Can I rewire GarbageBand2 and Logic Express 7?

Can I rewire (I mean using the Rewire Program) GarbageBand2 and Logic Express 7? Can either one be master and the other slave? My first guess is that I would like to go as far as I can with GB2 as the master and then make Logic Express 7 the master and create a multi-tempo song with perhaps other editing possible through Logic Express.

I got into garageband because, I, a songwriter, have a song for which I want to make a good demo. I am still trying to learn GarageBand. I would stay with GarageBand the whole way except that the song has two tempos and GarageBand can't do it. Thus I am buying Logic Express. But I don't want to learn anymore about Logic Express than I have to, to get the job done. I will stay in GarageBand as much as I can.
Unfortunately, even if I can get my multi-tempoed song back into GarageBand with rewire, GarageBand can't handle the two tempos. So, for that reason, I have to write this off as a learning experience.

How do i sort this out!? It is very frustrating as the main reason i have bought a mac is to use logic! Any help would be great as i am a complete novice when it comes to Macs!

You're probably on OS X Lion?
I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

Can i open mp3 in logic express?

I want to make a remix of a track by cutting samples form it and looping certain bits etc.... is this possible in logic express?

Hi,
Can i open mp3 in logic express?
When you import an MP3 file, Logic converts it into an AIFF file.
(Logic does this because many functions, such as waveform display, sample accurate editing, and so on, would overtax the CPU if Logic had to constantly decode and re-encode the MP3 files in real time for each change or edit.)

Is it OK to install both Logic Pro and Logic Express on my computer?

Is it OK to install both Logic Pro and Logic Express on my computer?
I use Logic to perform live, but i only have 2 USB drives on my computer, and i use them during my performances, one for my keyboard, and one for my audio interface...........therefore, i dont have room to plug in the "node key" in order to use Logic Pro.
So is it ok for me to have Logic Express installed, too?? This way, I dont need to plug in the "node key" (or whatever it's called).
I know i can buy a USB hub, but i cant afford one right now.
Thanks, daddies!

Logic Pro, Logic Studio and Logic Express

Can someone explain the difference between Logic Pro, Logic Studio and Logic Express?

Hi,
I don't think your friend is right on this. When you install Logic X, only the most essential part will be downloaded. After that you open Logic X, and from within the program you can download all the other content. Logic will look if you already have Logic 9 content on your harddisk, so it won't download files that are already present. So, after all is downloaded, all files are on your harddisk, just like Logic 9. By the way, Logic 9 will still be available after installing Logic X.
Whether you will experience crashes will be very hard to prodect, because these will be caused by unforeseen combinations of your computer, audio interfaces, maybe even other hardware, kernel extensions etcetera. If you wait for a couple of months, updates of Logic X will probably have less crashes. As said, on my computer it's just as solid as Logic 9.
Garittan will probably advise a fast harddisk to prevent complaints when people are pushing the plugin to the edge. I would expect that it's not a black/white story.
The AUMatrixreverb can be found in any audio plugin slot completely at the bottom: Audio Units > Apple > AUMatrixReverb.
About the Epiano: in Logic Express there is only the Garageband Epiano, I think. Logic Pro 9 had a great ePiano that they gave a new name and changed a bit in Logic X. Both very nice.
Yes, you may be right, not too many drums with brushes in Logic X, I think. Or does anybody else know where to look??
Kind regards,
Jaap

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....

Can Logic Pro and Logic Express coexist on the same computer?

Hi all,
I'm a fairly new user to logic. I started with Logic Express to test the water with it before committing to the Logic Pro. I decided I like it enough and have since purchased the Logic Pro upgrade.
My machine is a MacBook. This machine travels with me, so I am rather concerned about having to maintain a dongle when I am on the move.
Ideally, I would like to have both Logic Express and Logic Pro coexist on the same machine. That way, when I can reserve the use of Logic Pro for when I am in a stable environment but still be able to use Logic Express when moving around. Granted this would be with reduced functionality, but the peace of mind is worth that to me.
So does anyone here know if this is possible and can direct me to some instructions on how to accomplish this?
Thanks!!
Darth Vanva

I'd LOVE to be able to enable two simultaneous instances of Logic to accomplish what I want, but AFAIK that's an impossibility (unless a guru-whiz-type like Justin has some ideas on this...).
OK, here's the deal...
I have 6 gigs of RAM now. While using Logic I can access up to 3G for samples. If I could somehow run another copy of Logic on the same computer (acting solely as a host for additional plugs, not for sequencing) then I'd gladly buy 2 more gigs of RAM so that the second instance of Logic could address 3G more. I'd still have 2G left for system headroom.
And there would be an additional (if not hypothetical) benefit to doing this...
Right now I can run stand-alone instruments outside of Logic (accessed via IAC) in an effort to overcome the 3G limit. But take GPO for example: I can only run 1 instance of it. And, there is no provision for saving any edits or custom made instrument sets in the stand-alone version. So not only would I be limited to 8 individual instrument slots in the lone GPO player, I wouldn't be able to save any custom programming. So much for recall... And of course, EXS is not a stand-alone plug so there's no way I could use it outside of Logic.
BUT... if I had this second instance of Logic running and treating it as a plug-in host, I'd be able to run multiple copies of plugs (just like I'm used to) and never have to deal with any stand-alone players. And of course by saving its song file I thus save all of my custom programming.
So yeah, it would be fantastic if I could run a second instance of Logic on the same computer. Theoretically.

Garageband and Logic Express 7.2.. HELP ME!

Hello,
I have had my secondhand mac for a week. It came with Garageband08 and I have just bought Logic Express 7.2 to have some fun with
Needless to say I am completely new to this ans have a few problems..
Can anyone please tell me how I get Garageband to recognize the Apple Loops/Jam Packs that came with Logic Express as they don't seem to pull though in the Virtual Instrument browser or the Apple Loops
Also, even before I bought Logic Express some loops seem to be duplicated. I guess this means they are stored in two different folders - where is the best place to store them (and which folder should I look to delete)
Plus.. when I pull up the loop browser it says I have 600 odd loops, but the scroll down box shows barely half that amount?
Lastly, I have a few Prosamples cd's - where do I store these so they pull through into Apple Loops (this may help the problem above)
Any and all advice given to this newbie would be REALLY APPRECIATED!!

Can anyone give me a few pointer on how to rewire
ableton with le7.2??
The problem i have is that rewire DOES show up in the
environment page, but i just dont know where to start
from there. I always get intimmidated by that
environment thing in logic.
First, you don't need to do anything with the Environment if you don't need to send MIDI TO Live. If all you want is to get audio FROM Live, follow these instructions:
1. Create a new track in the Arrange window. You should be given the option to create a ReWire track. If so, select it. Your new track appears in the arrange.
2. In the parameters window on the left of screen, you'll see a value called "Channel". Click and hold, then select "Audio", then "Rewire", then "Ableton Live", then "Mix L/R"
3. Now launch Live. Any audio you play should be piped into Logic via the channel you created.
If you need to control Live via MIDI from Logic, all you need to do is create a Rewire object in the Environment, call it "Live", and change the "Device" parameter (again in the parameters box on the left of the screen) to "Live" and change the "Bus" parameter to whatever device you want to control within Live (or Reason, or any other Rewire slave). This is detailed on page 238-239 of the Logic Pro manual, which is available here (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/LogicPro7_ReferenceManual.pdf).
Sorry that I'm not in front of Logic at the moment, and some of the names of things might be slightly different. But this should get you started.

Lion and Logic Express 9.0

I have a brand new MacBook Pro and just bought a store-boxed version of Logic Express, which is ver 9.0. After installing, I got the message that it wouldn't launch because it's incompatible with this version of the OS. I tried downloading the latest update from Apple, but my serial number didn't go through as valid, perhaps since in this situation it's not yet registered. Is there away to proceed short of trying to return the software at Fry's?

Hi,
Download the Latest Version of Logic Express from here
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1015
Install it... Restart your Computer... then see if you can Open and Register Logic...
If you encounter any issues after doing this.. Give Applecare a call and tell them you are a Logic User...

Imac Internal Soundcard and Logic express 9

Hi there, I have just purchased an imac with Logic express 9 (will arrive in a couple of weeks), which has for the time being eaten up all my funds so I cannot yet buy an external audio interface for it. Would anyone be able to give me any information as to the capabilities of the built in soundcard when used with Logic? Obviously I am not expecting anything amazing by any means but is it at least usable until I can afford a decent firewire interface? There isn't really any technical information about it I could find on apple's website so thought I would ask here to see what people's experiences with it are. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Dan.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I won't be recording guitar, I will be recording a hardware synth (which I can run through a small mixing desk to boost signal to the audio in on the imac for the time being). I also have a usb midi keyboard/interface so I am covered in that aspect. I was wondering what the latencies are, and if the internal soundcard supports 24 bit recording.
Cheers,
Dan.

Using Outboard Gear With M-Audio Fast Track Pro And Logic Express

My Fast Track Pro has 2 insert jacks on the back where you can run a send and return to use outboard gear. The cable you use has 2 female 1/4" jacks (one is send and the other is return) that go to a 1/4" male jack that you plug into the back of the interface.
My question is this:
How can I get Logic Express to send a track through the outboard gear connected to my interface? On the track's output settings in Logic there are "Output 1+2", which run to my monitors I think, and "Output 3+4", which don't have anything plugged into them. There don't appear to be any other options for sending the track. How can I get Logic to recognize the Inserts jack on the Fast Track Pro? I'm running all the latest drivers if that means anything. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks for helping me on this. I'm still a bit confused on how to send the channel through the insert. The jacks on the back of my interface are "TRS Output 1+2" (my monitors are plugged into these outputs), a RCA "Output 1,2,3, and 4", an S/PDIF out and in, and then 2 TRS inserts jacks, marked 1 and 2. Each jack does it's own separate send and return which is why I had to buy the cable with the 2 female jacks on it.
I've been able to use the I/O plugin and get the track to accept a signal from the insert on input 1 (I have a looping pedal running in the send chain and was able to get it to play a loop over top of the audio already recorded on the channel), but am unable to send the recorded track through the fx send. What would I need to set the output to to be able to do this? Thanks for your time.

CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH LOGIC EXPRESS 7

I have just installed logic express 7 on my mac but for some reason none of the MIDI sounds are playing back through my speakers after i have made them in the matrix edit window. i know the program is playing the MIDI sounds because it is showing there is a signal in the tarck mixer window yet on on the transport bar it says there is no MIDI output, does anyone.
The same problem is occuring in my copy of cubase aswell which leads me to believe that there may be a problem with the MIDI settings on my mac,
ive tried everything i can think of to get it to work but its no good,
CAN ANYONE HELP ME
Much apreciated
armadacd55

Tom, some preliminary questions:
Have you gone through the Audio MIDI setup utility (not in Logic, in /Applications/Utilities) and set up your devices?
What are you using for an audio interface, a third-party interface (PCI card, USB or Firewire) or the Mac's built-in audio?
What are you trying to use to generate sound from the MIDI data - a soft-synth, the EXSP24 sample player, a Quicktime instrument, or an external sound module?

Difference between Logic Pro and Logic Express?

A buddy wants me to show him how to use Logic Express. I'm fairly up on Logic Pro, have used it for years. I'm wondering if I can get a trial version of Express to try out for an hour before embarrassing myself in front of him?
Or if there is a huge amount of difference in the basic setup?

There is very little difference, mostly in content (Jampacks, Waveburner, Mainstage..and a few of the high end plugins). Other than that they're functionally identical. same audio engine, you wouldn't know the difference just by looking at them.

MOTU 828 and Logic Express 7

I have a MOTU 828 purchased new in early 2002. Software is Audio Desk. Two questions:
1. Is there any reason to get Logic Express 7?
2. Is the MOTU 828 hardware compatible with Logic Express 7 as an interface through which to plug in instruments/mics?

The 828mk2 is a great soundcard. As for audiodesk... Here's the low down. Both Logic Express and Audio Desk are cut down applications from their 'pro' level apps which are Logic Pro and Digital Performer. I use DP for film editing, and I like it, but it is very different from Logic. I have tried using Audiodesk, and I found some of its limitations annoying after using DP. For example, it doesn't have its consolidated window which for me, and I think many others will agree, is DPs USP. Logic express is much less crippled in this way - the interface is exactly the same as Pro, and many things that Pro can do, Express can do too. There are a few very annoying omissions which is why I eventually upgraded, but Express is a great app. You might also find Audiodesks interface a little difficult at first - it's more geared towards the ProTools look of things. Then again, some people say they find Logic completely illogical. Ultimately it's entirely personal opinion, but I would go for Logic, if only for the synths and plugins. Hope this helps, and nice one for getting an awesome soundcard! Best, Fred

Garageband3 files and Logic Express 7.1.1

I gather there's a problem bringing GB3 files into LE 7. (I know I'm having a problem. They seem to import OK -- well, except for the error message about a missing plugin -- but then when I hit the play button, I don't get any sound. GB2 files don't seem to have that problem.) But exactly where is that information stated plainly and simply for those us who are very new to LE? I've been searching this site now for an hour and all I found was one post that said something like "you know by now that you can't open GB3 files in LE," which confirms that there's a problem, but it isn't precisely true. (They do open. I just can't do anything with 'em afterward.)
So the question -- is there any plainly stated information on this site about problems with GB3 files and LE3? And if so, where? I'd like to know what the story is.
PowerMac G5 2.3 GHz / PowerBook G4 15" 1.67 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I am pretty new to Logic Express, so please bear with me while I mumble...
I found that when importing GB-3, Logic brings in all tracks set to have no output. Going through the tracks and giving each of them Output1-2 instead of a bus in their I/O section made everything seem to work fine.
