Logic/Mackie Control not recognized in Logic 8

Logic Control problem with Logic 8. Apparently the Logic/ Mackie Control should work with Logic 8, but since I installed Logic 8 the Control is not recognized when scanned in the setup. I am using a AMT8 interface and everything worked fine with Logic 7 before. The Mackie Control is running version 1.02 in "Logic Control Mode". It is recognized in the Midi/Audio Setup of my mac, but not in Logic 8...

Update: I discovered the cause of the problem: My Apogee Ensemble audio interface. Only after I switched it off Logic 8 would recognize the Logic/Mackie Control. I switched the Ensemble off , launched Logic and voila: Logic Control is scanned and works. The next thing was switching on the Ensemble while Logic was running, now both the Logic Control and Ensemble worked, but quitting Logic and starting it again while Ensemble is running can cause Logic Control to not work properly as I discovered e.g. no display and no fader movements. So this is a bug and Apple's claim: The Logic/Mackie Control is fully compatible is not entirely true as long as you are using the Ensemble interface by Apogee which is a co-production between Apple and Apogee. So I'd say this isn't very well tested by Apple. I hope they fix it soon

  • Mackie control instrument selection

    Hi
    While i can choose and insert insert fx using the MC i can't seem to do the same with audio instruments. Anyone knows how?
    The MC is running 1.2 software and logic is 7.2.2
    Thanks in advance

    Presumably then you have a first generation Mackie Control, not a Logic Control or Mackie Control Universal?
    The first Mackie Control does not have labelling for Logic, I think it's ProTools labels, if memory serves.
    I'm not even sure if the first Mackie Controls had Logic control functionality, as it came out a little while after the Logic Control was released, but I can't be sure. On a LC/MCU, the "Instrument" button is probably where you have an assignment button labelled "DYN" - whether it will work for you I don't know, as I don't know what mode you are running or whether Logic is directly supported on your MC.
    You can get upgrade chips from Mackie that turn an MC into an MCU which will give you direct functionality (although it can't help with the labelling - the lexan overlays only cover the right panel.)
    Edit: just checked, and the original MC can add LC functionality with a simple MIDI file upgrade, so I presume you're running that? In which case, the "DYN" button is the one you one want...

  • Using Mackie Control with Logic Pro 7 and Yamaha O1X

    I currently own a Yamaha O1x which is a mixer/control surface/audio interface that I use with Logic Pro 7. I am planning on selling the O1X and replacing it with the Mackie Control Universal as my DAW controller and using the Apogee Ensemble as my audio interface. I already have purchased the Mackie Control Universal and would like to begin using it instead of the O1X as my DAW controller, but while I am waiting for the Apogee Ensemble to be released I still need the audio interface capabilties of the O1X. The O1X uses Yamaha's MLAN protocol to connect to the G5. MLAN is a firewire interface that can transmit both audio and midi. Does anyone have a suggestion for a work-around solution so that I can use my Mackie Control Universal (which connects via midi cable) and only use the audio capability but not the control surface of the O1X via the firewire connection? I haven't been able to figure my way through this one and see if it is possible. I have already tried having them both hooked up at the same time, and the Mackie Control seemed to work fine but the audio on the O1X didn't seem to be connecting and functioning properly. I appreciate any help as I am anxious to use my Mackie Control.
    Thank you!

    You need to connect only the Audio and not the MIDI between your 01x and Mac. You can achieve this in mLan Graphic Patchbay-connect the cables between the Nodes in Audio part of a Graphic Patchbay, connect the Wordclock but do not make any MIDI connections. this way it should work as you want. the other way is to Make your regular connection from mLan Autoconnector and disable the MIDI ports that are dedicated to control the DAW by 01x by some freeware utility (01x uses port 1 for that...)
    As this is quite 01x specific, please visit 01xray.com/forums where you will find more help, or send me PM.
    As Apogee enssemble is expected to have great features, I would rather recommend the i88x instead of Enssemble (i88x has two Mic preamps-the best Yamaha produces (derived from Dm2000)VERY good converters (mLan is known for low jitter and it was tested with Rosseta by a mate from 01x forum who said (he tested it in store with other people) that i88x sounded better-may believe it or not...).The mLan Graphis Patchbay application allows you to patch connections between mLan devices and computer -very flexible. 01x already does almost the same as Mackie control and it is for almost the same price.... But maybe you are pi_ssed of waiting for new mLan drivers? I am just speculating....

  • Logic won't recognize my Mackie Control

    Hello,
    Thanks for reading. I've recently purchased a Mackie Control and have gone through the necessary steps for installing. When I choose Preferences - Control Surfaces - Setup - Install, my midi ports are scanned but no new devices are found. When I adjust faders on the control, I can see midi data being sent in the transport window, but Logic still does not find it on the midi port.
    I've also tried manually installing the control with limited success. I've been able to record the actions of one fader on the control (proof that it is communicating via midi), however, none of the other buttons/faders register.
    I'm using Logic 7.0.1 and a midisport 2x2. The firmware for the control is the latest (2.2). I've spoken with technical support and they've said that an upgrade to logic 7.1 shouldn't be necessary for the control to work. Thank you for any help you might offer.

    Sorry, I brainblocked the MIDISport thing. That should work fine. I have Logic Control and XT's. Shouldn't be much difference. I have never used the install option in the Control Surfaces setup. I start with the LC switched off, start Logic, open Control Surfaces setup, switch on the LC and it appears there a second later.
    Try this, but first try Logic Pro-Preferences-Control Surfaces- Rebuild defaults. Restart Logic, then try my method.
    I'll keep my fingers crossed.

  • Is the Mackie Control broken in Logic Pro 9 ??

    Haven't upgraded yet and read that Logic 9 has broken Mackie Control support.
    True ? I only have the central unit. Works fine with LP7, but i want to move to an Intel Mac soon and will have to upgrade to Logic 9. Mackie Control support is very important to me.

    My Logic control does not work properly in either 10.5 or 10.6 with Logic 9. The odd thing is that the same Logic Control is working better on my iMac running 10.6 than it does on my Mac Pro in either 10.5 or 10.6. Is there a way to keep my logic control working? Firmware 1.02 and its the original Logic control not the mackie control. Had to buy a motu micro lite so I could use the controller with SL.

  • Logic Pro 7.2.1 Update is not recognizing my 7.2.0 app.  HELP!

    grrrrr, this is so frustrating!
    Logic Pro 7.2.1 Update is not recognizing my 7.2.0 app. Any ideas?

    To prevent cheating, the updater checks the receipts
    first — receipts files look like regular package
    files, but they're actually a list of pointers to the
    files installed from that package, together with
    their attributes: location, checksums, owner,
    permissions, and so on... That's how the repair
    permissions function works.
    If you messed with your receipts folder, you may be
    out of luck: in this case, re-installing everything
    will rebuild the receipts and the updating
    should take place.
    Yet another option would be to use Pacifist:
    http://www.charlessoft.com/
    • it allows the user to create receipts for [.pkg]
    packages
    • it can be used to force installation of any file
    from a given package
    Be aware that Pacifist doesn't run any of the
    pre-install, post-install, pre-upgrade, or
    post-upgrade scripts, doesn't check already existing
    receipts, and doesn't alter the permissions
    afterwards, so you'd better know what you're doing...
    nice illustration on the repair permissions....

  • How to not use a Mackie Control device

    Is there anyway to make Logic not adding a Mackie Control device automatically, or anyway to bypass one that is added?
    Why I'm asking is because I want to use V-Control, which uses the Mackie Control protocol, on an iPad to control MIO Console and still use Logic Remote. No Logic however always automatically add a Mackie Control, even in the same session that I delete it. Since I still want to use Logic Remote and a Korg nanoKontrol bypassing all controllers isn't helpful.
    Thanks!

    I found what I was looking for: In the Control Surface Setup window, under New, it's possible to turn of Automatic Installation.
    Sorry for the bandwidth.

    That looks, like your original image files were missing.  Are your images referenced or managed?
    Create a smart album with the rules "Files status is missing" or "Files status is offline". This will show you any images, where the original raw files cannot be found.

  • Mainstage 2 - Mackie Control Faders Not Working

    Is there any way to use a Mackie Control to control Mainstage? The knobs and buttons seem to work, but MS doesn't see the faders at all. Is it a message that can be transformed with midi pipe? I would love to use the MC as a live mixer!
    Midi Monitor doesn't see messages from the faders either.

    If Midi Monitor doesn't see the messages, then MainStage can't see them either.

  • New Pioneer DVD drive not recognized in profiler

    I have used these forums many times to solve my problems so a big thanks to everyone who contributes. I've never had to actually ask a specific questions until now so here goes....
    I have an e-mac running 10.3.9. My superdrive started to get flakey (not recognizing some DVD's, spitting them out, etc.). I followed all the advice here but no luck so I finally replaced the original drive with a Pioneer DVR-118. My problems still exist and the system profiler is telling me I have a Pioneer DVR-106. Did I do something wrong on the install? Shouldn't the profiler recognize the new drive?
    A big thank you to anyone who can help me through this.

    Since your computer's Apple Hardware Test is on a disc and the built-in optical
    drive won't work, you may have to see if an external optical drive capable of
    being used as a boot, is available. This of course would be a FireWire combo
    type drive that can read & write DVD & CD media and boot Macs.
    You may have to see if you can archive anything worth saving from that eMac
    and put it on media via another computer; if the eMac can be booted into
    Target Disk Mode where it is seen by another computer as a FireWire drive.
    In fact, you could see (in a reverse scenario, perhaps?) if another computer's
    optical drive could be used by your eMac, if a second healthy computer is
    available & then boot it into FireWire Target Disk Mode to see if you can use
    the optical drive in there as though it were a peripheral. - This may not work.
    I've not had to really use FireWire Target Disk Mode, but do have cables,
    and an externally enclosed LaCie FW HDD which is partitioned for clones.
    There are times where a FireWire externally enclosed superdrive is handy.
    There may be some damage on the logic board or some circuit that does the
    controlling of ATA devices on one of the buses in the computer. That would
    be a possible cause of the issue. If the identity of this drive can be changed
    by the user before it is installed, be sure that is set correctly for use in eMacs.
    {The three eMacs I've owned, had issues early on and I got rid of them in mere
    days of first purchase; at considerable distance and effort by me. Then I got
    an iMac which was an unholy terror to debug after an 'authorized service' ctr
    did their best to kill logic boards and sell me defective store-brand RAM they
    were authorized to install in a place I was not. ThreeThousand Miles and Six
    Months later, I finally got my iMac back, repaired. Only because Apple told
    them to read my test notes - & just install the parts I said it originally needed.}
    Do you have a second Mac nearby (presuming yes, and using it online) which
    may be used to attempta further diagnostic or testing of the eMac?
    Not sure if an Apple Hardware Test would be sufficient to tell the issues in
    your computer; if you have a way to make use of it via external FW. Hope-
    fully someone with more extensive eMac and drive experience will advise.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Display black / Not recognized / Glitchy

    I have an Early 2007 Black Macbook that just started acting very strangely. I pulled out the hard disk from inside the battery compartment to replace, and the Macbook decided to have serious video problems. The display stays black when booting and when it gets to the login screen, it starts to glitch out. The display is not recognized properly and starts up dim and in 800x600 mode. It is also flickering very badly. When I open the Display Control Panel, every possible resolution is shown except for the default 1280x800. All different frequencies are shown as well (60hz-100hz). When I change to the closest one (1280x720) it works, but flickers badly and the top part of the screen in copied onto the bottom part (Tiled) When I plug in and external display, it is fully recognized and displays the correct resolution (this also kills the flickering on the Macbook).
    Here is what I find really funny: If I run any CPU-intensive (not graphics intensive) Application, the flickering goes away, as soon as I take the load off the system, it flickers. Could this be a problem with the logic board?

    Hello mko61, did you change your C7's display? Because am also facing this problem I had to change the display because of some problem and from that day onwards the black is never looking as black. Its a hardware fault.

  • Headphone Jack Not Recognizing Devices

    Just stepped up from an old G4 iMac 17" to an slightly newer intel iMac 17" and I'm missing my old
    clear plastic "ball" speakers. There is a different type of jack on these than the 1/8" input on my new (older) iMac so I can't use them. The built in speakers just don't do it for me on this current machine.
    So to get to my point, I tried plugging a pair of powered speakers into the headphone jack and they were not recognized in the sound control panel. Tried with headphones and same thing. Only "internal speakers" appears in the control panel. I asked someone at an Apple store about this and he told me to look for a red light inside the headphone jack. If I saw red then this most likely would mean the jack is fried. I checked and did NOT see any red light.
    Any suggestions ?
    Thanks in advance !

    Hi moJo
    Sounds like a hardware problem with the Output jack, the sound card or that section of the logic board.
    If you are stuck with that iMac for whatever reason, then your best bet might be to pick up a Griffin USB Audio Interface. > http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic/

  • Mackie control - Please Help

    I am trying to install a firmware update for my mackie control and have been stumped by this instruction can anyone tell me how to do this please...
    4. and make sure the Mackie Control/Logic Control is the target midi device on channel one.
    many thanks in advance
    Ivan

    Hi,
    you need to do 2 things:
    1. REMOVE the MCU from teh controller setup page, and DO NOT RESCAN!
    You need to have not mcu in your controller page.
    2.You need to create a new midi instrument, name it mcu, and set it's midi ports to where your mcu is wired to your midi interface.
    then, put this new instrument on the arrange page, and place your MIDI firmware update a few bards AFTER bar 1, say bar 3 or so.
    Then, when you tell your mcu to get ready for the firmware, you can play it back from Logic into it, IN IT'S ENTIRETY, and it will be updated. If you stop before the entire MIDI is played, you'll have to start over, or suffer from a messed up MCU.
    Cheers

  • IBook TrackPad not recognized in System Prefs?

    Hello,
    I have the Mid-2005 1.42ghz iBook. It's a great machine that I love except for one thing....the scrolling TrackPad. It does not work and is not recognized in System Preferences. It does not show up under Keyboard & Mouse. I've taken the top-case off to check the cables and they all looked tight and even replaced the top-case with a new one and it still doesn't work. I've used the 10.4.4 Tiger install discs as that is what it was shipped with. I'm out of ideas here and am hoping that someone can help me. I've resorted to using a mouse along side of it and it's aggravating. Please don't tell me "Logic Board Replacement." Thanks!

    Hey PM and Cornelius,
    Well the first thing that comes to mind is that the track pad, keyboard, power and charger are all controlled by that PMU99 that I've been bugging everyone about.
    Here's my other post:
    "There's been a lot of problems lately on this group with the above mentioned issues. It could be a PMU problem. The PMU is actually a tiny computer within the computer. It's official designation is PMU99.
    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/DeveloperNotes/Macintosh_CPUs-G4/12inchPowerBookG4/2_Architecture/chapter_3_section4.html
    "Power Control IC
    The power manager IC in the 12-inch PowerBook G4 is a Mitsubishi M16C/62F microprocessor, also called the PMU99. It operates with its own RAM and ROM. The functions of the PMU99 include:
    *controlling the sleep and power on and off sequences
    *real time clock
    *controlling power to the other ICs
    *monitoring the battery charge level
    *controlling battery charging
    *supporting the interface to the built-in keyboard ( and trackpad )
    The 12-inch PowerBook G4 can operate from a 15-volt power outlet on an airliner, however for safety reasons the computer will not allow battery charging. In order for the computer to detect the connection to airline power, the airline power cable should have a sense resistor of 24.3K ohms connected between the power plug's shell and ground.
    The PMU99 also provides the hardware interface to the keyboard. Software in the PMU99 IC scans the keyboard, then sends the data to the system in packets like those from the ADB. To the system, the keyboard behaves as if they were ADB devices"
    Try resetting it:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
    If that doesn't work try what I call a deep PMU reset.
    Pull all power including the battery, push the power button to remove residual charge in soft start capacitors.
    Then walk away from it for at least 10 hours.
    Now PMU99 has been responsible for soft start in Macs apparently since the first G3s and run all the way thru the G5s. From:
    http://www.theapplemuseum.com/index.php?id=30
    "Power Macintosh G3/G4/G5 clock/softstart chip: PMU99"
    So this deep reset has worked for G3s going back to the Beige and recently a G4 Sawtooth with a 1.5 GB CPU upgrade.
    I've also seen problems with the super capacitors that sort of take the place of the PMU battery but that has been on older G3s. These are there to hold settings during battery swaps and not sure what else. I've seen two go open but am not sure what that would mean to all the PMU functions. If it shorted I could see that as a real problem."

  • Hard drive not recognized in HDD bay.

    Randomly, my laptop gave me the spinny pinwheel of death when I opened it, and upon restart, I got the good old folder with a "?" indicating there was no OS. Naturally, I booted up in network recovery, and low and behold, my SSD was not in the Disk utility list. I made an adjustment some time ago where I removed my optical drive, and installed the old HDD that came with the computer in it's place. I switched the drives, so that the SSD was where the optical drive should be, and the HDD in the drive bay. Upon startup, the computer booted up as usual from the SSD, and the HDD was not recognized. So from there I conlcuded that both the SSD and HDD are working correctly without failure. After putting the drives back where they originally were (HHD in optical bay, and SSD in Drive bay), and I booted up holding the option key, The SSD and recovery drive were there, but I received a prohibited sign (circle with slash) after a minute. Now it is not recognizing the drive again. I'm not sure whats going on, anyone hav any input?
    Thanks

    You have a faulty hard drive to logic board cable. Replace that and you should be fine and the drive put in the main bay should show up.
