Connecting PODxt to Logic Studio 8

I am having problems trying to connect my PODxt, with the latest firmware, via USB to Logic Pro 8. I read how to set it up as an aggragate device, which I did, but the sound is terrible. I know it isn't the PODxt because I can connect it to Reaper 3 via USB on my Mac and it sounds fine in that program. Are there any known issues or tips on how to do this successfully?

+I'm currently right in the middle of making an album in Logic Pro 7 and can't afford to lose anything. Is there anything I should be aware of?+
Yes, me too. But after a week of testing L8, I've taken the plunge as I already like it better, although I had planned to complete all existing projects in LP7 first.
1) Make extensive backups of everything, including all project assets, IRs, samples etc. which should all be in your existing project folders, before you install L8.
2) Open copies of your projects and save them immediately in L8. As you probably know, installing L8 leaves LP7 untouched, so you can always go back if disaster strikes. I did some reconfiguring of stuff (not that you have to) such as changing old bus objects to auxes etc. just to make it more L8-like, reworking screensets etc.
+I'm running Pro at full power with some songs and it still struggles at times. I'm using a Power Mac G5 dual 1.8ghz for the record....Just worried about how well Studio 8 will run on my machine compared to Pro 7? Will Studio 8 require a lot more CPU usage?+
Actually, I've found that in general projects run more smoothly. I've had some weighty projects that were puffing a bit in LP7 which run much better in L8. Other threads in this forum contradict this, so either I'm lucky or because I keep my production machine very clean I didn't get any problems.
Good luck.

Ti Polar MIDI connection to Logic Studio 8 (Really in Need of Help)

Hello virus and Logic Pro Users. I'm in need of desperate help and would appreciate anyones guidance with the issue I have. I have managed to connect my Ti Polar to Logic Studio 8. However, I have came across the issue of MIDI Channels.
So here is the problem:
For simplicity lets assume I have two tracks. Track 1 is piano, track 2 is strings. I set track 1 to MIDI channel 1 and track 2 to MIDI channel 2 on logic studio. Remember that all sounds are coming from the external device which is my Ti Polar. So, I record my piano track and I'm ready to move on to the second track. *NOW, when I click on the second track and change the keyboard's sound to strings, my first track (piano) changes to strings as well :(*
*What should I do to freeze or lock track one with the sound I assigned to it?*
Furthermore, *I want Logic studio 8 to be set in a way that when I click track 1, my virus Ti jump to the sound that I had set up (e.g. Piano) and when I click on track 2 the Ti automatically goes to the assigned sound (in this case strings).*
Plizzzzzz help me here. I've been trying to read the user manual for Logic and has helped me to some extent but I can't figure this one out.

Thanks for the help. I tried to figure out as much as possible and I think I did exactly what you said... went to environment and created a complete Ti 16 MIDI CHANNEL (16 small squares in a big square shaped thing.
Bust still... when I record track 1 and move on to track 2 - channel 2 to record (which on my access Ti keyboard I manually change its midi channel from 1 to 2 by going to Config section), when I play back, only midi channel 2 or basically the track that I just recorded (track 2) plays back. Track 1 stays silent. Also when I change the tracks (e.g selecting track 1), I don't see any changes on my keyboards screen. If it functions well, I believe, every time I change the track, the sound of the keyboard has to change to the specific sound I have assigned to. Please clarify this for me its so confusing and frustrating.... Thank you.

Logic Studio won't connect with M-Audio O2 USB keyboard

Recently had to reinstall Logic Studio 8 on my G5 Quad following a drive failure. Now, Logic no longer uses my M-Audio O2 USB as a MIDI in or out like it did before. The O2 works fine on my MacBook in Garageband. The G5 Quad sees the O2 plugged in according to System Profiler. Plus, whenever I plug/unplug the O2, I can see that Logic resets the MIDI drivers. What gives? And where do I go in OSX or Logic to manage this?

Hmm, if you've bought it fair 'n square Apple are always willing to replace a faulty disk, as far as I've heard. Ninety days or two years, doesn't matter. I don't know if that is 'official' policy though - maybe it depends on who you get to speak to... However, the 'genius' that installed your stuff cannot have used a corrupted disk... so either he used his own disks, OR the disk is not corrupted to begin with. But what you describe sure sounds like it...
So, bottom line, call Apple again, and ask for a replacement disk.
Hope it works,
regards, Erik.

Installing Logic Studio on an iBook g3?

I recently purchased an apple i book g3 on ebay, which i plan to use specifically for creating beats and music.. and i also recently came across Apple Logic Studio 8, did some research on it, and it seems like it's just what i need.
My question is, is it a bad idea to attempt to install Logic Studio on the g3? the minimum requirements for Logic appear to be just a bit more than what my laptop has for me to work with... The iBook i purchased has 900 mhz, 40gb, mac os x 10.4 tiger, those are mainly the only specs i am worried about..
Just by looking at the numbers i would assume it may not work, but then again i read a few posts from people on other message boards, using basically the same laptop, and installing logic express without any issues.
Either way ive already paid for the laptop so i am stuck using that for a while, but i REALLY want to get my hands on Logic Studio and work with that as well.. suggestions?

+logic 7 System Requirements:+
(pro- and express have the same sys reqs - ES)
+* Macintosh computer with *PowerPC G4* or faster processor (G5 or dual G4 processors recommended)+
+* Mac OS X v10.3 or later+
+* 512 MB of RAM+
+* 4 GB of available hard-drive space+
+* PowerPC G5 and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for Logic Node applications+
+* DVD drive for software installation+
+* Available USB port for XSKey (copy protection)+
+* Low-latency multi-I/O audio hardware and MIDI interface recommended+
I think you should try to get an earlier Garageband (2.0.2, part of iLife '05):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306338
Or Logic 6:
Minimum:
+Mac OS X 10.2/Mac OS 9.1 or higher+
+604/250 MHz processor+
+128 MB RAM+
+CD-ROM or DVD drive+
+free USB port for XSKey+
Recommended:
+CPU with Velocity Engine support (G4/MP)+
+256 MB RAM or more+
+Low-latency audio hardware for software instruments+
+Multiple I/O audio hardware for Surround+
+Separate fast hard drive for audio data+
+MIDI interface, MIDI keyboard+

Im new, and trying to set up the keyboard to logic studio.

i have read some parts of the manual, and its HUGE and it doesnt tell my how to set it up.
i have a yamaha DGX-630-YPG-635 (if thats any help)
and logic studio.
i know this is vague.
what cables do i need, what software do i need, what pages in the manual do i need.

An interface is a basically a box with audio and midi inputs and outputs that connects to your computer via usb or firewire. It allows you to connect things like guitars, keyboards etc.
But your keyboard has a usb connection on it, so you won't need an interface. You will just need a usb cable for connection, and then you will need to install the drivers for your keyboard. The keyboard should have come with a disk containing the drivers, or you should be able to download them from the Yamaha website.

How to use the Optical in on 002r with Logic Studio?

Hi there
i'm trying to figure out a problem that i really can't find a solution,i'm using Logic studio 8 whith Digi 002rack and 7.4 core audio version,my question is how to select in logic the optical IN of the 002r that in my case is connected to my triton rack synth?
i can use the spdif in of the 002 but i can't find a way to use the optical in.
thanks all

I dont know if you will be able to connect other device like PS3 or Wii.
As far as I know only the Xbox 360 could be connected to a Qosmio and could be used with the Windows MCE.
I presume this is possible due to connection of Microsoft products; MCE and Xbox360
To be honest; why you dont take a look into the user manual if this notebook is new to you?
All details are mentioned in the user manual which is already preinstalled on the notebook.

Problem updating Logic Studio

Hey there all,
I have been having a problem updating Logic Studio 9. My purchased version is 9.0 (full, not upgrade) and I tried to update to 9.1 a while ago. When I did it, I got this very strange error message that said there was a system error of some sort. This of course sent me in to a panic, however my system itself seems to be stable, so I can only assume this is a problem with the updated software.
Eventually, I deleted the updated software (which left 9.0 on my system), and since then (this was a WHILE ago), I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what to do to be able to update the software. I can't tell you how many times I have uninstalled, reinstalled, and re-uninstalled the original disks. I just can't get the software updater to recognize that I uninstalled 9.1 so that I can re-download the software update. And for god know what reason, I am not able to connect to the downloads server to get the upgrade.
Can anyone tell me where/how/if I can fix this?? Logic 9.0 keeps crapping out on me. I'd like to have access to my songs, etc.

hi, Colpanique.
A couple of ideas. Is your OS up to date? Are you running SL? It's better for LP9 than Leopard. Is LP9 registered?
Software updates sometimes have a proapp u/date. This is for Logic/final cut etc. If they aren't on your system, the later LP u/date might not install.
Another reason why LP 9 caps out is ram. I have LP8, and I know 9 requires more ram. 1G is at the low end, and might be insufficient for the OS and LP9. Run out of ram and the app will crash. This true if you load samples or drums etc,
If LP 9 isn't registered, the apple server won't let you get 9.1. I tried, as I wanted to go from 8 to 9 and bypass the bugs in LP 9.0. 9.1 is more stable.
Anyway, hope thsi is of some help. Good Luck. Scorpii Pirates.

Guitar Rig/ Rig Kontrol problems in Logic Studio

I have recently upgraded from Logic Pro 7 to Logic Studio. I never had any problems until the upgrade but now my Rig Kontrol 2 refuses to work claiming...
"The device 'RigKontrol2' could not be set up by the driver. This can be caused by bad USB connections or insufficient power on the bus."
I am using a USB direct from the back of the mac (and tried new leads) and have updated the drivers to the very latest version but nothing is working. I can still see Guitar Rig as an option amongst my inserts but as soon as I plug in the RigKontrol then ALL of my inserts blank out and no sound is output at all.
Any ideas anyone?
Many thanks Nick.

My only idea (and this comes from being an owner of Guitar Rig 2 w/ the Rig Kontrol for ALMOST two years now) is that the Rig Kontrol is a faulty piece of equipment. . . period. I regret purchasing it more than any purchase I've probably ever made. It was so faulty w/ Logic 7 and Pro Tools that I was like, screw this, and put it away in a closet and have never touched it since. The GT2 software is FANTASTIC. . . don't get my wrong, I love my Guitar Rig software, but the Rig Kontrol is a piece. NI's support for it is pretty poor too. It's probably just some kind of issue between Logic 8 and Rig Kontrol, however, try going into Audio/MIDI setup and getting it to recognize through there.
My advice would be to just ditch the Rig Kontrol.

Help!!! The best audio interface for Logic Studio

Hey y'all,
I'm looking for an audio interface. Requirements are: microphone- (XLR), instrument- (1/4") and midi-connectors. I'd like to record everything 1 by 1 all by myself, without audio playback/slowing-down issues. I'm quite new with recording and have no idea which one suits my system and software the best. I want to record as easy as possible and with the most beautiful results available. Price range of up to €500.
My MacBook Pro:
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Geheugen 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
My software: Logic Studio
Thanks!

If Midi connectivity is important: Focusrite Saffire 6 (USB). Check out the User Guide:
http://www.focusrite.com/downloads/saffire_6_usb/
Otherwise, I would strongly recommend Mackie's Onyx Blackjack, especially when also out gigging. Check out the product page and you can also download an Owner's Manual:
http://www.mackie.com/products/onyxblackjack/
I use the Mackie . User Guides/Manuals are a great way of checking out detail about a product when deciding what to buy.
I thought that Sennheiser were well known for headphones, not microphones.

Different Audio Outputs Logic Studio 8

Hello. I was wondering if apple was able to do this, because that would save a lot of plugging and unplugging of cables and such. Is it possible to select different audio outputs for different programs that you are using on the imac? I run logic studio 8 with a m-audio firewire 410 external soundcard with a couple of monitor speakers. I also have a set of z-5500 connected to my imac via the digital output cable. Is there a way where when i use logic studio 8, the firewire soundcard is used. and for all other purposes, such as watching a movie or listening to music, the digital output is used? Is there a program that can control this? if this is possible. it would help me out A LOT! THANKS

Hello ecstasurf
That's a great question?
Go to: "Applications / Utilities" and open "Audio MIDI Setup" from there you maybe able to switch between the FireWire and the Digital/Analog outputs. I can't give you much more help with that, I don't have an audio FireWire setup so you'll have to play around with the Audio Output Source there.
Note: If you like, you can drag a copy of the Audio MIDI Setup to your dock for quick and easy access.

Novation 47SL MKII and Logic Studio

I use a Novation 47MKII midi controller and I keep getting this error when going into Logic Studio 9 after working in Live 8. Any ideas why this would happen?
“Device “HUI” is assigned to MIDI Port “Automap HUI” which is not present.
Please ensure that all MIDI interfaces are connected and switched on. If this is the case, please check the MIDI port setting of device “HUI”. If this is correct, click “Reset All MIDI Drivers” in Preferences > MIDI > General."

I have the same issue with my ReMOTE ZeRO SL and have not been able to figure out how to have it keep the configuration. The setup guide works fine, but it doesn't maintain the MIDI configuration and I need to re-enter the environment settings each time I setup the system.

Final Cut and Logic Studio

I have a MacBook with:
Processor-2.1 GHz Intel Core Duo
Memory-1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Question: A) Can I run Final Cut Studio 2 and/or Logic Studio
B) If not, will a timecapsule or mimi mac give me the power needed?

First of all, you'd need to install more RAM to run either program. Both programs require a MINIMUM of 1gb of RAM, so if you run either program, there'd be no RAM available for the OS or any background processes. So yes, it would slow your computer down to a crawl ... if not a crash.
There is no way to connect any Firewire device to the new MacBooks. So no FW control surfaces for Logic Studio and no way to connect a tape based camcorder or FW hard drive for external storage.
Motion and Color probably wouldn't even install due to the weak graphics card and shared RAM.
Also, keep in mind that Apple officially doesn't support FCS on the MacBook at all. Essentially, the MacBook is not designed for editing. But hey ... it's your money.

No Signal from Lexicon Omega to Logic Studio

I'm not getting a signal in Logic Studio from my Lexicon Omega. I'm getting output from Logic to the Omega but not input from the Omega to Logic. I went to Preferences/Audio and change the inputs to the Omega but still the meters in Logic don't respond to my speaking into a mic. The meters on the Omega light up and sound comes out my monitors but no signal to Logic. Any help?

JG99 wrote:
Have you record enabled an audio track in Logic and set the input to the same as the input from the Lexicon?
What do you have connected to the input of the Lexicon?
JG
If by record enabled the track you mean "clicked the little "R" and made it red", yes I did. The track in Logic says "Input 1" above it and I'm pretty sure that's the Lexicon's input.
I have my mic going into the preamp going into the Omega going to my Mac.
Please bare with me...I'm a Logic n00b! Thanx!
