Re-installing Logic Express

Hi
I'm having persistant audio problems with both my Focusrite Saffire and Emagic EMI 6/2 interfaces (clicks, dropouts etc) and I haven't been able to root out the cause of the problem. I'm now considering doing an erase and re-install of OS X Tiger and all of my software to see if that makes a difference. Just wondering what the implications are for re-installing LE 7.2? I originally upgraded from Logic Audio 6 (Big Box version) to Logic 7.0 and I needed to have my XS Key connected. Is this still the case and do I have to start from Logic 6 again or can I just install LE 7.2, enter my serial number and go? Also, do I have to re-register the software with Apple? Any hints and tips gratefully received as I've never done this before and I'm a bit nervous about it!
iBook G4; Mac OS X (10.4.7) Logic Express 7.2.1/768Mb RAM

Hey Dewi,
First try to see if your HD is getting full.
Are you recording audio to the internal HD?
The internal drive is a 5400rpm, for audio
you should have a 7200rpm (external firewire or USB2),
remember that as your machine isn't that powerfull you
should also add more ram.
And give a a peak at the I/O buffer size, you probably recording at 32 or 64, if yes, try to change it to a value that don't bring too much latency and clean those clicks, 128 or 256, that should do the trick.
If all this fails, check for new drivers, in your case I wouldn't re-install the system if everything else is fine.
When did this happend, have you installed any programs, demos or AU plug-ins?
About re-register the program again, I don't think it's necessary as you already did it, and probably haven't upgrade since then.
regards,
Jorge

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.

How do I install Logic Express without CD

Just got a new mac and it has no CD drive. So how do I go about installing Logic Express that I own? I only see updates listed in the downloads sections of apple pages.

Thank you, this is a good suggestion. But for some reason I coulnd't get it to work. I followed the steps as described but the drive never showed up under "devices" on the computer without the drive.
Anyway, I created a disc image of the installation disc and all ended well.
Thx.

Installing logic express 8

im installing logic express 8 and my serial number is not working. it asks me for my original xs key number?
i never had logic or any kind of recording software on my macbookpro. do i need logic studio to install express?

You do not need Logic Studio to install LE8. Are you sure you have the full LE8 version and not the upgrade? If it's asking for your original key number, that implies an upgrade.

Installing Logic Express 9 on a new macbook

Hello,
I bought Logic Express 9 pre-installed on my Macbook back in 2010, and would like to install it on my new Macbook Pro retina (it's running the latest version of Mavericks).
I still have the install DVD and serial number key that originally came with my Macbook, but since my Macbook Pro doesn't read DVDs, I'm a little confused as to how I could install Logic Express there. I looked for it in the App store, but it seems that only Logic Pro is still available there, and since I have never downloaded Logic from the App store before, I can't recover it from there either.
Is there a way to transfer Logic Express 9 on my Macbook Pro instead of having to purchase Logic Pro?
Thank you for your help

If you still have your old Macbook you could use Remote Disc to install Logic to your new MBP. Here's a video to demonstrate.
If not, you might consider getting an Apple USB Superdrive like I did. It comes in handy and is quite affordable.
BTW, be sure to run Software Update immediately after installing LE9 on your MBP because it will not work with Mavericks until you update it to 9.1.8.

How to install Logic Express 9 without disc

Hi,
I am awaiting arrival of my Retina MacBook Pro, I have logic express 9.1.0 on disc, I was just wondering how I am able to install logic express (as it is not in Mac App Store) and use my serial??
Regards,
David

If you have another computer with an internal drive you can enable "DVD or CD Sharing" to install to your RMP:

You could also use an external drive, e.g. Apple's Superdrive:

How many computers can I install Logic Express on?

Simple question...can I buy one copy of Logic Express and install it on both my Macbook Pro and my new iMac when I get it? I can't see anywhere on Apple's site any info on the software product licences. I also need to know the same information for Final Cut express.

Christian,
Thanks for that, I was beginning to think I wouldn't get an answer to this question. I will be using only one of these computers for music production at a time so that will be fine. I will probably use the iMac at home and the Macbook Pro when away and I didn't want to have to buy two copies.

Cannot Install Logic Express 9.0.1 Update

I tried to install the 9.0.1 update but I keep getting a message "An eligible Logic Express Version was not found in the Applications Folder. This Update requires Logic Express version 9.0." when I try to install it.
I have a copy of Logic 9 Express that I bought from the Apple Store & there is a copy in the Applications folder that I installed as a default location.
This was an upgrade from Logic 7. I may have shortened the name to "Logic Express" & I also have the copy of Logic 7 still in my Application Folder.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is your version 9.0 registered and functioning properly? If so, I see no reason why the update installer does not recognize it . . . as long as you installed the original application to the default Applications folder and did not move it later, and did not rename the file. Also, be sure you have not moved or renamed any support files (Library/Application Support/Logic, etc.).
Having both LE7 and LE9 in your Applications folder should be okay. I have "Logic Express 8" and "Logic Express" in mine ("Logic Express" being version 9) and I was able to update to 9.0.1.
Unless somebody else has a solution, you might try reinstalling LE9 and then the 9.0.1 update again.

Newly installed Logic Express will not open

I bought a 15-inch MacBook Pro and Logic Express 9 today. I was able to install Logic smoothly, but when I looked for it in my Applications folder, it appeared as a crossed-out AppleWorks icon. When I try to open it, I get the following error message:
"You can't open the application Logic Express because it is damaged or incomplete."
I installed it again and I got the same error message. Do I need to get it replaced, or is there a step in the process that I missed?

I didn't register, I don't have my wireless internet set up for the Mac yet.
And I don't have Snow Leopard, I just have regular Mac OS X. Do I need Snow Leopard to run LE9?

Can't install Logic Express 7 on MacBook Pro

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.

Installed Logic Express 8, now my Mac Pro won't start

I got a brand new Mac Pro about a week ago. It appeared to work fine until last night. I powered it on, installed a brand new copy of Logic Express 8 on it, shut it down, and now the Mac Pro can't finish starting up (stays forever on the gray screen with the apple and the progress indicator).
Has anyone experienced a similar problem caused by Logic, or is it just a coincidence?
(The complicating factor is that the very first thing I did when I got the Mac Pro was to install M-Audio's driver for the ProjectMix I/O. This is the only driver I've added. It's not officially supported on Leopard. But it didn't affect the Mac's ability to boot for the first week, so that would seem to put it in the clear.)

How many Macs can you install Logic Express on?

I upgraded to LE 7.1 from the Logic Audio 5/6 Big Box. I needed the XSKey to authorize the LE 7.1 upgrade -- I'm wondering, how many installations of LE 7.1 does it allow? Just for utility's sake it would be useful to install it on a desktop and a laptop, for instance.
As the XSKey still has authorizations for those previous Big Box versions, I presume I could still install Logic 5 and 6 on as many machines as I wanted, I'd just have to always have the XSKey plugged into the particular one I wanted to use at that time...right?

The agreement can be found here
http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/logicexpress.pdf
Section 2 first para
Simply you can install it on one laptop and one desktop (See the para for specifics) at the same time, but you can only use on one of these at a time.
You cannot therefore have the same license on two laptops, you need two copies.
How does it check? No idea. I don't have two apple computers.
