Anyone use an UC-33e as a Logic control?

And if so, how is it? I see that you have to import an environment for it to work but that's easy enough.
Chris

I think I'll make it easy on myself. No MS, just NI. I'm using two keyboards. I'll use the Pro-53 for synth sounds, and have it set to see my little Arturia controller. I'll have Akoustik Piano and the B4 running on my 76-key controller, and since the B4 is set to run on Ch 1, I'll set AP to run on Ch 16 and just toggle back and forth using the MIDI buttons on my controller. If I need a Wurly or Clav I can boot up Elektrik Piano and set it to a different channel. Of course I can still use my UC-33e for the B4 as the drawbar controller as well.
It's not elegant and I won't get to use channel strips or effects but it is way easy to set up, it gives me the sounds I need for classic rock, and most importantly, it works

    is anyone using the novation impulse keyboard with Logic pro x?
    I currently have an M-Audio Axium controller but I cannot map any of the controllers.
    I need to buy a 25 key controller anyway so I was hoping to get one that works well with Logic Pro X

    I have the Logitech S530 keyboard and mouse. I had no problems with it while I was using it with 2 PowerMac G5 and one Dell XPS, but when I got the MacPro I found that it doesn't work with MacPro and a KVM switch. Logitech says their keyboard and mice are NOT made to work with KVM switches, but I didn't find that until I started using it with the Mac Pro.
    The other small con is that the mouse is made for right handed people. On the other hand, I love the looks and feel of the keyboard and all the keys. It also will do the boot up holding down the Option key for choosing your startup drive and holding down the Shift key for Safe Mode, which the Kensington keyboard will not do.

  • Anyone using Antares Auto-Tune 5 with Logic Pro 8 on a Mac Intel?

    I just bought the upgrade from Auto-Tune 4 to Auto-Tune 5 since v4 didn't work with the Intel machines, and I'm using a Mac Pro.
    After trying to tune one simple part of one song, I'm going nuts. The plug-in is full of bugs, it seems -- mostly in graphical mode. Is anyone else either successfully using this set-up or experiencing major bugs with it?

    I'm thinking it's an Intel thing.
    When I try to use the various tools in the graphical view, the plug-in will just basically stop responding. I can't close out the plug-in window, and sometimes the "options" window of AT 5 will pop up for no reason and freeze. Its "cancel" and "OK" buttons are non-functioning at that point.
    I've hard to force quit Logic a few times now, which pains me to say. Not to mention that it's setting my project back.
    Antares doesn't have a forum, and I can't find anything else about this apparent anomaly online anywhere.
    Unrelated: I've had problems with Drumagog in LP8 as well. If I try to drag the Drumagog pop-up window around the screen, the only thing that moves is the semi-transparent LP 8 "container". The actual Drumagog window stays put as the LP 8 window that frames the Drumagog window moves about. Very strange.

  • Anyone using the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 with Logic?

    I am looking to replace my Tascam US-122 with something of similar size/inputs. I've watched some videos and seen some reviews about the Scarlett 2i2, but I was wondering if anyone has any personal experience using it with Logic. I am wanting to make sure it will run with the 64-bit version of Logic that I am running on Lion. Currently to get my US-122 to work, i have to boot the computer in 32-bit mode or else my computer does not read the interface. I have also heard good things about the inputs in the Scarlett 2i2, and about Focusrite preamps in general, but I have never used them before. At this point, anything will be an upgrade from the Tascam unit that is starting to go faulty on me. This Focusrite unit seems like it could be exactly what I am looking for, I am just looking to see what others have to say about using it with their setups.

    Hi Miss Clandestine,
    The Scarlett 2i2 will work just fine with the 64-bit version of Logic in Mac OS X Lion.
    Here's a little example of what the preamps sound like: http://youtu.be/5sSBwkzdAU4 (yes, it was actually recorded through a 2i2 )
    Let me know if you have any other questions, I'd be glad to help out!
    Best Regards,

  • Anyone using iTunes 7.2 with Volume Logic ??

    I am wondering if it is safe to use iTunes 7.2 with VL? Is the water warm?
    Cheers, S.
    PS: would rather be with iTunes 7.1 with VL than with 7.2 and no VL.

    I upgraded to 7.2 and can tell you that Volume Logic seems to be working fine.

  • Has anyone used the 3M Ergonomic Mouse with Logic?

    I'm particularly interested in whether:
    (a) the *scroll function* works with Logic, and
    (b) does the simple, non-programmable 3-button design hinder the functionality of Logic?

    I am a big fan of mice with many options, and while I have never used a blue tooth mouse before, I do have a Logitech MX1000 mouse that I use for my Powerbook, and I love it. I originally used it for my PC, but when I picked up the new laptop, I just setup the PC with the older MX700 which I also love, and used the laser mouse on the laptop. Either way, I am sure anything with more than one button or the really ridiculous Mighty Mouse from APPLE will be better than a trackpad for any serious use.

  • Anyone using a NEW intell iMac with Logic?

    I've got many great responses on both sides to my question regarding my quest to determine which machine to use with Logic -- new Mac Pro (the ultimate) or new iMac (likely cover my bases for a long while and save major cash now). One point raised against iMac was fan noise smack dab in the middle of the listening field with the older iMacs. So a sub question to my original is this:
    Are there any NEW intell iMac users out there who are using Logic? Is fan noise a problem? Generally, how do you like the iMac's feasibility as a music workstation with Logic? How many tracks/effects are you running and how is it working for you?

    Before those concerns are completely alleviated, go over to the iMac hardware forum and do a search for firewire issues. Like actual physical problems with the jacks on the 20" iMac and having drives just completely "disappear".
    the reason you will find issues including firewire ones on the imac forum is because it is a forum for people with issues. it may or may not be the case that there is a subsantial issue with FW on the intel imacs, but obviously people who are having issues are going to pop up there making it seem like everyone is having an issue.
    for certain types of music production, an imac would be completely unsuitable. but for others it will be ideal.
    there drawback of having 800 and 400 FW bus shared is that if you have a 400 device it will slow down 800 devices to 400. that means it would be ideal for impiro to have either both FW drive and interface as 800's or not go to any further expense of getting an 800 hard drive to use for audio since he would not beneift from the speed.
    not a great big deal IMO.
    iMac DOES lack expandibility, but it doesn't lack horses. actually i would say (and have said) that impiro would do better with an older tower to allow for expandability because he doesn't need that many horses to do what he needs to do. and i certainly feel that it is unnecessary to spend money on a computer that would be better spent on other things relating to the move to computer based music mixing.
    never-the-less, the kind of live musician-audio-based music impiro is going to be making is childs play for modern computers. he will be able to run loads of tracks and plug-ins before a new imac will even break a sweat. even with an interface and a FW drive on 1 bus running at 400. he just won't be able to run loads and loads.
    and man....even if he decides to get more heavily into it and start buying third party cards and this that and the next thing he can look at the next computer being a tower. personally, i am changing my computer every 3 years or less - it'll take him at least that long to find the ceiling on a new imac.

  • Anyone using Tascam DM-3200 with Logic

    Anyone using the Tascam DM-3200 with Logic? Sure seems like an easy solution combination of converters and DAW control, plus onboard effects.

    Hey Joseph,
    I have this combination. I like it so far. I'm not really a "mixer" person but I am resolute in learning how to use this thing in depth!
    Anyways, as far as controlling Logic, I got it working pretty easily. It seems that the faders don't seem as "sensitive" as my Logic Control (I think I mean resolution, perhaps?). I also have not played with the Tascam enough to know what other features are mapped out besides just level faders. It is very easy to switch between a fader layer and the Mackie control layer: just one button press. One thing though is if I have logic set to auto-sync in, and play, it will receive some timecode from somewhere and then stop after 2 bars. Don't know why this is, and it means I'll have to disable the Tascam's midi if I want to sync Logic to, say, Protools.
    I connect my old 828 via Adat to Tascam and it sounds so much better than the Analog ins to the Tascam, so I'm happy about that. I have also the 8 Analog input card so I have a total of 24 Analog Ins which is nice too.
    If you have any specific questions, I'll try to asnwer them, but so far, i like the combination a lot. My one complaint - they put the Control Room volume way up at the top of the mixer. My keyboard (Roland XV88) protrudes a bit from the front of the mixer, so i can see myself getting back spasms if I reach that volume control a lot!! I guess I'm shorter than the average user! Anyways, the mixer sounds good enogh to my ears.
    Cheers
    Ken
    PS The manuals for the mixer are at Tascam's website. You can also take a peek at them to get a sense how things are setup.

  • A few questions before I buy Logic Pro (also anyone use M-Audio Ozone w/it?

    Hello. I just bought a mac (my first one). I plan on getting Logic Pro, but have a few questions.
    -Do I need an audio interface to use the program?
    -Does anyone use the M-Audio Ozone with Logic? If so, do you recommend it? I know USB isn't as fast as Firewire
    -If the Ozone isn't a good audio interface, which M-Audio interface do you recommend? (i might be using Protools M-Powered as well so that's why I want M-Audio)
    -Is there a plugin similar to McDSP Filterbank for Logic?
    I won't have too much hardware so I don't need too many ins/outs.
    Thanks

    Ok well do you have a piano? If you take courses you probably need a full piano unless you only want to do synths and pop music, the Ozone will not do. Do take this into consideration, 25 keys is very very small. The cheapest best piano IMHO is the Yamaha P60; piano playing needs weighted keys.
    The audio interface converts analog sound to digital and transfers it to the computer. The latency comes from the transport (firewire, usb, IDE), from the computer (software, operating system and drivers) and from the analog/digital conversion. The audio interface also does the reverse, it provides many outputs for speakers and headphones. It can also optionaly provide MIDI I/O.
    There are MIDI only input/outputs too, which allow you to plug in any MIDI device, such as a Yamaha P60 piano for instance.
    The controller is usually a piano like device (some aren't, they provide only buttons) that sends MIDI information to other MIDI devices (like Logic, via the computer's MIDI I/O). Synths can act as MIDI controllers but provide much more (such as the ability to generate sound).
    The Ozone is both, it displays itself as a MIDI controller through it's keyboard and 8 control knobs, as well as an audio interface with 2 inputs and 1 output. That's why it's good at what it does, it's cheap and compact and does all basic IO. But if you won't record anything, a normal MIDI controller is enough. But if you have monitors, maybe the output from the Mac isn't good enough. In terms of sonic quality the Ozone is okay.

  • Anyone using Mackie 400F or 800R ?

    Anyone using Mackie 400F or 800R with Logic ?
    thank you

    I am using a 400F as well. My original unit had a high pitched whine in the Control Room outputs but Mackie sent me a new unit along with return shipping for the original. There is another issue which I have experienced with several other interfaces including the Presonus Firepod and the Edirol FA-101 which is the firewire whine. This is easily remedied by downloading CHUD tools and disabling processor napping.
    With the 400F I also experience the random recording offset so I have to re-calibrate the recording offset every time I start up but it's not too much of a chore to turn the metronome on and patch the headphone out into one of the instrument inputs and record a couple of clicks.
    Overall, I found the Edirol FA-101 a little worthless as it just didn't sound that great. The Firepod works flawlessly and sounds pretty good but to my ears, the 400f sounds way better and worth the extra bit of hassle.

  • Logic Control difficulties with 8.0.2 anyone?

    Hello to all
    Just a quick check to see if anyone else is having problems with the Logic Control surface and the 8.0.2 update. To date the zoom function and the fast forward/reverse buttons are not working on my system, which is a G5 Dual 2ghz Tiger 10.4.11. Also, the undo button doesn't undo and the assignment buttons don't assign.
    Regards

    [edit]
    still doesn't work at all... though I can 'solo' the AUXes... just not select them.
    If I try to select them and add an EQ (EQ+Vpot8), it adds an eq to the channel that has the visual select light lit!

    Actually I have found a way for at least the instrument plug ins to be accessed.
    I was able to set up an instance of Sculpture in MS2 and record it in LE using Soundflower.
    Route the audio from MainStage to Logic and record onto an audio track in Logic as follows:
    If not already installed, get SoundFlower. After installing it.
    A) Setup the sound you want in MS2 and audio output to Soundflower (remember to Apply Changes or it does not hold).
    B) In Logic Express set the audio input to Soundflower and create a new audio track for recording. Important: set Soundflower's audio output to however you listen to your audio or you won't hear anything.
    C) Press RECORD and start playing, LE captures Mainstage's sound.
    I have not tried to wire LE's output to MS2 to take advantage of Space Designer. but since this functions, I'm not sure why that couldn't work as well. It is still flipping though a few screens though...might just be easier to get Logic Pro from the App store....

  • Anyone using Logic to score to picture?

    Anyone using Logic to score to picture?
    what is your workflow?

    I either get the QT movie delivered on DVD-ROM or delivered on an external FW drive already in the size and format that I want. I don't use DV output (I run the video in a window on a 2nd monitor).
    I create a separate logic song for every music cue, which I find works for me. it minimises the need to fiddle with locking objects to TC when there are tempo changes etc. in order to hear the other music that I am working on in the film to get an overall global feel etc, I bounce a work in progress from each song and place them in the right place on a dedicated track in every music cue logic song. time consuming but effective.
    for the film audio, I extract it to a track from the QT and run it in logic. can be a pain when having to change offsets but I have a technique for cutting the audio file to realign it with the film if I need to offset it.
    what I would like to see is far better implementation of movies in logic in general. I tried using the detect cuts feature for a while but found it pretty much useless for me. I am still finding that logic forgets what QT was saved with a song, so I am having to relocate it again, and it irritatingly defaults to looking in the movies folder on my system drive.. so instead of fighting it, I copy the QT to that folder when I can, ie, when it is not too big a file. in general I would like a more elastic and intuitive way to glide a movie start point as far back or forward as I would like, to easily align the start point of a music cue with bar one.
    that's all I can think of for now. any other Qs just ask.

  • Has anyone been able to successfully use more than 8 cores with Logic?

    I've posted this before and was recommended to phrase the question like this, has anyone been able to successfully use more than 8 cores with Logic?
    If so or if not please specify what version of logic you have, what computer since only the new Mac Pro's have 16 virtual cores, and any other information or reference saying how to or how its not possible. This seems to be a question many users need to find out before upgrading to a new mac. Thanks!

    No,

  • Anyone using a Behringer BCF2000 w/ Logic Express??

    I'd sure like to get my hands on a decent control unit and the Behringer BCF2000 fits the bill and the budget. I was curious if anyone here is using this unit and could tell me how easy it is to setup in Logic.
    Thanks,
    Brad

    I use the BCF2000 with Logic Express, and it works perfectly. Fortunately, since the firmware update (available on the Behringer homepage), the BCF2000 supports emulation of Logic Control, meaning you get to save yourself a lot of hassle assigning the individual knobs. Personally, I'd recommend it, since it seems to be the only control surface that offers nice features for reasonable pricing. My only problem is that the faders aren't touch-sensitive, meaning you sometimes have to fight with them if you've got automation data. Apart from that, great piece of equipment to have.
    Hope that helps,
