Logic Pro 6, Logic Express and Soundtrack 1.2

Re: Digi001 & Logic Pro/Express?

I currently run Pro Tools LE 6 with a Digi001 on a G4/500. Rock solid... in classic (blah!).
Digidesign has yet to offer Panther support for G4/001 config. They are too slow to adapt, so I'm looking to leave...

Anyone know if I can use my Digi001 with Logic?

While incompatible with the G5, you can download the LE update for the MBox/002 and it will run your 001. They won't necessarily support it or have fully tested it. I have it running and have had no problems. But even before this update, the CoreAudio drivers worked on other programs like Digital Performer, so I assume Logic would be the same.

But grab that update, it should work...

I think Apple should offer a Windows version of Garageband- eg. a low upgrade price for former Windows based logic users. Under $99.Apple could reserve its mac only deision with logic-release a Windows version dowqn the track. Say 10-15 years time.
 
after this uproar i don't think they would want to go back to providing Windows versions ever again. people might actually invade Cupertino.

I agree. I was hearing being used in some very dense mixes with orchestral samples, etc. and it sounded killer. But I also heard it on a solo piano and a nylon string guitar solo and it definitely wasn't perfect. For the money it's pretty darn good but if you need something that can hold up in a quiet situation you'd prob do better with Space Designer or better yet, a dedicated hardware unit. What was that rackmount convolution verb unit? I think it was made by Sony for some reason...

here it is: http://www.era-tv.com/catalogue/?type=file&f=Sony_DRE-S777.asp

Only 8 grand!🙁
 
why so much $$$?

was logic always this much money? 999 seems pretty expensive for audio software, and from the website I really don't see that many features that aren't in cubase sx or digital performer... i have cubase SL and it even does most of the things I read on the logic pro site (apple.com/logic) for only like 400 bucks. I dont understand. Someone with logic please explain.😕
 
Re: why so much $$$?

😱 Logic is a Pro audio/sequencing application with advanced midi environments, better plugins (reverbs, delays, virtual instruments). Logic has a much tighter sequencing engine and better sounding audio. You can run Pro-Tools HD and TDM hardware too, which attracts heavy weight producers and composers. At the end of the day you can use other tools to do the same thing, but as an original Notator user Logic in my opinion has worked much better over the years compared with Cubase. Considering the new release will include all the plugs it's a bloody bargin.

I orignally had to move from a PC to a Mac to keep my Logic Platinum at the latest version, not a cheap thing to do. I also bought the ESX24 and the EVP88, thank goodness I didn't buy any others. 🙄

There are not many high end places/people working with Cubase SX, the real pro rig is Pro-tools/Appogee hardware with Logic Platinum for writing.

don't you get it? if you already own logic platinum 5 or 6 - you get the whole shabang for 199 USD! that's pretty good - I think.

And - they will probably make the plug-ins buyable for Express-users...or others...

Then pray tell, how do those of us who already have Logic 6 and were considering adding Space Designer and, say ES2, now go about it? I'm not interested in paying $999 for something I primarily already have, nor do I wish to spend money on the B3 or clavinet simulators on offer.

Platinum list price was $949, so at most Pro should go for about $750.
 
didn't mean to be rude 😉 but the obvious advantages made me a bit grumpy 🙂

anyhow - I'd love a middle alternative:

Logic Express + Instruments for say 799 USD? Don't need Logic Pro...but I really need the instruments...

yes, thanks. asked the question as one without the time to navigate the several pages of others' comments before getting back to work. very exciting indeed.

was at namm yesterday and saw demo's of the upcoming instruments, namely the drum module (insane) - like a "machinedrum" built into logic; guitaramp sounds excellent - amplitube for free; and sculpture promises to be a very interesting instrument, especially considering the performance possibilities using the logic control's faders to control multiple parameters.

given sculpture's use of an x/y modulation "space" (like the hartmann neuron), and considering that apple's primarily a hardware company, and further considering (quite to my surprise) that there were scant logic control modules in sight at apple's booth, i wonder whether apple will be releasing its own controller for logic featuring faders, joysticks, etc. (like the digidesign controllers or steinberg's ID). hmmm...
