Garageband and Logic Express duplicate files

Hey,
I've been using Garageband 3 and am interested in upgrading to logic express 7 series. Are any of the loops, sounds, amps, software instruments,etc that are in garageband also in logic express. I guess what i'm saying is it worth the money to upgrade or will I be getting the same sounds and amps and things in I already have in garageband with some extra features and the ability to record in 24 bit. Does logic express have many more sounds, filters, software instruments, samplers than does garageband.thanks

Hi when you upgrade to LE7 you have 4 gigs of sounds that are not in GB
plus you have the option of installing GB sounds but if you already have them on your computer then Logic will recognize them
hope this helps

  • Garageband and Logic Express 7.2.. HELP ME!

    Hello,
    I have had my secondhand mac for a week. It came with Garageband08 and I have just bought Logic Express 7.2 to have some fun with
    Needless to say I am completely new to this ans have a few problems..
    Can anyone please tell me how I get Garageband to recognize the Apple Loops/Jam Packs that came with Logic Express as they don't seem to pull though in the Virtual Instrument browser or the Apple Loops
    Also, even before I bought Logic Express some loops seem to be duplicated. I guess this means they are stored in two different folders - where is the best place to store them (and which folder should I look to delete)
    Plus.. when I pull up the loop browser it says I have 600 odd loops, but the scroll down box shows barely half that amount?
    Lastly, I have a few Prosamples cd's - where do I store these so they pull through into Apple Loops (this may help the problem above)
    Any and all advice given to this newbie would be REALLY APPRECIATED!!

    Can anyone give me a few pointer on how to rewire
    ableton with le7.2??
    The problem i have is that rewire DOES show up in the
    environment page, but i just dont know where to start
    from there. I always get intimmidated by that
    environment thing in logic.
    First, you don't need to do anything with the Environment if you don't need to send MIDI TO Live. If all you want is to get audio FROM Live, follow these instructions:
    1. Create a new track in the Arrange window. You should be given the option to create a ReWire track. If so, select it. Your new track appears in the arrange.
    2. In the parameters window on the left of screen, you'll see a value called "Channel". Click and hold, then select "Audio", then "Rewire", then "Ableton Live", then "Mix L/R"
    3. Now launch Live. Any audio you play should be piped into Logic via the channel you created.
    If you need to control Live via MIDI from Logic, all you need to do is create a Rewire object in the Environment, call it "Live", and change the "Device" parameter (again in the parameters box on the left of the screen) to "Live" and change the "Bus" parameter to whatever device you want to control within Live (or Reason, or any other Rewire slave). This is detailed on page 238-239 of the Logic Pro manual, which is available here (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/LogicPro7_ReferenceManual.pdf).
    Sorry that I'm not in front of Logic at the moment, and some of the names of things might be slightly different. But this should get you started.

  • Logic Pro, Logic Studio and Logic Express

    Can someone explain the difference between Logic Pro, Logic Studio and Logic Express?

    Hi,
    I don't think your friend is right on this. When you install Logic X, only the most essential part will be downloaded. After that you open Logic X, and from within the program  you can download all the other content. Logic will look if you already have Logic 9 content on your harddisk, so it won't download files that are already present. So, after all is downloaded, all files are on your harddisk, just like Logic 9. By the way, Logic 9 will still be available after installing Logic X.
    Whether you will experience crashes will be very hard to prodect, because these will be caused by unforeseen combinations of your computer, audio interfaces, maybe even other hardware, kernel extensions etcetera. If you wait for a couple of months, updates of Logic X will probably have less crashes. As said, on my computer it's just as solid as Logic 9.
    Garittan will probably advise a fast harddisk to prevent complaints when people are pushing the plugin to the edge. I would expect that it's not a black/white story.
    The AUMatrixreverb can be found in any audio plugin slot completely at the bottom: Audio Units > Apple > AUMatrixReverb.
    About the Epiano: in Logic Express there is only the Garageband Epiano, I think. Logic Pro 9 had a great ePiano that they gave a new name and changed a bit in Logic X. Both very nice.
    Yes, you may be right, not too many drums with brushes in Logic X, I think. Or does anybody else know where to look??
    Kind regards,
    Jaap

  • Can I rewire GarbageBand2 and Logic Express 7?

    Can I rewire (I mean using the Rewire Program) GarbageBand2 and Logic Express 7? Can either one be master and the other slave? My first guess is that I would like to go as far as I can with GB2 as the master and then make Logic Express 7 the master and create a multi-tempo song with perhaps other editing possible through Logic Express.

    I got into garageband because, I, a songwriter, have a song for which I want to make a good demo. I am still trying to learn GarageBand. I would stay with GarageBand the whole way except that the song has two tempos and GarageBand can't do it. Thus I am buying Logic Express. But I don't want to learn anymore about Logic Express than I have to, to get the job done. I will stay in GarageBand as much as I can.
    Unfortunately, even if I can get my multi-tempoed song back into GarageBand with rewire, GarageBand can't handle the two tempos. So, for that reason, I have to write this off as a learning experience.

  • Anyone use hypersonic 2 and logic express 9?

    anyone use hypersonic 2 and logic express 9?

    Actually I have found a way for at least the instrument plug ins to be accessed.
    I was able to set up an instance of Sculpture in MS2 and record it in LE using Soundflower.
    Route the audio from MainStage to Logic and record onto an audio track in Logic as follows:
    If not already installed, get SoundFlower. After installing it.
    A) Setup the sound you want in MS2 and audio output to Soundflower (remember to Apply Changes or it does not hold).
    B) In Logic Express set the audio input to Soundflower and create a new audio track for recording. Important: set Soundflower's audio output to however you listen to your audio or you won't hear anything.
    C) Press RECORD and start playing, LE captures Mainstage's sound.
    I have not tried to wire LE's output to MS2 to take advantage of Space Designer. but since this functions, I'm not sure why that couldn't work as well. It is still flipping though a few screens though...might just be easier to get Logic Pro from the App store....

  • I have just bought a 2011 iMac (2.5 ghz, 4gb) and logic express 9, and when i installed logic and tried to run it i had a message saying 'you can't use this version of the application logic express with this version of Mac OS X. How do i sort this out!?

How do i sort this out!? It is very frustrating as the main reason i have bought  a mac is to use logic! Any help would be great as i am a complete novice when it comes to Macs!

    You're probably on OS X Lion?
    I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

  • Is it OK to install both Logic Pro and Logic Express on my computer?

    Is it OK to install both Logic Pro and Logic Express on my computer?
    I use Logic to perform live, but i only have 2 USB drives on my computer, and i use them during my performances, one for my keyboard, and one for my audio interface...........therefore, i dont have room to plug in the "node key" in order to use Logic Pro.
    So is it ok for me to have Logic Express installed, too?? This way, I dont need to plug in the "node key" (or whatever it's called).
    I know i can buy a USB hub, but i cant afford one right now.
    Thanks, daddies!

    I installed both on my PB 12" - no problem at all
    cheers!

  • Garageband3 files and Logic Express 7.1.1

    I gather there's a problem bringing GB3 files into LE 7. (I know I'm having a problem. They seem to import OK -- well, except for the error message about a missing plugin -- but then when I hit the play button, I don't get any sound. GB2 files don't seem to have that problem.) But exactly where is that information stated plainly and simply for those us who are very new to LE? I've been searching this site now for an hour and all I found was one post that said something like "you know by now that you can't open GB3 files in LE," which confirms that there's a problem, but it isn't precisely true. (They do open. I just can't do anything with 'em afterward.)
    So the question -- is there any plainly stated information on this site about problems with GB3 files and LE3? And if so, where? I'd like to know what the story is.

    I am pretty new to Logic Express, so please bear with me while I mumble...
    I found that when importing GB-3, Logic brings in all tracks set to have no output. Going through the tracks and giving each of them Output1-2 instead of a bus in their I/O section made everything seem to work fine.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 Apple Loops, Jam Packs and Logic express 8 installation?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    I've currently use Final Cut Studio 2 +Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2+ application with all included Apple Loops.
    I own several Jam Pack Apple Loops packages (with a less than impressive integration with Garage Band for older one).
    I purchased Logic Express 8 pro today.
    Is there more Apple Loops files included with Logic express 8 than with Soundtrack Pro 2?
    What is the best way to install Logic express 8 Apple Loops to avoid duplicate loops files?
    Thank You.
    Michel Boissonneault

    Well, the installation was very simple, no duplicate files and tight integration of GarageBand loops and JamPacks.

  • Apple Pro Training Series: Logic Pro 8 and Logic Express 8 - Loops on the C

    The CD that comes with has loops on it that you have to load into Logic Express. That is fine, but some of the loops are already present in Logic, thus now I have two sets of the same loops. For example, the listing in Guitar will show:
    Southern Rock 01
    Southern Rock 01
    Southern Rock 02
    Southern Rock 02
    Not a huge deal but I would like to get the duplicate loops out and make sure I select the right ones to delete (the ones from the CD, not the ones drom Logic)
    Has anyone come across this yet?
    RH

    Have a look here: Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for GarageBand
    Use sorting by date to find files which were copied there recently. This may help.

  • 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.

  • Lion and Logic Express 9.0

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro and just bought a store-boxed version of Logic Express, which is ver 9.0. After installing, I got the message that it wouldn't launch because it's incompatible with this version of the OS. I tried downloading the latest update from Apple, but my serial number didn't go through as valid, perhaps since in this situation it's not yet registered. Is there away to proceed short of trying to return the software at Fry's?

    Hi,
    Download the Latest Version of Logic Express from here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1015
    Install it... Restart your Computer... then see if you can Open and Register Logic...
    If you encounter any issues after doing this.. Give Applecare a call and tell them you are a Logic User...

  • Logic express & pro file diffrences

    im sure that its possible to open LE files into LP but is it also possible backwards? (open logic pro files in logic express)?

    Yes, it should be possible.
    But be warned that Logic might not find all the plugins needed, so you'll have to replace them with substitutes of lower quality. Example Space Designer -> Platinum Verb. Or EVB3 -> EVB.

  • Imac Internal Soundcard and Logic express 9

    Hi there, I have just purchased an imac with Logic express 9 (will arrive in a couple of weeks), which has for the time being eaten up all my funds so I cannot yet buy an external audio interface for it. Would anyone be able to give me any information as to the capabilities of the built in soundcard when used with Logic? Obviously I am not expecting anything amazing by any means but is it at least usable until I can afford a decent firewire interface? There isn't really any technical information about it I could find on apple's website so thought I would ask here to see what people's experiences with it are. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
    Dan.

    Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I won't be recording guitar, I will be recording a hardware synth (which I can run through a small mixing desk to boost signal to the audio in on the imac for the time being). I also have a usb midi keyboard/interface so I am covered in that aspect. I was wondering what the latencies are, and if the internal soundcard supports 24 bit recording.
    Cheers,
    Dan.

  • Amplitube 2 Live and Logic Express 9 Library

    OK so I saw a ton of old threads about how amplitube 2 does not install or authorize or validate on Mac. I was able to successfully install it, authorize it, and validate it through the AU Manager in Logic Express 9. I see all the amp modeling effects in the IK Multimedia folder on my hard drive. However, how do I choose an amp/effect within Logic Express 9? I see that in the Library, it lists all of Logic's presets and even Garage Band's...but not Amplitube's?  I have used this very same installation disk on a PC with Acid Pro a couple of years ago and it worked perfectly. I admit I am still learning the ins and outs of Logic Express.

    1) Create a new audio track.
    2) In the channel strip on the left, click on Inserts>Audio Units>IKMultimedia>Amplitube2Live.
    The Amplitube plugin window will then pop up and allow you to select your rig and tweak your sound.
