OT: looking for Logic Audio for Windows XP

Apologies for the crass request, but I'm looking a cheap copy of Logic Audio that will run on Windows XP. I just found some old Logic Audio recordings I did years ago, but I've lost my LAGW 4 CD, and in any case, I'm not sure if LAGW 4 even worked on Windows XP .... I've come to love Macs at work, but I haven't saved enough to make the move at home.

Thanks,
Kevin Murphy

G5 (desktop), Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Hi,
The last version of Logic that runs on windows is 5.5.1...you would need the XSKey,and it does NOT run well on WindowsXP,as emagic stopped supporting it before XP came out...I ran it on my Windows 2000 machine very well,with 56 channels of Motu hardware (1 2408mkiii and 2 24i/os) before getting a mac.

Cheers,

I assume the key you refer to is analogous to the dongle I have for LAGW, and it sounds as if you are not willing to part with yours 😉. I don't care much about stability, since my main interest at the moment is to do an audio track dump (with edits) and MIDI export so I can continue working in Cubase in the near term. Contact me at murphy@genome.chop.edu if you are willing to help me out. Otherwise, I'll keep looking. It's frustrating ... there must be many thousands of people out there with unused copies of Logic Audio for Windows, especially since it was never very stable, even on Windows 95 😉.

Hi,

Absolutely agree.....Logic Platinum 5.5.1 was rock solid on XP with a Soundscape Mixtreme. I was using it last year 9 am to 5pm, 5 days a week. I think the soundcard drivers are the most important factor, and in my opinion, they don't come much better than Soundscape. I just wish they provided OS X drivers, I'd still be using the Mixtreme without any doubt at all...

Apple were providing LAP 5.5.1 as a free download (You still needed an XS Key) until recently..I had a look the other day, and they now only have the last major upgrade on the site (from 4 to 5 or something...).

Do a search here at Apple and you might find summat.

Cheers,
Bryan
