Is it worth upgrading to Logic 12?

[Kevin Gibbs]

I realize a question like this is hideously general and incredibly subjective. But is there anything really important in logic 12 for someone who is essentially MIDI CENTRIC?

Best thing you can do is back up the current version of Logic and update. Also check the release note to see if anything catches your fancy. I haven’t explored enough of the Piano Roll stuff yet.

Logic updated this morning, but I currently have a mac mini 2018. That is going to be slow, but my new Mac Studio getshere next week. From what I saw, they totally reorganized the stock library -- not your personal folders of patches you've made. But it looks really good, Alchemy didn't throw any errors when loading patches, and I look forward to looking at what they've got. I notice there's quite a bit of new orchestral and other sounds needed downloading. I definitely think it's well worth the upgrade. I'll know more once my Mac Studio with the M4 chip gets here.

Other than making a copy of the application, is there anything else I need to back up?
