Installing Logic Pro 8 / System Drive or Audio Drive

Hi,
I've just bought a new imac (2.4 GHz / 2GB) & Logic Pro 8, I'm going to buy a faster drive for recording audio but should i also install logic to the faster audio drive? or maybe just the extra content (sampled instruments) & keep the application on the standard system drive?
Cheers.

Hi mate,
Personally I do have samples on the same drive as my audio but I've seen this is an area of contention. I think the consensus is that if you have both audio and sampled instruments (also audio) running off the same drive, it won't be as quick as running one or the other off a separate drive. That may be true but it depends on the speeds of both drives etc. I tend to keep all media or content that will stream on a drive other than the system drive (except things that refuse to install elsewhere) and I've had good performance so far.
Cheers

Can i install logic pro without the cd because my dvd driver of my mac doesn't work . i have the key for logic pro

can i install logic pro without cd ? , i have the key for the logic pro but my dvd driver of my mac doesnt work ?

Buy an external USB2 DVD/CD drive..... (Amazon's Basic model works great)
Or..
Borrow someone else's Mac that has a DVD drive fitted and use that via Remote Disk
Note:
There is no legal means of downloading available for Logic Pro 9.. unless you originally purchased it via the App Store..
Therefore, in your case, you must install from the DVDs you have...

Can you install logic pro on more than one system?

How many systems can you install logic pro onto?

I believe via the AppStore you get 5 licences. For the whole family.

I'm struggling to install Logic Pro 9 upgrade on Mountain Lion

Way back we bought one of the last pre-Intel G5 in order to do music processing. We also bought Logic Studio v6 or 7. Then we upgraded to Logic Studio 8 and later decided to use a macbook pro instead of the G5. So far so good. We then upgraded to Logic Pro 9 and can run this on Lion on the Macbook Pro.
My partner is now working away and takes his Macbook with him, so we want to set-up Logic 9 on my macbook pro which is running Mountain Lion 10.8.4. Once this is done we will take it off his machine, so not pirating in any way.
I have managed (at great length) to install Logic Studio 8 on my machine using Pacifist, and I can open it and create projects etc... I now want to install Logic Pro 9 on this machine but I get a message saying that a qualifying copy of Logic or MainStage was not found on the disk. To complicate matters, we can't find either the logic pro 9 disk or an image copy, so I downloaded from the following link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2972851/logic-downloads-fixed.html
which I found in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4948612
I have already spent many many hours fiddling with this, does anyone know how I can get around this problem?

Im using LPX and have found it to work well.... and no less stable than LP9 in terms of general stability. There are some bugs but given we are still in the early stages of development, that is not surprising and is no different to how it was with LP8 and 9 in their early days. I should add I haven't come across any "showstopper" bugs that affect my own personalo workflow and method of using Logic... just a few niggles and minor annoyances... that for the most part can be worked around if they haven't already been fixed in the 3 updates that have come out since initial release.
I have had no real issues with importing LP9 projects into LPX other than of course, the lack of 32bit Plugin support in LPX which means LP9 projects that contain 32bit plugins.. will not fully import into LPX. The midi/audio data imports ok.. the 32bit plugins will be missing however... if you don't have equivilant 64bit versions installed. For me, this issue has been very minimal simply because almsot all the plugins i use, have already been updated to 64bit versions over the last few years.
There has also been an issue with certain parameters in the track/region Inspector after import into LPX, containing weird values.. I have only had this issue once out of maybe 40+ LP9 Projects and in this one case i simply reset the values and all was well. Other users have reported different levels of how often this occurs.
Note: Once a project has been opened and then resaved in LPX the LPX version cannot be opened in LP9 as project compatibility is only backwards and not forwards.
If you cannot find your disk and serial..(which you will also need) Contact Apple as they may be able to provide you with replacements disks if they have any left. Bear in mind if, as it appears, your LP9 is an upgrade from LP8 you will also need your previous LP8 serial as well as your upgrade LP9 serial to properly install Logic on a new Mac. Once installed you can and in fact must... then update LP9 to 9.1.8 via software updates in LIon or Mountain LIon... for Logic to under those OS versions.

When installing Logic Pro 8, "skip" is enabled/greyed out on Logic Pro Box

Hey all
I'm trying to install Logic Pro 8 for the first time on on iMac, however when i get to the custom install options, the "skip" box next to Logic Pro is enabled, and greyed out, and i can't change it, therefore i can't actually install Logic. I can install main stage, compressor etc, but not logic.
Any ideas? I have no trace of previous installations on my system as its never been installed with this set up of snow leopard, but i have double checked everywhere in my prefs, application support etc.
I'm confused and its very frustrating!

Use Pacifist to install it manually.

After Installing Logic Pro X, my Logic Pro 9's 32-bit AUs don't work. The 32-bit bridge doesn't open and run either in my Logic pro 9. My 32-bit AU plugins are crossed out. Help?

As an overworked professional, I simply have to consider the very viable options out there. Never thought I'd be seriously considering a Cubase product.
It's a Steinberg product, not a Cubase product.. in case you haven't been paying attention Steinberg developed the virtual instrument for use in it's programs way back in Cubase 3.55.. the plethora of virtual instruments and the advent of low-latency drivers can be directly traced to Steinberg/Cubase development.. Logic also borrowed Cubase's arrange page format back in the 1980's. Cubase has borrowed from Logic to be sure but Steinberg has long been an innovator for many of the things we take for granted today. It was Logic/Emagic who licensed the VST technology and ASIO low latency format to use in Logic 4.xx. It was Apple who adapted VST to it's own AU format. Also, Cubase and Nuendo have undergone a lot more innovation over the past three years, Yamaha has been good as a parent company. Cubase is not Nuendo's little brother by the way, they are very close, same exact audio engine, same robustness, they can exchange files, the only difference being Cubase doesn't have some of the high end post features that Nuendo has. I use both Cubase and Logic and occasionally Nuendo at the University here.. I know both programs fairly well, believe me, both Cubase 6 and 7 can hold their own with any DAW out there, they just don't come with a bunch of ready made loops and preset instruments.
LogicX will never be able to use 32-bit instruments without a third party solution, nor will it ever include the Bridge. At least according to the people I know.

Re: installing Logic Pro X on a second computer that doesn't have much internet bandwidth

I have two complete studios, two locations, two Mac minis. The first has full internet bandwidth and I've installed Logic Pro X with all the additional content. The second is in a rural location where I have very limited, very slow and very expensive internet. How can I install Logic Pro X without downloading all the additional content? Can the content files be copied to a drive and then to the second computer?

I'd take the second Mac to a place with a better connection. That's probably your best bet.
You could try to copy the files in:
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Logic
Not sure what the result would be. Maybe copy the files first, then install? I think either way LPX has to do this. Another way possibly, install it, then when it requires the content download, close it, copy the files over, then re-open?
Let me know. This is all a guess.

I just bought a IMac and i am trying to install Logic Pro 9 but it keep failing

I just bought a IMac and i am trying to install Logic Pro 9 but it keep failing, how do I get it to work?

In that case it sounds like your DVDs have a physical problem or your DVD drive has an issue reading the DVD,
I would suggest you try making DMG inages of your DVDs, save them to your Mac and try installing from the disk images instead... (Disk Utility reads the DVDs in a slightly different way that can help get around certain physical issues)

Have Trouble Installing Logic Pro 9

When I try to install Logic Pro 9 on my macbook pro (the march released one) by inserting the Installation CD, it runs for about 10 mins, but afterwards says there's installation error and asks me to call apple software assistance.
I know the installation CD works because I try to install it on my other macbook and it works fine. I don't know if its because i have 10.6.7
I don't know what to do, any advice is appreciated
thx

yes, other CDs, DVDs work
migration assistance from my other macbook to this macbook pro?
Yes, I did this with my new imac, it copied programs across no problem, just a thought to get you going.
If your MBP is that new however, is it worth getting an expert or support to check that the drive isn't a little sensitive?

Can I install Logic Pro 9 Studio on my new iMac?

I need help with installing Logic Pro 9 Studio on my new iMac?

Yes.
Assuming you have a DVD drive... to install from the DVDs themselves...
Just run Software Updates after you have installed it... so it updates LP9 (and Mainstage etc) to the latest versions which are compatible with Mountain Lion.

Logic Pro 7 (7.2.3) Audio Units Manager crashes

Logic Pro 7 (7.2.3) "Audio Units Manager" causes Logic to crash whenever it is selected from the Preferences menu. Most plugins have been wrapped by
FXpansion's VST-AU program successfully, Logic (after much work) finally goes through the validation process on start-up, but I'm unable to see what's happening in the AU Manager. Running Logic on a Mac G4 Dual 1 GHz machine with 1.5 GB of RAM. Any suggestions on what could be causing this problem?

the prob is most likely a bad plug in. some of them don't pass validation, others crash the validation program itself. go to the websites of your plug ins and check you have versions that work with your system version and logic version. make sure you check that the fxpansion wrapper is also current. also, if you happen to have the old logic tuner AU plug in from logic 6, get rid of it. it doesn't validate and the tuner is a built in logic plug in now.
