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.

Anyone using Logic 8 with 10.6 Snow Leopard ? issues ?

Using Logic 8 with 10.6, I'm aware there is an issue quitting Logic without first closing the current project.
Are there any other issues? any performance boost/ benefit?
I'm running an 06 Macbook Pro 17" 2 Gb Ram 10.5.8 currently and considering an upgrade to 10.6
Audio units I use: Revalver MKIII and Amplitube

(blushes embarrassedly)
No, my coffee was still too hot...
There are quite a few issues running L8 and L9 with Snow Leopard. My (and also from some of the pro's here) standard answer is hold off Snow Leopard until it has stabilized a bit more. Try to wait until 10.6.4 or 5 at least. Leopard only became reasonably stable with L8 at version 10.5.4, 0-3 were problematic.
Just check this forum for user reports when SL gets updated.
Since SL was released, the number of Q's on this forum seems to have more than doubled. That is strong circumstancial evidence for SL-Logic stability/reliability problems. It may be the price to pay for the price we pay.

Is anyone using logic and reason rewired on a macbook pro?

when cycling, either logic or reason loopes back a moment too early and cuts the end of the loop.
anyone able to reproduce this?
17" 2.16 MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

nobody has this problem, or an answer?

Anyone use Logic in a school Lab environment

If so, what do you use to secure the dongle so students don't walk off with it?? Anything home made or commercial??
Thanks
Mark L

Use one of the wire locks made for laptops through the hole in the end of the dongle. It won't stop the dongle being detached from the port, but it will stop the dongle from being taken away (unless they carry out the entire desk or bench, or have bolt cutters!)

Anyone using Logic Pro X with Novation Automap?

I can get the transport controls working, and the mixer volume controls - But things like track arm etc. just isn't work, and if i pan a track it goes a bit barmy.
Obviously, not expecting this to work when i downloaded Logic X, but as i'm 50% there already, i'm suspecting that maybe i can get it working at this early stage?
Quite happy to have the transport controls working if i'm honest so it's not a big deal but thought i'd ask anyway.

People from Novation told me this:
Question:
Will automap 4.7 and Impulse work with Logic Pro X ? Thank you
Answer:
Thank you for your email.
This has not yet been tested and I can't confirm compatibility.
I have created a case for our developers to look into this and I shall keep you updated with any news here.

Can I use Logic 9 on a G5 with Leopard

Is anyone using Logic 9 on a G5 Quad-core with Leopard? I have been told by tech support that it won't work, but I have heard from other people that it will. Before I buy it, I would just like to make sure it will run. Any feedback would be helpful.
Thanks

There are several people on this forum who are currently running Snow Leopard on their G5. If Apple says you can't do it, that just means they haven't put the time and resources into testing it. I just talked to Logic technical support and he told me that Logic 9.0 will not run on my G5. Yet, you say it will. So forgive me for questioning the validity of your statement. I was just wondering if anyone out there is actually using it.

Can I use Logic ESX 24 sounds for Band In A Box?

Hi,
This is probably a Band In A Box question - however - it does have to deal with Logic. Perhaps someone can show me where to look online - or just answer the question:
Do you know if there is a way to use Logic ESX 24 sounds in place of the dinky sounds that come with Band In A Box?
Thanks!

hear is another thought. could you use the staff in GB to position the chords as you want them? you would not have to play them. you can move the on the staff so that they play the note you wanted.
i don't know. i was just trying to give you some suggestions. biab seems really cool, and if it does what you need then that is awesome, but i don't think you will get exs24 instruments into it. you might be able to, but for the time it will take you you probably could just play the chords.
will logic's score not let you enter in the desired chords? i do not use logic's score, but it seems like you could just create an arrangement by dragging notes/chords to the desired position without playing a note.

Does anyone use MIDI loops in Logic Pro to compose music?

Seriously, if anyone out there uses the MIDI loops to compose music in Logic, how the heck do you do it? Especially if you are also using audio loops, it seems almost impossible to me. The chord transpositions that you get from the chord track are not even to the right pitch, and the transposition behavior is different according to whether you drag the loops into the arrange area before or after putting the changes in the Chord track. The signature track is no better, as it doesn't seem to affect audio loops. So how do you get the bass loops etc. to play in the keys you want them to without going through extraordinary contortions? I looked at one of the Logic Pro books, and it said to transpose by using the transpose function in the inspector, but that only lets you transpose by octaves! Do you really go in and edit the loops by hand to transpose each note?
Any pointers on this would be greatly appreciated.

Put the mouse pointer on top of the transpose number, which is zero, hold down the left mouse button and drag up or down to transpose by steps. At the beginning of either the getting started or Logic manual there's an explanation of the different types of mouse/key behavior, if you're not used to using Logic it's a good idea to go over these.
Also, Logic does not always use simplified Mac conventions (thank the stars for that), as a result you have a lot more variety of data input, it varies according to the task at hand.

I am trying to use logic pro 9 on my lion system and it continues to say I have a bad midi...when i go to check my midi drivers folders in my library its empty...does anyone know whats going on?

got your message about making sure to use the machine specific disk that came with my machine. Unfortunately, Apple no longer sells Tiger replacement disks. I've got a couple of bids out on ebay, and will update when I have news to add to this post.
Thank you for your help, Frank!
To be clear you called the 800 number and explained what the situation was, old machine and lost the original DVD's?
Just checking because if you just called and tried to buy the DVD's they might tell you they no longer sell them but you aren't really trying to buy them your trying to replace the ones that are missing.
Ebay may work but there is a certain specificity to the DVD's required which, even if they seem right, might not work.
Good luck either way. If you get a chance when you get the DVD's I'd be interested in hearing how it all works out.

Does anyone know if apple's one-to-one program would be a good way to learn how to use logic pro or am I better off going to school to learn audio engineering or something?

Of course going to school would be a good option, but I want to know if one-to-one is also a good way to learn how to use logic pro. Has anyone been through the one-to-one program for logic pro and can say that they learned how to use logic pro well because of it?

For sure, one to one training, if given by a tutor who is capable, will hand you the means to build up self-confidence and will therefore let you operate the hard/software in an intelligent manner, instead of going for the trial and error method which has its pro's and con's too. Once you've passed this beginners phase you will make your own decisions intelligently and then you will also start to get experience and learn even from your mistakes. Something like that in theory and the rest is up to you!
Have a nice day

HT4101 Has anyone found a way to download pictures from Samsung Gala xy 3 phone to Ipad air? I bought the lightning adapter but keeps giving me the message uses too much power.

Has anyone found a way to download pictures fro Samsung Galaxy 3 phone to the Ipad air? I bought the lightning adapter but I keep getting the message device uses too much power. Any ideas?

You can't directly from a Galaxy phone. But you can certainly upload the pictures from your Galaxy phone to your computer and then sync them to your iPad via iTunes.

Anyone use hypersonic 2 and logic express 9?

anyone use hypersonic 2 and logic express 9?

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 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.

HI. ... Anyone know of any issues with using Logic Pro music software with Mountain lion OS.. I have heard rumours in the past is that all sorted now?

At least Logic Pro 9 and Logic Pro X work correctly in Mountain Lion. Furthermore, Logic Pro X requires the latest OS X Mountain Lion version

Does anyone know how to record directly to a track using Logic's effects?

Hi there, does anyone know how to record directly to a track using Logic's effects? I know that it needs to run through a buss somehow but I am not quite sure how. Need to Di a bass and want to keep the levels down using a compressor (recording strait into a Mbox with Logic 8). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you route your Bass into a channel in Logic and put plugins/fx on the channel plus you have monitoring on (and monitoring off on your external mixer) - you can record while listening to the effected sound. However what is being recorded is the clean/raw audio - this is a good thing as you can later change your compression/fx settings - printing the effect at this early stage is normally avoided.
