Does YOUR aluminum iMac work with Logic 8?

Hi, I have been facing Core Audio overloads with less than 5 tracks in Logic Pro 8 and have tried numerous suggestions. I have written ~6 songs even with the crashes and I want to something to give me a performance boost to see if Logic is worth it on an Imac or just a buggy trashpot. I recently of people with interfaces getting the same issue however.
I have a 2.4 ghz 24" aluminum imac with 4gigs RAM and am going to try adding these both: an Apogee Duet and an external dedicated FW800 drive in the next month.
For the dedicated audio FW800 drive I was considering a Lacie Quadra. Please come forward if you have an Aluminum Intel mac especially, due to all the firewire chipset discussion etc.
Can anyone who is very happy with their aluminum imac setup in Logic 8 please chime in? All responses are appreciated; So often we hear about problems on discussion boards, please share your smashing success story!
Thanks,
smooves

I have a 2.4 20" aluminum iMac running 50+ tracks (no freezing) with a few hundred plugins, with only 1 GB of RAM. I use a few external GLYPH Firewire drives. This system was actually a replacement from Apple for an iMac G5 that had the motherboard die 3 times in a 2 month time span. I'm very happy with it, its allowed me to get more work done. I don't understand why you're having so many overloads w/ only 5 tracks. I'd say up your buffer, but even for mixing I'm running at 256 on my buffer with 50 tracks or more and I'm fine. I've also never had Logic crash on me during recording or mixing. Only when using the score window. But since the update that hasn't happened.

  • Does Line 6 equipment work with Logic?

    I am looking to buy the Line 6 TonePort GX USB Recording Interface to run my guitar through. I am new at this but basically want to be able to mix this audio in logic (adding effects and digital instruments to the project). I have guitar rig 2 loaded on my computer and am hoping I can use that software with the audio input also. Would this work with this Line 6 interface?
    I am hoping I don't have to create an audio file with the Line 6 software and then add it into logic, I'd much rather record right into logic if possible.
    Thanks Everyone

    Hi,
    What does the manual say about your Line6? Does it work with a Mac? Yes? Then you're there. Set it up according to : the Manual.
    cheers

  • HT3423 My iMac came with logic Express 8 installed, how do I get it to work on my mac book pro

    My iMac came with Logic Express 8 Pre installed. How do I get it to work on my Mac Book Pro

    Along with your OS and applications installation DVDs, you should have gotten an LE8 installation DVD along with its manual and serial numbers when you bought your iMac. 
    Your license allows you to install LE8 on two computers as long as they are your computers, you are the sole user, and you do not run Logic on both simultaneously. So dig out your installation DVD, install it on your MacBook Pro and enter your serial number and you will be good to go.

  • How does lion work with logic 9.1.4?

    how does lion work with logic 9.1.4?

    Greetings,
    So far, everything seems as stable as before.  Which doesn't actually mean its rock solid, but otherwise workable.  I'm running a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24DSP with beta audio drivers.  So far, everything is running well.  I decided to jump into the 64bit work environment with Logic.  I have yet to encounter huge problems with the 32bit audio bridge.  Just making sure I bounce everything that is 32bit.
    As for everything else within Logic, I can't say I hate Lion.  Matter of fact, Lion seems buggier than Logic at the moment.  Logic handles well in Lion, but Lion on its own overall is a different can of worms.  I am mixed about a 10.7.1 update.  Usually, it fixes something on the OS, but breaks something else in Logic.
    I have faith that Lion will turn out to be as solid as Snow Leopard.  SL was my favorite OSX so far.  Lion still leaves allot to be desired in terms of stability.
    Again, answer to your question:  for me, Logic and Lion play nice.............for now.

  • Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
    Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
    If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
    Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
    How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
    Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
    I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
    If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

  • Does Production Premium CS6 work with Maverick and the new iMacs

    Does Production Premium CS6 work with Maverick and the new i Macs

    Thankx for your reply. I saw the Apple tech note but that's what Apple says. I just want to know from users who experienced the thing if it really works.
    It doesn't seem so simple if you believe what this site tells (sorry it's in French):

  • Does mainstage work with logic express 9

    hi ,  do all the features and plug-ins work with logic express 9 or are some features disabled .
    or are they not compatible at all
    thanks

    I have just spoken to two supervisors and 4 underlings about this exact concern and they ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO BUDGE in regard to a sidegrade or smaller upgrade fee. I have been a loyal Mac user, ****, an EVANGELIST since 1990, spent well over 100 grand on the apple products I needed and I tried being super polite, explained that I had barely had a chance to learn a thing about Express since I bought it in the store after realizing that there was no way I could afford the Logic Pro 9 box sitting next to it.
    THE ANSWER IS IF YOU WANT THE NEW, CHEAPER VERSION OF LOGIC PRO 9 AND MAINSTAGE, YOU NEED TO TOSS OUT YOUR ALREADY CANCELLED LOGIC EXPRESS 9 DISKS, FORGET YOU BOUGHT THEM IF YOU CAN, AND, IF YOU WERE DOWNSIZED LIKE I WAS 3 YEARS AGO BECAUSE MY BACK GAVE OUT...
    GO AHEAD. SEE IF YOU CAN KEEP YOURSELF FROM THROWING UP WHEN YOU HIT THAT PURCHASE BUTTON ON THE TWO PROGRAMS THEY REDUCED IN PRICE.
    REMEMBER, THOUGH...IT IS NOT LOGIC STUDIO YOU ARE GETTING. THEY SPLIT THE BOX UP SO THE REMAINDER OF THE SOFTWARE IN IT WENT INTO FINAL CUT PRO. THE ORIGINAL BOX YOU CAN STILL GET FOR $500 UNTIL THEY SELL OUT.
    DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER. THIS IS ONE ANGRY EX-EVANGELIST WHO NO LONGER HAS ANY REVERENCE LEFT FOR APPLE. I GUESS WHEN THEY LOST STEVE, THEY LOST TOO MUCH. SOMETHING IS VERY, VERY WRONG ABOUT THIS POLICY. SCREW THE PEOPLE WHO SPENT THE WHOLE AMOUNT, NOBODY AT APPLE REALLY CARES ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT WHAT IS LEFT IN YOUR WALLET.
    SORRY FOR THE RANT, BUT I AM IN SHOCK AFTER THE LAST TWO HOURS OF TRYING TO GET THEM TO SEE HOW WRONG THIS POLICY IS.
    WE HAVE BEEN SHAFTED, BIG TIME. IN THIS ECONOMY, THAT IS ONE HUGE INSULT IMHO.
    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.

  • Does OSX 10.6 work with iCloud?

    Does OSX 10.6 work with iCloud? Thought I read somewhere that you cannot connect to iCloud if you are running Snow Leopard.

    No. You need 10.7.2 or later for iCloud.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Apogee Ensemble or Symphony to work with Logic?

    Hello,
    I'm considering to buy Apogee multi I/O hardware to work with Logic Pro in my studio.
    The choice is between an Ensemble interface and a Symphony System (Rosetta 800).
    I know that in terms of quality the second one is better and that Ensemble is more affordable in terms of price.
    What I'd like to know is how does Ensemble work in terms of LATENCY (I hate it) and if VBus is a big +point for Symphony when mixing and using heavy plug-ins and instruments like NI Battery or B4 (for example).
    Could any one help me in this choice.
    Thanks!

    Thanks
    Then I'm more interested in buying an Ensemble instead of a Symphony System for my project/mixing studio.
    Yeah, my work is all in Logic.
    I produce reggae music. I record some live instrument and vocals into logic, then I work with'em and some virtual insturments and plug-ins.
    I thought that VBus could help to heva a more efficient RAM usage, allowing me to run big plugins "outside" Logic.
    Talking about latency, it could also be due to my USB keyboard/controller, I know.
    I asked about that also because using my apogee duet with logic I had some latency when recording a voice in a porject with virtual instruments and plugins. Maybe I do something wrong.
    Big Up
    p.s. I visited your site. Nice productions
    Do you know some links where I could master my tracks (reggae)?

  • Melodyne 2.6 not working with Logic 7.1.1

    Hi,
    those of you who are using Melodyne with Logic and Tiger, does it
    work with the Bridge mode ?
    I've been trying it now with several different takes and all I get
    out of it is sort of a hummingbird like a whistle
    or pigs been strangled..take your pick..is it just me ??
    It's the 2.6.0.6 Bridge version with Logic 7.1.1 and Tiger 10.4.2.
    Thanks

    Wll first answering my own question I may have found out the culprit.
    After launching my mLan auto connector and looking at MIDI/Audio set up I found that even Logic was working allright with my 01X though it still insisted I was using Internal audio instead of mLan. After changing that, the first and so far only test, I was able to use Melodyne OK.
    Otherwise I repeat what others already said here that although Logic lists Melodyne 2.6.0.6 as incompatible it will work.
    I guess now that v3 is due out in about a month we'll never see the 2.6. updated to fully work with Logic 7.

  • Will my m audio Project Mix work with logic x?

    Hi, just wondering if my M-Audio Project Mix I/O will work with Logic X. I am currently running Mavericks.

    If it works with any other CoreAudio based app on your Mac.. it should work fine with Logic Pro X as the key is .. if it is compatible with your OS X version. Its not about compatibility with Logic Pro X at all in reality... as LPX uses Core Audio which is part of OS X.
    So do you have it up and running in 10.9.2 and does it work with any other audio app? If so which one(s)?
    If you haven't tried yet, you may be out of luck as the last driver update for your device was way back.. for 10.7.4.... and some people had issues getting to work under Mountain Lion, let alone Mavericks...

  • How can I get an old Casio CTK-593 to work with Logic Express?

    Title pretty much says it all.
    I have a Fast Track USB from M-Audio to connect it to my pc but I don't know how to get it working with Logic.
    Thanks in advance.

    Did you check your connection with the audio-midi-setup.app in the programs/utilities folder of your MAC (not "pc" pls)?
    If you have a working MIDI connection, you'll need to open up a software instrument track within Logic to play Logic's instruments via your keyboard.

    No. Only iPhone 4S and iPad (2nd or 3rd Gen) as it requires more processing power. You can still use airplay with your device though.
