0Cirruss Logic 5345 /436 = xfi usb surround 5.
hellow guys i ve been googling and found this : http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f46/cretati've-x-fi-surround-5--modded-audiophile-usb-audio-445503/ and BAM i did not see any kinda of famous X-FI chipset on da board . those guy mooded up somethin and said the DAC used CS 436 . but u can see at photos theres CS 5345 does this board contain two DAC chipset of Cirrus Logic ? and it mean . Cirrus Logic 5345 /436 = X-FI. LOL meaning I can enjoy X-fi console with Chipset Cirruss Logic. According the cirruss logic web http://www.cirrus.com/en/products/pro/detail/P086.html http://www.cirrus.com/en/products/pro/detail/P069.html i did not say cirrus logic was bad just wondering how this Chipset handle all the process of frekwensi heheh becuz its really out of my mind after seeing too much Theory of chipset X-fi power performances LOL

somebody told me in this forum that this card same just like an x-fi extreme audio. but fact of that none of this two kinda card have same cirrus logic chipset and creative chipset http://www.4gamer.net/review/x-fi_xt...amer/img/2.jpg makes me remember of watchmen movies and this is all just a jokes....

Is there any iPhone midi controller that can control logic just by one usb

is there any iPhone midi controller that can control logic just by one usb line to the mac?
Free ones would be the best!
Thanks!

If you have a Mac Pro and an iPhone, surely you can afford a router? It's about the same price a a decent meal for two.

I've lost my Logic Pro 7 XSkey USB dongle - what do I do?

I recently moved and in the process have lost my Logic Pro 7 XKkey USB dongle Can somebody please tell me the procedure for replacing it?
Sincerely,
D.D. Jackson

The biggest question here is, do you have receipts of your purchase or some other proof that you are a Logic Pro owner? If so, this should be easy.
I've been told by others that have lost/damaged their keys that Apple will only charge $89 plus tax and shipping for a new key, but only if you can prove you are the rightful owner of the software. If you bought it from Apple directly, there may be records of your purchase. However, the best proof will be a receipt or invoice that you retained.
Good luck!

Logic Pro X 5.1 surround HDMI output

It seems that Logic Pro X (all Logic versions for that matter) cannot use HDMI output for 5.1 surround mixing. Yet all the preference settings in Logic, in Apple Sound and in Midi/Audio Interface utility seem to indicate that it should be possible.
Has anyone ever had any success ??
If not, what is the best alternative ?
I have an Impact Twin that can have 8 optical outputs going to a DAC then to a 6-8 channel amplifier or 6-8 amplified speakers. Expensive proposition when an HDMI would be so much simpler and cheaper.
Thanks in advance to PanCenter for his comments.

Hello octopi - wanted to answer earlier when I get all hooked up, tested and running, but got caught up in some other business.
In any case, you'll find pretty well all the info you need from this thread. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3639822
In short, you can get 5.1 out of a Mac by 3 avenues :
1. mini HDMI (Mac) to HDMI (AV amp) - for Mac products since late 2009 - or
2. headphone converted to SPDIF (Mac) to SPDIF (AV amp) - for Mac products a bit before that (2006???).
3. an external sound card, either USB (as early as USB 1.1) or FireWire.
For recent Macs, there is also the Thunderbolt option which doubles as a HDMI.
There are also FireWire to HDMI adapters, but I'm not sure how that would work.
For the soundcard options, you need the right amount of audio outputs - 6, for 5.1 - many are 8, which gets you up to 7.1 And of course, you need amps for all those outputs, or powered speakers. Not a cheap avenue.
For the HDMI or SPDIF avenues, you need an AV amp to do the Digital to Analog Conversion, plus an appropriate wattage distribution, the sub needing much more power than the satellites, etc. So there is lot of processing to do on the fly, and that's why there are no special computer speakers with HDMI or SPDIF inputs - would almost be as expensive as an AV amp.
The HDMI and SPDIF are not equivalents. For one, the SPDIF goes only up to 5.1 whereas HDMI can go to 7.1 (or more?). But more importantly, transfers through SPDIF are downmixed to stereo then upmixed to original format - a point that caused some confusion on the posts. In any case, that will work fine for most DVDs played on the Mac or Movies played through iTunes & Quick time.
But if you want to work with 6 (or more) distinct PCM audio files, like you would if working with Logic Pro or Final Cut, then you need to go the HDMI route.
Btw, all AV amps, even the cheaper ones, are supposed to be able to read PCM - it's mandatory. Check here : http://www.the-home-cinema-guide.com/dolby-ac-3.html#axzz37kwyN8FK
But get an AV amp that can read Blu-Ray which can process up to eight PCM channels in 48kHz/24bit depth.
Hopes that helps. Phil

I cannot make the Alesis Q88 speak to Logic pro 9 with usb

Why doesn't the Alesis Q 88 speak to Logic 9 with a USB

There are many possible reasons. Most of them are your fault, unfortunately (just kidding... )
Open the program Audio MIDI Setup (it's in Applications>Utilities). In it, make sure you see the MIDI window. If your Q88 is plugged into any of the Macs' USB ports it should already show up there. If not, try a different USB port. If still not, try a different USB cable.
If your Q88 shows up as active in Audio MIDI Setup's MIDI window, then it will automatically work in Logic.
All this should however already have worked without checking this. So: In Logic, have you created a software instrument track loaded with a software instrument, and have you got that track selected or record-armed?

Recording into logic 8 with a usb mic

Hi guys
I sorry for this very noobish question but up until now I've been doing all my recording and production in GB and I finally decided to take the plunge into Logic.
How do I record voice via a usb mic that is connected to my mac?
I'm looked and looked and I just cant seem to figure it out.
Thanks very much
G

Yes aggregate device... I had a Samson C01U USB mic... I could never... no matter what I did... or tried get good recordings without long latency out of that device... After 5 minutes it would start to garble. A reset of the audio units would give me another 5 minutes... Never could get latency down... I gave up and I use regular mic into my firewire Duet now.

The iPad does support a USB to Mac connection.. use the Camera Connection kit for iPads 2/3 and the USB connector for iPad 4s or later...to achieve this...
I use USB with apps like TouchOSC without issue...

New user: Logic & surround using existing amp??

Hi
Please excuse my ignorance, but I have done some searching and couldn't find an answer.
I am a new user to Logic, and keen to create surround mixes (5.1). Using a macbook, how can I achieve this in the best and cheapest manner?
I have a hope Sony 5.1 surround system with USB (+optical etc). Can I use this?
I can't see the surround windows in Logic. Is this because it hasn't detected a surround output? I was hoping I could mix and play, record as AC3 and play this via DVD on the system?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi Paul,
You are not looking for an "audio connector" but an audio INTERFACE.

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.

Does Logic support Audio Interface and MIDI simultaneously over USB?

Hi -
I'm new to this so please bear with me :-). I have a MacBook running Logic. Also have a MIDI controller hooked up via USB.
I also have a USB Mixer that I'd like to hookup to the Mac's audio output. Currently, I have the MacBook's headphone output going into the mixer. I'd love to get the cleaner sound afforded by the USB connection. Is this possible while keeping the MIDI connection over USB?

Thanks, Fox. You're right - I just tried it out and it worked out very well (although I'm getting I high-pitched noise through my monitor speakers only when Logic is running. The noise stops when I exit out of Logic.)
I couldn't get myself to believe that the Mac/Logic could keep the USB data straight - MIDI on one, and audio on the other, but sure enough, it works just fine. :-)
Thanks!

Is there any iPhone midi controller that can control logic just by USB?

is there any iPhone midi controller that can control logic just by one usb insert to the mac?

Thanks!

Although not USB, there are a couple of iPhone/Touch apps that can control the Mac using a wireless network. MobileMouse (free & paid versions) do a great job, as well as Logitech's TouchMouse. Both will allow you to use the touch screen to control the mouse, which essentially gives you the ability to do many things in Logic. I've used them, for example, to begin a recording, which frees me from being near the computer.

Logic analyzer using usb 6009

i am having 4 LEDs which are flashing in sequence to the decade counter. i want to observe the flashing sequence of these LEDs on LabVIEW using usb6009 such as 0000, 0001, 0010, 0011 and so on...
how can i view them on a digital waveform graph...making it a simple logic analyzer... please help..

First, the USB-6009 is not very suitable for a logic analyzer because it only has software timed digital inputs. So you are limited to how fast you can acquire the data and the timing between successive samples will have significant jitter.
Within those limitations you can somewhat demonstrate the concept of a logic analyzer with the USB-6009 for slow signals. If the flashing sequence of the LEDs is slow enough to be perceptible to the human eye/brain, then you can probably get something like what you want.
Start by looking at the DAQ examples to see if there is one which is close to what you need. Find the best example, copy it to a new name and then modify the copy as needed.
If you want better timing accuracy and resolution, consider using analog inputs. They are hardware timed. With four channels you could probably get 10 kHz or slightly more.

Keystation Pro 88 (or other controller) as the Logic Control

Has anybody got their setup like this? I've been trying to get this to work for the past 6 hours and no luck. Can someone please help me? Just bought Studio 2 days ago and haven't touched it yet cuz I can't get the keyboard to fully work.

Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2007 12:03 am Post subject: Keystation Pro 88 (or other controller) as the Logic Control
I'm sure some of you already know how to do this. I just figured I'd write this up at some point to share with others. The basic idea is to use the Keystaion Pro 88 (or some other MIDI Controller) as an actual Control Surface, or in this case the Logic Control, to have more freedom with the MIDI Controller, i.e. using the group of 8 faders (on the Keystation) to control Volume for tracks 1-8 in the arrange window, and then hitting Bank Right to automatically control tracks 9-16, and as a result making a universal controller not bound by specific channel messages, or MIDI CC Volume messages etc... in short the essence of any Control Surface.
What I'm describing below is what this app will also do: http://www.opuslocus.com/lcxmu/index.php
I basically just wanted to avoid using a separate application all together. Keep in mind that the app does simplify the whole process, but Logic inherently can do pretty much everything the app does.
I recommend reading this in its entirety before attempting.
KeyStation Pro 88 as Logic Control
Part One: Add Logic Control as Control Surface
1. Open Logic.
2. Preferences / Control Surfaces / Setup...
3. New / Install / Select your preferred device (in my case Logic Control
4. Click the icon in the setup window for the Logic Control.
5. On the left hand side under "Logic Control" you should see an "Out Port:" and "Input:" ... select the desired MIDI in/out through which your device is connected.
6. Open Preferences / Control Surfaces / Controller Assignments. Make sure you select the "EXPERT VIEW" check box.
7. You should now see a bunch of different Zones in the Zone column, one of which is "Control Surface: Logic Control"
8. Create your own Zone, KeyStation Pro 88 (or whatever) using the Plus sign in the bottom left corner of the Controller Assignments window.
9. Now basically go through the existing parameters already available in the Logic Control Zones, Select what you want. You can select entire Modes or individual Controls / Parameters. You can select multiple values (only multiple Control / Parameters NOT modes) by selecting and dragging or simply with select and holding command.
10. Command-C the selected Modes and then click back onto you user zone that you created above.
11. Click inside the Mode column (or Control / Parameter column depending upon what you selected and copied from the Logic Control zones).
12. Command-V to paste the Modes into your user Zone.
13. Do this for as many Modes / Controls you want, that your specific MIDI controller interface will be able to handle.
Part Two: Assigning Input Values
1. Open Preferences / Control Surfaces / Controller Assignments
2. Now for each parameter that you copied, you will need to set the input MIDI value from your controller.
3. Click on your User Zone, then Mode, then the first parameter in the 3rd column.
4. You should see a "MIDI Input" option (this should already be set correctly as long as you set it earlier in Step 5 of Part One). If it's not set to the correct MIDI input (which I found to be the case sometimes even after Step 5), then change that here.
5. Next to "Value Change:" you will see a box with MIDI data in it. Delete the existing date by highlight and delete.
6. Activate "Learn Mode" (bottom right corner of Controller Assignments window) then click within the "Value Change" box, then move the corresponding fader, button etc. The "Value Change" should now show the MIDI data value for that fader. Be careful here, there should only be 3 groups of 2 for data here... if you see 2 groups, of 3 groups, of 2 then typically the FIRST group of 3 should be the value you want here. You can always delete the data, and move the fader again to be sure. The reason for the 2 groups of 3 is not in error: some buttons send TWO MIDI values, one on press and one on release. You can use this to your advantage and assign TWO different functions to these buttons, thus the first (press hold) value can do one thing and the second (release) value can do another. You can also change the MIDI controller to only send 1 message on press and nothing on release, or simply make sure that only the on value is present in the "Value Change" box.
7. You'll have to do this for all the different knobs / faders etc. on your MIDI controller. There are many shortcuts of course. You can manually type in the Values if you know them. For the Keystation Pro, M-Audio has an app called Enigma that I recommend for changing controller parameters and much more on the Keystation. You can use this app to assign all the actual control data that each button or fader sends to the sequencer, once you know the values you can convert that data to the MIDI data values and enter them into the Value Change box.
8. Once you're done assigning values to the controllers, you can delete all the Zones except for the user Zone you created earlier. Before you do this, it's a good idea to back up the Control Surface preference file just in case you ever want to grab something else from the Logic Control Zones. You could always add a second Logic Control and copy the Zone from that, but you'd have to reassign all the MIDI Input: values ... short version, just back up the preference file before you delete the Zones. The reason why you want to delete the Zones that you're not using is simply because if you have a controller that happens to send out MIDI data to the sequencer, and the actual Logic Control happens to have that MIDI data value already inherent it it's Zones, then you could be asking for trouble, simply put you'd be sending MIDI data to change Volume and the Logic Control maybe has that MIDI Data Value already assigned to Pan for the existing track.
The file to backup is located here: ~Users/username/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.cs
As a precaution I have always backed up my Logic Preference file WITH this .cs file. Technically it's not necessary... for instance: Let's say you trash your preferences and open Logic to find that the Logic Control is missing from the Control Surfaces Setup. So you add it back and now you find out that Logic is missing the User Zone that you created. If you close Logic and copy the .cs file back to the directory above, then upon reopening Logic you should find your User Zone is in place again. But I've had mixed results with that, so just in case I copy over the preference file with the .cs file as a pair. It seems that the Logic pref file only contains information that the Logic Control is a Control Surface on your system and the .cs file is the preferences for that specific Surface.
Another note: after a recent Logic update, maybe 7.2? ... it was whichever update added support for more Control Surfaces, I can't remember. This update basically erased all the hours of hard work linking the Keystation to Logic as the Logic Control. This only happened with this specific Control Surface update, but not with 7.2.3, probably simply because they didn't make any changes to the .cs pref file.
Anyhow, when this happens again in the future, there seems to be a quick fix. I take NO responsibility for you somehow crashing Logic on a continual basis after applying the fix. Personally I have seen NO issues by doing this at all. I simply copied a version of the .cs file with the new update missing the Keystation Zone, as well as a version of the .cs file WITH the Keystation Zone, to a PC (I think it was a PC, don't believe I tried it with textedit, although should work as well). I opened both of the files in notepad and compared them. I noticed the word Keystation towards the bottom and realized that most all the data (gibberish) was exactly the same up until a point in which the file with the Keystation data had a group that was absent from the new .cs pref file from the new update. So I basically copied the data from the old .cs pref file, pasted it into the new .cs pref file, saved it and open Logic. Logic warned me that a pref file was corrupt or something of that nature, but loaded fine anyway, and the Keystation Zone was back in Controller Assignments.
One last thing... the problem that some of you may run into is that by making your MIDI controller a Control Surface, or turning your Keystation Pro into a Logic Control, limits some of the functionality of the MIDI Controller. For instance, a Logic Control's main purpose is to control different faders, knobs and what not of MANY different tracks. When you move a fader for volume on the Logic control, it will move the fader corresponding to the selected track... it's not programed to say change the actual midi CC 7 for Volume, only the actual Fader. Thus, what if you want the MOD wheel to still control modulation and you want the sustatin pedal to continue to act as a sustain pedal. Well, if Logic sees that Port 1 is the input for the Logic Control, but in reality the Keystation, then it's only going to allow specific events through. The way around this issue is by using both the input options that the Keystation has... hook the MIDI out into Logic and use the USB port as well. I run the Keystation as a Logic Control through the USB port, and use the MIDI out for actual MIDI data. But the catch is you have to make sure you only connect the MIDI Port into Logic's sequencer in the environment. Thus open the environment, open Clicks & Ports, Port 1 and Port 2 are the IN/OUT for the USB port. Midi Port is the Keystation's MIDI port. Select and delete the cable for the SUM, and run individual cables for the ports you want to use. Thus, all your other MIDI interface Ports, the Caps Lock keyboard etc. Just be sure that if your using Port 1 (USB Port Out from Keystation) for the fake Logic Control, that it DOES NOT cable into the "Input View" or "to Recording & Thru". This creates yet another issue:
The controls on the Keystation have to send SOME form of MIDI control message / data to Logic. Well if the faders on the Keystation are preset to send Ch1-9, Volume 0-127 messages, then when you move a fader on the Keystation (as the Logic Control) since the Keystation is still reaching the sequencer from the MIDI port, you will be sending MIDI values that can effect your current track possibly when you don't want to. The work around for this is to be sure that all the faders / knobs that you want to use as your fake Logic Control are sending useless MIDI data... i.e. CC 75, 76, 77, and so on. This way moving faders won't effect playback, although you could still in theory record this MIDI data into your sequencer. You could however filter this events from entering the sequencer input with a transformer since you know precisely what MIDI CC values you are changing. The easy way to assign these values is to use the program Enigma from M-Audio that I mentioned above.
More discussion specifically related to the Keystation Pro 88:
You can do a lot using the Controller Assignments and different Zones from the Logic Control. For instance, the real Logic Control has Solo, Mute, and Record buttons for the 8 faders. The Keystation Pro only has 1 button underneath each fader. But you could use one of the other buttons to toggle Solo, Mute, and Record mode so that depending on which mode your in, the buttons underneath each fader will correspond to Mute or Solo etc. By the way, a good setup from my experience is to use the first 8 faders of the Keystation as the track faders, and the final 9th fader for Master Volume. You can then set two of the buttons underneath the Knobs as Bank Left and Bank Right buttons to change the 8 fader tracks to correspond to the onscreen track groups of 8. Also don't forget that you can assign TWO functions to EACH button, since a button press can send a value of 127 and a button release can send a 00 value. So if you press and hold a button it can activate "Shift-select Mode" and until released it can make the buttons under the faders act as Volume to Zero resets or whatever you want. When you release the button it will go back to just Mute mode or Solo mode. The Controller Assignments window has MANY options, and parameters some of which are very confusing and take a lot of trial and error to understand... the manual helps a little but of course isn't perfect.

I'm thinking about buying a Keystation Pro 88 (2nd hand) so I was googling around and found this:

I had some trouble getting the transport controls to work with Emagic's Logic, even when I loaded the 'Pro 88 Logic Preset.LSO' file on the supplied CD-ROM into Logic. I contacted the guys who designed and set up the Keystation here in the UK at the old Evolution offices, and between us we managed to work out what was going wrong. First of all, you need to enter the appropriate MIDI key commands in Logic's user preferences. These cannot be updated with an LSO file, so the commands have to be entered using the Learn Key function in Logic (see the screenshot below for the list we used). Then we discovered that the transport keys were toggling, which meant that only each second press of each key was actually working. It turned out that I had an early version of the Logic preset before this had been fixed, but the more recent one has been put on the M Audio web site for anyone else that needs it. It took about 30 seconds to change the output commands so that the buttons were no longer toggling.[/quote]
Did you get it to work correctly eventually?

Right USB Port faster than left (MBP 15 2013) ?

Hello guys,
I just installed Drive Genius 3. Im assuming bad sectors on my external hard drive. When I connect the drive on the left usb next to thunderbolt normal scanning says can take up to 8/9 hours.
Plugging it into the right USB port only says around 3,5 hrs.
Is there a difference in speed?
One more question:
Dont all new drives have SMART? My latest WD Elements says it has no SMART Status. So I cant find out any bad sectors except by doing a scan with Drive Genius?

The thing is, when I use an adaptor with the keyboard, it works fine in Logic. But the USB port cant seem to power the keybaord like the left one can. Could the USB port on the left really be broken if it is working with Logic with the adaptor?

Logic board Q

Does anyone know if a logic board from Dual USB G3 12" will fit in a Dual USB G3 14"?

I'm gonna have to go with "no". Sorry.
I really don't think a 12" logic board will have the same dimensions as a 14" logic board. You could likely hook everything up, but then assembling the case around it won't make all the ports and cables match.
