grabbing a copy of Logic 5.5.1 would be your best bet i guess

Yeah Logic 5.5.1/Windows XP is it, you wont be running anything past that on a PC.
Good luck with that one, that's going to be a basic Logic Audio Platinum install with none of the instruments or plugins that everyone loves Logic for nowadays. Those didnt show up until Apple Logic Pro 6. Hopefully the XSKey still works for authorization.

)

Better get Logic for Atari… No audio though…

I have to say to my previous post that yeah I get it and one can make tunes with it, but in my journey through DAWs it did not make any impact to me. I classify it as a "big host" aka "too much tuning it to make actually tunes fast" - which led me to Ableton Live (Yeah, it was horrible too before version 8 came up, it started to be better). Yep we made early tunes mixed with logic and ableton.

I did a YouTube video once on how to use Logic on Windows with the use of Parsec. At that time Parsec opened up the possibility to host a Parsec session on the Mac and we were quite surprised about how well that works. Very little latency. But while that allows you to use Logic on Windows as if it would be a Windows app, you still need a Mac on the network that serves as the host system for the Parsec session.

I don't see the point. Use a native DAW. Or get a Mac.

The point was that cloud gaming systems have reached a level of quality that would allow thin client setups also in audio production. It's more a general point. The "Logic on Windows" proof of concept was more of a vaguely disguised click-bait thing.

Seems it's possible to install Logic DAW in a virtual machine environment inside Windows OS. But don't ask me if that's a joy to work with Logic that way.

In the end you need a MacOS host system, either on the same machine or on another one in the same network. If done correctly, it is very usable. OS virtualization has come a long way.

Poeple doing that since years. Hackintosh of course. I tried it out myself, was very stable even 10 years ago.

I run Logic on a Hackintosh for years and it was great. It was also a lot of work to set it up and it would break occasionally.

These days you will get more performance per dollar from a real mac anyway so it’s not worth the hassle imo.
