Seems as it won't solve all problems: "Internal audio resolution: 32-bit floating point; 64-bit precision where required". This might be a sign for 64-bit capabilities, but somehow I doubt on it ... What's sure: 64-bit audio will require more computational expense. But, ok - might be obvious.  Verdict: Overall a BIG disappointment!

Will the Performance Tool and Pro/Horizon continue to work in Logic Studio?

i couldn't find the thread, but suppose martin posted that the performance tool will work also with the next version of logic.
for details about if and how to authorize it considering there seems to be no longer an XSkey i am waiting for a reply from apple.

and remember: a CRAY is the only computer that runs an endless loop in just four hours ...

christian Martin answered affirmatively. I'm concerned about the news regarding the XSkey.

Sorry, I don't really know much about computers and so I appologise for the stupid question!!!
But, does this mean that logic 8 is 64bit and can therefore access more than 4GB of RAM when leopard arrives?

Maybe I am being thick but I'm not a Logic user, so perhaps someone can help me out.
Under one of the new features it talks about distributed audio processing technology which "allows you to harness the processing power of multiple computers on a network, providing virtually limitless plug-in processing power."
Does this mean we can use some magic in Logic 8 and link up all our mac mini farms running VSL ala FX Teleport?
TIA

I'm not sure why you're disappointed about that - 32-bit audio resolution surely refers to bit depth of the audio stream, not whether the app will run with a 64-bit OS (and be able to use the RAM improvements that come with it). Don't forget - audio coming out of the VI's is at 24-bit. M Martin Thornton <a href="http://www.mosso.co.uk/" target="_blank">www.mosso.co.uk</a>

I don't think you will be able to. Basically node operation is as before but third party AU EFFECTS (not instruments) have been added. The Logic 8 New Features document is helpful: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/New_Features_in_Logic_Pro_8.pdfAnd also the Late Breaking News: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/Logic_Pro_8.0_lbn_z.pdf Dom

In the manual it says (page 100)
Distributed audio processing allows you to expand the processing capacity of your Logic Pro system. It does this by offloading calculations for software instruments or effects to additional Macintosh Node computers, connected via Gigabit Ethernet. This is perfect when using numerous instances of CPU-intensive software synthesizers or effects, such as Sculpture or Space Designer.
Am I getting over excited?
UPDATE: On reading further it has this somewhat weird caveat:
What Can’t Be Processed on a Node
The Node buttons are available for all audio and software instrument tracks. There are,however, some exceptions:
Audio Unit software instruments: When an Audio Unit software instrument track is selected, the Node button is automatically turned off.
So what's the difference between a software instrument track and an AU software instrument track?

Logic own instruments can go to nodes (not sampler, not multi-outs).
Also curious about the performance tool under dongle-less Logic ....

Guess this calms our tempers a bit:
Taken from the "Logic Studio & Effects" manual (downloadable on Apple's support site):
"Using the VSL Performance Tool
The EXS24 mkII features an additional interface for the Vienna Symphonic Library Performance Tool. The Performance Tool software provided by VSL needs to be installed to allow access to this interface. For details please refer to the VSL documentation."
From my point of view, it seems that the current version of the PT will work with Logic 8. I wouldn't be surprised ... after nearly nothing has changed on the EXS itself.
All the best,
Hans-Peter

Hi, Sorry to repeat myself, but I am still confused!! But, does this mean that logic 8 is 64bit and can therefore access more than 4GB of RAM when leopard arrives?  ops:

Well, a 64-bit audio-application has to recalculate the 32-bit audio stream compared to a natively working 32-bit app. Therefor it might be a good sign when 64-bit audio capabilities are integrated. I just wonder why Apple pre-configured Logic for 32-bit streams as it would cost a lot more CPU. (So that's my technical knowledge, which is limited though. If something's wrong, maybe Christian could shed some light in.) Apart from this I haven't found anything about 64-bit at the user's manual (even not internal precision related). Hope that makes my points understandable. All the best, Hans-Peter

That's why we won't see any improvements regarding RAM-usage probably. Nevertheless I hope being wrong. All the best, Hans-Peter

well, it would be great if we would not need the dongle anymore for the PT now .... - no dongle protection would be great (the other PTs are also not protected by a dongle .... K2 is not protected at all .....)
