When I went to download my 9.1 update, I was asked for my serial #. I typed in the serial # that shows when I click on About Logic under the Logic > Preferences tab. I got a message saying that that was not the correct Serial #. I assume this is because this is the serial# for my Logic Pro 9 Upgrade. They probably want my original Serial # which was many years ago. How do I find out my original Serial #?

I had similar issues relating to to 9.0 and 9.0.1 update but not 9.1 update. On loading 9.0 I was asked for the v8 serial no. Then on entering the v9 number, when asked, with a simple cut and paste from my serial no file it did not work, but a retyping of the number did (both identical). On loading 9.0.1 there were various problems that did not allow the file to download, errors saying that software update was not required, however by persevering, it eventually did work. On loading 9.1, no issues at all. Someone, somewhere suggested an issue with /users/receipts, but I cannot confirm or deny. Be interesting to hear of any similar issues. BTW, hardware is both intel, and non intel, both with previous Logic installs. --- In Logic_Cafe@yahoogroups.com, Dennis Gurwell <dennisgu@...> wrote:

This article which is linked from Apple directly : http://www.loopinsight.com/2010/01/19/logic-pro-64-bit-the-talk-of-the-namm-music-show/ makes this little comment : "One problem plug-in makers face is with the Pace Anti-Piracy technology. Currently, Pace requires plug-ins to be 32-bit, so some plug-ins may take longer than others before making the move to 64-bit. Pace declined to comment for this story." Also the only advantage of 64 bit seems to be huge mega sample sets. However, I am suspicious that there may be a performance hit when using data twice as big or having processing on these double large integers.

Check http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/logic107 Steve H does a very quick and rough demo of the 64Bit Logic and shows teh advantage of 64bit plugins.

I tried to change Logic to 64 bit, and I did not have the option to uncheck 32 bit when I opened "Get Info" of Logic. I have Logic Pro 9.0.2, and I am running OS X 5.8. Question, does this work only with OS X 6.0 and higher? V/r, Mr. Hicks --- On Thu, 1/28/10, daveduffusau <dmduffus@...> wrote:

Thanks for the link to the video site. However, after spending 5-10 minutes watching both videos, all I found is that they are demonstrating in a painfully slow way what I originally said in the first sentence of my post - which is that yes 64 bit is needed if you load sample instrument after SI after SI after SI. But I did not see anything about whether Logic was any more efficient in general. And in fact, it brings up another headache, and one of the main reasons why I am abandoning a lot of software instruments and plugins - because Apple changes the OS or Logic, and then your plugins don't work and you have to get updates. It says they will still run now, and even if this is true, I guarantee that Apple will soon drop support for 32 bit plugs in a year or so, and they will stop working completely. Some companies are cool about this - like UAudio and PSP .... but other ones like Waves and NI make you buy updates. With Waves you have purchase thier "WUP" just to get the updates - maybe $200/year. And I have bought various versions of NI instruments to get a new version that works with a new processor or whatever, and then found that the old songs with those instruments won't open and I lose all my patches and arrangements. I personally found its a huge waste of money to buy so many instruments and plugins - and to pare it down to a small number that you can stay with. ===================================================== Watch these videos and you may change your mind regarding your suspected performance hit ;-) .... --- In Logic_Cafe@yahoogroups.com, GAmoore@... wrote: > > > Also the only advantage of 64 bit seems to be huge mega sample sets. > However, I am suspicious that there may be a performance hit when using > data twice as big or having processing on these double large integers. > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I don't have access to any guitar players, and I need a strumming guitar part in a song. It won't be soloed, but I do need to be able to choose my own chords. The acoustic guitars in Logic are a bit rubbish as far as I can see, and the ones that add chords have a very limited range of chords (unless of course I am missing something, which I might well be). Can anyone suggest an affordable and reasonably good and simple was for a non guitarist to get something that sounds reasonably authentic? The other thing I am failing with at the moment is a driving bassline. To my untutored ears there are loads of very good bass sounds in Logic, but no matter how much I practice, they just sound like me playing them on a keyboard (and I am a pretty good keyboard player). Any ideas, other than find a bass player? Thanks in advance Andy B

If you run Software Update from the Apple menu, it should find the update for Logic, as well as things like ITunes, and various parts of the system.

Your requests are exactly why guitarists and bassists are not obsolete. Its pretty much impossible to take samples and get any kind of authentic and lively guitar or electric bass. they always sound flat. There are some plugins devoted to things like this which I have not used but I imagine used sampled strums or whatever. That might work for you, but they are canned. �For that matter you can buy loops of guitar and bass. However, a real guitarist has unlimited inflections and variety that give it a real sound though. And there is the matter of getting chord progressions or riffs - unless your song is all on one chord. Otherwise the transitions always sound fake.� A lot of people use real guitar... and with good reason. On Jan 28, 2010, at 9:10:54 AM, bbgrove@... wrote:

Hi Can't really help re Rhythm/Strumming guitar but.. For a driving bass have you looked at Spectrasonics Trillian. Pretty good plug-in.. Not exacly cheap but a worthwhile investment if you wil be needing to do bass likes often. It can be previewed at http://www.spectrasonics.net/instruments/trilian.php and at this location there are some video's. If you have Logic v9.x you can also use some of the stomp box effects and amp effects to add some additional grind etc. OK never exactly like a real playing human but probably as close as you will bet without and way way better than the Logic inbuilt ones.

Totally agree regarding Trilian. Not only does it give realistic sounding bass sounds it is highly configurable. Definitely worth the money in my opinion.

For $300 you can buy Trilian - and then eventually you'll pay more for upgrades. And you get a wide range of sounds, but its unclear how driving and dynamic any software can be. Or you can use the virtual instruments in logic for free, and try to grunge them up a bit. Or you can spend $300 on a used Fender P-bass (mexican maybe), and then have a real bass with real drive. You can use the amp sim plugs in logic. And even if you don't play bass, you can pick it up pretty fast and get better results than trying to write bass lines in the sequencer. Another option is to hire one of these guys on the internet. But it can lead to some money too. It was very nice of someone here to offer to record these for free, but if you have more than a few songs, that is going to get tiring to record all kinds of stuff.

Although in theory I agree I guess all depends on what you wanna do in both long and short term. $300 is not that bad a buy for what you get and provides a very wide range of options not just a single bass option. Basic updates are fine and free it is only full version Upgrades that will require additional payments. I have Trillion because I don’t wanna learn bass guitar at the moment..(although it is one of my long term goals.) Trillian is fantastic and provides assorted bass instruments including jazz bass, fretless, Chapman Stick, upright string etc.. And I simply would never learn all those. But again a real player I will almost always be better but as a good (excellent) backup for $300 Trillian is hard to beat (IMHO). (just check the video’s on the site and also on other sites such as the Sonicstate.com WNAMM video’s) Steve

well its all relative but bass guitar is not that hard to learn - to play simply. to play really well is not easy though. Check out some motown or Paul McCartenary on With a Little Help From My Friends. But to play basic rock its the easiest instrument. And if you have no idea of what a bassline should be, how will you program a bass line on the synth? Plus you might write a completely different song on the bass.

Hi Marcrease 9.0.2 is not the full 64bit version and so teh toggle option does not show. Get the more recent one - 9.1.. A simple standard Mac software update will find the right version and automatically do the update (if you already have Logic v9.x). Also for example check the plugin's I find that the 32bit bridge (for 32 bit plugins) when running 64bit login is a little annoying but it seems to work but some plugins and instruments are upgradable to 64bit. For example. Spectrasonics Stylus RMX v1.9e I think it was updated Stylus to 64bit which is definitely worth the free update. (Omnisphere and Trillian 64Bit is currently only Public Beta but the free update is due out within the month) Or for another example EastWest's "Play" engine is now 64Bit so that is also cool if you use any of their orchestra etc products such as EWQL Gold etc. You just need to check each plugin and instrument. Apples "built in" ones are mostly just fine..

Hi.. I am running SnowLeopard with no issues whatsoever but that does not mean that everyone will. I jumped in early and have nothing to complain about really. Some folks had printer issues and some had external audio hardware driver issues. etc. I had no printer ones but my Motu audio device didn't like running in 64bit kernel mode. It was an issue for a few weeks but all have now been solved and were within about a month of me changing over. You can run Snowloepard in 32bit kernel mode (and it is the default) and most things - even my Motu hardware worked just fine. You have to manually switch Snowloepard over to 64Bit mode (either as a temporary switch or a permanent switch) if you wanna run it that way. I am also running Logic 9.x with no major issues again we all use thsi differently and so maybe some will push some boundaries to breaking and other wil push other boundary ies and some simply work within the "safely working boundaries". So I can only comment from my activities.

I'm a long-time pianist who wanted to play bluegrass, so learned bass after failing at mandolin, guitar and banjo. Like someone said, there's a big difference between learning bass and becoming a great bass player, and I will never be a great bass player, but as-is, I hold down the rhythm for the band and provide good drive, so I don't think you need to become a monster bass player to drive your songs (depending on the style, that is.). That said, I tend to keyboard in my bass parts for a lot of recordings. My gear is cheap and my technique is sloppy, so there's lots of noise and other artifacts that I'd rather not have on a recording. > I'm not actually trying to use a sequencer to get my bass sounds, but > playing it as live on a keyboard.

Even though you are a good keyboard player, the problem may still be in the timing and the lines you are creating. I find that simpler bass lines that don't stray far from I and V have more drive than more complex parts. Also, make sure you're coming in ahead of the beat with some frequency (quantize is not your friend when playing bass lines.), and make sure your rhythm is doubled by percussion or rhythm guitar or something. I spent years writing songs where every instrument was doing something very different. Nice, complex, academic stuff with absolutely no drive. I'm still trying to shed that habit. Good luck, Gregory

there is a strummed chorded 12 string MIDI sample included in the guitars in Logic Studio. Depending on the octave the chords are major or minor. I got a convincing guitar strum as a background element in one song.. I wouldn't put it front and center, but quiet and off to one side it was as good as an acoustic recording of same. I do my own keyboard MIDI triggered basslines, if I pick the sample carefully no one ever asks if I played it.. they ask 'who played it'. karl
