Logic Express 9 - can I buy to work on 1.67 GHz PowerPC G4, OS X v 10.4.11?

Hi and hope you are well, thank you for taking the time to read this post.
I have just discovered www.macprovideo.com and like what I see in Logic.
I'd like to buy Logic Express 9 but my specs (1.67 GHz PowerPC G4, OS X v 10.4.11) don't meet the tech. specs.
Does that necessarily cut me out from installing it or will I still be able to at least install it and get used to the program without loading up my CPU too much until I can afford to upgrade to an Intel Mac?
Thanx again for reading and I look forward to hearing from you.
Take care.
Sincerely,
Gareth

Plenty of people have installed L9 on Power PCs (theres a lot on this in the Logic Pro forum) - however it might be pushing a G4 a bit, you'd have to try it. You do need Leopard for L9 though - L8 runs fine on 10.4.

I need an ethernet cable connection to a non-wireless device that isn't near my current airport express. Can I buy an extra one to plug in near the non wireless device to receive the wireless data and put the signal out in ethernet form?

I need an ethernet cable connection to a non-wireless device that isn't near my current airport express. Can I buy an extra one to plug in near the non wireless device to receive the wireless data and put the signal out in ethernet form?

Yes, you can.
This is a special feature of the AirPort Express 802.11n. You will have to set it up "manually" to "enable Ethernet clients".
If your "main" AirPort Express is an 802.11n version, it is also possible to setup the second Express to "extend a wireless network" to provide additional wireless coverage in addtion to enabling the Ethernet port.
If you need the steps, post back to let us know what operating system you are using on the Mac or PC that will be used for the setup of the new AirPort Express.

Grouping the logical expressions in IF condition is not working

Hi Experts,
    My requirement is to group the logical expressions in IF condition like the below
I tried it like
IF ( &NAST-KSCHL& = 'ZBE0' OR &NAST-KSCHL& = 'ZBEC' ) AND ( &VBDKR-SPRAS& <> 'F' )
code...
ELSEIF
Code....
ELSE
   code...
ENDIF
But the system is showing the grouping in the IF condition is wrong. The problem is i am not supposed to break that AND condition and put it as another IF inside the first IF condition.
Pls provide your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
Srinivas

Hi,
Sometimes to play with sap script editor becomes very much difficult if you have scenario like as you mentioned..
Type this, and i hope it will work..
/:     IF &NAST-KSCHL& = 'ZBE0' OR &NAST-KSCHL& = 'ZBEC'
/:     IF &VBDKR-SPRAS& = 'F'
your code..
/:     ENDIF
/:     ELSEIF <LOGICAL EXP>
/:     IF &VBDKR-SPRAS& = 'F'
your code..
/:     ENDIF
/:     ENDIF
Now please try to use one more IF statement, give the logical expression same as in ELSEIF
Although it is time consuming but sill you can try..

Logic express 9 can't move samples in sample editor, logic express 9 can't move samples in sample editor

New at logic nine express. Looking at the sample editor where it says I should be able to select part of a sample in the sample editor and move it . Option click does give me the correct icon but can't move the selection. On Macbookpro and logic express 9.1.5, os x 10.5.8

I think I got confused.. and that the instructions were talking about moving the selection, not the underlying wave form... I think I get it now, thanks to me for answering myself

WHAT CAN I DO WITH MY DUAL 1.8 GHZ POWERPC G5 RUNNING MAC 0S X 10.4.11?

I am unable to update my firmware any further. what can i do to continue using this machine?

Hello,
As far as Internet goes...
TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
I'd avoid version 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/downloads/list
SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
The last version with Mac OS 10.4 and PPC support was SeaMonkey 2.0.14.
The last version seamonkey-for-ppc - 2.26 RELEASE - Mac OS X 10.5.x - PPC.
http://code.google.com/p/seamonkey-ppc/
PROJECT SITE:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/seamonkey-for-ppc
register for updates at the SourceForge seamonkey-for-ppc project page

Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.

Is Logic Express 7 left when Logic Express 8 is installed?

My question is: I have Logic Express 7 and I want to buy Logic Express 8 now. Nobody in Sweden can answer me if Logic Express 7 is still left in my computer, when after I have installed Logic Express 8. I want to work with old projects in LE 7, before I have learned the new LE 8 completely. Can someone tell how to do: One person in a Macstore have told me that I must change name on the folder of LE 7, but I am suspicious. Others tells me that LE 7 is left and I dont need to do anthing and others tell me that LE 7 disappears.
So what is the real truth? Anyone who really KNOWS and not only believe?
Regards Marie

I just upgraded to LE8 from 7 and I found LE7 still in my apps. l thought that to be strange but after you mentioned learning LE8 before losing LE7, I feel better. Now my next question is should LE7 still be in my apps after the I upgrade to LE8 cause i still se it and it opens up.

Opening a Logic Pro file in Logic Express

Hi my Nephew is thinking of buying Logic Express (He can't afford Logic Pro) so we can collaborate together on some toonz. Now if I send him a song I have created in Logic Pro will it be OK for him to open in Logic Express to work on that song?
What will have happened to all the parts that I have created on the instruments in Logic Pro which are not available in Logic Express? would it just be MIDI notes/ data? and vice versa.
Many Thanks

Hi there...
When i'm in the studio I work with LP7, but on the road (and its more often then not) I use LE7. This 12" powerbook 1.5gz w/ 1.25mb 80hd has the FULL LP7 install and the FULL LE7 install, as well as lots of Garageband loops, and most free, AUs.
In Express (with a LP7 install, on the same machine) the ONE thing that is poor, is opening a LP7 project that leverages PLUGS for LP7. But that's ok as Sculpture and all those other goodies are too cpu hungry for a single G4 (IMHO).
So you will not get those working, BUT, with a real LP7 install the EXSp24 can OPEN the instruments from the much much larger library of material inside LE7. It's kind of like Logic Express-PRO...sounds strange i know.
Oh, and don't forget that LE7 need to really be the 7.1.1 version as that one adds the HybredMorph inst from GB. Keep your bus counts down and no auxs in the LP7 sessions if you KNOW a LE7 users will pop them open
YMMV... but Good luck.

Will Logic Express and Logic Pro X co-exist on my Mac?

I use Logic Express. If I buy Logic Pro X can I have both versions on my Mac? I assume I'll eventually move to the new version, but just incase I have issues?
thanks.

Mate, it will run absolutely fine... But like with most DAW's it will be hosting other plugins, so alot depends on what you have running at once. But an i5 w/8gb well probably take more than what you will throw at it if you're only just starting out - It's when you get into serious sound and mastering where you need high end processing power.
However, saying that you can bounce down realtime pluging into audio files so that free's your CPU up. Plus, in my experience Logic is very efficient as it disables plugins etc. when they're not producing sound.
Have you already got an audio interface?
The only issue you will have is screen size on a 13" MBP, i did post a get around to give you more resolution on here a while back, i will try and find it for you - Just incase you need more res. The Logic X interface is a little 'bigger' so tends to cram on a 13".

Guitar Presets - Logic Express 7.2

Is there a place that I can get more guitar presets for logic express without having to buy a plugin prgram like Guitar Rig2. Also, I find that the presets in Garageband sound better than the presets in Logic. Is there something I'm missing?
Intel iMac 1.83 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1gb ram

I don't know of any places to download some, but I do have to agree that I like the sound of the Garageband AMP simulators better than Logic's.
You could check this forum for some.
http://logicprohelp.com/
Or a trick I like to do is to Bus a clean guitar signal to 3 Aux or Bus tracks, then put amp simulators on all three, then blend them all together to where I like it. I got the idea after reading an interview on how Adam Jones of TOOL made his guitar signal. 3 amps with an SM57, a Sennheiser 421, and another mic that they felt they needed, on each cabinet. Here's the article, it's really good for someone who likes producing and engineering.

Logic Express 7.2.1 + MacBook: sleep problem?

Here's the thing: I'm using Logic Express on my MacBook, and it works just fine (a few audio tracks and Logic softsynths). However, if I put the machine to sleep with Logic still open, the next time I wake the machine, there is no sound generated from Logic! The meters all show activity, but I can't hear anything...
I have tried restarting the Core audio driver within Logic, but this makes no difference; the only solution is to quit Logic and restart, at which point it all works fine again...
Anyone else found this problem? I'm not using any external devices, just built-in audio.
Thanks,

Hi Niili,
I have the same problem with a digi drivers too,
I didn't have a clue on how to to deal with iet,
you wanna laght?
When I use Protools Le, I can have lower buffers without problem,
not with logic!
It problably have to do with the drivers.
I'll get back to you, if I have better news.
I'll hope the you do the same if you discover a turn around it.
Or any mates out here!
:o)
Kindly regards,
Jorge

MIDI plays in GarageBand, but not Logic Express

hi, all...when i drag or import a MIDI file that i know works in GarageBand into Logic Express, i can see all the different tracks and notation, but when i press play, no sound comes out, tho the measure line is moving and the volume indicators are lighting up.
any clue what's going on?

This has already been discussed here numerous times. You should do a search on the forum and read the Logic for Garage Band Users pdf. When you open a midi file in Logic, the tracks are not assigned to virtual instruments like in GB, they're only midi tracks. If you want to hear sounds, you have assign them to an external sound module, to the QuickTime synth available in Logic or you have to create audio instruments tracks and move you midi data to those.

Logic Express & Tascam FW-1884

Hi all. Does anyone know why some of the key combinations described by Apple in the Logic Express Control Surfaces document do not work?
Specifically, Apple clearly states that SET + IN on the FW-1884 sets the IN point. This doesn't work.
Off the top of my head, CLR SOLO & ALL SAFE don't work either.
Why is that so? Which FW-1884 unit did they have when they wrote this?
Thanks.

I am also having similar issues. There are several buttons on the console that do not respond, even after repeated installation of the drivers and software. I am sorry I cannot help, but I wanted you to know that it's not just you! I have been limping by without some of the functionality that I gladly paid for, but I am not happy that it is crippled this way.
Just for the record, I cannot use the CLEAR SOLO/F4 function, I cannot set IN/OUT points with the 1884, nor can I adjust the CHANNEL EQ HIGH or HIGH-MID without holding the SHIFT key in conjuction with the LOW-MID or LOW EQ buttons. Is this what you are having issue with?

Logic Express 7.0.1 Update/Upgrade

Hello,
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

I don't see any problem with trying LE7 in a Leopard environment. Usually newer OS have backwards compatibility with older software. However, just in case, have all your valuable data backed up before upgrading. With all bases covered you can easily revert to the old setup if something goes wrong under Leopard. The only thing you can lose is time spent to re-install Tiger and LE7.
