Apple has updated Logic to version 9.1.2. This update improves overall stability, provides numerous fixes and improvements, and is recommended for all users of Logic Pro 9.
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.

Compatibility:
- Improves compatibility with 6- and 12-core Mac Pro systems.

- Supports REX files when running in 64-bit mode.
- Improves compatibility with select Audio Unit plug-ins.
- The expanded System Performance window now accurately reflects the number of available real cores on all supported computers.
- Logic no longer inadvertently reloads the content for third-party sampler plug-ins such as Native Instrument’s Kontakt after tracks are deleted, or after some other edits are performed.

- 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.
- Resolves an issue in Logic 9.1.1 which could cause the Score to not display all notes from a region that had been split with the Scissors tool.

- When pasting MIDI events into the Arrange area, the playhead no longer jumps unexpectedly to a position far to the right of the end of the pasted content.
Instruments and Effects:
- Amp Designer now reliably maintains saved non-default EQ settings when a project is reloaded.
- The Wah Wah stompbox now responds more reliably to expression pedal input.
- EXS24 loads and plays back instruments that use short AAC or ALAC audio files when Virtual Memory is disabled.

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.
