Is this version of Logic going to work for me?  (....bugs, freezes, etc.?)

Everyone:
I am just getting into music composition but am fairly serious about it. I am setting my self up with the necessary components to start composing and recording (firebox, controller, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, guitar amp, bass amp, etc.)
I have a powerbook g4 and I am hoping that this machine will run this version of Logic well, it doesn't have a lot of other stuff on it and what is on there now can be taken off. I have heard that there are some bugs in the software and that some people have had some issues with freezing, etc. Is this logic package worth it... ? Is there a version of logic that would make more sense to get... ? Will my powerbook g4 be able to handle the application?
My main concern is that I buy a mixing application that is going to work, and work well... please help!!!
Thanks,
Ed

Ed,
Looking at your equipment and what you're going to be recording I would recommend Logic Express 8 which has 85% of the features of Logic Studio (as far as the Logic application goes). It's lighter in weight (less disk space) and you lose nothing by purchasing LE because it's upgradeable to Logic Studio at no extra expense. I've advised several clients to purchase LE and not one of them have been disappointed, a well known music mag has called Logic Express, "Logic without the extra expense and extra cr@p".
What is the speed of your Powerbook and how much RAM do you have?
The most important thing besides having the minimum processor speed requirement is RAM.

    This process does not appear to work for me.  I'm running 10.8.3.  I created a new user for a guest staying with me.  They have gone now and I am attempting to either change the password or delete the user.  It won't allow me to choose the user I created.  I am logged in as myself and it states that I am an "Admin".  The user I'm attempting to change is listed as a "standard" user and there is a white checkmark inside an orange circular background on the user pic in the list of users. 
    Can someone help me?  I am having a hard time believing that OSx will allow me to create users and allow them use of my computer and it's drives, yet it will not allow me to change the password so I can monitor what they might have been doing while logged on?  What if this were my child?  This guest left under sketchy circumstances, and I'd really like to be able to ensure they were not using my computer to do illegal things or to have illegal communications.
    Any help would be appreciated.  (It's odd that it was so simple to "create" a user and set a password for them.......but it's complicated or a little known process to reverse.
    Thanks.

    Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing.  The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as).  The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue).  However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens.  It will not change to highlight that user.

  • What version of Windows Office will work for my OS X 10.5.8; also what is the most up-dated browser available for my system?

    What version of Windows Office will work for my OS X 10.5.8, and also what is the most updated browser available for my system?

    Sorry for my typo. Ofice 2008 will continue to run on Leopard and Leopard includes Safari 5.0.6. A G4 s an old machine and you will not get much speed when surfing the internet.
    Leopard is no longer avilable from Apple, and costs around $200 on eBay or Amazon.

    So I get this message non stop on my 3GS since upgrading to 4.1. My phone isn't plugged into anything and there's no dust build up at the port at the bottom. Any ideas?

    Heres another thread abouth this topic. Was having same problem. Went to Genius Bar and they cleaned the port for me with static free brush and compressed air. Message went away......for a bit. Still pops up from time to time. Sometimes frequently , sometimes not. A real annoying problem. Also this started after the update to 4.0. Didnt go away with 4.01 or 4.1. Phone has been used in same conditions pre and post 4.xx. Another trip to Apple store is on the horizon.

    Maybe I understood your problem. Get to Settings > Sounds > Ringers and Alerts >Turn Change With Buttons to Off. And if your Side Switch is assigned to 'Mute', turn it back on, else, use the control center to turn off mute.

  • I have reset this firefox daily... it works for a few hours, then will not open a website for 15 mins, and I cannot get emails addresses to show up when sending

    This new updated firefox is awful.. I cannot get websites to open for about 10-15 mins it keeps showing S1 Yimg.com ans s.ytimg, and says shockwave plug in is bad, and all other kinds of crap..
    The connection was reset.. I got this msg below and had to reopen this page in another window, and reload it to be able to write on this now... and my network connection is working xlnt, and there is no firewall blocking firefox...
    The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    Try Again
    I never had this until I got all these new automatic updates with this new firefox.. I did a system restore, which helped for 1 day, and I have had to reset firefox daily to use it.. And now it took 10 mins to open this page, and then I had to reload this page twice to write this..
    I've used firefox for years, and never never had any problems with it. And I see alot of similiar complaints like mine on this forum now..
    What suggestions do you have for me NOW... much appreciated, Cyrus

    I uninstalled all the old flash players and installed the flash player v16.0.0.235 from the Adobe website posted.
    And Firefox is still the same. It takes forever to web search, It takes a long time to get on Youtube, and a longer time now to open a video..
    It's actual worse since I upgraded to the newer flash player.
    I'll do one more fifefox reset (this is the 8th one in a week)
    and it works for a few hrs, and goes back to the slowww way of working...
    Many of my friends I talked to about this, told me to switch over to Chrome like they had to do..
    I guess that's the only alternative now..
    Thankyou all for your help and suggestions anyway.. :)

  • Dynamic versioning plugin tag doesn't work for Netscape using 1.4.1_01?

    When I use dynamic versioning for plugin, for example:

  • This app tab feature doesn't work for me: "Links to new websites open in a new tab so that your App Tab doesn't change".

    I installed the new firefox 4 browser today. In the description about the new app tab the following feature is claimed:
    "Links to new websites open in a new tab so that your App Tab doesn't change."
    This doesn's seem to work for me. When I click a link in an app tab i just get redirected and my app tab changes. Is this a bug or a setting?

  • I bought an iphone sprint carrier on ebay but i want to know if the phone is going to work for an international carrier movistar which is gsm due to the phone does have a sim card slot , what do i need to do ?

    help me how can i get my phone to work in movistar which is my carrier in ecuador gsm . sprint iphones does have sim card slot but i'm not sure if it will work for gsm what do i need to do , how do i unlock it

    IF the phone was unlocked by Sprint for international use, it will work on any compatible (non U.S.) GSM carrier.
    If it was NOT unlocked before you acquired it, you will need to move to the US and establish service with Sprint, then wait the minimum amount of time specified by their policy before they will agree to unlock it for you.
    If you are not a Sprint customer, you bought the wrong phone.
