I´m studying this now. They reduced the price. Bigtime! The upgrade/update price is pretty cool. They let the 5 and 6 owners back in on the fun.

A lot of the ideas have been axed here.. they have added the standalone audio editor app.. lotsa content.. the Mainstage app and various improvements. The asset management bit that have been hailed as the big thing in Logic pro 8 is gone. Still, we see from the Final Cut Studio pack what that is realy about.I reckon they have modules for intergration with Logic too.

I´m sure they haven´t killed the old deep Logic even though they have opted for a single window workflow. I´m also pretty sure the new Logic will appreciate a lot of LCD real estate. Cool

This bundle do seem like a serious contender for the Digidesign. Logic 8 + RME audiointerfaces ( like the Fireface 800 or the cards and breakout boxes ) or the Apogee Symphony stuff is a killer combo. The surround sound stuff in the new bundle seems also quite promising. This is great. I´m buying this one ASAP.

it looks like Logic Studio will not require a dongle, but will be limited to two specific machines per user; but those upgrading from previous versions will still need to use dongles.

Shocked

Hi Guys,

I installed the upgrade last week but unfortunately due to disasters at work haven't had much time to play with it.

Single window is quite good, basically most things are now where you want them, you can also work in the old way with loads of separate windows if you like that sort of thing.

Also you don't need to bugger around in the environment much any more but the ability is still there for power users or masochists.

Performance for me seems better, especially with third party plugins, other people are saying performance if worse, especially on non intel machines.

Totally stable so far, I have had one crash with the virus TI plugin which seems to be in-compatible, people with BFD are also having problems.

Basically for the upgrade price it is a must have, you won't be disappointed, the new delay is worth the upgrade price (if you like multi-tap delays that is). Add in Soundtrack and Mainstage and its a bargain.

Cheers

Andy

I´m still waiting for my upgrade package. Sad

The fact that it does not need the dongle after the installation and registration also means that I can have old Logic 7 on in use? That´s not too bad. Very Happy

Logic 8 is a little more CPU hungry than Logic Pro 7, but is really more easy.
Interface is in some way similar to Digital Performer with a single window.

Very interesting is Main Stage.
Logic 8 works very slow on my G4 1,25GHz, and Main Stage doesn't works, a message says that my video card doesn't support OpenGL.(!)
Now from Apple I'll download the MS upgrade 1.0.1 ...
Finally I can leve the USB XSKey on my G4 where I use Logic Pro for multitrack recording.
At home I use a MacPro: no more forget the key and make 15 miles to get it...

All my plugs works well with Logic Studio (UAD, Sonnox, Reaktor)

Finally!

Hooray!

Make sure to post a "low down" Very Happy

So far this is looking really good. Seems like I´ll run the L8S on my MB and the MacPro (dual 2.66 Core2 + 16 gigs of ram ) + 2 x 20" widescreen LCDs. I´m keeping old L7 on the G5. I´ll keep the G5 on 10.4x and will install 10.5 on the MP.

Logic Studio has some problem on my MacPro 2,66 with 6GB Ram and 2TB HDs.
I hope an upgrade coming soon.
I use Logic Pro 7 as a multitrach recorder on a G4 1,25GHz and MOTU 24 and 2408MkII interfaces for a total of 32 ins.

Do you think Logic Studio will work better on Leopard?

elektro80 · Posted: Thu Oct 25, 2007 3:36 am Post subject:

If L8S will work better in Leopard? Yes, I think so..or rather.. it will after a few tweaks. It is not unreasonable to expect that there are several almost finished updates for the Pro Apps as well as Logic and 10.5 in order to tune certain issues. We´ll see after 10.5 is out tomorrow. I do expect some general pro apps updates realy fast .. say this weekend or so..

smokris spent his voucher from the iphone on this, and let me use the second install. i'm kind of daunted by it, though. i was just getting the hang of ableton live, but unfortunately he doesn't have an extra install of that, and i don't have an extra wad of cash sitting around Sad

.

so, any tips on getting started with logic?
