Have to say I'm impressed with it too.
It runs rock solid on my Hack, Logic 9 was a crashing mess at times.
I'm guessing it's partially the absence of 32 bit bridge and being 64 bit only.

One thing that tripped me up was when playing with the "Smart Controls" - all the knob twirling seems to get recorded by just having the track armed.
Was wondering why I was getting ghostly animated attack envelopes randomly on playback

I love the new Logic Pro X, i only miss the 32Bit support.

Here's a strange thing: I am running Logic Pro X on my Macbook Pro Retina (i7, 4 cores), and on my Hackintosh (i7, 4 cores, 3770K, Gigabyte z77 TH board).

On the Retina Macbook, the CPU meter (in the transport bar after double-clicking it) shows 8 threads, and Activity Monitor shows 8 threads.

But on the Hackintosh, Logic X only shows 4 threads, but Activity Monitor shows 8 threads. The only explanation I can think of is that my system definition on the Hackintosh is MacPro3,1. I am going to try and change it to 5,1 and see if that makes a difference.

Make sure that your audio settings are set for 8 threads, and not automatic- or lesser thread values. See attached images for more explanation. I have placed the CPU meter from logic next to the window, make sure that when you change your values you press apply.

Cheers,
All the best!

For using Logic with all the various plugins, plus HD4600 video, 8GB RAM is probably not a lot. I would try to increase to 16GB RAM in order to improve overall performance

Have you tried the Logic Benchmark Test from Gearslutz? --> http://www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/371545-logic-pro-multicore-benchmarktest.html

Have seen that the new MacPros get up to insane 170 tracks. How may tracks does your system play? Also there are entries with the new MacBook Pros which get up to 100 tracks.

Mine:

Tracks: 100
Buffer Size: 256
CPU: 3770k @ 4.5Ghz
RAM: 16GB
