We are delighted to offer a beta of our upcoming Comic Life Magiq 1.0.3 update.
It has numerous stability and significant performance improvements over 1.0.2.1 - so we would love previous users to download and let us know if you come across any issues.
A free update for Comic Life Magiq is available for all users.
Identical to 1.0.2c in all but version number, which has been changed to ensure 1.0.2 users are made aware of the 1.0.2c update via the menu: Comic Life Magiq > Check for Updates...
This 1.0.2.1 update is recommended for all 1.0.2 users and fixes a serious saving issue introduced in 1.0.2 that caused images to be left out of the document.
If you're already running 1.0.2c (v10939) you can "Skip This Version".
Head to the plasq downloads page to get the 1.0.2.1 update or update from within Comic Life Magiq.

hi there babybloc,
Rax should be smooth as silk on your system. can you try just using the internal soundcard (built-in audio) and see if you get the same result.
is garageband as 'slow'?

I've just been trying this, and I really like the idea of having something designed to play through, not to record/mix/edit. I just wanted to try out effects, and play around, maybe live eventually.
So far, it's fun, but seems to drag and hog CPU on my little (?) 15" Powerbook (1.25GHz, with 1.25 GB ram). My 100GB drive is pretty full, with 13GB free this evening, does RAX need big empty drive space? I didn't see system requirements on your home-page, are they there somewhere?
I'm only running one real instrument through my Presonus Firebox. Rax hung a few times and I had to force-quit. Once it took a long time to register that quit, and hung slooowing down the whole system. Drag.
It feels like it sometimes takes a long time to register mouse clicks, and the "user" CPU runs pretty high. Not as hot as Garageband, which seems to use "System" level CPU more, according to Activity Monitor. One of my goals is to play-through better than Garageband, but I wish it was a little quicker for me.
I haven't even tried the visualizations yet. Just getting the basic audio working.
Don't know if I'll buy this yet, sure might if I get it going. I really tried to find an app that does this, and here it is; I hope it works for me.
Any suggestions for getting it to run, "snappier?"
