Logic Express and Logic Pro 9.1.1 released
Apple on Thursday night released version 9.1.1 updates for Logic Express (138.8MB) and Logic Pro (191.9MB). The patching focuses on extending 64-bit support and, in Logic Express, adds support for 64-bit native mode. as well as compatibility with 64-bit Audio Unit plugins. Other fixes in Express allow support for file names longer than 32 characters and proper sample mapping when Contiguous Zones is used in the EXS module.
Logic Pro's fixes are subtler and include better stability when using the 32-bit Audio Unit Bridge as well as 64-bit compatibility with the Euphonix Eucon protocal and Novation's Automap feature.
Both updates are recommended for all existing users. Updating in 32-bit mode requires Mac OS X 10.5.7, while 64-bit support requires at least Mac OS X 10.6.2.
