Difference in sound between Logic on PPC and Intel (64 Bit)

hi,
I'm using PPC for Logic Pro. Is there any difference in sound between using logic pro on PPC and running it on Intel Macs. I'm not good in tecnical things, but someone told me, Logic would sound better on Intel based Macs, because the system is 64 bit instead of 32 bit on PPC. Is that true? Any experiences?
Thanx,
grooveX

There are no differences!
the "sound quality" is stryctly relted with the Audio equipment.
(the new Intel Xeon processors are faster than PPC... in 2008... obviously... but in 2003/4/5 PPC G5 was much faster than same year 2003 Intel Xeon release
If you work with DAE TDM HD accell in PPC or on Intel the sound will be the same...
obviosly if some update shoot down the compatibilty with PPC side you will cannot use the future upgrades...
if you use a Motu 828 Mk3 the sound will be great... and same as ppc or Intel or Windows and Linux
(but Logic works on Mac... PPC and Intel... is the same... logic is the master of the sound).
Anyway... I think the analog recording studio in the 1970 1990 gives you a super great sound... in some cases the analog recording studio sonds much better that digital studios..
I'm talking about a simple example.. the audio frequency are from 20 to 20.000 HZ... the music quality... (artistically) is not related with the quality of the machine that you use for make it....
I suggest you not follow the mode ... and run to buy the last model .. most often are money thrown to the wind.
if you buy a good new interface.... you are in the rigth way...
but the very important thing is:
MAKE YOUR MUSIC AND DON'T MATTER ABOUT these unnecessary competitions ... is only useful to those who sells computer!
I know people that doing good music with old G4 ...
...music with highest quality ...
is not the machine that makes the music .... Only MEN can obtain a piece of art ... even using dirt!

  • Difference between logic pro 7 and 8

    I'm just wondering if there's a difference between the Logic Studio ($500), and Logic Pro 8..or does Logic Pro 8 simply come within the Logic Studio package? Is there a big difference between Logic Pro 7 and 8? Also, is it worth the $200 upgrade?

    Hi,
    Logic Studio: Logic Pro 8, Soundtrack Pro and MainStage.
    So yes, Logic Pro 8 is part of the 'Logic Studio' package, which also contains the two other apps.
    http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/
    Take a look at the Logic Pro 8/Logic Studio forum. There are mixed opinions on whether it is worth upgrading yet or not.
    Good Luck!

  • Can PPC and Intel OS's be on the same hard drive?

    I do a lot of work on Apple computers for clients.
    I have made it a habit to bring firewire hard drives with OS X installed to my work locations so I can boot peoples' computers from my own, clean OS for numerous troubleshooting purposes.
    I was hoping to take a big hard drive I have, partition it into 4 parts, and install 10.4 Intel, 10.4 PPC, 10.5 Intel, and 10.5 PPC.
    But after I installed the PPC 10.4, I went to my macbook pro and tried to install 10.5 Intel.....and it wouldn't let me!
    So now I am learning about the Apple Partition Map format for a drive versus the GUID format and that basically one is for PPC and the other for Intel.
    But I would like to know if there is any way to format a drive in such a way that I can indeed install PPC and Intel version of an OS onto one physical drive in separate partitions???
    anyone?

    It's not intuitive but it's possible. You must set up your external drive using the APT partition map. Install the PPC version of OS X on one partition. Now here's the trick: You must install an Intel version of Leopard on a drive that has been partitioned using GPT. Then clone that installed version to another partition the external drive that now has the PPC version of Leopard. You now have a PPC version of Leopard on one partition and in Intel version on the other partition. You will find you can boot an Intel Mac from that partition even though the drive is partitioned APT.
    The problem is that Leopard will not allow itself to be installed on an APT partitioned drive. But an Intel version of Leopard will work just fine from an APT partitioned drive.

  • Difference between Logic Pro 9 and Logic Studio?

    I have garage band and I notice that the instruments available are extremely limited, so I am looking to upgrade solely for the idea of getting more instruments and more features. Does the app store Logic Pro 9 have the extensive amount of official instruments to download for free? Or are there additional costs if you are looking to purchase the instruments for the app store logic 9?
    I know that the studio version has mainstage, compressor and other programs etc, but what I am looking to find out is if there is a difference between what instruments, resources and materials found in the $210 Logic 9 and the Logic Studio version that you can't download for free from inside Logic 9?
    Thanks

    The instruments themselves are embedded within the Logic application, with the exception of the sample libraries for the EXS24 and Ultrabeat. All of the content, including the various Jampacks and sample libraries are available to download

    No.... free

    The "Studio" DVD's include the now defunct Soundtrack Pro, which had around 20G of loops, beds and sound FX. Some of that material is now available for Final Cut X.
    A few utility programs are also missing (Waveburner etc).

  • What's the Difference Between Logic Board Failure and Hard Drive Failure

    Hi!
    So I wanted to know the difference between a Logic Board Failure and Hard Drive Failure because a couple of days ago I tried starting my computer up and I was welcomed by the Apple chime and a grey screen. I have been researching and most people say its either the hard drive or the logic board. So I am curious to know what are the symptoms of both. Thanks a lot, in advance!

    The hard drive is where the OS resides, if it dies there is no OS loading, so you can't boot. If you hook up your external drive with your clone of the internal drive, boot up and hold down the option key, select your clone drive as the startup drive in boot manager that then appears, and the computer boots normally, then the computer is OK, it is just the internal drive that has gone south. You don't have a clone to boot from? Now you know why you should.
    You could try booting from the DVD that came with the computer, hold down the "D" key to run diagnostics and see what the results are. If you can't boot into the diagnostics then a trip to the Apple store is probably in order.

  • What is the different between Logical complex join and Physical join?

    hi,
    Do somebody know what is the function different between logical complex join in BMM layer and physical join in physical layer?
    Thanks.

    Thank you very much1
    I understand their differentiation:
    In the BMM Complex join (intelligent), means OBI picks the best way from possibly many different ways to join using physical join. FK join forces the same join always, which limits flexibility.

  • What's the differences of optimizer_features_enable between 8.1.7 and 9.2 i

    Everyone , now i may to change the optimizer_features_enable to set is 8.1.7 due to have urgent performance issues after upgrade from 8i to 920 . I know the default value of optimzier_features_enable is 9.2 in 9i and it is a database level parameter. So i want to know all the differences of optimizer_features_enable between 9.2 and 8.1.7 . It will impact the whole system if changed it to 8.1.7 ? Thanks in advance !!

    It will, obviously, affect the entire database. Setting optimizer_features_enable to 8.1.7 basically turns the CBO in your database back to an 8.1.7 CBO. There are a fairly large number of changes between 8.1.7 and 9.2, many in hidden parameters. I don't believe Oracle publishes a list of differences, but there are folks out there that have researched the differences.

  • External hard drive for both a PPC and Intel Mac?

    I have 2 LaCie Hard Drives (500GB & 750GB) that I'd like to use for backing up my 2 laptops and for storing photo and music files.
    When I got the MacBook Pro, I partitioned the 500GB drive into 3 volumes and used SuperDuper! to make "bootable" copies of the MBP on one volume, theiBook on one volume, and put photo files on the third. I don't know/can't remember how I dealt with the directions below from Disk Utility and I fear I may have done the impossible or at least done the wrong thing.
    "If you will use a volume as a Mac OS X startup disk, click Options and choose the appropriate partition scheme. To use a volume to start up an Intel-based Mac, choose the GUID partition scheme. To use a volume to start up a PowerPC-based Mac, choose the Apple partition scheme."
    As I ask these questions, I find myself getting tongue-tied so please bear with me and read on...
    #1 - Is it *even possible* to do what I want and have the bootable copies of both of these laptops on the same HD since one is PPC and the other Intel? If the answer if yes, it's OK then the rest of this is moot.
    #2 - I can easily delete one or the other laptop backup from the 500 LaCie and put it on the virgin 750 and partiton it - problem is, is there a way to know how I partitioned the 500 HD so I won't have to redo it -I don't want to have to recopy the thousands of photo files already on the HD. If I knew how it was partitioned - Intel or PPC - I could just delete the appropriate laptop and move it to the other LaCie, assuming I have to.
    #3 - And, is it possible to use a drive that has been partitioned for PPC or Intel with the other type computer - will I be able to access the jpg photo files from both the MBP and my G4 both of which are Tiger no matter which way the HD is partitioned? Now I as able to do this, but as I said, I don't remember which way I partitioned the HD - all I remember is that I did choose to include OS 9 drivers since I still use Classic and OS 9 on the G4. ( I have yet another LaCie that I use exclusively to back up my G4 and it is not part of this issue)
    Mrs H

    So "To use a volume to start up a PowerPC-based Mac, choose the Apple partition scheme." really means it will work for my Intel MBP too?
    Yes.
    Is there a way to tell if that is what I already choose?
    Select the existing drive in the Disk Utility and find the Partition Map Scheme text at the bottom of the window.

  • OS X 10.4.x on PPC and Intel having problems with Card Readers

    Hello,
    I am in charge of a school district running about 75 client macs, all PPC G5 and Intel mixed. I have been having reports that the Lexar card readers for the digital photography lab sometimes do not auto-mount the media that is inserted into them. Apple System Profiler detects the card reader, but when the card is stuck into the reader it does not appear in finder at all to retrieve the files.
    Upon testing, a reboot usually alleviates the problem, but the teachers feel that the interuption in class and productivity time for a reboot is unacceptable.
    I have the user accounts managed through Workgroup Manager on my Xserve, and I have it set so that they have access to auto-mount media (unless I'm missing a setting somewhere. But i'd think if the setting was off, the reboot wouldn't matter and it wouldn't fix the issue).
    At anyrate, my question is has anyone else expierenced problems with card readers and auto-mounting the media in OS X? How about in a multi-user environment. Does anyone have any suggestions? All are welcome.
    Thanks so much for your time.

    Since the latest update Mac OS X 10.4.9, my USB card readers have stopped working. The media is recocognized, but the transfer rate is so slow I could manually write the binary.
    There were no issues prior to this update, and card readers work on machines NOT updated.

  • Distorted / choppy recorded sound with Audigy 2 ZS and Vista 64-bit

    Hi, I wonder if anybody has any idea of why this issue is happening. First let me give you my PC specs:
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.0 GHz
    Mobo: Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 rev. 2.0
    Graphics: 2 x BFG GeForce 8800 GT 52MB
    RAM: 4 x GB G.Skill PC6400 @ 800 MHz
    Sound: Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS
    TV Tuner:? Hauppauge WinTV PVC PCI II (26xxx)
    OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP
    ?So here's the deal. I have no problems whatsoever with audio playback with this sound card. The issue I am having is while recording sound with it. When I record my voice via a Microphone with the Windows Sound Recorder and then play it back, my voice sounds very choppy. It sounds as if I was talking in front of a fan. The same happens with any program I try to use. If I use Audacity to record sound, the playback is also distorted / choppy. The main problem is with Skype, as I cannot use it to talk to people because they cannot understand what I'm saying because of the issue. Does anybody has any ideas why this happens? My PC is a dual boot PC with Vista 64-bit and XP 32-bit, and this issue only happens with Vista. Sound recorded plays back fine under Windows XP.
    I am using the latest drivers available for this card from the Creative site.
    I'd appreciate your help,
    Daniel

    A little bit off topic here, but 64bit does not mean more performance at all lol.
    Sure, but there are in some cases drastic performence diferences. Under a fresh installed Vista X64 i have less CPU usage, as under 32 bit. But of course X64 uses more RAM (some tasks are double 32 and 64 bit).But the main reason I have more performence is, that the games I often play, get almost a boost. Dont ask me why, but under 64 bit EAW and FOC have the same FPS as under 32 bit. But under X64 I use a bit more Details and a higher resolution. (both are 32 bit games, so its a bit funy )?______________________?Sure there are other ways to install the drivers. But if some Setup dosent work, the first thing I try is to get it via Divice Management. And as this worked for me, I dont waste time to try other methods (Had bad experience, you can break the driver faster than install it *G*)?______________________?Some Questions I have left (after a few hours undr X64 with Creative Drivers):?Could it be, that the driver causes sometimes havy CPU usage?Could it also be, that the driver causes some lags, after you copy a file (the end sound, copy is finihed, but takes more time for "final finish", than without the drivers) - I know that Vista has some problems, on some PCs with copy, and that MS has an inoficial Patch (but dosent help for my PC so far)

  • GUID or APM for PPC and Intel Macs

    Apple Article 306932 states
    Click the Options button.
    Select a new partition scheme:
    Use "Apple Partition Map" partition scheme if the disk will be used with Time Machine and a PowerPC-based Mac.
    Use "GUID" partition scheme if the disk will be used with Time Machine and a Intel-based Mac.
    So, I have a PB G4 (PPC) and a Mac Book Pro (Intel), both of which I want to use with TM to one external drive.
    So, which partition scheme should I use?

  • Partition scheme for PPC and Intel

    I have a G4 mini and an Intel Macbook and one USB harddrive to back them up with time machine. I think I'll connect the drive to the mini and share the drive so I can back up the Macbook.
    Anyway, I was reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306932
    and it says to choose the "Apple Partition Map" scheme for use with PPC and "GUID" for use with Intel. Anyway, I was wondering what I should choose when I need to use it with both processor types.
    Thanks for any advice!

  • Difference between logical file path and physical file path

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me why logical file path is required and why physical file path is required? What exactly is the difference bet them?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    PS.

    Hi,
    The function module FILE_GET_NAME convert a logical path into its corresponding physical path.
    The advantage of using logical pathes within your applications is obivous:
    If you need to change the physical path you just adjust it within transaction FILE yet no changes are required to your application.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/25/ab3a57df3b11d189fc0000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
    The file names that you use in ABAP statements for processing files are physical names. This means that they must be syntactically correct filenames for the operating system under which your R/3 System is running. Once you have created a file from an ABAP program with a particular name and path, you can find the same file using the same name and path at operating system level.
    Since the naming conventions for files and paths differ from operating system to operating system, ABAP programs are only portable from one operating system to another if you use the tools described below.
    To make programs portable, the R/3 System has a concept of logical filenames and paths. These are linked to physical files and paths. The links are created in special tables, which you can maintain according to your own requirements. In an ABAP program, you can then use the function module FILE_GET_NAME to generate a physical filename from a logical one.
    Maintaining platform-independent filenames is part of Customizing. For a full description, choose Tools ® Business Engineer ® Customizing, followed by
    Implement. projects ® SAP Reference IMG. On the next screen, choose Basis Components System Administration ® Platform-independent File Names.
    For a more detailed description of the function module FILE_GET_NAME, enter its name on the initial screen of the Function Builder and choose Goto Documentation. On the next screen, choose Function module doc.
    Another way of maintaining platform-independent filenames is to use the Transaction FILE. The following sections provide an overview of the transaction.
    To create a logical filename, choose Logical filename definition, client-independent from the Navigation group box in Transaction FILE, then choose New entries. You define logical filenames
    You can either define a logical filename and link it to a logical path (as displayed here), or you can enter the full physical filename in the Physical file field. In the latter case, the logical filename is only valid for one operating system. The rules for entering the complete physical filename are the same as for the definition of the physical path for the logical file. To display further information and a list of reserved words, choose Help.
    If you link a logical path to a logical file, the logical file is valid for all syntax groups that have been maintained for that logical path. The filename specified under Physical file replaces the reserved word  in the physical paths that are assigned to the logical path. To make the name independent of the operating system, use names that begin with a letter, contain up to 8 letters, and do not contain special characters.
    Save your changes.
    regards,
    Omkar.
