Logic Studio vs. Logic Express

Has Apple posted a chart comparing Logic Studio (or Logic 8) and Logic Express 8? I own Logic Express 7 and will have to make an upgrade choice. Of course, I want to step up to the big system but I'd like to see some kind feature-by-feature comparison (e.g., the Web site says that Logic 8 comes with 18,000 Apple Loops, Logic Express 8 with "thousands"; so would that be eighteen "thousands," or, I dunno, three?) before deciding to part with the extra $200, especially since Soundtrack Pro really does nothing that I need.
Yeah, I'm cheap. Deal with it. (->)
Cheers.

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 Express 7 Upgrade to Studio

Hi
I'm a Logic Express 7 that wants to upgrade to Logic Pro (currently Studio). I went to an Apple store today and the genius told me this upgrade, which lists on the web for 299 is no longer available because a new Logic Pro is coming out and upgrading from 7 Express wont be possible with this version.
Are you aware of this? What should I do? Wait for a new Logic Pro/Studio to come out and buy it from scratch? I would hate to pay full price when I have paid for the Express already... the upgrade to Logic Studio from Express is still available online but at the same time I wouldn't want to upgrade to a program which will become 'old' in a few weeks..
thanks
J

Garbage advice anyway: this is from the Apple store, today.

Although we'd all be happy to see a new Logic, I guess.

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.

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.

The synth pad sound Warm Pad has changed after upgrading from Logic Express 7 to Logic Studio

Hello!
I have composed a lot of songs over the years using Logic Express 7, and my favourite synth pad sound there was a sound called Warm Pad (from the EXS24 Sampler).
A half a year ago I upgraded to Logic Studio, mainly because I needed WaveBurner. Happily, all my songs sounded exactly the same after the upgrade, except from 1 sound: The synth pad sound Warm Pad. It still got the same name and location, but the sound was replaced with a very sharp and much more distinct sound (not warm at all, in my ears at least).
I have tried to replace it with different synth pad sounds from the EXS24 Sampler, and the one I find to come most close to the old Warm Pad from Logic Express, is a synth pad sound called Pad 1. Still, I don’t think it sound exactly the same.
So, in order to finish all my songs and make an album, I ask you for help:
1. Do you know how I can get EXACTLY the same sound as the old Warm Pad Logic Express, with my new Logic Studio?
2. Have you experienced the same with sounds, after upgrading from one Logic version to a newer one? And what have you done to find back to the old sounds?
I will be VERY thankful for help, because I am not a genius in the mysterious (but yet exiting) world of synthesizer synthesis.
Best regards,

I have the boxed version of logic studio.
When you install, if you pick the "ad hoc" installation you can add the logic7 patches to your existing patches.
I think running installation again you should be able to install just that.

Will Logic Studio AUs run in Logic Express 9

I have Logic Studio 8, with tons of additional AUs that I purchased. I am thinking of purchasing Logic Express 9, and was wondering if the AUs from Logic Studio will work in Logic Express 9.
Also, I hear, (but am not sure) that Logic Express doesn’t come with:
space and delay designer components or the Sculpture, EVB3 Tonewheel Organ, EVD6 Clavinet, and EVP88 Electric Piano synths
Since I have these programs listed above in Logic Studio, will they run in Logic Express if I have Logic Express installed on the same computer?
Thanks
Chaz

Hi
A few things to note:
Logic Express has been discontinued, so unless you can find someone who has an old copy for sale, you must now buy Logic Pro from the Appstore. There is NO upgrade path.
Logic Express did not include Sculpture, EVP88, EVD6, EVB3; they are in Logic Pro

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.

Installing Logic Express from Logic Studio Package

Does any user, or Apple, know if it's possible to performa a Logic Express installation from my Logic Studio package, i.e. not the whole Studio installation, but the limited version?
TIA,
-gg

In the installer simply untick everything you can untick and you should be able to do a "skeleton" install of about 7.5 GB. It'll still be Logic Pro though, not express. But installing the app only is not possible, some content +cannot be deselected+ in the installer.

Difference between logic studio n logic express 9, difference between logic studio n logic express 9

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!

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

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

Please help~~ about secondhand logic studio upgrade from express

i bought a logic studio 8 from ebay, its upgrade from logic express 7. the seller send me full package of logic studio 8 upgrade and one license label of the logic express 7 which stick on the license sheet of the logic studio 8. i did not get the full package of the logic express 7 but only get one license label of logic express 7. can i use this package of logic studio upgrade in my studio ?
the seller sell all the s/n for me include the license of express 7, but i only get the license label of express 7, is it enough to own the license of this logic studio ?

I'm afraid you may have to take this up with the seller, as it seems he didn't deliver what was listed for the bid. Because we are now on Logic 9, I'm unsure as to the effectiveness of updating past iterations of Logic. If all else fails, contact Ebay and/or Apple support.

Can you install logic express on more than one computer

can you install logic express on more than one computer ?

Be sure to read the End User Licensing Agreement for questions of this nature. You are allowed to install Logic on two computers that you own, for example an iMac and a MacBook Pro. You cannot, however, use the two computers at the same time if they are on the same network. You can use one computer as a Logic Node to shift some of the processing load (which you would likely do with an ethernet cable) but you don't need to have a full installation of Logic on the Node machine, just the Logic Node installation. The idea of allowing two installations is so that you might take advantage of a portable computer in the field for on-site recording then later transfer those files to a desktop studio set up for further editing.

External MIDI device, can't get more than one sound, Logic Express 9 & Korg N364

Hi, I just beginning to use Logic. I trying to get Logic Express 9 to work with and use my Korg N364 keyboard/workstation as an external MIDI device. I can only get one sound at a time even though I create multiple tracks and assign different programs (or patches) to them.
Each time I do the following: I add a new external MIDI track, change the Channel to new number, put a check in the Program box ( as well as the Volume & Pan), and choose a instrument or patch from the Program drop down menu. What happens, though, it changes the sound to that instrument alright, but ALL THE PREVIOUS EXTERNAL MIDI TRACKS HAVE THE SAME SOUND NOW. I've followed the tutorials I found on the web and it seems like I'm doing everything correct in Logic. I hooked up the MIDI cables, added a new device and connected virtual cables in the MIDI studio window of my Mac OS, and have added the proper Korg multi instrument in the environment window of Logic and "un-slashed" the 16 channels. I get the sounds from the Korg no problem, it's just that I can only assign one sound and no more to the external MIDI tracks. Is there something in my Korg I need to do? Or am I missing something in Logic?

It's not Logic, it's how you have the Korg setup.
I'm not familiar with that model but it is a workstation so I'm pretty sure you can set it to a "Multi" mode.
Right now you are running it in single patch mode.
In single patch mode only one sound is available on a single MIDI channel, your Korg probably has a Multi or Combi mode, this is where multiple sounds can be played, each sound has to have it's own MIDI channel.
You will need to set this up on the Korg first.
