Will Logic Express ever do non-realtime effects processing?

This is the single reason I don't use Logic. From what I have seen so far, I think the program is incredible, apart from the fact that for my needs, the lack of a sound file processing with preview function renders Logic unusable as a production tool. If this functionality were added I'd buy it, simple as that. Please Apple, make me happy. PLEASE.
thanks.

There is no reason at all to put the blame on the software, Michael. First and foremost, software is just a tool. Just like a regular tool, an electric drill for example: if one doesn't know how to use it properly and gets a serious trauma as a result, it's them to blame not the tool. It doesn't mean that the tool is a "piece of crap." That would be a wrong logical conclusion, if you know what I mean.
Now, when saving a project for the first time Logic always asks you what to do with external audio recordings, doesn't it? You can also configure the program in the Project Settings, instructing it on how to handle the Assets (recordings, samples, etc). What happened to you is simply that the Assets were not included in the projects. Next time you record, just tick the appropriate option before saving your files, ok?
Identical files of your project are nothing more than automatic backups that Logic creates when your work is in progress.
Now, let me explain what you did wrong (yes, you did!). Logic Express is a very sophisticated piece of software. It requires that you at least read getting started manual and skip through important parts of user manual, if you don't have the time to go through it thoroughly. So, you just began to record without knowing what happens when you use Logic and the peculiarities of its workflow. And the outcome is quite natural. Don't blame the software, blame yourself for it!
PS: Try looking for your recordings in users/<your user name>/Music/Logic. If you are lucky your files are there
Also, read "Working with Projects" section of the User Manual on p.137

Will Logic Express and Logic Pro X co-exist on my Mac?

I use Logic Express. If I buy Logic Pro X can I have both versions on my Mac? I assume I'll eventually move to the new version, but just incase I have issues?
thanks.

Mate, it will run absolutely fine... But like with most DAW's it will be hosting other plugins, so alot depends on what you have running at once. But an i5 w/8gb well probably take more than what you will throw at it if you're only just starting out - It's when you get into serious sound and mastering where you need high end processing power.
However, saying that you can bounce down realtime pluging into audio files so that free's your CPU up. Plus, in my experience Logic is very efficient as it disables plugins etc. when they're not producing sound.
Have you already got an audio interface?
The only issue you will have is screen size on a 13" MBP, i did post a get around to give you more resolution on here a while back, i will try and find it for you - Just incase you need more res. The Logic X interface is a little 'bigger' so tends to cram on a 13".

Will Logic Express 8 run if I upgrade my G3 B&W?

My system I'm running at the moment is: G3 PowerMac 400Mhz/1MB Cache
512MB PC100 RAM
ATI Rage128 16MB Video Card
MOTU PCI-324 Audio Card/MOTU 2408 MKII
Adaptec SCSI PCI Card
Western Digital 40GB IDE Hard Drive
Original Apple 9GB Hard Drive
40GB IBM 10000Rpm SCSI Hard Drive
17GB IBM 10000Rpm SCSI Hard Drive
I am looking at upgrading the Processor to: G4 1GHz Powerlogix ZIF Upgrade
1GB PC100 RAM
ATI Radeon 9200 Mac Edition 128MB
If I upgrade to this will my machine then run Logic Express 8, or will it do as it does now and just act like it is starting by bouncing the icon in the dock then stopping? At the moment I cannot run Adobe CS3 Design/Web Premium or my Logic Express 8. Please Help!!!

Hi Spencer,
As a general rule the minumum system requirements listed for a software are just that, the minimum required for the effective use of the program. If you make the changes you're talking about you may be able to run the program but it will probably not run well. I'm running Express 8 on a 1.83GHz intel iMac with 2 gigs ram. My current project involves only seven software instruments and six enternal midi tracks (which use almost no cpu) and I'm still nearing %70 on my cpu meter. Before I finish I will definately be freezing tracks to free up cpu. My system is much faster and double the ram of what you're talking about. If you really want to run Express 8 properly you will probably need to replace your computer.

Will logic express 9 be on the mac app store?

Hey guys,
i noticed aperture 3 on the app store for £49, whereas to buy the disc version it is £173
i was just wondering if they would be doing a similar thing with logic express 9,
thanks!
from alex,

Honestly? I hope not, because this forum would be overrun by newbies who take Logic for granted and don't consider it's a pro app with a steep learning curve. In this "brave new world" all the kids just no longer know how to spend time for even reading a simple manual, not to speak of the Logic user manual, which looks like rocket science to many of them, i assume.
Through all times, the art of making music, recording and mixing demanded time, effort, experience and patience. I learned it the hard way, and i really know what i got from Logic. It's fantastic. So i was willing to pay the price for it, because it's valuable for me.
Not that i want to be it expensive (i would like to have payed less, too), but i see the downsides, also. People who simply buy it because it's cheap (and not because they need it), but who don't know nothing about making music, recording and the most basic things and then run down the forum complaining how "complicated" this app is.
So, enough for the ranting. Surely i'd like to get the next version of Logic spending less money myself

Will Logic Express export all tracks in mono?

Will be mixing a Logic Express project in ProTools, but can't seem to find a way to export all tracks mono.
At first I thought I must be overlooking something obvious, but am beginning to think it's not possible.

I should add that if you do, in fact, actually want to export mono files you need to:
1) solo the track you want to export
2) change the output in the channel strip to mono
3) click on the bounce button on the output strip
4) repeat for each track

Will logic express 6 install/work on an intel machine?

don't need it to work, just install, so I can then install the Logic Pro 7.2 upgrade overtop of it. Any thoughts or ideas?

Hi,
The Logic Pro 7.2 update will only install on an existing Logic Pro 7 program.
You will have to first upgrade from Logic 6 to Logic 7, and THEN update to 7.2
Cheers
PS Logic 6 will not run properly on an Intel Machine.

Will Logic Express 8 change existing LE8 projects?

I just picked up a copy of LE9 and would like to update my current LE8 version.
Does anyone know if my current projects will be updated in any way? In other words, Will I still be able to open the projects in LE8 after I upgrade?
I have 2 computers in the house and one (my son's) will continue to use LE8 until I convince him to upgrade. I want to test it out on my machine first.
Thanks

LE9 will not convert LE8 projects unless you save them in LE9, in which case I would suggest doing a "Save As" using a different name, e.g. "My Song_9" instead of "My Song," immediately after opening the file. That way you would still have the original LE8 version and a new LE9 version of the same project.
Of course you could always just make copies of the projects to be safe.
You're going to love LE9.
By the way, it's also possible to open LE9 projects in LE8 but if you've used any of the new features, instruments, or presets they will not be available in LE8, as a pop-up window will inform you.

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.

Deleting plug ins + Logic Express

Hi I have recently bought Logic 8 studio and dont need logic express 7. i cant seem to delete the entire program. does anyone know how to completely wipe Logic express 7 from the system drive?
also im using Toontrack's DFH Superior drum sample plug in. i dont need this anymore and would like to uninstall this too. how do you unistall audio plug ins on a mac?
cheers

Josh since I've never used Logic I really can't say. I did however find this:
Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Logic Express. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application and its receipts, then install Logic Express and use Software Update to install additional updates. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Logic Express. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Logic Express. Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs and serial number handy before starting this.
Open the Applications folder.
Drag the Logic Express application to the Trash.
Go to /Library/Receipts.
In the Receipts folder, select the "Logic Express.pkg" file.
Choose View > as List to view the contents in a list.
Click the Date Modified column header so you can easily see all of the receipts that were installed at the same time as Logic Express.
Drag the Logic Express.pkg receipt to the Trash, as well as any other items that have the same modification date within 3 minutes of the Logic Express.pkg's modification date.
Click the Name column header to sort the list alphabetically.
Drag any other receipts whose names begin with "Logic Express" to the Trash.
Insert your Logic Express installation disc and install Logic Express.
When finished, use Software Update (under the Apple menu) to update your software to the latest version.
It concerns removing Logic Express and reinstalling as a troubleshooting measure. However I would assume you could use it as a guide in just plain uninstalling.

Using AKAI DPS16 wav. How do you import into Logic Express

i am using akai dps16 to record and burn as wav to disc but cant seem to get them to load into logic express so i can mix and process.do i need other software or am i just stupid ?

Hi,
You just need to read the AKAI manual, to see what format those CDs are being burned as. My best guess : PC data disc...

Does Logic Express support non-Apple Virtual Instruments?

Does LE support non-Apple VIs such as Native Instruments Kontakt and FXPansion BFD, or would i need Logic Pro to support that?

Hi,
Logic Express supports Audio Units plugins, both effects and instruments.
Both Kontakt and BFD are available as Audio Units; in case you want to use a VST instrument (Mac version, of course), you need the VST to Audio Unit adapter from fxpansion (see http://www.fxpansion.com/product-auadapter-main.php)

Logic Express 9 will not install.

Hi all,
I just bought a Macbook Pro 17" with Logic Express 9 and the program will not install and comes up with with "Errors where detected and installation has stopped. Contact the manufacture." It would get through to about 20 - 30% when it fails.
I have updated my mac with all the latest updates and I have only installed Adobe CS3 Master collection. CS3 did not install with succsses either and Encore failed to install. To be honest CS3 I have found never installs like it should so that does not seem out of the norm (Although it should be Adobe).

Hi There.
Did you manage to get this sorted? I have just bought a brand new Mac myself and cannot install Logic Express 8!
I have limited connectivity to the internet and don't know what to do.
If yo sorted the problem, would be great to know how you did it!
Cheers

Will Logic Studio AUs run in Logic Express 9

I have Logic Studio 8, with tons of additional AUs that I purchased. I am thinking of purchasing Logic Express 9, and was wondering if the AUs from Logic Studio will work in Logic Express 9.
Also, I hear, (but am not sure) that Logic Express doesn’t come with:
space and delay designer components or the Sculpture, EVB3 Tonewheel Organ, EVD6 Clavinet, and EVP88 Electric Piano synths
Since I have these programs listed above in Logic Studio, will they run in Logic Express if I have Logic Express installed on the same computer?
Thanks
Chaz

Hi
A few things to note:
Logic Express has been discontinued, so unless you can find someone who has an old copy for sale, you must now buy Logic Pro from the Appstore. There is NO upgrade path.
Logic Express did not include Sculpture, EVP88, EVD6, EVB3; they are in Logic Pro

Using non apple wav files in logic express 9

Does anyone know how i can use non apple files in logic express 9.i have put them in Bin but cannot get them to play via my midi keyboard.thanks

Actually i am not sure i really understand your question because it seems to me that in your subject heading you are asking about " wav " files which are audio files but in your message you refer to playing those files via your midi keyboard which indicates you are trying to play " midi " files and not " audio " files.
If you want to play a audio file:
Create and audio track in a project and the import the "wav" file into that audio track and it should play as an audio file when hit the play button in the transport controls.
Please clarify what type of file you want play using LExpress 9 to give us a better idea as to how to help you.
