Anyone using one of the new iMac intels with Logic Pro?

Hey people the title says it all really. Anyone using that particular combination? More specifically the newer Core 2 Duo range.
If so, how is it handling Logic and perhaps your 3rd party plug-ins? I used to have a Dual 1.8 gig G5 (see spec below) and that was pretty powerfull but unfortunately one of the processors died so I had to sell it on. Now I'm thinking of getting an iMac due its size and price.
Cheers and beers everyone.
Dual 1.8 G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   3 Gig ram,

yup
this has been asked and answered a lot - but i'll bite:
I've got a imac c2d 2.16 2gb ram and it flies. haven't got close to making it sweat yet.
been running upto 8 audio tracks with between 3-7 plugins a track, 2-3 + space designers, stylus rmx with 4/5 instances and fx and maybe 3-4 soft synths - e.g. 2+ absynths and a couple of logic plugins plus an ultrabeat.
dmitedly i am comparing it to my old powerbook - but really it flies and i'm occasionally aso running imovie in the background and surfing the web if the whim takes me.
I'd recommend at least 2 gb ram - but although i bought mine in feb with the full knowledge that a new imac might be introduced soon, i'd have to say wait....check out macrumors buying guide as it's long overdue for an imac new model.
hope that helps,
rounik

    Yes. Any standalone display which can be connected to a Mini DisplayPort, with or without an adapter, can be plugged into a Thunderbolt port without any additional adapters.

    I share this person's pain.  And was just now about to ask the same question.  So, in effect we're screwed.  I have the disc but without a drive I think E12 and this computer is going to have a very short life in my life.  And for the life of me, why is so darn hard to get questions answered by Adobe?  Good grief...I have 2 books and have saty through enough video "tutorials" to last me for some time!

    So, the answer is No.  If they were 3rd Gen the series would start with a 3XXX.

  • How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

    How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

    Thanks for the additional information.
    Unfortunately, the AirPort Utility application in the Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems, which is used to configure the new Time Capsule does not support the older versions of the products that you have.
    Even if it did, there are no settings on the older AirPorts to "Extend a wireless network", so they are not compatible with the new Time Capsule if you intend to extend the network only using wireless connections.
    If you have the ability to connect each AirPort to the Time Capsule using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, it might be possible to use a complicated workaround to install an older version of AirPort Utility to configure the older AirPorts to work with the new Time Capsule.
    If you have another Mac there that is using the Leopard or Snow Leoapard operating system, things would likely be simpler. I have not done this type of procedure to mix a new Time Capsule with older AirPorts, so I would not be able to say whether this would work or not.

  • Does the new imac come with a cd/dvd player/burner?

    Does the new imac come with a cd/dvd player/burner?

    It's $80.00. You can buy other externals for less, I think, but only the Apple one will work with Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows and any other applications that will only work with an "internal" optical drive.
    If this isn't important for you, then explore less expensive alternatives. Check out OWC for example.

  • Is anyone using the novation impulse keyboard with Logic pro x?

    is anyone using the novation impulse keyboard with Logic pro x?
    I currently have an M-Audio Axium controller but I cannot map any of the controllers.
    I need to buy a 25 key controller anyway so I was hoping to get one that works well with Logic Pro X

    I have the Logitech S530 keyboard and mouse. I had no problems with it while I was using it with 2 PowerMac G5 and one Dell XPS, but when I got the MacPro I found that it doesn't work with MacPro and a KVM switch. Logitech says their keyboard and mice are NOT made to work with KVM switches, but I didn't find that until I started using it with the Mac Pro.
    The other small con is that the mouse is made for right handed people. On the other hand, I love the looks and feel of the keyboard and all the keys. It also will do the boot up holding down the Option key for choosing your startup drive and holding down the Shift key for Safe Mode, which the Kensington keyboard will not do.

  • Is the new imac compatible with the dell v313w printer for wireless connection?

    Is the new iMac compatible via wireless connection with the Dell V313W printer?

    Hi Sara!
    I got an email refering me to your post.  Ok, www.MacMall.com is a US website that sells Apple products.  I bought my iMac&printer through their website and worked with their customer service department to get my iMac communicating with the Dell V313W printer.  They have people that will take calls any time-any day at phone number 1-800-622-6255.  The other option since you are in France would be to contact a local Apple dealer...or see if they have an authorized dealer in Europe that could help.  I purchased the Apple Care Support contract with the iMac but they were unable to help since they weren't familiar with the Dell printer.
    As I mentioned in my previous post the things we tried were: 1) If I remember right... I downloaded the Dell V313W printer driver from the Dell website then connected the iMac to the printer via the USB cable and established communication. I then disconnected the cable and 2) I moved the iMac and printer closer to my wireless router then 3) I turned on "Printer Sharing" on the iMac - I think this is a critical step...to do this go to System Preferences > Hardware > Print&Scan.  In the window that opens make sure the box is checked that says "Share this printer on the network" then go to the "Sharing Preferences..." box and check the "Printer Sharing" and "Scanner Sharing" boxes in the window that opens.  When I did all this the iMac went through it's routine to find the printer and the connection was finally established! 
    One more thing, make sure if your wireless router is locked for security that you enter the correct password when prompted...this might have been one of my problems also!
    Hope this helps.
    All the best,
    mw

  • Anyone Used X-Bench on new iMac?

    Hello all,
    Anyone used X-Bench on the new 2.8 24" iMac? Mine has just been dleivered to my grans and am picking it up in a bit. Got a 24" now and was wondering how it was performing.
    Ryan

    In fact, yes, there have been some tests done by Other World Computing. Bottom line: the 2.8 GHz iMac beats the others. Looks like the performance scales equally between the 2.0, 2.4, and 2.8 GHz models.

  • I'm thinking of  buying one of the new Imacs and am presently a PC user - how hard is it or how can I transfer files from my PC to a new IMac

    I am thinking about purchasing a new IMac and presently use a PC.  I would like to find out how difficult it is to transfer files from the PC to the IMac or in more detail - just how is it done.  Many thanks for any responses.

    There are several ways by which it can be done. There is a special Migration Assistant for transferring an entire user account from a PC to the Mac. You would have to establish a network connection between the two machines.
    Transfer the files you want to an external USB hard drive from the PC then transfer from the external drive to the Mac.
    Ask the Apple retailer if they will transfer your data to the new Mac at the time of purchase. You will need to bring the PC with you.

  • Using one of the new WLS DAQ products on a rotating platform or something similar?

    I am considering strapping one of the WLS DAQ devices, such as a WLS-9215, to a motorized rotation stage spinning at 1-10 Hz. 
    My main objective is to eliminate twisting/breaking wires without using slip rings.
    Any experience or insight would be appreciated.

    TEP,
    Unless your spinning platform is quite large, I doubt you'll have a problem. The wireless DAQ devices use industry-standard 802.11x connectivity, which should be OK at the relatively low speeds you've mentioned. I agree that you'll want to test it when you get it, but I doubt you'll experience connection problems.

  • I just got one of the new iMac.  following the on screen instructions to do migration assist.  I guess it connected via wifi to my old iMac.  now it seems to have stopped.  what can I do to not mess it all up?  how long will it take on wifi?

    I just got a new iMac.  was following the onscreen instructions to do migration assistance and I guess it connected to my old iMac via wi fi. It never instructed me to connect via firewire.  Now it seems to have stopped.  what can I do that won't completely mess it up?  how Long will it take to do over wi fi?

    Your new iMac does not have a Firewire port so you ned this adapter:

  • Using a Behringer FCB 1010 foot controller with Logic Pro

    I am trying to develop an interactive live processing set-up using Logic Pro and, for the time being, a Behringer FCB 1010 foot controller. So far I having zero success. Can someone offer a suggestion as to how to program this controller to do even the simplest function, like controlling the volume of a channel strip with one of the Berhringer's continuous controller pedals?
    Best regards, Dan
    Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Thank you both for your input. I am back on the case again, this time with a fully functioning FCB1010. Right ou of the box the pedal does successfully send volume and pan with expression pedal a and b respectively.
    What I would next like to accomplish is to have exp. ped. b now control a plug-in parameter instead, the pedal range on the fuzz-wah plug-in of Logic Pro 7 for expample.
    When I use Automation Quick Access to edit the assignment of ped. b as Bryan suggested, Logic appears to be receiving the info from ped. b and creating the new assignment (as indicated in the Controller Assignments window), and yet the actual functionality doesn't change, that is, ped. b continues to control pan.
    Any suggestions?

  • Do I need the original dongle key with logic pro 9

    I have had Logic since version 7. I now have Logic Pro 9. Do I still need that dongle key in my computer to work in Logic 9.

    Defintely keep it. I suffered a HD failiure recently and once I managed to restore to a new drive Logic asked me for the original XS key or the serial number of Logic 7 and then the serial number of Logic 9. I keep my XS key and the serial numbers of 7 and 8 in the box with 9.
