Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Welcome to the group. I think this issue was discussed a bit a few months ago. I have personally gotten away from partitions, and just have separate internal drives for samples, audio, and the system with Logic, so the Jam packs fit there - even thought I don't use them.

Hi,



I just bought Logic, and I just joined the group. A quick search of  

the archives turned up some replies to my questions, but I still need  

a bit more help. I don't quite understand the whole installation  

procedure for Logic.



I put the main applications on my system drive, as well as the analog  

and digital "extreme" synths. I put several other things on my system  

drive also, but I definitely can't remember all the file names.  

Basically, I unchecked whatever I knew would not fit (I had about 21  

Gigs left on my system drive when I began installation).



What I did not install (among other things) was the Jam Packs, since  

they are way too big to put on my system drive at present. I do have  

an external (partitioned) HD with 210 GB allocated to music. I  

assumed I could put the Jam Packs and any other sound libraries on  

the external drive. But the main install disc will not let me put the  

Jam Packs (or any other content from the first dvd) on an external  

drive. When I tried to put any of the disc 1 content on my external  

drive, I got red "!" errors, stating that the content could not be  

installed on that drive, but instead "must be installed on the  

running system."



So, I see that there are 6 other discs here--3 Audio Content install  

discs and 3 Jam Pack content discs. My questions:



1. What's the story with the Jam Pack content on the main install  

disc?  Is the content the same as on the separate discs? Since I  

could not install the Jam Packs onto my system drive from the main  

install disc, should I just install them on my external drive using  

the other discs?



2. Are the 3 Audio Content discs *only* for use with Soundtrack Pro  

(which I doubt I will use...at least not right away)? Or is there  

audio content here that I might want to use with Logic?



Any help getting this sorted out would be much appreciated. I don't  

want to overlook any essential content that I should install right away.



Powerbook G4, 1.67 MHz, 1.5 GB RAM, 80 GB HD (only about 13 Gigs free  

now)

I'd call myself a serious hobbyist, definitely not a pro. I'm  

completely new to Logic. If anyone needs any other info. about my  

setup, additional applications I'll be using with Logic, or anything  

else, I'll be happy to provide it if it will help sort out any of the  

above questions.



Thanks,



Jeff
