So I've got logic studio 8. I need the latest version of logic pro and mainstage. how much do I pay or has buying upgrades since first emagic been futile ?
where do I get the discounts ... I aint paying full price ...would rather go to Albeton !!!!!
What's the difference...
The price for the latest Logic in the App store is about the same as price of an upgrade... there is no discount.
For good or bad, you play Apple's way, or you play somewhere else. :-/

I got logic pro and i was wondering if possible paying a little less for an upgrade!! or do i have to pay the full price for the pro x?!!!
Or if apple would work around this some way or another?If you bought Logic 9 less than a month ago then Apple will most likely refund you so that you can buy Logic X instead.
The full (only) price of Logic X is as staed on the App Store. This price (whether people agree or disagree, like it or not like it) is still less than any upgrade price for any other DAW.
A lot of people here are saying they bought Logic 9 6 months or a year ago and want a cheaper price. For me, I started on Logic 5.5. Logic 6, you could pay an upgrade price that was way over what the full app is now but you had to add costs as things like Space Designer were extra. Their serial numbers, once purchased, got added to you XS Key, which was a dongle that never got hacked in 6 and a half years.
Apple, on acquiring Emagic, dropped the price from $1000 to $499, included all the things you had to pay extra for then dropped the price to what it is now once they went over to the App Store. They also dropped the un-cracked dongle.
So myself and a lot of other people here went 5.5 to 6 (added the goodies that were extra) to 7 to 8 and to 9. When there was an upgrade price, the price was around what the app is now.
I'm amazed at how many people see this as a full price and want money off whereas in reality a complete piece of softwaser is being offered for an upgrade price.
My first paragraph will answer your question and you probably won't care about the rest of the post. $199 or £139 IS an upgrade price. -
Logic Pro and Mainstage Bombing Out
I have a copy of Logic Studio 9 installed on my Late 2011 MacBook Pro. Everthing except Logic Pro and Mainstage 2 launch and work perfectly. When I click on Logic Pro, it just bounces in the dock a few times and quits out with an error dialog. Mainstage 2 launches to the loading page and then stalls. I have tried deleting Logic Pro and Mainstage and reinstalling from my discs, they still don't work. The thing is after the first installation attempt, the installer does not ask me for the serial number anymore. What should I do? I really need to use Logic Pro.
Did you run "Software Update" to get the latest version?

rigght after i got the ios 7 update i noticed everything from my icloud was on my phone i dont want all that stuff on here so i plugged it into my computer and its saying that i need the latest version of itunes i have downloaded it twice and i am still getting the same error message. So my question is how am i supposed to download the latest version of itunes if its not working. it says for a Windows computer the update is 11.0.5 but i need 11.1 what am i supposed to do ?
you dont need computer. go to settings > icloud and turn off what you dont want like photostream/calendars/contacts. for itunes 11.1 you need to go to itunes.com and download it then install it.

Logic pro and mainstage essential content installing problems
for 2 days now I have had Logic pro and mainstage essential contend down loading in a greyed out box with a moving stripy line in the centre, clearly it is downloading something but for 2 days? how can I get rid of it.
Thank you for the info I appreciate it! Was also wondering if the Drummer content downloads faster from Logic Pro X than from Garageband as the Drummer content downloads rather slowly from Garageband. And was figuring that since Logic Pro X is more expensive than Garageband perhaps the servers they use for Logic Pro X would be more faster than Garageband's but I'm just taking a wild guess

Audio Unit Problem with Logic Pro and Mainstage
When I go to launch my apps, both Logic Pro and Mainstage get stuck loading an AppleAUspeechsynthesis or something along those lines. It never makes it past there and I either have to force quit or it quits itself. I can press control while launching Logic Pro, but then I only get basic MIDI. I just tried an archive and install and I'm in the process of reinstalling Logic Pro right now. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
I just tried pasting my crash report. It seems like it is too long to post?

I just got a new iPod touch and I need the latest version of iTunes
to sync and manage it, so I used the updater and it gets all the way to the end of the installation process then comes up with an error- "your windows installer package encountered an error" and then it rerolls the process and closes. I uninstalled the version I had (version 10 of iTunes) and tried to install it after I downloaded from apple's website. but I'm still getting the same error. I'm running Windows 7 for 64 bit and everything is up to date with my system.
Repair your Apple Software Update
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
If you can find ASU in All Programs, go to Control Panel/Programs n Features/highlight ASU, click REPAIR -
Is it possible to use MainStage 2 with Logic Express 9.1.5.? Are there any limitations to not having Logic Pro 9. I'm very happy with LE9.1.5. as it meets all my needs (perhaps with the exception of not having Space Designer) but if I need to upgrade to get the most out of MainStage 2 then I will. I've posted this in the Logic Express Forum, as well, as I'm not sure of the best place to get an answer.
ThanksOh yeah, and Logic Express will automatically inherrit 15,000 new Apple Loops from 6 Jam Packs and probably more than 1000 EXS24 sampled instruments!! So, yeah, $29 is a great upgrade for Logic Express. To be clear though, the 120+ plug-ins from MainStage will not become available in Logic Express. They only work in Logic Pro and MainStage.
Have fun!
ps- get started fast with video training..

Is macmini enough for a musician that works with logic pro and 10 plugin softsynth at the same time?
I use to work with a music platform like garageband or logic pro and at the same time I am working with a lot of plugin software like toontrack, ik multimedia, musiclab, native instruments etc. On my PC which has the same specification as macmini i7 2.3GHz this was a big problem especially when I was selecting effects like reverb, chorus or compressor so I had to export tracks all the time. What is the minimum specs that I should have to work without any problem? Any help will be appreciated.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
For what you want the Mac, the Mac mini is OK. It has got a quad-core processor that will give you the performance you need and 4 GB of RAM that you can extend to 16 GB, apart from a removable hard drive.
The problem is the GPU, but as the applications you are going to use don't require the best GPU, it will work properly. If you want the Mac mini, go for it. An iMac may give you better performance, but the Mac mini is correct.
If you buy it from Apple, you have 14 days to return the Mac mini if it doesn't work correctly with the apps you need -
Hey whats up.
I got Logic Pro, Pro Tools HD2, (2) 96ios, and (2) 1622s.
I have 48 inputs...
I want to be able to use Logic's soft synths and have the outputs go into my Pro Tools Audio Interface.
I was reading the TDM guide and some questions here but I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do.
I go to Audio Hardware and Drivers... but it only shows Core Audio. Not DAE or DTDM. Do I have to install something with my Pro Tools system to make them show up?
Also, Is it possible to have Logic's Soft Syths go directly to Pro Tool's interfaces?
Thanks very much for any help on the matter.
Josh
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)My system is working fine besides this.
But when I got to Audio Hardware and Drivers I only have a Core Audio tab... Not DAE or DTDM.
I called tech support and they looked on the Pro Tools website. It says:
* Logic Pro 7.2 is supported on Intel-based Mac versions of Pro Tools only via Core Audio at this time.
So this means that I can't output my synth sounds out to separate Pro Tools channels???
I'm ready to give up and wait for an update but can this really be? I have Pro Tools HD2 and a Mac Pro. They are too new??? I hope I'm wrong. What do u think?
Thanks very much.
Josh
As for the Key Commands, it was the next plug-in and I assigned them to + and -.... Thanks guys!

Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?
Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time? -
Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago, which I modified on 11/4/13, and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed and there doesn't seem to be a way to reinstall it. When I checked "About Numbers" on my MacBook it shows "Numbers '09 version 2.3". Any suggestions as to how I can get the new version installed?
Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

Apple is slowly loosing me as a valued customer. I attempted to update to the latest version of iTunes (11.1.4.62) for my desktop W7 service pack 1 64 bit PC. It would not upgrade it even told me that the install verson was incorrectly installed. Error 7 (193). Wow. An attempt to update the verson and the whole install is corrupt. I followed every step to uninstall iTunes and all the Apple directories. I installed it only to crash everytime. I repaired it. No improvement. I uninstalled it again as this support sight suggests. Still iTunes began "unresponsive" and closed. I reinstalled on another harddrive - no luck.
How is it Apple with all its glory and money can mess up a simple thing as an update? I, in good faith, do as Apple suggests and now I can't access my purchased content. I will voice my opinion and see if Apple will correct this ASAP for ask for all my money back - well over 40 movies, 2,000 songs and 300 music videos.Hey I finally got an older vesion of itunes to work!!! 10.7 x64 for windows 7

so im trying to buy logic pro and just recently put enough money in gift cards on my account but every time i click buy app and go to billing info and then click ok it just shoots me to the first screen and did not charge for app how can i buy it ?
This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?
