Logic Studio on a MacBookPro

I really need a portable DAW. Would I be able to use Logic Studio on a MacBook Pro??
Neil

When you guy installed Logic Studio on your MBP did it take a very long time to install all the disc.... I started on it at the end of the night and had to go to bed and would wake up in the middle of the night and change disc due to it saying it would take 7 hours... and then I woke up this morning to look at disc 3 and it said 11 hours left... I forced quit the installer and want to rethink maybe what I really need to install... I don't believe I'm going to need soundtrack pro content so should just leave it out.... What do you guys think should I go in and delete all the files before reinstalling or just start reinstalling and let it write over anything..... Thanks you so much.. I just got the MBP and have been installing all my software without verifying permissions or anything like that ... So I think that could've been part of the cause.....

  • I am buying a new macbookpro which comes with Lion.  Lion has Quicktime X.  Logic Studio comes with Quicktime Pro 7.  Do I have to download Quicktime 7, or will Logic Studio work fine with the Quicktime X player?  Will there be a Quicktime Pro X soon?

    your new lion-machine should have quicktime 7, too. if it doesn't, and if it doesn't show up after you migrated your stuff from you old machine you can always reinstall it from the logic dvd's, it's part of logic. my recommendation is to always use quicktime 7, since it's got many features that are absent in quicktime x. quicktime x is nothing but a polished video player. in quicktime 7 (pro, comes with logic) you can even do edits and paste your music onto video files. i use it all the time, especially since logic 64bit doesn't export to video anymore.

  • Mac Book Pro going to keep up with Logic Studio

    I am looking at purchasing a mac book pro 17" and would like to know if it is sufficient for Logic Studio use or if I should budget for a Pro Mac tower configuration.

    Simon, I think you should fess up that the comparison here is made gainst a G5 running ProToolsLE, which is the same as filling up a Toyota Corolla's boot (trunk, for those in the other world), with concrete and driving it up the biggest hill you can find... with the air conditioner on.
    I have Logic running on a G5 2x2 and a MacbookPro 2.2. Both are comparable with the same sessions, though the screen redraws on the MBPro are a fair bit snappier. The video card would adequately account for that, as the G5's card is 64meg and the MBPro is 128meg and a whole lot newer.. I believe Simons is actually 256meg.
    The video performance doesn't effect audio performance at all.

  • I can't update to Logic Studio 9

    I just bought a MacBookPro, I try to install Logic and it tells me that power PC applications are not supportrd.
    Ironically I bought an upgrade to Logic Studio just one year ago and I can't use both of them. Any suggestions?

    Hi
    Which version of Logic Studio and 'upgrade' are we talking about here (the one with Logic 8, or the one with Logic 9)?
    The only problem with the original (Logic 8) Studio on Lion is that the Installer will not run (PPC application). Logic 8.0.2 itself runs fine on Lion.
    If the OP has a Logic 9 Studio upgrade, all that is required is to install the upgrade disks and to enter the original and upgrade serials. Software updates may well be required after installation.

  • Kernel Panic Snow Leopard 10.6.4 + Logic Studio 9.1.1+ Motu firewire driver

    Strange Kernel Panics are happening to my MacbookPRo early'08
    I've just installed snow leopard,updated it to 10.6.4

    What can it be?
    Thanks a lot,

    The info is linked above. I agree that that info should be on the download page, but not having that info there doesn't mean the drivers aren't 64 bit.
    http://www.motu.com/techsupport/technotes/64-bit-mac-compatibility
    Hardware
    When using the 64-bit kernel in Mac OS X v10.6 and later, 64-bit hardware drivers must be used. MOTU FireWire/USB2 audio interfaces, PCI-424 audio interfaces, and USB MIDI interfaces can be used with the 32- or 64-bit kernel. *The minimum driver versions required for use with the 64-bit kernel are:*
    *FireWire/USB2 Audio 1.5 (37320)*
    PCI-424 Audio 1.5 (38352)
    USB MIDI 1.5 (37320)
    The current version available for download (after you log in) is 1.5.38352, so according to MOTU it is a 64 bit driver and runs on the 64 bit kernel.
    Download here, you may need to log in. Forget about the two pages you linked to, I'm not sure how you found them, but they are old and are no longer relevant. http://www.motu.com/download/downloadmatching_downloads.html?platform_id=2&productid=14
    The link to the download itself is here, again this link may not work if you don't log in first.
    http://s3.amazonaws.com/motu/downloads/firewire/MOTUAudioInstaller-1.5.38352.zip
    I downloaded the latest and tested it on 64 bit kernel and it worked fine, so yes, they are in fact 64 bit drivers. If you are still skeptical, just download for yourself and boot into the 64 bit kernel, you'll see that they work fine.

  • 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

  • Installing logic studio 9, soundtrack pro and loops utility greyed out

    Hi,
    I'm trying to reinstal logic studio 9 and on the screen where you select and deselect the instal options soundtrack pro (and therefore compressor) are labelled as skip and greyed out not allowing select. The same is true for the apple loops utility. I'm pretty sure i removed all the files of previous instal. Anyone help?

    nevermind i found this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/10690183#10690183

  • Can't see Jam Pack Loops in Logic Studio Browser

    I have searched many other forums but can't find the same problem. Usually it relates to a separate disk for loops.
    I have Garageband and 4 Jam packs installed on my computer (Dual G5 latest OSX up to date). Jam pack 1, Rhythm Section, Symphony Orchestra and something else... anyway I purchased Logic Studio (8) and installed that. During installation I noticed that it detected that I already had some of the Jam Pack loops on my drive so they were "unchecked" automatically and therefore didn't install. Now when I look in the loop browser only the Jam Packs that Logic did install are viewable in my loop browser. Yet the other jam packs are indeed viewable in Garageband. All of this is installed on a single internal drive that is the system drive (500GB) by the way. So I dragged the Jam Pack folders to the logic loop browser and it appeared to be adding the loops, but they are still not visible there.
    Also, there is no dialogue box that appears to ask if I want to copy them or leave in current location as many other users have said it should ask. maybe that's because it's all on one drive though.
    The other concern is that I wonder if the software instruments that come with the jam packs would be installed/available in Logic? Surely not, if I am just adding the loops to the browser. How do I ensure that I have access to all of the loops and all of the software instruments?
    Can anyone please help with this, it would be much appreciated.

    Hi Jaffles,
    The best thing to doo is go to the various "Apple Loops Index" folders, remove all the index files that are in there and then reindex your loops by dragging them into the loop Browser. The index files will then be rebuilt.
    regards, Erik.

  • Manually Index Apple Loops in Logic Studio?

    I've been using Puremagnetik (www.puremagnetik.com) Apple loops for quite a while now and they all worked fine until I installed Logic Studio. Now the browser doesn't see them. Is there a way manually "force" index the Apple Loop Browser? I remember in Logic 7 there was a way to do this, but I don't see it here.

    yes, you can use these freely.

  • Logic Studio 8 on a G4 dual 1.25?

    I've noticed the minimum requirements for running the Logic Studio 8 bundle is a G4 1.25 with 1gig ram, but G5 or Intel processor, as well as 2gig or more of ram recommended. I'm currently running Logic Express 7.2 on a G4 dual 1.25 with 2gigs of ram in OSX 10.4.10. This machine is maxed out. I like LE 7, and was considering waiting for a price drop in pro 7 after 8 were to come out. But, with the price of the Studio 8, it seems better to go for the latest. I'm not ready to get a new machine just yet. Does anyone have any idea how Logic Pro would be on this G4 dual 1.25? I'm just wondering if the cpu could be not up to handling it. I wouldn't record more than 2 tracks at a time, and eventually be running approximately 10-20 track with various plug-ins during mixing, etc. My guess is it would depend on how many plug ins and tracks I actually use. Hmm.I thought about going with LE 8, I'm really only interested in Pro 8's plug ins (space designer, etc.) and the jam packs. LE 8 might have similar limitations on my machine as well. Any thoughts, help, feedback would be greatly appreciated. I may consider finding a soon to be discounted version of Logic Pro 7 if I might work better on my machine.

    Hey Paul,
    as you don't require too much, maybe that machine will undle a little bit more. :o)
    Space Designer's is heavy, if you don't abuse it, use it on the master instead of
    every channel strip track. Use the freeze buttons or even bounce and import the file to free
    the processor.
    In my advice go to 8 you'll have almost the same problems if you buy the pro 7 version,
    and it's a "silly" move to spend money on seven when you really want the bells and wistles
    of the eight version and a new machine with all the ram you can get!
    Peace,
    Jorge

  • How do I make sure my Logic Studio is legally registered to me?

    My partner and I are professional Musicians and I purchased my Logic Studio from a legit store online and have registered ity accordingly with Apple over the phone, so that I know its registered to me. My partner purchased his Logic Studio from someone on Craigslist, and I told him how important it is that he make sure to register his Logic in his name with the proper support at Apple. But when he called them to register it, they told hime he needed to register it online or pay for customer service in order to register it with them. Firstly, does that sound right? Why wouldn't Apple just register it to him while they had him on the phone, wanting to do that? I don't really see how registering a product to your name is the same as paying for technical support...? Secondly, we can't find anywhere online to register it? Where on earth do you go to register logic online?
    Anyone with some answers that could help with these questions would be greatly appreciated. I just want to be sure our butts are covered when we put stuff out in public domain, that its all made on software that is legally licensed to us. There were some horror stories in Music Business class in college, and neither of us want to be "THAT GUY", if you know what I mean...?
    Anyway, can anyone help shed some light on these issues for me please?
    Thank you

    Apple does not require registration of software online. It's sufficient to enter the serial number at first run. This assumes the seller provided the original purchase information including the box with the serial number.

  • How can A new Logic Studio (9.1.1) not be compatible with Lion?!

    ***! first Lion makes my 11 Rack's software inopperable, and now I finally got Logic Studio and it says I can't use Logic Pro because it's version 9.1.1. I was already having trouble, and after an our with apple phone support and a few more installing the software it says the install was a success, but then underneath it reads an error occurred and it failed. I never realized how confusing (and confused) Apple can be. Why have an app on a DAW called Compressor, yet having nothing to do with actual audio compressors, What the **** is it ?!! Is it a Logic Studio or a Logic Pro?!! The box only says Studio, what version depends on how knowledgible the salesperson is.There's no way to tell otherwise except by the price. So why then does the app say Logic Pro, which by the way, is the only app (apparently) outdated. All the other apps of the Logic Studio suite bundle have no problems being openend. But as if this isn't confusing enough, check this out:
           I barely had my brand spankin' new MacBook Pro (15') three months, and it never let me down, even when some supposed tech suggests I take it in for a look because of their personal lack of resourcefulness. In other words, if they can't figure it out then it must be my computer. This has happened to me atleast five times already on seperate occasions, and how many of those times was it actually necessary - count 'em - ZERO! It took me a few seconds to figure it out myself after hanging up, and this is my first computer. But I'm getting off course, let me reiterate:
          It says on page 11 of the installation manual "Important:Soundtrack Pro 3 and Compressor 3.5...will be deselected if Logic Studio installer detects Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier on your system" (due to incompatibility issues - what else is new). So my first mistake was calling Apple support, and incidentally, even though I payed extra for a three year support contract at the time of my purchasing my Mac, Logic Studio is only covered for 90 days (I wonder why). I called because of all the items checked for installation, Compressor was grayed out. Turns out that the apps in question don't get along with the iLife '11 Suite, WHAT!!! Avid (Pro Tools, Eleven Rack, etc.) and Apple is one thing. They're competitors, so I wouldn't be surprised the sudden incompatibiliy issues with Lion and 11 Rack was no accident (just like M-Audio's Axiom Pro, also owned by Avid, working best with Pro tools is niether a coincidence) but now I feel I'm giving their resourcefulness too much credit, because now I stand dumbfounded at how a flag-ship Apple product has discrepencies with another flag ship Apple product...wait, what? Did they forget when comprising the new Lion OS, that they were also a leader in Audio Software?
          Anyway, I was sent an email with these directions: 1. From the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
                                                                                    2. Open the Terminal application from the Utilities folder.
                                                                                     3. Enter the following case-sensative command exactly as it appears:
                                                                                        sudo pkgutil --forget con.apple.pkg.AppleintermediateCodec
                                                                                    4. Enter an administrative password when prompted.
                                                                                    5. Install compressor from the Logic Studio installer.
                                                                                     6. From the Apple menu choose Software Update.
                                                                                     7. Install any available updates.
        Anyway we never made it past #4. The prompt by the way (omitted in the diections) is a solid standing rectangle at the end, as opposed to an empty one, but we're just supposed to magically know this is the prompt. I start typing (after being told to press return - also omitted above) and no letters transpire. The tech then suggests we try it again, even though I followed his suggestion of copy & pasting. We did, same thing, so he then suggests he needs to view my computer, as if I was the one malfunctioning. But that was another issue altogether (which I care not to repeat), and eventually he just gave up and suggested I speak to a "higher-up" specialist, but not before he admitted there was something he overlooked and that he's sorry, this after wasting over an hour of my time, and also after - now get this - he suggested I take my machine in since it would be easier, yea, easier for him, how about the time & effort already wasted.
        This new tech says, that the password is not supposed to show when I type it in, What?! Now this is the real kicker, this time it did appear. So really all they were doing was creating even more unexplainable anomolies. We presumed it did the trick, even though "Compressor" was still grayed out in the list. He told me why, which I didn't care to understand, and as long as it says install next to it that I'll be ok. I then told him, this is exactly how it looked before I even made the call in the first place (hence why I said that was my first mistake), but he was right since Compressor well and present, however *** is up with Logic Pro! Please, anybody, save me from having to call Apple Support again (not that it helps) these are geeks not musicians.

    Yea, I know, I figured it out shortly after. I feel kinda silly now but it just seemed too easy after all the fuss with Apple support. Like I said, if they don't really know what their talking about they go off in all sorts of crazy directions. I wasn't even having Compressor issues like so many others do (told ya my computer never lets me down). Not sure what the lesson here was, Apple Care is usually pretty helpful (or atleast moreso than other tech supports), but next time I'm having trouble with anything remotely music related they will be the last ones I call.
         By the way, thanks for the reply anyway and reading my lenghty complaining. I really needed to blow off some steam after that needless ruckus.

  • Recovering Logic Studio Serial After Reformat?

    I just reformatted my macbook pro.  I did a clean wipe of the hard drive.  I went to reinstall logic studio and realized that I have lost the installing your software booklet that contains the serial number.  I have all the discs and other documentation, but not the one that I need.  I don't remember if I registered the software when I first installed it, but I have a feeling that I didn't.  I have looked at the information about getting a new serial number from apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1861), but I don't have the proof of purchase anymore either.  It seems like I might be out of luck.  Is there anyway to use some kind of software to recover the serial from before I reformatted the computer?  I know that you can see the serial in logic when you open it so maybe there is some way to recover the file that contains the serial?  I just reformatted yesterday and haven't installed much on the computer yet.  Any solutions that don't require expensive programs would be preferred because I don't have the money to spend on that right now (or on a new copy of logic if I can't recover the serial )

    No, you can only recover it from a backup. Copy the file /Library/Application Support/ProApps/ProAppsSystemID back on the computer. This will only work, if the computer is the same. You can't use it to transfer a license to a new computer.

  • I have an upgrade version of logic studio (9.1.1.) which I want to run on an imac with 10.7.4 osx Lion and after a seemingly successful install it's telling me that this version of logic studio isn't supported by my osx...Can someone help me with this?

    I also want to add that I've found the updates to logic pro 9.1.2 thru 9.1.7. and when I download them they tell me they are either not needed or don't seem to actually update anything.  Someone was saying that Logic Studio isn't a fan of Lion and I should install Snow Leopard, complete Logic updates and then re-install Lion.  PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
