Key features I am excited about!

Render when you want.

Bounce-in-Place lets you quickly render effects for a single region or an entire track. You might use it when you’re ready to apply a plug-in destructively to an audio file, when you want to bounce an effect before doing more to a track, or when you want to transfer files between applications.



More plug-ins, less power.

Most applications switch on the juice for plug-ins as soon as they’re inserted. But Logic Pro features an intelligent DSP engine that asks for power only when a signal runs through the plug-in. So go ahead, pile on the instruments and effects. It will take more than that to slow you down.



Harness multiple computers.

Use distributed audio processing to combine the power of multiple computers on a network, and your plug-in processing power can be virtually unlimited. It even works for third-party plug-ins.

The bounce in place thing would be cool. That's one of the main things I like about Live being able to freeze and then flatten on the track.

Surprised it didn't already do the cpu optimization when audio wasn't playing, thought most DAWs do that by now. I believe the VST3 spec has done this in Cubase 4, not sure about Live though.
