Logic Pro, Logic Studio and Logic Express

Can someone explain the difference between Logic Pro, Logic Studio and Logic Express?

Hi,
I don't think your friend is right on this. When you install Logic X, only the most essential part will be downloaded. After that you open Logic X, and from within the program  you can download all the other content. Logic will look if you already have Logic 9 content on your harddisk, so it won't download files that are already present. So, after all is downloaded, all files are on your harddisk, just like Logic 9. By the way, Logic 9 will still be available after installing Logic X.
Whether you will experience crashes will be very hard to prodect, because these will be caused by unforeseen combinations of your computer, audio interfaces, maybe even other hardware, kernel extensions etcetera. If you wait for a couple of months, updates of Logic X will probably have less crashes. As said, on my computer it's just as solid as Logic 9.
Garittan will probably advise a fast harddisk to prevent complaints when people are pushing the plugin to the edge. I would expect that it's not a black/white story.
The AUMatrixreverb can be found in any audio plugin slot completely at the bottom: Audio Units > Apple > AUMatrixReverb.
About the Epiano: in Logic Express there is only the Garageband Epiano, I think. Logic Pro 9 had a great ePiano that they gave a new name and changed a bit in Logic X. Both very nice.
Yes, you may be right, not too many drums with brushes in Logic X, I think. Or does anybody else know where to look??
Kind regards,
Jaap

    What's the diff between  logic studio and lodic express 9? If i were to get either 1 of it, which Mac Pro shld i get? 13" or 15"

    Hi,
    Logic Studio: Logic Pro 8, Soundtrack Pro and MainStage.
    So yes, Logic Pro 8 is part of the 'Logic Studio' package, which also contains the two other apps.
    http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/
    Take a look at the Logic Pro 8/Logic Studio forum. There are mixed opinions on whether it is worth upgrading yet or not.
    Good Luck!

  • Exact differences between Studio and Express, thinking of downgrading.

    Hi - I have a brand new copy of Logic Studio 9. I think Logic itself is wonderful, and I'm interested in some of the other tools such as the Apple loop Utility and the contents of the Jam Packs etc. What I found thought is that maybe I should have bought the Express edition instead since the likes of SoundTrack Pro, WaveBurner, Compressor and all the distributed cluster management software is way over powered for what I want to do, and I'll probably rarely use them. Mainstage I'm divided on - it might be useful but I could equally do without it.
    So what I'd like to know is, is the Logic in the Express edition exactly the same as in Studio, and does Express include the Loop Utility and the Jam Packs? If I sell my copy of Studio and downgrade to Express then will I lose any of these things?

    You ask about the loops utility - you don't get that. You do get 1000 or so loops (as opposed to 20K with Studio), no 40gigs of Jampacks. Full install of Express is 8gigs.
    Editing and whatnot is the same, flex, varispeed, etc. Amp designer stuff is the same.
    Can't say all the diffs, but you don't get Sculpture, Space Designer, or Delay designer.
    Not sure about ES2, the Clavinet, maybe things like Match EQ, AdLimit, LinPhase EQ, vocoder. I think at least a couple of those are not in Express.

  • TIme Capsule 2TB and Airport Express Base Station

    Hi,
    just received a new mac book pro, time capsule and airport express. I already had a older imac (Early 2008).
    my goal is to connect everything in a wifi at the highest possible speed. The airport express servers also as a itunes connection to my stereo.
    I followed basic instruction, all is working except that I can't have the speed a 5GHz (I verify the speed by holding the alt key and clicking on the wireless icon in the menubar) I have n but at 2.4GHz.
    what are the correct settings for this. I noticed that if I do not have the possibility to set radio modus to n 5GHz only. the version of airport configuration program that came with the time capsule is 5.5 and the time capsule is on 7.5 the airport express on 7.4.2.
    thanks for helping on this.

    This looks like you held down the "option" key while you clicked on the Airport icon at the top of your screen.
    You were asking about different Radio Modes for the Time Capsule
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab located just below the row of icons
    Now you will see the wireless settings.
    Hold down the option key when you click on the Radio Mode selection box to see more choices.

  • Final Cut Pro 5 Studio Installation

    Is there a work around to install Final Cut Pro 5 Studio to another drive other than the Applications folder on the Start-up Disk? I have 2 LaCie 500 Gb hard drives available via Firewire 800.
    Between the operating system with iLife, Final Cut Pro 5 Studio, and Garage Band Rythem Pack, 60 Gb of this laptops 100 Gb hard drive is already used.
    And lastly, if not possible to load in another hard drive, is the content for each application (such as templates) where most of the space is being taken up? I see that when loading, I had the option to load these to a custom location.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You

    /Users/Shared contains all the templates and media for Motion (5.91 GB). /Library/Application Support/ contains folders for LiveType (10.93 GB), DVD Studio Pro (8.7 GB), and Sound Track Pro (315 MB).

  • 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.

  • Hello, good day, my question is, buy Logic Express, but then put logic pro 9 in the same price, I can not buy logic studio, and let me know if I buy now logic pro, I can buy separately after jams that bring logic studio. thanks

    José, if you buy and download Logic Pro in App Store now, the best option would be to buy an upgrade to Logic Studio. I don't think Jam Packs are available any more in Apple Store, besides it will be more expensive buying them one by one than upgrading to Studio.
    Español: José, si compras y bajas Logic Pro de App Store ahora, despues la mejor opción será comprar el upgrade a Logic Studio. No creo que estos dias fuera posible comprar Jam Packs de Apple Store, y además comprarlos uno por uno seria más caro que el upgrade a Studio.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 Apple Loops, Jam Packs and Logic express 8 installation?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    I've currently use Final Cut Studio 2 +Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2+ application with all included Apple Loops.
    I own several Jam Pack Apple Loops packages (with a less than impressive integration with Garage Band for older one).
    I purchased Logic Express 8 pro today.
    Is there more Apple Loops files included with Logic express 8 than with Soundtrack Pro 2?
    What is the best way to install Logic express 8 Apple Loops to avoid duplicate loops files?
    Thank You.
    Michel Boissonneault

    Well, the installation was very simple, no duplicate files and tight integration of GarageBand loops and JamPacks.

  • 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.

  • Comparison Matrix for Logic Express and Logic Pro?

    I have looked everywhere for a chart that compares the features between these two products and can't find one.
    I am thinking of moving up from Garageband, and leaning toward Logic Express right now.
    Is there a comparison matrix somewhere?
    Thanks,
    Kirk

    I don't think so, but you can go to their respective Specs in Apple web-site and make one yourself.
    Basically, LE is the same thing as Logic Pro, but with less instrument/effects plugins and less audio/instrument loops content. Also, Logic Studio package has additional tools like Mainstage/Soundtrack Pro, which you may not need.
    As a sequencer and 3rd party plugin host LE is as powerful as Logic Pro.

  • Difference between Logic Express and Pro? ro

    Is the actual logic part the exact same? Is it that with the Pro you get all the extras? (soundtrack pro, qmaster, logic node, compressor, main stage, wave burner, jam packs). Is that what makes it the "pro" version? Or does the actual Logic app offer more abilities? If so, I can't seem to see much a difference. thanks

    The app itself is indeed the same, but the included content and plug-ins are different.
    This Apple support document details all the differences:

  • Logic Studio (upgraded from express 7.2) on a laptop and tower??

    Hi. I had Logic Express 7.2 and bought and installed the upgrade to Logic Studio on my MacPro Tower.
    I am buying a MacBook Pro and would like to install Logic Studio on that, as well. I understand that the license for Logic Studio allows one tower and one laptop. Does that still apply in my case for the upgrade to Logic Studio? i.e., will I have to first install logic express 7.2 on the laptop then "upgrade" to Studio, or can i just install Studio on the macbook pro and run it on both machines? Hope that all made sense!!
    Thanks,
    Rob

    You don't have to install Logic Express on your MacbookPro. Simply install Logic Studio. After you type your Logic Studio upgrade serial number, Logic will ask you for your original Logic Express serial number

  • How to set output 1 and 2 and master in pro logic express when mixing

    what is the recommended procedure for setting the levels of output 1 and 2 fader and the master fain pro logic express when mixing? I'm used to just one master fader with my Mackie board.  Is there anything in the manual?

    Already found the answer myself.
    The entries have to be made in the sun-j2ee-ri.xml file.

  • 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".

  • Using Outboard Gear With M-Audio Fast Track Pro And Logic Express

    My Fast Track Pro has 2 insert jacks on the back where you can run a send and return to use outboard gear. The cable you use has 2 female 1/4" jacks (one is send and the other is return) that go to a 1/4" male jack that you plug into the back of the interface.
    My question is this:
    How can I get Logic Express to send a track through the outboard gear connected to my interface? On the track's output settings in Logic there are "Output 1+2", which run to my monitors I think, and "Output 3+4", which don't have anything plugged into them. There don't appear to be any other options for sending the track. How can I get Logic to recognize the Inserts jack on the Fast Track Pro? I'm running all the latest drivers if that means anything. Any help is much appreciated.

    Thanks for helping me on this. I'm still a bit confused on how to send the channel through the insert. The jacks on the back of my interface are "TRS Output 1+2" (my monitors are plugged into these outputs), a RCA "Output 1,2,3, and 4", an S/PDIF out and in, and then 2 TRS inserts jacks, marked 1 and 2. Each jack does it's own separate send and return which is why I had to buy the cable with the 2 female jacks on it.
    I've been able to use the I/O plugin and get the track to accept a signal from the insert on input 1 (I have a looping pedal running in the send chain and was able to get it to play a loop over top of the audio already recorded on the channel), but am unable to send the recorded track through the fx send. What would I need to set the output to to be able to do this? Thanks for your time.
