Audiuo video sync with Logic Pro

Greetings,
I am working in FCP on a HD project. I export the video (Export as Quicktime Move, Video only, self-contained) and import into Logic. I set the frame rate in Logic to 24, which is what the Sequence in FCP is at. I edit dialog and music succesfully in Logic. Then bounce all tracks to a stereo AIF. I drop this AIF in a new track in the previously mentioned FCP project, muting all old audio tracks.
The problem I'm having is that the audio (the AIF exported from Logic) drifts out of sync towards the end of the FCP sequence.
Any ideas?

Logic may not support 23.98fps (it's nowhere in the user manual). Any of you 24fps gurus correct me if I'm wrong, but 24fps in FCP is technically 23.98fps. Therefore, editing the audio at 24fps, then syncing it with 23.98fps footage will, in time, drift out of sync.

  • Help getting a vocal track to sync with Logic PRO

    I am trying to do a remix to a song which I have the acapella vocal track to. Can someone please let me know how to get the BPM of the vocal track then get the sequence in Logic Pro to sync up with the vocal so I can remix. Please help.

    Unless it is a totally robotic performance, you can't magically extract the tempo value of a vocal performance.
    If you want to be a remixer, your first skill to develop is to find the right tempo, by estimation (for the ballpark) and experimentation (for the exact value). Use an empty Arrangement (or soloed vocals) with but a click going on.
    Once you get close, you may find that you have to shift the vocals back or forth a bit as it's highly unlikely that it begins at an exact downbeat.

  • Who uses mobileme share/sync with logic pro?

    hi.
    just wondering if ANYONE actually uses the mobileme sharing preferences within logic and for what reason... do you sync between studio and home/laptop or is it just a backup?
    Im interested to the feedback people have on it.
    Cheers!

    I use it, though only to keep changes I make to my Logic key commands in sync across the various Macs that I use. I have a desktop for the studio, and laptop for the road, and another desktop where I teach. It's possible to accomplish pretty much the same with a flash drive. But since I'm already paying for MobileMe to keep calendars, contacts, bookmarks and such in sync across each machine and my iPhone, I decided to use MobileMe for Logic's key commands as well. I haven't actually tried the "Backup all my settings on MobileMe" option, though now that your question has me thinking about, perhaps I should. As far as just backup/restore is concerned, I do use TimeMachine, and I periodically run CarbonCopyCloner (which I think is a great little utility!). But an additional off-site backup for Logic Settings via MobileMe would probably be a good idea. Thanks for inspiring me to re-consider!

  • Performance issues with Logic Pro 9

    Hi,

    bad midi timing and sync, user interface is kinda slowing and less reactive, ...
    Mac Pro 2x2.26 Ghz Quad, 4Gb ram, early 2009, shipped with 10.5.6 now upgraded to 10.5.8
    Should I upgrade to 10.6.2?
    Thanx

    Hi,
    I'm using the same machine ...
    I never get any performance issues
    I bought my mac in March 2009 and I was ben ready to work in less that 3 days without issue...
    so more details about your setup are required to answare!
    4GB ram???
    I suggest to check your ram!!!
    Ram must be compatible with Xeon Nehalem Try specification!
    if you add 1GB of ram from nor clear manufactor.. i suggest to disconnect the addition 1GB RAM

  • Trying to get this "One" sound with Logic pro 8

    Hi everyone i spent like 2 hours last night trying to get this sound with Logic Pro 8 soft synths trying to find a sound exactly like or close to this sound: http://home.comcast.net/~tommykry/Weezer%20-%20Troublemaker.mp3
    The sound can be heard at 00:19 and through out the song, its like a low bass synth kind of sound that drifts down when its hit, like a portamento kind of thing. In live weezer videos the bass player is hitting a pad on a keyboard so i know its a key sound not a bass guitar slide. ive heard this sound in trance and techno songs as well. I have Sonar 8 and pro tools 8 as well and can look there if i have too, also have an Access viress Ti, But im trying to do this all in Logic. Like i said i played around for like more than 2 hours going through most of all the Logic synths, patch after patch trying to find something close i could tweak, so if anyone has more experience with The Soft synths in Logic Pro 8 and can steer me in the right direction i would be greatful.
    Thanks
    Tommy

    In live weezer videos the bass player is hitting a pad on a keyboard so i know its a key sound not a bass guitar slide.
    He could just be triggering a bass slide sample...
    It's some kind of bass sound that bends down, in a similar style to what a bass player might do. Whether it's a real bass or a synth is difficult to say (and probably doesn't matter a great deal), but in any case it's certainly compressed, and grunged up dirty with some amp sim or distortion...
    Try that route...

  • Dangerous Music D-box with Logic Pro X

    Hello; I am a D-box user and Love it! I have used it with PT11 and Studio One with no issues. Now I am trying to setup the routing for Logic Pro X and I'm having a heck of a time getting it to work properly. I get sound when in "analog & sum" mode but not in DAW mode. Yes, I have Print track set up, stems etc.. I have searched all over the internet and can't seem to find any help. I did watch Fab's video on YT with Logic 9 but still having issues. Is there someone here that uses a D-box with Logic Pro X that woudl be willing to give me a hand? I also use a U/A apollo interface. Thank you in advance! It would be so much appreciated.
    my email is
    <Edited by Host>

    I have had problems with this exact setup as well, LogicX - Apollo - DBox. All was working fine until a few weeks ago and then no more DAW S/PDIF. So after checking that the Apollo's S/PDIF was OK and checking cables with a volt meter, etc. I decided to send the DBox back for repair because all things pointed to a dead converter in the DBox.
    It turns out they found nothing wrong with the DBox, no problems at all and it is being sent back to me. I will have it set up soon and will post again here my findings. Watch this space.

  • Wha wha pedal work well with GarageBand but don't want to work with logic pro 9.1.8 on my MBPro end 2011

    Install on MacBook Pro end of 2011 with logic Pro 9.1.8 and Apogee GIO interface guitar
    The wha wha pedal work well with GarageBand but not working with Logic Pro
    Only the red light turning on and off at the screnn of the MBPro and on my Apogee GIO (Guitar Interface Midi) switch button but the effect wha wha won't work.
    HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY ENGLISH

    Pancenter...
    Yes... but I have come across some setups that came with a native SL (and even one Lion!) installation.. that somehow had a corrupted or older Prokit installed for some unknown reason... and given it's a quick fix to try.. I thought I'd mention it..
    I frankly don't think it is entirely a Prokit issue itself, but it wouldn't do any harm to try and install v7 just in case it is part of the problem...
    +1 on the UAD stuff....
    Also, at the time it crashed... according to the logs...the OP was running Ableton Live at the same time, presumably rewired with Logic... so add all that together with UAD plugins... and that's quite a load on the system...
    Finally in thread 32 there is a weird exception msg relating to the Trash2 plugin.. that I haven't seen before...
    Thread 32:
    0   libSystem.B.dylib      
    0x94c29afa mach_msg_trap + 10

    That might be nothing... but as i said, I haven't seen that one before and given what else is going on.. it might be involved too... or nothing to do with that at all!

  • I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. How do I get it to stop?

    I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop? My sound is running through the Saffire Pro 40 Interface (Focusrite) into external speakers with powered amps.
    Also, When I record I am hearing little pops in the system. I have checked all of my meters and they are not clipping. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop?

    Pancenter,
    Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
    The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Tristan...
    This is what you have, correct?
    http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
    This from Alesis..
    "The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
    Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
    My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

  • Questions about Novation Remote 25SL integration with Logic Pro 8

    Preface: I have to apologize in advance if this seems somewhat confusing. I'm sure some of the terms I'm using are just plain wrong - I'm somewhat of a n00b.
    I have a Novation Remote 25SL configured to use AutoMap with Logic Pro 8 from Novation's website and most things are working well. It's confusing at times because sometimes I find it hard to tell what mode the keyboard is in, but that's ok - it's the least of my worries. Based on what I've seen through reading the manuals and my own experimentation, I have a couple of questions:
    - Despite what the guy at the store told me, I can't seem to figure out how to select different kits from within the SL. For example, if I have a garageband instrument selected on a track - can I use the data/select knob on the SL as it is now, or do I have to program that somewhere, somehow? Or if I have Ultrabeat on a track, can I use the knob to select the different kits/banks?
    - Is there a way to control non-Apple AU plugins like the rest of those which ship with Logic? All the sexy looking ones like Ringshifter, Compressor, Overdrive, etc. It seems odd that Remote will go into Mixer Automap mode and be able to control the certain portions of the instruments, but not the plugins that are automatically loaded into the channel strip when the instrument is loaded.
    - I have a 25 key Remote. In Ultrabeat, I find the key maps miss a chunk of notes between where the drum pads end and where the keyboard starts (or vice-verse). Is there a way to get it so each key has a mapping? 25 keys in Ultrabeat, 25 keys on the board plus 8 drum pads - seems like there's lots of room.
    Thanks in advance for all your feedback.

    Follow-up research:
    Apparently there is a driver conflict between the AlphaTrack and the ReMOTE. So far I have got the ReMOTE working - sort of - in Logic using the following method which was published at Novation's Answerbase:
    1. disconnect the alphatrack.
    2. launch Logic and then turn on the ReMOTE SL.
    3. Go into the Environment window, and add a Monitor Object. Connect it to the Remote SL's ports 2 and 3.
    So far, this seems to at least get MIDI note input into Logic, but the Automap function seems a bit sketchy so far. This will depend on Novation updating Automap and the SL's firmware for Logic 8.
    As noted previously, there doesn't seem to be any AlphaTrack support in Logic 8 yet and it's up to Apple to make it work. They do support their TranzPort product, so with luck there'll be support in the next update.
    I'd really love to use BOTH control surfaces with Logic simultaneously -- the AlphaTrack with the Mixer and plugins, the ReMOTE with Software Instruments. I suppose it might take some interesting mapping but this doesn't seem like that strange a setup -- there are plenty of "mixer surfaces" like the M-Audio one, and the Novation Automap stuff is quite popular....

  • M-Audio 61ES not playing nicely with Logic Pro X!

    The 61ES has been doing some really wacky things: I opened it up out of the box for the first time last night and right off the bat the middle octave of notes on the controller were very quiet compared to the high and low notes on the board. It was like the velocity wasn't working properly on those keys or something. The sounds worked fine in Logic when I pencilled them in. But I was too tired to mess around with it more, so went to bed and figured I'd deal with it in the morning. So this morning, the middle octave of keys seems fine, but the middle G just won't play at all. And many of the notes aren't tracking, or playing- especially during fast passages.
    I pulled up Pro Tools 10 and the 61ES worked fine. So something is going on between the controller and Logic. Anyone have any ideas?
    I'm running it on a MacBook Pro with 10.8.5. And the latest version of Logic Pro X- 10.0.6. Thanks for any advice!

  • Can I connect every USB-Audiointerface with Logic Pro?

    Hello there,
    please forgive me, if my english isn't so well.
    So, my "problem": I actually informated me over Logic Pro X, and by the provided Audiointerfaces, I didn't saw my Audiointerface.
    But - Can I simply connect a USB-Audiointerface with Logic Pro?
    So, hope you understand me,
    Best wishes, "toasbrot_55" (sorry for that name, i don't know when I did chosen this name)

    All Mac OS compatible audio interfaces work with Logic, and almost all USB interfaces are Mac compatible. So it depends on which interface you have (make and model), and which Mac OS version you use.

    Hi again Bill,
    Something very strange has happened this morning. I was using Logic and thought 'I'll just plug in the TASCAM again to see if anything happens' and it just worked straight away. This is most peculiar as I didn't do or press anything to make it work. Yesterday when I was trying to get it to work, I closed the program and restarted the computer several times are making adjustmemnts but it just wasn't working at all. It seems a good night sleep has gievn it time to think things through lol.
