USB Key for Logic Pro

Hi,
I just bought Logic a few weeks ago and I must say that it's probably one of the best product I ever bought.
However, I hate the USB key that goes with it. I can't help being afrait of losing or breaking it.
Wouldn't it be possible to make such a key on a express card? This way it would solve that problem...
I would love not having to think about my USB key each time I travel with my music workstation...
Enjoy.

I have an original blue emagic key from when they were introduced(uhm... years ago). I use it everyday/all day with 3 different computers. It travels in my pocket(jeans or overcoat) unprotected. It has been soaked by rain (I don't have a car, and The Netherlands is a wet country) several times. Never had a problem. I hate softeware copy-protection because it will make me loose lots of time in the unavoidable event of some system crashes, and I much prefer dongles. Only problem is loss or theft, and stupid updates to the dongle driver software.
Of all the different dongles I've had only the obsolete NI Reaktor one stopped working at some point.

Need help on buying FIREWIRE/USB-compatible for Logic Pro 9.0.2 on my SL

Hi...Im in needs of help in my new OS Mac World.Had my Logic Pro 9(9.0.2) install in my Snow Leopard(10.6.3).Need help on buying FIREWIRE/USB-compatible for Logic Pro 9.0.2 on my Snow Leopard.Just a real basic audio interface that works with my Macbook pro Specification.You're help will be much more appreciated..
Best Regards:RatzyMazzy

In any case I would suggest to get an audio interface which is *Core Audio* compatible. This means that you just need to plug it in and it will work with OS X’s integrated driver. I once had an M-Audio interface which needed its own driver and it had latency problems because of them. I am currently using the EDIROL FA-66 with 10.6.3 on my MacBook Pro. It still works flawlessly and has worked without problems in the past with 10.4 and 10.5, too. Here is how it looks like: http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=731
I have also heard good things about the FireWire interfaces from Presonus, like the FireBox.

Can i install logic pro without the cd because my dvd driver of my mac doesn't work . i have the key for logic pro

can i install logic pro without cd ? , i have the key for the logic pro but my dvd driver of my mac doesnt work ?

Buy an external USB2 DVD/CD drive..... (Amazon's Basic model works great)
Or..
Borrow someone else's Mac that has a DVD drive fitted and use that via Remote Disk
Note:
There is no legal means of downloading available for Logic Pro 9.. unless you originally purchased it via the App Store..
Therefore, in your case, you must install from the DVDs you have...

Can I connect every USB-Audiointerface with Logic Pro?

Hello there,
please forgive me, if my english isn't so well.
So, my "problem": I actually informated me over Logic Pro X, and by the provided Audiointerfaces, I didn't saw my Audiointerface.
But - Can I simply connect a USB-Audiointerface with Logic Pro?
So, hope you understand me,
Best wishes, "toasbrot_55" (sorry for that name, i don't know when I did chosen this name)

All Mac OS compatible audio interfaces work with Logic, and almost all USB interfaces are Mac compatible. So it depends on which interface you have (make and model), and which Mac OS version you use.

Is it possible to make a BIOS usb key for a PC on a MAC?

I am not sure where to ask this question but If I needed to make a BIOS flash drive for a PC computer such as an HP Laptop or Desktop, would it be possible to do on the MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion? I ask this because I thought I was going to need to make a BIOS flash update for an HP system and I did not want to use a CD to do it. I had downloaded the flash drive tool from HP which under a windows system would make a USB flash drive. I tried running the tool under Windows 7 on both a VM session and a boot camp session but both times I would get a message saying something similar to "You don't have permission" even though I was doing it as an admin. Turns out I didn't need it anyway but for future references can I even make a bootable usb key for a PC on a Mac?

Thank you for the info. I found the problem that I had under the Windows 7 on Mac was the extractor(hpusbf.exe) was not running under the Admin mode so it wasn't given permission to modify the usb File system. I think the other issue is that I was trying this on a 8GB flash drive and it kept telling me the partition was too large. I found the switch to use 2048 blocks and it created a bootable flash drive. The problem I have now is when I tried it on my old HP laptop, it boots up saying "FreeDos Fat" and stops. So I don't know what is going on but I think I am going to stick to making bootable CDs I just have to get some Re-writable CDs so I don't waste the CDs.
I tried your solution on the mac side and tried copying the dos files over but the drive would not boot. I think the problem is that the command.com file is not set as a system file. I am not sure how you can set command.com as a system file for windows under the MAC operating system. I know in windows you use attrib +S filename.

An Intel iMac AND a MacBook Pro for Logic Pro?

I am torturing myself over this issue lately so any input you guys could offer would be welcome!
This is the situation:
After 3 months of serious debating whether to purchase a 20" Intel iMac or a MacBook Pro for Logic Pro, I went ahead about 3 weeks ago and got the iMac. My reasoning behind this was that even though I found the portability of the MBP very desirable, the iMac simply represented a better value with the big screen and bigger hard drive. Since getting it, I must say I love this machine and I have not had one single problem with it. Logic 7.2 runs like a dream on it. By the way, aside from maintaing my iTunes Library, occasional iLife stuff and web surfing with Safari, this iMac is for music production only.
But here's the problem:
Still, I can't seem to shake the desire for OCCASSIONAL portability. Keep in mind, I am only a "serious" music hobbyist; I create instrumental hip-hop, trip-hop, electronica style of music mainly with software instruments, loops and breakbeats. So needless to say, I don't tour or do a lot of travelling. But the prospect of being able to compose tracks or make beats in Logic anywhere is DESIRABLE to say the least. I could compose while sitting on the couch watching a game or laying in bed - even though I have no idea of how often I'd actually do that, just having the ability to do it is VERY APPEALING to me. Throw in the fact that the iMac currently shares deskspace with a PC that my wife uses - meaning that I often have to stop what I'm doing to let her use the space. With a laptop, I could move and still continue my flow. Lastly, I unfortunately have bad knees and a bad back so after a couple of hours (or 3 or 4) of sitting at the desk working on Logic, I am seriously hurting. Not comfortable at all. At least owning a MacBook would give me the option to move around to some place more comfortable if I desire.
So...
Even though I recently bought a wonderful iMac that works great, I'm seriously considering getting a 1.83 MBP with at least 1GB of RAM and the 100GB/7200 RPM drive to accompany it just for the portability factor. Sure, I could get a used G4 PowerBook or iBook, but all I own is the Universal Binary of Logic Pro; I would have a hard time accepting the decrease in speed I've gotten use to on the Core Duo. Besides, I inherently have a problem buying something (even used) that I know is old and out of date when the latest and greatest is available.
So here is the $25,000 question: Am I nuts for even considering this? Am I placing too much of a premium on the portability as I would use it?
This could easily be justified if I was a working musician on the road, but that ain't me. And you can believe that I'm definately not rich and thus don't have money lying around.
But I have obsessed over this so much lately, I feel that I almost have to get it just to put my mind at ease! I even briefly considered putting the iMac on eBay and just buying a MBP to replace it, but I love the screen real estate I get with the 20" iMac and I question if I'll be truly satisfied with a 15.4" screen FULL TIME. 17" might be better, but I doubt if I can wait until June for them to arrive. In addition, everything would connected via my wireless LAN and .Mac so file sharing should not be an issue.
Help!!!
What would you do? Sell the iMac or just get a MBP as cheap as I can?
Opinions, Please!
20" iMac Core Duo, 2GHz, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB HD, 128MB VRAM Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I love the portability my powerbook gives me. You can use a PB in your setup. You can run an external monitor for either PB or MBP. You can node. Universal Binary menas it is an application which has the components written for both PPC and Intel chips-so you don't need to do conversion. Nodes won't require you buy a nother license. so the answer is down to how much the 2 upgrades and 1 crossgrades will set you back vs how much use you'll get out of them. IMO the iMac is inexpensive (I mean that in a good way-worth hooding on to). Maybe just look at a refurb PB unless you really have the extra cash.

New Mac Mini or iMac (late 2012) for Logic Pro?

Between these two specifically, which would be better for Logic Pro, and why?
The new Mac Mini (mid-tier) has a 2.3gHz i7, and the low-end iMac which has a 2.7GHz i5. Both are quad-core. The i5 is faster in clock-speed, but the Mini sports the i7, which has hyperthreading.
Can anybody offer any insight on which of these two computers would be better for Logic?

While this is not quite the answer you be looking for...
The 2011 Mac Mini Server, is in many ways the better bet for use with Logic because...
It has a 2.0Ghz i7... so slightly slower than the 2012 models..but it is the i7 version with 8 Cores.. so it still flies..
It comes with 2 x 500GB 7200rpm Hard Drives built in (Compared to 5400rpm Drives in the 2012 model)
Memory easily upgraded to 16GB for about $90 via Amazon..
..and yoi get a free copy of OS X Server, if should wish to use it at some point in the future... (The MMS comes with the Standard OS X installed and you have to run the add on server program to install OS X server so if you don't need the server stuff, don't run the Server installation software and you'll be running standard OS X as normal)
USB2 instead of USB3 is about the only other important difference that matters for AudioExt Drive use but using the FW800 and Thunderbolt ports, via Tbolt to FW adaptors on the 2011 MMS removes the need for USB3 I find..
Othert than that the 2011 and 2012 models are pretty much the same...
But.. the real kicker is that Apple are currently selling refurbished ones (with full warranty) at $759..... down from $999 originally...so they are quite the bargain..
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC936LL/A/refurbished-mac-mini-with-lion-serve r-20ghz-quad-core-intel-core-i7
I bought two of these originally and have never regretted it.. So much so that i just picked up another as a spare...
Got to be worth consideration... and at that price.. You could buy two... and use Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 to sync them together..
A Basic Guide to VEP5 and Logic info that i wrote, can be found here...
http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=78956http://www.logicprohe lp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=78956
...add a screen and still save money conpared to buying a mid level iMac.... and you would be getting one **** of a punchy system for your buck.
Other than that suggestion..
In regards to the original question... Always go for the i7 models as hyperthreading adds 4 more (virtual) cores and that can really make a difference in performance compared to the 4 cores of an i5...

Where can I find the serial number for LOGIC PRO from the AppStore

Please help me:
Where can I find the serial number for LOGIC PRO from the AppStore?
I bought and downloaded the application, now it asks me for the serial number but I didn't not receive it or can find it.

My understanding is that if it was purchased throught the App Store, then there is no requirement for a serial number. At which point does it ask you for the serial?

APPLE: We Need An Upgrade Price for Logic Pro X!!!

There has always been an Upgrade path for Logic Pro. Where is it???

I've been using Logic since it was Notator 2.5 as well, upgrading every time, and I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with their being no upgrade price.
Reasons?
1. Even at the full price, Logic X is cheaper than any ProTools upgrade price.
2. It is a ridiculously powerful piece of software which can do things I was only dreaming of being able to do 20 years ago. Frankly I think $200/£139 is astonishingly good value for what it can do.
Perhaps people should stop convincing themselves that software manufacturers somehow 'owe them' just because they're long-term users? Apple has delivered a piece of professional level software at a remarkable price - for that I'm actually pretty thankful!
Nobody ever said doing professional quality audio was cheap.

Where to download updates 1-6 for logic pro x

where todownload updates for logic pro 10

Apple menu.... Software Updates
or..
Run the Mac App Store Application and go to updates in there...
Note: Make sure your Logic Pro X app is named as such and resides in your Applications Folder... Also, and this has to be said... given you are asking this question when OS X would have normally notified you already about any updates if you have a legal version... If you are using an illegal version, you will not be able to update.

Suggestions for controller for logic pro

Hi;
I'm composer. And i want to buy staff for makind music on computer. I found many but they arent special for Logic pro.
I'll write want i want, please write your suggestion about what i need and have to buy..
Requirement about the staff that i want:
* After i prepare my music' midi files by writing to Logic or Finale; i want to change this ınstruments with good sample sounds.
* After that i want to control everything about music (tempo!,velocity, volume, balance etc.)with automation by using a analog table like a conductor.
* By using this analog table, i want to change ınstrument effects. For example; When its neccessary i need to import pizzicato strings or staccato woodwinds etc.
*Like a rehearsal with symphonic orcestra, i want to order everything from this analog table.
Please suggest me staff which has ""every"" requirements that i need(with trade names)
(please attention : some suggestions hasn't got automation for tempo -ritardando, accelerando)
Thank you for now.

jazzlife, I really suggest you read up on what Logic 7 can do and how it works. Logic uses both MIDI and recorded audio files and can use both real (external) and virtual (software) synthesisers. It is a very flexible piece of software and will fulfil all the requirements you have listed. I'm not sure what you mean exactly by an 'analog table' but be assured you have full control over every aspect of your music such as adding effects and mixing.
It is difficult to suggest exactly what you need because everybody's requirements are different.
If you wish to record audio then you will need an audio i/o device. Some good trade names are: RME, Apogee, MOTU and Presonus. There are others of course.
If you need a MIDI i/o device for external synths then I suggest you start look at MOTU. Also, some of the audio i/o devices have a built in MIDI port as well!
It might be useful to find a music shop that can advise you or put you in contact with someone near you who uses Logic.
I hope that helps you a bit.

Download link error for Logic Pro 9.0.1

Anyone else have this problem? When I navigate to the right page for Logic Pro update 9.0.1 and click download, the file that actually gets transferred is for Logic Express. The Pro update is 183 mb and express is something more like 135 mb. In my download manager I can see that it is the Express package which has been downloaded.
