Apple Logic 9.1: 64 Bit Anyone?

Posted In: Recording

Apple has released Logic 9.1, an update to the Logic DAW that comes in the Logic Studio Bundle…

The Apple Logic 9.1 update includes a plethora of bug fixes and little updates, but there’s only one huge update to be spoken of…

64 Bit Compatibility.

Now the 9.1 Logic update isn’t for everyone… Per say if you haven’t upgrade to Snow Leopard Yet.

The minimum OS requirement for Logic 9.1 update is for OS 10.6.2 and later only, and won’t update unless you meet this requirement…

What does 64 Bit compatibility mean?  Logic 9.1 will run in 64 bit mode… Logic will run faster.  That’s the simple overview, but what we’ll stick with.

Does My Mac Run 64 Bit Apps?

If you’re running Logic on your mac, most likely… Any Mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo (Core 2, not the Intel Core Duo Processors) or Xeon Processors.

Here’s a list of Macs that can take advantage of 64 bit mode.

  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009)
  • MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2008) and later
  • MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2008) and later
  • Mac Pro (Early 2008) and later
  • iMac (21.5 inch, Late 2009)
  • iMac (27-inch, Late 2009)
  • iMac (27-inch, Quad Core, Late 2009)
