Can Anyone suggest and audio/midi interface for MacBook Logic Express?

Can anyone suggest an audio/midi interface for use with a MacBook and Logic Express? I'm seeing a lot of problems with Tascam devices; does anyone have an interface that actually works well? Two audio inputs and midi i/o would suit my current needs, but more would be fine if it works.
Thanks!

Any of the Pro-Tool Mboxs will work with Logic Express. Kind of an unadvertised feature. But I have an original M-box with very nice Focusrite Preamps that works like a charm. No midi though.. some of the newer M-boxes have them.
Also, I have a Presonus Firebox and I know they make some smaller interfaces. No problems working with those.
M-audio Makes some great interfaces too. Their Fast Track pro would probably have everything you need for under $200.

  • Audio/midi interface for macbook pro with OSX 10.7.4?

    I have been running Sibelius and GarageBand with my keyboard and sometimes vocals in my  imac with OSX 10.6 via an old Tascam US-122 interface. I now have a new MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.4, and am set up to run Sibelius and Logic Pro 9, but I can't seem to find a compatible audio/midi interface. There is plenty of discussion on M-Audio's site, but as of May '12, still incompatible. Ideas? Thanks. John

    Yeah, the new MacBooks are USB3 i.e. you have to be careful which interface you use as some of them don't work yet.
    Personally I have a NI Tracktor control 2 for live work ( works with USB 3 but no midi ) and a Focusrite Saffire for recording. My Saffire however is Firewire.
    I do know that the Focusrite Saffire 6 is now working on USB 3 though. http://us.focusrite.com/usb-audio-interfaces/saffire-6-usb  + it works with Mountain Lion.
    Sadly though it's still a backward compatible USB 2 inteface, but... if you're only recording Guitar and vox, this really won't matter to be honest.
    Also I'd recommend Focusrite over M-Audio gear any day of the week.

  • Audio/midi interface compatibility with Logic Express Mac osx 10.6.5

    hi all, I'm looking for a compatible audio/midi interface to use with the latest mac os. I recently purchased a Ediroll UA25 but was unable to get it working . I installed the latest drivers from the Roland site but when plugged in it just wasn't being recognised. I sent it back and got a full refund but now I am insure if the Ediroll was faulty or if it wasn't compatible with os 10.6.5. I am now in the process of looking to purchase another interface but am looking for help from you guys.
    Thanks in advance,
    kiev

    Hi,
    just out of curiousity: did you use the UA-25 or the UA-25EX? I know the 25EX has a driver switch on it's back where you can enable a standard driver which should be compatible to OS X without an additional driver.
    However, i didn't find another interface including a compressor except for the Yamaha Audiogram 6, if you need this feature.
    If you don't need it, buy a MOTU, preferably with firewire, or a Presonus. If you want quality, maybe an Apogee Duet. I myself - due to shortage of funds - still use either my Tascam Fireone or my Alesis I/O 2. The Alesis sounds nice for it's price, but i won't buy any of these lower end interfaces anymore. You get what you pay for. I also used the Edirol UA-25EX for a time, but this was before snow leopard, so i can't really say "Yes or No", but it was definitely a very good interface compared to it's price. I won't recommend M-Audio, however, but others like it.

  • Can anyone suggest an app to download for SMS messaging for iphone 3G as the message application factory installed is pretty useless and doesnt keep your sent messages in a sent folder

    Can anyone suggest an app to download for SMS messaging for iphone 3G as the message application factory installed is pretty useless and doesnt keep your sent messages in a sent folde and has no folders unlike most messaging features on other phones.
    Many thanks
    Mark

    Why do you need a Sent folder?  iOS's Messaging interface lays each conversation out like a chat or IM.  Personally, I find that much more convenient.

  • Can anyone suggest a app or programme for creating a simple text based logo with a font I already own?

    Hi.
    I run my own company and would like to create my own simple text based logo using a font I've downloaded. Can anyone suggest an app or programme that will be simple enough for a dunce like me to create vectored graphics and reliable enough to create something professional and usable, please?
    Thanks.

    I believe if you copy the font into the font folder, any application should be able to use that font.

  • Audio/MIDI Interface Compatibility with Logic Pro 7.2

    Hello,
    Is/are there a recommended audio/midi interface(s) that will work without audio/midi timing glitches with Logic Pro 7.2? Currently, I am using Pro Tools LE v7.1, along with the DIGI002 Rack. That combination works very well, with no glitches whatsover. The possibility of using Logic Pro 7.2 raises the question of what would be a compatible interface. I don't think the DIGI002 Rack has the necessary drivers, although I may be mistaken. However, there must be an interface that works well with Logic Pro 7.2.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Hello,
    I went to the Metric Halo Web site and was not able to find the interface that you may have been referring to. It looks like the Mobile I/O may be the correct one, however, that interface is much more than I would want to spend (http://www.mhlabs.com/metric_halo/products/mio/)
    The price seems to be @ $1200. Anyway, I am somewhat confused regarding the Metric Halo.
    Any additional advice/help would be appreciated.

  • How can i get a free digital download for the Logic express 9 DVD version

    I recently bought an new Imac. There is no dvd player. What gets me frustrated is that i own almost all Apple products, but i can't seem to get my DVD version of Logic Express on my new imac. I tried to share the dvd drive of my macbook pro, but that doesnot work with copy protected software. So i can't install from that external dvd drive.
    So now i have a:
    Iphone
    Ipad mini
    Macbook pro
    Imac
    and ik can't use my officially purchased version of Logic. Microsoft offers a free digital download for registered version of Office for Mac. Is er there also a free digital download for Logic Express? Anybody?
    If there is not, i feel ripped off.
    Thanks.

    Why not ask in the Logic Express forums?

  • Need your help choosing between 2 audio/midi interface for logic

    Hi, new member here. I just signed-up just to ask for your recommendations.
    I am looking to buy either the Cakewalk UA-4fx (http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/UA4FX) or Tascam US-122mkII (http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/US122mk2).
    Do you have any advice on which one to get (or a third alternative if you know something that's similar but better)?
    I'm mainly looking to record from my Roland Fantom X keyboard to my Macbook (using Logic Pro). The effects/filters on the Cakewalk device is not that important to me (since I can use software effects), but the quality of sound is the most important. Also, ease-of-use and compatibility with Logic Pro is important. The device also must include MIDI-in/MIDI-out in addition to 1/4 inch direct line in for my synth. (I plan on using Midi-In/Midi-out with MainStage in Logic Studio). Not looking to spend too much more than $100.
    I think I read in a review that even though the Cakewalk UA-4fx has 2 inputs, it can only record 1 at a time. Is the same true of the Tascam or can it record 2 simultaneous tracks?
    But in short, sound quality AND compatibility with Logic Pro and MainStage are the main concerns. Does anyone have advice on choosing between the 2 or a third option if you know of one?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello -
    It's been suggested to avoid, if possible, USB-based audio devices. My humble suggestion? I'd consider MOTU products. I own three MOTU audio devices (2408-MK3, 828-MK3 & 828-MK2) and all work just fine. The 828-MK3 has both midi and audio inputs & outputs (including ADAT inputs/outputs).
    Other people will, no doubt, suggest audio devices from other companies. All probably get the job done well. But if you're thinking about recording a lot of instruments at the same time, it is my understanding that it is best to avoid USB-based devices.
    Good luck with your search and your decision.

  • ITunes and Audio Midi settings for digital output sampling frequency

    Most of my music is sampled at the CD standard of 44.1 kHz, but some is 48 kHz.
    I have Audio Midi set to output 48 kHz with 24-bit depth.
    I've been told that to avoid having iTunes up-sample when playing 44.1 kHz music, that I need to quit iTunes, manually reset the setting in Audio Midi to the lower, matching, number, and then re-start iTunes.
    This strikes me as odd. Is it true? If so, is there any less cumbersome way to deal with this?

    Wheat I agree entirely with your last sentiments.
    I had a similar problem to 'Luckydog'.
    I have a Roland HP3 digital piano which itself is a standalone musical instrument (synthesiser if you like) but also has midi in/out and audio in/out.
    I made the mistake of connecting my Mac PBG4/GB2 setup to my HP3 via the Edirol UM2 USB interface, expecting to hear my piano's sounds recorded in GB2. Of course GB2 did not record anything when I selected real instrument track beacuse the Roland, I think, was sending audio not midi data to GB2. What I have since realised is that to record a real instrument whether it be a digital piano (or acoustic piano via microphone) is to set the GB2 input to audio and feed the signal from the Roland via its audio outputs to my Mac via audio interface. (I have a USB Grifin iMic).
    Of course I could use the Roland purely as a midi controler and select a software instrument track in GB2, but I also have a Radium 49 simple midi controller keyboard for that.
    One thing that does puzzle me though is, that if I hook up my Roland via the UM2 to a WindowsXP laptop running an app. called Cakewalk Music Creator, the Roland sounds are recorded in the timeline and can be viewed, edited and printed as conventional music scores(great for composers!!) Also the Roland track recorded in CMC can be played back through the Roland's on-board sound generator.
    In this scenario there is no audio feed between the Roland and the PC only two way midi via the UM2 USB/midi interface.
    This is seems to be a fundamental difference between GB2 and the Cakewalk product. Can you explain what's going on hear Wheat?.
    Sorrry such a long post !!

  • Can anyone help regarding an inbound interface for SAP HCM

    Hi guys,
    In my recent project I have a inbound interface requirement like the following:
    1. The HCM solution system receives the objects on loan information from the non-SAP SCM source system;
    2. The information, after certain validation, needs to be updated into the SAP HCM solution on loan Infotype 0040 with asset details.
    4. If invalid, HCM solution should not be updated and a log needs to be generated.
    The data needs flows through SAP PI. I could not find any IDoc type that can be used here but I found an ES http://esworkplace.sap.com/socoview(bD1lbiZjPTAwMSZkPW1pbg==)/render.asp?packageid=DE0426DD9B0249F19515001A64D3F462&id=227F23C7EFA911DA2B24000F20DAC9EF. I am not sure how to progress on this. I would really appreciate your help.

  • Can anyone suggest an 802.11g card for my PowerBook G4

    Just bought an Airport Extreme card only to find it's not compatible with my PowerBook G4, 867mhz which is the old Airport Card compatible which is older 802.11b technology selling for around $150 bucks on ebay. I'd love to find something that plugs in like exactly like the Airport card and use the antenna, but understand if a Wi-Fi PC card is my only option. I've seen the cards that plug in the USB slot, but only want to go that route if it's my only solution. Thanks and hope someone may have a suggestion.

    Here are two suggestions - both are PC Card wireless adapters fully supported for use with Macs:
    http://www.macwireless.com/html/products/11g11bcards/11gPCCard.html
    http://www.sonnettech.com/product/aria_extreme.html
    Either will provide a far superior method of connecting to a wireless network compared to use of a USB wireless adapter.
