Can I run logic pro 8 on a mac in conjunction with a PC?

Im usig logic pro 8 on Mac but I want to use sounds from a synth that only runs on a PC.
Any suggestions what I can use to sync the programs together on both Pc and Mac?
I thought I had heard about a Steinberg program that could do that..
Thanks

Steinberg makes a program called VST-Stack that allows up to 16 VST instruments loaded into a rack, each addressed by a separate MIDI channel. It ships with FX racks, compressors/reverbs...etc. Similar to Cubase without the sequencer part.
If you have a PC with a MIDI interface VST-Stack would work.
Caveat: It doesn't have MIDI clock sync so don't expect to get delay sync or other synth time based effects/sample&hold to sync to your tempo. As far as a basic synth rack, it works great. Don't know if it runs on Vista, it does run on XP.
There may be similar free programs but i don't know of any offhand.

Only a desktop and a laptop, both of which must be Macs you own.

Can you run Logic Pro 8 and Logic Pro X on the same machine?

Hello all!
Congratulations to us on the release of the new Logic Pro!
I am still running Logic Pro 8 (and was waiting for X to come out since I knew it wasn't too far off) but am concerned over the loss of 32-bit plug-ins with Logic Pro X (the wrapping of my old VST plug-ins alone hurts!). I've heard that installing Logic Pro X doesn't in any way gimp Logic Pro 9's usage, but can someone confirm whether or not Logic Pro X and Logic Pro 8 can operate in harmony on the same Mac?
As a bonus, is there any reason to believe that Apple would disable earlier versions of Logic Pro (such as version 8) from running on Mavericks?
I am planning my Logic Pro and Mac OS migrations! Thanks!!

Can I run logic pro x on iMac 2.8Ghz core 2 duo, 4GB RAM?

I currently run Logic Pro 9 (9.1.8) on my iMac (early 2008 model as above) but really like the look of pro x features, will it run on my iMac?
Thanks

Thanks for that info but my iMac (according to Crucial memory finder) is limited to 4GB
My iMac is 2008 model, 2.8GHz core 2 duo. Do you know if this will support 8GB ram?
Thanks

Can i run Logic Pro X on a Mac Book air

i am looking into buying a macbook but not sure if i want a pro or an air, air would be ideal for travel and work purposes but assuming that it can run LPX while im at home in my studio. does anyone else with an Air know if it can be run with the memory space that it comes with or will i have to upgrade to the bigger storage, i am also going to buy the 1 or 2tb external to save most if not all of my work. thoughts?

Hi,
it depends on what you are planning to do. in general, the pro offers a better display (better if you need much space on logic) and more power. for example, if you want to record 4 or more tracks simultaneously, i recommend the pro. also, the pro has two thunderbolt adapters, which is very helpful if you have a thunderbult interface (e.g. focusrite) and an external display.

I have Logic Pro 7 and want to upgrade to X but I can't because I have a 2007 MacBook Pro - I can only run Logic Pro 9 - where can I find it to buy?

Any recommendation as to where I can buy Logic Pro 9? I can't run X on my MacBook because I can't upgrade to Mavericks.

Yes.. that is described as what you need.
Fingers crossed but you should be fine if it from a reputable person..
One tip.. Once you have installed it.. remember to update LP to 9.1.8 as that is the most stable version under Lion....
I would recommend doing this before you run LP for the first time...
Use this link to download the correct update for your version....

Is anybody running Logic Pro on a Mac Book Pro?

I am considering buying a Mac Book Pro and wanted to know if Logic runs fine on it. I probably will add a couple of libraries such as the EW Gold Symph Library which can be quit large. If I could get some info on that, I'd appreciate it. I know the Mac book Pro memory is extendable to 4 GB Ram, but, is it enough for the Logic Studio?
Thanks

Latest project on my MBP had 17 tracks (9 SW instrument tracks and 8 audio tracks) each with at least two plugs. No problems....
Remember that if you get the dreaded resource warning messages you can always "Freeze" your SW instrument tracks to print the effects to audio files that are automatically stored in your project folder (so yes, it does suck up more HD space but really offloads the CPU).
Another tip is to turn Airport off when you are using LP8 as some people (raises hand) find they can get more tracks with Airport off.
And as already mentioned....you can get even more tracks if you have your projects and/or samples on a 7200 external drive.
Go for it....it works great!!!

Can i download logic pro x on my friends computer with my Id?

My friend and I both use Mac and we both own a studio. I bought the new Logic Por X with my account and have installed it onto my Mac. We need it now in the studio but we use my friends Imac in the studio. I was wandering if I could sign in to his mac and download LPX and then install it and when I'm done just sign out again. will that be ok or can i be penalised for that?

As it's not your computer it would be against the Mac App Store Terms and Conditions to attempt to do this... and so yes, you could be penalized..... but you knew that anyhow.

I have a carillon 25 keyboard (bad choice, I know) and I can't get it to communicate with my mac at all! I'm running logic pro 9 and reason 5. I get signal in from my M Audio trigger finger so I know it isnt an entirely mac based problem. Thanks!!!

Well, how have to determined no signal is being recieved to your mac?
Have you got something that shows the actual signal? Or have you just been trying to control a VST? What software are you using by the way?
I personnally went with a AKAI MPK25, because it's made already mapped for logic & ableton etc, so it just makes things incredibly easy.
I would suggest you return it if you can as a dead unit & perhaps look at something else a bit easier?
Otherwise, if you just want to get this working we can have a look a bit deeper.
And driver? OS X driver?

I have purchased a mac mini only to find I am unable to run Logic pro 9 , is there any way this can be achieved? It has been suggested that I partition the drive and install a copy of an older operating system to run the Logic Pro, is this feasible?

Only with a whole lot of effort and instability. As the new Minis have
hardware (HD4000, USB 3.0, etc.) that is totally unsupported in old OSes.
The only option would be to see if it would work by installing in a virtual machine
running 10.6.8. I'm sure there will be some performance hit but whether it would
be enough to be unusable is the question.

I updated to OS X Mavericks and now trying to run Logic Pro X on a MacBook Pro mid-2009, using an M-Audio Axiom 49 and an M-Audio Fast Track Pro... Logic keeps telling me that Mac OS X MIDI Services are not available... How do I solve this problem?

I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As". So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail. I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
Here's what I know:
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update. None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them. This is maddening! What can be done? Apple?? Anyone???

What's the best Mac to run Logic Pro 9 and above with no issues

What's the best Mac to run Logic Pro 9 and above with no issues?

Any Mac that can happily run OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Logic Pro 9.1.5.....
Note: Newer Macs cannot run Snow Leopard because SL doesn't provide hardware support for the newer hardware found in these newer Macs....
Next best combo for newer Macs is Mavericks 10.9.5 and Logic Pro 9.1.8... but it is nowhere near as efficient a combo as the previous one mentioned...

Can i install logic pro without the cd because my dvd driver of my mac doesn't work . i have the key for logic pro

can i install logic pro without cd ? , i have the key for the logic pro but my dvd driver of my mac doesnt work ?

Buy an external USB2 DVD/CD drive..... (Amazon's Basic model works great)
Or..
Borrow someone else's Mac that has a DVD drive fitted and use that via Remote Disk
Note:
There is no legal means of downloading available for Logic Pro 9.. unless you originally purchased it via the App Store..
Therefore, in your case, you must install from the DVDs you have...

I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, the cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler. I get the message "nothing to display"

I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, then cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder ad multiple song files. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler. I get the message "nothing to display" or "no region or audio file selected" After much research on the web, I believe this is a permanent bug. Does anyone have a good work-around for this type of work. We record live 16T band rehearsals constantly and would love to be able to break individual songs out of the large file and be able to use the sampler. Thanks in advance for your ideas! Cheers.

Another thing - if I copy one of the tracks to another track, then the sample editor works on the copied track. I don't want to have to copy 16 tracks to new tracks to be able to use the sample editor on a project. Thanks again.
