can you upgrade to logic 10 from Logic Pro 9?

can you upgrade to logic 10 from Logic Pro 9?

Of course. Open the Mac App Store and purchase Logic Pro X for $199.99. You need a Mac with a 64-bit processor, OS X 10.8.4 and 4 GB of memory or more. See > https://www.apple.com/logic-pro/specs/

Sorry dude, but paying full price does not equate to an upgrade.

$199 is less than the price it cost to upgrade from Logic 8 to Logic 9.. so $199 is already a great price.. be it for an upgrade or the full version...

Have you looked at what other DAWs cost these days?

ProTools 11 Upgrade: $599-$999

Live Upgrade: $299

Cubase Upgrade: $199.99-$399.99

Logic Pro X (Full product): $199

Logic 9 was 199$ too.  There's no difference in price to go to Logic X, thus making it not an 'upgrade'.  I don't really need Logic 9 if I were to purchase Logic X...

Correct... Logic Studio 1 to 2 (Logic 8 to Logic 9 respectively) cost originally $299 to upgrade... for the DVD version.  When that package was discontinued and Logic Pro 9 itself was released  for download via the App Store the price dropped to $199.. so now anyone can "upgrade' to Logic Pro X from any other version..or purchase Logic Pro for the first time.. for the single price of $199.

Be it an upgrade or a first time purchase, Logic Pro is priced very low...  compared to other leading DAWs

The things people say to try to justify prices is kind of ridiculous. Upgrades are always less costly than the full price no matter how good of a deal you think Logic is. Without having to print manuals, press DVDs, manufacture packaging, and sell at wholesale to retailers, the price should be lot cheaper than competing DAWs. And while $200 is a good price for Logic, adding another $200 to that (that makes $400 now), is not a good price. Nor is $600, $800, $1000, $1200, etc, with addition upgrades.

Apple can do anything they want, it's their merchandise... whether or not anyone wants to call it an upgrade doesn't matter, it's still $199 and that will be good for all incremental updates, when Logic XI is released it will be another $199.

Quit sniveling... at one time Apple charged $499 for the DVD version and upgrades were $199, so what's the difference?

Oh wait, I know the difference.. Professionals used Logic and they understood what a bargain it was, it enabled them to make a living for a fraction of the price of hardware recording systems both tape and digital.

For what you're getting it's ridiculously cheap.

Anyway... Apple is a hardware company, you need to purchase their machines to run Logic, that's where they make their money and whay Logic is so cheap. Logic's original price before being purchased by Apple was $999.

I never said Apple can't do anything they want. Nor am I sniveling as per your obnoxious comment states, as I received a free copy of Logic from Apple. But as a pervious commenter wrote, buying a product all over from scratch at full price ISN'T AN UPGRADE. That was my point. So there are no upgrades if the other posts know what they're talking about. Considering upgrades mostly consist of minor changes or bug fixes, rebuying the product for every "upgrade" just for those 0.001 % of changes seems outrageous. And boy are those people screwed who just bought Logic 9 several days ago only to have to buy it all over again a few days later if they want the latest version.

"at one time Apple charged $499 for the DVD version and upgrades were $199, so what's the difference?"

A $200 upgrade for a $500 is also ridiculous. That makes Logic a $700 piece of software now. There seems to be an attitude among software companies that they should be able to keep extracting money from people for the same product. Older loyal users end up paying a lot more for the same product compared to a new buyer. There's nothing fair about that. I've been buying software a long time, and the upgrade price percentages have jumped way up. I used to pay $30 to $50 for an upgrade to a $500 product, and that was mostly because they had to send out a new manual and disks. How fast people forget the past. And after dropping Logic Express, all the Express people are now pushed into a much more expensive "upgrade" system.

Except that virtually all DAWs are available in online versions now (and many no longer include printed manuals) yet their prices haven't come down.  It seems ridiculous that Logic has the lowest price, one that is lower than the upgrade costs for most other apps, yet people still complain about it.

This has to be one of the dumbest arguments of all time Elhardt..

Sorry.. but frankly it makes me laugh..

Who cares what anyone else pays for something so long as you decide if an application  is worth one price or another?

There is no Upgrade.. period.. so there is no upgrade price. The fact that you can 'upgrade' from L9 to LPX by buying the full application is irrelevant. The point is $200 for a full version of Logic Pro X is in my mind, a good price deal... and compared to other DAWs the cost to purchase the Full version is much lower than almost all the other ones that provide a similar feature set. The Full price happens to also be less than or the same as the Upgrade price for many other DAWs so again.. its a good deal relative to other similar products.

Its just a mental thing going on...

"Why should I pay $200 for LPX when I already paid $200 for Logic 9?"

Thats the point.. you decide and if you think LPX is worth $200 then go ahead purchase it and if not, don't... No one if forcing anyone to buy LPX...

L9 still works exactly as it used to... and for many people it works great and does the job they need it to do.

"Why can another person pay $200 when they didn't buy Logic 9 earlier?"

Who cares????

If LPX cost $300 for the full version or $200 for an upgrade version.. then those upgrading wouldn't care a jot..

The fact it is the same price for either.. is what is apparently bothering people though I really have no idea why myself.. I don't care if Joe Smith pays $200 for a full version and I pay $200 for the same version even though I bought L9 (and L8, L7 L6, L5 and so on....... going back to Creator and Notator..) I bought LPX because I beleive it is worth $200 to me to do so.. period. What anyone else pays had nothing to do with my decision.

Like I said.. this truly is a dumb argument that is based on people being either greedy or simply "coverting their neighbor" so to speak...

Totally agree, Art of Sound.

The other point here is that we are all users. None of us here work for Apple. None of us set policy or pricing. Either buy Logic X, stay on 9 or move to a different DAW.

Arguing over what is an upgrade and what isn't is tedious. I'm not buying Logic X because I'm happy with Logic 8. Yes, Logic 8. I felt no need to go to 9 and feel less need to go to X. But that's just me personally. My upgrade history was:

5.5 - 6 platinum - 7 - 8

and I started using Logic at version 3 through the studio I worked in back then.

Just one of those steps, earlier on, cost more than buying Logic 9 and Logic X together through the App store.

Make your choice and perhaps the forum can get back to helping with Logic and engineering/recordin with Logic for all versions.

I will add.. that I have great sympathy and support.. for those that bought L9 30 days or less from the date that LPX was released. Those people I feel, deserve a refund.... for obvious reasons... and I hope Apple address this.

But for people who have owned Logic 9 for more than 30 days.. and in at least one case here.. for 6 months prior to LPX being released..... and are complaining... Well.. sorry but no sympathy here at all!

I bought my copy on July 1st Apple wont do anything, I feel completely cheated. Guess 3rd party applications for now on.
