Tiger or Leopard for Logic Studio on my G4?

(This is a repost from a reply in another topic) According to Apple's system requirements I need to upgrade to either Tiger or Leopard to get Logic Studio to run on my G4. Does anyone with a simlilar machine have advice of whether 10.4 or 10.5 will be my best bet? Also how do I do a "clean install" and will it make a difference. -Thanks

Before doing a clean install please make sure you've back-up all your Songs,
then test to see if they work,
after they have work then you could then select the Hard-Drive from where you install L.P. 8 by double clicking onto it and use Spotlight which is at the Upper-Right of the H.D. you've just enter,
and type Logic-Pro 8 in seconds the installed Files will appear highlight all the Files you want that comes up saying Logic-Pro 8
Right-Click onto them then select Trash or Manually Drag them to the Trash.
As to whether you want to use Leo or Tiger its up to you,
I would love to use Leo however at this time it isn't fully supported by Digi Design Pro-Tools LE oo2R, so i'll have to wait before i jump in,
therefore if you don't have wait the choose is yours, Logic -Pro 8 requires OSX 10.4.9. straight to Leo + Quicktime 7.3
Good-Luck and a happy new-Year.

  • Tutorials for Logic Studio?

    I was wondering if anyone might be able to direct me to finding a tutorial for logic studio. I just bought the program yesterday and thought that would be the quickest and easiest way for me to understand the program. If no such thing exists than let me know too, thanks.

    They have many other tutorials available too, including instruments such as Sculpture, Ultrabeat etc. in addition to the more general tutorials.

  • XS key for Logic Studio

    I recently upgraded my OS from tiger to leopard. I was running Logic studio in tiger but when I went to install in leopard it asked me for an XS key. 1) what is that? 2) where do i get it? I need to get LP8 up and running asap! Thanks

    was running Logic studio in tiger
    Was your copy of LS a full version, or an upgrade from Logic 7 or before?
    1) what is that? 2) where do i get it? I need to get LP8 up and running asap!
    If you bought a full version of LS and it's asking for an XSkey, you need to contact Apple to get this resolved.
    If you bought an upgrade from LP7 or before, and you've already previously had it running, you'll know what an XSkey is, and will already have one. If you bought an upgrade from Logic Express, you should not be asked for an XSkey, you should be able to enter your LE7 serial number as an upgrade qualification.
    In any case, I suspect your best bet to get this resolved is contact Apple, have your serial number handy, and I'm sure they will sort you out.

  • Which new Mac Pro for Logic Studio?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm on the verge of ordering a new Mac Pro, but am tossed up over the quad 2.93 or the Octa 2.26. I'll be using it mainly for composing with Logic Studio. I find its a bit of a pain to record the sounds from my Motif ES8, so I'm going to start using software instruments more.
    Does anyone know if Logic uses multiple cores? I googled this and couldn't find much on it.
    If I get the quad, I'm going to load it to the max of 8G RAM. If I get the Octa 2.26, I will get 12G RAM. Will Logic take advantage of the extra RAM?
    Right now, I'm leaning towards the quad 2.26. I keep my Macs for a long time. I currently have a 4 year old G5 iMac with 2G RAM.
    Thanks for any opinions.

    I'm With Dual G5 PowerPC version 3.1 (90nm thecnology)
    Logic works fine, but when I need to recording with Omnisphere or Kontakt 3... or any Live Instruments... (anyway I'm able to use the Maximum power request patches of all 3rd party plugs that are installed in My G5)
    I need MORE SINGLE THREAD POWER... because Logic and most of 3rdparty plugs allow you to use ONLY ONE CORE (or processor).
    The ability to overclocking of the Nehalem processor is very interesting...
    you will be able to have up to 3.3Ghz in a single thread operation!
    So... I'm not sure to buy a new Mac before Snow Leopard... because I can use my G5 smoothly and if needed I have my Black Macbook for adding power (I have 2X Motu interface (828 MK3 and Mk2).
    But if hypothetically I were to buy now...: the best Mac value for money semms to be the Quad 2.93 with full Ram set 8GB!
    I don't believe about Multitrhead is needed for Live Audio performances
    The power on the single core is very important...
    I love to export as Audio the tracks
    when I use 3rd party Instruments the ammount of crash risk during the Mix down the percentage are:
    with Instruments in Live mode about 80% during professional mixdown
    With Audio tracks 0% of crash diring professional Mixdown
    Logic Pro is a rock solid DAW if used only with Audio tracks and Logic native instruments!
    I'm able to MIX more than 160 Stereo tracks with My System...
    I can wait for Snow Leopard Machines.

  • Advice needed on whether to reinstall Snow Leopard with Logic Studio 8

    Prior to purchasing Snow Leopard upgrade, my Imac 3.06GHz 4GB RAM was running Logic studio 8 really nicely. Plugins include Realguitar 2, Abbey Rd drums, KorePlayer and I use the Tascam FireOne controller for audio. After installing Snow Leopard I noticed logic was overloading much easier than previously. This appeared to be that only one core of the CPU was showing activity and once that maxed out the system stopped. I decided after much frustration to wipe the iMac and revert to the original OS. However I dont think the situation has improved much - although I dont get logic hanging when I quit the application, I notice it still tends to run out of steam long before it did before. Now I am wondering whether to risk reinstalling the Snow Leopard upgrade as I would like to get a trackpad and a few other features I miss from SL. I am guessing from what I've read on the forum that many users are happy with Logic 8 studio on Snow Leopard and are not getting the same issues as myself. I've read the articles on load balancing cores etc, but what I dont understand is why I never had to bother with this before .. it all just worked fine!
    If I do install the upgrade to SL, is there an easy way to reverse if I am not happy without having to completely reinstall everything? If I backup with time machine, will that enable me to revert back to the OS?
    Sorry for such a long posting but advice would greatly be received! I also have a macbook pro which I havent tried installing snow leopard on yet, maybe I could try it out on that first?
    Many thanks
    Simon

    Snow Leopard is for Logic 9 and higher. Or vice versa.
    Cheers

  • Pro Applications Update 2008-02 Update for Logic Studio Owners?

    I received Compressor 3.0.3 as part of the Logic Studio 8 bundle.
    Pro Applications Update 2008-02 states that it upgrades Compressor 3.0.3, however, Software Update does not offer to update Compressor nor can I download it manually since it is demanding that I provide a Final Cut Pro serial number (which I do not have, I have only the Logic Studio serial number which it won't take).
    Does anyone have any idea what Logic Studio owners are supposed to do to obtain Pro Applications Update 2008-02?
    Dave

    Well, I would agree except that the update specifically provides an update for Compressor 3.0.3 which Logic Studio owners have as well and the update description states that it is recommended for all Logic Studio users.
    "Pro Applications Updates improve reliability for Apple's professional applications and are recommended for all users of Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Server, and Logic Studio.
    Pro Applications Update 2008-02 addresses installation issues, compatibility updates, and general performance issues and improves overall stability.
    Applications included in the update:
    Final Cut Pro 6.0.4
    Compressor 3.0.3"

  • Best computer for logic studio

    hi I am running logic express on my G4 & soon i want to upgrade my computer to one which will run logic studio comfortably for the next few years, what i want to know is would the processing power an 8 core G5 be overkill, would logic studio use this processing power or would a quad core be sufficient or even a powerbook. I dont want to overspend but then I want to run the program as smoothly & quickly as possible. thanks

    Logic supports multi processing quite well. So you can take advantage of all of the cores that your machine supplies. There are some minor restrictions, but in general it scales quite well. Anyhow, I believe from what you write and that you can actually work on a G4 currently that you'll be more than happy with any recent iMac or Mac notebook. Don't spend your money on something that you don't need. Mac Pros are very fine machines, but they're also quite expensive and way too powerful for the average user.
    Cheers,

  • Help!!! The best audio interface for Logic Studio

    Hey y'all,
    I'm looking for an audio interface. Requirements are: microphone- (XLR), instrument- (1/4") and midi-connectors. I'd like to record everything 1 by 1 all by myself, without audio playback/slowing-down issues. I'm quite new with recording and have no idea which one suits my system and software the best. I want to record as easy as possible and with the most beautiful results available. Price range of up to €500.
    My MacBook Pro:
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
    Geheugen 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    My software: Logic Studio
    Thanks!

    If Midi connectivity is important: Focusrite Saffire 6 (USB). Check out the User Guide:
    http://www.focusrite.com/downloads/saffire_6_usb/
    Otherwise, I would strongly recommend Mackie's Onyx Blackjack, especially when also out gigging. Check out the product page and you can also download an Owner's Manual:
    http://www.mackie.com/products/onyxblackjack/
    I use the Mackie . User Guides/Manuals are a great way of checking out detail about a product when deciding what to buy.
    I thought that Sennheiser were well known for headphones, not microphones.

  • Mac Pro for Logic Studio...advice?

    Hi Folks,
    I am contemplating the purchase of a Mac Pro specifically for running Logic Studio, and would like to know what significance multiple processors have on its performance.
    Money is tight so I am considering the single processor option, based on the fact that in the past most applications did not make much use of the second processor. However I am a recent defector from Digital Performer and have no idea what the story is with the latest version of Logic.
    My needs are fairly humble, not doing anything that really requires massive amounts of tracks. However I don't want to be filled with regret later.
    I am contemplating the base model with one processor and then adding an additional 8GB of ram and 2 x 1 terrabyte drives. Would run the system and apps from the 320GB drive, and partition the first 1TB drive with a recording partition and a storage partition. I would use the second 1TB drive for backups.
    Would appreciate some feedback from more experienced users....
    Thanks!!!!

    i opted for the 8-core because logic can use them. but i am also using sample libraries a lot, so i needed decent horsepower. however, i feel that this 8-core mac pro has the potential to last a good while. especially when ssd drives drop in price later this year and will make sample streaming and system operations a breeze.

  • No Soundtrack Pro or ProApp updates for Logic Studio users?

    I attempted to download updates for Soundtrack Pro and the ProApp update but was asked for a Final Cut serial number - - whichm as a Logic Studio owner I do not have. So what's up - - are these updates not signifcant for those who purchased and use Logic Studio? Please advise.

    You shouldn't need to go to the download page, just run software update and it should show up. Do any OS and Pro App updates first, the STP upgrade won't show up there until you do.

  • What desk/interface for logic studio 8

    Ive recently bought logic studio 8 for my mac but dont know what interface or even usb desk to get. Would firewire be better? Ive only got a budget of around £200.00, i would use it for mainly recording guitar/ bass, keys and vocals. Ive had a look at a PHONIC Helix Board 12 Mixing Console, any good?
    Cheers

    Please bare with me, as I'm not a computer expert (especially when it comes to video cards) but what is the problem with his current video card? How would upgrading a video card help make music?
    edit: I discovered my video card is an ATI Radeon 9800 XT, so its indeed a different card. Sorry about that, but it is still a PCI video card. Does this make a difference?

  • Storage for Logic Studio

    I have an intel imac 2.4ghz with 2gb memory and have been using Garageband. I received Logic Studio as a Xmas gift and would like to know what would be the best external hard drive to use to save all my audio & midi music to. Also should Logic itself be put on to the external drive or just the recorded material (songs) I am pretty much Johnny come lately with computers but have been recording on other formats for several years would dearly love some help with setting this up cheers

    Hi,
    I'll skip the one about the 'best' external drive, but to begin at the beginning: You can put sound content (Apple Loops and Instrument Samples) on an external drive, but you cannot put Logic or plugins on an external drive, it has to be on the startup drive.
    However, the procedure to move samplecontent is tricky. In some cases it seems the installer actually enables you to directly install samples & loops on another drive, and it some cases it does not.
    If you are planning to use only Logic Studio, I'ld advise you to install everything on your startup disk, and use the external disk to record audio to.
    Off course, your setup also depends on how you will be using it. If you record audio regularly, use the external disk as a recording drive. If you hardly record audio and plan on using large sample- or loops libraries, then you could install all that on your external. Let me know.
    regards, Erik.

  • Licensing agreement for Logic studio

    Having just purchased logic studio as an upgrade from Logic 7, i was looking forward to a dongle free existence for my macbook. however, whereas logic has gone on to the studio G5 without fault, when i try and launch logic on my macbook, it tells me that 'the license file will not be written as the user does not have enough priveliges'.
    seeing as the license agreement states that you can put logic studio on two machines so long as they are not being used at the same time, can anyone out there enlighten me as to why i cant use logic on my macbook too without having to enetr in the details and serial number AND put my old logic 7 dongle in too?
    HELP!!!!

    sorted! you need to make sure that the account your are logged into has administrator privileges. hurrah!
    now i have to get a **** ilok key for everything else. will we ever be rid of bloody dongles?!!!

  • Just paid $749AU for logic studio. Now logic 9 is $200. store credit? refund?

    If I bought Logic Studio 3 weeks ago for $749.00,  Do you think I could take it back and buy the 'on its own version of logic 9' ,for the now price of $199.00? I would think anyone in my shoes would find this extremely frustrating. And I think even a store credit will do nicely as I plan to buy a new macbook pro in 2 weeks from the same mac store!(hopefully not on the cusp of a massive price drop)
    Does anyone think I would be able to change it or anything? I cant imagine a worse day to have bought logic 9.
    I asked them at the time if they had logic on its own and they didnt.Suggestions??

    ahaaaa ! garageband is hardly a substitute dude. . u mmight like it, But I run a professional studio for musicians.
    & I can use logic (& ableton) quite alright on a macbook pro 17'' (or any decent mac for that matter)
    This post was about the 'price' & refund of a purchase, Not the prospect of what I should or shouldnt use..
    I'm not sure my clients would be too happy about hiring a studio with garageband on it...
    & also, this post is old as u can see on the date. 
    But thax 4 ur (cough cough) 'suggestion'...
    btw, I do realise this was posted int he wrong forum (clearly) ;-)
    take care
