How to swap computers with Logic

I bought Logic as version 3 years ago. Since then I've bought all the updates. Now I want to sell my Mac G4 DP 1GHz MDD and buy a mac laptop instead.
HOw do I install Logic on the new laptop? Do I have to install from version 3 and then all the updates? I don't have all the versions as I had to send my version 5 back.
Grateful, as alwys, for any advice

I also installed the updage without any problems. However, another way is to do this if you want to save all your preferences is to save the Logic folder to something, even a DVD, and then drag it to your Applications folder. I had to do this before and it worked fine as well. Cheers.

  • How efficient is 'Melodyne' with Logic 9?

    I know this has been discussed numerous times, but I am considering buying the Melodyne plugin (the purchase includes a free update to the new version coming in September!), and I would like to know how efficiently it interfaces with Logic as compared to doing it all within say, Pro Tools 8 LE. Are there a lot of extra steps because it's a plugin? Does it suck a lot of extra CPU from Logic to do it's magic? Do most users feel it sounds better than Pro Tool's Elastic Time & Pitch? (less artifacts) And lastly, is there any disadvantage to buying the plugin now instead of waiting until the new version is released?
    Thanks!

    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.

  • How to do this with Logic?

    Hy!
    Any ideas how i can realize this with Logic?:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE7GHgbmlP0
    Are there any (freeware) loop plug ins or something else I could use?

    Yea, but what if we want to make our own loops, instead of using what apple is providing?
    If you're questioning whether you can make your own music loops in Logic as opposed to just using Apple Loops, then you're totally misunderstanding some of the most basic functioning of Logic. That's like asking whether you car will drive you around the block. Logic is a very complex multi track audio and midi sequencing program. Not only can you make any type of sound or audio or midi sequence and loop it to your heart's delight, you can make multi track sequences, songs, complex orchestral arrangements, movie scores, soundscapes .... shall I go on?
    I just got LP8, and I'm just learning it too. Are you really saying that you can't do anything similar to that video with Logic?
    Absolutely not!! In fact, SC's post 4th down tells you how to do something similar. Not EXACTY what's in the video, but SIMILAR.
    Here's the difference: You can't record a single measure drum beat and then have it automatically loop indefinitely *in real time* while you layer more drum beats onto it, each one being recorded after a single measure and played back without stopping. In Logic, you can record a measure, then tell Logic to loop it, and then create another, loop that one, etc etc. The only difference is you're not doing it in 'real time' without stopping, you're building a sequence of looped sounds manually in the arrange. The OP seems to want to do it live, without the beat stopping. For that you need Ableton or another program with 'real time looping' capabilities. The only reason you'd want to do this would be if you A) want to impress your friends, or B) are trying to create beats in a live situation, like a club or something. If that's what you're after, other programs like Ableton Live are better suited for that.

  • Linking 2 computers with Logic node, anyone try it?

    Has anyone established a way to utilize 2 computers side by side to share the processing with logic?
    I have a macbook intell and a non intell mac mini, can anyone advise on this set up?

    I think your question is legitimate because I've
    never found any mention of using Logic Node between a
    PPC and Intel machines in the manual.
    Hi,the reason you do not see mention of Intel in the Logic Pro manual...is because it was written before Intel chips were available on the Macs.
    However, I've read that this is possible.
    The latest version of the Node app,WORKS across Intel and PPC platforms.I use it every day,my main machine is an Intel MackBook CoreDuo 2gHz,and my slave is my G4 PPC iBook.
    In your case, the problem would be the Mac Mini, because you need to
    have computers with Gigabits ethernet ports and the
    Mac Mini come with standard 10/100.
    FALSE!!! NOT TRUE!!! While Logic recommends the use of Gigabit Ethernet to run the node app,you only need it on the HOST computer.And if you are running more than one slave,then it IS neccessary to use a Gigabit Ethernet Hub,in order to be able to have enough bandwidth to avoid problems between the host and slave computers.
    BUT you CAN use any mac with an 10/100 ethernet protocol as a SLAVE NODE.It just will not give you as much horsepower as the Gigabit protocol (100 kbits VS 1000kBits...)
    You could,for instance,have a G5 with Gigabit Ethernet,going to one 4-port Gigabit Ethernet Hub,and that going to 4 Mac of any kind,either 10/100 OR Gigabit.

  • Got a list of empls but how to iterate them with  logic:iterate?

    Hi there,
    quick question:
    Say I have a class Empl with the properties: fname and id (getter and setters as well).
    I also have a list of empl emplList that has 100 objects of type empl.
    in plain java if I wish to iterate them it will simply be:
    for (int x=0; x<listEmpl.length(); x++)
          Empl empl = (Empl) listEmpl.get(x);
          System.out.println(empl.getFname());
          System.out.println(empl.getId());
    }my question is how could I do that with logic:iterate? and what should come in the ActionForm? is it:
    private List emplList = new ArrayList();
    private List getEmplList();
    private void setEmplList(List list) ???
    thanks for any pointers

    thanks for your reply.
    I did this:
    private List emplList = new ArrayList();
         public List getEmplList()
              return emplList;
         public void setEmplList(List emplList)
              this.emplList = emplList;
         }I added some bogus information in the constructor.
         public emplForm()
              for (int x=0; x<10; x++)
                   Empl e = new Empl();
                   e.setFname("ffff"+x);
                   e.setTravelerID(x);
                   emplList.add(e);
         }for some reason, the code you provided didn't work. Do you think there's something wrong with the emplList?
    thanks again

  • How to swap movieclip with other content, in a movieclip loaded external

    Hi! I'm getting desperated.
    I started about 3 days ago trying to solve this problem,
    maybe i'm very noob!
    I have a main movie. Inside this, i load various externals
    swf's. One swf for a menu, another for a image presentation, etc.
    In the menu, i load various instances of another swf file...
    a button swf, and witch one has to have a different image as
    button.
    So inside the button, i have a layer with a button, but no
    shape or nothing, and in another layer, i have a movieclip to can
    swap by an image.
    So, the struct is like this:
    Main Movie
    . image_presentation
    . contact
    . menu
    . . button1
    . . . button
    . . . image
    . . button2
    . . . button
    . . . image
    . . button3
    . . . button
    . . . image
    . . button4
    . . . button
    . . . image
    So, button is only a swf file, with various instances.
    "button" inside the buttons, make the button efect, with a white
    border apearing on mouse over button. "image" is a movieclip
    created only for change with an image (button 1 = image 1, button 2
    = image 2, etc).
    How can i do this, controlling the images url's from the main
    movie?? I had tried a lot of ways, but i could do it.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    sorry there but this system seems convoluted and unecessary.
    You should be able to achieve nearly any 'effect' using either a
    single button instance, or a movieclip instance used as a button,
    but should not need multiple instances to do so, or multiple swf
    files Each button symbol has three 'states' that you can apply
    different 'images' to to achieve an 'effect'. You can even put
    movieclips in a button state to animate something during the
    triggering of that state. It seems that you should be able to at
    least place all of the buttons within the 'menu' in a single swf
    (not to mention that they could all be within the main swf) instead
    of 'loading' them as individual swf files.
    What is it that you're trying to control? the 'images'? what
    do you want them to do, and how are you wanting them to be
    controled?

  • How to operate Toontrack with Logic Pro?

    Macbook Pro:  Mac OS X 10.7.2:  Logic Pro 9.1.6.: Toontrack Solo 1.3.2 /Superior Drummer 2.3.0 / Custom & Vintage Presets:
    Situation question: I have set a library VST path, can record MIDI notes in Logic Pro, see it but not able to hear it in playback due to no audio file captured even though I directed an audio recording file pathway.  When contacting Toontrack the best advice they could give was to make certain I was launching in AU at which I have launched in both MIDI and then tried again Audio recording with input and recording enabled yet am operating MIDI so this leaves me uncertain about the whole thing. I'm on a serious deadline to record tracks from my Roland V-drum kit.  Recap:  I can hear and see Toontrack nicely with the Roland kit, can see MIDI recording within Logic Pro but no playback or audio files found in the library I have set, if this makes any sense. Please be generous in your reply since I haven't taken a course in how to operate LP.  Thank you...

    Your Trying to create an audio track from Midi
    1) You can use the Bounce in Place feature,  (Right Click on region--Bounce/Merge---Bounce In Place
    2) Bounce in the Master fader --Mute all except Superior, set in amd out times, Bit depth...etc
    Make sure you drag to an Audio Track after BIP
    See picts works fine for me
    1-bounce in place
    2-Master fadeer bounce

  • How to use compressor with logic 7?

    I'm trying to record an audio track using the compressor provided by logic. I know that I can insert a compressor to the audio track, but is my understanding that the audio is not compressed when recorded. Is this true? or is there a work around? Thanks

    listen man
    if you can afford an analog compressor then go for that
    source---> tube pre-amp ---> ANALOG COMPRESSOR ----> mixer (for hardware monitoring if you want) ---> Interface
    if you do get a compressor try something with a gate and a limiter built into it as well
    1: limiter is good for setting a level where nothing will over pass that level
    2: gate is a good idea incase you wanna get a good decent sound out of your Tube pre-amp without worrying about the low dirty sounds
    you can use the gate to cut signals below some level, lets say you
    Threshold : -50 dbu
    Ratio : 2:1
    Attack : 1 ms
    Release : 1 sec ( depending on what you want)
    Output : -3 db
    this just a example of what i set for most of my clients, what is, is that i get them in about 30 mins before session and we do sound check plus mic positioning and settings for the PREAMP, COMPRESSOR AND LEVELS IN
    doing all this means the singers / rappers will feel comfortable singing like they are on stage or in their bathroom
    don't let an artist change for you if the artist is good and they happy with their style, position, volume and groove ( because the song will lack of taste and feel at the end)
    tip: recording onto computer/ digital should not clip, you can make the tube as hot as you want but make sure you are about -3 db below clip
    because sometimes good takes only comes once and distorting it and making the clients record about 80x will make the clients lose the feel
    after recording good takes you can go on and compressor to your needs or gain to your needs
    good tip : always make sure you get a good sound before recording or before hitting the disk, less time cutting and pasting more time creating other good things
    and don't over compress with the analog compressor, always leave space for extra stuff just incase
    stash

  • Swapping computers with the setup info

    When I set up my Airport Extreme Base Station I had attached it to a Dell running Windows XP. That desktop crapped out recently and the Base Station continues to broadcast the wireless signal just fine. However, I realize that in order to update the software, I am going to need to hook it up to a computer. I plan to sub in a Dell laptop running XP. I know I should run the ethernet cable that was attached to the dead desktop to the laptop, but should I install the extreme express software on the laptop first, and once it is hooked up, will it read the configuration already on the base station? In other words, somebody walk me through this. Right now I have a wireless signal being broadcast through my house. I don't want to screw that up.
    Roger

    Hello Roger in North Charleston. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I know I should run the ethernet cable that was attached to the dead desktop to the laptop, but should I install the extreme express software on the laptop first, and once it is hooked up, will it read the configuration already on the base station?
    It doesn't matter when you install the AirPort utility, but it will need to be installed before you can administer the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). Just use the installation CD that came with your base station to install the utility.
    , and once it is hooked up, will it read the configuration already on the base station?
    Yes.

  • Help! Need to know how to swap depths with Action Script 3

    So i have several movie clips all on one layer.  Its an interactive gallery where when a photo is selected it plays the movie clip and the photo grows to fill the screne.  The problem is, since the animations take part within the movie clips and all the movie clips exist on the same layer when they are selected and grow to fill the screne they are being hidden behind all the movieclips infront of it in that layer.  I know that there is an action to bring movieclips to the highestdepth or to front on click/release but i do not have a clue where to start. But I am working in actionscript 3.0
    If it will help we can post a link to the flash file.
    Thanks!

    I would probably use setChildIndex like
    container.setChildIndex(clickedOnClip, container.numChildren - 1);
    you could make a more general bring to front as well:
    function bringToFront(obj:DisplayObject):void
        obj.parent.setChildIndex(obj, obj.parent.numChildren - 1);

  • Swapping Computers and then Restoring

    I'm about to swap computers with a buddy of mine. I have this black macbook and he has the new 15 inch macbook pro. I have been backing up with Time Machine since it came out. He is going to restore his computer to the way it was when it came in the box. By booting to the OS X Leopard DVD. Then doing an erase and install. Then giving it to me. Im going to do vice versa and give this to him. When i get the MB Pro im going to turn it on and what should i do from that point to get the new MB Pro to be exactly like the one i have now? Using time machine. What should i expect while doing this also? Thank you so much.

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    If your friend does an +Erase and Install,+ and nothing else, when you start it up, the first thing it will do is ask if you already have a Mac, and give you the opportunity to "transfer" from it directly, or from it's TM backups. See the *Erase, Install, & Migrate* section of the Glenn Carter - Restoring Your Entire System / Time Machine *User Tip,* also at the top of the Leopard Time Machine forum.
    Be sure to note the caution towards the end; turn TM off immediately, and make sure everything has transferred properly. If you have 3rd-party apps that used installers, they may have put some things in the /Library folder that didn't get moved, including purchase keys.
    When you do turn TM on, you may get a prompt asking whether you want to "continue" the backups from the old Mac. This is new to Snow Leopard, and if you get it, TM will probably do a lengthy "deep traversal" and back-up the new version of OSX, or at least the differences.
    But it may simply do a new, full backup instead. If it decides to, you cannot stop it. In that case, your best bet may be to just erase your TM drive and let it start fresh.
    Being a new feature, not many folks have used it yet, and I don't think there's been a case here like yours, so we're not entirely sure what it will do. TM is still a bit quirky in this area, unfortunately, so let us know what happens.
    Also note that you cannot do a full system restore from your backups in this case; the new Mac Pro will not run with the older version of OSX.
    *EDIT: V.K. is correct: I missed that it will have Leopard installed, not Snow Leopard. Sorry.*

  • New iMac 2.1 ghz With Logic Pro 7

    Just wondering if any of you out there have a new iMac and how it is running with logic.
    I have just ordered a new iMac with 1.5gb of RAM and i am going to be using it mostly with Logic.
    Cheers guys
    Ben UK

    Ben,
    The iMac is a beautiful looking computer. When I see one I marvel at how they pack all that technology into the screen. A friend of mine bought one this summer. He intended to put sketches down on GarageBand, and I would import them into LogicPro to beef them up into a proper demo.
    He set it up one weekend and spent the evening trying it out in his back bedroom. Using his SE Electronics mic plugged into his Mackie Spike, he tried to record a little Acoustic Guitar.
    The iMac started to whine. These iMacs have a lot of heat generation, seeing as everything is wedged together in the 'screen'. So the fan has to work very hard. The Fan is also right in front of where you are, so whether it is no noisier than any other computer fan, it's NEARER to you so it seems noisier.
    By the time you've had the iMac switched on a few minutes and you've got the GarageBand song loaded up with a few tracks (or in your case LogicPro7), the iMac will be working VERY hard so the fan will be doing the same. Some say the bearings in the iMac fan cases can be a bit variable regarding noise levels.
    Anyway - The iMac my friend bought was returned a few days later and replaced with a G5 Dual. More expensive? - A little or a lot depending on the screen you buy. But he now can record in a quieter environment.
    You will have 7 days after the iMac is delivered to consider whether my advice is right or not and you wish to return it. If you 'want out', google "Statutory Rights" for the UK.
    Like I said the iMac is excellent but not for ProAudio.
