Going from Leopard to Snow Leopard - Logic Studio 8 license question

Hello everyone !!!
I'm currently running Leopard on my MacBook and I'm planning to upgrade to Snow Leopard by performing a clean install of it.
My question is:
Will I lose my Logic Studio 8 license or any features, like the upgrading to Logic Studio 9 one, if i do it that way ?
Thanks in advance.

If you wipe Logic by doing a clean install, then Logic will ask you to re-enter your serial number just as it did on first installation.
if you originally upgraded from LP7, it will probably also ask you for your original XSkey as well.
As long as your have your serial number, then there is no problem doing a clean reinstall.

Going from stereo to surround in Logic?

I know that the manual discusses setting up for surround in Logic, but I'm just wondering how difficult/time-consuming/different people have found dealing with setting up sequences and mixing when going from stereo to surround in Logic?
thanks in advance-

Real easy, not a problem at all. You'll lose your pan placements but simply set up your outs correctly highlight all your tracks in the audio environment and convert them to "surround". One thing to watch out for is the centre channel. I would always recommend panning your L/R field stuff between L&R without using the C channel. Especially if the stuff you're panning is from a stereo source (phase nightmare). So to do this double click on the pan knob and select "5.1 without centre" in the output pane. Some sound guys really like you to keep the C channel clear for dialogue but for montages/ music-centric sequences but slinging a mono kick or bass into the centre speaker is never going to be a bad thing, imagine an entire woofer dedicated to the bit of your score that gets you laid?
Couple of other pointers:
• Using a big reverb? set up a duplicate verb for the Ls/Rs send only, set a slightly larger initial delay (10msecs would do you nice) and pan it hard to the surrounds, hey presto surround reverb.
• Don't ever use saxophones in surround.
• Don't stick too much dry/ live matter in the surrounds, people will fear you're taking people "out of the movie" and re-recording mixers don't like it either. So reverbs, delay returns and a snitch of this and that will be substantial. I love duping pads for the surrounds/ Take an Absynth pad and then adjust a small parameter to change the sound slightly. Get one to fight the other between fronts and rears, hey presto, surround!
• Watch the amounts you're sending the LFE, this stuff works better if you're selective. So if a sound isn't in need of sub assistance zero the LFE send (which - again - you get to on the surround pan pot). If you can limit your LFE send to a bit of kick and bass you will be looking at fattos tightus maximus.
Best of luck and hope this has been a help.
C.
P.S. When aligning your speakers remember that the surrounds are always attenuated slightly differently. Off the top of my head I think it's -4db, but don't quote me on this (yes I got someone else to do it in my studio, and it's way past time I did it again!). Can someone confirm this?
P.P.S Saxophones...... don't you think we should leave those onerous windy pipes in the 20th century?

Going from Mavericks to Snow Leopard?

I'm trying to go from Mavericks to Snow Leopard on my 2011 Macbook Air (intel i7, 1.8 Ghz, 4 GB of Ram), but it won't let me. I tried going into Disk Utility and deleting everything off the hard drive itself, then booting from the disc itself, but it won't work. I tried restoring for a Snow Leopard back-up, it would work, although it did let me boot to a Lion backup. I even tried to simply set the start-up disc to my Snow Leopard retail disc, but it wouldn't boot. I could hear the disc moving in my USB superdrive for 15-20 sec, then it just stopped and the computer stays at the Apple logo. Any suggestions?

You cannot run Snow Leopard on that model. You can reinstall Lion which is what came pre-installed from the factory:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

I have a 2006 Imac. I updated it to Snow Leopard from Leopard. So now my question is can I update to Mountain via The App Store?

SO I guess I'm doing this right haha. But I have a late 2006 IMac. It's running Snow Leopard. I want to know if I can update it to Mountian Lion via the appstore? I was thinking no, because it is a 2006 computer. But I read some articles that said I could. I just want your thought on this. Thanks!

No, it cannot be upgraded to Mountain Lion, but it may be updated to Lion.

Logic Studio HE License

I've just ordered Logic Studio from the HE Store for my new Macbook Pro but I plan on buying an iMac after MacWorld.
I'm just wondering if the license for Logic Studio allows for the software to be installed on more than one computer if I own them both and will only be using one at any one time.
Thanks

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.

Going from Lion to Snow Leopard: How to backup?

Hi,
I am going to do a clean Snow Leopard install on my computer after using Lion for a while. I'm not happy with the loading times on Lion and FontLab doesn't work, so that's why I am going to go back to SL.
However, I need to backup my harddrive before I install Snow Leopard. Will it work if I do a timemachine backup from Lion or will it include some unwanted Lion-files, when I import the backup into Snow Leopard?
Cheers,
Kasper

See Kappy's going back to SL from Lion guide.

Often can't open Lightroom 3 after going from Leopard to Snow Leopard with out rebooting system...

Ever since I upgraded to snow leopard a month ago or more it seems I can't open Lightroom when I'm ready to run the program without having to restart my computer. This is happening on both my macbook and my new mac mini. I keep my Lightroom catalog on an external hard drive so I can access it from either computer and have an alias stored on both computers that used to open my program when my external was plugged in and ready. I've also noticed since upgrading I'm unable to upload photos from my memory card reader without a lot of fussing around - often needing to reboot to get the import to happen in Lightroom, or just uploading my photos to my desktop without having Lightroom open, then once they're finished uploading I can import and move them into my Lightroom 3 program/catalog/photo storage. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Or what I might need to do to fix these problems?

I think I would look at if you have the latest Parallels;
clone and backup your system and files before doing anything;
boot off 2nd hard drive and run Apple First Aid + (Disk Warrior or DG3 or TechTool Pro 5).
Always be prepared to be able to restore your system to prior point, that could even mean keeping 10.6.4 around for a month until you know 10.6.5 and 3rd party software and drivers all play nice together.
Bottom line: invest in two backup sets and methods; a copy of SuperDuper or CCC; and Disk Warrior.
I've used VBox, Fusion but not Parallels, plus Windows XP Mode, VHDs and VMs under Windows Vista/7.
I'd go back to ERASE and INSTALL and then do all your updates, then start on 3rd party with main packages first (CS5 and others). Off load, save, backup everything and anything you might need first of course.
Last but actually #1: a small 30GB OS X 10.6.5 drive volume (can take the 30GB from one of your backup drive is fine) so you can run the latest DU plus other system maintenance (DVDs get old, out of date, slow to boot, can't use Finder and other programs).

Going from 10.6 Snow Leopard to 10.5 Leopard on new MacBook

I have a new MacBook that comes with 10.6 Snow Leopard. The publishing company that I work with will not work with any operating system newer than 10.5. I have 10.5 OS on a disc. Is it possible to roll back to 10.5 if it originally came with 10.6? Has anyone done this? Any issues?
PLEASE HELP!!!

according to this
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/o-t
and this
http://planetquark.com/2009/09/21/quarkxpress-7-not-officially-supported-in-mac- os-x-10-6-snow-leopard-or-windows/
Quark & works in snow leopard even though it's not officially supported. quark 8 is officially supported so you might want to upgrade to that and run it on your new mac.

Studio Creator Licensing Question

I'm currently a developer looking into 2 things...
1.) Evaluating the tool and...
2.) Creating a website for a non-commercial uses for a non-profit....
Am I on safe grounds as far as the non-commercial usage? If not, how soon could I purchase it....etc.?

You can purchase the SDN Standard subscription which includes a copy of Java Studio Creator today, we launch on Monday 6/28!. There is a free 30 day trial version of the subscription services and 30 day trail for Creator available as well.
SDN/Creator does not have a not-for-profit clause in it's license, so you will need to purchase the $99 SDN Standard subscription once the 30 day trial expires or you intend to commence production development.
We may, if there are many customer requests, look to see if we need to change this in a later release.
Thanks,
Dan

Final Cut Studio Crossgrade License Question

Our office is in the process of updating all our G5s with the FCS crossgrade and have run into a little snag. The update comes with one serial number for Studio and it is presumable that it replaces and supercedes the previous versions of FCP, DVDSP, Motion, Livetype, and Soundtrack... So far, most of the machines are doing that. However, we have a couple of machines that are still attaching themselves with the old licenses.
Is there a preference file that can be deleted or an xml tag that can be changed in order for the new Final Cut Studio installer to prompt us to enter in the new serial?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you rename /Library/Application Support/ProApps/Final Cut Studio System ID that should prompt you the next time you open an application...

Logic Studio not installing properly

I'm on my 3rd time trying to install Logic Studio. It stops at the 3rd audio content disc and asks for "Please insert the "Logic Studio" disc to continue installation." Nothing I do at this point helps. My iMac G5 has Logic 7 Academic on it so I'm installing a full retail version Logic Studio. I also have iLife 5 installed. I've removed the pref list from 7, and dragged the Logic Studio icon back out of my applications folder before trying to reinstall each time. I am installing everything on my internal volume except the Jam Packs which I requested to be placed on an ext HD. Can anyone offer further advice?

I had the same problem: one of the audio content DVDs was defective and would stall the installation.
I installed the programs and the apple loops and called Apple Support. They sent a replacement DVD and I received it shortly after so I could install the audio content.

Logic Studio - Packaging

Hi,
I am looking to remotely deploy Logic studio (including additional content). We have Mac OS-X server running with PackageMaker and Apple Remote Desktop 3.5. I have managed to make a package to deploy the standard package for Logic Studio, but I am unsure how to create a package to include the additional content and also pre-fill the licence key. Does anyone have a guide which may be of use? I am relatively new to macs, especially the server side, and could do with some advice. the logical process seems quite different to the before and after snap shots used with msi creation.
Regards,
Si

The standard packages are not the problem (well, meaning: it is technically possible to deploy them), but the serial number is stored in a machine specific. You need a Logic Studio Volume License for deployment to several machines.

The info is linked above. I agree that that info should be on the download page, but not having that info there doesn't mean the drivers aren't 64 bit.
http://www.motu.com/techsupport/technotes/64-bit-mac-compatibility
Hardware
When using the 64-bit kernel in Mac OS X v10.6 and later, 64-bit hardware drivers must be used. MOTU FireWire/USB2 audio interfaces, PCI-424 audio interfaces, and USB MIDI interfaces can be used with the 32- or 64-bit kernel. *The minimum driver versions required for use with the 64-bit kernel are:*
*FireWire/USB2 Audio 1.5 (37320)*
PCI-424 Audio 1.5 (38352)
USB MIDI 1.5 (37320)
The current version available for download (after you log in) is 1.5.38352, so according to MOTU it is a 64 bit driver and runs on the 64 bit kernel.
Download here, you may need to log in. Forget about the two pages you linked to, I'm not sure how you found them, but they are old and are no longer relevant. http://www.motu.com/download/downloadmatching_downloads.html?platform_id=2&productid=14
The link to the download itself is here, again this link may not work if you don't log in first.
http://s3.amazonaws.com/motu/downloads/firewire/MOTUAudioInstaller-1.5.38352.zip
I downloaded the latest and tested it on 64 bit kernel and it worked fine, so yes, they are in fact 64 bit drivers. If you are still skeptical, just download for yourself and boot into the 64 bit kernel, you'll see that they work fine.

Advice needed on whether to reinstall Snow Leopard with Logic Studio 8

Prior to purchasing Snow Leopard upgrade, my Imac 3.06GHz 4GB RAM was running Logic studio 8 really nicely. Plugins include Realguitar 2, Abbey Rd drums, KorePlayer and I use the Tascam FireOne controller for audio. After installing Snow Leopard I noticed logic was overloading much easier than previously. This appeared to be that only one core of the CPU was showing activity and once that maxed out the system stopped. I decided after much frustration to wipe the iMac and revert to the original OS. However I dont think the situation has improved much - although I dont get logic hanging when I quit the application, I notice it still tends to run out of steam long before it did before. Now I am wondering whether to risk reinstalling the Snow Leopard upgrade as I would like to get a trackpad and a few other features I miss from SL. I am guessing from what I've read on the forum that many users are happy with Logic 8 studio on Snow Leopard and are not getting the same issues as myself. I've read the articles on load balancing cores etc, but what I dont understand is why I never had to bother with this before .. it all just worked fine!
If I do install the upgrade to SL, is there an easy way to reverse if I am not happy without having to completely reinstall everything? If I backup with time machine, will that enable me to revert back to the OS?
Sorry for such a long posting but advice would greatly be received! I also have a macbook pro which I havent tried installing snow leopard on yet, maybe I could try it out on that first?
Many thanks
Simon

Snow Leopard is for Logic 9 and higher. Or vice versa.
Cheers
