Does the $199 Logic Pro 9 come with all of the Jam Packs, extra sounds, voices, etc. as Logic Studio? Am I just giving up Main Stage 2 and Soundtrack Pro 3? I will only be using this for home recording (upgrading from Garage Band).
THANKS!
Logic Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Keith,
From what I have seen between the two versions, it does not look like you receive all of the Jam Packs and so on with the digital DL of LP9. It looks like you are giving up WaveBurner and Compressor as well.
Thanks for the answers everyone. JosephD. I agree that it doesn't look that way because of the size (19GB on DL vs. 38GB on Discs) but others have commented that it "comes with all the Jam Packs" so I'm hoping it may be just a compression thing....
At any rate it will soon be a moot point as the $499 version is getting hard to find and even harder to justify for my application. I sure hate to miss out on all those extra sounds, though, as it seems vst plug ins and 3rd party software just seem to add to the complexity and potential instability of things....
Does anyone know for sure? Is there anyone at Apple monitoring this board that can just tell me straight up? Or anyone that for some reason has the one version and kows someone else that has the other?
Thanks again for all the replies!
Definitely, I did not think about the Jam Packs being compressed within the digital DL, but based on the price, there has to be something left out. I don't think the lack of a cardboard box deducts $300 alone.
I hope you fine specifics soon!
The Jam Packs are included with the $199 Logic, they are a separate download from the application but they ARE included. Be prepared, it's many Gigs of data.
Soundtrack and Waveburner are no longer being produced or supported.
I think Mainstage is a separate app that can be purchased apart from Logic.
Right after Thanksgiving, I purchased Logic Studio and did so, not understanding that Logic Studio is a package bundle that contains several different apps in it. I won't be at my home computer until later tomorrow, but Logic Pro 9 is just one of those applications. The others that I can remember are Waveburner, Mainstage, some kind of program that allows you to put music to videos (I believe this program is something you use in conjunction with, or after you have used Final Cut Pro), and Logic Node. I haven't looked at Logic Node, but I think what it allows you to do is to harness the power of more than one computer to run your programs/produce music, etc. I believe there are one or two more other programs in the Logic Studio bundle, but I'll have to look when I get home. I can also look in Logic Pro and tell you what all it has in terms of jampacks, if that will tell you if anything different is in the version that comes with Logic Studio or not.
