Logic Express on iBook G3

Logic Express on iBook G3

2005-01-22 by Robert Miller

Has anyone run Logic Express on an iBook G3?

1.  Will it not run at all?
2.  Or, will it run with some limitations?
3.  If the later, what limitations might one expect?

Thanks for any comments or help with this. 

Best,
Robert

I ran Logic Pro 6.4 on an ibook/g3 and it worked. If you use virtual instruments, you'll be doing a lot of freezing. For midi and a few loops it should be fine. Ibooks are really a good value - like 20% less power for 50% less price or something like that.

I do a lot of mobile recording and I'm looking to replace my rather 
out-dated equipment with a laptop/firewire interface setup. Do you 
think an iBook would be suitable for this - 6-8 tracks max with little 
or no effects and no vstis.

That's exactly what I'm using mine for. :o) (500MHz G3). I haven't done many 
mobile projects yet so I don't have much experience with it, but it is easily 
capable of recording 8 tracks simultaneously from my MOTU, and actually I can 
get pretty far with a simple mix too.

However I used platinum 5 for this so far, Logic 7 is slightly slower but I 
don't expect any problems there.

It will probably run...

Yes.

Less of whatever it is you want to do with Logic Express...
