I reported this to Emagic via their website weeks ago, and had absolutely no response from them. I would be interested to know how many other people have this problem (or indeed, if anyone doesn't). Here's the description of my problem in a mail that I wrote to the list on this subject a short while ago: Logic's track/hyperdraw automation seems to be lagging, despite the fact that I have "Sample Accurate Pan, Volume and Send" checked in "Audio Preferences". For example if I want to implement a sample volume drop, I find I'm having to draw the actual drop in about a 1/16 beat earlier, otherwise I'll hear the glitch of the sample cutting out! I wouldn't expect there to be such lag, as this used to work fine on my 8200/120. It's really infuriating, as if you use a lot of track automation (as I do), you feel as though you are making changes in the dark.
