Logic Express 7 Update/Upgrade Question

Hello,
I posted this once before but I'll try again...
I have Logic Express version 7.0.1 and never did get the "paid" upgrade to Logic Express version 7.1 (or was it version 7.2?). I'm wondering what the latest version of Logic Express 7 is and how I would go about getting the update/upgrade to 7.1 (or 7.2)?
I use GarageBand most of the time and don't use Logic Express a lot so I don't really want to fork out the cash to move to version 8 but it would be nice to see it updated somehow. Logic Express 7.0.1 seems to work fine on 10.5.6 for me, by the way.
I just can't seem to find any info on Apple's website about the version 7.1 (or 7.2) update/upgrade.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks so much,
Gerard

It was 7.2.3 (961.9). I still use it along side 8.0.2 (1502.22)…
Because the files in both LE7 & LE8 get huge when they are edited, but unlike in LE7, there is no way to bring the file back to it's proper size. A 350 KB song in LE8 can get to be many MBs, so I'm forced to build the song in LE7 where I can save the final version twice, which brings the file back to it's proper size. I can then open it in LE8 and edit only the few parameters that I've learned don't increase the file's size. The amount of extra work this made transferring 700+ files from Cubase is beyond belief. I needed to get software to preserve LE8 file creation dates for the many files I had to make small changes to in LE7 and import a 'new' file into LE8. And after every 5 times I open LE7, I'm asked to register the application. I had to click that box off the screen over 2500 times.

Logic Studio 2.0 purchased off Ebay... came with Logic Express 9 upgrade instead of full version, serial works to unlock registration but seems wrong and perhaps a loophole. What should I do?

I purchased what was advertised as a Full Version of Logic Studio 2 off ebay. It ended up being Logic Studio Pro 2 Upgrade and came with a copy of Logic Express 9 upgrade which did unlock the installation. I didn't realize it was the upgrade version til I saw the sticker in the upright corner of the box post installation. I feel like this is a loophole and not a legitimate installation now. Is this legit or should I acquire a full copy of Logic Express? The seller continously tells me that it's 100% legal and legit, etc.. I have already demanded he should send me or reimburse me enough to acquire a legitimate copy of Logic Express that supports the upgrade. Am I right in doing so? Or is it okay to use the Logic Express 9 upgrade copy to upgrade to Logic Studio Pro 2? Doesn't seem right. I'm very confused and would love some advice. Thank you in advance.

The Logic Express 9 upgrade package requires you should own Logic Express 8 Full.... for that to be a legal use of the Logic Express 9 upgrade serial which then you could use to register LP9/Logic Studio 2.0 upgrade package using the LS2.0 upgrade serial..
This is an apparent loophole, in my opinion, that is being exploited by the seller....
However, when in any doubt with anything regarding possible legal issues... contact Apple directly and ask them for their advice/opinion on the matter.

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.

Logic Express 7 Upgrade to Studio

Hi
I'm a Logic Express 7 that wants to upgrade to Logic Pro (currently Studio). I went to an Apple store today and the genius told me this upgrade, which lists on the web for 299 is no longer available because a new Logic Pro is coming out and upgrading from 7 Express wont be possible with this version.
Are you aware of this? What should I do? Wait for a new Logic Pro/Studio to come out and buy it from scratch? I would hate to pay full price when I have paid for the Express already... the upgrade to Logic Studio from Express is still available online but at the same time I wouldn't want to upgrade to a program which will become 'old' in a few weeks..
thanks
J

Garbage advice anyway: this is from the Apple store, today.

Although we'd all be happy to see a new Logic, I guess.

Feeling Ripped Off - Logic Express 9 Upgrade Issue

Hi, I have been using Logic Express 8 for about a year. I just bought the upgrade for Logic Express 9. I started installing it, entered the serial number and then I was prompted to enter the serial number for my Logic Express 8.
I have since misplaced my LE 8 booklet with the serial number on the back (a bunch of stuff didn't make it to my new apartment in a move). I didn't think this would be a big deal. I thought I would be able to find the serial number of my current version of LE 8 by clicking on the "About Logic Express" tab when I have the program running. However, when you click this all you get is who it is registered to (me) and the version number (8.02).
I called technical support and asked them where I can find the serial number and they said sure, "click on About Logic Express when you have the program open and it will be right there (he also called it the splash page)." It wasn't and isn't. The tech support person said "ah yes, only the previous versions of Logic Express show you the serial number of the version you currently are running." I asked if there was anywhere else that I could find this number and he said "no."
Solutions? He suggested I find my receipt and fax it in and get a new serial number. Impossible, I don't have the receipt. Call the store and see if they can dig it up. Let's get real. It was purchased with Xmas money in cash I got from my parents.
Basically, I'm screwed. I have an opened LE 9 upgrade that I can't return. I have a version of LE 8 that I legally purchased and for some dumb reason there isn't a file or page or something in the program that notes my serial number.
Not fair. I guess I have to tattoo all serial numbers for stuff I purchase from Apple to my arms on the chance that I lose a booklet. Why Apple doesn't include a file or store the serial number of the LE version you are running somewhere on the system is beyond me.
So, I feel ripped off. Apple doesn't care. I thought there would be some way we could work this out (like printing the screenshot of the page that says I am the registered owner) but they would rather try to get another $100 out of a loyal Apple customer and force me to buy LE 9 straight up. I've probably spent about $7,000 on Apple stuff in the past 6 years. I am the definition of a loyal customer.
Not fair.

You didn't buy Logic Express, you merely paid for the right to use it. When you install it, you are presented with the license agreement to which you must agree.
At the top of the agreement it reads "IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THE LICENSE, YOU MAY RETURN THE APPLE SOFTWARE TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU OBTAINED IT FOR A REFUND...."
So, try taking it back to the store and telling them you declined the license agreement and want a refund.
You can find a copy of the Logic Express license agreement here: http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/logicexpress.pdf

Can i upgrade from Logic PRO 7 to Logic express 9 (upgrade version)?

Hello
I was about to upgrade from Logic Pro 7 to Logic Studio 9 when i noticed that all the fetures i need are actually now in cheaper Logic Express 9.
So would it be possible to upgrade to Logic Express 9 from Logic Pro 7? or will it only upgrade from older versions of Logic Express?
Many thanks
Tom

Hi,
guess that's not possible. But i strongly recommend upgrading your Logic Pro 7 to Logic Studio. It's not that much more money, but i bet once you have the new Express version, you'll desperately miss some of the features you only have with Logic Pro/Studio.
I would recommend to call apple support or ask a dealer to find the correct upgrade version.

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)

IDRAC 6 Express - Update Firmware Question

Hello,
does anyone know if updating the iDRAC 6 Express firmware via the web gui causes any issues? I know it needs to reset itself. But I am wondering if it requires a full reboot or does the NIC reboot? Thanks.

I posted a more general question about this is this post (http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1087984-do-i-really-need-workgroup-agent-license-for-shoretel?.... ) , but unfortunately, it kind of went cold. So, I am reposting with a more condensed question. We have a group of employees that will be hot desking on their phones and will also be using Communicator. I want them to always be logged into a workgroup which I understand canbe done fromDirector. My question is,do the users that are logged in via Director stay logged in when they hot desk from phone to phone? Assuming that is the case, do I need workgroup access licenses if they are never going to be logged out of the workgroup?

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...

Hardware Update/Upgrade questions for Tecra S10-183

Hi,
TOSHIBA TECRA S10-183
Serial number: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Model Number: PTSB3E-0YR04KGR
BTO code: P8700/2G/160G/15.4WBT/DS2/L/M/B/W/3G
Preinstalled Software: Yes [R11382GR]
Date of purchase: 05/13/2011
I use above notebook mobile professionals use for CAD programming and also for Office applications.
2GB of RAM (standard), I can increase to 4GB Kingston (a tie) on purchase.
With the 160GB HDD I had an awful lot at the beginning of loss of speed.
So I had let a month later to a 120GB OCZ Vertex switch from second
And ran for almost 9 months without problems.
Now I have not so much free place in my SDD. So I would like to
"Intel SSD 520 Series 240GB 2.5 SATA III"
Jump leave.
My question would be, I would get this problem?
1) In theory, SATA3 work perfectly well that 240GB SSD right?
In manual, it is up to 120GB SATA2 SSD in it. However, the handbook of 2009. So the information is very old. And at that time were not yet 240GB free for end users SATA3 SSD hard drives.
2) Are there any Windows Professional / Ultimate / Business 64 for 7 as this laptop?
Original I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. I wanted my memory that is extended to 8GB. CAD program running on 64 bit operating system much better.
3) Is the graphics card soldered onto my laptop or can I let it replace it? So it's a plug-in card?
4) Can I move to a higher processor / CPU? To what size?
5) the Mobile UMTS and HSDPA / HSPAU / LTE is capable?
6) I still can not get on the Toshiba support site:
http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/SUPPORT_PORTAL/
find when entering the serial number or the model number is not my laptop?
About an answer I would be very happy.
Sorry for this bad English. My Main Language is German!!
So i hope somebody can help me by my questions.
With kind regards,
Etem Basoglu

Bought the Logic Express 9 upgrade. It's not upgrading

When I put in the disk, it performs as if it's installing a new copy instead of upgrading my existing verison 8.
The booklet says I would get a prompt asking me for the old serial number, but that never happened.
What am I doing wrong?

Give AppleCare a call and ask to speak to a Logic Pro Product Specialist.

Upgrade Logic Express 9 from Logic Audio 5 (Big Box)

Hi,
I am trying to install Logic Express 9 Upgrade (the version to upgrade from Logic Express 6, 7 or 8 or Logic Audio 5 or 6 / Big Box) on my Mac. The installer asks me for my old serial number to upgrade - when I plug in my XSKey which I got with the Big Box (Logic Audio 5) I get an error message that my XSKey is not eligible for the upgrade.
I already tried the XSKey updater, tried installing the latest XSKey driver and also installed Logic Audio 6 to check the authorization of my XSKey. It clearly states that my XSKey is authorized for Logic Audio 5 (not for 6 though).
When checking on a Windows-PC it states that it is authorized for both the Windows and Mac version of Logic Audio 5. Since I don't have an academic or other NFR-edition of Logic Audio 5 I should really be eligible for that upgrade, right?
Any suggestions on how to install the upgrade?
Thank you,
johannes.

I called Apple regarding this issue that Monday and after sorting out the usual pitfalls while upgrading (as I mentioned Academic/NFR-Versions) they asked me to mail in my XSKey because I should have been able to upgrade.
Today Apple sent me a replacement serial number for Logic Express 9 and everything is up and running now. Many thanks to Apple Professional Applications Support!
Best regards,
johannes.

Logic Express 9 Uprgrade: MAJOR MISTAKE!

Hey everyone,
I feel really dumb, but I accidentally bought the Logic Express 9 upgrade instead of Logic Express 9. I didn't realize this until I had opened it and tried to register the disc. I do not have and previous version of Logic, all I have is GarageBand. What is my best option at this point?
Thanks!

I made this mistake once with Final Cut (got the update and not the full program) and Apple took it back without any problems and I got a refund.
