Logic Pro 9 EastWest Play and Logic

[Pete Thomas]

I've heard some reports that Play is not playing nice with Logic. I've just ordered Symphonic Choirs (as an upgrade to my old and seemingly obsolete) Kontakt version). I am wondering if it will be fine with 9.1.6 running on Lion.

Does anyone have any good/bad experience?

Soundsonline tech support have assured me it will be fine with Logic, but I was worried by this bit of their advice:

"Be sure the play.dll file can be seen by your HOST by putting it in your HOSTS VST Folder". This sounds a bit odd, why would Logic need a .dlll file in a VST folder?

Hi Pete,

East West is fine, no issues (other than the bad timing issues every now and then or a bad loop, but they are relatively rare). I suspect they thought you were on a PC, since a Mac and Logic don't use either VST or DLL files, only a windows computer.

I use them , as well as a number of my clients. As for Lion... I can't say. I have a lion system but haven't used them on it due to a tech issue with the ilok and my machine, but on snow leopard I have one system that uses Play no problem.

Yes, exactly my thoughts, but that was a reply to my (presales) question as to whether there might be any issues specifically with Logic on Lion

As for Lion... I can't say. I have a lion system but haven't used them on it due to a tech issue with the ilok and my machine,

That's a bit worrying. I haven't used an iLok before, I just ordered iLok 2 to go with it. I hope that as the right thing to do.

I just upgraded to Lion and my iLok is fine.

I just upgraded to Lion and my iLok is fine.

Ah well that's good to know. I just worry as the tech support at EastWest doesn't seem too on the ball.

My experience is that Joey Medina in particular is top notch.

The Iloks are fine Pete... I have a more unusual system...

Ilok 1 and 2, Lion and Play is working fine here. No problems at all but of course RAM is very important since most of the EastWest stuff is pretty heavy.
