Can i run logic...

Hi there this is my first post. I've just started a new job in a studio, i want to run Logic pro on my macbook I have a macbook (new in december) its the lowest model with 1 gb of ram, If i were to buy an extra g of ram could i run logic on the macbook, then have any samples on external hard drive? Or is there a better way of running this?
Cheers!

If i were to buy an extra g of ram could i run logic on the macbook
You'd need to buy an extra gig of ram, and Logic, of course. But yes, Logic runs on Mac computers. It will "run" on any computer capable of supporting OSX 10.4.8 or higher.
Whether it will run well enough depends on your requirements, which you don't specify.
then have any samples on external hard drive?
Sure.
Or is there a better way of running this?
Well, faster computers are better. I'm not sure of your question...

Can I run Logic in Snow Leopard?

Can I run Logic in Snow Leopard?

LP9 runs fine under 10.6.8....
In fact using Logic Pro 9.1.5 and OS X 10.6.8 turned out for me and many others it seems.. to be one of the most stable combinations of Logic and OS X of all time

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 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.

Can I run Logic 9 with 32 bit support alongside Logic X on the same Mavericks computer?

Hello friends,
I am upgrading from Snow Leopard and Logic 8 to Mavericks and Logic X. It's my understanding that Logic 8 doesn't play nice with Mavericks, but I heard that the latest version of Logic 9 does. I never used Logic 9 before, but it is my understanding that you could run Logic 9 in 32-bit mode and it should be compatible with all Logic 8 projects. Is this true on Mavericks? I am on the verge of setting up multiple partitions, one for Logic 8 on 10.6 and the other for Logic X on 10.9, but if I could launch logic 9 with 32 bit support on mavericks when I needed access to my 32 bit reliant projects, that would certainly be better!
Would both versions of Logic work on the same system together in the way that as I hope? Obviously, I wouldn't need them both open at the same time, but I didn't know if one would work correctly after installing the other, etc.
Thanks very much! Upgrading can be a hassle with consideration to legacy projects!   This would just be one step for me; it's a whole other question as to whether or not I could get the fxpansion vst wrapper working in Logic 9 on mavericks (surprisingly, it seemed to work with Logic 8 on mavericks, but the black curtain of Logic 8 almost makes it unusable).
Thanks very much!

Thanks everyone!   I was afraid that I was going to have as much trouble as I did migrating from Logic 4 to Logic 7 (yeesh, what a mess that was).
Blueberry, are you warning about literally running both Logic 8 and Logic X simultaneously?   Because I don't imagine I would do that. Could their be adverse consequences of merely having both installed?
It is my hope that I can gracefully migrate away from Logic 8/9 altogether, but the OCD in me needs to have adequate access to legacy projects in a pinch.
Thanks again!

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....

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 you run logic 6 pro and logic 7 on the same PPC?

I was wondering if you could run logic 6 and logic 7 on the same computer.

Until I moved up to my overqualified quad G5, I would use Logic 7 and 6 under 10.3 and I used to run the old 6 under OS9 on occasions where I needed to use a couple of plugins that didn't seem to make the port from VST to AU. It seemed that everytime you updated 6, it created a new version and you were able to keep older versions if you liked ( and I did ) for whatever reason...my thinking was that if the newer upgrade didn't work, I could always go back a step. This is no longer an option though, is it! Progress?

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
Message was edited by: Thomas Colontonio

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.

Can we run logic project file on a firewire 400/800 harddisk?

Hi I have a macbook Pro. The internal hard disk is too small for me .
I'm thinking about to get a firewire 800 Harddisk. if I buy that and connect to my MBP, in logic 8 I create project and compose with software instruments, and record over 8 channel audio with ADAT and do music creating and recording on that firewire 800 hard disk, will it be as good as the mbp internal hd to use?
I mean, I run a project on that firewire 800 disk, I do a 8 channel adat recording while the project is running Kontakt and lots of other software instruments, will there be any problems? will it be the same for me to use as the internal 160 GB hard disk?
WHich hard disk link is faster (if they are all 7200)?
Thanks!

The system drive is running the application so when you're recording Audio tracks to it it has to do several tasks at the same time.
It's ok for one or two tracks of Audio but sooner or later you will get Overload/Disk too slow messages. That's why most users here use several drives in their setup to keep everything fast and clean.

Can I Run Logic Express 9?

Hello, I am a up and coming musician playing in a band. LE9 sounds like a great program and I have found the interface i need to record with my band, but will my MacBook (no pro) be able to handle it?

Stroma,
Welcome,
I understand you wanting to make sure, I felt the same before purchasing LE9 a few months ago. I have a MacBook (not pro) that is about two years old. See specs below. I have been running LE9 since Christmas and it is smooth and works very well. I even use it with safari and other programs open. You should be i great shape.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Can I run Logic 9 if it is loaded on an external hard drive?

Is this possible or will there be issues of compatibility?

OK Cool. I think I will try that. Thanks for the tip. I appreciate it.

How can I run more than one VST on a PC slave running Logic 5.5?

I have moved from PC to Intel Mac (good!) and wish to run several non Intel VST apps from a slave PC running Logic 5.5 (ie Trilogy, Atmosphere).
My question is (and forgive my stupidity if the answer is obvious) how can I address each virtual instrument from the Mac? Currently I operate MidioverLAN CP which enables my PC computer to receive midi but I seem only to be able to access one instrument at a time, not permitting me to run several apps at once.
many thanks in advance for any kind help

Logic 5.5 is not an ideal VST host, as by default, only one virtual instrument is in Live mode, and you can't rig up environment solutions without a large latency (which makes it unusable).
There is a workaround involving putting a bypassed IO plugin on your instrument tracks, and then you can use environment cabling without the large latency (it tricks Logic into putting all instruments in Live mode). Then you'd cable your physical input through a channel splitter and onto the audio instruments to assign each a MIDI channel as has been discussed to death on this forum.
If there isn't a reason you must use Logic 5.5 PC to do this, then there are much better PC VST hosting apps and I recommend looking into them...

How can i run a version of Logic 7 on mac OS X 10.9.2?

Hi.
I am running Logic Pro X on a Macbook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 running OS X 10.9.2.
However, I have some very old but crucial Logic files from the Logic 4/5 days and need to convert them to my current version of Logic Pro X via Logic 7.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to instal or run a version of Logic 7 on my Macbook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 running OS X 10.9.2?
Also, does anyone know where I can find a version of Logic 7 (Pro or Express)? Otherwise, I'll look on Torrent sites.
Hoping for good news.
Thanks.

To find a copy of LP7 you would need to look for a copy on eBay.. However, the protection method used with LP7 no longer functions so you cannot register it and therefore you cannot use it. unless you have already registered LP7 yourself in the past using the security key dongle provided
Any version of LP7 from a torrent would be an illegal (and most likely non working) version due to the protection that was used at that time... and so posting about it here, was not be wise.
So.. thats why my previous answer was so brief... Simply put, you cannot use LP7 unless you already have a validated and registered security dongle... even if you found a copy of LP7 somewhere
The only practical solution is to find some kind soul who already has a working version of LP7 installed, that you can send the projects to... for them to do the conversion for you.
I would, but I no longer have LP7 installed here on any of my testbed Macs...

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.
