rikki rivett Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm using L8.02 on a Quad with 6.5GB RAM under 10.4.11- ok I like a lot of plugs open, but Logic is not stable, compared to L7. There are also quite a few graphic issues- screen redraws not good etc. Would an Intel Mac bring some relief ? thanks RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I would try Leopard first in your case. Your machine still has plenty of power left. My old Dual G5 is handling Logic and Leopard pretty well and I have less RAM than you. Make sure your main 3rd party plugins are Leopard-ready.

rikki rivett Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Make sure your main 3rd party plugins are Leopard-ready. Is that an issue? I thought that plugins would work regardless on 10,4, 10,5 etc and that the issue was Power Mac vs. Intel Mac? Thanks RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 This thread is exactly the opposite of everything everyone else is saying: that Logic 8 has huge problems with Intel/Leopard, and is stable (if hardly bug-free) with PPC/Tiger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you search this forum and other forums, you'll find a LOT of people say that 8.0.2 with 10.5.4 is the most stable Logic combo lately. And I can guarantee there are less bugs on Intel machines. I wouldn't even consider working on a PPC machine anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikki rivett Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Well that is pretty confusing...but David, I assume you have plenty of experience to compare. Is there one place in particular where this information might be gathered together please? Thanks RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundbase Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Yes, i we can correlate all the documentation into one thread, that would really help. And would stop the same questions being brought up, then having to go through all the forums to get the right response. This would be much appreciated.

soundbase Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Sorry David, you just so good at it. I used to jump between logicprohelp and the apple site for logic help. Now I only look here as I know I will get the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn L. Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Well, So far, I have not had one crash, just a few minor quirky things happening occasionally. Granted, I haven't delved too deeply into Logic yet, but so far I haven't had trouble getting it to do what I want it to do (with the exception of merging overlapping MIDI files, for which I worked out a solution). My Intel 17" iMac C2D has, so far, handled Logic well. Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would everyone else be? That is the first i heard ANYONE say that - personally or online. Having used both I will back up that opinion with my own experience also. The Intel/Leopard running Symphony is the best experience I have ever had with Logic, regardless of the software version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-m-m Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I haven't had any crashes since 10.5.4 on my intel mac .... only a few under 8.01 and whatever version of 10.5.x I was running at the time ( .2 if I had to guess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Did the main Logic 8 bug of processor overload messages with almost nothing running ever occur with PPC/Tiger? And has it been fixed for all Intel/Leopard configurations as of L8.02? My impression is No to both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidiOpera Co. Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 It's old news but I haven't had a Logic crash since installing the ProKit update. I was ready to dump Logic before that update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes, then that was a HUGE problem on PPC machines, and while still present on Intel machines, I can say it totally disappeared from my system since I've purchased an Intel machine. Not sure if it ended up being fixed in 8.0.2 or if my machine is simply too powerful for the issue to pop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auramac Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I recently purchased the Logic Pro 8 package along with an Apogee Duet. I have a 2 GHz iMac G5 with 2 Gb of RAM, runninf 10.4.11. First thing I noticed was that I couldn't play demos on DVD- not enough power. I'm a singer-songwriter, not doing anything fancy just yet. How limited am I without an Intel Mac, and would a next-generation MB Pro be sufficient for more involved work? If so, How much RAM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you copy the demo projects to your hard drive before attempting to play them? You shouldn't try to play them from the DVD - that's too slow for Logic projects.

auramac Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 No- I'll try that.. Sounds good. By the way, I got your book the same time I bought Logic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
