Logic Express 7 on intel mac

I just purchased an intel mac and have installed Logic Express 7 on it. I cannot get it to record audio (states "audio disabled") and it won't respond to midi commands. Everything basic about the program seems to be up and running besides this. As I've never used this program I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong in the set up or if the program won't run on my intel mac. Garageband 09 works immediately for me upon opening, as does Soundtrack 3. Am I missing something or do I have to upgrade? Thank you much for your assistance.

It seems that the Mini behaves well in general terms, but as mentioned by Mike Conelly in this post, under certain special circumstances, the computer "seems to choke when there were a bunch of plugs on the same track, performance was much better when I only had 10 short on each track instead of 15. This may improve some of the results already reported if you left 15 running on the first track, feel free to double check your results if you think it will make a difference on your box".
Comparing his benchmarks to others listed in the forum, is really encouraging.
I understand that LE is a lot less resource consuming than LP, so probably I'll end buying one soon. If so, I'll post my results. At this time, my iBook is collapsing when using two or three software instruments with big chords...
Last but not least, I'll always have the freeze feature to save CPU...
Thanks again!

Can you use logic express on a mac mini for recording

Can i use logic exprees on a mac mini for recording? Ive seen alot of 8,12, and 16 track recorders with a cd burner and it seems like a logical and more productive gues for me to buy a macmini for the same thing of recording and then I can uses logic express, a far better program for recording. can the mac mini handle the load of processing tracks and how much ram should I uses? thanks tim

sorry, I'd like to butt in here:
I would like to do the same thing, so I am curious about this forum and rather than starting a new one, can I get some advice on this possibility:
Mac Mini
1.83GHz Intel Core Duo
2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
80GB Serial ATA drive
Glyph External HD 250 Gig
Mackie Onyx 1620 w/Firewire
Logic Pro 7.2
thoughts?
The most number of tracks I could see at once would be 16.
Here is something I am most curious about...
Firewire Hard drive
Firewire Interface/mixer
Firewire camera for FCP
to much firewire?
Please let me know if you have other thoughts aswell...

thanks guys, this forum is fantastic!

Cannot open logic song on intel mac

I have a problem with a logic song using logic 7.2.3 on a ppc g5 and a macbook pro.
Using the g5 I can open the song but trying the same with the intel macbook pro (also with 7.2.3.) I receive the message that the song is defect, the dialog offers to repair the song but this doesnt succeed.
It tried already to save a new project of the song but the same happens again.
Any advice would be great otherwise I will have to rebuild the whole song. Thanks in advance...

What you can try is get yourself a copy of Logic 6 (if you don't have it, look here : http://download.info.apple.com/AppleSupportArea/emagic/ ) and then open the song in L6 on your G5. Then save it again, from L6, and try to open the resulting file again on the intel mac.
If this fails, you can also try to use Logic 6 on your MBP and see if that works 'directly'.
Good luck !

Move Logic Express from one mac to another?

Hi people... I used to use these boards a while ago, and it's been a while since I last posted.
I have logic express 7.2 with all 4 jampacks installed on my G5, and in a couple of days I'm getting a MacBook so I wanted to install Logic Express on it.
I've just spent the last 2 hours turning my house upside down trying to find the install discs but I can't find them anywhere (must have lost them when I moved house)
So I was wondering if I'd be able to copy the .app of Logic Express from my G5 to the MacBook, and also copy the channel strip folders etc.
Is this possible, or am I going to have to shell out for a new install disc?

Some possible options in no particular order:
(1) Copy the folders to a SUB Thumb Drive.
(2) Use Dropbox
(3) If your Macs are compatible with AirDrop see list:
MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)
iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
Activate AirDrop on both Macs to Move/Copy your Mail Folders.

Rewire Objects missing in Logic 7.2 Intel Mac!?

So I was all excited about the new stereo Rewire functionality, BUT when I went to try it out, there were no Rewire objects visible in my Channel menu of my Object Parameter box.
Has this happened to anybody else? Am I doing something wrong??

Thanks for the tip. Exact same issue. I poked around Logic for half an hour before I realized something was just plain missing. Many differences on intel Macs. Might be good to have a site dedicated to avoiding these pitfalls.

Hard drive options for Logic Express with a Mac Mini

I'm considering getting a Mac Mini to use for recording video from a medical endoscopic camera. The reasons for choosing a Mac Mini are 1) low cost 2) small size and 3) no fans - blowing dust around an operating theatre can be a risk (therefore even if cost wasn't an issue, the fans would preclude other mac models).
I've been looking at the spec of a Mac Mini - they have 5400 rpm hard drives and only 1 firewire 800 port. I'm using a Canopus ADVC 55 to convert analogue video to DV which connects using Firewire.
Will the built in hard drive be ok, or should I consider replacing it with a 7200 rpm drive, or get an external Firewire drive. PResumably, with only 1 firewire port on the Mac Mini I would need to find either a hard drive with 2 firewire ports to chain devices (which I've heard can be a problem) or perhaps get a firewire hub (similar problem?).
Currently I'm using a MacBook Pro with an internal 7200 rpm drive and this works fine (except when it gets low on hard drive space and I get dropped frames, leading to complete loss of the recording...).

Thanks - I just did a quick search and there are some Firewire 800/400 'bilingual' hubs around at reasonable prices.
I'm tempted to try the Mac Mini server, and perhaps have the 2 drives in a Raid 0 configuration. I could then have it backing up to a Time Capsule overnight (to mitigate the risk of using Raid 0).
Recording to an external drive might be useful though - as it would be a quick way of moving the data to a Mac Pro for compression for archiving. I find moving 10-20GB files over 802.11n to be very time consuming.
I'll certainly bear the dust in mind in terms of the risk to the Mac Mini (I've seen PC's having failed power supplies because the air inlets have been clogged with dust). My main concern however would be the risk of infection due to the fans causing air movement. There is an enclosed space it could be located, not great for cooling though.

Cannot Record Audio using Logic Express 7.0.0 on 13" Macbook

Help! I have Logic Express 7.0.0 and am running it in on an Intel model Macbook 1.8Ghz, 13''. I do not have an external soundcard. Will this version of Logic Express allow me to record live audio if I do not have an external soundcard? I only want to be able to record & edit a single audio track, so thought I might be able to. I cannot seem to get the 'R' (Record) button to appear despite activating it in the >View< section, so I cannot arm any tracks, and so cannot record. Is there a bug with this version of Logic and the Intel Macs? Do I need to update? If so, what would be the best way to update?
Regards,
Lee

Intel Macbook 1.8Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8) No External Soundcard

I updated to Logic Express 7.0.1 successfully but the problem wasn't solved. Now if I try to update to Logic Express 7.2.0 it says that it cannot find the correct version of Logic Express. Im not sure how updating works - Can Logic Express 7.0.1 be updated to Logic Express 7.2.0?

Kontakt as plug in or standalone In Logic Express?

I run Logic Express in a Mac book with 2,4 Ghz dual core 2 and I have 2 giga ram.
I recently got Kontact, how is better to run it as a AU on every instrument track
or in a Standalone version routing the outputs to Logic.It seems to me that the CPU works alot now that I use it as AU plugin and i get lot of Audio warning that the system is overload.I dont use audio tracks only midi tracks.
Do I need more ram?
Thanks for help

Hi,
1st: upgrade to 4GB RAM for serious Kontakt usage.
2nd: The CPU usage is there wether you run standalone or plugin. But as a plugin, you can make better use of Logic's automation and these things. If you search about CPU handling in Logic, you can see how to lift some load off it when running heavy plugins. Basically, raise the buffer size and have an empty audio track selected while playing back your MIDI project to prevent CPU breakdowns. Having an active software instrument track selected puts Logic in a kind of "focused" mode where it reserves huge CPU ressources waiting for realtime processing of MIDI inputs to this software instrument. Having an empty Audio track selected makes Logics realtime processing more relaxed.

I've tried that but it still crashes on loading. It seems that once the bug is in there one can't get rid of it...
I'm getting a few odd messages when trying to open the file in v9.02 OS 10.5.7 on PPC.
One is "Set Cycle Pre Processing to 1/96" or "Disable MIDI Clock" or "Leave".
The other ones are search for missing audio files... four to be exact.
Two of them are labeled:
DAE 6#01.wav
DAE 7#01.wav
Are these part of your project?
Why are the labeled DAE?

Logic Express don't find Guitar Rig

Hello,I am using Logic Express for Intel based MacBook Pro, but it does'n find my Guitar Rig, actually sometimes it find G.R. and sometimes don't.... so I moved my "GuitarRig 2.component" from components folder to desktop and then moved again to components folder and it works .... why ?

I had this problem too. Just move the GuitarRig.component file from:
\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\Components\
to:
\YourHomeFolder\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\Components\
and restart Logic.
Let me know if this helps you!

How to connect my Alesis to Logic Express Pro, running on an Intel Mac Mini

Hi,
would anyone possibly have an idea how to connect my Alesis Multimix 8 USB to Logic Express 7,2?
The Alesis has a USB out. But I don't see anything in the L/E documentation on USB connections.
I'm hopeful there's another way.
Thanks very much.
-peter

LE documentation won't give instructions for use of 3rd party equipment, except possibly generically.
Have you downloaded the latest drivers? If it is a USB item, perhaps you are meant to plug in the USB cable rather than wishing it was something else.

Can logic express 7 run on a macbook osx 10.6.8,2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo, 2gb ram?

I have Logic express 7.2 on an iMacppc g5. will it also run on a Mac book with the above description?
MK

I too am having the exact same problem, I've been using G4 for 2 years with Logic Express 7.0.1. I've just tried to install on intel G5 10.6.8. Snow Leopard - I've inserted disks, installed software, opened Applications and nothing has happened, nothing there
I've had a good look on Apple's site, downloaded several updates and still nothing, could this be because my version of Logic is for Power PC and G5 is intel processor?
Many Thanks
Alex

Opening Logic Saves from an Intel Mac on A Powermac

Hi all.
I tried searching for this topic before I posted and couldn't find anything, so I hope i'm not beating a dead horse.
Anyway, me and my buddy both using logic express 7 to collaborate on some music but were having a major issue. I have a Macbook and he has a Powerbook G4. I can open his saved projects just fine, but if he tries to open mine it just crashes logic. My question is - Does my Intel mac save with binary coding, making it impossible for him to open my projects or is theres something else going on here? Is there anything i can do??
Any input would be greatly appreciated

Do you and your friend have the same Project settings (File > Project > Settings) which determine how imported files are handled?
