Logic on intel mac ?

Hello
now that we know there will be Intel Macs on sale in less than a year i was wondering if an intel version of Logic was in the work.
I would immediatly buy an intel powerbook, but not if Logic isn't released at the same time.
Adobe said Photoshop for intel mac would be released in the end of 2006/ beginning of 2007 . what about Logic ?
thanks

Anything posted at this time would be considered rumour or speculation as there are no formal announcements from Apple. Remember that Apple said that there will be Intel based units.

How can I enable 16 outs from Logic with Intel Mac Pro?

Hi everyone,
I am a bit new to the digital output world! I have a Digi002 with Logic 7 and I have a Behringer A/D converter box to recieve digital output using optical cable. My question is this: I can only see 8 normal stereo outputs plus additional 9-10 output. Is there a command in Logic (as per the old "enable 16 in/outs in 5.5)to allow the greyed out extra outputs to work? or I am being very stupid and not enabling some command on the Mac?
I thank you all in advance for any kind responses!

I see you're using a Behringer A/D converter. I had one of these once. It made a lot of noise: crackling, pops etc. I know that was the cause as they only happened on those 8 tracks.
I may have had a lemon, but if you get similar problems, (and I hope you don't) I have changed to the Alesis AI3 and now have no problems, it might be worth you making a mental note.

No total recall after change from Windows Logic Platinum 5.5.1 to Intel Mac

Hi Logic-users,
up to now I was using Logic 5.5.1 on a Windows-PC. Some days ago I changed over to Intel Mac and Logic 7.2.3. When opening a 5.5.1-Song it is converted from ASIO to Core Audio. But then I got a problem with spectrasonics Stylus RMX which I use as a drum-plugin. It was a VST-plugin in Logic 5.5.1 and is now the new Intel-nac-Version (audio-unit-plugin) in Logic 7.2.3. The MIDI-data is in the Logic-tracks but the problem is: the program doesn't use the new Stylus version automatically - there is only the outcrossed name "Stylus" in the Logic-channel. I have to activate it by hand - and then all the drum-channels within Stylus are empty. That means: I have to re-edit all the Stylus-drumsounds and -settings by hand.
What can I do to get real total recall? Or is simply not possible because I had too much change altogether (new OSX-platform / new Logic-version / new plugin-version)?
Best regards,

Thomas,
I'm pretty sure you're out of luck on this one, I'm afraid. The differences are to much to be able to translate from one to the other.
We all went through it when we switched from Mac OS9 to OSX. Then we all had to go through it again when Logic went to Audio Units.
If it was a matter of VST in OSX, you could probably open it up in Logic with Fxpansions VST to AU wrapper, but I don't think you'll bee able to get it from the PC VST version to the Mac OSX VST version.
You'll have to try and recreate the RMX settings by hand. Tedious, I know, especially if you had done a lot of editing.
Another option would be to open the song on your PC, and bounce the various RMX parts to audio files, and re-import those into Logic 7. I know that's not the same, but if you were done with the programming aspect of that song, it could at least get you the sounds back.
If anyone has information to the contrary, I'd love to hear about it. But this is how I understand it to be...
Sorry.

Need help with Intel Mac mini... potential logic board failure...

Hey everyone! For the past couple years, I've been using an Intel Mac mini which I was able to afford before rough times hit for me. It has been a champ for a long time, until recently. In the past week, the clock would lose time ever so often, and last week, whenever I'd try to power it up in the morning (as I shut it down every night), it wouldn't start up most times (meaning, you hit the power, nothing... no LED, no fan, nothing on screen, nada). After a while, I would somehow manage to get it to start. I assumed at this point, the lithium battery (coin type CR2032, not the traditional 1/2 AA purple battery) was shot. Since I'm in the middle of a job transition, I was waiting until I had time to put in a new battery, which I was planning to do this weekend. Then Wednesday happened...
I go to start it, nothing... A week before this, I started losing time and sometimes it would not boot. I figured eventually I would be able to start it since I was able to sometimes get it to start after a half hour or more. That didn't happen. So I decided to go ahead and swap in the new battery. I do that, power it up, nothing. I reset the SMC (same as PMU on the PPC Macs), to no avail. I reseated the RAM, and did everything I could think of, but it's deader than Elvis. I also had took the power supply to a guy who had a voltimeter. He said voltage was getting to all pins.
I went back and read some of the archives on this board. Someone mentioned something about a repair exception. It mentioned that sometimes if you call AppleCare (even if you don't have it) and ask for a repair exception, sometimes they'll agree to have the logic board replaced due to it being a documented problem. How true is this and who should I contact?
Can anyone suggest anything here? If I can't revive the mini, I may have to drag my iMac back out and try to set it up to run OS X. I can't no where near afford another computer at this point. I'm praying the mini can be fixed. I would appreciate any and all suggestions!
Thanks in advance!
Tommy

It does sound like the logic board has gone bad. However, there are no current repair extension programs open on the Mac Minis.
This page lists the open extensions:
http://www.apple.com/support/exchange_repair/
So that's not an option. I assume that the Mini doesn't have AppleCare (whoops.), so I would not count on Apple covering it, but it's always worth a shot. You can call AppleCare (1-800-275-2273) or visit your local Apple Store

Getting a new Intel Mac, Logic question

I currently run Logic Studio on my dual G4, which is finally starting to die on me. I am going to be getting one of the quad Mac Pros soon, and I wanted to make sure that my current Logic Studio will install on it. In other words, does the move to 10.5 and the intel mac mean I need a different version of the Studio disks, or will my current ones install and run without a problem?

Your Logic Studio disks (ie Logic Pro 8) will install fine on your new Mac Pro.
It is a Universal Binary installer which means it will look at you hardware and install the version appropriate for your chipset.

? migrating from Logic 8 on Mac G5 to Logic 9.1 Mountain Lion on new Intel Mac

I'm migrating from a non-Intel Mac G5 PPC with retail Logic Pro 7 installed and also the upgrade to Logic 8.
What is the best way to install Logic on my newly acquired July 2011 Quad-Core Mac Mini Server ( MMS ) ?
I have the original install disks for Logic Pro 7 retail and also the upgrade disks for Logic Studio 8 Upgrade Box retail.
Can I install Logic Pro 7 first onto the MMS and then install the Logic 8 disk and then install the Box set Logic Studio 9 upgrade ?

An important piece of information is required.
What version of OSX is on the 2011 Mac-Mini?
If it's Snow Leopard you're probably ok, if any version of Lion or ML is installed you're in for some work.

Back dating to Logic 7.0 to open OLD Logic 4.8 movie score on an Intel Mac?

Hi guys
I've recently purchased a copy of Logic 7.1 off ebay in order to open and re-mix some old movie scores I produced using Logic 4.8 in the late 90's on a PowerMac 9600. The copy I bought came with the original L7 Dongle. However, I now realise that I can't run Logic 7 on my MacBook or MacPro as Logic didn't work with Intel Macs until 7.2.
The Apple Software Update site only updates to 7.1 ...... and there is no access to a Logic 7.2 from there (just 7.2.1 which says "please upgrade to 7.2 first")
Does anyone have any experince of Logic 7? I skipped versions and went to 8 from 4.8 using TDM in the intervening years!
Many thanks for any solution

But that's an emulated mode running under Rosetta.
It will fall over at the slightest sign of stress.

Logic Pro 8 PPC Songfiles on Intel Macs?

Dear fellow board members,
did anyone experiance problems with a Logic 8 Song file, that was created and saved with Logic 8 on a PPC-Mac, and which has then been opened on Logic 8 on an Intel-Mac? Would I be save to create my Logic 8 Autoload Song (With Plug-Ins, Instruments, Busses, Aux', etc.) on my G5 PPC now, and later import it to a MacPro, when I would switch to an Intel MacPro?
I would be happy if you want to share your ideas or experiances!
Best,
Vic

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!

Trying to load pre-2006 lso files into Logic 8 on my new intel Mac Pro

I'm trying to load pre-2006 lso files into Logic 8 on my new intel Mac Pro, but they crash the app every time. files saved 2006 and later load OK. Anybody shed any light on this or know of a fix (other than the laborious work-around of re-saving all early lso's in logic 8 on the PPC and physically moving them via a portable drive to the new machine)?
(BTW, those files also crash the Logic 7 installed on the intel Mac.)

Upon further work with my migration, I find I was incorrect in the time frame assertion of these failed files: apparently, the creation/modification dates have nothing to do with it and the reality is that some files fail at random, while others load just fine. right now it looks to be about 50/50 Beats me why this is.
Anyway, for those interested, I've discovered a very helpful key to the quick processing of file data for a plethora of files (i. e. re-saving the "bad" lso files as Logic 8 projects on the older CPU and moving them over to my new machine), and that is the 'control key/launch' of the app. I hadn't realized that Apple had added this feature to Logic to enable easier work on multiple song files when one does not require the audio.
For those who don't know about it, the 'control key/launch' provides an option to disable the core audio at app start-up, thus allowing files to load instantly without loading the plug-in library files associated with tracks - great for copying MIDI data between song files, or in this case, re-saving a batch.
Still puzzled, though, as to why so many older lso files crash Logic when they attempt to load on my new CPU.

Will non-universal-binary Logic+plugins run on an Intel Mac?

Hi,
this may sound like a dumb question, but I haven't found a straightforward answer on this question yet: will my Logic 7.1 (not Universal Binary) install on an Intel-Mac?? Our local Mac store expected that Rosatta will take care of everything, and that only performance will suffer a bit.
That would mean that all non-universal-binary plugins would run, too??!!
Just curious...
Thanks!
Regards,
Jaap
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9) Logic Express

Hi Jaap,
In a word, nope!
It seems you're more informed than your local dealer, :o)
Rosetta will not handle the plug-ins & third party (AU) need the (U B) upgrades. You need the 7.2 (U. Binary) to run logic on the new Intel machines.

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?

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 !

Logic 7.1 on intel mac

i have got logic express 7.1 on a intel mac, i believe i need to have 7.2, where do i find this?

thanks, seems a long winded road to go, do you really have to send your disc off to get the update, they have a crossgrade fulfillment in the shop for £19.95. which you can buy it now, is that the same thing? will they just send you a disc?
