Logic pro running on a mac mini

Hi, i was wondering if anyone here has used logic pro 9 or even logic pro 8 on their mac minis.
Is the mini able to handle the work load?
Are there any issues of freezing or heat problems with the processor on full load for hours at a time?
Just curious to see if its worth putting on a mini

The mini is not the ideal computer for running such an intensive app.
System requirements are here: http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/specs/
If you are purchasing LogicPro, then you'll be much happier with a more robust machine.

    how do I load an AU instrument (Garritan ARIA player) into Logic Pro X on a Mac Mini OSX 10.8.5 ?

    You install the player .component in the Library/Audio/Plug Ins/Components folder (though an installer probably does that for you) and install(er) the sample content wherever you want, then you start Logic (the new plug in will be validated during startup), open or create a project, create/use a software instrument track, instantiate the player in an Instrument slot, and in the player itself you choose the sound(s) you want to play and load those.

  • Running Logic Pro 9 32bit on Mac Mini with 4GB of RAM and still crashing

    Why is Logc crashing and giving me "Memory Low" errors all the time? I am running 4GB of Mem with Logic Pro 32bit. I currently have a 27 track project and it is crashing all the time. Yet the sample "Killers" project is 80+ tracks and a video and Logic has no problem, I don't get it? What am I doing that is sucking up so much memory and how do I fix it?

    Because your memory is low?
    I am running 4GB of Mem with Logic Pro 32bit.
    Try running Logic at 64 bit. I've noticed that even with 4 GB RAM it does make a difference with "memory low" projects.

    I get it. The number of tracks is not a very constant unit of measurement, it depends what kind of tracks they are, what plugins are loaded etcetera. You can have memory problems with 10+ sampler tracks, and room to spare with 100+ external MIDI tracks, to give a simple example.
    What am I doing that is sucking up so much memory and how do I fix it?
    How on earth would anybody but you know what you are doing?
    So what are you doing?

  • Will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?

    hi there guys,
    will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?
    I'm not sure if my machine is 64 bit - it is the current model base mac mini.
    Many thanks for any help you can offer !
    Simon

    SkiJumptoes is right. 4GB is not enough to comfortably run Logic X.
    Your Mac Mini will need DDR3 SODIMM RAM. That website seems incredibly steep though. I guess that's the price of finding it for you. You're better off going to any below:

  • Replacing a Mac Pro with a 2012 Mac mini?

    Has anyone replaced their Mac Pro with a 2012 Mac mini? If so, are you happy with your decision?

    I had the mini fitted with a SSD by Apple. Apple use the Samsung 830 and that is very capable and the price difference was not worth the effort of installing the SSD. Where installing memory is as easy as it could ever be replacing the hard disk is mind bendingly frustrating. You might think from videos such as this
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13wcKCYo_Xw
    that it is a simple procedure. What they dont tell you is that this man has freakishly tiny hands. In the real world the job reminds me of disassembling mechanical wrist watches. You need a variety of specialized tools or its just not happening. And there is no soothing music.
    Also the video above misses a critical step. The antenna grate will not fit back into position unless a hook like tool is used to go through a specific hole in the grate and pull up from under whilst applying a pressure in the necessary horizontal direction.
    So my advice is not to install your own HDD/SSD. The memory I used was from Crucial because Crucial is the retail side of Micron who provides Apple their memory for the mac minis.
    http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Apple-memory/Mac+mini/Mac+mini+%28Late+2012%29-up grades.html
    Having heard of memory failures in AHD from different manufacturers and read about the need for 3.35v DDR3L I ran what I got from Crucial through 6 cycles of the advanced AHD, taking about 10 hours. No failures.
    I am running Parallels and under various virtual machines running simultaneously I have intensive CADs, IDEs, and all the latest games on steam maxed out on a 30 inch display, without lag or any noticeable loading time at all. It is by far the fastest machine I have used. Very impressed.

  • I want to install XP Pro SP2 on a Mac Mini from a 2003 RIS server.

    I want to install XP Pro SP2 on a Mac Mini from a 2003 RIS server. Is this possiIble? How is it done?
    The mac has 10.5 which has bootcamp to enable Windows install. I have created a partition but the bootcamp utility asks for a CD. I want to install a RIS build. The Mac has a option for network boot but this seems to only work with Mac Server. I assume the network adapter is not PXE compatible and so a boot disk of some kind will be needed to kick this off?.

    Hallo, I installed the program as you said. Everything ok.

    Will Windows 7 Builder Pac run on my Mac mini?

    As long as it's 64-bit it should install OK, but you'd be in breach of the license agreement, a Windows System Builder Pack is licensed for system builders to include/install on a new system; a retailer is not supposed to sell System Builder Packs without the relevant hardware.

  • Can I run logic pro 8 on a mac in conjunction with a PC?

    Im usig logic pro 8 on Mac but I want to use sounds from a synth that only runs on a PC.
    Any suggestions what I can use to sync the programs together on both Pc and Mac?
    I thought I had heard about a Steinberg program that could do that..
    Thanks
    Message was edited by: Thomas Colontonio

    Steinberg makes a program called VST-Stack that allows up to 16 VST instruments loaded into a rack, each addressed by a separate MIDI channel. It ships with FX racks, compressors/reverbs...etc. Similar to Cubase without the sequencer part.
    If you have a PC with a MIDI interface VST-Stack would work.
    Caveat: It doesn't have MIDI clock sync so don't expect to get delay sync or other synth time based effects/sample&hold to sync to your tempo. As far as a basic synth rack, it works great. Don't know if it runs on Vista, it does run on XP.
    There may be similar free programs but i don't know of any offhand.

  • "system overload" in logic pro 8 on my Mac Pro with only three tracks

    I am running Logic Pro 8, on a 2.66 Quad Core Mac Pro w/ only 1GB of RAM. I have not had the money for the much needed ram upgrade, yet.
    The day before yesterday I opened a project I had opened many times, with only three tracks - two audio and a midi synth with only a few notes. These tracks are fairly well plugin-ed up, but this Mac Pro has always eaten them up, no problems. When I tried to play the project, I got system overloads every 2 seconds, rather precisely actually. My CPU usage reads low in logic and with iStat, but suddenly it peaks to 100% on my third core and I get the system overload.
    I had my buffer size at 128, so I switched it to 1024, it worked, and then I switched it back again and everything worked like it used to!
    But now I have to go through this slightly illogical little procedure everytime I open a project. I have read threads here about this subject before, back I cant seem to apply them / understand them in relation to my particular situation.
    any ideas?

    Join the club...wait for them to patch/update it.
    I've tried the various work arounds, sometimes they work temporarily, sometimes not at all.
    For the overloads the most reliable "work around" is to select each track, open the VI/FX modules associated with that track, then close them, go to the next track and repeat the process. OR, if you know all the modules (VI/FX) you're using, just open each one. This will "initialize" their existance BEFORE the audio engine hits them in playback.
    My guess is LP8 tries to reduce it's memory foot print and does NOT initialize all the VI/FX in a saved project that is just opened until it actually needs to use them -- a good idea one would think. However, when you do your playback and it hits the VI/FX for the first time (after you just opened your saved project) it appears the audio engine stalls waiting for the VI/FX to initialize the 1st time around and hence the overloads error. Obviously I can't prove this since I don't have access to the code, but I'm a developer and this would be my logical guess based on the evidence at hand.
    I can reproduce the problem consistently:
    1. Start LP8
    2. Open existing project with 3 tracks (staggered to start a different times) with different VI on each track
    3. Have 3 buses with a different FX on each bus
    4. Do nothing other than hit Play
    Overload when it hits start of 1st track VI, stop, restart, overloads when it hits start point of 2nd track VI, stop restart, overloads when it hits start point of 3rd track.
    Why wasn't something this obvious caught in testing? Good question.
    Rob.

  • FCP runs on Intel Mac Mini but Won't capture, HELP!

    Installed FCP 5.1 on Mac Mini Core Duo and it runs fine. It will capture fine too, but only to the main harddrive. If I plug in a firewire harddrive using a firewire hub it won't capture, and give a "No Video" error in the Log and Capture window. I've used both popwered and unpowered firewire hubs, and even tried daisy chaining the camcorder off the harddrive. Nothing has worked. And there is no space on the main harddrive to capture to.
    I know there is a lot of speculation about whether FCP would even run on a Mini, but it will. If only I could capture it would be a reat capturing station. Has anyone had success? Its pretty frustrating as I've used the Power PC Mac Mini for capturing in FCP 5.0 without any problems. Why would apple make the new Mini crapier?

    I would recommend you post your topic in the Final Cut Pro forum. However, since the Intel-based Mac mini is not supported, it may simply not work.

  • Transfer old MacBook Pro files to new Mac mini via wifi stuck

    I'm going through the setup of my new Mac mini.  The first thing it is having me do is transfer old data and applications via wifi from my MacBook Pro (running snow leopard) it is taking forever (over 24 hours now) and apparently stuck.  How do I stop and restart the transfer using Ethernet cable or FireWire to speed up the transfer process. This is a brand new mini running some version of mountain lion. Thanks!

    How are you transferring the files now?
    To me the easiest, most reliable, and generally fastest method is..
    With both computers powered down connect them back to back with a firewire cable
    Boot the old computer into Firewire Target Disk Mode by holding down the T key during boot
    Boot the new computer and the old computer should appear on the desktop as a firewire drive
    On the new computer launch Migration Assistant (found in /Applictions/Utilities)
    Follow MA's on screen prompts to transfer the data from another disk drive (the old computer running in Firewire Target Disk mde) This last step is best performed during the initial setup of the new computer when prompted early in the initial setup phase

  • Powering Logic Pro 8 with two Macs?

    Hi everyone. I was wondering if it's possible to share the power of two macs by using logic pro 8.? Meaning that the another one runs plugins and the other the program.. Is it possible, and if so, how can i do that.? I've got an imac about three years old, and g5 power pc, bout 7 years old.. Could someone help.? Thanks
    Dari

    To do that, you'll need gigabit ethernet on both boxes, so I'd check first to make sure both have it.
