hi everyone...

am needing some help... in my little studio i have a G5/motu 828mk2 and logic.

i'm buying a laptop pc for other purposes than music recording. however, was wandering if it is possible to record something onto the new laptop (using the 828 as the interface) and then transport that to Logic on my studio G5?

would i just save it as a wave file... or is there a specific piece of nice cheap software i could use?

any answers or suggestions would be very welcome

thanks

dan

The easiest thing might be to use one of the light versions of logic on your pc and just burn your whole pc project to a cd and bring it over to the mac as a logic project. There's a PC multitrack recording program called n-tracks that gets alot of favorable reviews for being pretty powerful for less than $100. There's a free demo for that if I'm not mistaken.

If you use Win 98 you can get Pro Tools free.

That's just a few ideas to get you started

Happy hunting

Well, you'll need some kind of software to record on your PC. Unfortunately, Logic 6 (assuming that's what you're running on your G5) won't run on the PC... maybe if you're more specific about exactly what it is you want to do...
As far as having compatible formats, if you're only talking an audio clip of something you want to load into a Logic song on your G5, sure - save as wav or aiff and then import. If you're talking about a full song with MIDI sequneces and such, that's another story... again, can you give a specific example?

xingu,

Is Logic 6 backwords compatible with the older versions of logic (ie: can logic 6 open projects from logic 5 or 4?)

If it is, then maybe danington can use an old version of logic on the pc.

I imagine now that logic is no longer made for PC, there are alot of old PC versions abailable on ebay and such for next to nothing.

Erm....Install Logic 5.5.1 on the Laptop, your XSKey will work on both machines. The PC will record and render audio in either .WAV or AIFF files both of which are compatible with the Mac. The sessions will come right over too. I'd suggest using ISO9660 CD-RWs to transfer sessions back and forth.

Oh bonus - you can run all of those cool PC VSTs
