Logic Pro - Which Macs are compatible?

David Hardy
Logic Pro - Which Mac is compatible?
 
Logic Pro is a very popular music creation program - powerful creative tools for professional songwriting, beat-making, editing and mixing.
 
As with Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro is software created by Apple so suits most Macs.
 
Anything with OS 11.5 (Big Sur 2014) or later will run Logic and we would recommend 8GB of RAM and minimum 256GB Storage.
 
An iMac or MacBook Pro or Air will work and is really down to personal preference, if you're out and about or travelling to recording studios go for a MacBook or if you have a home studio an iMac would most likely be preferable.
 
Here's a link to our full range, just remember to select 8GB of RAM minimum - https://cheshiremacs.com/collections/all

Got a Question?

One of the most common questions we receive is ‘how do I speed up my iMac?’. The answer isn’t always straight forward and simple. However, our technicians have over 20 years’ experience. This allows them to draw on this to find the best solution for our clients.
If your iMac does not have an SSD (solid state drive) then this can often be the answer to speeding up your iMac. We are able to offer fast turnaround on all iMac repairs. Message us or get in touch if you would like a quote for an SSD. This could help provide a solution to an issue you may have been fighting for some time.

Computer Specifications Explained

David Hardy

Some computer specifications can feel like another language. Some people talk about jargon but sometimes you can be left feeling like you are the only one that doesn’t understand. Rest assured that when you are dealing with CheshireMacs that we will offer you clear information and advice. We are not here to blind you with science, but instead to support you through the purchasing of buying a refurbished iMac or refurbished MacBook.

To fully understand a Mac’s incredible capabilities, it is helpful to understand a computer’s specification. What do we mean by this? We mean the different components that make up the individual device. The main ones to consider are processor, memory and storage.

Computer Specifications Made (More) Simple

Processor (CPU)

Your Mac’s processor is an integrated electronic circuit that orchestrates all the tasks that you run on your Mac. It is made up of hardware that works together to deliver information. This allows your Mac to complete the tasks you request when you open an application or make changes to a file. The processors will affect how fast your projects run and will minimise crashing and delays.

When you are looking to compare processors, benchmark scores are useful as they reflect real world performance. We provide information about processor on each of our devices we sell. If you would like advice on which processor would be best for you, give us a call on 01625 415088. By considering your usage, we will be able to guide you to find the best alternative.

Memory (RAM)

A Mac’s memory can easily be explained as a temporary storage area. It holds data that the Central Processing Unit (CPU) needs. Before a program can run, the program is loaded from storage into the memory. This allows the CPU direct access to the computer program.

The more memory you choose, the more apps or tasks you can run simultaneously and with better performance.

Storage

Storage is where you save files permanently. How much storage you need is a question you will have to ask yourself. There are other options available if you find you do need more storage. If you do need more, you can consider external storage and cloud storage such as iCloud, Dropbox or Google Drive.

Don’t allow yourself to be confused or not understand something about your Mac purchase. We are here to help and more than happy to break everything down into simple and understandable terms. Call our helpful staff today on 01625 415088.

Refurbished iPads

David Hardy

Refurbished iPads are another way in which you can purchase an Apple iPad but at a fraction of the cost of new. Some believe that the price of Apple devices is inflated. Our belief is that they have an incredible reputation and are widely used and sought-after solutions. We are at a place now where each household is likely to have multiple iPads.

Over the years new iPads have been launched and released. People have evolved with Apple products as different sizes and alternatives have been developed. It is important that you keep up to date with software updates on your iPad as many of the devices get to a point where it is no longer simply a click of the button option but becomes more complex in the way in which software updates can be completed.

We have also known clients to have iPads that are so old that they are completely unable to update the software. This may seem ok as long as the iPad is running in the way in which you need it to. However, you will find you will come across major issues when looking to get new apps or installing anything at all on your older iPad.

Refurbished iPads – A Brilliant Solution:

If you look into it, Apple usually supports a new iPad with software updates for at least five years. Some believe this is how long an iPad should last. In fact, they will last several years longer. Depending on how you use your iPad, performance, features and storage should last if you maintain your iPad well.

A refurbished iPad is a brilliant solution if you are looking to upgrade. We offer a 12-month warranty with all of our refurbished Apple devices. Our friendly and supportive staff are also on hand to help with any questions you may have both before and after purchasing from us. Customer service and going above and beyond is part of our passion for delivering a great service.

One of our clients commented:
