Logic Pro 10 2011 or 2012?

This is more of a what features can we expect to be added to the software. I'm guessing that Logic Pro 10 will hit the market late 2011 early 2012. My money is on late 2011. I think the GUI will be reworked and what we will see will be a more streamlined interface. Logics current interface isn't bad but it's a little cluttered. That's my opinion but there is always room for improvement. One of the biggest things to look forward to is a new instrument and effect plug-ins. Hopefully they keep and rework some of them and add totally new ones. I would like to see a updated ultrabeat with integrated sampling feature, and a wave from display. Please make sampling easier and more intuitive. This maybe asking a bit much but I would like to see a reason 6 esque mixer. I think that is s cool that Propellerhead modeled the mixer after a ssl9000! Although that will most likely never happen it is a nice thought to dwell on. The effects could use updated interfaces. I would like to see more options in the Amps and Pedals, specifically an assortment of mics. RMC would be ******* phenomenal OMG? that would make my mediocre KRK G2 RP8s sound like Genelec 8050's lol just kidding but it can't hurt. I don't know I could dream up features all day long but I'm curious to see what everybody else thinks they will improve, screw up?

What is the difference between MacBook pro 2011 and 2012

What is the difference between MacBook pro 2011 and 2012

understanding that at the time of the question, there has not been any Macbook Pro 2012, now it is later and there is.
The difference is:
-CPU being used (2011 models: Sandy Bridge, 2012 models: Ivy Bridge)
-Graphics (2011: intel 3000 + on 15"/17" ATI, 2012: intel 4000 + on 5"/17" nvidia Geforce 650M)
-USB (2011: USB2.0 only, 2012: USB3.0)
-Bluetooth (2011. 2.1 + EDR, 2012: 4.0)
Ivy Bridge CPUs are smaller and are a little bit more energy-efficient.
Other than that, currently the devices are not much different in respect to performance (Apple's graphics driver performance is known to increase during upgrades, though, so the performance gap may widen up)

New Mac Mini or iMac (late 2012) for Logic Pro?

Between these two specifically, which would be better for Logic Pro, and why?
The new Mac Mini (mid-tier) has a 2.3gHz i7, and the low-end iMac which has a 2.7GHz i5. Both are quad-core. The i5 is faster in clock-speed, but the Mini sports the i7, which has hyperthreading.
Can anybody offer any insight on which of these two computers would be better for Logic?

While this is not quite the answer you be looking for...
The 2011 Mac Mini Server, is in many ways the better bet for use with Logic because...
It has a 2.0Ghz i7... so slightly slower than the 2012 models..but it is the i7 version with 8 Cores.. so it still flies..
It comes with 2 x 500GB 7200rpm Hard Drives built in (Compared to 5400rpm Drives in the 2012 model)
Memory easily upgraded to 16GB for about $90 via Amazon..
..and yoi get a free copy of OS X Server, if should wish to use it at some point in the future... (The MMS comes with the Standard OS X installed and you have to run the add on server program to install OS X server so if you don't need the server stuff, don't run the Server installation software and you'll be running standard OS X as normal)
USB2 instead of USB3 is about the only other important difference that matters for AudioExt Drive use but using the FW800 and Thunderbolt ports, via Tbolt to FW adaptors on the 2011 MMS removes the need for USB3 I find..
Othert than that the 2011 and 2012 models are pretty much the same...
But.. the real kicker is that Apple are currently selling refurbished ones (with full warranty) at $759..... down from $999 originally...so they are quite the bargain..
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC936LL/A/refurbished-mac-mini-with-lion-serve r-20ghz-quad-core-intel-core-i7
I bought two of these originally and have never regretted it.. So much so that i just picked up another as a spare...
Got to be worth consideration... and at that price.. You could buy two... and use Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 to sync them together..
A Basic Guide to VEP5 and Logic info that i wrote, can be found here...
http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=78956http://www.logicprohe lp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=78956
...add a screen and still save money conpared to buying a mid level iMac.... and you would be getting one **** of a punchy system for your buck.
Other than that suggestion..
In regards to the original question... Always go for the i7 models as hyperthreading adds 4 more (virtual) cores and that can really make a difference in performance compared to the 4 cores of an i5...

2012 MacBook Air running Photoshop and Logic Pro

Looking to buy a laptop. The most I do with my current iMac is record music using logic pro, edit video in iMovie and edit photos in photoshop.
I'm planning on travelling for a decent length of time and would like to continue to do this on a laptop.
The weight and SSD of the macbook air are really appealing to me. I'm wondering if it will be able to perform the above tasks? I read some reviews of people using photoshop on a 2011 macbook air with no issues, and from what I understand, the cheapest 2012 macbook air 13' is faster then the ultimate macbook air of 2011?
So I'm considering purchasing a 2012 MacBook air 13' with the 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 and upgrading the RAM from 4gb to 8gb.
Will this be able to meet my needs? I say I will be editing photos and recording music with it, but I'm still really amateur and I'm sure my needs are also.

Thanks for the reply DWB,
USB should be fine as far as I can see. Is there a firewire adaptor just in case?
I was planning on keeping an external drive, and if I wanted to edit any substantial amount of footage, transfer it from the external drive to the MBA hardrive then just edit it from there.
The main thing I'm wondering about is wheter or not the applications photoshop CS6, imovie (maybe even final cut pro?) and logic pro will run smoothly on a 2012 13-inch 1.8GHv i5 macbook air with 8gb ram.

Wha wha pedal work well with GarageBand but don't want to work with logic pro 9.1.8 on my MBPro end 2011

Install on MacBook Pro end of 2011 with logic Pro 9.1.8 and Apogee GIO interface guitar
The wha wha pedal work well with GarageBand but not working with Logic Pro
Only the red light turning on and off at the screnn of the MBPro and on my Apogee GIO (Guitar Interface Midi) switch button but the effect wha wha won't work.
HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY ENGLISH

Pancenter...
Yes... but I have come across some setups that came with a native SL (and even one Lion!) installation.. that somehow had a corrupted or older Prokit installed for some unknown reason... and given it's a quick fix to try.. I thought I'd mention it..
I frankly don't think it is entirely a Prokit issue itself, but it wouldn't do any harm to try and install v7 just in case it is part of the problem...
+1 on the UAD stuff....
Also, at the time it crashed... according to the logs...the OP was running Ableton Live at the same time, presumably rewired with Logic... so add all that together with UAD plugins... and that's quite a load on the system...
Finally in thread 32 there is a weird exception msg relating to the Trash2 plugin.. that I haven't seen before...
Thread 32:
0   libSystem.B.dylib
0x94c29afa mach_msg_trap + 10
1   libSystem.B.dylib
0x94c2a267 mach_msg + 68

That might be nothing... but as i said, I haven't seen that one before and given what else is going on.. it might be involved too... or nothing to do with that at all!

Mac Mini(2011). Problems running Logic Pro 9

I have a 2011 Mac Mini 2.3Ghz i5. I have upped the ram to 8gb. Whilst using Logic Pro 9 after laying down 5 MIDI tracks it crashes and I have to hard reset. It instantly crashes when recording audio. Any ideas?

If nobody answers here, you may want to post in the Logic Pro discussion here.

Mac mini mid 2011 and logic pro 9 in 64-bit?

Hi,
I have a mac mini mid 2011 with a 2.7HGz intel core i7 processor and 8 GB of RAM. I have been using Logic Pro 9 in 32-bit mode and tried switching to 64-bit mode. I unchecked the "open in 32-bit mode" in the "get inf" section, but logic still opens in 32-bit mode.
My question is: Can my computer run Logic Pro 9 in 64-bit mode???
Thankyou!

Hi there jdtay2,
It looks like your model of Mac Mini does have a 64-bit processor according to the article "How to tell if your Intel-based Mac has a 32-bit or 64-bit processor"
Processor Name
32- or 64-bit
Intel Core Solo
32 bit
Intel Core Duo
32 bit
Intel Core 2 Duo
64 bit
Intel Quad-Core Xeon

Dual-Core Intel Xeon

Quad-Core Intel Xeon

Core i3

Core i5

Core i7

As far as opening Logic Pro in 64-bit mode, you will first want to make sure that you have the most updated version, as 64-bit support was added in the v9.1 update. The article below has more information about Logic Pro and 64-bit mode.

Logic pro 9 additional content won't install and iMac 27" late 2012 won't start in Safe Mode

Hi,
I have bought Logic Pro 9 and have encountered problems installing the Additional Content pack. I am using late 2012 iMac 27" (with fusion 3TB drive) and OS X Mavericks (10.9.1).
For some reason the Additional Content pack does not install when downloaded from Logic Pro menu and it does not install either when using the .dmg file. I noticed that many users are facing the same problem, but they have resolved the issue installing the Additional Content in Safe Mode. However, my iMac does not boot in Safe Mode (other users are encountering this annoying problem and it remains unresolved by Apple, see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5485131?start=0&tstart=0).
This is extremely frustating, because I am using my iMac for my work and therefore it is impossible to backup my data reinstall the OS X. Additionally, I am using the computer for my music projects and I am completely stuck, because I cannot use insrument patches that I need.
Does anyone have solution for this?

Install on my Core2Duo 17" MacBook Pro went flawlessly, but install on my 8 Core Mac Pro suffered this problem. Many thanks for the solution Don, it worked for me ;-)
I am trying hard to supress an ironic chuckle though, reading other posts in this thread .... suggesting that people should call Apple Tech Support and expressing incredulity that people weren't doing this as their first option.
Well I can say say that after several calls to Apple Tech Support, amounting to several hours on the phone, and well over an hour on the phone with them today, I was informed that this problem is a known bug, and that Apple are working on a solution. They couldn't tell me what the bug is, what machines are affected, or what else might trigger it, or when a bug release might be due.
Their troubleshooting steps basically involved various reboots, repairing disc permissions, reseting the user home directory via terminal, booting up in recovery mode (but not safe mode as per this solution) trashing various preferences files, and, as a final step, uninstalling and reinstalling from scratch.
Only when all that failed was I told that there is a known bug that Apple are working on.
I came here to see what the community was saying, as the Tech Support guy did say there was likely to be some info on the forums. Lo and behold, a solution is posted and it works.
Why are Apple's Tech Support (in the UK at least) not aware of this?
Oh well, at least I'm up and running on my Mac Pro now.
Thanks again Don,
Cheers,
Nigel

Mac mini 2014 or 2012 for logic pro x

Hello Guyzzzz
I am a beginner in Logic pro ( But not for a long time ) and was wondering if i should get a 2012 mac mini with a quad core I7 or if the new mac mini dual core I 7 should be powerful enough for logic ?
And for sure with 16Gb ram and Fusion drive 1 tb.
I want to take the new mac mini for the only reason that it can handle 4k ... so maybe in few month if apple released a 4K display I will be able to plug it
Thank you very much for your time and your help !
cheeeeers

thank you guys ! I had the chance to find a mac mini server I7 quad on the refurbished store !!!! waiting for it now alreay ordered the 16 gb ! And just checked the SSD prices from Crucial there are awesome haha !

Logic Pro slower on 2011 MBP than 2008 MacBook? Especially with NI Kontakt

Hi I just got a new MacBook Pro, late 2011 model, and I was really stoked but I've come to find Logic Pro runs slower in general than on my old MacBook (not pro, mid-2008 model). I know the MBP is a faster computer but I can't figure out why Logic is so slow and I was wondering if you guys could help me out with some optimization or answers. The main issue lies in Kontakt, which I was able to run far more instances of on my old macbook than my new MBP. I frequently get system overload despite having more cores on the CPU and the same memory.
Below are the differences:
2011 MBP (stock)
Logic Pro 9.1.6 64-bit
NI Kontakt 5 (4-8 instances)
NI Pro-53 (2-3 instances) through 32-bit AU bridge
NI Massive through 32-bit AU bridge
2008 MB (stock, except 4GB memory upgrade)
Logic Pro 9.1.0 (32-bit)
NI Kontakt 4 (8+ instances no problem)
NI Massive (2-6) instances

I'd also add that when running large native instrument sample libraries, they advise (in the start up guide) to install large sample libraries on a dedicated hard drive. If you have a FireWire 400/800 drive, it might be worth it to install kontakts huge library on there and see if that frees up some CPU. Trying to run logic / the plugin applications, the sample libraries and your recorded audio/logic files on one drive will severely hurt your CPU performance.
I know is doesn't really answer why you'd be faster/more stable on your old Mac, but might help you get the most out of your new machine.
Cheers!

Mac Mini (2011). Logic Pro 9 crashing

I have a 2011 Mac Mini 2.3Ghz i5. I have upped the ram to 8gb. Whilst using Logic Pro 9 after laying down 5 MIDI tracks it crashes and I have to hard reset. It instantly crashes when recording audio. Any ideas?

Personally, I'd go for the 2011 Mac Mini Server above anything else currently available...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC936LL/A/refurbished-mac-mini-with-lion-serve r-20ghz-quad-core-intel-core-i7
For about $750 (Refurbished) you get a Quad core 2.0Ghz i7 (8 cores inc virtuals) 2 x 7200rpm 500GB HDs... and plenty of external connectivity.... and it's so easy and cheap to upgrade them from 4GB to 16GB of internal RAM...via Amazon.
The Server part of OS X isn't active until you actually run the standalone Server application so, for all intent and purpose you can just use them as standard OS X Macs... if you don't run that Server app.
I have 4 of these and they work great with Logic... as well as being excellent slave computers for Logic when used with Vienna Ensemble Pro 5...

TS2565 I have just installed logic pro Version 9.1.1 to my new mac book , purchased in 2012 December. I am now being told my version of logic is not compatible with my version of OS X. Help!!!

I have just installed logic pro Version 9.1.1 to my new mac book , purchased in 2012 December. I am now being told my version of logic is not compatible with my version of OS X. Help!!! What can I do. I tried upgrding the logic pro software but this didn't help. It still won't open.
Many thanks

How did you install Logic onto your new Mac Book?
From the App store or from the DVD boxed set?
If it was downloaded from the App store then it should already be v9.1.8... and if it isn't you need to call Apple to help you sort this out.
If it was originally from the DVD boxed set then you must update using software updates....
If software updates cannot find Logic to update it then you either have...
Renamed the Logic Pro app in which case rename it back to Logic Pro
or
The Logic Pro App is not in the applications folder which is where it needs to be to be updated... so move it back there.

Logic Pro 9 and Access Virus TI2 on a MBP 2011

Hi,
I am struggling for over a month now to make my Access Virus TI2 and MBP 2011 to work together
but I keep getting a communication error in Logic Pro 9.1.5:
A communication error has occurred. The Virus TI does not respond to request messages or the transmitted data is corrupt.
I am having my setup as simple as it could be. The Access Virus TI2 is connected to the MBP through USB.
I have contacted Access Music, they claimed the error to be result of the USB communication between the two machines. They suggested me I use a usb hub. I bought one and now I am using it but there is no change. The error persists.
I was wondering if someone else is having the same setup and if he faces the same problem. If yes, how did you resolve it?
Thank you

Someone please help!! Can't install logic pro 9 on my new macbook pro 2012

Hi guys,
ive been scrolling the internet for days and actually can't find the solution to my next problem:
I bought the new macbook pro 15" running mac osx 10.7.4.
now i want to install logic 9 on this computer. Before this i've already been using logic on two computers, my Mac Pro and my older macbook pro (2008).
I installed logic pro 9 as in upgrade to Logic pro 8.
Ive tried installing logic pro 8 on the new laptop but it wont let me, says the new macbookpro doesnt support this program anymore.
Now ive tried installing logic 9 on the new macbook pro and it wont allow me. It wont accept my product liscence, I've tried it a hundred times, but it just wont let me.
Im not planning on using the older laptop anymore, should i uninstall logic from it? If so... how come i can't find the location of the liscence?
really hope hearing from u guys soon....
AJ

Sounds like the same issue as this to me: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18640824#18640824
The license says you can only install on one laptop and one desktop machine. Try uninstalling it from the old laptop and see if that fixes it.
