steveastanga Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 It's time for me to stretch myself and go for a Mac Mini Server; it is just too irresistible. What is the recommended way to configure my new Mac so's to be where I am now on my 2006 Macbook Pro but with super-duper processing capability and heaps of space? I saw a recommendation on here that a complete re-install is the advisable route, but that's an awfully tall order (Logic 7, then all subsequent updates/upgrades, then all my plug-ins and soft synths etc.). Is there an easier, less time consuming route, which doesn't carry any penalties? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Is there an easier, less time consuming route, which doesn't carry any penalties? No. See this comment I just left in another thread. Note that if you're installing Logic 8 or Logic 9 you don't have to first install Logic 7.

So if I only have the Logic 8 Upgrade, and Logic 9 Upgrade, then I don't need to re-install Logic 7 at all, which I have the full version of (with the SIM key). I can start by installing the Logic 8 upgrade set, then upgrade to 9, right? If that is the case, it saves quite a bit of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 You can install Logic 9 right away. No need to install 8 first. There's no such thing as a "Logic 9 upgrade" DVD. There's only a "Logic 9 install DVD", and a "Logic 9 upgrade" license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
