Compatability of Logic Express and Protools with Mbox2

I see others have found this incompatiblity between protools and Logic Express. I've downloaded the driver which allows using Mbox2 as a standalone interface. Still crashing occurs. Do I have to ditch Mbox2? Any suggestions guys?

I think for both questions the answer is www.digidesign.com -> pro tools -> community forum

I am trying to connect Garritan Personal Symphony to Logic Express and Garageband. A dialog box pops up and asks for plugin Garritan-P. Where do I find it and what do I do with it. I can't locate this plugin doing searches on any of the porgrams.

Help Required Please with Logic Express and Yamaha O1X

Hi, I'm a new Logic and Mac user. I have just installed Logic Express and I am trying to get my Yamaha O1X mixer/ interface to work. I have the MLAN Tools installed and I can load a demo song into Logic. The meters on my Mixer are moving, I just cannot hear any sound. Doesanyone know the correct way to set this up to work correctly??
I Mac 20" Mac OS X (10.4.9) Intel Dual Core 2.46 Ghz with 2GB Ram

Answer these questions for me:
Is the Monitor A/B switch green or off?
Do you have the faders 1/2 raised on the 01X in the INST tab, and is the Stereo fader raised?
Where is your amp/speakers connected to on the O1X?
Should be connected to monitor L/R out with the A/B switch off (not green).
If you load the logic demo are the meters moving?
Is Logic selected as your DAW on the O1X utility tab?
In your AMS settings....MLAN should be selected for the inputs and outputs
Make sure you did This!!!!
To monitor your computer's audio outs via the 01X go to the surface of the 01X. In the upper right click INTERNAL MODE (2nd button from left, top of the 01x next to REMOTE).
Go to the right of the 01x there are 5 white buttons for
AUDIO/INST/MIDI/BUS/AUX/OTHER. Choose INST - bring up the faders on Channels 1 and 2. Pan them left and right by clicking PAN (one the surface of the 01X in the PAGE area once, then using the knobs beneath the green screen mLAN 1 and mLAN 2 and spinning the knobs left and right), and control your master volume with the master fader. Use the headphone volume to adjust output level.
Very important......if you did all of this, play a song from itunes see if there is audio if not you have something connected wrong.
If you get it from itunes and not logic....then we need to look at logic!
You need to run logics setup assitant and make sure in the controller setup the O1X is showing! Click rebuild defaults in the controller tab of logic....you should see the faders move!
let me know....i will stick with ya till we get it working.

I have East/West Symphony. Will it work with Logic express and do I have to have that little red usb drive in the computer to authorize it?

I have East/West Symphony.
Will it work with Logic express and do I have to have that little red usb drive in the computer to authorize it?
Also, would it work with Garageband??

Thanks-that's the same driver I'm using now.
The M-audio techs were unable to tell me if Quattro would work with LE8, so I've been wasting my time and money trying to make it work.
They also gave me conflicting opinions as to whether or not "tip" polarity was an issue when using an after-market adapter. One said definitely yes, one or two others said definitely no.
Their phone tech line has a 20 to 40 minute wait when I call. The online support system is confusing, which even they admit. I don't think my next interface will be from M-audio.
Thanks very much for the response, it helps me get beyond this phase.
Is the Quattro of any use for anybody else (i.e., can I sell it or give it away)?

Logic Express and Silent Violins ...

Hi all,
I am new to Logic Express and try to explore it's capabilities ...
My endpoint is this: I want to be able to record a silent violin (normal analog audio output) directly as a MIDI file onto Logic Express.
I have searched the net, but have been unable sofar to find a solution. Is it possible at all? Is there a plug-in that converts WAV.files straight into MIDI as you record?
Or is there any other hardware or software based possibility?
There used to be a company by the name ZETA which produced violins with their own proprietory MIDI converter. Problem is, they are out of business and their MIDI converter was only working with their own instruments. I am looking to use a Yamaha Silent Violin to achieve that.
All help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,
there's an onboard solution from Logic: Open you recorded Audio in the sample editor. Select Factory -> audio to score. Depending on your audio material, you must fiddle around with the settings to get an acceptable result. The engine will generate a MIDI region overlapping your audio file. Drag it to a software instrument track to test the results.
Otherwise, i would recommend the Roland GK3 Guitar to MIDI converter pickup. I don't know if it works with a violin as well, but i heard of other people using it. Cost around 150-200$

Logic Express not syncing with phonics firewire board via audio midi

I am unable to get my logic express to sync with the phonics helix firewire board. the phonics board is recognized by the midi audio set up, but only sometimes.
I have tried adjusting the sample rate in logic and in audio midi and I have tried switching the clock source from mac to device as well as changing the firewire chord.
I am unable to get sound through the board to the computer or from the computer through the board.
I am also receiving error messages regarding the programs reading of the sample rate.
Please help.
Thank you

I received an excellent pointer over on the Mackie support forum, and that was to set up an Aggregate Device in the OS X Audio Midi Setup utility.
That worked great, and now I have analog input to my 400F, and output/monitoring on my Mac's Built-in Line Out/speakers.

Logic 8 and ProTool 7.4 on same machine?

Does Logic 8 and ProTools 7.4 HD play together ok installed on the same machine? OS is 10.411.

Hi,
The answer is yes.
I am using 2 system;
OS10.4.11, PT7.4cs7, Logic 7 and 8
OS10.4.9, PT7.3.1cs7, Logic 7
The thing is Logic 7 and 8 on OS10.4.11 can only show 20% of Audio Suite plug-ins on Sample edit window for some reason. When I found this issue, I decided to copy the clone back up system which was OS10.4.9 onto the 2nd patition of the main hard drive. Logic 7 shows all Audio Suite plug-ins without problem on 10.4.9.
DAE engine of PT 7.4 seems to give a little bit better stability to run Logic (DTDM and DAE).
But I 've been using PT7.3 and Logic 7 on 10.4.9 as a main system.
I am totaly happy with the combo.

Garageband Files on Logic Express and vice versa

My daughter uses Logic Express at school (sorry, I don't know which version). She has been trying to do her homework on our eMac (OS 10.3.9) using Garageband 1 and her M-Audio midi/usb keyboard via USB.
Her teacher says that Garageband files should work fine with Logic Express and vice versa.
The problem is they don't. We have tried importing files, also saving in one programme and opening in the other - all to no avail.
Presumably we are doing something wrong somewhere. Does anyone know how to get Logic Express to use Garageband 1 files and vice versa, please?
One more point of information, she saves the files to a 'PikaOne Slim Flycase' 40gb Portable HD to take to school to use on an Apple Laptop type computer (Powerbook?). Both home and school machines appear to be working perfectly with this device.
She also has some software called 'Logic Hit Kit' but I don't think this is has anything to do with Logic Express. It's files do not work with Logic Express either

That is correct, and you still have your level
status, it just doesn't show. I read in The Lounge
(for level 4 & 5) that they were planning to return
the level status and custom icons to the forum. But
it has been a long time now, and they haven't. I miss
my custom icon
Yes, apparently they intend to at some point. But, they have more pressing things to attend to first, so it might be a while. I have discovered that there's a special forum about this.

Logic Express and Roland RD700

I'm new to Logic Express and have been doing quite a bit of online reading, trying to get things set up. I have a PowerBook G4, Logic Express 7, and a Roland RD-700 piano. The Roland keyboard has MIDI in/out and audio out which I've connected to my computer using a MOTU FastLane and M-Audio FireWire Solo respectively. I realize the keyboard can function as a controller (using the sounds that come with LE) or as a sound generator (using the internal sounds). What I'd like to do is to use Logic Express to compose, sequence, arrange, etc songs using the sounds from the keyboard.
Now, I know that I can change the sounds for each of my tracks by using the keyboard itself, but that gets kinda tedious - especially if I'm changing them often to see what works best. What I'd like to be able to do is to use Logic to change the keyboard's sounds... but how?!
I've done some online research, and here is the sum total of my knowledge:
- I know that my keyboard is a multi-instrument and that it appears in my Logic Environment
- Each multi-instrument has 16 sub-channels which share the 15 banks assigned to the MI instrument, and that each bank can have 128 preset names
- I know that each of the sounds in the Roland RD-700 keyboard is described by a unique combination of MSB, LSB, and Program Change numbers
- I've already copied from rolandus.com a list of all the sounds and their MSB, LSB, PC and I'm ready to paste it somewhere in Logic... but I'm not sure where/how.
And that's about all I've got. I have a feeling that the answer involves using Define Custom Bank Messages somehow, but I haven't found any clear instructions on how to do so.
If you can kindly reply, please try to be as specific/detailed as you can to help the beginning Logic user. Thanks so much!

For a start, this is the Logic Pro forum, not the Logic Express forum, you should have posted there instead.
All the stuff you are asking is in the manual. Read the sub-sections which speak about Multi instruments, particularly the section on the Multi Instrument Window (page 168).
You may, or may not, need to use Custom bank messages. It depends on whether the RD700's bank select scheme complies with the preset bank-select settings that are available in the Multi Instrument Window. (try the various roland presets in the bank select list first, and see if they address all the banks correctly)
Use the 'paste all names' command to paste the patch lists in the Multi Instrument Window, a bank at a time.

Working with Logic Express and Sibelius Student

Help! I just downloaded Sibelius 6 Student edition and my Logic Express 9 files are playing back with all voices as piano. What's the fix?

Hi,
you probably have to change the program select value at the start of each MIDI track and/or select another MIDI channel for this track.

Logic Express 9 running with Tascam US-122 - possible?

Hello,
I've been scouring support forums and the Logic user manual all day and unfortunately cannot seem to find an answer to this:
Is it at all possible to run Logic Express 9 with the Tascam US-122?
I've just converted from PC to Mac in the last couple of weeks: all of my software and drivers are all up-to-date so that should not be an issue. Obviously that means that I've previously been using my Tascam with Cubase on the PC, and I was really hoping it would cope with Logic too. The problem is that Logic does recognize the Tascam but when it comes to recording, I can't get it to work. Apparently it's something to do with the sample rate?
Please help - if it can be avoided, I don't want to have to buy another device. Any advice or answers would be very much appreciated!
Thank you.

It sounds like you have the same setup as us.
I (oops, wife) has a brand new iMac, a Tascam US-122L and a Yamaha KX8 controller. She started with GarageBand, then bought Logic Express 9 and just yesterday we ordered the upgrade to Logic Studio.
Like any new computer setup of course nothing worked right away.
She plugs her guitar into the Tascam but it didn't work until we changed to Input 2 in Logic (or was it GarageBand, sorry I am getting them confused).
Anyway, my point is that you should not need any more hardware to make it work. We have yet to plug a mike into the Tascam...that will be the fun for the weekend....lol
Good luck,
Paul

Logic express and pro 7 to logic studio 9 upgrade question

I have logic express 7, logic studio 7, and just upgraded to logicstudio 9, but my serial number is not recognized. All my copies should be registered with apple already, so how should i best remedy this?

Hi again and thanks for the reply.
I tried to follow your instructions but isn't working still. I think I did something wrong. Here is what I did:
1. Went to Midi Setup, double clicked on IAC driver and then checked the "device is online" box. It says its on Bus 1.
2a. In pro tools, went to peripherals, at the synchronization tab I left MTC reader port: ANY and put MTC Generator Port: IAC Driver, Bus 1
2b. Then went to the Machine Control tab, enabled MIDI Machine Control and set it to IAC Driver, Bus 1.
3a. In Logic Express I went to preferences>Midi>Sync and selected listen to MMC Input and took Midi Clock off. I see where it says MTC but there isn't a place to make it the slave.
I know I'm not doing this right because I hit play on Pro Tools and Logic Express just laughs at me
Can you help me through this. I'm a novice with Macs and Syncing.
Thanks again friend.

Logic Express and Garritan Personal Orchestra

Hi. Please can somebody explain (simply!) how to access Garritan sounds in Logic Express 8.
Many Thanks
Nick

Straight from the Garritan website:
http://www.garritan.com/GPO-features.html
+No Sampler Required:+
+The collection comes integrated with the acclaimed Kontakt Player 2 sample player from Native Instruments and works as a virtual instrument. No need to purchase a separate sampler. You can adjust a number of parameters – variability, tuning and other audio characteristics – so you can control the sound of each instrument individually.+
If you installed GPO, create a Software Instrument track using the Kontakt 2 AU plugin.

Will Logic Express and Logic Pro X co-exist on my Mac?

I use Logic Express. If I buy Logic Pro X can I have both versions on my Mac? I assume I'll eventually move to the new version, but just incase I have issues?
thanks.

Mate, it will run absolutely fine... But like with most DAW's it will be hosting other plugins, so alot depends on what you have running at once. But an i5 w/8gb well probably take more than what you will throw at it if you're only just starting out - It's when you get into serious sound and mastering where you need high end processing power.
However, saying that you can bounce down realtime pluging into audio files so that free's your CPU up. Plus, in my experience Logic is very efficient as it disables plugins etc. when they're not producing sound.
Have you already got an audio interface?
The only issue you will have is screen size on a 13" MBP, i did post a get around to give you more resolution on here a while back, i will try and find it for you - Just incase you need more res. The Logic X interface is a little 'bigger' so tends to cram on a 13".

Logic Express and Waves Plugins?

I have the waves gold bundle that i use with DP. Just got logic express to see if can make the swtich from DP. But all i really need is to be able to use my waves gold bundle. BUT I CANT. is this just becuase i am using LE? here is what happens...
WHen i go to prefs scan AU or whatever nothing from waves passes and forces auval to wig out and go crazy then no of them pass inspection. I can bypass this and still bring them up but they come up under the insert a imcopatible. AN INSIGHT>?
THANKS

They work without problem even when they are in the incompatible folder,but if you want them in the compatible folder you have to download the latest update from WAVES.
The new plugs will pass the AU-Validation without problems.
