Hi All- I'm about to install Logic Studio 9 on my Mac Pro. I've been a PT user for 15 years but can't take the 32bit 4GB RAM ceiling anymore. I have a Mac Pro 12 Core 64GB Ram 4 X SSD's etc and Pro Tools cannot handle more than a couple VI's and maybe 8 or 9 FX plugs. Anyways, I have no clue how to use Logic, hence why I joined this site. My question is, will all my plugs show up in LOGIC? When I installed them, I DID select the AU in addition to the RTAS (I have been thinking about this switch for a while). I have all the Spectrasonics stuff, just about all the East West stuff, NI Komplete 7, UAD Quad Card PCIe, Waves plugs, Massey Plugs, Toontrack, Soundtoys, etc, etc.... Is there anything I have to do? It would seem that I would install Logic first then the plugs- as they would be put into the proper Logic folder? I have no idea...my rig first had PT installed...then all the plugs (including AU). Thanks in advance for any help. Scott

Hi Scott, Welcome to the macProVideo forums! If you've installed all the latest AU versions of plugins then they should all be validated by Logic and available. Nothing extra for you to do - unless you notice something's gone missing! I'd highly recommend you install all the updates for Logic to bring it to version 9.1.3 and then you'll be able to use Logic in 64-bit mode. Here's a free video you might like to browse on Logic running in 64-bit mode: [url]http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/logic107[/url] Logic does a different learning curve to Pro Tools, so I'd suggest checking out the Core Logic 101 video tutorial: [url]http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/logic9101[/url] Also, you might be interested in checking out the MPV Blog: [url]http://www.macprovideo.com/blog/[/url] where you can find a bundle of software tips and tutorial articles, such as the 2 part beginners guide to Logic: [url]http://www.macprovideo.com/blog/logic-pro/complete-beginners-guide-apple-logic-9-part-1[/url] and of course let us know on the forums if you have any questions or need any help at all! Enjoy your Logic journey :) Rounik

Great! Thanks- I'm sure I'll be back on this forum soon. Scott

Also- Just paid for a 1 year PRO membership to this site to learn LOGIC. Have any recommendations on where I should start and where to go from there, etc.? Thanks again, Scott

Hi Scott I'd recommend watching the Logic 101 (I linked in my above post)... It'll take you from complete beginner to a proficient level. Then there's a whole host of other features (e.g. Flex time) and synths/samplers with dedicated tutorials. You can find the complete list for Logic 9: [url]http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorials/logic+studio-suite[/url] Hope this helps, Rounik
