Space Designer 'hangs' Logic * when choosing preset

Hello All,
This is my first post!!
I've just purchased a new Intel Mac 8 core with 8 gig of ram - great machine and can seem to handle many plugs. I seem to have a problem - when changing a preset in Space Designer it hangs Logic, I force quit and have to reboot the programme. Has anyone had this problem? I'm using a Metric Halo 2882 dsp. It could be a setting in Audio preferences, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated,
Phil T

Thanks for the reply -
My impulses are stored on my local drive 'macintosh hd' - but i don't think this is the problem because when I start a new project, Space Designer works normally. I read somewhere that it could be conflicting with my Airport card - I'm yet to try it out, but will give it a shot in the morning.
Cheers,
Phil

  • No Tonewheel organ or Space designer in Logic Express 9...

    hi,
    i read on the apple wesbite that in Logic express 9 there is a tonewheel organ and space designer. However i purchased it yesterday and cant seem to find it has been installed?
    any suggestions?

    Hi,
    however... there is a not-to-bad Garageband tonewheel plugin availabe. Not quite as flexible as the B4 or the Logic Pro version, but I've been using it a couple of times.
    For reverb, I often use AudioUnits > Apple > AUMatrixreverb. Better than the standard LE9 reverbs, IMHO. And if I need a "real" reverb, I use Lernvall Audio LAConvolver, a free convolution reverb ( http://audio.lernvall.com/ ).

  • How can i use plugins from main stage like space designer in logic express 9.1.6

    I'm using logic express 9.1.6. today I bought Mainstage 2 in the appstore. there are a lot of powerfull plugins. some of them, like e.g. space designer, are not included in logic express.
    how can I use the in logic express? they are not listed automatically with all the others...
    thanx

    Hi
    No can do.... these plugs etc are part of the code for Logic Pro and MainStage (and not for Express)

  • Feature Request: Manually Send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable, or use better logic when choosing

    I understand that when I send an iMessage to a contact from the messages app, it will send a text message eventually if the contact has no data service or wifi available. The problem I have with this is the timeliness. It can take anywhere from 20 seconds to 5 minutes to finally "realize" that contact has no data service and this delay is unacceptable for time sensitive messages.
    I also understand that the messages app will send subsequent messages as text messages/sms because it already knows that the contact currently does not data. But... after a period of inactivity (of about 30 min?) the app defaults back to iMessage for that contact again, and if they still have no data when you send another message, it has to once again go through the process of "realizing" that they have no data/wifi connection. Even if I use the "send as text message" option by holding down on the undelivered iMessage, the app still won't send subsequent messages as text/sms until it goes through the process of "realizing" there's no data connection on their end.
    A large number of people that I communicate with in the messages app have sporadic data access because they have no cellular data plan and they can only use iMessage when they're in a location that has wifi... and so if a message is taking a while to deliver, 90% of the time it's because they don't have data or wifi and it ends up sending as text message a few minutes later. What I'd like to do is speed this process up and this could be done two ways:
    The Messages app should know that if I use the "send as text message" option on an iMessage that hasn't yet been delievered, it should send the next message as a text message/sms as well.
    If I receive an SMS from a contact (who has iMessage only sometimes), it should default that I send an SMS back, instead of trying to iMessage first.
    I don't want to simply "turn imessage off" and opt for only sms because then I can't have the benefits of iMessage with anyone of my other iMessage contact! (status visibility for messages - delivered, read, typing... etc.)
    Apple, please put the "instant" back in "instant messaging!

    I don't know why you posted this to a user-to-user technical support forum that Apple does not read or respond in. You might try http://apple.com/feedback. That won't respond either, but at least Apple will read it.

  • Space Designer preset select crash

    I'm running Logic Studio (upgraded from L7) on a core duo iMac, osx 1.4.10
    Selecting a preset in Space Designer crashes Logic.
    Any preset does this and it does it every time.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    You've got to be kidding. It worked! Thanks for the suggestion Peter.
    So:
    Spotlight off = Spacedesigner crashes while selecting preset.
    Spotlight on = No crash.
    I never would have guessed that. To tell you the truth, Logic8 loads a little faster now as well. Cool.

  • Changing sample rate corrupted space designer.... somehow.... HELP!

    This is a new one to me, so it's very difficult to explain whats happened. I'll start from the beginning.
    I created a new, blank logic file with a sample rate of 96.
    I created a new software instrument and began to fill it out, adding some compression, some eq, and a little bit of reverb. The reverb came from space designer, using the small room preset "Thicken Vocals". So far so good. No problems, everything's working fine.
    I open Reason to rewire in (and ultimately track and record) some drum samples out of reason. The sound is coming out of reason into an aux bus in Logic, and that aux bus is being used as the input for a new audio track. I lay down some midi notes, play back the drum audio out of Reason and hit record on the audio track, essentially making an audio file of the drum samples coming out of logic.
    During this, something happens. Rewire is doing a LOT of work balancing the sync, the sample rate, etc.... and somehow, SOMETHING freaks out in the space designer i was using as some subtle reverb for my software instrument in logic (this software instrument is UNRELATED to the Reason audio).
    Now, when i hit play, the space designer just produces a loud, annoying pop. If I CHANGE the space designer preset, everything is cool. If i change it back to "Thicken Vocals" under small rooms.... POP.
    Worse, it seems to be a permanent problem.
    SO --- Ive done a LOT of trying to figure out whats going on. I create a new document and recreate the software instrument. I browse to Thicken Vocals... POP! I tried to replace the IR that "thicken vocals" is referencing by overwriting the file from a system backup I have (an IR called "0.03s_Room Vocals")... still no dice.
    Here's where it gets strange. It works FINE if the sample rate is 44.1... I can browse to "Thicken Vocals" and it loads up and init's fine, and everything is golden. As soon as I go to 96, or load it up when the document is set to 96, that's when it freaks out. NOW, if i adjust the falloff curves of the reverb just enough, THEN it suddenly works again, even under 96k.
    So, in a nutshell, at 96k, when I load "thicken vocals"... it almost appears (even according to the waveform Space designer draws) to misread the IR waveform, and it plays back as a POP. If I adjust the Falloff curve, it corrects itself, and the waveform even redraws! At 44.1, there are no problems.
    I did NOT have this problem before... does anyone have ANY clue what could be tweaking my system right now? I can post more details if I haven't posted enough... including pictures.
    THANKS!!
    Chris

    You might have a corrupted song file. Possibly your autoload as well. Try trashing logic prefs and rebuilding you autoload. Also, repair permissions and maybe even try updating the prebinding in the terminal. Another possibility could be a conflict with the driver of the Audiowerk8, unlikely, but possible.

  • Space Designer True Stereo Impulse Responses

    I recently purchased some impulse responses. I am trying to load these into Space Designer on Logic 9.1. They have been supplied as L, R and C wav files. It says that Space Designer supports 'true stereo' impulse responses, where there is a seperate wav file for L and R. But I can't work out how to load both files? Has anyone on here successfully loaded True Stereo responses in Space Designer? The set of responses also includes 'quad' files consisting of just one stereo file - should I be using these instead?
    If anyone could help/offer any advice I would be very grateful
    Many thanks

    If the impulse responses are Stereo Interleaved audio files, then they load into Space Designer as true stereo impulses.
    Note : make SURE you create the space Designer on a STEREO AUX or channel, otherwise its mono--->Stereo, and will load mono impulses. At least that what it does on my system. They same impulse sounds very different when fed a mono source VS a stereo source...
    As for "QUAD" sources, it does not support them, at least I do not think it does.
    Try loading a Space Designer on a 4-channel audio track (a QUAD) track, and see what happens.
    Also, those QUAD files are probably 4 mono audio files contained in the one file. I've seen these before...

  • Space designer and Reverb with EWQL Goliath samples

    I'm currently using Logic 9 for sequencing.
    Alot of the samples I use in recording are from EW-QL Goliath as a plugin for Logic.
    Given the 'Play' engine has a reverb facility and other kinds of articulations and effects you can apply is there much use to using Space designer in Logic? I'm not sure if Play Engines is vastly superior or not.
    Would it be better to simply set up the reverb within the Play engine and then record to in Logic OR record an unaltered sample (e.g. violin) from Play and then add reverb using space designer/ Logic's other reverb plugins?
    Perhaps using them both in conjunction even?
    I am writing alot of orchestral music at the moment so trying to decide on how to apply reverb to my tracks at the moment.
    Thanks.

    This is asking for the impossible! It does not sound natural because maybe it isn't and in judging so whats your reference anyway. If you are in dire need of some natural sounding room you can go and record it yourself. But even then, the chances that it sounds like you imagined it, are very slim.
    There are very decent sounding reverberation plugins, based on artificial reverb generators or convolution-style, the last one is said to sound more 'natural' then the first one. Be it as it maybe, it really is like cooking food. You got all the ingredients for this delicious taste at hand and believe it or not to reach a satisfying result this is not enough, because if you do not mix the ingredients in the right proportion you will end up with a different dish you thought you'll get. This is exactly the same when one would mix audio, I dare say.
    So treat yourself to some good ingredients and the rest is up to you, namely: taste and experience!
    And looking at some of my past music productions I always find the same plugins for the 'ambient' task:
    Altiverb by Audio Ease when I have acoustic ensembles (classical music mostly), the Sony Oxford Reverb in studio productions, Bricasti when I have to deal with drums and MMultiBandReverb from MeldaProduction for all-round stuff. Thats the base I start from, after that I can end up with dozen Reverb plugins which basically all are doing the same thing but just in a tiny different way.

  • Space Designer- 64 bit?

    Hello friends,
    Is Space Designer 64 bit when running in 64 bit mode? Altiverb is becoming problematic. Just curious. Thanks!

    If Logic is running in 64-bit mode, then all of it's DSP processing code (remember, they are not plugins) are also running as 64-bit code.
    This has nothing to do with the audio - Logic implements a 32-bit floating point audio engine, and this isn't not likely to change (it's perfectly adequate for this task).
    When there are specific 64-bit optimisations in the DSP code I don't know. In any case, there are no functional or audio differences to Space Designer whichever addressing mode Logic is running in.

  • Space Designer

    Does any one use Logic Express could tell me if it has the "Space Designer Reverb"  same as the one in "Logic Studio 9"?  I'm using GarageBand and it doesn't support 96khz and it has no good reverb for vocal and I was thinking to upgrade to Logic express but first I want to make sure it has the same Space designer Reverb that comes in Logic Studio 9.

    Hi,
    NO, Logic Express doesn't have the space designer as Logic Studio has.
    However, Logic Express has the platinum reverb which can be utilized to construct some good reverb environments, too. You could also combine two or more different reverb effects into an aux channel to build a nice reverb fx.

  • Logic crash when loading 3rd party space designer preset

    Hi,
    I am having problems loading 3rd party space designer presets in a specific project. When I load the presets in a new song there is no problem. I would like to use the presets in this specific project, so maybe somebody knows a solution.

    A quick update: logic crashes in more cases now. Last time I was working on volume automation in the arrange window.

  • Logic freezes while loading Space Designer presets

    Logic freezes while loading Space Designer presets when I am working on my template and songs. If I create 1 track in a new empty project there is no problem with Space designer.

    And with Logic 8, I am stumped as to how to find all of my samples and virtual instruments that I used in Logic 7...Where is the "folder" that I drag my Sampler Folder alias into? Any clues?

  • Have to load presets in Space Designer manually?

    I have to load Space Designer presets in Logic 8 manually (prompt the path) after installing Logic 9 upgrade. Anybody else with the same problem?

    Thanks for your answer:
    Here is what happens in my case, even with Logic 9.1 being installed.
    When I open a new project in Logic 8 I can switch through the presets. However, when I save the project and reopen it again, then I need to prompt the path if I want to change a preset.

  • Space Designer -- none of the presets are working!  they are grayed out

    I am using a dual core iMac with logic 8 totally updated version but I've been having this problem with space designer and possibly a couple of the other logic played in effects. When I tried to pull up a preset it goes up a search for box I'm going to applications support/logic/played in settings and I tried to select the desired preset that it is asking for and I find that it is there but it is grayed out and it does not load up. Presently I can only use the default effect. Does anyone know how to fix this? This is frustrating!
    Thanks much!
    Help!

    That is correct your 4th gen iPod can't run any newer then 6.1.6
    If you wish use apps that require iOS 8 then you need a newer iPod that is capable of running it

  • Space Designer Presets and Impulses... Gone?!

    I'm stymied...
    Been wanting to audition some Space Designer reverbs, but for some reason all of the presets were gone from the settings menu. I don't remember what I did exactly, but I found them and moved them into the SD settings folder somewhere on my system. And now I have all of my presets back. But...
    Every time I load one of the presets, Logic asks me where the .sdir file is for it.
    This never used to be a problem. Why it's different today is beyond me. But anyway...
    Can someone please tell me where .sdir files are supposed to be located? And also, just so I'm sure everything is where it should be, where should the SD preset settings live?
    -=iS=-

    Works perfectly.
    For some reason my impulse responses and settings were in two places:
    iSchwartz HD/Library/Logic/Impulse Responses
    ...and...
    ~/Library/Applications Support/Logic/Impulse Responses
    Weird...
    Anyway, thanks again.
