It does appear to be better(prbb). Although, in Logic 9, like in 8, unless I select the TI track in REC mode, it kicks in late. I'm not just talking about arps here, I mean normal sounds too. So that info marc was talking about obviously did not come to light. I'll be long gone before I see my TI work smooth with Logic. No sneeze yet though...I just want to create without hiccups and this very expensive machine has been a ballache from day one.....
