Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Here's again something I made with the latest version of Logic:

It's a "mashup" of two well known songs with tons of effects.

Share and enjoy!

I just ordered a new G5 iMac and will need to move Logic and all of my songs
and settings over to the new iMac once it arrives. I'm looking for
suggestions and tips from anyone who's done this before. You know... Things
to look out for and things not to forget. I'm also going to need to
unregister my EWQLSO and reregister it on my new iMac. Any tips on that
would be appreciated too.

i think i would :

1. upgrade the OS using "Software Update". Many times they are shipped with 
slighly older OS's. Repair Disk permissions

2. Install any audio or midi interfaces. Run the AudioMidi utiity to set 
those up.

3. install Logic, and get updates via software update, run through the setup 
wizard, repair permisions.

4. Copy over your Logic song files.

5. Copy logic preferences folder ...to desktop to use for importing key 
commands

6. If you have made any custom patches for virtual synths or plugins, you'll 
need to think about that. Its a bit of a headache since they are stored in so 
many places. For example
     Library > Application Support > (plug name)
     Library > Audio > Plug Ins > Settings
     Applications Folder > (plug name)
     and other places, including the user version of all of the above.
   ( I think Apple needs to remember KISS (keep it simple stupid) in this 
regard)

7. Set up Autoload files.   Library > Application Support > Logic > Templates
     and user version of that ~/YourName/Application Support/Logic/Templates

8. You might need to change your screensets if the monitor size is different.

9. Remember you get 90 days of free support from Apple - although they won't 
answer any question, but just those related to your installation.

(I am writing this from memory so there may be some errors in the above, but 
generally I think thats the process).

Also, don't forget that OS X has a transfer wizard that uses firewire 
to automatically transfer all your system settings from the old to the 
new computer, including, I believe, iLife stuff like your addresses and 
emails.

If you are coming from an OSX computer, you can use the very cool OSX 
setup assistant.... it will move everything over for you from your 
older computer.   It saved me hours of work and worked perfectly for 
me.  It will not work if your older computer is before OSX (not sure 
how far back it goes in versions)

Ah. Good point!

That makes sense too.

I also just ordered the 7.1 update, so I guess I'll just go ahead and
install that first and then to the software updates.

Why to the desktop?

This sounds like a potential nightmare. Fortunately I haven't got a terrific
number of custom patches. At least I don't think I do. <grin>

I would have forgotten this one for sure.

I'm not happy with my screen sets. I'll probably start over.

Thanks for the tips!

This is *very* tempting. Although I'm sure it will also copy over settings
of programs I no longer have installed. Does this wizard give you the
opportunity to choose which settings are moved and which are not?

Thanks,

Kamm

P.S. Thanks to you too Brad.
