Really New Newbie!... Logic Pro Academic Version?

I am a student at USC and I am looking into buying Logic Pro. They sell the academic version here for about $400. Now, what exactly is the academic version and how is it different? I heard that you might not be able to upgrade with it and you'd have to spend another grand to get the full version... HELP PLEASE!!!! Thanks...

Hey Quinn welcome to the discussions
EDU versions are the same functionality as full retail versions of the software however they are licensed to students and faculty at reduced prices for educational purposes
as Apple locked the OTHER pro apps from having a EDU version as a starting point in a upgrade chain it is safe to assume that Logic will follow

  • Logic Pro Academic version demo period

    Hi guys,
    I've been helping out a school with the use of their logic pro setup and have come accross that they have 16 weeks left in the demo period for logic academic.
    They have purchased the full program and have the xskey plugged in and working fine, but apparently there is some other authorisation needed.
    Anyone else use the academic version and know about this?
    Cheers
    Dean

    It shouldbe fine. Its a bug with the Academic version. It might also ask you for authorization every now and then upon startup. Just quit and reopen. It works.

  • Logic Pro academic version

    Hey guys, I just purchased the logic studio and wanted to see how many times I can install it to my computers. I have a macbook and was planning to get a desktop which would be the primary user of the studio. I just don't want to put it on my macbook and not be able to put it on my desktop.
    Thanks for your help

    I just purchased the logic studio and wanted to see how many times I can install it to my computers.
    Two if one is a laptop and the other is a desktop, or one otherwise. It doesn't matter whether it's a regular or academic package.

  • I am new to Logic Pro X.

    I am recently new to Logic Pro X. I have never used production software before so everything is very new to me. I have been watching a lot of tutorials (learn to crawl before you can run). But I have noticed that the layout of my Logic is different to the others in the tutorials. Mine has sort of a brown boarder on the sides of the screen and when I first open up Logic everything is fine, I click 'Empty Project' but from here things look different to everyone elses.
    After clicking 'Empty Project' another screen opens that lets you choose from Software Instrument, Audio, Drummer etc.. On others Logic it just comes up as individual boxes for each subject.. But on my Logic it comes up something similar but only it has 3 big pictures of instuments.
    It looks a lot like garage band and it is really annoying me because when I am watching tutorials and trying to go along with them it is hard to keep track.
    It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help.
    The way I want my Logic to be.The way that it is.

    You are running Logic Pro X in "Garage Band Pro" mode.... (You choose this option during install.. when it asked if you had ever used LPX before..) which is a cut down version of LPX with a lot of advanced features and abilities turned off....
    So.. to turn on "Logic Pro X" Mode..... and activate all the features you are missing...
    Go to Logic's preferences/Advanced tab (In the menu bar) and check all the options.....
    I would restart LPX after doing so..... and open a new project.... and you will be good to go....

  • After i upgrade to lion and updated logic pro to version 9.1.6 stops responding when loading "Ryu Chords" it stops responding, do anyone have any ideas what problem it can be?

    After i upgrade to lion and updated logic pro to version 9.1.6 stops responding when loading "Ryu Chords" it stops responding on certain moment, i tried to reinstall freshly and update to version 9.1.5 but problem same so at this moment version is 9.1.6. I tried 64bit too but no changes. And the thing is that i need studio and i need to sort this problem quick.
    Please everybody if you had same problem give me answer or any idea what to do
    Thanks

    The sample rate is not 128 or so, you probably mean the buffer size...
    But the performance drop makes sense: switching between a 64 bit process and 32 bit doesn't come free: it cost performance and creates a jitter, which also either shows as performance lost or instability.
    You really have to move away from outdated 32 bit AudioUnits, sorry. Ask the vendors to finally release 64 bit versions, it has been several years since 64 bit is available.

  • I just installed logic studio (academic version) and it will not open, quits right away, how can i fix this? running lion

    I am  having trouble with my newly installed logic studio ( academic version ). it will not open, quites immediately. any suggestions?

    Have a read here https://discussions.apple.com/message/15701309#15701309
    Seems that you have to update Logic to the latest version (9.0.15) to get it to work in Lion.

  • Just purchased Logic Studio Academic Version off ebay.  serial code is invalid. HELP!!!!

    I just purchased Logic Studio (academic version) off ebay.  It was only 200$.  When i received it, it was factory sealed and everything, and had the serial number.  However, when I entered the number it consistently gave me the "serial number is invalid".  I know its not any problems with how I entered the code, because I checked all my 0's and O's and 1's and L's.  I also entered it about 30 times.  I'm kind of freaking out.  Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Or am i just screwed?....

    You could call AppleCare or Customer Support...

  • Is there  any free update for logic pro x version 10.0

    Can logic pro X version 10.0 update to 10.1 for free ?
    How please !?

    Open the Mac App Store and click on the Updates tab; this is free, but you'll need to be able to log in with the Apple ID used to buy Logic.

  • New York Logic Pro Users Group – Meeting Announcement

    _*New York Logic Pro Users Group – Meeting Announcement_*
    The next meeting of the NY Logic Pro Users Group will be next Tuesday, October 21st, 6PM, at Dale Pro Audio in Manhattan.
    Dale is located at 22 W. 19th St., Manhattan, NY.
    This meeting will allow users to share their favorite tips and techniques in Logic, as well as their projects, with User Group members.
    Jonathan and Steve will cover special topics, in particular how to deal with manage and synchronize multiple cues when scoring to picture.
    The local NYC Apple Store's Logic guru will be in attendance as well.
    If you plan on attending, and haven't done so already, please RSVP to [email protected]
    *NYLPUG is brought to you by Mac Audio Trainers.*

    I can't say enough good things about Redmatica, and Andrea in particular.
    I've found and reported a handful of issues I found in Keymap, and in each case I had the issue confirmed, and a new build sent to me at most within a couple of days, often much sooner, with the issue fixed. If only Apple were more like that...
    Keymap is a stunning piece of software that, in conjunction with Logic (or other soft samplers) make creating sampled instrument content (almost) a pleasure.
    Have a good one - do you video these sessions for people who can't attend..?

  • What is the difference between logic studio academic version and the normal version ?

    what is the difference between logic studio academic version from the other versions ?

    No difference... the Academic version cannot be upgraded to the next major revision.
    If you had putchased the Logic 9 academic version you get all the updates 9.0, 9.03, 9.1, 9.3...etc
    When Logic 10 rolls around you would have to purchase the application at full price, your version isn't elgible for the upgrade price.
    Same software as the retail version though.

  • Logic Pro academic???

    Hello folks.
    Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm a profane in Mac and the softwares that it's using. Now my question is, what's the difference between the academic version and the full one of Logic pro? I made a little research and both versions had the same features but the price was different. I also discovered, that the academic version could be installed only in one computer. Is the only difference that?
    I will appreciate an answer as I am new in the forum and in knowledges of Mac.
    Thanks Toni.

    i just realized this today after reading this post... really *****. Luckily I only paid $299.00 for the academic version and not $499.00. But it does state this in a note in the education store.
    "NOTE: Academic and Not-For-Resale versions are not eligible for future upgrades."
    Although I have a feeling that this only applies to new version upgrades like when Version 8 comes out. I bought 7.1 with no problem and just ordered 7.2... we'll see. An upgraded version, say to version 8 means they send you the software and you upgrade your xskey... an update like 7.1 and I assume 7.2 means they send you the software and you continue using the same xskey. A new version obviously means they'll give you a xskey.

  • Logic Pro Academic Upgrades and Updates ?

    Since i'm a student i thought i thought it was a good idea to get Logic Pro 7.2 Academic version and it's only when i received it that i noticed the the mention on the box that this version is not elligible for upgrades.
    now i have not opened it yet until someone here can shed some light on this restriction. that way i can return it to the shop at school.
    what i would like to know is if i will be able to get the point updated (7.3, 7.4...7.9) until version 8.0 comes out. at the very least that's what i expect. then i'll have to buy the full version of 8.0 i guess.
    any ideas?

    The real problem with all of this is the cost of an upgrade. What I understand Apple to mean is this: the owner of an Academic version will get updates just like everybody else. The recent cross-grade (to 7.2) also had an academic price on it but was available to an Academic licence holder 'just like everybody else'.
    The real difficulty will come with whatever Apple considers to be an upgrade. There is no upgrade path from 7 Academic to (let's say) 8. In this case, everybody else will get to pay the upgrade price (whatever that might be). Academic owners will get to buy the new version at full cost (i.e., no upgrade price will be available - just the full price version unless you're still eligible to buy the thing at the (full) academic price (whatever that may be).
    There's the rub, Horatio.
