What’s new in v1.1

A special thanks to the Logic Buddy users who’ve been very helpful in recommending ideas and improvements to Logic Buddy.

The latest release v1.1 is available now! Its complete with bug fixes and new features. For people that are using ARA Files in their projects Logic Buddy will now display ‘ARA’ next to the song key in the Project Details. There’s now an experimental feature which can be enabled in the Settings which will launch these projects in Rosetta mode! So, if you’re a producer using an M-Series mac and you’ve been switching back and forth between native Apple silicon mode and Rosetta mode in Logic Pro to deal with ARA projects this can make things easier! Be aware that if you use this feature you’ll have to quit Logic Pro first when switching back and forth between Rosetta and Apple native mode.

This version now features a ‘Search for Projects’ button in the Monitor tab in the Settings. Logic Buddy usually avoids searching for projects and instead gets notified by macOS when a project is added or changed but just in case anything falls through the cracks you can use this button to manually start another search which will get all the latest project details!

There’s also been some improvement to reduce memory usage even further so that Logic Buddy can run with very little requirements in the background. It’ll idle at 0% CPU so that you can have it running in the background while using Logic Pro to make it convenient to update the status of the project as soon as you close it!

Since this is the first blog post, I’ll also mention in case you missed it that if you want to bulk delete Logic Buddy records that this can be done by removing the folder in the Monitor tab in the Settings. If you’re not 100% sure, please do a backup of the database first from the Manage menu.
