-in setting name to be lost on the first save of the setting.
