| 25-07-09 / 19:12 : Logic Pro 9 : PPC compatible and faster (cjed) |
| Logic Pro 9 (and then Logic Express 9) indeed works perfectly on a PowerPC mac (universal binary application). Moreover it seems performing ways better than Logic 8 (by using more efficiently distributed load accross CPU cores), so running it on a G4 shouldn't be a problem : For the record, LP9 is up and running on my G5 Quad. While I've yet to fully test functionality or Mainstage 2 fort hat matter, I can say that the upgrade process ran smoothly. I'm editing a large project at the moment and I've not yet run into any issues. One thing I can say is that all 4 processors in my Quad seem to be better utilized than under LP8. Load looks very evenly distributed. PPC and Logic 9 works...trust me. I'm running it right now-- and I've worked on three large projects just today. In terms of MASSIVE performance improvements; I'm a bit stumped. My G5 Quad is running at about half CPU in a plugin intensive session containing about 46 tracks (32 MIDI). Disk I/O load is also about nill. Memory is at about 75% utilization. |

Despite various informations (here and there) about Logic 9 not working on PPC (or at least only on G5 - not on G4), we can find a procedure to install it on a PPC. |
The Logic Express What's new section features a picture of Space Designer. However in Garageband to Logic Express page the pictures featuring Space Designer (and Delay Designer and EVD6) are titled with Logic Studio. This is misleading information (error in site layout ?), as it would be logical that Express 9 do not include (LE8 didn't) the advanced plugins like Space Designer (we however already know that it doesn't include Sculpture). |
