MacBook / PS3/Pro Logic 9 (un)(together) again?

  Attempting to record vocals with Logic Studio 9. Can a PlayStation 3 Bluetooth Headset be used as an interface for this?

I have little experience and no credentials in audio work, but it seems to me you might want to use a quality microphone for this, if you hope to get a good recording.

  • Macbook Pro Logic board failure

    Hi,
    ​On 07 July 2013 I bought a new Macbook Pro from a local iStore. about 1 year later, the monitor failed with a black screen and I submitted the unit for repairs, as it was still under warrantee. The Apple Core Group noted that they had replaced the screen and the main logic board as this was the issue. On receiving the unit back, I noticed that the built-in microphone does not function. This was not a problem for me at the time as I never used the microphone and left it. Fast forward another year and a half, I now have a bigger need for the microphone to function for conference calls etc. About two and a half weeks ago I submitted the unit in for repairs at the same iStore, which was sent away again to the Core Group who deals with repairs on Apple products.
    ​With communications in the past two weeks, they have claimed that the unit does not want to boot up anymore while running diagnostics and eventually told me that the main logic board has failed, and thus the reason it is not working anymore. Today the Core Group sent me a quote of R9200 (+- $750) since my unit is out of warrantee.
    This doesnt sound like a valid reason and what am I supposed to do in this case? Am I responsible for dishing out $750 since I left the Macbook in fully working order when I handed it in to Apple Support? Why would the main logic board fail again after it was replaced about a year and a half ago.
    Any advice is much appreciated.

    There are no widespread hardware failures endemic to that model. Lacking any indication to the contrary, the repair facility itself begins to look suspicious. Of course I'm biased since all I have is the information you provided.
    ... the boot failed while running diagnostics
    Obviously it means nothing in the end, but it is commonly accepted that when a repair facility accepts an item for repair, the item remains in their care from that moment until you accept it from them, after which it is returned to your care. The fact it failed while in their care does not appear to be in dispute. You have no way of determining how that occurred, nor should it be your responsibility to determine it. They could have dunked it in water for all you know. How is that your responsibility?
    How do you prove that in any case?
    Recording the logic board's serial number and comparing it to the one returned to you is one way to ensure it hasn't been swapped with a defective one, but even that can be circumvented if the repair facility is motivated enough to modify it. Anyway, my sympathies are all I can offer.

  • I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together.  I receive all my emails on the macbook and iphone just fine, but don't receive all emails on my ipad.  Some go to Trash because it says they're improperly formatted.  What gives?

    I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together, which generally works fine.  I receive all emails from senders in my address book in my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but some end up in Trash on my iPad, with the message, "This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted.  Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program.  text/plain"  They appear to be mainly from competing platforms, android, etc.  Is there a workaround for this problem?
    Thanks-

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
    To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

  • I use Pro Logic 9 and see that to upgrade to Pro Logic X I need to buy the full package again. Does apple offer special conditions for their Apple clients ? Are users of apple care protection plan better served ?

    I use Pro Logic 9.1.8.  and see that to upgrade to Pro Logic X I need to buy the full package again. Does apple offer special conditions for their Apple clients ? Are users of apple care protection plan better served ?

    Old saying applies here most of the time......
    "If it ain't broken, don't fix it"
    I choose to use LP9 with Snow Leopard myself (10.6.8 and 9.1.6) for most of my commercial work simply because I find that combo very stable and provides the best overall performance for my setups here... but I am also using LPX with Mavericks as part of my client support and that works fine too although with a drop in performance due to the heavier demands made on the hardware by the newer OS X and LPX graphic routines for example..

  • Pro Logic/Studio on Macbook

    Also, would my macbook run it? Its the first gen macbook from the other year, black one with 2gb and 80gb hard drive

    Thanks

    Hi Adam,
    I don't know drumagog and what kind of a cpu-hog it might be, but just to give you an idea:
    7 Audio Tracks
    1 Pro 53
    1 Massive (which has "massive" impact on cpu)
    2 EXS24 Samplers
    1 Guitar Amp Pro
    1 Space Designer
    and lots of EQs and compressors
    does between 5 and 30%
    You should be able to double your setup without running into problems
    Have fun, Henrik

  • Missing serial number after Macbook Pro logic board replacement

    I just got my Macbook Pro replaced its motherboard due to the known issue http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
    However, after I got it back I found my serial no. in System Profile becomes "System Serial#". I brought it back to the service center in Hong Kong, they said it's normal after replacement the motherboard.
    Would this affect the authorization in iTunes and some apps?
    Also I found occasionally I got error log for my internal or external hard drive, I'm not sure if it's affected. (may be I should post this in OS X section) It didn't occur before the replacement.

    This happened to my 2006 Macbook when the logic board was replaced under Applecare by my local service centre due to a known issue at the time (random shutdown). It didn't affect the warranty or cause me any problems so I didn't bother to go back to them although I later found out that they could and should have reset it at the time.
    The only thing that might have been a problem if I had had more than one computer was that it made my iTunes account think that I had two computers authorized, i.e, a sort of "ghost" left over from the previous serial number. As you can only have five machines authorized with an account it means you have one less available to you even though you don't actually have that computer. This was not a problem to me as I didn't need five authorizations, and anyway you can go into your account once a year and reset your account. You may need to do this if you have five computers you need to play your iTunes purchases on.
    Still lazy of the repair centre not to reset the serial number for you though.

  • My 2008 Macbook Pro logic board failed...am I still able to copy that hard drive onto my 2011 Macbook Pro hard drive?

    My 2008 Macbook Pro logic board failed...am I still able to copy that hard drive onto my 2011 Macbook Pro hard drive?

    What you can do is to extract the hard drive from your old computer, put it in an enclosure and connect it to your newer computer, so you can restore your data.
    It's not too difficult to do it yourself, but if you think you will do something wrong, take it to a store where you can get your data restored

  • Is it normal that 2 years old macbook pro logic board died

    is it normal that 2 years old macbook pro logic board died.i Went to apple repair plase and they said that logic board is ded.is it really OK that in 2 years it dies.

    Hi,
    No it is not normal nor it is a gamble. It will be a shame if anyone within Apple thinks that you were gambling on the quality of their products by not buying an extended warranty.
    When someone buys a machine like a MacBook Pro from Apple you are not gambling with quality. But investing by forking out a higher amount of money than people do find less expensive solutions. This is, of course, a personal choose.
    When a computer dies within two years anyone can see that the machine was not build for such a period and therefore it is not more than reasonable to have it repaired or replaced on the costs of the manufacturer.
    In growing amount of (European) countries customers are protected against the approach of limited warranty. Apart from the one year warranty, people are entitled to have a device (in your case a computer) on which they can rely on for many years, unless stated differently (except for wear and tear for which a manufacturer is not responsible for).
    Buying an extended warranty (as a warranty against a failure of the product) is no more than a commercial exploitation against which consumers should be protected. Which only can be achieved through proper legislation in the country you live in.

  • AUDIO SAMPLES FROM IOMEGA 100 ZIP DRIVE TO MAC BOOK PRO / LOGIC?

    Posted: Fri, Feb 15 2013, 1:27pm    Post subject: AUDIO SAMPLES FROM ZIP 100 TO MACBOOK PRO / LOGIC?
    HI THERE
    I HAVE LOADS OF OLD AUDIO SAMPLES ON ZIP DISKS ( ZIP 100 using akai cd3000 sampler ) THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TRANSFER TO MY MAC BOOK PRO FOR LOGIC EX24.
    IS IT A SIMPLE CASE OF A 'SCSI TO USB LEAD' , WILL MY MAC BOOK PICK IT UP FROM THERE OR DO I NEED SOFTWARE OR DRIVERS FOR MY MAC TO BE ABLE TO SEE THEM?
    IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE AT ALL?
    THANKS

    Hi guys
    Sorry for the delay in coming back. I bought a zip drive pretty cheaply then and it has only just turned up. However when I put my old ZIP disks in, it seems like the ZIP drive reads them at least but the MACBOOK comes up with the following message...
    'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer'
    Does this pretty much mean a no go then?  Or can I put the samples from my AKAI sampler back through the old ZIP drive,  reformat some new disks in a certain way on that drive so that my MAC can read them?
    All its for really is mainly to take old tracks that used these samples and getting them set up in my mac.  Also there was some good bits and pieces there anyway and would like to keep using those samples for newer projects. I could of coourse resample them from the AKAI straight to the MAC but would be not as practical and would take alot longer. The 13'' macbook pros input is not digital, only its output.
    thanks

  • Hello, i have pro logic 9, phonic midi hub,

    hello. i have apple mac book pro, running pro logic 9, just bought a phonic midi hub, so i can connect my alessis dm5 drums, but every
    time i hit a drum pad it put,s my channel volume down to zero, any help greatly received in this matter very frustrating ,awaiting your reply,
    ray.

    Thanks for replying to my question.  The reason I ask is when I open a Logic Express Project in Logic Pro, I get this message: "ES24 Brass Ens Instument cannot be found" (I just used Brass Ens as an example.) So I wanted to install Express again just to finish what I needed to finish in Logic Express, then move on to Pro. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

  • Everything plays in Pro Logic.

    I bought a X-Fi Titanium today. I've spent the past seven hours trying to get it to play sound in anything other than Pro Logic mode.
    I have a Yamaha home theater with an optical cable plugged in to the digital out port of the card. I tried everything, even spent the past fi've hours downloading 30MB worth of updates from Creative's horrendously slow servers. One? thing I tried to do was to go to the option where I can switch to either Dolby Digital Li've or DTS Connect, however, once I click any of the two it instantly switches back to Disabled with a message that roughly translates to "The audio device is unavailable at the moment. Stop the reproduction then try again." despite having nothing playing at the moment. What's the deal? Did I waste u$90? I'm running Windows 7 64-bit if that helps.
    Google hasn't helped and the search function in these forums didn't help much either.

    Managed to get it working after installing some unofficial drivers and spending a few hours changing some settings until it ended up working. With such terrible support I have no plans in buying any other Creative products.

  • Installing Pro Logic 9 on 2 computers?
