Connecting logic pro to DJ mixer

I need help connecting logic pro to a DJ mixer<pioneer DJM 8000> and import audio sound
Which cable do I need to use, and how to connect ?
Many thanks

You have your MIDI hooked up. Do you have any audio from the MPC going into Logic? MIDI carries NO audio, only playback instructions.

  • Connect Logic Pro and Cubase on PC?

    Hi Guys
    I want to connect my Macbook PRo using Logic 8 as the Seq to use the patch/sound/library/samlples/VSTi from my Cubase 3 on another PC, any way to do this? Thanks!

    Apologies for the hijacking, but does anybody know if a similar thing is possible if instead of the program running on a separate PC it is a virtual one running on the mac (i.e. using parallels or fusion)?

  • Logic pro mix of avid omf files

    i am researching if i can do a logic pro (or soundtrack) mix based on avid omf files, then re-import the mix files back into avid...
    would using aiff files make this any easier?
    thanks

    Hi,
    I did this last year and Logic Pro can import OMF files, but as mentioned this can be hit or miss... OMF is notoriously difficult to deal with between certain platforms and versions. I found that FCP's OMF outputs always opened in Logic without problems but it was hit or miss with AVID's - strange since it's their format!!
    I would do a test to see if you have any import problems if you go with this workflow.
    I will say that Logic (in it's current version) is not a good program for doing audio post - it's just not in the same league as Pro Tools in terms of simplicity and workflow. I spent a whole year trying to wean myself off of Pro Tools for audio post work, but all I learned from that experience was how much I wanted to back in PT. I really like Logic for music composition - it's better IMHO than PT for this type of work, but is suck for post. You may want to consider a DV toolkit version of PT for this kind of work (DV toolkit has the timecode ruler and OMF tools you will need). It's expensive, but IMHO a much better tool for the job.
    As for audio format - use .WAV as it will work with either Mac or PC based AVID systems (PC based AVIDs don't know what an AIFF is). This avoids having to do a separate audio layback and it works like a charm - I never had any sync issues. Hope this helps.

  • How do I setup an Allen & Heath QU-16 on Logic Pro X?

         Hello,
    I have a Allen & Heath QU-16 with all current firmware, I have read that this mixer does not need any drivers, but I downloaded a driver from Allen & Heath's website. It successfully connects to the Macbook Pro that I am using and it is detected in Logic Pro X. The mixer is connected to microphones picking up a drum kit, and the audio reaches the QU-16 and plays out monitors just fine. The problem is that the audio doesn't register in Logic. I have tried using different inputs, turning on input monitoring, and I have the input and output set to the QU-16 in the preferences.
    Any help would be appreciated, and I would be more than happy to elaborate on what I have tried already.

    Right Click > Delete... Doesnt Work
    Please Help

    LPX resides after instal in the Application folder and should also be available in the Dock. If this is not the case then something has gone wrong during the download, you'll have to try again or contact Apple if the problem persists!

    Unfortunately begins not to be the difference between Microsoft and Apple :(, it shows increasingly more with time passing. I was spoiled when several mixes with Logic pro x 10.1 simply blocks and disappears when restart in "autosave" things are not in place especially things related to the mix, some instruments (tracks) have modified parameters !!. Shame apple !! I worked very much to create some mixes and logic pro x 10.1 has ruined me! I try to think seriously about better alternatives. I could use logic pro 9 for mixing, but it goes wrong on Yosemite !!. (and I see it does not matter to Apple) Apple no matter how cool you are, but I hope you do not go down along with the great man Steve Jobs

  • Logic Pro 9 not seeing Avid Artist Mix

    Hi Guys,
    I've never posted in a forum before but I'm having some major trouble with getting my Avid Artist Mix Controller and Logic Pro 9 to communicate with each other.  I've tried all sorts of things, set up a static IP address for the mix and computer, trying different start up combinations, uninstalling and re-installing Eucontrol and nothing seems to be working, this controller just sits on my desk displaying nothing and doing absolutely nothing.  Here's what I've found so far in regards to it's behavior:
    The Artist Mix IS connected to my computer, everything in my Network Preferences is green and when I open Eucontrol it's listed under My Surfaces as MC Mix. My computer is listed under work stations.  Upon device start up the Artist Mix displays the Avid logo, however when Eucontrol starts up and connects the display on the Artist Mix goes dark.  Upon opening Logic I see "Starting up Eucon Support" on the splash screen but then once it's open the Artist Mix DOES NOT do anything.  When searching for the Euphonix or Avid devices in Logic's "Control Surfaces" Preference window I see a list of multiple different control surfaces (i.e. Mackie, Yamaha, etc) but no Euphonix or Avid devices.  Also, I can open Eucontrol settings just fine before starting up Logic, however post Logic start up results in Eucontrol freezing and requiring a Force Quit, even after I've quit Logic.  If anyone has any light to shine on this subject it would be infinitely appreciated.  I've spent the past three days scouring the interenet for answers with zero success, Trying to get a hold of Avid Support which seems impossible (and expensive), and trying a bunch of "hunch" or "mildly informed" remedies of my own and nothing seems to be working.  So far, I just have an incredibly expensive paperweight.
    Here are my specs:
    Computer:
    Late 2011 Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 GHZ Intel Core I5
    8 GB RAM
    Running OSX 10.9.2
    Eucontrol:
    Eucontrol Version 3.1.0
    Artist Mix:
    Firmware up to date 1.5.2
    Logic Pro:
    Logic Pro Version 9.1.8

    This solution posted above, seems to work very well... if you follow them exactly as stated.
    I use artist mix in Logic Pro X and works fine, BUT I did have some initial problems. Firstly use latest eucon software. Then turn app nap off on the eucon application icon, after that, I switch mc mix on first, then mac, let it do it's stuff, then run eucon ( not auto load eucon). When eucon recognises mc mix, then load Logic Pro x.

  • Playing DVDs in 5.1 With Firewire Audio Interface Connected for Logic Pro

    This is exactly the same q as asked by plantwebguy in July 06, link
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2696970#2696970...
    I'm struggling to get an answer on this anywhere... I have Logic Pro running 5.1 Surround Mixes on a g5, using a Metric Halo Mobile IO Firewire audio interface - its 6 analog outs are connected to a M Audio LX4 powered surround system. It all works great - until... the problem is when I need to listen to DVDs with 5.1 soundtracks (for reference), or even HD trailers (with 5.1 soundtracks). With the Mobile IO selected as audio interface, DVDs only play in stereo. I think this is because the 5.1 soundtrack is only output thru the optical out - but connecting the optical out to the Mobile IO and selecting 'Digital out' on the g5 brings silence.. Im told this is because the MIO's optical in wont decode 5.1. I'm interested to hear from anyone with a Pro Audio interface - like a MOTU etc - who needs to switch between mixing their own music in 5.1 and then listening to DVDs in 5.1.. I cant be the first, surely?
    Plantwebguy said he solved his issue with VLC. Do we know if VLC willl decode 5.1 and then output it to the Interface via Firewire? I've searched the net for a Pro Audio interface with (1) 6 analog outs & mic inputs etc (2) firewire connection and (3) optical in that reads AC3/5.1 etc (rather than just ADAT).... nada. Sorry to be long-winded but I cant get a solution anywhere..

  • Euphonix MC Mix with Logic Pro 7 (not 8)

    Has anyone picked up this:
    http://www.euphonix.com/artist/products/mc_mix/
    And had it connected up to Logic Pro 7? (not Logic Pro 8, I upgraded but stayed with 7)
    The Euphonix can use the HUI protocol, so it should function, and I'm very close to buying this - I was just wondering how the user experience felt (especially with regard Inserts etc). Good or bad purchase? I cannot demo the unit; no importer in Hong Kong.
    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Sup All,
    I tried one of the MC Mix units that my friend picked up although we couldn't successfully used both units at the same time due to a Ethernet jack issue that i determined later by connecting one unit at a time.
    Setup and Config were a breeze. I used it intensively in Logic Pro. I like all the functions for it works almost as if it were a Mackie Controller. But, one thing that could make it a deal breaker for now is that it is very sluggish in response waiting for logic to send the proper Data to the unit or vice-versa.
    Even when the MC Mix was not plug to my system everything was still slow; so it is safe to assume it's a Eucon Software issue. Once I did uninstall Logic worked flawless.
    With that unit you can do literally anything a Mix Controller does. So, optimistic thoughts say they, meaning Euphonix will workout the issues within weeks.( Unofficially )
    PROs
    Mixer felt great.
    Look Great.
    Can be used while you are connected to the internet.
    Usage is excellent
    Easy IP Config. Dynamic or static.
    Instantiating Inserts, Software Instruments is excellent
    Everything as the demo shows. http://www.euphonix.com/artist/products/mc_mix/video.php
    The Riser is cool
    A New Software installer replaces the Cd that comes with the units
    CONS
    Sluggish
    The OLED Displays don't show Values until you touch the knobs or faders.
    WISHES
    Meter Bridge or Better Meters
    Counter or Measure Displays
    And lastly... Don't know if it's Gigabit or Megabit Ethernet Connection.
    I connected it directly to my Computer as well as through two Ethernet Hub; Same Results every time.

  • Yamaha MO8 and Korg Volcas with Logic Pro X- recommendations for mixer and audio interface

    I plan to use Logic Pro X to access and configure the patch list for my Yamaha MO8 workstation. The Steinberg software I downloaded previously didn't work and never allowed me to configure the sounds. From what I've heard, I was told to use a cheap mixer or a Audio/MIDI interface (like the Scarlett 2i2 or 4i4). The Yamaha MO8 will be used as a master and has MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU. I also have the Korg Volca synths to use as slaves (they only have the MIDI IN port), and plan to connect them to the MIDI THRU on the keyboard. I already have the Yamaha USB driver installed, and the Mac recognizes the device. I also have the Portmidi app and wonder if that will allow me to see the patch list (with the actual names, not numbers).
    What mixer and audio/MIDI interface do you recommend to use the Yamaha MO8 and the Korg Volcas? Just to be clear, I don't want to use software synths, but would like to use the external instruments to get the audio (which I know can be selected through the Environment Panel on Logic Pro X).

    Anything with 2 audio inputs and 2 MIDI outs.
    -Out HP jack of Volca-1/8 to 1/4 adapter into Audio interface 1 (For any that are stereo use both 1 and 2 and use a Y splitter in addition to 1/8 to 1/4 adapters.
    -Midi out from interface to Midi in of volca (Or buy a USB to MIDI interface for about $35)
    -When starting up the volcas hold down the "Memory button" the LED will tell you what MIDI channel it is set to, you can change it if you wish)
    -Create external MIDI track and set it to the same channel as the Volca (Only if you want to do sequencing in the DAW, if thee Volca sequencer is handling it then not necessary)
    -Patch together the Volcas via the "synch out/Synch in" jacks to insure they are synched
    -Record them all together or one at a time, depending on how many simultaneous tracks your interface can handle.

  • Logic Pro 7 Mix Bus -- Mixing in Logic Pro 7.0 -- Something is wrong

    Ok, Maybe its just me, or my crappy audio interface, or both. anyways, heres my issue.
    Heres the scenario,
    I have approx 30 tracks, a handful of exs's, eq's on most channels, everything is fine, the track is sounding great and i cant complain. I have done many mixes with a modest amount of tracks 30-60 tracks and they sound great.....
    however,
    I am working on this one song that is pushing close to 100 tracks. the mac is holding up nicely, however.... there are parts in the song where i have many elements playing simultaneously. The recordings sound good when solo'd. nice level, minimal eq, very light compression if needed.
    when i let all the tracks play together, my mix sounds like crap.....it sounds so smashed, colorless, lifeless, kinda dead sounding. as if it had no depth.
    I have never had this problem before. I have mixed lots of music in logic pro 7.
    I feel as if all the calculated numbers in the mix bus are not adding up correctly.
    MY AUDIO INTERFACE...
    Digi Mbox2
    yes i know, IMHO its a POS
    I am forced to have it because there are still some PT sessions that i need access to,
    I want an Apogee Ensemble
    anyways
    has anyone ever had a mixbus issue?
    am i gonna have to take this project to an PTHD room?
    or perhaps a good analog mixroom?
    there have been quite a few mixes that i have done on this system that went straight to the mastering lab and then published...
    this track is kickin me in my a$$
    Thanks

    jord, hi, yes i used to use them heaps, but the arrangements and track count were smaller as well.
    unfortunately, when you have to sub grp many more sections for an orchestra as well i noticed a degradation in sound from them to the summing buss.
    i checked all the ADC settings and so on.
    so i reverted to trk > stereo sum.
    i use groups to control sub levels.
    i sort of liken this to the similar use on an analog console.
    when trkg, we'd use the monitor mixer and the main chnl strps would be used for mix down.
    to me, it was quite noticable that the quality changed/dropped when the main chnl strps were used. one or two were ok, but 40 became too colored.
    the monitor mixer was less complex with less circuitry. cleaner.
    this is where i stopped using eq a lot, mid 70s, and now i focus on well recorded sounds first.
    anyway, i sure this wouldn't worry most people.

  • Do you have to add effects to Logic Pro X loops when mixing a song?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question that has been puzzling me and I cannot seem to find an answer for! I have searched high and low on the internet and still cannot find the answer and so I would be grateful to everyones help with this issue.
    My question is that you hear so much about the fact that when you are recording and mixing a track that different instruments for example the Bass Drum and the Bass guitar occupy similar frequencies and we are told that this is why you have to add effects to these instruments when mixing but what I want to know is are they talking about just organic instruments like real drums and a real bass guitar that you manually play and record to Logic Pro X`s audio tracks? Or should you treat the Loops exactly the same? And should you also add effects to the Logic Pro X loops when you are mixing those specific tracks?
    For example if I add a Drum Loop or Bass Loop to a project and then start mixing the song should I add any effects for example EQ, Compression to these Loops? And what would be the best effects to add to the Bass and the Drums when mixing to help them stand out in the mix?
    Many thanks.

    Whoever told you that overly generalized rule, please stop listening to that person .
    The way you post your question (and they are good questions) points out a big problem nowadays. There is so much cookie cutter solutions out there like if you have this, then use that, if you want to get this sound, press that button. The problem with that is that you you often have no idea why you are doing that in the first place.
    Let me give you a simple example about gardening (sorry about that). If I grow tomatoes and look up on the internet how often to water them, I can find an answer "water the tomatoes once a week". I might do that and result is that the tomatoes will die. What I didn't take into account is that the advice was given from someone growing tomatoes in Russia, and I live in California where I might need to water them once a day. So, the answer you are looking for is not "how often to water the tomato", instead you have to learn how much water, depending on your climate, the tomato needs"
    Your music is the tomato. So the question is not what button to press (how often to water), but what button needs to be pressed, depending on your specific recordings (your climate).
    If your bass drum and and bass guitar are more further apart frequency wise, then there might be no need to EQ them, it depends
    Nobody should or could tell you what to do, unless he or she sits next to you at the mix and "hears' what is going on and what needs to be done.
    Don't get me wrong, I don't say that there is a lot of great advice and general guidelines out there. The problem is when you apply that blindly without knowing a little bit why that advice is give and how to apply that, or if it applies to your situation at all.
    In addition: The skills and knowledge about the theory is as important as the skills and experience of listening and judging your recording/mix and decide what action to take.You have to learn what to listen to and what you hear. If you don't know how distortion sounds then you miss out on fixing that issue. If you don't know how a pumping compressor sounds, then you miss out on fixing that issue.
    I think you get the idea
    Hope that helps

  • Logic pro x basic download gets about 3/4 through, asks for password and then says it loses connection and asks to download again.

    Hi
    I have been having terrible trouble with logic pro x basic content download. I open up the app in which it says it's downloading the extra content. I think it must be the basic content however because it takes no time at all. It gets 3/4's through and says installing. It then asks for my password and once entered says it needs an internet connection to download and to please try again.
    I have literally tried everything from making sure my preferences are correct, using an Ethernet, cable.I have used almost every post regarding this on here and still can't even get the basic 2g package to install. If I could get that I believe I could load the extra content manually. I can't even get the basic package to work to do this however.
    Has anybody had the problem with the basic download??? If anyone has a solution to this pleeeeaaaseee reply because this is driving me crazy.
    Thanks in advance

  • 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.

  • Connecting the iPad to Logic Pro 9

    Hello!
    I woundered how to connect the iPad to Logic Pro 9, to record from it as an instrument (a bought app from Appstore)?
    Do I  need some device or something to do this or just connect it with the standard charging-cable?
    Thanks for the replys!

    Logic can import several kinds of files, that's why I specifically said:
    "Some apps can save a file in a format Logic can import"
    MIDI files, Wav or AIF files come to mind.
    Saving in a usable file format would prevent the original poster from having to purchase a MIDI interface or other hardware.
    "Smule Ocarina app" can record it's output,  iRealBook can export both MIDI and AIF audio files, Amplitude Guitar Amp can save AIF files...like I said, it depends on the app.
