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:

Will Logic Pro 9 run on a 2007 4GB ram, 320GB hard drive, Intel 2 duo 2ghz mac mini?

"Will Logic Pro 9 run on a 2007 4GB ram, 320GB hard drive, Intel 2 duo 2ghz mac mini?"
I am looking for the cheapest way possible to run Logic Pro 9 and will purchase a second hand mac mini if it will run the software.
Thank you!

Yes it will.. I would recommend you use the combination of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and LPv9.1.5 (or 9.1.8 if you have to..) with that particular hardware to get the best performance out of it... I would not recommend running any OS X version higher than 10.6.8 as each new version of OS X from then onwards.. placed a bigger performance hit on the hardware... and frankly, less stability with LP9.
As to how well it will run on that hardware.. will more depend on the sort of loads you place on it.. depending on the type and content of the music you wish to compose... It will run and you should be able to create reasonable sized projects.. but again, it all depends on the plugins used.. the number of them... the number of tracks and so on... so to give a more precise answer is difficult.

Mac Mini Dual Core vs PowerMac DP G4

I am considering purchasing a Mac Mini Dual Core to replace my PowerMac DP 1.25Ghz G4 . I'm worried whether I will be happy , and if it will be faster than my G4. The app's I run most are univeral binary or will be soon , so I'm thinking , yes. But I would feel more comfortable if I could get some solid input from some power Mac user's experienced or knowledgeable with the new Mac Mini
PowerMac DP 1.25 Ghz , 1.5GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.5) Dual 80GB Seagate Barracuda drives

I can't imagine that an Intel Mac mini would ever be "faster" than a dual-processor G4 tower for most operations. The comparisons that Apple advertises, like "4X faster" are all against single-processor PowerPC Macs. Mac OS X does a good job at managing dual PowerPC processors.
Although the new Intel Mac mini now has a faster system bus, you're MUCH more limited by the use of portable-size hard drives (for example, your PowerMac probably has over a 100GB drive to start with and could have 500GB without much cost). If you want to max-out the RAM on the new Intel Mac mini to 2GB, it will cost you $300 more. So, a 1.66GHz Core Duo Mac mini with a 120GB hard drive and 2GB of RAM is $1,224.00 (US). If I were you, I would, without question, keep the PowerMac and invest in a newer Super Drive and/or hard drive(s) before giving it up.

Mac mini Dual core vs. G4 500MHz Dual tower w/ non native applications

I have a Power Mac G4, Dual 500MHz. I wanted to upgrade to the G5 tower, but am getting concerned that I will be buying an obsolete computer as Apple migrates to Intel. I use Microsoft Office and Adobe's Creative Suite 2 (CS2) primarily on my G4 and am really tired of the slow performance. I was thinking of buying the new Mac mini dual core and add an additional 7200 RPM external Hard Drive to improve the drive performance until the new Intel towers come out. I know that the applications I use are not written for the Intel processor. Does anyone know how well these applications perform on the Intel mini vs. my old old G4?

In a year or so, there will probably still be more PPC Mac users than Intel ones, and I doubt that any smart company will end support for PPC Macs that early. Apple provided developers with a way to create Universal Binaires for two reasons : to avoid the confusion introduced by two versions (PPC & Intel) of the same app, and to force (i.e. strongly encourage) developers to support both platforms for quite some time.
There's no doubt that a PowerMac G5 will run Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5), and probably the following version too. CS3 will be Universal, and will thus run at full speed on both PowerPC and Intel-based macs, and there's a chance that CS4 could be Universal too. If you buy a PowerMac now, it probably won't be outdated before three years or more.
While the Intel Core Duo is much faster than a G4 and quite a bit faster than a single G5, I think that a Dual G5 could be about as fast as they are (maybe a bit slower "per-gigahertz", but Core Duos don't reach 2.3/2.5 Ghz yet anyway) ...
Regarding the fact that Office runs well under Rosetta but not CS2, that's because CS2 is a much more demanding suite of applications, which probably features a lot of AltiVec code (software sepcifically optimized for the G4/G5's Velocity Engine - which wasn't originally supported by Rosetta and now is, but translating PPC code into Intel x86 isn't fast, so translating code that's supposed to run very close to the processor itself must cause an even grater performance loss). Even though Photoshop probably won't run slower than on your dual 500 Mhz, it probably won't run much faster, so if you don't want to get a PPC Mac, then I suggest that you keep your G4 for now and wait until Apple releases the next generation of PowerMacs.
On the other hand, one of the reasons why your G4 is slow with Photoshop could be because you don't have enough RAM. Most people who have used the latest version consider that 512 MB is a minimum, and 1 or 2 GB are recommended. If you only have 256 MB or so in your Mac, why don't you just add some memory and wait until the next PowerMacs ?

I would opt for one 8 GB stick so you would have 10 GB. total. This says really no practical advantage in dual channel memory

Mac Mini dual core or Mac Mini quad core server for normal use ?

Hello
I am looking to replace my desktop work computer from my 2011 i7 quad core 2.0 MBP for a Mac Mini because it was actually made for desktop use and my minidisplayport - dvi adaptor just broke ( I think because to many unplugs and plugs from the laptop to the monitor ) .
I work in Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Aptana, Netbeans, open 20 + tabs in chrome, firefox so I need a bit of performance
I have no use for Mac OSX Server, I just want to be at least as fast as my MBP. I can see that the 999$ Mac mini has the same processor as my MBP ( 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 ) but no dedicated video card. Also, the 800$ Mac mini has a video card BUT just a dual core - 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 .
What do you think I should get ? I don't play games, I have windows for that anyway. Would the dedicated video card make much of a difference ? ( does photoshop or mac use it much - openCL etc. )
Thanks!

You might also consider the Apple only available Mini
which has a 2.7 GHz i7 dual core which has dedicated
graphics. Also, all the 2011 i7 processors (Sandy Bridge)
are hyperthreading.
As for dedicated graphics, they are really only needed
for high end gaming or 3D rendering apps. It will
make no difference with the software that you mention,
as they are more CPU intensive.

Why won't Logic Pro 9 run on my Mac running OSx?

When launching program get message "You can't run this version of the application Logic Pro with this version of Mac OS X. You have Logic Pro 9.0.0."
And yet Mainstage, bundled with Logic Pro 9.0, will run.
Is there an update or upgrade I need to purchase in order to run this VERY expensive program?
Is this problem related to the fact that I originally purchased the Logic Express and then the Pro upgrade?
I ran this program on my Macbook Pro unti lit finally died after 6 years of hard use.
Help?!?!

Hi
Logic 9.0.0 will not run under Lion. You need to run Software update, or go download the necesssary updateers directly from Apple Support.
Note that, for the updaters to work, the Logic Application *MUST* be a) in your Applications folder, and not in any sub-folder, and b) it must be named "Logic Pro" without any numbers or spaces after the name.

How will Logic Pro X run with a 2006 iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.16 GHz, 4GB ram)?

I have a 2006 iMac 2.16 GHz, 4GB ram, Intel Core 2 Duo. I am not planning on using plug-ins, I am a beginning artist and Logic Pro seems to have more than what I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Will Logic Pro X run on the latest MBA with i5 and 8GB RAM?

Hi,
want to buy the new Logic Pro X but I´m not sure if it will rum smoothly on my MBA 2013 with i5 and 8GB Ram.
I saw some very promising posts on the i-net regarding Logic Pro 9 which seems to run nice. But does the latest version of Logic require more hardware power?
Can anybody share any experience on this?
thanks!

Logic Pro X has got some system requirements, and your MacBook meets all of these requirements > https://www.apple.com/logic-pro/specs/
Have a look at the Logic forum and read experiences. Also, there are reviews over the Internet, but if Logic Pro 9 works properly in that MacBook, Logic Pro X will also run properly

Running Logic Pro 9 32bit on Mac Mini with 4GB of RAM and still crashing

Why is Logc crashing and giving me "Memory Low" errors all the time? I am running 4GB of Mem with Logic Pro 32bit. I currently have a 27 track project and it is crashing all the time. Yet the sample "Killers" project is 80+ tracks and a video and Logic has no problem, I don't get it? What am I doing that is sucking up so much memory and how do I fix it?

Because your memory is low?

Try running Logic at 64 bit. I've noticed that even with 4 GB RAM it does make a difference with "memory low" projects.
I currently have a 27 track project and it is crashing all the time. Yet the sample "Killers" project is 80+ tracks and a video and Logic has no problem, I don't get it?
I get it. The number of tracks is not a very constant unit of measurement, it depends what kind of tracks they are, what plugins are loaded etcetera. You can have memory problems with 10+ sampler tracks, and room to spare with 100+ external MIDI tracks, to give a simple example.
What am I doing that is sucking up so much memory and how do I fix it?
How on earth would anybody but you know what you are doing?
So what are you doing?

LE 9.0 performance on Mac Mini (dual core) Vs. iMac (quad core)

I am in the process of evaluating options to replace my 2007 MBP with a faster DAW. I am on a budget so while I am looking for performance improvements over what I have, I don't need overkill either. I am considering the 2011 Mac Mini (2.5 GHz, dual core) and the 2011 iMac (2.5 GHz quad - core). Whichever configuration I choose, I will bump up RAM to 8 GB.
I use LE 9.0 and a Presonus Firestudio Project and would like to know whether what kind of performance improvements I will see between the two options I am considering. I use a lot of plugins, and an external Firewire 800 drive for recording. Obviously with the Mini, I will have to buy an optical drive as well. I already have two monitors, keyboard and mouse.
The only thing that worries me about the Mac Mini is the slower 5400 rpm hard drive. While I plan on using an external drive for recording, I am concerned because of the number of plugins and sample files that need to load during recording / playback.

Audio output on Mac Mini Dual Core

The Mac Mini outputs both stedigital 5.1 audio.
MPEG4 video files encoded in H264 AAC 5.1 format do not output any audio when the Mac Mini is connected to a standard stereo amplifier.
Is there a way to force the output to standard Stereo instead of 5.1 digital?
RV

QuickTime Player and iTunes will really only play stereo without some additional hardware and software. The DVD Player.app and VLC Media Player can play AC-3 surround sound, but if you're not using them, it doesn't matter. You might try VLC. They should all automatically downsample to stereo if you don't have the hardware to play surround sound. I've never used Handbrake, though, maybe I don't understand how it works, but if you're encoding the audio from the DVD to AAC it should play audio whether you've got an AC3 amplifier or not.
