Spec required to run Logic?

[The Paul meister]

Hi everyone,

My iMac has the following spec: 1.4 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM and Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB.

Is this enough to run Logic Pro X?

Thank you, Paul

What OS are you running on that? If you’re purchasing Logic it runs on OS 11 or later. Check out this. https://www.apple.com/uk/logic-pro/specs/

If you’ve previously purchased it and want to put it on that machine that’s a different and more complicated question!

Hi IAA,

Thanks for your reply. Yes I am running Mac OS 11. I haven't bought Logic yet - I'm thinking about buying it. I had already seen the page that you suggested, but on there it doesn't actually say what computer you need to run Logic. That's why I made the original post.

Can you or anyone else advise on whether my computer will run Logic?

Thanks, Paul

I think the implication is if your computer can run OS11, it'll run the latest Logic Pro.

Hi Kwackman,

If you use your mac and go on to Apple's App store and find Logic Pro, as you scroll down, it might actually say "works on this mac". It did for me, YMMV!

Ok, thanks.

What does YMMV mean?

"Your mileage may vary".
Or "don't blame me if it all goes wrong"!

Ok, cheers

Hi there Paul I have a dual core i5 macbook and I run Logic Pro X on Sierra 10.12

I'm using samples, also soft synths supplied with Logic Pro X. Sometimes it can't cope with more than 8 tracks of Logic soft synths.
System Overload message.

If I was doing only audio recordings and minimal processing of audio then my i5 macbook would coped better.

Ok, thanks for your reply.

Hi Kwackman,

I went on the app store like you suggested and it said 'it works on this mac'.

Thanks for your advice,

Paul
