    Logic won't do anything. Found same issue online with no fix.

    I went back to using Live recently because Logic wouldn't work as expected. At the time, it would open, and I could view projects. There were other weird problems however. I was on the latest stable macOS version, using my M1 Pro MBP. Circle back to this week, when I figured I'd check the...

    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 Piano Roll bug?

    Curious if anyone else is seeing this odd behavior. I'm on MACOS 12.6 with Logic 10.7.4. At least once a day, but often more frequently, piano roll just stops displaying selected regions. Whether I select the entire track by clicking on the track header, or individual tracks by clicking on...

    Considering a new Macbook for using with Logic Pro X - need options..

    Hello, I currently have an old 2012 Mac Mini 2.3Ghz i7, 16GB & 500GB SSD running MacOS Monterey OCLP. Also have a 2008 MBP but this is ancient and can no longer tollerate Logic! However Logic often gives me spinning beachballs which are a pain. I am not 100% sure I can afford an M1 Macbook...

    Logic Pro X not opening on Mojave 10.14.6

    Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with opening the Logic Pro X application on Mojave. No matter what I do, the application just won't open. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the application, deleting the "com.apple.logic10.plist", restarting my computer and nothing works. When I go into...

    Developers/Musicians using M1+ Macs

    Hey all, A lot of the focus around the M1 is on video/photo editing. However there aren't a huge number of reports on audio or software development. I'm going to refer to M1 here as the generation rather than the specific chip, so that'll encompass the Pro/Max/Ultra. My daily driver is a 2016...

    MBP for Logic X/Native Instruments

    Hi Everyone, Need some advice on the new MBP's. I currently have a 2015 13-inch (2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 with 16GB Ram). I use the laptop for day-to-day tasks but the main reason I'm looking at the new MBP's is that I use my computer for heavy Logic X use (primarily with Native Instruments)...

    Logic Won't Update Even Though I Know It's Compatible

    Wasn't sure whether to put this in Pro Audio or here, but I went for here because I figure ultimately that's a Mac App Store issue, not an issue with Logic itself. So here's the thing… I have a Mac Pro 5,1 running Mojave, and Logic Pro X 10.4.8 running on it. I also have a MacBook Pro...

    I've been thinking about buying my boyfriend a new computer for Christmas to replace his old 2012 base model Mac Mini. He primarily uses it for Logic Pro X. Here are some issues, just listed out to save time: - It's gotten to the point where it runs Logic super slow, if at all - He doesn't like...

    MB Air M1 running Logic Pro

    I've been waiting for a new MB for a long time. I've been using my MacBook Pro 2011 for a while for general work but also use Logic Pro and, unsurprisingly, can't take it anymore. I'm not an intensive user of Logic, typically with only 10 tracks on the go and mainly the built in plug ins, with...

    MP All Models Use Logic-only MacPro for web development temporarily?

    I have a pretty high end MacPro that I use only for Logic Pro X. The theory is I don't ever want to install any software that might destabilize it. I use special audo interfaces, have gigs of samples, an internally installed copy protection dongle, etc. My other machine is a recent iMac I use to...

    macOS 11 Big Sur kills a lot of plugins

    Big Sur is a deal-breaker when it comes to Music Production especially if you use some legacy or free plugin that won't receive any update in the future. Most of my plugins were working as of beta 2 since it's the version number was still 10.16 except for those that were already crashing on...

So, I'm in a dilemma on which base MacBook 16" I should with the intention of using it mostly to work with Logic Pro and other DAWs, and doing some ocasional image and video editing (the latter won't be too, too much complex in terms of effects and workflow). With that in mind, I'm...
