Connecting a hardware mixer to work with Logic

Hi,
I'm really keen on the idea of using an analogue mixer to work in conjunction with Logic. But is it even possible to connect Logic and a Mackie 1642 vlz3 via an iMac?
Nick

Yes, it is if you already have a multi-channel interface.
If you don't, maybe consider Mackie's Onyx series mixers which, with the firewire option, gives you an analog mixer and an interface all in one.

Will the m-audio project mix i/o work with Logic X?

Hi,
I have a m-audio project mix i/o interface/control surface.
Will this work with Logic X?
Thanks,
Mike

If it works now on 10.8.4, then yes. This depends on OS X and drivers (if needed), not on Logic. Logic can only 'see' hardware that the OS can see.

Has anyone figured out how to make the Yamaha 01V96i mixer work with Logic 9.1.8

Has anyone figured out how to make the Yamaha 01V96i mixer work with Logic 9.1.8 as a control surface ?

In YAMAHA01v96i:
Go to DIO/SETUP select Generic DAW. Go to MIDI settings page and set the desired port (personally I use Number 1), Select the same audio frequency you use in your DAW (I use 44.1KhZ)...at this point You should save a scene in you 01V96i to avoid to repeat all the procedure again.
Open studio manager, go to patch and set the input port from 17 to 32 respectively to USB1-USB16 (this will give you the return from you DAW to the 01v96i
Save again the scene overwriting the old one.
in LOGIC
Click on preferences, select Audio then select 01v96i, then click on control surface and select Mackie design Baby HUI and in the midi session set the same port that you've been setting on the Yamaha 01V96i (Port 1 if you follow this example).
That's more or less it.
It worked for me...so far

Will my m audio Project Mix work with logic x?

Hi, just wondering if my M-Audio Project Mix I/O will work with Logic X. I am currently running Mavericks.

If it works with any other CoreAudio based app on your Mac.. it should work fine with Logic Pro X as the key is .. if it is compatible with your OS X version. Its not about compatibility with Logic Pro X at all in reality... as LPX uses Core Audio which is part of OS X.
So do you have it up and running in 10.9.2 and does it work with any other audio app? If so which one(s)?
If you haven't tried yet, you may be out of luck as the last driver update for your device was way back.. for 10.7.4.... and some people had issues getting to work under Mountain Lion, let alone Mavericks...

Apogee Ensemble or Symphony to work with Logic?

Hello,
I'm considering to buy Apogee multi I/O hardware to work with Logic Pro in my studio.
The choice is between an Ensemble interface and a Symphony System (Rosetta 800).
I know that in terms of quality the second one is better and that Ensemble is more affordable in terms of price.
What I'd like to know is how does Ensemble work in terms of LATENCY (I hate it) and if VBus is a big +point for Symphony when mixing and using heavy plug-ins and instruments like NI Battery or B4 (for example).
Could any one help me in this choice.
Thanks!

Thanks
Then I'm more interested in buying an Ensemble instead of a Symphony System for my project/mixing studio.
Yeah, my work is all in Logic.
I produce reggae music. I record some live instrument and vocals into logic, then I work with'em and some virtual insturments and plug-ins.
I thought that VBus could help to heva a more efficient RAM usage, allowing me to run big plugins "outside" Logic.
Talking about latency, it could also be due to my USB keyboard/controller, I know.
I asked about that also because using my apogee duet with logic I had some latency when recording a voice in a porject with virtual instruments and plugins. Maybe I do something wrong.
Big Up
p.s. I visited your site. Nice productions
Do you know some links where I could master my tracks (reggae)?

01v96i Yamaha...will it work with logic pro X

I bought the new Yamaha 01v96i Mixer but I can't make it works with Logic pro, in the list of available DAW I only find the 01v96 which is not the same and in-fact it does not work with the 01v96i.
Does anyone have an idea on how to set Logic for it or at least does anyone know if the new Logic Pro X has the new 01v96i in the list?

Lyford,
Again, in regards to hardware... it is not about LPX compatibility.. It is about compatibility with the OS X version and it's CoreAudio... Once you 'get' that point then everything else makes sense...
Tascam are notorious about leaving owners of "End of Line" products 'high and dry' when OS X is updated... and as you have found... the 1884 is not compatible with Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and likely will never be so... because Tascam will not be releasing Mountain Lion drivers for it.. so, it is not something you can use with LPX, which requires Mountain Lion 10.8.4 as a minimum requirement.
As an aside, Apple have acknowledged they make an error in simply using the LP9 Hardware compatibility chart for LPX (as LP9 could be used with earlier OS X versions for which there were drivers for the 1884 for example) and have said they will be issuing an updated version "in the near future"......

Work with logic - not against it ( I learned now)

As an old user of logic, since way back I had BIG problems, when starting on 8.x.x
First I wanted everything to look N feel like before.
Tried all kind of tricks amoung other, to get rit of the transport bar ( former open trash, now 8.0.1 gone trick)
Even tried to import 7.x.x project and made them templates ( wanted two windows horizontly)( arrange+mixer/piano roll)
Now after a few days, I suddently found out..
Instead of "working against" logic, its much easier to "work with" logic.
And after accepting this, everything goes a lot faster..
especially the piano roll ( or other windows) open short cut, depending on what region you have highlightet, speed things up..
sorry for being so "old fashioned" and "stubburn", before I found out how to work "the way" apple/logic team want me to..
Their ideas is actually quite smart..
Still would like to work with more windows, get rit of transportbar, global track, the entire BIN
And instead get som more space
btw It would be nice to be able to be able to zoom in eg the EXS sampler..
All I need it for, is to load samples..
a short cut to "mini view" ( just the name of the samples loaded) would be greatly appriciated..

Running fine here, no crashes, plenty of horsepower to burn using lots of tracks, plugs, and 128 samples buffer size. Couple of the commonly reported minor bugs here and there. I like 8 much better than 7; breezier and simpler in many ways. I would agree that it required a mental adjustment initially. If your system is running as poorly as you say, your problem is not about Logic working "with" or "against," and you haven't yet experienced L8's intended functionality or design.
Rather than assume Logic is useless, you might check to see if your experience is common and therefore indicative of the software. For example, you ask why you should have to "go up to 1024 SPB, or whatever, to avoid this appalling behaviour" and the short answer is you shouldn't and most of us don't. Maybe there's a hardware or software conflict somewhere, or some components in the wrong folders, or maybe a problem with ram or a drive - these can be insidious.

How can I get an old Casio CTK-593 to work with Logic Express?

Title pretty much says it all.
I have a Fast Track USB from M-Audio to connect it to my pc but I don't know how to get it working with Logic.
Thanks in advance.

Did you check your connection with the audio-midi-setup.app in the programs/utilities folder of your MAC (not "pc" pls)?
If you have a working MIDI connection, you'll need to open up a software instrument track within Logic to play Logic's instruments via your keyboard.

Cant get motif XF8 to work with logic 9

I cannot get my motif XF8 to work with Logic 9, nor is it working with any other DAW. I have used the motif since last summer and it has always been hit or miss with MIDI. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. The cord is connected appropriately. I am mystified, and embarrassed to admit that I really don't get MIDI at all. I have a Macbook pro that is a year old or so. Please help.

Uh . . . . . I had to adjust Motif as in Utility/Control then set the MIDI In/Out to USB. I felt very silly when I found this out.

Behringer UCA200 not working with Logic

I recently received a Behringer 1222FX mixing board for christmas. It came with a UCA200 which is a little RCA-USB product. I want to use this board with Logic 9 but i can't seem to get it to work. I added a track and selected Input 1 but when i hit record the only sound that was recorded was from the internal computer speakers.
I have already tried the board with Garageband and it worked fine. I was wondering if anyone would steer me in the right direction and help me get this to work with Logic.
Please note that this question maybe simple to answer as I am new to Logic.
Thank You

Chance has it I just tested the UCA-200, and its' quality is very clearly inferior to my ancient Macs' built in 16 bits audio. So don't use it, use the Macs' own built in audio instead. Chances are that the BIA of your Mac is 24 bits (which Mac do you have?), whereas the UCA200 is only 16 bits. That thing is only an improvement if you have an old PC with 8-bits audio. Sorry Uli (Behringer).
regards, Erik.

Will the Tascam FW-1884 work with Logic Pro X?

Hello,
I notice that the new Logic is 64 bit only and yet the Tascam FW-1884 is specifically listed as a supported control surface.
Tascam has not released 64 bit drivers for this device! Can anyone shed any light on this? Will it work only as a control surface and not an audio interface? Is the documentation in error? Anyone have this working with Logic Pro X?
Thanks,
Lyford Rome

How does lion work with logic 9.1.4?

how does lion work with logic 9.1.4?

Greetings,
So far, everything seems as stable as before. Which doesn't actually mean its rock solid, but otherwise workable. I'm running a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24DSP with beta audio drivers. So far, everything is running well. I decided to jump into the 64bit work environment with Logic. I have yet to encounter huge problems with the 32bit audio bridge. Just making sure I bounce everything that is 32bit.
As for everything else within Logic, I can't say I hate Lion. Matter of fact, Lion seems buggier than Logic at the moment. Logic handles well in Lion, but Lion on its own overall is a different can of worms. I am mixed about a 10.7.1 update. Usually, it fixes something on the OS, but breaks something else in Logic.
I have faith that Lion will turn out to be as solid as Snow Leopard. SL was my favorite OSX so far. Lion still leaves allot to be desired in terms of stability.
Again, answer to your question: for me, Logic and Lion play nice.............for now.

Wha wha pedal work well with GarageBand but don't want to work with logic pro 9.1.8 on my MBPro end 2011

Install on MacBook Pro end of 2011 with logic Pro 9.1.8 and Apogee GIO interface guitar
The wha wha pedal work well with GarageBand but not working with Logic Pro
Only the red light turning on and off at the screnn of the MBPro and on my Apogee GIO (Guitar Interface Midi) switch button but the effect wha wha won't work.
HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY ENGLISH

Pancenter...
Yes... but I have come across some setups that came with a native SL (and even one Lion!) installation.. that somehow had a corrupted or older Prokit installed for some unknown reason... and given it's a quick fix to try.. I thought I'd mention it..
I frankly don't think it is entirely a Prokit issue itself, but it wouldn't do any harm to try and install v7 just in case it is part of the problem...
+1 on the UAD stuff....
Also, at the time it crashed... according to the logs...the OP was running Ableton Live at the same time, presumably rewired with Logic... so add all that together with UAD plugins... and that's quite a load on the system...
Finally in thread 32 there is a weird exception msg relating to the Trash2 plugin.. that I haven't seen before...
Thread 32:
0   libSystem.B.dylib
0x94c29afa mach_msg_trap + 10

That might be nothing... but as i said, I haven't seen that one before and given what else is going on.. it might be involved too... or nothing to do with that at all!

Is there any Sound card 5.1 include stereo mix that working with MacBook Air such as Creative Labs SoundBlaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro Entertainment System ? and if there any another sound card can you tell me what is it please ? Thank you.

Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

Melodyne 2.6 not working with Logic 7.1.1

Hi,
those of you who are using Melodyne with Logic and Tiger, does it
work with the Bridge mode ?
I've been trying it now with several different takes and all I get
out of it is sort of a hummingbird like a whistle
or pigs been strangled..take your pick..is it just me ??
It's the 2.6.0.6 Bridge version with Logic 7.1.1 and Tiger 10.4.2.
Thanks

Wll first answering my own question I may have found out the culprit.
After launching my mLan auto connector and looking at MIDI/Audio set up I found that even Logic was working allright with my 01X though it still insisted I was using Internal audio instead of mLan. After changing that, the first and so far only test, I was able to use Melodyne OK.
Otherwise I repeat what others already said here that although Logic lists Melodyne 2.6.0.6 as incompatible it will work.
I guess now that v3 is due out in about a month we'll never see the 2.6. updated to fully work with Logic 7.
