TS4027 If I own Logic studio do I need to pay for Mainstage update to 2.2.2?

Hi how do I do this and is it worth it??

Did you find an answer to this? I'm in the same boat, don't want to spend the extra $30 if I'm entitled to an update as a Logic Studio 9 owner.
Thanks
Sean

Updating logic studio 8 - help needed!

Can anyone cleverer than me help me with a problem?
I bought a second hand mac book pro and it had a copy of logic pro on it that when you opened it asked for the serial number. I had logic plat 6 on my previous mac and I bought the update to studio pro 8, installed it with the xs key in and it all seemed to work fine until i did a software update and tried to launch it again. It just came up asking for the serial no as before which the upgrade version doesn't have on the packaging. I then have to reinstall which again works until i try to update.
I have tried:
uninstalling logic using appzapper before reinstalling.
entering the serial no that is shown when the app is opening up.
running update with the xs key in.
none of these have worked and it's starting to get annoying. I think it must be to do with the version that was on the machine when i got it but using appzapper i have no idea how to get rid of it.
Any help on this would be hugely appreciated.
thanks in advance.

It just came up asking for the serial no as before which the upgrade version doesn't have on the packaging.
You've confused me with this. Are you saying that your Logic Studio Upgrade package doesn't have a serial number? Because it should. Inside the box are several thin documents, one of which is called 'Installing Your Software.' You'll find your serial number on that.
It's very possible that if you used App Zapper to uninstall the previous LP8 it didn't find the folder that contains the Serial #, and therefore Logic is still running on your friends number. (I just opened LP8 in App Zapper and it didn't find that folder). Go to Your User/Library/Preferences/Logic, and dump the files within that folder. There are Logic preference files in the Preferences folder, but you want to dump the ones *inside the Logic folder within the Preferences folder*.
You shouldn't have to reinstall Logic to get it to be under your license. Just dump the files mentioned above, start Logic, put in the Serial Number in your package, and then it will be running on yours. You might need the XS key in for that.
Once it's all squared away, and it's running from your serial number, you should be able to update Logic without the XS Key and without having to put in your Serial Number each time.
Good Luck!

I own logic studio 8. I have lost my serial number. I have the barcode, the receipt but i have lost the booklet containing my number, what can i do?

lost number, help

Blueberry's spot on (again brilliant, man!), I lost my paperwork as well but still had the receipt from the Apple Store. I called AppleCare and they ended up issuing me a new serial number that they emailed to me and registered with their system. Easy as pie.

Has anyone successfully used OSX Lion with Logic 8, a Digi002 and Digidesign's Coreaudio? Need to know for iCloud update.

I need to upgrade to Lion for iCloud and to shift my mobile me iDisk to iCloud in order to save the content I have and need to share.
Anyone using Logic 8 with this? I want to be sure, as I can't afford to upgrade everthing just yet.
Thanks

I can give a partial answer.
If you're installing Lion over the top of Snow Leopard Logic should be fine, it you're going to run a clean install of Lion, Logic 8 will not install but will run if you can copy it over from a working SL install.
Update: This thread has info on how to install Logic 8 on a clean install of Lion.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18270040#18270040
The other issue are Digi's Core Audio MIDI drivers, they don't seem to be Lion compatible yet so while you may have the audio part of the interface working with Lion, you have to remove the MIDI drivers or Logic chokes while booting up. (unless there are new drivers I don't know about) Perhaps others have more info on the Digi situation.

Logic Studio: Software Update not working for Compressor and can't download

I'm a Logic Studio customer. The 3.0.2 update isn't working from Software Update. I've tried to download the installation file separately, but it looks like you need a Final Cut Studio SN to download. Compressor is part of Logic Studio, so we need to be able to update also - without relying on Software Update. Thanks guys

Hello there Brad,
I was thinking it might be a good idea to delete and re install the iMovie and iPhoto applications from the Mac App store.
First find the apps in your Applications folder in finder, and move them to the trash and restart your computer.
Then use this article to re download them from the Mac App Store.

What's the difference between Logic Studio 8 & 9?

is it me or is the ONLY difference between Logic Studio 8 & 9 the fact the LS9 can run in 64-bit mode?
I've owned Logic Studio 8 since about a year after it came out. About a year ago I got a Pro that's got Snow Leopard on it, so I installed LS8 on it. My Pro is running in 64-bit mode, but LS8 only runs in 32-bit mode, so I thought I'd "Upgrade" & buy Logic Studio 9 a couple of days ago. I just installed it yesterday & ran it for the first time today. I don't see ANY differce at all between 8 & 9 EXCEPT that Logic Pro & Main Stage both have a 64-bit mode. ALL of the synths & their presets are the same. All of the loops & jam packs look the same. Did I just pay all that $$$ just to get a 64-bit version of what I already had?
I've tried looking on this site & everything I find is about Logic Pro X. Is there anyone out there that knows enough about this to tell me for sure what the real differences are between Logic Studio 8 & 9?

Check Wikipedia - of course there are more differences:
Logic Pro 9
On July 23, 2009, Logic Pro 9 was announced. A major new feature included "Flex Time", Apple's take on "elastic" audio, which allows audio to be quantized.[5] A version of the pedalboard from GarageBand was included, together with a new virtual guitar amplifier where the modeled components could be combined in different ways. There were also a number of improvements to audio editing, fulfilled user requests such as "bounce in place" and selective track and channel strip import, as well as an expanded content library including one more Jam Pack. Some of the bundled software, including MainStage 2 and Soundtrack Pro 3, was also improved. Logic Pro 9 is Universal Binary, although not officially supported for use on PowerPC computers.[6] SoundDiver, which had been quietly bundled with previous versions, was dropped, eliminating support for arguably the world's most popular synthesizer editor/librarian. As Apple has bundled so many software instruments with Logic, it is not likely that we'll see the return of integration with external synthesizer hardware to the Logic platform.[citation needed]
On January 12, 2010, Apple released Logic Pro 9.1, an Intel only release, thereby officially discontinuing Logic for the PowerPC platform. Logic Pro 9.1 has the option of running in 64 bit mode, which allows the application to address more memory than in the past. Says Apple "With 64-bit mode, the application memory is not limited to 4GB as with 32-bit applications, so there is essentially no practical limit by today's standards.". Third party plug-ins that are 32 bit are still compatible, but will run from a 'wrapper' inside Logic Pro itself.
On December 9, 2011, Apple announced that Logic Pro Studio 9 would no longer be available on DVD, and would only be sold via the Mac App Store. The price was reduced from $499 to $199.99 for the Logic Pro app, and $29.99 for MainStage. The download was just over 400mb, and 19gb of optional loops were available as in-app downloads.[7]

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.

After clean install of ML 10.8 I am unable to install my Logic Studio 9 Box Set

I recently did a clean install of ML 10.8 (on version 10.8.2) on my iMac (did a HDD upgrade)
When I now try to install my Logic Studio Box Set from the disc I get this error...
I don't know of a way to upgrade to the APP Store version from my serial number... and I can't find a pro app support number -
Suggestions?

I have Logic Studio v9 box set...
Not Logic Studio 8 Box Set... ??
I purchased the Logic Studio v9 Box set right after it came out - but slightly before it was put on the app store...
I asked Apple if I could transfer my serial number to the app store - and they said "no" that wasnt possible... even though I legally own Logic Studio v9

Logic Studio Serial Number not accepted for Logic Studio 9 updates

I just purchased an upgrade from Logic Express to Logic Studio 9. I wanted to download the updates to current versions from http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/download/, but my serial number wasn't accepted on that page. I've checked the numbers (I copied them from the registration dialog just before pressing return - yes, the letters are all caps). Is there anything else I can try? Thanks.

I've seen lots of people posting about their serial not working yesterday, and experiencing it myself with my own serial.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2297318&tstart=0
I'm guessing their gateway server that authorizes the download by verifying your serial number had "issues" yesterday, probably caused by demand. I'm sure Apple posted the direct download page because of this.

Thinking about moving to Logic Studio

I am seriously thinking about making the move to Logic having watched all the online videos. LOOOVE those new amps!!!! I am pretty good now with Garageband, but think I am ready for more. So my question is has anyone tried to go to Logic? If you did was it hard to learn? Did you end up going back to Garageband in the end? If Logic is too hard to learn is there anyway I can add more cool amps-and sounds to Garageband without having to learn a whole new software.
thanks!

Frank,
These products have AU's that you use inside garageband. If you are looking for more than guitar sounds as in commercial synths you can try the demos of some frome this site.
http://www.linplug.com/Download/download.htm
iCresendo,
You can get demos of the guitar AU's I think. I don't play guitar so I have to use reFX Slayer2.
http://refx.com/?lang=en&page=products/slayer2/summary
I also use Logic studio. I have found that the Lynda modules have helped make it easier to learn.
http://www.lynda.com/
Lynda also has learning modules for GB that are pretty good also.
As far as moving from GB to Logic epress or Studio it depends on how much extra stuff your going to be doing to your tracks. I'm still using GB to make most of my tracks and then going over to Logic to master and add a few things. I really enjoy GB's quickness.
Whatever guitar apps (AU's) you buy for GB you'll also be able to use in Logic Express and Logic Studio. That is also true for commercial synths.

Logic Studio on new IMAC ?

I bought Logic Studio 08 three years ago for 499 Euro (which is approximately 700 US dollar) and upgraded my IMAC 24 (bought at the same time)
to a new IMAC 27 recently.
I also bought the USB Drive to install my Apple Products that i bought earlier (like Logic Studio).
When i tried to install Logic Studio from my DVD I was not even able to start the installer on my new IMAC. "Does not support Power PC" it says.
I called Apple for help. Guess what they said ?
It is true, Logic Studio is not working. You cant use it anymore.
No, we dont provide an upgrade for Logic Studio. Buy a new one for full price.
Hello ? Are you serious ?
The program i used to work with is just over three years old and you cant expect people to pay several hundreds of dollars every two or three years to buy the new version.
i put 2000 Euro down the drain and will try to return my new IMAC. I am really angry about that kind of "support".
I have been using Apple for decades but this new policy makes the once user friendly brand an absolute no go for me.

I have neither Logic 8 nor Final Cut Studio 2, but both seem to suffer from this particular bug; that is, installers that will not work in Lion/Mt. Lion & return a PowerPC dialog box, but actual applications that will run in Lion/Mt. Lion when properly installed.
If you search this forum since Lion has been introduced, you will see some suggestions to FCS2 users to actually install Rosetta from a Snow Leopard disc into Lion and it will install. It is not clear if this suggestion works for Mt. Lion.
I do not recall seeing anyone claim that this suggestion would work for Logic 8.
However, it has never made any sense to me that if you could install Rosetta into Lion and get a PowerPC Installer to work, why wouldn't a PowerPC application work; which of course they will not! Hence, I began to theorize that it must be a bug in a program written for Leopard/Snow Leopard that was cropping up in Lion/Mt. Lion as a "PowerPC app" problem, when it was really not one.
Also, I theorized that installing Rosetta into Lion/Mt. Lion could later lead to downstream problems which could become serious and indeed I read one post recently that may have confirmed that problem.
Finally I came across a blog by Jeremy Johnstone, Installing Final Cut Pro Studio 2.0 on 10.7 Lion w/o Rosetta, which ironically had NEVER been quoted on this forum before, that postulated for different reasons that it was not a Rosetta problem and described a workaround for installing FCS2 using Terminal. I was able to get independent confirmation on this forum that his installation method actually works!
So in theory, it should work for Logic 8 (as well as any of the other so-called PowerPC installer apps for programs that work in Lion/Mt. Lion, if there are any more), too. Before I could get a user of Logic 8 to test this theory, I came across Barney-15E's discussion of the roaringapps solution using Terminal.
I suspect that maybe roaringapps came up with their Terminal install suggestion for Logic 8 from Jeremy Johnstone (or maybe my posts here on this forum), as well, but I have no direct information one way or the other. As far as I know, roaringapps do not cite their source.
In any event, this Terminal solution is another tool in the toolbox for installation of these programs instead of the "install Rosetta" one that I believe is dangerous (and some suggest using Pacifist, too).
Maybe you can do some experimentation if you have these programs and report back to us, too?

Logic Studio and Autotune

I'd like to know if Antares plugin Autotune works with logic Studio, and also if I can use MainStage wih Logic (I mean for instance use MainStage instruments, like a piano, in a Logic project) ?
Thanx !

Autotune works just fine in Logic Studio. And the instruments in Mainstage are, as far as I know since I haven´t really used MS that much, essentially the same.

Logic Studio with Mini

I'm thinking of getting the Mac Mini for a portabel DAW with Logic Studio.
I need it for live performing more than recording.
Any negative thoughts on this issue?
Can I use any LCD Monitor with Mini?
Thanks

Hi there,
I have a Mac Mini (core 2 duo) and it's great. I took it to Glasgow with me earlier this year for some work and it was totally reliable.
Bear in mind the disk is not as fast as some boxes but you should still be able to a fair mount of work with it (eg 26-24 complex tracks with sound treatments). You will want an external disk as well for your audio files.
As for screens, you'll need the right connector (VGA to DVI) but they're not expensive compared to everything else.

Logic Studio environment file for JV-1010

Can anyone share with me a Logic Studio (v.9.02) environment file for JV-1010?
Can anyone share with me an environment file that I can easily adapt to use with my JV-1010?
I cannot part with my JV-1010, and I am a new to Logic (Pro Tools convert).
Thank you very much.

Just wanted to give this a bump. I was looking around the web trying to find the same for a JV-1080 and a Korg Z1, but with no luck. Anyone know of a source for finding patch lists that could be imported in Logic? Or is there a way to import/extract the info from a synth via midi?

Logic studio disk scratched, contact manufacturer for a replacement

4/18/08 3:53:51 PM Installer[9657] Install failed: The source media you are installing from is damaged. Try installing from a different copy of the source media or contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
I get the bove error when I try to install logic studio upgrade. Is it possible for me to download the a replacement disk? The affected disk is disk 1.

You might be able to make a disk image using Disk Utility, and install from the disk image. This might not solve the problem, but if you're looking for something to try I'd try this. I know it seems counterintuitive, since the failure says the disk is damaged, but sometimes just trying a different approach gives the result you're looking for even if it doesn't make sense.
Good Luck!
