Cannot Record Audio using Logic Express 7.0.0 on 13" Macbook

Help! I have Logic Express 7.0.0 and am running it in on an Intel model Macbook 1.8Ghz, 13''. I do not have an external soundcard. Will this version of Logic Express allow me to record live audio if I do not have an external soundcard? I only want to be able to record & edit a single audio track, so thought I might be able to. I cannot seem to get the 'R' (Record) button to appear despite activating it in the >View< section, so I cannot arm any tracks, and so cannot record. Is there a bug with this version of Logic and the Intel Macs? Do I need to update? If so, what would be the best way to update?
Regards,
Lee

Intel Macbook 1.8Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8) No External Soundcard

I updated to Logic Express 7.0.1 successfully but the problem wasn't solved. Now if I try to update to Logic Express 7.2.0 it says that it cannot find the correct version of Logic Express. Im not sure how updating works - Can Logic Express 7.0.1 be updated to Logic Express 7.2.0?

Ive seen alot of 8,12, and 16 track recorders with a cd burner and it seems like a logical and more productive gues for me to buy a macmini for the same thing of recording and then I can uses logic express, a far better program for recording. can the mac mini handle the load of processing tracks and how much ram should I uses? thanks tim

sorry, I'd like to butt in here:
I would like to do the same thing, so I am curious about this forum and rather than starting a new one, can I get some advice on this possibility:
Mac Mini
1.83GHz Intel Core Duo
2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
80GB Serial ATA drive
Glyph External HD 250 Gig
Mackie Onyx 1620 w/Firewire
Logic Pro 7.2
thoughts?
The most number of tracks I could see at once would be 16.
Here is something I am most curious about...
Firewire Hard drive
Firewire Interface/mixer
Firewire camera for FCP
to much firewire?
Please let me know if you have other thoughts aswell...

Thank you Sir! - I had something else wrong in the expression, but the error message I was getting was a bit misleading and sent me down the wrong path.
Thanks again, and best regards:)

Can I use logic express with my Macbook

I just got a macbook and i was wondering if I can use Logic express or pro on it??

yes!
it of coourse depends what you want to do with it - but yes!
by all acounts logic express and pro will run very well on the new macbooks.
I'm using pro on my old powerbook - just about manage to use it live and it's slow but useable to get ideas down onto and am using an intel imac as my main studio computer with logic pro 7.2.3 - it's essentially the same as a macbook except it doesn't have integrated graphics and it has a faster hard disk which does make a difference. Apart from that i'm sure your new macbook would toast my powerbook in terms of performance.
Be sure to get the intel version of logic (7.2 and above) as an older "ppc" version may run but is not supported and would probably run very slowly.
Enjoy!

High pitch noise when recording audio using internal mic

The issue I am having is with the internal mic. When recording audio using quicktime or garageband.It is a high pitch noise that stays whether i am speaking or not. The fix i found was to lower the input volume of the mic in system preferences. However, this causes my voice to be recorded so low that audio is barely usable unless volume is all the way up. Looking around the web I found this gem:
http://www.usingmac.com/2009/6/18/recording-speech-with-garageband-2009
This help me get rid of the high pitch noise for Garageband. The noise still there for Quicktime. Any ideas on how I can keep the same mic input volume with out having to listen to the high pitch noise?
Any help is appreciated.

Did you do the usual stuff, such as reset PRAM?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
There are some sound settings in PRAM, although I think it's only for sound output.
Also, as a test, I would create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account (do not use Fast User Switching). In the new account, try recording something using QuickTime, and note if this problem recurs. If it does not, you have eliminated a few possible causes, such as a problem with the overall system installation or a hardware issue, and isolated the problem to something in your normal user account.

Problems recording using Logic Express 9

Hi everybody,
I'm a new Mac user. I'm a musician and I recently started to use a home studio for small projects.
Lately, I acquired some nice microphones to record a classical guitar and other acoustic instruments through Logic. However, something's going wrong and I can't make it work.
Before I describe the problem, let me tell you what I use:
- iMac (OS Lion 10.7)
- Logic Express 9
- m-audio Fast track ultra
- Rode NT5 condenser microphones
Problem:
As stated before, I'm having trouble using my microphones. Logic just doesn't hear the signal. However, if I plug a guitar directly into the m-audio box andf then into Logic, I can record no problem. Same thing if I use an electric piano (Yamaha P-95) into the m-audio box then into Logic with the Midi sound bank, everything's fine! It all goes dead when I plug in the microphones. The weird thing is that I can hear and see the signal through the m-audio box using headphones. However, Logic doesn't even show me a sign of any activity. I thought it had something to do with the Phantom power, but no. I tried and nothing. My guess is that something needs to be activated in Logic but I just can't find it.
Anybody with an idea?
thanks
CJ

Hi,
no worries, these are all good suggestions to check out.
Actually, I did all of this already, but the problem was somewhere else....
I finally found what it was. The m-audio has a software that has a board control and the "software returns" signal was off.
Also, a good "restart" of my computer made things a bit easier.
Thanks for your help!

Unable to load mp3 files recorded using Logic Express into iMovie 8

I'm having issues getting mp3 files created with Logic Express to load into iMovie...
Now when you export audio files from Logic it's usually an AIFF file...so when I play the file in iTunes...I choose the option to "create mp3 version"
Now when iTunes does this, it creates an MPEG version which I assume won't load into iMovie...mp3s only, so I drag it to my desktop and then it's given an mp3 tag but it still won't load in iMovie 8
Any insight on this issue would be appreciated...

iMovie can handle MP3, AAC, AIFF.

No Audio from Logic Express

I was using an outdated sound card in my Mac G4, I was only hearing sounds out of the little built in Mac speaker, I was told I needed an Audio Interface, so I got a fast track USB pro from M-Audio. Installed everything, now the Mac recognizes it because I was able to switch the "built in Audio" to "Fast Track USB". Even his the "test" button and it works. I now select a sound from the esx24 sample player, and before, i could only hear sound from the built in mac speaker, now however, nothing plays. I see the meter going in logic and it is recignizing the midi input notes but still no Audio sound. This leads me to believe its something within Logic Express 7.2. Can anyone throw out any suggestions?
Regards all
Cheers and thanks for listening
Daniel

When you switched from "built in audio" to "fast Track" that must have been in the Audio Midi setup of the utilities folder?
You have to do it in Logic as well places.
In case you haven't done that in Logic I will go through the steps.
Inside Logic go to the Audio menu at the very top (not the smaller audio on the arrange screen), then Audio Hardware and Drivers, then you will see the tab for drivers there and should be pretty much the same as you did before. Fast Track should show up there. Notice you can also set the buffer size here as well as a tab for 24 bit recording. Or at least you can in Logic Pro. I don't actually have Logic Express, but I know your issue is were it is in LP.

Do people who use Logic Express 9 still have uses for Garageband?, Do people who use Logic Express 9 still have uses for Garageband?

Does Logic Express 9 make Garageband obsolete? Is there anything you can do in Garageband that you can't do or wouldn't want to do in Logic Express 9?

Does Logic Express 9 make Garageband obsolete?
Depends on what you want to do. If you are new to DAWs and just want to make simple songs without having to learn about the finer points of tracking & mixing, then Garageband is perfect. If you want to get serious about recording, engineering & mixing, then Logic Express & ultimately Logic Studio will be far more useful.
Is there anything you can do in Garageband that you can't do or wouldn't want to do in Logic Express 9?
Yes: create your first song without getting so frustrated you feel like murdering someone.

Recording audio into logic?

hello,how can you record audio straight into logic express 7,i have an audio interface,just dont know how to control logic to do this.i know how to record it onto my hard drive,but just thought you might be able to record it into logic ,like you would recording midi, into a track etc..thats if you can do it at all ?
hope this makes sense.
thanx

When you record the track segment you are creating is saved on your hard drive. It is not data that is saved as part the song file itself. It is more like a link. Each segment is separate so you are going to create a new one each time you record a part of your song. Logic wants to place them into a common folder.
Logic needs to have a path to those files so it can access them for playback. It is best to have them in the song file folder rather than somewhere else on your hard drive. When you follow through with setting the audio path Logic will create the necessary folders for the different types of files it will need to access.
When you create a new song file it does not have that audio path. So, you either set up the link/path after you create a new song file, or when you try to record your first track segment, Logic will ask you to set that path before recording.
Hope that helps.

I just recorded audio using QuickTime, but now I can't use it in iMovie.

I used QuickTime 10.0 to record audio, but now I have no way of using this audio in iMovie. I added it to my iTunes library, but I can't drag it into my project to use as a regular audio file. I can't even convert it to some audio format since QuickTime 10 doesn't have that feature.
Help! I was hoping to create a screen recording demo via QuickTime and overlay it with audio using speech I recorded using QuickTime as well, but now I see I can't. Is there any way to use audio recorded with QuickTime other than just listening to it?!? Seems like a feature that isn't done yet.

The thing is that there is no unlocked phone in the US that is available for purchase. The T-Mobile phone is contract/sim free and not unlocked and for the unlocked phone you have to wait for at least a couple of months after release before the unlocked phone is available.
That is why you cannot use the phone in the UK because it was never unlocked in the first place if you activated it with T-Mobile. Sim/Contract free and unlocked do not mean the same thing. You will have to wait at least 2 months now before T-Mobile will consider unlocking your phone and then you won't be able to get 4G in the UK and you have no UK warranty, only US where you purchased the phone.
Why not buy a new phone in the UK that is unlocked and sell the US one?
