Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I'm planning to do the upgrade to Logic 9 today from Logic Pro 8.  Is it 
necessary to also install all the loops, etc. included in the box, or 
are they the same as what I already have?  Also, will installing them 
mess up the loops and other audio material that I already have installed?

The upgrade will handle it al for you.  Basically the v9 UPDATE  
Installer looks at what you have and updates what is required and  
installs the NEW loops but leaves the old ones alone and does not  
reinstall them apart from maybe the odd addition or updated file.

The update still takes quite a while as there is still a lot of stuff  
to install so be prepared for a long install (read: a few hours) but  
it is no where as long as the original Apple Logic Studio v8 install  
that I did (read: many, many, many hours) .

And also V9 i upgrade leaves Logic 8 there just in case and for old  
files etc..

NB  but if you run it (v8 after v9 ) it does an authorization style  
question dialog ..   Then when you open v9 again after using v8 that  
does the same there..  But only asks once per session swap.   Although  
every time you change which version you are using it asks the same  
question so if for some reason you are jumping back and forth between  
v8 & v9 it is a pain.   Silly really but that is life I guess and at  
least it does help to remind us what version we are starting.   Not  
that there is necessarily any real reason to jump back and forth -  
except maybe for compatibility with clients and other service  
providers that may not have v9 yet?    Yep there is no direct backward  
compatibility just like there never was from v7 to v8
