[Magic]

For all Magic v3 Beta testers: we just published a new build, 3.0 Beta 5, which you can download from your account: https://magicmusicvisuals.com/account/index.php

This build has the following updates:

- Minor improvements for Mac audio device connections/disconnections
- Improved line number reporting for ISF compile errors
- Fix for ISF IMG_ issues that Sadler reported
- A couple other very minor ISF fixes

[Sadler]

IMG_ issues all tested and correct. The improved line number is also tested and correct and will save a lot of time finding errors. Thank you.

I have just purchased Magic Performer Version 3 and activated it (as it shows on my account) but the program will not load. After opening, a message appears saying that it is scanning modules, then configuring audio at which point the message disappears and nothing happens, the program does not load. My system is an Intel Core Ultra 9 285k processor with 128 Gb of ram. GPU is an Asus 3060ti. Audio interface Presonus Studio 24c. This system runs V2.5 perfectly well. I could use your help please.

Hi Stuart, are you running 3.0b5? If you are running an earlier version, please download b5 from your account: https://magicmusicvisuals.com/account

Hi, and thank you for your prompt response. I'm pretty sure I was already running 3.0b5 but I downloaded it again and reinstalled it and it's now working fine. Many thanks.

Hi there. Basic question. I just purchased a v3.0b5 license.
I haven't installed yet, and I have a performance next week, where I will be using Magic, so I won't install until after the show.

My question is:
Will the stable v2.5 and v3.0 (any update/version) coexist on my drive, or will v3.0x overwrite the older app and/or older preferences?

If you rename v2.5 in your /Applications folder (for example, Magic25) then it won't be removed when you install a new version.

Then you can use both v2.5 and v3.0 on the same computer.
