Buying Logic Studio 9
Dear ALL,
I would like to buy Logic Studio 9, but I am not sure if ALL the updates (9.1) will need to be purchased separately...
If so, that make the price for the overall package nearly 800$...
Did I get it right?
Thanks in advance for your advice

Hello Ciccio, do not worry, you will not need to purchase the updates separately. The updates are for free once you have installed the original Logic Studio 9 on your computer. I have just updated to 9.1.3. Of course, whenever a new version of Logic is released (eg version 10 one day), it will very probably be a paid upgrade. All the best, Carlos.

Hello, good day, my question is, buy Logic Express, but then put logic pro 9 in the same price, I can not buy logic studio, and let me know if I buy now logic pro, I can buy separately after jams that bring logic studio. thanks
José, if you buy and download Logic Pro in App Store now, the best option would be to buy an upgrade to Logic Studio. I don't think Jam Packs are available any more in Apple Store, besides it will be more expensive buying them one by one than upgrading to Studio.
Español: José, si compras y bajas Logic Pro de App Store ahora, despues la mejor opción será comprar el upgrade a Logic Studio. No creo que estos dias fuera posible comprar Jam Packs de Apple Store, y además comprarlos uno por uno seria más caro que el upgrade a Studio. -
Which version is good for me to buy? Logic 8 express or Logic studio?
As I said in another post, I did till now all my work in Garageband. I compose mainly classical music for all kind of instruments, I don't do anything with electronic music, nor do I write pop kind of music. What I did in Garageband was setting up my tracks for the orchestra instruments, or solo piano, or chamber instruments, give them a pan position according to the Jam pack orchestra manual, and added at the end of the recording some reverb. The result is mostly good enough but especially for bigger instrumental groups, like orchestra or strings, I am not happy with the result.
This is the reason I am looking around in the Logic 8 world. I want to have better results. My question now is should I buy Logic Studio or Logic 8 express?
What is the difference between the two except the extra jam packs? I already have the Orchestra and voices jam pack and have many orchestral sound fonts that I bought in the past.
Mainstage is meant to be used for stage performence, right? I will never use something like that if it is, or maybe I didn't understand yet what Mainstage is about.
Studio effects: Logic 8 express does also have reverb effect, but are they good enough to make a good classical orchestral recording? Or do I need Studio for this?
Soundtrack Pro 2: A wave editor. This maybe I could use although I never felt the need for this in Garageband. Still, you never know.
SO what do I miss exactly when buying the express version?
Hope to get some advice on this.
Andr+eContinue to use GarageBand until some new update for Logic Pro is released because upon opening your GarageBand 09 v5.0.1 projects into Logic Pro 8.0.2 you will receive the message, "Warning! This Project was created by a newer Logic Pro version. This may cause problems. Please update Logic Pro." After I hit "OK", a message says, "Logic Pro: Plug-in “Pedals” not available!, and then "Logic Pro: Plug-in “AmpSim2” not available!
Logic Pro is not for sampling right now because of my experience using it with my Mac Pro (Early 2008) 8 Core 3.2GHz, 32 Gig RAM, and Quadro FX 5600. I told the Apple store sales guy at the Apple Store that I needed comparable hardware and software for my new Mac Pro comparable to my Tascam GigaSampler PC workstation. He also had me get advice from the top trainer for Apple Logic Pro One to One training at their store. I made it clear my needs were to have the same capabilities and performance at that time that are possible with Tascam GigaSampler. The trainer said he sold his PC he used for sampling. So, in order to afford my Mac Pro, I sold my PC. Big mistake. Now I have not been able to continue working on many projects, now in the in-progress archive of mine, that I can not open anymore because Logic will not access even 3 Gigs of memory for projects with the EXS24 or any other sampler for that matter. With my Tascam Gigasampler accessing 16 Gigs was a breeze with no error messages. This enhancement will not be available until some update is released for Logic Pro above version 8.0.2. -
What's the difference between Logic Studio 8 & 9?
is it me or is the ONLY difference between Logic Studio 8 & 9 the fact the LS9 can run in 64-bit mode?
I've owned Logic Studio 8 since about a year after it came out. About a year ago I got a Pro that's got Snow Leopard on it, so I installed LS8 on it. My Pro is running in 64-bit mode, but LS8 only runs in 32-bit mode, so I thought I'd "Upgrade" & buy Logic Studio 9 a couple of days ago. I just installed it yesterday & ran it for the first time today. I don't see ANY differce at all between 8 & 9 EXCEPT that Logic Pro & Main Stage both have a 64-bit mode. ALL of the synths & their presets are the same. All of the loops & jam packs look the same. Did I just pay all that $$$ just to get a 64-bit version of what I already had?
I've tried looking on this site & everything I find is about Logic Pro X. Is there anyone out there that knows enough about this to tell me for sure what the real differences are between Logic Studio 8 & 9?Check Wikipedia - of course there are more differences:
Logic Pro 9
On July 23, 2009, Logic Pro 9 was announced. A major new feature included "Flex Time", Apple's take on "elastic" audio, which allows audio to be quantized.[5] A version of the pedalboard from GarageBand was included, together with a new virtual guitar amplifier where the modeled components could be combined in different ways. There were also a number of improvements to audio editing, fulfilled user requests such as "bounce in place" and selective track and channel strip import, as well as an expanded content library including one more Jam Pack. Some of the bundled software, including MainStage 2 and Soundtrack Pro 3, was also improved. Logic Pro 9 is Universal Binary, although not officially supported for use on PowerPC computers.[6] SoundDiver, which had been quietly bundled with previous versions, was dropped, eliminating support for arguably the world's most popular synthesizer editor/librarian. As Apple has bundled so many software instruments with Logic, it is not likely that we'll see the return of integration with external synthesizer hardware to the Logic platform.[citation needed]
On January 12, 2010, Apple released Logic Pro 9.1, an Intel only release, thereby officially discontinuing Logic for the PowerPC platform. Logic Pro 9.1 has the option of running in 64 bit mode, which allows the application to address more memory than in the past. Says Apple "With 64-bit mode, the application memory is not limited to 4GB as with 32-bit applications, so there is essentially no practical limit by today's standards.". Third party plug-ins that are 32 bit are still compatible, but will run from a 'wrapper' inside Logic Pro itself.
On December 9, 2011, Apple announced that Logic Pro Studio 9 would no longer be available on DVD, and would only be sold via the Mac App Store. The price was reduced from $499 to $199.99 for the Logic Pro app, and $29.99 for MainStage. The download was just over 400mb, and 19gb of optional loops were available as in-app downloads.[7] -
How can I upgrade the solo version of Logic Pro 9 to Logic Studio?
I just would like to know how and where to upgrade logic pro to logic studio
First of all, Erik is correct.. Logic Studio has been discontinued.. However, there are a few copies left around I am sure... to purchase if you really wanted to...
But.....
Unless you really want Waveburner and Soundtrack Pro 3..(Neither of which have been updated for at least a couple of years now..) there is little point in buying Logic Studio 2... as it will cost you $499... and you can buy Compressor and Mainstage (the other two parts of Logic Studio) for much less than that on the App Store.... and the additional content (that actually took up most of the DVDs in the boxed set) can be downloaded for free within Logic Pro itself.
I think a newer version is soon to be announce.
Not of Logic Studio there won't be.. I believe boxed sets of Logic are long dead and gone... and won't be seen again... It's all App Store products from now on...
There may well be a newer version of Logic Pro on the way.. but no one knows when.... until Apple announce it. -
Right,
So i've upgraded to MAC OS X Lion to find out that Logic Studio 8 no longer works, so I tried to downlaod Logic Studio 9 but no serial would work.
So I found online that a guy figured out how to open Logic Pro 8 with OS X Lion from going through some way of doing it so I uninstaled Logic 9 and have just tried to instal Logic Studio 8 again, only to find that the new operatin system doesn't even let me launch the installer anymore.
I now have two options. To buy Logic Studio 9, or try and figure away around it.
My friend has all Logic Studio 8 on his mac, is it possible that if I found out all the different files that Logic Pro 8 needs to function and copied them off his macbook onto mine into the correct places that Logic 8 would work??
Please help with this, really desparate to get this back up and running as I use Logic live in my band and have a gig this saturday!
Thanks.it was a long shot to get it, just think it's a joke to ask people to spend another £166 on Logic 9 just because that operating system doesnt support it, it should support all versions but hey, it's another way of making money.
i have been looking but haven't found an answer as yet, very frustrating.
another way i've found is to just reboot my mac bac to snow leapord factory settings, but i don't have the discs for snow leapord. -
Logic Studio price difference USD AUD
I was wondering why it costs over $250 more to buy logic studio from the Australian store?
In the U.S it costs $499 USD which converts to $492.15 AUD as of this time i am posting this.
I know there are shipping fees but $250 worth?
Hope you can help, thankscdproducerz wrote:

Installing logic studio on separate harddisk.
hello i am considering to buy logic studio, but i havent got enough diskspace on my macbook pro.
- is it possible to install only the 7 gigs of programs,(then i will end up having 20 gigs on my laptop, is that good enough??? (performancewise))
- and then install the rest of the 39 gigs on a separate 800FW hardisk directly. someone told me i had to install everything to my laptop first and then move the files over to a separate harddisk, is that so? hope not!!
thanks to anyone who can help out!

Unfortunately that's the way it is. Laptop users have to install everything onto the system drive first and then you can move all the Jam packs and Loops to an external and reindex it in the Logic library.
Hey SC, I keep seeing you posting this, but I've had a different experience. I did end up installing the Jam Packs to my internal drive on my MBP, but even though I did, the option to install on my external was there and available for me to choose. Also, I did decide to install the 20gb of Soundtrack Pro content to my external through the installer, and it worked just fine.
teupkasa - my advice is to try it out and see if it works for you. As stated above, my installer allowed me the option to install content on an external, and some of it I did. If it turns out that your installer doesn't allow you to do this, you can install just programs on your HD, and then use a program called Pacifist to extract the content from the installers and put it wherever you want it to be.
Good Luck! -
I bought logic studio with compressor 3.5 what happens if I buy compressor 4.0, will it work with Logic? should I get a free upgrade since I bought it recently?
I don't see any problems but I haven't used it a lot.

I am buying a new macbookpro which comes with Lion. Lion has Quicktime X. Logic Studio comes with Quicktime Pro 7. Do I have to download Quicktime 7, or will Logic Studio work fine with the Quicktime X player? Will there be a Quicktime Pro X soon?
your new lion-machine should have quicktime 7, too. if it doesn't, and if it doesn't show up after you migrated your stuff from you old machine you can always reinstall it from the logic dvd's, it's part of logic. my recommendation is to always use quicktime 7, since it's got many features that are absent in quicktime x. quicktime x is nothing but a polished video player. in quicktime 7 (pro, comes with logic) you can even do edits and paste your music onto video files. i use it all the time, especially since logic 64bit doesn't export to video anymore.

Logic Studio 8 on a G4 dual 1.25?
I've noticed the minimum requirements for running the Logic Studio 8 bundle is a G4 1.25 with 1gig ram, but G5 or Intel processor, as well as 2gig or more of ram recommended. I'm currently running Logic Express 7.2 on a G4 dual 1.25 with 2gigs of ram in OSX 10.4.10. This machine is maxed out. I like LE 7, and was considering waiting for a price drop in pro 7 after 8 were to come out. But, with the price of the Studio 8, it seems better to go for the latest. I'm not ready to get a new machine just yet. Does anyone have any idea how Logic Pro would be on this G4 dual 1.25? I'm just wondering if the cpu could be not up to handling it. I wouldn't record more than 2 tracks at a time, and eventually be running approximately 10-20 track with various plug-ins during mixing, etc. My guess is it would depend on how many plug ins and tracks I actually use. Hmm.I thought about going with LE 8, I'm really only interested in Pro 8's plug ins (space designer, etc.) and the jam packs. LE 8 might have similar limitations on my machine as well. Any thoughts, help, feedback would be greatly appreciated. I may consider finding a soon to be discounted version of Logic Pro 7 if I might work better on my machine.
Hey Paul,
as you don't require too much, maybe that machine will undle a little bit more. :o)
Space Designer's is heavy, if you don't abuse it, use it on the master instead of
every channel strip track. Use the freeze buttons or even bounce and import the file to free
the processor.
In my advice go to 8 you'll have almost the same problems if you buy the pro 7 version,
and it's a "silly" move to spend money on seven when you really want the bells and wistles
of the eight version and a new machine with all the ram you can get!
Peace,

How many macs can I install Logic studio on?
Ok so i recently bought my first ever iMac.
And i installed logic studio on it, but I am considering a Mac Pro because honestly; i love my iMac but i kind of just want this imac for 'personal' things (movies, music, family photos, videos ect.)
and I want a Mac Pro just for logic and any other PRO apps I buy later on. So i was wondering if anyone can help me with the question i have;
How many macs can I install Logic studio on?It's in your Logic Studio license agreement:
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on one Apple-labeled desktop computer and one Apple-labeled laptop computer so long as both computers are owned and used by you. This License does not allow the Apple Software to run on more than one computer at a time. -
Logic Studio comes with quicktime 7 Pro. where is it?
as the box indicates in the "contents" section beside the requirements section in the top side of the box, it gives the list of all the softwares that come with logic studio (e.i. logic pro, soundtrack pro2, waveburner, compressor... blah blah blah all that... but it says close to the end: quicktime PRO 2, which i guess is a "better" version, or it has more features... i dont know. the thing is i dont quite see that i actually have it installed on my mac. when i open quicktime and check on the "about quicktime.." it says its only quicktime.. but doesnt say anything about being PRO 2. its also the 7.5.5 version...
Since i installed everything from logic studio.. and still cant seem to find a way to see that QT pro 2 has been installed on my mac, can anyone explain to me what could be happening?
thanks.This has had a lot of people confused. Logic doesn't actually come with any software for Quicktime Pro, because you already have it imbedded into the regular version of Quicktime. When you buy QTP, or buy something like Logic that includes it, it simply 'unlocks' your regular version of Quicktime, which allows you access to a bunch of features that regular Quicktime didn't have.
Open System Preferences->Quicktime, and it should say: 'Registered To: Apple Pro Apps User' and 'Registration Code: Automatic.' You'll also notice that the 'Q' graphic on that window has a little 'PRO' tag on it too.
If you were still running the regular Quicktime, when you went to the QT Player, and dropped down any of the menus from the menubar, most of the options would be grayed out and say 'Pro Only,' or something like that. Now all of the options in those menus will be available.
And yes, it should be version 7.5.5. -
After an earlier attempt to move Logic from my other mac (OSX 10.6.8) with the migration assistant to my new mac with OSX 10.8.2. I've re-started the whole start up process by erasing the hard drive from the new machine and build it up from scratch. After a new "out of the box" start, I decided to install LOGIC from my disks : starting with my 2007 package Logic Studio 8 and upgrading with my Logic 9 package from 2009. When trying to start to install 2008 I got the error message : Logic Studio.mpkg cannot be opened as the power pc programs are no longer supported.
What does this mean? HOw do I get this working under 10.8.2 as it works flawlessly under OSX 10.6.8. For sure I didn't buy a new machine to have OSX 10.8.2 but I suspect this is the roadblock to installing my logic package.
Help!Mark,
Sorry...
I completely lost the thread (I actually got confused between you and another poster on a another forum that was asking the same basic question) and somehow ended up thinking you were trying to install on a PPC Mac
My apologies and please ingnore those parts of my last post relating to the PPC Macs...
You have an Intel Mac and therefore Logic Studio 2 Boxed Upgrade set should install/run on your Mac without issue. As I said earlier.. you do not need to try and install from the original Logic Studio 1 /Logic 8 Boxed set...(It won't work anyhow because you have an Intel Mac and that version had a PPC installer) but just install from the Logic Studio 2 / Logic Pro 9 Upgrade Boxed setof DVDs instead...
Have you tried the "Make Disk Image" solution I gave earlier? That normnally works under such circumstances as what you are describing can happen when your DVD drive cannot read the DVDs correctly... I have had this situation myself where one drive read them okay and another failed to do so for whatever reason. Making and then installing from Disk images of those exact same disks resolved the issue for me...
You can try to reinstall directly from the DVDs of course though under some circumstances it may not allow you to reinstall Logic Pro itself if that part of the original installation attempt was successful... in which case you can also try this... (It's probably the easiest method if Logic 9 was already installed and present in your Apps Folder)
If the Logic Pro App is in your applications folder..
Run Software Updates to update Logic Pro to a version that will run under 10.8.2 (The initially installed version of Logic will not)
Run Logic
Go to the menu bar in Logic and select Logic Pro/Install Additional Content and select all content in there..
This content is basically exactly the same as what is stored on the remaining DVDs of the boxed set so you might not need to use the rest of the DVDs to install from but download it all instead from Apple Servers... -
How do i install Logic Studio on my new iMac without CDD?!
Hi!
I'm getting my new iMac 21,5" delivered tomorrow, and i want to install Logic Pro the first thing i do. But, the thing is i bought the Logic Studio a few years ago, and i got the software on CD! Now, how do i do to install it on my iMac? Is there a way to register my product on App Store and then download it? I'm not so hyped on buying the software again on App Store or buying an external disk drive ONLY to install Logic! :/ Please help me out!
Thank You,
