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

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...
Cheers

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.

    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....

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • Os x lion and logic 8

    I suspect I know the answer to this already but....
    Having recently updated to OSX Lion, this has 'broken' my use of Logic Studio (version 8).  Now, what I should have really done was find out if the new OS supported the software but in my eagerness to install it I missed this vital check.
    I know there is a way to launch Logic 8 (by going into the package content and launching it from there) but I have found this to be extremely unreliable as it crashes more often than it remains stable.
    Is there any hope for there being a fix or update that would allow me to continue to use this version?  I know it is my fault but I don't want to have to spend £160 or whatever the price is to upgrade that was caused by the purchase of the OS at £21
    I know I have GarageBand but, for me, I need more than it provides.
    Do I need to just bit the bullet on this one?
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • Lion and Logic

    Since installing Lion, I can no longer adjust my output levels in Logic Pro. I am told the driver is lacking. Plus if I try adjust sound output whlst playing anythingm iTunes  for example.. The application shuts and repeats the' absence of driver' warning. If I dont adjust the volume, it plays 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.

  • 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.

  • Original Mbox and Logic Express 9

    Does the original Mbox work with Logic Express 9, or is there away to make it work? Thanks!

    okay. i just figured out a really weird fix/workaround
    the only input option is input 1, but, if you go to audio settings, and in the core audio settings, arbitrarily change the Sample Size, it will bring back both inputs.
    like the first time i changed the buffer sample size to 512, then they came back, the next time i launched logic, it was still at 512 but the inputs stopped again, so i switched it back to 256, and now both inputs work again (prolly until i exit logic pro 9)

  • Using Outboard Gear With M-Audio Fast Track Pro And Logic Express

    My Fast Track Pro has 2 insert jacks on the back where you can run a send and return to use outboard gear. The cable you use has 2 female 1/4" jacks (one is send and the other is return) that go to a 1/4" male jack that you plug into the back of the interface.
    My question is this:
    How can I get Logic Express to send a track through the outboard gear connected to my interface? On the track's output settings in Logic there are "Output 1+2", which run to my monitors I think, and "Output 3+4", which don't have anything plugged into them. There don't appear to be any other options for sending the track. How can I get Logic to recognize the Inserts jack on the Fast Track Pro? I'm running all the latest drivers if that means anything. Any help is much appreciated.

    Thanks for helping me on this. I'm still a bit confused on how to send the channel through the insert. The jacks on the back of my interface are "TRS Output 1+2" (my monitors are plugged into these outputs), a RCA "Output 1,2,3, and 4", an S/PDIF out and in, and then 2 TRS inserts jacks, marked 1 and 2. Each jack does it's own separate send and return which is why I had to buy the cable with the 2 female jacks on it.
    I've been able to use the I/O plugin and get the track to accept a signal from the insert on input 1 (I have a looping pedal running in the send chain and was able to get it to play a loop over top of the audio already recorded on the channel), but am unable to send the recorded track through the fx send. What would I need to set the output to to be able to do this? Thanks for your time.

  • Tascam 1884 and Logic Express 7.2.3 - Master Fader Issue

    I am currently having a slightly annoying problem between Logic Express and my Tascam 1884. Whenever I move the Master Fader on the Tascam, it changes the output of the currently selected track in Logic rather than Output 1-2 as it should and used to do.
    I opened up the package contents of Logic to check the control surface drivers to see if there was a new version available. The one installed in Logic for the 1884 was labled as v1.0. I checked on the Tascam website and there was an Application Specific driver for Logic labled as v1.10. I downloaded this and installed it in place of the v1.0 driver and started Logic up. I was greeted with an error message stating that the Control Surface Driver was outdated. To see the actual error message, go here:
    http://flickr.com/photos/ephraim909/454973721/
    Basically, it is stating that the "newer" version is outdated somehow. Is anyone else having this problem or have any idea what may be going on?

    Thank you for the response. However, there are a few things wrong with that idea. First of all, that path that both you and Tascam specify to place the bundle is no longer applicable. The place where all the bundles are now is actually in the package contents of Logic Express, where I specified that I placed it. Secondly, there is something wrong with the driver beyond installing it in that, my control surface will no longer install or work. Therefore I cannot just ignore the error message because if I do, then nothing works at all. Once again I appreciate the suggestion, but that doesn't seem to help in my case.
