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,

Is anyone using the novation impulse keyboard with Logic pro x?

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.

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 use the Panasonic DMC-ZS7 with iPhoto?

I'm thinking of getting the Panasonic DMC-ZS7 camera, which has a built-in GPS. Out of the new compact cameras with built-in GPS, this seems to have the best built-in GPS support. Before I get it, I just want to confirm that the GPS data it writes to the EXIF header can be used by iPhoto correctly. I use iPhoto '09 (8.1.2).

I recently turned the GPS function on. I am unsure if GPS is the problem, but the spinning busy next to the "Places" menu item certainly points that direction.
I would actually argue the opposite, that the spinning busy means that iPhoto can read the GPS data correctly. The fact that it is trying to determine places would indicate that it sees GPS data. More likely the spinning busy is due to something after getting the GPS data like trying to look up actual place info online to get names or downloading maps or something of that sort.

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.

Has anyone used the Seagate wireless plus with an iPad?

I would like to use this wireless external drive to store videos and then stream them to my iPad. Has anyone used this drive and if so how do you like it?

Hi everyone,
I am frustruated with the Seagate Wireless Plus. I think most of you just download movies in it and then watch it on your tablet. I thought this can be my external storage for everything including the content of my iPad. Not so easy!!! I can't see anything from the content of my iPad when I connect it wirelessly to Seagate. I wrote to Seagate and apparently there is another thing called WebDav in order to do it. I think Windows are winning here how easy it is to connect devices. Simply, I can see the demo stuff from the Seagate on my iPad but nothing the other way, no pictures, no music, no videos stored on my iPad can be seen from the Seagate. If there is somebody who can explain to me how to do it before I will return the Seagate to the retailer please do it in a way normal people understand. Don't say "I think" as most of people in these forums do, please say only "I know" and lead me step by step what to do. I have the latest iPad mini with iOS7, 32GB WiFi & Cellular with Retina display. I've already updated the Seagate OS to 2.2.0.005 exactly as they advise by installing the 2.1.0.014 prior to that.
Please forgive me for the tone but those 10 hours I spent so far without any results are too valuable to me.
Thanks in advance. Danny.

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.

Has anyone used the EMC storage intergration with VNX?

Based on the encougagement that someone got NaviAgent to work, I wanted to follow up on something else.
We have an EMC VNX 5500 on SAN with HP 580 running OVM 3.0.3. I installed Oracle Storage Connect Integration Module. It looks like it needs an EMC SMI-S provider to make it work right (or so I guess). Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Has anyone ever installed the SMI-S on the linux control station?
By the way, if you ask EMC, they only support it under a "Letter of Support" agreement, which to me feels like "we'll complile it, but you're on your own if you use it."

G'day TechTamer,
I recently setup OVM3.0.3 on a VNX5300 (iSCSI block) without NaviAgent or Oracle Storage Connect Intergration module.
I'd be interest to know if you do actually get the Storage Connect Module working.
Please keep us updated.
Regards,
Alex.

Anyone Use the Canon Vixia HF10 With iMovie?

Settled on this one after considering a Sony HDD model.
Anyone have a view?

I don't own a camcorder, but I've read that iMovie 6 requires a camcorder with a firewire connection; yours apparently has USB? So that could be part of the problem; hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be able to address the question of the SDHC cards this camcorder uses. You may be able to get the files off the cards onto your desktop and then go from there. I own a Canon digital camera and have no problems getting the movie files on to the desktop and drag and drop them into iMovie.

Has anyone used the AIP-RCA cable with their itouch?

Its supposedly completely compatible with the itouch/iphone, and is basically an rca to dock, with charging feature. I was wondering if anyone has hooked this up to their car? And is it worth it?

order my new MP with the 8800 card day after announced (over 4 weeks ago), still waiting.
Some say they have a shipping sate of next week. Other have rumours of the container ship with all the cards being stuck in port in Shanghai because of bad weather.

Has anyone used the new 5K imac with AE CC and is it a big improvment speed wise or not?

I am thinking about getting the 5K imac with the i7 4.4 GHz quad-core and AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB GDDR5, but my big concern is that the video card is not Nvidia and does not use cuda core.
I currently have a late 2012 imac with the 3.4 Intel Core i7 and a Nvidia GeFroce GTX 680MX 2048 MB and sometimes it is very slow when working with a lot of effects or layers.
1. If you have any experience with the 5K imac, please let me know how you like it?
2. Was Apple going to the AMD video card a good or bad thing?
3. Do you think I would benefit any speed gain with the new 5K imac and by what percentage.

The AMD video card is not a good hardware selection with the current media content creation software. Open CL is still lagging behind CUDA in performance and the CPU's did not change with the new Imac. So basically it's a new Imac with a updated video card and 5K screen. Not something I would suggest for Adobe if you already have an Nvidia solution.

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 clapping and crackling issues with Logic Pro x new iMac 27"

Hi, I have just purchased a brand new iMac and downloaded Logic Pro x, I also purchased the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interface. I have downloaded the drivers from the focusrite website and everything is set up, when I plug in guitar or mic I get really bad clapping and crackling to the point where the sound cuts out altogether. I have changed buffer size and sample rates and everything else I can think of but nothing seems to fix the problem. I also deleted the 2i2 drivers and logic and reinstalled them both but still have the same issue, when I record using the iMac built in mic everything is fine so it's deffinately something to do with the interface. I am waiting to hear back from Focusrite tech help. Does anyone else have this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having a similar issue which might indicate that the problem is not your interface.
Yesterday I migrated all my stuff from my 2009 iMac to a brand new iMac 27", and when I did a quick test to play back some old projects in Logic there was loads of annoying clicks and pops. My interface is a Roland Octa-Capture.
I also noticed some weird CPU spikes from time to time, which I never had on my older, much less powerful iMac...

Using the Standard Template Library with 5.0 using 4.2 compatibility mode

Has anyone used the Standard Template Library with the 5.0 release of the complier using the -compat=4 flag ?

It's not your system, unfortunately. It's iTunes 5.0. I have XP, a brand new drive and Nero. I can burn all sorts of CDs, just none from iTunes.
I have gotten several emails from Apple regarding this issue, none of which helped. The last response I got said they were working on my problem. Right now, the best solution that I can come up with, although I'm not sure how to do it, is back up your songs as a data CD, uninstall 5.0 and reinstall version 4.9.
If you go back a few days (or maybe a week) in the discussions, someone posted a link for 4.9. If you can do this and successfully install 4.9 you will have no problem burning CDs. I just haven't had any luck burning my songs as data. I have 4.9 on an older computer and can burn CDs for days. So all I have to do is get my songs to the old PC and I'll be in business.
