Logic 8 Pro Installation/ Logic Express 8 uninstallation question

Is there any reason I need to keep Logic Express 8 installed after I install Logic Pro 8 ? I was hoping to free up some space...
I am installing Logic Pro 8 as I type this. I can hardly wait to use it.
; )

The easiest way is just to drag the LE folder from Applications into the trash.
There may be some preferences but it doesn't matter if you leave them. Ditto for files in Application Support. There may also be jam packs, templates and other user data lying around but there is no simple way of locating and deleting the lot.
If you're paranoid, use spotlight to find anything with Logic Express in the filename and trash that. Still won't be complete, however.
Think about this:
You use MS Word. You create lots of docs, download templates, perhaps clip-art and word-art. You create your own dictionary and add auto-correction tables. You customise the program and store things all over the hard drive. No installation program is going to find all the things that you've dotted around. Ditto for Logic Express. Just trash the app and leave the rest to rot. It's a small number of megabytes (unless you've installed Jam Packs) and that's peanuts compared to your likely storage.
Don't worry; be happy ;o)

  • More Logic Express 7.2 questions

    I've used Cubase for some years (and Cakewalk before that) so I consider myself pretty au fait with DAWs, but I have a few basic questions about Logic (I would RTFM from cover to cover if it was paper, but online is not an acceptable substitute in a program of this complexity):
    If I record a take in an audio track, and I want to record over the top of it without hearing the previously recorded take. Actually, all I want to be able to do is record into the track. Do I have to set punch points? Can I manually drop in? I don't know how to record over an existing take.
    Although the documentation mentions that the FW-1082 can set punch points and locate points, there's no way I can do this. In fact, how do I set locate points, in/out points, etc. either with or without the FW?
    Is there any audio scrub function when editing a track? And on the subject of editing, are the edits destructive or non-destructive?
    How do I return to my previous start position automatically when I'm not in Cycle mode?
    I'm willing to forgive Logic a lot of things - the latency on this system is much better than it is with Cubase, but so many obvious (to me, anyway) things are buried, and the Environment is confusing to the point of driving me to drink.
    Many thanks if anyone can answer some of these questions.

    Yes, I know about the manual... I've just bought the Martin Sitter Training Guide, though, and I find it incredibly useful - much more than the online PDF (I have enough printed-out manuals from other software lying around the place that I don't necessarily want to print out another 500+ pages). But your point is well-made. I actually write pro audio technical manuals for a living, and I know how difficult it is to get the user to read them.
    Of course I searched in the on-line manual, by the way - but the problem is that I sometimes don't know what I'm searching for - Logic's terminology is confusing if you come from another DAW ("markers", "locators", "location points", "song positions" - you get what I mean?). Also the manual is not accurate in places (Audio Input objects, anyone?) and the section on punch-in didn't give any answer at all to my question. In any case, I still didn't find what I'm looking for (to quote U2) in the manuals, but in less than an hour's reading of the Sitter book, I found what I wanted. That must mean something...
    Whatever, having found out some things from the book, I am basically a lot more confident about knowing the underpinnings of Logic (the manual is very little help in explaining these - and yes, I did read the first sections - they're mainly "how", not "why" or "what") and I feel I can move forward.
    Thanks for your help on the location, anyway. Now if I can only debug the FW-1082's EQ command set to make it work properly...

  • 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.

  • HT3423 My iMac came with logic Express 8 installed, how do I get it to work on my mac book pro

    My iMac came with Logic Express 8 Pre installed. How do I get it to work on my Mac Book Pro

    Along with your OS and applications installation DVDs, you should have gotten an LE8 installation DVD along with its manual and serial numbers when you bought your iMac. 
    Your license allows you to install LE8 on two computers as long as they are your computers, you are the sole user, and you do not run Logic on both simultaneously. So dig out your installation DVD, install it on your MacBook Pro and enter your serial number and you will be good to go.

  • I want to transfer Logic Express 9 from my old macbook to my new retina macbook pro???

    When I try and transfer Logic Express 9 from my old macbook running mt lion to my retina macbook pro running mt. lion I get the message "You can't use this version of the applicaiton "Logic Express" with this version of OSX."
    The version of Logic express is 9.1.8. Both mac's are running 10.8.2. I don't get it.
    Can anyone help me on this?

    Hi
    How did you "transfer" Express?
    It might be better to re-install Express 9 from scratch, though without an Optical drive you would need to:
    a) Use an external Optical drive
    b) Make a disk image of the installer on another computer and then copy that image to the rMBP
    c) Make use of Apple's Remote Disk

  • Logic Pro Upgrade from Logic Express 8 + Lion. Please help

    I have bought a new mac with lion operating system after my previous mac was damaged beyond repair, however i am running a logic pro 9 upgrade from logic express 8. I have been told that logic 8 doesnt work on lion, but i need to install it before i can install my upgrade to logic 9. Can someone help??

    I believe you just need the serial and not necassirly the installation of 8 on your system.

  • Using Logic Express 8 with Logic Pro 7

    I have Logic Pro 7 academic version,but I would like to try Logic 8, so I was going to give express a shot. Will Logic Express 8 use my software instruments and plug-ins from Logic Pro 7?

    You know what? I can't help but to even be ashamed to be in any of the forums here in LE8. I got mine on Tuesday and, within minutes of the installation, I had "everything" set up and ready to go for the recordings that I do. Not one bump. It has been nothing but a virtual love fest with me and LE8! With all of the complaining and problems that people are having, I feel that I am definitely in a neighborhood where I am not welcome.
    Here's what I did. I looked at the options for creating a new song that we get when we want to create a new file (you have seen the prepared workspaces that LE8 gives you to choose from) and, because I only use "live" instruments (guitar, banjo, mandoline, 12 string guitar, classic guitar, and a fiddle--as well as my voice(), I just chose the selection for 8 live instruments. Now, I have read the forums for abou a year and the major complaint of the newbies is that they can't seem to get music "out" of LE and that it is almost impossible to "wrap their heads around" it. Well, Apple has answered the users with these automatic workspaces with the soundflow already set up. There is no installation of all those preferences and the personal existing hardware. No fidgeting there.
    So, as I sit here in pig heaven and grunt in imported mud with others of my own ilk, I am truly happy and hav not a single complaint.
    May the seas always move in your favor and be calm as the glass of a mirror.

  • Help! Logic Express 8 does not work on my Mac Pro with OS 10.5.1

    Hello, I hope somebody around here is able to help me.
    I have got a new Mac Pro with one Quad core processor since yesterday and it works fine except for Logic Express 8 (version 8.0.1). Whenever I start Logic the program crashes as soon as "Core Audio initialisieren" is shown in the display. I have tried to reinstall the program, deleted it completely and installed it again. It is always the same.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? What can I do about it? I am a musician and I really need Logic Express to run.

    Confused. 10.6 is DVD based. Only Lion and above are downloads.
    And best install is not to upgrade. Do a clean install  - on another drive.
    Corrupt partition tables or bad sectors or no room to adjust the partitions or the directory is corrupt.
    ERASE the drive if Repair Disk didn't work.

  • My macbook pro keeps freezing in logic express 9

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.

  • How can I upgrade form Logic Express 9 to Logic pro?

    I have Loci Express 9 and I want to update to Logic Pro 9 . the only way is to download the "full" version from the app store? SInce I see that the download is only 400Mb what about the 8 DVD that used to come with the previous version? If I download Logic Pro, will It be a new program or It will upgrade Logic Express?

    You might be able to find a Logic Studio updgrade out there in the retail world but the only current and active "upgrade" available is to simply buy Logic Pro for $199 through the Mac App Store. The initial download is only about 400 megabytes but when it runs the first time, it downloads an additional 2 gigabytes or so of "required content." After that, you can go to the Help menu at any time and select "Download Additional Content." There's over 20 gigaytes of additional samples, loops and presets you can download at your leisure.
    To answer the second part of your post, Logic Pro will coexist with Logic Express side by side, but there's really no reason to do that unless you just want to. There's nothing Express does that Pro doesn't do.

  • How to set output 1 and 2 and master in pro logic express when mixing

    what is the recommended procedure for setting the levels of output 1 and 2 fader and the master fain pro logic express when mixing? I'm used to just one master fader with my Mackie board.  Is there anything in the manual?

    Already found the answer myself.
    The entries have to be made in the sun-j2ee-ri.xml file.

  • 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.

  • Can logic pro 8 projects be read on logic express 8?

    I've posted this on the logic pro forum but thought should post it here too:
    So a few weeks ago I went to teach a short one day course in Logic Express 8.... except I've only used Logic Pro 8.....mmmm
    Anyway, with all my projects carefully prepared (without space designers or any non- Express 8 plug-ins) I copied my workshop projects onto the students computers only to find that the .logic file was missing. Eek! The iMacs we were using had Logic express 8 (not pro) on them but for some reason the .logic file was now replaced by a folder - which we figured out was actually the opened package of the logic pro file:
    The folder was always called Lgdoc containing two files: display state & document data
    I've managed to replicate this behaviour on my powerbook which has not got logic 8 installed on it.
    Has anyone else come across this? Has anyone opened a logic pro 8 project in Logic express 8 successfully?
    Is there a way to re-pack a file whose contents are being shown?
    Thanks
    Rounik

    Ok thanks, so I shouldn't have any problem I guess finish the project with logic9. Do u know by any chance if I can have both 8 and 9 running on my Mac?

  • Logic Express to Pro Tools for mixdown

    Hi!
    Really sorry if this topic has been covered before, but all I can find on the various Logic boards I know of are ways of doing this in Logic Pro that aren't available in Express.
    My band recorded an EP in Logic Express, which was great, but the engineer we'd like to use to mix it is Pro Tools-only. I know Pro Tools can load up AIF files, but the problem I have is that each track has different start and end points. If I gave him the individual tracks as is, we'd be spending all day synching them up.
    I've thought of two ways I can prepare the files for him. Please let me know if they're ********.
    1) Setting the fader at unity (0) and bouncing each track individually to a 24 bit WAV or AIF file while the rest are muted.
    2) Manually cutting and pasting "fake" beginnings and endings of audio information to each track, then using the Glue tool to create a new, merged track. This way, I figure, each track should be in perfect synch with the rest.
    Any help appreciated. Thanks! Rufe.

    Hi,
    half ok,
    bounce one by one to a folder (mute the other tracks) from the start to the finish, PCM 24 bit (44.1 if you going to make cd's), WAV, SDII or AIFF,
    that way, all files start and finish in the same spot, Inside Protools you cut the silence parts and don't forget to place a dither plug-in in the master-fader.
    Regards,
    Jorge
