Will Logic 7.0 work on intel Mac w/ Lion

if upgarded to the latest version of 7.2.3? Any know if there are issues if it is installed on my MacBook Pro 2.8. GHz Intel Core i7 running 10.7.3?

I don't actually know if it will run on Lion or Not but there are other issues.
The version 7 (Logic 8 as well) install routines draw on Apple's Rosetta PPC emulation software that was included in Leopard and could be downloaded for Snow Leopard, Lion does not have nor will have Rosetta emulation.
So, while v7.2.3 may run in Lion it will not install.
This is not to say it couldn't be moved over from another computer... then there is the matter if the dongle/key would work or not.

Will distributed audio processing work on Intel Macs?

I'm currently anticipating that I'm going to need more processing power to run virtual instruments and plug-ins in Logic Pro 7. The obvious solution is to get a second G5 and run it as a node, but I won't need it for a while yet. I might be able to put it off until the new Intel-based Macs come out next year, but then here's the key question: Does anyone know whether the Intel-based PowerMacs (and PowerBooks, for that matter...when they arrive) will be compatible as distributed audio processing nodes with a PowerMac G5 (PPC) host?

Macs is Macs. The processor will make no difference. It's the OS that counts.
How can you be certain? I have asked the same question elsewhere and the response I got was, "Even if anybody did know the answer to your question they would be developers who are under a strict Non-Dislcosure Agreement. You'll most likely just have to wait and see."
I'm not at all certain that it's a given. I'm not arguing your point that "It's the OS that counts." I agree. Nevertheless, we're talking about a significant change in fundamental hardware architecture, so the question as to whether a MacIntel and a PPC G5 will have the same interoperability as two G5s still seems reasonable to me. I don't doubt that it's possible, but I suspect that the MacIntel node machine might have to pay a price in CPU overhead for making the translation. After all, its software will be different.
I'll probably get another G5 anyway. I mean, it's not like it's going to be obsolete. I can run Logic Pro 7 in its current configuration for a looonnnggg time before I exhaust its capabilities. I'll run into hardware limitations long before I ever run into a software limitation.

Will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?

hi there guys,
will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?
I'm not sure if my machine is 64 bit - it is the current model base mac mini.
Many thanks for any help you can offer !
Simon

SkiJumptoes is right. 4GB is not enough to comfortably run Logic X.
Your Mac Mini will need DDR3 SODIMM RAM. That website seems incredibly steep though. I guess that's the price of finding it for you. You're better off going to any below:

Trying to load pre-2006 lso files into Logic 8 on my new intel Mac Pro

I'm trying to load pre-2006 lso files into Logic 8 on my new intel Mac Pro, but they crash the app every time. files saved 2006 and later load OK. Anybody shed any light on this or know of a fix (other than the laborious work-around of re-saving all early lso's in logic 8 on the PPC and physically moving them via a portable drive to the new machine)?
(BTW, those files also crash the Logic 7 installed on the intel Mac.)

Upon further work with my migration, I find I was incorrect in the time frame assertion of these failed files: apparently, the creation/modification dates have nothing to do with it and the reality is that some files fail at random, while others load just fine. right now it looks to be about 50/50 Beats me why this is.
Anyway, for those interested, I've discovered a very helpful key to the quick processing of file data for a plethora of files (i. e. re-saving the "bad" lso files as Logic 8 projects on the older CPU and moving them over to my new machine), and that is the 'control key/launch' of the app. I hadn't realized that Apple had added this feature to Logic to enable easier work on multiple song files when one does not require the audio.
For those who don't know about it, the 'control key/launch' provides an option to disable the core audio at app start-up, thus allowing files to load instantly without loading the plug-in library files associated with tracks - great for copying MIDI data between song files, or in this case, re-saving a batch.
Still puzzled, though, as to why so many older lso files crash Logic when they attempt to load on my new CPU.

You run Windows in Parallels or Fusion. Then in Windows you install the program.

Ack! AU plugins won't work on Intel Macs!

I know this is already known, but does anyone know what to do about the fact that all our old AUs won't work on Intel Macs? I just got a new mini and wanted to use the good old C3 compressor and it wasn't there, even though I had installed it in the usual place.
I'm not even gonna bother trying to add Guitar Rig 2 until I hear that it works.
Any news on new ports of C3? Or any new Intel-compatible AUs?

Hi chris,
You need to check all the sites where you got your plugins to see if they are Intel ready (most should be in the next couple of months).
Check out this thread for a bunch of free plugs too (some of wich are Intel Compatible). Thanks go to Warrior Ant for the VAST majority of these posts.

Will a USB Superdrive work with my mac booc pro?

lorifromgermany,
if you have a non-Retina MacBook Pro, the following command could allow a USB SuperDrive to work with it.
Log in as an administrative user, open Terminal, run the following command within Terminal, close Terminal, and then restart your MacBook Pro:
sudo nvram boot-args="mbasd=1"

Will non-universal-binary Logic+plugins run on an Intel Mac?

Hi,
this may sound like a dumb question, but I haven't found a straightforward answer on this question yet: will my Logic 7.1 (not Universal Binary) install on an Intel-Mac?? Our local Mac store expected that Rosatta will take care of everything, and that only performance will suffer a bit.
That would mean that all non-universal-binary plugins would run, too??!!
Just curious...
Thanks!
Regards,
Jaap
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9) Logic Express

Hi Jaap,
In a word, nope!
It seems you're more informed than your local dealer, :o)
Rosetta will not handle the plug-ins & third party (AU) need the (U B) upgrades. You need the 7.2 (U. Binary) to run logic on the new Intel machines.
Best regards,
Jorge

TUTORIAL: How to make PPC Plug-Ins work on Intel Macs!

Hi guys, I wanted to share this brillant method with you all, collect ideas and create a list of Plug-Ins, you have succeeded to make work (I guess nearly all PPc Plugs will work this way but lets better stick to facts). Maybe there is a way to work with more than 1 Plug - Feel free to report and contribute! Kudos goes to a dear friend of mine... Let' share some power...
"I noticed some people complaining about not being able to use Trilogy and Atmosphere on Intel Macs. There's a tricky way to do it that takes about ten minutes to set up the first time and after that is easy. It probably works for other PPC-only instruments as well.
Here's the outline: OSX for Intel contains a layer called Rosetta, which runs PPC software that hasn't been updated. (You might run Microsoft Word via Rosetta and not even know it.) In general, Rosetta is no good for audio software: you can't use it for a sequencer or a recording application. But it's good enough for a lightweight plugin host like Rax, which does nothing but serve as a host for Atmosphere. So you can load Atmosphere into Rax via Rosetta, then run it alongside a UB sequencer like Live or Logic.
The only tricky part is connecting the two together. You need to get MIDI out of your sequencer and into Rax, and you need to get audio out of Rax and back into the sequencer. The MIDI can go via an internal IAC bus. The audio can go via the handy freeware audio-routing utility Soundflower.
Here's how to set up:
-- download Rax version 1.2.3. (Version 2 and up won't work.) You can find it at http://macmusic.org/software/view.php?id=395 . Use the serial in SerialBox to install.
-- download and install Soundflower from http://www.cycling74.com/downloads/soundflower
-- in Audio MIDI Setup, create a new IAC bus. Instructions on how to do this are at http://www.spectrasonics.net/news/Creating-an-IAC-Bus.html . Name it Rhino. (You can name it whatever you want, but in these instructions I'm going to call it Rhino.)
Now you're ready to go.
-- Open your sequencer and create a MIDI track and an audio track. Set the MIDI track's output to Rhino. Set the audio track's input to Soundflower 2ch.
-- Open Rax and load Atmosphere. In the Preferences, go to the Audio tab and set Audio Device to Soundflower 2ch. Now go to the MIDI tab and, under MIDI Inputs, make sure Rhino is the only thing checked.
You should now be able to send MIDI from your sequencer to Atmosphere, and then hear the audio through the sequencer. One last stage is to sync Atmosphere to your sequencer's MIDI clock, so that tempo-synched effects will work properly.
-- Still in Rax Preferences, on the MIDI tab, set the MIDI Clock dropdown menu to Rhino. Close the Preferences window. At the top of the main Rax window, make sure the Ext. Sync box is checked. The Tempo window should say 0, which means Rax is following the sequencer's master tempo.
And you're done. Save the Rax document and you can open Atmosphere with a single click. Trilogy works the exact same way, obviously.
If you want to use multiple instruments from Rax, you'll need to use SoundFlower 16ch and send MIDI on a different MIDI channel for each instrument (using the same IAC bus).
Anyone who's tried this, please post your results in this thread. Especially, try out other PPC instruments, and try using multiple instruments at the same time, and let us know how it works for you."
Maybe one of the Admins wants to sticky this
With my very best,
Vic.

There's another shortcut I've used successfully in order to access 'old' PlugIns on an Intel MBP :
Just use Logic 6 - and take full advantage o' that ole rotatin' rosetta
Meaning : Other than with native Logic versions 7 and 8, Logic 6 has to be fully emulated by the rosetta engine, and if your intel mac is fast enough, it does so very well - thus including all PPC PlugIns you still may have installed. Also works fine for PlugIns that were converted via FXpansion's VST-AU manager.

Eastwest Gold Bundle doesn't work on intel macs

I got Eastwest Symphony Orchestra Gold Bundle today and just found out that it wouldn’t work with Logic 8 because it’s not Universal Binary. Now what's the best way to solve this problem? I've read that I need to spend another $300 on Kontakt just to HOST the eastwest in Logic 8 in MacBook Pro, aside of just spending $600 on the Gold Bundle. You know that's quite mad. I got the Logic Studio for $150 (academic in university store) and it works so well without any registration hassle. By contrast Eastwest comes with out of date VISE installer, tons of updating requirements, multiple visits to Native Instruments, and after all it doesn't work in your DAW if you use Intel Macs, which includes EVERY apple computer in stores right now. How can people of Eastwest sleep at night?
Anyways, I'm looking for solutions. Any work around? Please help! And thank you!
Tim

This probably doesn't help but...
If you do end up forking out the $$ for Kontakt, you will have purchased a FANTASTIC program that also happens to include a pretty extensive sample library. I do like EWQL Gold better than the VSL subset that comes with Kontakt, but the VSL subset is only a part of what comes with Kontakt.
In any case, to really get the best of EWQL Gold, you will be much better off if you get Kontakt or Play. The Kompakt software is OK, but for a whole orchestra, it is much more convenient to have a full sampler IMHO.

Project Manager working on intel mac??

I recently upgraded to Logic Pro from Express.It's working well except for project manager. It seems not to recognize
Logic song files. I have a folder called projects with my Logic songs and audio files.When I scan it the audio files are found but the songs aren't.As result if I choose select unused audio files all my audio files are selected. So far I've deleted the PM folder,repaired,permissions,uninstalled
logic express and uninstalled/reinstalled Logic and still the problem persist.
I'm wondering if anyone on an intel mac has it working?

I'm suffering the same problems with PM since I moved my system to a new Mac Pro and copied my projects from an old external firewire disk to the new 500 Gb internal disk.
Logic song files are not longer recognized by the Project Manager...
Please keep me informed about your discoveries on this matter. I will.

Can't get these games to work on Intel Mac!!!!

http://www.the7thwar.net/ventcore/downloads
Sorry, I know this is the wrong place to post this. But I cannot get these games to work on my computer, and I want them to in such a bad way. If anybody can figure this out, I will lick the soles of their shoes. I apoligze once again, but I don't know where the proper place to post would be.

I'll talk with my head producer.
in case you're interested I'm one of the geeks who's
worked for Bungie to port their software to OSX.
1. I know that Halo is Universal
2. Oni will be soon.
3. I'm not sure about Myth (It's on OSX)
4. The rest are a bit old...
regards,
Pete.
That's **** cool. I love the whole Marathon, PID, Halo interconnectedness motif. If you could give some kudos to the men responsible for that on my behalf that'd be great.
Do you think that there would be an emulator available anywhere, or is it too soon yet for an Intel Mac to have that kind of support from independant parties. Thanks for the reply!

How well do windows work in Intel Macs?

On a scale of 1 to 5, 5 meaning excellent, in your experience how well does windows truly work in your mac? Would you describe it as sufficient, tolerable, wonderful or a waste of time?

I have to take points away, 98% out of 100% for lack of drivers and driver support,
Lack of good fan thermal management.
Otherwise, fine.
The lack of the PC BIOS and use of UEFI instead, which also is what mandates the use of GPT and therefore a "hybred" MBR.
I wish I had a good link to Geekbench for comparison of MacBook Pro models running both Mac OS and Windows, and then there is a section for PC hardware.
You will also see the stray Hackintoush models thrown in as well.
Windows graphic drivers
File system and disk management handling
support for SSD
Windows on those laptops will use the part of the drive platter/tracks that is the slowest, often 60% of what the outer tracks achieve.
Getting games, drivers, audio needs a bit "hand-holding" but then most PCs have their own issues as well. RAM timing, voltage, compatibility, etc. to marry memory + motherboard + BIOS to get everything right.
All depends on the Mac. What you do or use. The quality of the applications etc but that is more "OS" issue than platform + hardware.
My Mac is a workstation and is so easy and similar to a PC mid to full tower EXCEPT it will run warmer due to lack of fan control.
Windows 8 may only be in Preview for now but it is very nice and promising. Some eye candy, but real tweaks under the hood gone in. Could be as much as there was from Vista (cough) to Windows 7. And 8 now in its state is as much or more than Windows 7 RC was, so that is a lot.
I would say "it" is all those things you described. Sometimes all of that on the same mac.
But if you really run Windows primarily which many do, but like the hardware, and the Air is nice and cost is impossible to beat.... might want a true Windows PC laptop. Thunderbolt technology is something Intel has said this month to the PC. Along with PCIe 3.0 and SATA 3 6G. SATA3 had a bumby year on PCs and Apple didn't escape, 2011's have had their problems and why they have refreshed and changed chips and design so many times this year alone. Kudos.
If you want to use SSD, mixed bag. Windows has better support. Apple has not always supported 3rd party and yet been slow (now changed or transitioning). And even Intel SSDs had to have firmware updates for everyone, and once more, to work properly on Mac hardware. Complex little buggers.
Don't generalize. How does CS5.5 run on XYZ? there too depends on RAM, processor/cores speed and efficiency, and type;/number of drives.
How do games play? again, some of them get lost and confused by the Intel 3000 graphics and don't switch to the discreet graphic chip the same or as well.

Will Power PC software work on Intel?

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a used intel imac duo - I have a 17" G4 PB - will all the software I have on my old system work on the intel machine? Why do I now see versions labeled Universal OR Power PC?
Thanks,
JHF
17" G4 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi JHF
Most applications written for the PowerPC will work correctly on an Intel Mac, thanks to a background feature called Rosetta, which translates the PPC code for the Intel CPU. However, this code will still not be optimised for Intel, and so some apps will see a slowdown in performance. This slowdown will vary between applications. For example, Adobe Creative Suite 2 generally performs poorly on Intel Macs.
Universal versions have been rewritten to make use of both types of processor, and will generally run better on Intel Macs than the non-Universal version.
