I have one Logic Pro 7. XKey, can I install Logic Studio on new iMAC,
but a week to continue to work with my old computer and Logic Pro?

Hi
Should work OK:
You will may need the XS key in the new Mac when you do the install, but after that you should be OK to move the key back to the old Mac.
(Not so sure that this would be within the Licence Agreement though).

Keep getting message pop up "Error reading/writing file "com.apple.logic.pro.cs": Logical end-of-file reached during read operation," and "The Preferences are not loaded completely. Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?" Using Logic pro 8. ???

Logic froze while I was working on something so I forced quit. Now every time I open LOGIC a message pops up that says:
"Error reading/writing file
“com.apple.logic.pro.cs”:
Logical end-of-file reached during read operation."
The only button option is cancel so I press it and another message appears that says:
"The Preferences are not loaded completely.
Do not save them, as you would overwrite the Preferences file with incomplete data."
Then when i close logic a box appears saying:
"The Preferences are not loaded completely.
Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?"
There are 3 button options to press; ok, cancel or dont save.
I press "don’t save" cuz I don't want to ruin anything.
I found a discussion located here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9564253#9564253 that says if I delete the file "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" it will resolve the problem. If I do this will I loose or mess anything up at all, automation, saved channel strips customizations, saved effects, synth, or ultrabeat customizations etc? Or especially will I loose any work I've done? I have hundreds pieces of music files I've created. I'm scared to mess anything up with all the hours and months of work I've done. Is there anyway to fix this without loosing anything? I'm using Logic Pro 8.
Thank you

You can safely delete this file - its the preference file for control surface settings - you haven't said whether you're actually using a control surface or not, if so, you will have to set it up again. A new file will be created when you fire Logic up again, but of course it will contain default settings. If you have a complicated control surface setup, remember to keep a backup copy somewhere in case any future problems arise.
Other than that, you really have nothing to be scared about - hopefully your problem is as simple as that and there isn't an underlying problem (a corrupt hard drive, for example). You seem concerned about losing work, so I guess you want to think about backing that up on a regular basis too. If you're saving your projects to your system drive, do get an external one for this. And also check that you have plent of free space on your system drive - you need to keep about a quarter or third of it free for your OS and programs to run properly (some temporarily stored files can be quite large).

Logic Pro X - Record in time - Logic moves audio automatically out of time

I have a mac book pro
OSX Version 10.8.4
2.3 Ghz intel core i5 processor
8 GB memory 1333 MHz DDR3
Latest version of Logic Pro x
When I record an audio track using the mac book pros built in microphone, I sing or play an acoustic part in time (yes in time, I'm not dodgy time-wise!)
But when I play back the audio, Logic has shifted the audio file to be out of time by some way, from the click
- it also does this when I connect up my mbox 2
any ideas anyone?

Sounds like you are not monitoring through your soundcard or logic and the latency of your audiobox/soundcard is placing the recording too late. Try to reduce the buffer to 256 or 128 in your mbox mix display, and use software monitoring if you can.

Why do I have Logic Pro (9.1.3) and Logic Pro 9.0.0 in my app folder?

I have multiple versions of Logic Pro on my computer. Both seem to work the same. Plus I have 2 logic nodes. Should I delete one and which one? Any suggestions? Thanks

9.1.3 is the current version.
Delete any other versions you have and don't want.

Open sessions in Logic Pro by (default) instead of logic express

Hello , I just upgraded from logic express 7.2 to logic Pro 7.2 and my sessions are still opening in logic express as the default app. Is there any way to have them open in logic pro automatically?

thanx alot , that did it .Im glad I joined and
posted because I was about to delete the Logic
express app . but thanx again for the reply and
hospitality .
CB, Hi, I am thinking of doing the same upgrade as yourself. Now that you have the answer to your problem, is the 'transfer' of songs from Express to Pro 'seamless'. I.e. I take it that there are no problems transferring work done in Express to Pro? Like yourself, I am a relative newcomer to this forum etc

Recovering Deleted Logic Pro 8 Project files with .logic extension

I've been trying to recover a project file I accidentally deleted from Logic Pro 8 for a few days now. I'm using FileSalvage and all that comes up are the older Logic files with the .lso extension - some from as far back as 9 months ago. But no files with the .logic extension have appeared.
The file I'm looking for was dragged into my trash on November 2 from my media drive (internal HDD #2) and I have barely used that drive since because I don't want to fragment the deleted file.
I realize that the new .logic files are bundles and when I show package contents, there are 2 files that show up.
Any ideas on how I can recover this file?

I was waiting for some ******* to respond to my post with a lecturing. Thanks for not disappointing me Christian.
I back up all 4 of my internal drives several times a day with SuperDuper. I also back up off site with Carbonite.com It's saved me from hard drive failure once. This is the first time in over a decade that I cannot find a file that I suspect I deleted by accident. That's a pretty good track record. I'm doing the best that I can with what I have.
Now here's a strategy for you to keep you "on the clever side" Christian: If you don't have a solution to a problem posted on here, don't bother posting your judgmental and arrogant ******** without knowing the entire situation of the person who's asking for help.

Logic Pro won't open a Logic arrangement created in Logic Pro Educational

Anyone experiencing this unusual problem. I am running a fully registered copy of Logic Pro on my MacBookPro. My client is using Logic Pro Educational copy, which expires in a few weeks from now. I have tried to open his arrangement/song files on my system. My Logic Pro won't even recognise what kind of file it is. Anyone know why this is happening? Very, very annoying when this is my line of work and income. If it's a security issue, then it should be the other way around. He shouldn't be able to open my files, hence me paying £700 for my licience. Any advice from anyone would be most helpful. I know someone will probably say...'well get your client to buy a full copy of Logic Pro' ... But it still won't solve this problem in accessing this work. Sometimes Apple...arghhhh!

Thanks for your response. We actually tried it with another user who uses an educational copy. It worked straight away without any problems on his system. 'Corrupt file' is the error I'm getting though, so you're right there. The only thing I can think of is I'm using a MacBookPro and they are using the older Macs. Could it be a strange Intel problem? Very weird. Would love to get to the bottom of this. I am going to try loading it up on my friend's G5 to see if this is the case.
Thanks.
Nick.

Logic Pro from app store with Logic Express installed

Hi there!
Does anybody know what happens if I install Logic Pro from the Mac App Store while Logic Express is already installed? Will this drag me derectly into dependency **** or can the two coexist?
Because I really wouldn't want to wreck my working Logic Express Setup by installing Logic Pro...
Cheers
Volker

Hi
It should work fine, with the exception that opening projects via the Finder may open Express rather than Pro (easily fixed).

Can Logic Pro 9 open very old Logic files?

Hi,
I have Logic Express 9 but can not open my quite old Logic files. I don't have my old logic version anymore and that is very annoying.
I get the error message that I have to open the file with Logic 7.
Could it be that the pro version is able to open these files?
Thank you for your answers!

Hi Pancenter,
I'm in the same trouble as many, trying to open and convert a .lso (not that old, it's from Sept 2006...) and I don't get a hand on a previous Logic (before 7,2). I run Logic 9, and it won't open this as you know.
Would you help me converting it ?!
Thanks very much in advance,
Best

Logic Pro doesn't seem so logical...

I need to import a CD track into Logic so I can cut and edit it. I can't figure it out. I've managed to bring the audio track from my CD to itunes and then import it into logic, but I have no idea how in the world to manipulate, cut and past, etc.
The CD track is over an hour in length and when I import it to the arrangement, I see a small indicator in the track. There's no wave file imaged and I can't seem to copy and paste anything from it.
RTFM...I know. The problem I'm seeing here is that the manual was not very well written for quick reference. I dove into my software package to find the manual only to see a plug-in reference and no manual for Logic. Oh that's right, it's all online. What a pain. I need a book next to me to read while I work with Logic, This switching between windows is annoying, especially with a trackpad.
Anyway, when I double click the region, which only takes up one beat of the first measure of the song, I get a full image of the audio file which is the same little window I get when I double click on the file in the project manager (which I have yet to understand completely). In this, is a submenu which allows me to do various stuff. I have selected a given range in the audio clip, and I want to copy it to another region on audio track 2. I would logically just drag the selection to the arrangement window, but that doesn't work. If I click audio 2 on the arrangement window and paste, something happens, but nothing that I can figure to edit.
It's driving me mad. Sonar was so much more intuitive.

Or I'm just a complete idiot. There is a page in the RM that says that when an audio file is dragged and dropped into the arrangement, it creates a small pointer region but doesn't show the entire waveform of the audio. How am I supposed to edit the audio that I've imported if I cannot see the rest of the region which would normally have been there if I had recorded directly to the track?
Is there a way to expand the region's view to match the length of the audio file?

Do I have to have logic pro to get logic studio

Do I have to have logic pro in order to get logic studio? On amazon it says Logic Studio Upgrade from logic pro.

Hi,
I believe that Logic Studio has been released for both, upgrade and complete install. The upgrade is similar to a complete install but it will ask for the license number a Logic Pro that you already own. Otherwise, the complete edition is the one you should go for. There is of course a difference price wise but I still think it's a good deal considering the things you do with it.

Can I authorize Logic Pro on both my Laptop and Desktop Mac

I use my Macbook Pro for mobile recording using Logic Pro and I was wondering if I can authorize my Mac Pro desktop to use Logic Pro too? I purchased Logic Pro from the iTune store, so I don't have disks to install from. Using the Desktop at my home studio is much more convenient then using the laptop.

Yes, just log into the mac store and it should appear under the Purchases tab and you can download it again.

Logic Pro 9 Compressor and Soundtrack Pro

Hi,
I have recently installed Mackeeper in my iMac. After everything I opened Logic Pro and it couldn't open. So I thought it could be an issue from Mackeeper, I requested a help from them and they asked me to send my report and I sent to them. Later on I was recommended to uninstall the logic pro, so when I reinstalled the logic pro the following components Compressor and Soundtrack Pro were deselected, it was in gray and I couldn't find out how to install it. The other issue is that the installation was successfully completed without installing the Logic Studio Audio Contents 1,2,3 and Demo Content was also not installed
Is there anything wrong I did?
Help Please!
Many thanks in advance

Interesting; and who would have thought ! What does Logic and FCP have to do with each other being installed. I have FCP running (w./ all) and Logic Pro 9 and perhaps your Logic Studio 2 is not the same. I have no idea.
I'm hoping that I can export the LPro files into FCP ez along with exporting them to WAV or formats that a PC can use; if anyone has heard of problems with that. ?

Logic Pro X - The "Force Apple Lion 10.7 support" question - your opinion

Hi.
Now, that Apple has released Logic Pro X, we Pros have to learn that the minimum system requirement is set to OS X 10.8.4. In my book this is an asolute no go, with no reason other to impose Apples App-store power onto users to buy new hardware. So the questions for me are:
1. Why is the minimum requirement not 10.7 ? There are a lot of MacPros and other out there capable of only 10.7, yet still capable machines for production (remember, Final Cut Pro X runs fine on the first gen MacPros…)
2. I do not swallow it that the arguemnt might be that feature xyz didn't work out in 10.7. Let's make it clear, Logic Pro X should have been Logic 9 really, but Apple did not do their homework. Just like Avid released Protools 11, which should have been Protools 9 already. At least, Protools 11 runs fine on first Gen MacPros with 10.7.
3. I believe - yet can't proove - that the installer just looks for the installed system. Yet the core code might run just fine. Why is there no Trial download as with FCPX ?
What is your opinion ? Is it worth the effort to generate pressure to reduce minimum system requirement to 10.7 ?
PS.: Stay calm and relaxed
Regards

I'm on an original Mac Pro with an HD 5770 and 12 GB of RAM, and 4 x 1TB drives running FCPX with zero problems.
I also own a MacBook Pro i7 running 10.8.4
After using Logic since the eMagic days I will now have to investigate shifting to another DAW simply in order to be able to run the same software on my tower (studio machine) and laptop (live recording). There's thankfully no great rush as Logic 9 is no less capable today than it was yesterday, but I think today is a very sad day even so.
Things I believe:
Apple could, had they chosen, have released a Lion compatable version of Logic Pro X. If they can do it for FCPX, they can do it for Logic Pro X
Apple could, had they chosen, have released a version of Mountain Lion compatible with EFI 32 based Mac Pro's - if hackers can do it then of course Apple could. Had they bothered to do this, then right now they'd have something to really boast about.
Apple have an ethical and environmental obligation to do what they can to support older machines, so long as doing so does not cripple current machines or future development. Doing so might take a bit of ingenuity and maybe even some style and panache. I thought that was what Apple was about - and I think it used to be, but clearly things have changed.
People are running Mountain Lion on machines like mine. Unsupported of course. But its still possible.
That Apple chose not to do these things shows quite clearly what they think of their professional customers - and by professional I do not mean "rich" - I mean people for whom a computer is a creative tool which needs to be stable, reliable and capable - and just work when you switch it on and get ready for a productive day.
I have to wonder how many other professional musicians (who let's face it really don't NEED screamingly fast machines - not compared to the video world anyways) are going to be feeling equally sad and let down over the next few days as word of this spreads.
Just some thoughts

Can't choose to install Logic Pro

Help !!! I've purchased a second hand Logic Studio 8 but can't install it...
I have the complete original package with all content / serial number etc. but
Installer fades out possibility to choose most of the programs except Mainstage...
What problem could it be? I've tried to install, reinstall, remove all logic content I could find and reinstall again and even used timemachine to go back to how my computer looked like when I bought it...

Not hidden per se, but not easy to uninstall as it writes files to various locations and in some folders that one shouldn't mess around with unless they really know what they doing.
First thing I would do is confirm you are happy your time machine backups are up to date in case anything goes wrong (which it seems is the case already).
Then try this out: Logic Pro Help :: View topic - Uninstalling Logic Studio
As they say
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
(There is very little risk, but you are playing with files at a system level, and no-one likes to take responsibility for damaging anothers system )
Once you've got that uninstalled, you should be good to go.
And FYI - Logic Studio 9 Upgrade is 2/5ths of the price of the full version
