Using Logic Express 8 with Logic Pro 7

I have Logic Pro 7 academic version,but I would like to try Logic 8, so I was going to give express a shot. Will Logic Express 8 use my software instruments and plug-ins from Logic Pro 7?

You know what? I can't help but to even be ashamed to be in any of the forums here in LE8. I got mine on Tuesday and, within minutes of the installation, I had "everything" set up and ready to go for the recordings that I do. Not one bump. It has been nothing but a virtual love fest with me and LE8! With all of the complaining and problems that people are having, I feel that I am definitely in a neighborhood where I am not welcome.
Here's what I did. I looked at the options for creating a new song that we get when we want to create a new file (you have seen the prepared workspaces that LE8 gives you to choose from) and, because I only use "live" instruments (guitar, banjo, mandoline, 12 string guitar, classic guitar, and a fiddle--as well as my voice(), I just chose the selection for 8 live instruments. Now, I have read the forums for abou a year and the major complaint of the newbies is that they can't seem to get music "out" of LE and that it is almost impossible to "wrap their heads around" it. Well, Apple has answered the users with these automatic workspaces with the soundflow already set up. There is no installation of all those preferences and the personal existing hardware. No fidgeting there.
So, as I sit here in pig heaven and grunt in imported mud with others of my own ilk, I am truly happy and hav not a single complaint.
May the seas always move in your favor and be calm as the glass of a mirror.

Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens

I have download and install Logic Pro 9.1.6 on my MacBookPro 13". I record on location with my MacBook an wil edit and arrange the music on my iMac at home. Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens. I'm the owner of both computers. If it can where can I find the program on my MacBook? and how to install and register?

Hi, is the iMac also 10.6.8? I had an iMac die when 10.6.8 was installed, it worked at first but after some You Tube flash videos the screen just locked and no mouse clicking anywhere did anything. It turned out that most older iMacs [ mine was from august 2007] have a graghics chipset that can't handle Snow Leopard, there were [are?] 77 pages on this "locked screen"topic in the Snow Leopard forum. I checked out a web site that tells you how much your mac is worth by filling in the sereal number-mine was worth only $168, I may give it to a friend for his children to play with, although that seems unholy. I doubt anyone woud buy it,the problem is now so well known that even Apple certified resellars here in the Netherlands refuse to repair them,they claim Apple will revoke their certification if they replace the faulty Graphics unit,it is also VERY hard to get to that unit in an iMac, everything is so tightly packed inside.
If your iMac is running Mountain Lion[10.8.0] you may have to change the app store preference to accept apps from all sites,normally ML will only allow app store apps to be downloaded.

What you need is not a mixer, but an audio interface with at least 4 mic inputs. There is a lot of choice there, but you should indicate a budget. You can go from, say, € 300 to € thousands, if you want.
Roland UA 1010
Focusrite Scarlett 18i8
However, there are other options (like multi-out mixer plus multi in interface, or standalone mic preamps plus interface with 4 inputs, etc). I have little experience using these however so I really cannot say much about which one(s) to get. The two mentioned above both have four mic preamps, but they are by no means the only way to do it.
The cheapest solution I can think of is to get a second 1204USB, plug it in, and in OS X create an Aggregate device (=the two are being merged into 'one virtual' interface with two discrete stereo (= four discrete mono) inputs. Disadvantage: you keep the same (limited) soundquality of the 16 bits convertors. Getting any of the interfaces mentioned earlier will also mean you'll make the significant step up from 16 to 24 bits sound.

At least Logic Pro 9 and Logic Pro X work correctly in Mountain Lion. Furthermore, Logic Pro X requires the latest OS X Mountain Lion version

Using Logic Pro with Reason 3.0

I am trying to use logic Pro with reason 3.0. I want to be able to sync them together to use redrum within reason as my drum machine. I am using a MOTU 828 mk II audio interface with 8 in's and 8 out's.
When I start logic first and the reason I am not hearing any sound from reason. I can see the meters move in the mixer of reason but I hear nothing.
From the standard documentation that comes with Logic all I can figure out is that rewire is there to sync any other rewire program so that can run side by side of one sequences transport controls.
I want to be able to hear audio from both my arrangement in Logic and in Reason at the same time in the same song in sync.
Can someone please tell me firstly if this is possible and if so how can I implement this kind of setup.
Thanks in Advance.

Common problem. LP doesn't rewire 'out of the box'.
There are two ways to do this (well, more, but I'll tell you 2)
1 (Easy Way):
Restart Mac (Just to be sure things are sorted, not everytime)
Launch Logic
Launch Reason
Arrange Window
Choose a Channel> Pan Left
Go to the Middle section of the Parameters on the Left
With the Channel pop up menu, select Rewire> RWMix L
Repeat for the Right and away you go.
2 (More Advanced)
Environment Window
In the Middle section of the parameters on the Left select Create
Name it Rewire
Under that windows "New" pull down (Top Left), pull down to Audio Object
In the "Channel" pop up (Left, bottom section) select>Rewire (Left, right, 3,4... What ever you want.
Double Click the Audio Object to expand it
Pan Left or right, or whatever you need.
Rename if you wish
Do the same for the other stereo sideNow's the fun part. Assign these stereo pairs to a bus (above the fader, the default is "Out 1-2")
Go to the Mixer window
Double click the Bus you assigned, this puts it in the arrange window
Arrange window
Name the Bus "Rewire" or "ReDrum" or something great like that.
Now you can use it like a stereo pair (which I wish Logic had) for automation and effects and such.

Using Logic Pro 9 with Mavericks

Hi all
I recently upgraded to Mavericks and when I came to using Logic Pro 8 I found a problem with the tape bar indicator on the arrange window adding black blocks as it moves across the screen. I understand that this is a well known issue. My question is: Will upgrading to Logic 9 solve this? I do not want to upgrade to Logic X so just need to be sure that Logic 9 will solve the problem. many thanks

While upgrading to Logic Pro 9.1.8 will work with Mavericks, how do you intend to purchase Logic Pro 9 as it is no longer sold by Apple.

I am trying to use logic pro 9 on my lion system and it continues to say I have a bad midi...when i go to check my midi drivers folders in my library its empty...does anyone know whats going on?

got your message about making sure to use the machine specific disk that came with my machine. Unfortunately, Apple no longer sells Tiger replacement disks. I've got a couple of bids out on ebay, and will update when I have news to add to this post.
Thank you for your help, Frank!
To be clear you called the 800 number and explained what the situation was, old machine and lost the original DVD's?
Just checking because if you just called and tried to buy the DVD's they might tell you they no longer sell them but you aren't really trying to buy them your trying to replace the ones that are missing.
Ebay may work but there is a certain specificity to the DVD's required which, even if they seem right, might not work.
Good luck either way. If you get a chance when you get the DVD's I'd be interested in hearing how it all works out.

Keep getting message pop up "Error reading/writing file "com.apple.logic.pro.cs": Logical end-of-file reached during read operation," and "The Preferences are not loaded completely. Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?" Using Logic pro 8. ???

Logic froze while I was working on something so I forced quit. Now every time I open LOGIC a message pops up that says:
"Error reading/writing file
“com.apple.logic.pro.cs”:
Logical end-of-file reached during read operation."
The only button option is cancel so I press it and another message appears that says:
"The Preferences are not loaded completely.
Do not save them, as you would overwrite the Preferences file with incomplete data."
Then when i close logic a box appears saying:
"The Preferences are not loaded completely.
Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?"
There are 3 button options to press; ok, cancel or dont save.
I press "don’t save" cuz I don't want to ruin anything.
I found a discussion located here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9564253#9564253 that says if I delete the file "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" it will resolve the problem. If I do this will I loose or mess anything up at all, automation, saved channel strips customizations, saved effects, synth, or ultrabeat customizations etc? Or especially will I loose any work I've done? I have hundreds pieces of music files I've created. I'm scared to mess anything up with all the hours and months of work I've done. Is there anyway to fix this without loosing anything? I'm using Logic Pro 8.
Thank you

You can safely delete this file - its the preference file for control surface settings - you haven't said whether you're actually using a control surface or not, if so, you will have to set it up again. A new file will be created when you fire Logic up again, but of course it will contain default settings. If you have a complicated control surface setup, remember to keep a backup copy somewhere in case any future problems arise.
Other than that, you really have nothing to be scared about - hopefully your problem is as simple as that and there isn't an underlying problem (a corrupt hard drive, for example). You seem concerned about losing work, so I guess you want to think about backing that up on a regular basis too. If you're saving your projects to your system drive, do get an external one for this. And also check that you have plent of free space on your system drive - you need to keep about a quarter or third of it free for your OS and programs to run properly (some temporarily stored files can be quite large).

I am using logic pro x and do not know how to fade a track at the end of a song or change the volume in a portion of the track.

I am using Logic Pro X. I do not know how to fade the volume at the end of a song or raise / lower the volume in an area of the track. I also have a loud instand volume blip in a portion of a track that I would like to lower or eliminate.

Completely inappropriate, and they all also not help with volume adjustments. Fades will only apply to Audio Regions in the Tracks area: they will not fade out the complete mix unless you first Bounce it, add that to the Tracks area, apply the Fades with the Fade tool, then Bounce in Place (Again).
Much much better to make use of Track automation to take care of Volume adjustments, and to Fade out the end of the song by applying Track Automation to the Output Channel

HT4461 I am taking private music lessons. My teacher and I agreed that learning to use Logic Pro X will be helpful to my progress. If he buys a copy, do I have to buy a second copy in order to use it? Or can we both use it based on purchase?

I am taking private music lessons. My teacher and I agree that it will help my progress for me to learn use Logic Pro X. If he and I both use Logic Pro X only related to his teaching me, do we need to make one purchase or two purchases of Logic Pro X?

First, thank you for your thoughtful and quick response. However, your response seems to confirm my reading of the license agreement that I do not need my own licensed copy of the software.
Secondly, I apologize for not specifically noting that I am talking about running Logic Pro X on a MacAir.
Thirdly, as I read the license agreement, and as you interpret it, if Person A purchases Logic Pro X, and chooses to allow Person B's computer to be one of her five authorized computers to access iTunes/Mac App Store content, then it is not a violation of the license for both Person A and Person B to use Logic Pro X, plus any other content that Person A has or will purchase.
I do not want to commit piracy, of course, but as long as Person A does not violate the five authorized computer limitation and does not levy a charge on Person B for allowing his computer to be one of the five authorized (which would mean Person A is reselling the software, music, podcasts, etc.), I do not understand why Person A allowing Person B to use Logic Pro X is piracy any more than Person A allowing Person B to access iTunes Music. Obviously, if Person A deauthorizes the computer owned by Person B, then Person B can no longer use Logic Pro or listen to or use any other content that Person A has purchased from iTunes.
So if my teacher 1) only permits me, among all of her students, to have a computer that she will authorize, 2) has not reached the five computer authorization limit, and 3) does not charge me for listening to her purchased music or using her apps, including Logic Pro X (my lesson fee will be the same with or without her decision to authorize my computer), then I do not see that as piracy. In fact, it seems content sharing is explicitly permitted by Apple, as long as it is limited to five authorized computers. As for updates, she would apply them to her licensed computer on her MacAir and then authorize the update on my MacAir.
If a teacher tried to authorize more than five computers (which the system does not allow one to do) and/or charged students for using his/her purchased content, that is piracy.
Am I missing something?

Does anyone know if apple's one-to-one program would be a good way to learn how to use logic pro or am I better off going to school to learn audio engineering or something?

Of course going to school would be a good option, but I want to know if one-to-one is also a good way to learn how to use logic pro. Has anyone been through the one-to-one program for logic pro and can say that they learned how to use logic pro well because of it?

For sure, one to one training, if given by a tutor who is capable, will hand you the means to build up self-confidence and will therefore let you operate the hard/software in an intelligent manner, instead of going for the trial and error method which has its pro's and con's too. Once you've passed this beginners phase you will make your own decisions intelligently and then you will also start to get experience and learn even from your mistakes. Something like that in theory and the rest is up to you!
Have a nice day

How do you get core audio to work with maverick. I'm using logic pro X

i'm having problem with core audio and maverick

It sounds as if you have altered the Tempo after recording the Audio ( but before selecting +Follow Tempo+ ).
This would make your Regions adapt from the old tempo to the new one, therefore changing their timing.
Here's a bit more info:
Audio files recorded in Logic Pro can follow the project tempo—inclusive of tempo changes—set in the global tracks.
+Note: These audio files can also follow the first key signature set in the global tracks.+
As an example: If you record a bass solo at 100 bpm, you can change the project tempo to 120 bpm and the bass solo will automatically be played back at the new tempo.
The function works with all audio files that were recorded in, or bounced/exported from, Logic Pro.
The function only works in the parent project (the project the audio files were created in). If you drag a file recorded in a given project to another project with the Finder, the file can not follow the project tempo.
Bounced or exported files can only follow the project tempo if the “Add resulting files to Audio Bin” option was enabled in the Export or Bounce window—prior to the bounce or export.
Files copied between two projects retain the ability to follow the project tempo.
The project’s tempo information is used to tag the beats in the recording. The function works best if your audio files match the project tempo as precisely as possible. The longer your audio files are, the more RAM is required for this functionality to work properly.
