From Logic Express to Logic Pro

Hello, I recently bought a new MAC and Logic Pro. I used to work with Logic Express 8.
Now, when I open an old projet (done with Express 8) with Logic Pro, some sounds aren't found. I have done all my music with the sounds included in the Express mode.
I have compared (in the application support foulder) both sound banks, and the Pro one in smaller than the Express one.
I think this comes from the fact that I haven't properly dowloaded or installed Logic Pro. I think time was an issu at that moment.
Now how can I restart the dowloading process of the sound bank so my express projets with be opened int the Pro without any complications regarding sounds that are not found ?
(sorry for the english)
Thank you

In Logic pro.. did you download the additional content via the Logic Pro menu bar item?
Logic Pro/Download Additional Content
If that is what you are talking about when you say you didn't let it finish installing, just click on the menu item and reselect the content that is missing and download... It would seem you did finish downloading themmain Logic Pro app otherwise it probably wouldn't even start.
Either way, I would recommend you try the Additional Content stuff..

Comparison Matrix for Logic Express and Logic Pro?

I have looked everywhere for a chart that compares the features between these two products and can't find one.
I am thinking of moving up from Garageband, and leaning toward Logic Express right now.
Is there a comparison matrix somewhere?
Thanks,
Kirk

I don't think so, but you can go to their respective Specs in Apple web-site and make one yourself.
Basically, LE is the same thing as Logic Pro, but with less instrument/effects plugins and less audio/instrument loops content. Also, Logic Studio package has additional tools like Mainstage/Soundtrack Pro, which you may not need.
As a sequencer and 3rd party plugin host LE is as powerful as Logic Pro.

Will Logic Express and Logic Pro X co-exist on my Mac?

I use Logic Express. If I buy Logic Pro X can I have both versions on my Mac? I assume I'll eventually move to the new version, but just incase I have issues?
thanks.

Mate, it will run absolutely fine... But like with most DAW's it will be hosting other plugins, so alot depends on what you have running at once. But an i5 w/8gb well probably take more than what you will throw at it if you're only just starting out - It's when you get into serious sound and mastering where you need high end processing power.
However, saying that you can bounce down realtime pluging into audio files so that free's your CPU up. Plus, in my experience Logic is very efficient as it disables plugins etc. when they're not producing sound.
Have you already got an audio interface?
The only issue you will have is screen size on a 13" MBP, i did post a get around to give you more resolution on here a while back, i will try and find it for you - Just incase you need more res. The Logic X interface is a little 'bigger' so tends to cram on a 13".

Got Logic Express instead of Pro for the same price

I've bought Logic Express 9 at retail store a few days ago for 180 EUR, but then I found out the Pro version has the same price?! How is that possible?
Feeling a bit jackassed, I could actually buy this piece of software for the same price at the Apple Store if I knew...
EDIT: Oh, by the way I checked some other threads, and some guys tell that such thing as Logic Express doesn't exist anymore, well the price is anyway same (199,99 USD). I've bought this product on 21.08.2012 at an official Apple Store in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Thanks in advance for your response!

I've been at the store a few hours ago, spent an hour there and received actually no solution.
They declined taking the software back and refunding.
"Some people would still prefer buying this version of software rather the pro version, even though they have same pricing", they said. But that's complete non-sence! 've been struggling with the store manager there, but brought me nothing.
Any ideas what I could do next? Don't really want to spend 200 bucks more to get the "alive" version of logic...

Logic express 7.2&pro tools le

im new with logic iwant to know if recording on pro tools an then mixing inlogic express is recommended, i intend to run logic on my macbook thanking you guys in advance also commending all you people who ask questions and give answers i value you much more then you know. good looking!!!!!!!!!

Truthfully, I only have ProTools LE, because I am "supposed" to have it. I teach Music Technology, and everyone sems to think you should teach ProTools, so I haev it available for those lessons. Whenever possible I do everything in Logic (I use the Pro version), but you shouldn't have any trouble importing the tracks into Logic. However, unless something has changed - I am not sure Express can actually handle AIFF and WAV files - I thought it only used compressed formats - of course that could have been a long time ago. If Express can handle it, then go for it. You will find the plug-ins and presets quite full of options, and with helpful presets.

Problem with Logic Express file in Pro

I opened a Logic Express 6 project in Logic Pro 7, and found that some of the Audio Objects won't play.
All of the Audio Object tracks appear in Arrange window (and the Environment), but tracks higher than number 8 (9-32) are inaccessible.
The only things that appear in the channel strips for the unplayable tracks are the track name, group assignment (off), and "read." When I tried to assign the track in the Audio Object Parameter box, I found that tracks 9-32 are grayed out and not available for channel assignment.
How do I make the grayed-out tracks available for assignment?
Thanks,
Weldon

You're welcome. I personally set mine high-but the higher you set it themore resources logic needs. I just set mine to 128 which is fine for me and how I like to work. Cheers

Difference Between Logic Express 8 and Pro 8

I was close to purchasing Logic Express after finding out the store ran out of Logic Pro. I held off Express because i wasn't sure if i would get "some" of the same features. Im mostly looking for the feature that Pro has, where the audio "time stretches" itself according to tempo. I know earlier versions of Express couldn't do that. I didn't know if Express editing was the same as Pro. I like the fact that in Pro you can just grab and cut audio instead of double clicking the audio and editing it in a separate window (WEAK)!!!

Logic Express on Mac Pro

Has anyone tried to use Logic Express on the new Mac Pro yet? I have no additional audio hardware, and LE refuses to use the built-in audio out. All I can use is the headphones out on the front. I changed the default output settings in the system settings and everything works fine in Garage Band, iTunes, etc. Just Logic seems to ignore the line out.
Since this is the first time I am using both the Mac Pro and Logic, I have no idea if this is a new issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Why oh why didn't you buy Logic Pro??? Personally I
would put functionality before power.. but hey..
I realise this is off topic but could you start a new
thread for the following...
- I'd love to get a glimpse of the power of the Mac
pro. Is there a universal benchmark song available
that you could test for us & we can use it to compare
our (Comparitively) measly specs with!?
That's a matter of $150 vs. $500 with edu discount... for what I do, Logic Express works just fine. If I get more serious with music production again, I will upgrade.
I will hapily do a performance test if you give me a link.

Upgrading from FC Express to FC Pro x

Can I upgrade to FC PRO X from FC Express or do I first have to buy FC Studio for $999.

Final Cut Pro X isn't an upgrade, it's a brand new software. The price for FCP X is $299.00 USD. When you install FCP X it will not touch or overwrite FC Express. You will have both programs on your computer. This is the same if you have FInal Cut Pro on the computer.

Upgrade Logice Express to Logic Pro

Any Big different/Advance that you experience when Upgrade Express to Pro??
Don't ask me to refer to the Comparison...please...i wish to get some really experience!!
Thanks
Ray

Considering that Logic Pro allows you to use previous versions without implications, there may be nothing in the agreement saying that you cannot use Express at the same time. Besides, something like this is probably not going to catch Apple's attention because both Express and the Upgrade were legally purchased by you. It would be a different story if you used Express through other matters. However, I am not a lawyer and don't profess to be (but I am a software and multimedia developer). You are best to talk to Apple themselves and see what they say.

Less oppertunities for compressors in Logic Express compared to Logic Pro?

Hi there,
I'm running on L-Express also. I had a conversation with a guy this afternoon who is running Protools.
We've tried to put some compressors on my created track. In protools he could let a compressor follow the beat of the bass drum and put that effect on, for instance, the hi hat so that you could create a nice pumping sound. We've tried to look for it in Logic Express but unfortunatly we couln't find it.
Is this also a difference between Logic Express and Logic Pro?
grtz,
Lewis

Hey Lewis,
I believe you must be talking about a multi band compressor, that you can use High or low pass filters, the one in logic Le isn't, you just have one in AU from the system.
Logic Pro has multi band compressor and then some!
Anyway, Logic Le compressor has some presets that can help you click on arrow tool (in the compressor) and you have presets for Vocal, Instruments,Drums ie: Kick drum - Double punch.
Give it a go.
cheers,
Jorge

Soundtrack Pro Plugins in Logic Express

I own Logic Express and Soundtrack Pro, i was wondering whether it's possible to somehow use the plugins such as Space Designer and Match EQ from Soundtrack Pro with Logic Express.
Thanks for your help...

Well thats dissapointing...
I'm guessing that they are built in to the program rather than audio units floating about it a folder somewhere then.

Logic express and pro 7 to logic studio 9 upgrade question

I have logic express 7, logic studio 7, and just upgraded to logicstudio 9, but my serial number is not recognized. All my copies should be registered with apple already, so how should i best remedy this?

Hi again and thanks for the reply.
I tried to follow your instructions but isn't working still. I think I did something wrong. Here is what I did:
1. Went to Midi Setup, double clicked on IAC driver and then checked the "device is online" box. It says its on Bus 1.
2a. In pro tools, went to peripherals, at the synchronization tab I left MTC reader port: ANY and put MTC Generator Port: IAC Driver, Bus 1
2b. Then went to the Machine Control tab, enabled MIDI Machine Control and set it to IAC Driver, Bus 1.
3a. In Logic Express I went to preferences>Midi>Sync and selected listen to MMC Input and took Midi Clock off. I see where it says MTC but there isn't a place to make it the slave.
I know I'm not doing this right because I hit play on Pro Tools and Logic Express just laughs at me
Can you help me through this. I'm a novice with Macs and Syncing.
Thanks again friend.

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?

Should I get Logic Express if I have Soundtrack Pro?

Hi,
I am new to Soundtrack Pro and was wondering if I should get Logic Express. I am looking for even more music and sound effects for video productions.
Does Logic Express offer more music and sound effects then Soundtrack Pro?
What is the major differences between Logic Express and Soundtrack Pro?
Thanks.
Andy

I think LE8 might be very useful tool indeed, if you are looking for more sound effects and creating your own music.
Both applications allow audio mixing, but with LE you can also use Software Instruments to create unique sounds or to compose entire songs. Plus, LE is more convenient for audio production, just like SP is more convenient for creating and editing soundtracks for movies/video.
Not sure about the effects plugins, but LE might have a wider collection of them.
I think it definitely won't be a waste of money to purchase LE, because it will extend your sound production capabilities.
