I’ve used Logic Pro for donkeys years. Over time it has become bloated and feels fragile at times. The updates patch some problems or deliver new features, but never seem to manage to do it properly. They really need to sort out core efficiency - silicon and the new generation are incredibly powerful Macs, and Logic shouldn’t struggle with 3rd party plugins - but it does, regularly. Needing to engage an audio channel while playing back midi, to prevent clicks and pops, is incredibly frustrating. Low latency mode should be unnecessary, especially for +M1 Macs, but on Logic it’s absolutely necessary. Ableton doesn’t have the same issues (albeit it has others), but even still Logic is Apple Native, so it should really feel much more integrated. The plugins need updating, we don’t need more AI features, we need better quality editing tools for audio and midi and automation, improved file system and previews, ARA support, and better handling of core efficiency so that the music we produce doesn’t have to be constrained by freezing tracks or bouncing in place, to get around the performance issues. Please sort this out Logic.
