New Logic Platinum Update Includes G5 Optimizations
August 20, 2003
Coinciding with the release of Apple's PowerMac G5, Emagic offers the first Logic version
optimized for the 64 Bit personal computer.
This new Logic Platinum version is available in the form of the Version
6.2 update, and is a requirement when running Logic on the G5. All
registered owners of Logic Platinum 6.x can now find this as a free
download at www.emagic.de.
Musicians will experience an increase in both speed and
performance when using the combination of Logic Platinum 6.2 and the G5, leading to the ability to work on noticeably larger projects than ever before,
including more software instruments, audio tracks and effects plug-ins.
"The G5 is a dream machine for musicians," says Dr Gerhard Lengeling,
Emagic co-founder and Chief Architect Audio Applications. "The
introduction of the first 64 Bit desktop processor means a huge step
towards an integrated computer-based native music production system. One
that includes software instruments, composing and post-production tools.
As a musician you will experience an incredible performance boost. Not
only CPU-hungry plug-ins, obviously, but also those functions which
require moving lots of audio data in RAM benefit greatly from the
extremely fast new bus architecture."
Many aspects of audio applications will profit from the new G5 Frontside
Bus; for example, especially when large amounts of audio data must be
streamed, or moved in memory. This includes audio inputs and outputs plus
audio busses within an application's internal mixer. Logic
Platinum 6.2 also includes special performance optimizations for Power Mac
G5 models with dual processors.
