Can Logic Pro 9 Be re-used?

I got logic pro in sept. 2011 and I haven't really used it...Can I resell it?

If you originally purchased Logic Pro 9 from the App Store, then according to the App Store Agreement/License you can install it on any number of Computers you own (or have exclusive use of) simply by going to the App Store application, select the Purchased tab and download/install Logic Pro from there.
Note: You must sign into the App store using the original Apple ID account information that you used to purchase Logic Pro 9 in the first place... to be able to redownload Logic Pro on your new computer for free.
If you originally purchased Logic Pro as part of a physical Boxed set (Logic Studio for example ) then your license agreement allows you to install Logic on two different computers (One Desktop and One Laptop) but you may only run Logic Pro on one computer at any one time. You will also need your original Serial numbers for the original version of Logic Pro you bought plus any upgrade serial numbers (say for the Boxed upgrade set from Logic 8 to Logic 9) in order to install Logic Pro on a new computer.
Note: You will not be able to download the full version of Logic Pro 9 from the App store if you originally bought the Boxed set version.. If you try to do so you will have to pay for Logic Pro again in order to suceed. However...Once you have installed Logic Pro 9 from the DVDs you can then use the App Store/Update feature to update Logic Pro 9 to the latest version for free as normal..

Can Logic Pro work with soundfont (sf2) files?

Just curious. I have Garageband and the DLS Music Player has no way to change banks or presets for downloaded sf2 files except by sending a "program change" event from a midi controller. Can logic pro do that? I.e., if I load an sf2 file, can it use different banks and presets within that sf2 file, or is it limited to only the very first of each like Garageband?

Oh, I see, you don't have Logic yet - well, what I meant was that, once you've got your sf2 files into the EXS, just have a track for each different sound (open up an EXS24 on each track). If you need to use a lot of tracks, you can use Logic's 'Bounce in Place' feature, which instantly creates an audio file for you from the software instrument region you've created for any particular sound, so you don't need to think about banks of presets or program changes etc..
Logic comes with a vast array of software instruments and presets for them, along with a huge number of loops, if that's your thing - you may well find that good quality sounds that you want are already there and you won't need to use soundfont files anyway. If you've been using Garageband and want to take your work further, Logic is probably the next, well, logical step.

Can logic pro 9 be upgraded if i have the Express version?

HI,
Can logic pro 9 be upgraded if i have the Express version?
because when i try to do it, ask me for my Logic Studio SNr. and i just copy my Logic Express SNr. and doesn't work !
Is that normal?

I'm not sure I understand the wording of your question.
If you mean "Can I upgrade Logic Express 9 to Logic Pro 9?" the answer is yes, you can.
When you get the upgrade, if you already had LE9 installed on your system, the installer will already know your existing serial number, and it will be asking you for your new serial number of the upgrade. If you are trying to put in your old serial number here, this won't work, it's the serial number of the upgrade it's asking for.
If you are having serial number issues and believe you are using the correct serial numbers, then you'll need to contact Apple for help.

Can logic pro read sound fonts?

I am currently trying to use Garageband and have reached a couple of cripling limitations.
1) the orchestra instruments I need are not supported (oboe d'amore and baritone oboe)
2) there are free sound fonts available which contain good samples of these instruments but Garageband can only read the FIRST instrument from a sound font? Which basically (in my opinion) means it cannot read a sound font.
Can Logic Pro read soundfonts correctly? Can I use all the instruments from a sound font using Logic Pro?

jimka_2001 wrote:
When you say "can convert sound fonts" do you mean just the first instrument in the sound font, or all of the instruments in a single sound font?
All of the instruments get converted into single patches located inside a folder. Only one set of samples from the soundfont exist, but each patch from the soundfont is available as a single entity. In other words, you don't select the soundfont and have individual patches available within the SF, each patch is loaded as a separate instrument.
Which makes me think... are you sure that Garageband isn't doing this?

I own Logic Pro 7( I used to have a PowerPC and need to upgrade to Logic Pro 9 (new Intel chip, system 10.8) . Do I need to buy a whole new set or do I upgrade for less cost?

The cost of the Full Logic Pro 9 from the App Store is less than the cost of the discontinued Boxed Upgrade set for Logic Studio (if you could find one) ... so you might as well purchase the full Logic Pro 9 from the App store and be done.

Can MacBook Pro Retina be used to convert vinyl records to digital files?

Can MacBook Pro Retina be used to convert vinyl records to digital files?

As the retina model doesn't have a line-in port, you'll also need a USB input device.
Griffin's iMic is a Mac stalwart. However, they don't list Lion or ML in the compatibility list, so some further research may be necessary.
If that's OK, their Final Vinyl software is free.
There are other analogue-to-digital converters, though most if not all are more expensive, and the excellent (free) Audacity software will also help with the import and any editing. It exports to a good selection of audio file types too.

Can Logic Pro 7 Plugins be used with Logic Express

Hello, does anyone know if you can use the instrument plugins in Logic Pro 7 with Logic Express.

The cool advanced features that are part of Logic Pro are embedded in the application and can't be used as plug-ins on other systems such as Express. For good reason, eh?

Can Logic Pro X use a mic on a Duet and USB at the same time?

Seems that it's either or. When it asks where you are getting your microphone from, it's not a per track basis. It did recognize the USB mic when I plugged it in but changed the setting and the mic off the Duet was gone.
(Trying to record a podcast in latest Logic Pro X.)

You have to use apple's audio/midi utility to create an aggregate device from the mike and the duet, and then select that as logic's audio interface

Can logic pro 8 projects be read on logic express 8?

I've posted this on the logic pro forum but thought should post it here too:
So a few weeks ago I went to teach a short one day course in Logic Express 8.... except I've only used Logic Pro 8.....mmmm
Anyway, with all my projects carefully prepared (without space designers or any non- Express 8 plug-ins) I copied my workshop projects onto the students computers only to find that the .logic file was missing. Eek! The iMacs we were using had Logic express 8 (not pro) on them but for some reason the .logic file was now replaced by a folder - which we figured out was actually the opened package of the logic pro file:
The folder was always called Lgdoc containing two files: display state & document data
I've managed to replicate this behaviour on my powerbook which has not got logic 8 installed on it.
Has anyone else come across this? Has anyone opened a logic pro 8 project in Logic express 8 successfully?
Is there a way to re-pack a file whose contents are being shown?
Thanks
Rounik

Ok thanks, so I shouldn't have any problem I guess finish the project with logic9. Do u know by any chance if I can have both 8 and 9 running on my Mac?

What Can Logic Pro 8 Do that LP 7 Can't?

My question is... What will I be able to do with LogisStudio/Logic Pro 8 ( besides getting rid of the XSkey ), that I can't already do with Logic Pro 7?
Is it really worth the upgrade of $199.00 to have a different GUI & no need for an XS key?

It seems to have fixed a number of long-standing bugs. For instance, bouncing a track almost always ended up with a little glitch at the beginning of the bounced file. That's fixed.
I've had my end-of-song marker move mysteriously for no reason at all. That seems to have been fixed.
Waveburner actually can now burn CDs and you can use MatchEQ and multi-pressor with it. I believe a lot of people had trouble with it before.
There is a 33 page "What's new in Logic Pro 8" PDF here:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/NewFeatures_in_Logic_Pro8.pdf
You should take a look at that. Not everything there is something you can't currently do - some of it is simplified workflow - but there are a fair number of new, but little features.

How many times can Logic Pro 9 be installed on different machines?

I'm getting a new computer and wondered if I could reinstall Logic on the new computer without purchasing it again.
Thanks!

garfen,
No. You still need to initially install using the DVDs you purchased.
You can pick up a DVD drive for $30 from Amazon (Their basic drive which works very well) or borrow one..and install from that..
Or
You can use Remote Disk if you still have your original Mac that had a DVD drive built in..
Or..
Use your old Mac (or a friends) to create DMG (disk images)..from your DVDs.. save them to an ext drive and install from those images... (This is the method I used)
Once the next major version of Logic Pro is released (whenever that may be) this situation will likely be resolved as there will probably be only one way to purchase Logic Pro and that will be downloading via the App Store but for now, we do have this unfortunate situation... where the App Store and DVD versions are actually two different products still... Logic Pro and Logic Studio respectively... and are not interchangeable in regards to your situation.

Can Logic Pro 9 open Logic X projects?

I have Logic Pro 9 on my studio MacPro and Logic X on my MacBook. I don't intend to upgrade the OS on my studio system until after the new OS is released and things look stable. How can I share my projects between my MacBook running Logic 10 and my studio MacPro running Logic Pro 9?

Verve,
The difference here is that older LP9 projects are now converted to a different format when imported into LPX and so the converted project cannot be then imported back into LP9 once the conversion is done.
This is why, when you first open an LP9 project in LPX.. it asks you to resave the project.... before opening it in LPX and you could use a different name at that point to easily identify the new version though the older LP9 version is preserved.
You can also use the Selective Track Import feature in LPX to avoid any such conversion if you wish.... though frankly it is not needed... as the original LP9 version is preserved.
Cheers..
Nigel

Can Logic Pro 9 play a printed MIDI 'turn'?

I find it har to describe a turn. In the Part Box, under the first square collection of items, it's the first one on the upper left, there are two in that row which appear to be the same but I have yet to find an explanation in the Manual. Anyone familiar with turns?

A few questions before I buy Logic Pro (also anyone use M-Audio Ozone w/it?

Hello. I just bought a mac (my first one). I plan on getting Logic Pro, but have a few questions.
-Do I need an audio interface to use the program?
-Does anyone use the M-Audio Ozone with Logic? If so, do you recommend it? I know USB isn't as fast as Firewire
-If the Ozone isn't a good audio interface, which M-Audio interface do you recommend? (i might be using Protools M-Powered as well so that's why I want M-Audio)
-Is there a plugin similar to McDSP Filterbank for Logic?
I won't have too much hardware so I don't need too many ins/outs.
Thanks

Ok well do you have a piano? If you take courses you probably need a full piano unless you only want to do synths and pop music, the Ozone will not do. Do take this into consideration, 25 keys is very very small. The cheapest best piano IMHO is the Yamaha P60; piano playing needs weighted keys.
The audio interface converts analog sound to digital and transfers it to the computer. The latency comes from the transport (firewire, usb, IDE), from the computer (software, operating system and drivers) and from the analog/digital conversion. The audio interface also does the reverse, it provides many outputs for speakers and headphones. It can also optionaly provide MIDI I/O.
There are MIDI only input/outputs too, which allow you to plug in any MIDI device, such as a Yamaha P60 piano for instance.
The controller is usually a piano like device (some aren't, they provide only buttons) that sends MIDI information to other MIDI devices (like Logic, via the computer's MIDI I/O). Synths can act as MIDI controllers but provide much more (such as the ability to generate sound).
The Ozone is both, it displays itself as a MIDI controller through it's keyboard and 8 control knobs, as well as an audio interface with 2 inputs and 1 output. That's why it's good at what it does, it's cheap and compact and does all basic IO. But if you won't record anything, a normal MIDI controller is enough. But if you have monitors, maybe the output from the Mac isn't good enough. In terms of sonic quality the Ozone is okay.

Can Logic Pro and Logic Express coexist on the same computer?

Hi all,
I'm a fairly new user to logic. I started with Logic Express to test the water with it before committing to the Logic Pro. I decided I like it enough and have since purchased the Logic Pro upgrade.
My machine is a MacBook. This machine travels with me, so I am rather concerned about having to maintain a dongle when I am on the move.
Ideally, I would like to have both Logic Express and Logic Pro coexist on the same machine. That way, when I can reserve the use of Logic Pro for when I am in a stable environment but still be able to use Logic Express when moving around. Granted this would be with reduced functionality, but the peace of mind is worth that to me.
So does anyone here know if this is possible and can direct me to some instructions on how to accomplish this?
Thanks!!
Darth Vanva

I'd LOVE to be able to enable two simultaneous instances of Logic to accomplish what I want, but AFAIK that's an impossibility (unless a guru-whiz-type like Justin has some ideas on this...).
OK, here's the deal...
I have 6 gigs of RAM now. While using Logic I can access up to 3G for samples. If I could somehow run another copy of Logic on the same computer (acting solely as a host for additional plugs, not for sequencing) then I'd gladly buy 2 more gigs of RAM so that the second instance of Logic could address 3G more. I'd still have 2G left for system headroom.
And there would be an additional (if not hypothetical) benefit to doing this...
Right now I can run stand-alone instruments outside of Logic (accessed via IAC) in an effort to overcome the 3G limit. But take GPO for example: I can only run 1 instance of it. And, there is no provision for saving any edits or custom made instrument sets in the stand-alone version. So not only would I be limited to 8 individual instrument slots in the lone GPO player, I wouldn't be able to save any custom programming. So much for recall... And of course, EXS is not a stand-alone plug so there's no way I could use it outside of Logic.
BUT... if I had this second instance of Logic running and treating it as a plug-in host, I'd be able to run multiple copies of plugs (just like I'm used to) and never have to deal with any stand-alone players. And of course by saving its song file I thus save all of my custom programming.
So yeah, it would be fantastic if I could run a second instance of Logic on the same computer. Theoretically.
