    Apple MacBook Air 2014/2013/2012 with Logic Pro

    Good Day Everyone. I'm not a MacBook user and know very little about Apple Products. I've only been using Garageband on an old iPad for a few years. I'm an amateur musician and want to use Logic Pro on an MacBook but I have a small budget. I'm looking at some older and cheaper models. One of...

    Logic Pro Compressor / EQ plugins

    Speaking as a non-audio expert but a dabbler... Are these plugins necessary for the inbuilt software instruments? I've fiddled around a lot and, frankly, they don't seem to make much of a difference. I can understand that applying these plugins to recorded waveforms can have a significant...

    Which Mac Studio for music production? Max M2 vs. Ultra M2

    Hi everyone, which M2 studio would you choose for music production (logic pro)? The single core appears to be identical, but the M2 Ultra's multi-core CPU is significantly better. Is the surcharge worth it? I run really heavy logic projects with tons of plugins ;) Do you think 64GB RAM...

    MP 1,1-5,1 Upgraded my system and Logic is now slower than ever

    Hi all, Not sure where to post this so I figured here is as good as anywhere. I have been running a 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 3.3GHz hexacore for ten years. Over time I realized that my eyes can’t do 1080p anymore so I had wished to upgrade to a 4k screen. Thanks to the help given here I upgraded my...

    Logic Pro 10.7.4 on M1 Pro freezes when opening, closing or moving third party plugins.

    hi, I’m on a brand-new 16-inch MacBook Pro 2021, and Logic Pro 10.7.4 keeps freezing when running third party plugins. These plugins are actually optimized for Apple Silicon. Whenever I try to open, close, or even just move a third party plugin up or down in a mixer-channel, I’m getting a 5...

    Has anybody who uses their Mac for music creation installed the first Developer Beta? If so, which pro music apps/plugins are currently confirmed working? Here are some that it would be great to pool information on (given that each year it's a toss up if they stay working): Logic Pro X UAD...

    Afraid to open a file

    Im a music engineer and I’m currently working with a client abroad. He sent me a Logic Pro project , alongside its files (so the whole folder), for me to mix stuff. The reason I’m worried is because he clearly stated that he downloaded his Logic Pro via a pirate website, so basically a cracked...

    Mac Catalyst Reverse-Engineered

    Would you rather iPad OS with catalyst R-E or Mac OS on iPad. What I mean is if you can use catalyst to put iPad OS and iOS apps on Mac, can you put Mac apps on iPad, if so that would be great, so you could use Xcode and final cut, and main stage, and logic and the other Mac desktop applications...

    Want your thoughts on which machine for Logic

    Hi all. I've been writing and producing music on and off the past 4-6 months but especially recently as It's coming together much more. I've been doing this all in Garageband on iOS. I've not hit too many major limits but so far some things I want to do need major work arounds which take much...

    MP 7,1 Logic Pro users: what configuration is optimal?

    I'm seeing a lot of talk about video editing and Threadrippers, but as a Logic user I'm just trying to figure out what the configuration sweet spot is on the 7,1. It seems to be the case, going off the emerging benchmarks, that the base Mac Pro will provide no meaningful gains over a low-mid...
