Hi every body,
First of all sorry for my bad english I'm from Switzerland
I myself acquired one east west choirs, and I encountered the same kind of problems.
But I have a new mac pro 2.4 Ghz 12 GB RAM processor 2*6 core.
It Looks like I should be able to hack the pentagon to install this program correctly.
First, it often bugs, it crashes 2/5.
It also crashes when I load the WordBuilder,
when I load a bank, and I add one more, there are problems with the transpose. And very difficult to manage the problem touching the transpose cause bank load more than 8-10 samples and sometimes nothing moves when you touch the transpose.
Notes are also arranged on the keyboard completely strange way, for example, a bank plays in C in the middle of the keyboard and the same bank plays in G to the bottom notes, so you're in big **** even if you manage your transpose problem. The same instrument change tone!
So when I mix the bank I find a lost bottom note, lost at the top of the keyboard while playing and angelic note by mistake! The only way it's tu put down the transpose to get off this note but after you turn back with your tonality problem.
I contacted the dealer. He told me to uninstall the program and the re-install, describing me a procedure for mac which steps doesn't really appears like in the dscription.
I bought extansion that goes with this and I'm really angry given the price $ 600.
Is there someone who knows what program it is, is it a big scam or a monumental BAD series???
I wanted to buy the strings and brass too, but I strongly believe that I'll never approach an east west product or other product that would use the PLAY WIZARD, it seems they decide to sell technology that is not at all successfull and finished.
Could someone help, some one who has got this application and could answer; even if it's to hear "throw this **** to garbage and forgot" lol

  • How can I get my Korg M50 Workstation to work in Logic?

    I'm assuming I have to get a MIDI interface.... Will this allow me to use the sounds on my Korg keyboard in Logic 8 Express and record them in Logic in perfect quality? In Logic, how do I get it to recognize my Korg?
    Any help would be great, I'm new to all of this and the manual is making me nuts!

    Learn something: Nothing in life is "safe". But you can buy one if you really want to However, like i said: If you have the opportunity to test one in the store, go for it.
    I would recommend a firewire interface, but that's totally up to you. Many here would recommend the Apogee Duet, but we've heard of broken devices there, too. I myself have a broken Alesis that needs multiple plug into USB / pull out of USB to start up, but once it works, it is great. I used an Edirol UA-25 EX with great pleasure and usually work with the Tascam Fireone.
    To test the Thing, connect a dynamic mic and record something with the Gain knobs turned to full gain. Listen to the hiss. Listen to the soft background noises of the room you are testing in (maybe cough or tell something far away from the mic, hear a car passing by or so). Buy the one with the least hiss while having clear and crisp background noises.

  • I can't get east west symphonic choirs to work in logic

    Hi,
    I'm having huge problems with the EW Symphonic Choirs software. Firstly I followed the videos that come with the discs and it works to a point. but then it all goes horribly wrong.
    It says that I should create a midi track to record into and output the details of this track to an audio track. The only thing is that when I play these notes in the audio track they're all a semitone below the midi track! I can't understand this at all. So basically I have a melody that sounds all in simultaneous semitones, excrutiating for the ear!
    Then, there are only two possibilities for voices as the wordbuilder that comes with SC only has 4 ports. So it is impossible to play even an SATB! So in a sense its not really choir software at all, more like a vocal ensemble since you can only combine two of the 4 voice groups.
    More problems occur when I try to bounce the track, awful as it sounds, off to an aif. When listening back I get the voices cutting in and out with crackling sounds and stuttered speech. Also I can also hear the click as well crackling under the voices. I have never heard anything like this before with other software.
    Is there some setting that will fix this? My RAM is only 2.5, maybe this is a problem?
    I tried contacting the East West support team but they don't reply. To be honest this is putting me off ever buying anything from them again. I might get a refund soon if these problems persist.
    Any help you have would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can't get my old mbox 1 to work with logic pro.

    i recently just got a quiksilver g4 to use for my home studio. i have logic pro, but i'm still saving up for a new interface. in the mean time i need to use my mbox1. i can't find the install disks for the drivers anwhere. does anyone know where i can find the drivers? please help me. i'm like a kid in a candystore with no money!

    I was out of town for a few days. I had no issue installing the driver on Mountain Lion (10.8.2). What specifically happens when you try to install?

  • Garritan Personal Orchestra with Logic?

    Is anyone here using the Garritan Personal Orchestra with Logic?
    How stable is this within Logic, any troubles?
    Also, how do the solo string instruments sound, realistic or synthy?

    I have absolutely no problems with using the Garritan Personal Orchestra (GPO) with Logic. Currently, the GPO uses Native-Instrument's +Kontakt 2 Player+ as do many, many other instrumental libraries. With that in mind, the other instrumental libraries (powered by +Kontakt 2 Player+ ) work just fine with Logic as well. Very shortly, though, the GPO will be coming out with its own "player" called Aria. To make a somewhat long story short, Aria works just fine with Logic as well.
    As for the sound of GPO's solo string instruments. . . . I tell you, any of the sounds can and do sound unrealistic or synthy if played without manipulation. What makes them sound quite realistic is a tiny bit of effort with controlling the volume, vibrato, and a couple of audio parameters that can (and should) be manipulated during the sequencing process. But this is true for most if not ALL orchestral libraries made by any of the other instrumental software companies. For just a little under $200.00 (USA) dollars, you get a whole LOT of orchestral instruments that sound quite convincing. . . with a little effort! I would say that GPO is an EXCELLENT orchestral library to start with if you plan on doing lots of orchestral compositions for almost any musical situations. If you're like me, than you might want to later invest in other orchestral libraries and use them in combination with the GPO library. Again, with a little effort, one can achieve an even MORE realistic sound using combinations of instrumental software libraries.
    But I suggest that you simply visit the GPO site. There you'll find a HUGE selection of demos that show off the GPO library in a very convincing way! I have heard examples by people who put a whole LOT of effort in their sequencing project that just sound very, very life-like! So not only did they put LOTS of effort in manipulating the individual orchestral sounds (including strings), but they put LOTS of effort in planning careful instrumental placement in the stereo field, proper use of reverb, EQing, etc., etc. There truly are examples of very life-like sounding orchestrations using GPO on the official web site! (There are also some very less than convincing examples as well.) So, take some time and explore the web site: http://www.garritan.com.
    You'll find even MORE examples at: http://www.northernsounds.com
    Good luck with your decision. . .
    Ted
    P. S. Just for a little clarification. . . . the +Kontakt 2 Player+ (that currently houses GPO and many other instrumental libraries) can be a bit of a challenge to configure to work properly with the multi-instrument function found within Logic Pro 8. It's also a bit of a CPU and memory hog. But with some adjustments and some proper configuration, the +Kontakt 2 Player+ and its instrumental libraries that it powers will work just fine with Logic.

  • Garritan Personal Orchestra Crashes Logic

    I recently purchased Garritan Personal Orchestra to use in Logic express. The other day I created some tracks. When I went to open the project today everything loads (eventide plug in, UVI workstation) but crashes when it gets to PO and its Aria player. NOw it seems I can't open anything. Any thoughts as to how I can fix this issue? Thanks...

  • Garritan Personal Orchestra Not Available

    Hi,
    I'm running Logic Express 7.2 on an Intel Mac. I just installed Garritan Personal Orchestra and it is not visible in Logic. Is there something I need to do in Logic to let it know that it's in there or is it something in Garritan?
    Thanks
    Pete

    The Mac Intel update is on the NI site, has been for 2 or 3 days.
    You will need to get the Kontakt Player 2.2.1 update with updated Garitan library items.
    Once installed, in Logic you select Kontakt Player 2, (I think in the previous version you had to select GPO), apart from that it's all working fine.
    If you registered your version the update is free from NI

  • Garritan Personal Orchestra

    Hi. Does anyone have any idea how to set up Garritan Personal Orchestra on an Intel Mac in Logic 8? Have tried Garritan website but , their info only concerns Logic 7.
    Any info very much appreciated.

    Been several months, so I don't remember all the details, but I do remember it as being not that big of a deal. I think it involved updating Kontakt player.
    Ahh, yes, I think this should explain it/get you on your way:

  • Garritan personal orchestra and Logic

    Hi all,
    I just bought the Garritan personal orchestra and installed it but when I open Logic it keeps crashing validation in the AU manager and if I tick it anyway Logic just crashes.
    What to do?
    Any ideas please.
    JBlen

    JBlen,
    I had the same problem, and it's maddening. The answer is that you have to load all GPO instruments as 'stereo.' It's some compatibility problem with Native Instruments' Kompact player.
    Load 'em as stereo and you should have no problems.

  • Garritan Personal Orchestra on Intel Macs?

    Hi folks...
    Before I buy the Garritan Personal Orchestra for my Macbook Pro, I was wondering if any users know whether how this would run on an intel mac, (I have not used any non-Logic plug ins before).
    It doesnt appear to be availbale in universal binary. I assume it will then run through Rossetta. Is this correct? If so, what kind of drop in performance might be expected? Is it possible to use non-universal plug ins on an intel driven Logic system?
    With best wishes,
    S.

    I certainly would not be too confident in it running under Rosetta.
    GPO is a reasonably hungry plug for a sampler. (the Kontakt engine isn't real efficient on the Mac platform at this point in time, compared to EXS for example).
    GPO is great value for money, but since it isn't available as a UB, I wouldn't touch it as yet. It will be available eventually, as will all the Kontakt engine sample libraries.... but not yet!

  • I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my Mac computer and still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help?

    I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my iMac computer and it still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help? There are 12,733 songs, a few dozen of which are not going to be in the Apple music library because they are unique to my collection. Also, some titled "Track XX" and no artist. I assume these would either not upload or else just be uploaded. But, after an overnight of step 2, the iTunes match program was still on song number 7384 or 12733 (it was on that number for over 12 hours). Looking in the music library, activating the iCloud icon and status fields, there were hundreds of songs with the status "waiting."

    Well it could still be a software problem if you installed a third party program after the OS X wipe and install, because by booting into Safe Mode it disables certain functions of OS X and hardware. Check for updates or problems for all your third party software, include everything, including menulets, System Preference panes, hacks and so forth.
    If you restored any sort of software from backup like TimeMachine, it likely was corrupted data and now is returned.
    If the college tech support found a lot of dust clogging the rear exhaust vents behind the fans, then likely the heat damage done to the machine has already occured and can't be reversed. Video cards are usually first to go, which Safe Mode does disable the video card somewhat.

    Too bad this is occurring to a mere 4 year old machine, but dust will do that. Here is the culprit that Apple doesn't tell anyone about.

  • Logic Express - Garritan Personal Orchestra - Kontact player 2

    Nutshell: I have Garritan Personal Orchestra and Kontakt Player 2 (also Sibelius 5). I want to be able to lay down live tracks using my USB MIDI keyboard. I have tried Audacity but it won't work - although it does on Windows!
    Would Logic Express allow me to do just this? ie import & use not just the sounds that come with it but the Garritan sounds or the NI instruments that come with Sibelius 5.
    Thanks
    Nick

    ok, sussed it! install Garritan with the Audio Units option (go to Custom install)
    Then, restart your mac... From Logic Express, start a new track (Software Instrument) and select it. From the left-hand mixer line click the blank grey box underneath I/O and select AU Instruments -> Native Instruments -> Kontact Player 2

    i'm currently using 3gs. My 'Personal Hotspot' option suddenly dissapear from my 'Settings'. How can i get my 'Personal Hotspot' option back?

    The iOS5 upgrade for the iphone allowed network operators to control the availability of the 'personal hotspot' feature. If your operator is one of those who charge extra for tethering (and most do) then by upgrading to ios5 you've facilitated them to remove the option for you.
    Apple bowed to the demands of the opertators on this one.
    I am with Tesco(O2) and as soon as I upgraded to ios5 I lost the 'personal hotspot' option.
    I have the last laugh though; They cant control my Android phone so I put the Tesco mobile sim into that when I want to use tethering.
    Get an Android phone or if you're in the UK use Three mobile who allow tethering.
