Does logic pro 8 work mountain lion?

You can open the L8 project files in L9..

Hi, gman.

I installed logic 8.0.2 onto a new mac mini running Mountain Lion using Pacifist. It costs about $20. Just google and you'll find links to its site.

This program will open and load all the install files from all the LP 8 discs and let you install onto ML. Just click the relevant installer from the list. I didn't reinstall the content, but all the other installers worked without problems.

The only issue I had was the Audio Unit Manager's Avualtool crashed whebn it tried to vadilate all my Waves Mercury plugins. I suspect the problem was the processor being too fast for that program. After about 25-30 vaildaditions it crashed Logic. A restart and another try got another 30 or so.Once all were validated there was no problem loading LP 8 or opening projects.

You might have problems depending on file sizes, but at least you can try LP 8 before using LP 9

Hope this helps and you get up and running

Thank you, I will try when my new system arrives.

Thank you so much, when the system arrives I shall give that a try before having to get LP 9

Hi Scorpii.

Reading all the threads on the subject, your solution seems to be the one that works. Following your advice, I downloaded Pacifist, loaded the Logic 8 installer and the other discs when asked to. Now I have a list of files in Pacifist but I don't see any installer. Please, I need your help. I have to install Logic 8, and then upgrade it to Logic 9, all before a rehearsal I have tomorrow morning!

Thanks!

If you are planning to "upgrade" to Logic ( there should be no need to install Logic 8. If you are using the Upgrade Logic "Studio" disks you will need the Logic 8 serial number. If you are purchasing Logic 9 from the Appstore, you will not need that 8 serial.

Alternatively, use Pacifist to install each package within the Logic 8 mpkg (there is a button top left in Pacifist that says "Install"... select each package 1 at a time and install it).

Hi Mysticalman 68.

I've only just got your email message.

The reply from CCTM explains it, just start at the top of the package list in Pacifist, and then run each installer one after the other.

It might take a while, but everything should be fine.

Good luck with LP 8
