Dangerous Music D-box with Logic Pro X

Hello; I am a D-box user and Love it! I have used it with PT11 and Studio One with no issues. Now I am trying to setup the routing for Logic Pro X and I'm having a heck of a time getting it to work properly. I get sound when in "analog & sum" mode but not in DAW mode. Yes, I have Print track set up, stems etc.. I have searched all over the internet and can't seem to find any help. I did watch Fab's video on YT with Logic 9 but still having issues. Is there someone here that uses a D-box with Logic Pro X that woudl be willing to give me a hand? I also use a U/A apollo interface. Thank you in advance! It would be so much appreciated.
my email is

I have had problems with this exact setup as well, LogicX - Apollo - DBox. All was working fine until a few weeks ago and then no more DAW S/PDIF. So after checking that the Apollo's S/PDIF was OK and checking cables with a volt meter, etc. I decided to send the DBox back for repair because all things pointed to a dead converter in the DBox.
It turns out they found nothing wrong with the DBox, no problems at all and it is being sent back to me. I will have it set up soon and will post again here my findings. Watch this space.

USB audio fault using vrm box with Logic pro X

Hello,
Having problems with audio output from both usb ports on my Macbook Pro - I have a VRM box connected to the usb port and sound is coming from the left side of my headphones only. Any help / advice with this much Appreciated.

I'm afraid you have quite a learning curve ahead of you.
MIDI is not audio, the MIDI tracks you record are not sound, they are little tiny bits of data that tells what key note was presses and how fast (velocity) you played it. The data you're recording will play any sound on any MIDI Instrument. To get the sound of the MOX8 -IN- Logic you would have to record the audio outputs of the MOX8 into Logic as an audio track.
As with most Workstations you can set up a "Performance" mode that has different instruments on separate MIDI channels, this is for use with the Internal MOX8 sequencer but can also be used by an external sequencer like Logic. For instance, you could have different instruments on MIDI Channels 1 thru 9 and a drum set on channel 10, In Logic you could have ten tracks set to the MIDI channels you want to play on the MOX8... however, the sound would not be in Logic, the sound comes from within the MOX8. To actually get the sound in Logic you have to record it as an audio track. There are other more advanced methods but that's enough to think about. You will need to the Yamaha MOX8 manual and figure out how to set up a performance mode.

Using Eventide Eclipse as outboard gear with Logic Pro 8/9

Hi, people,
Anyone using Eventide's Eclipse as outboard FX box with Logic Pro? I'm thinking of getting one and running it via digital I/O into my RME Fireface 800. Any info appreciated.
Thanks, Scorpii.

Yes it is possible, first connect your outboard to the soundcard.....then load the I/O (inserts) plug in on the track you want to process....you can find it in the utility menu....then set the routing of the signal in the I/O window....if you want to record the processed track create a new track with the right routing and the work is done.hope this replay help you . Regards

I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9. I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track. how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc???? Help

Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

Apple Pro Rez Codec with Logic Pro??

Has anyone used or seen the Apple Pro Rez codec (HD quicktime codec I believe?)? I will need to be working with this very soon, and while it's 23.98fps and I know Logic doesn't support that frame rate, I need to know if it can be used via a canpous FW box with Logic? Does it need to be exported? Etc?
Any thoughts or experiences anyone has would be greatly appreciated. thanks so much-
Josh

I presume you will be producing music for picture(?).
I have not used it myself but I know that any movie encoded with it will be very cpu intensive. The codec was developed for video editors, to enable (practical) high quality hi-def editing. Most folk believe a new high-end macpro is the only computer that is capable of using this codec successfully, but that is with regard to video editing.
A movie encoded this way would be definately unsuitable to use alongside logic. There would be just too much CPU power going to the movie playback, leaving very little for logic.
Your best bet is to re-encode the movie with a more efficient codec. You'll see picture quality reduce but this should not be a problem.
Personally I would never use a codec thats any more demanding than DV. And DV is pushing things on lesser computers.
I suggest you get quicktime pro if you haven't got it yet and export the movie with a different codec. I have used the codec Photo-JPEG with great success. It's gentle on CPU resources and provides proper full frames - important if you are doing frame accurate sync.
The other way you could do it is to run the original movie on a second syncronized computer
Your BIG problem is that logic itself will NOT work with 23.98fps properly. From what I recall, this means Logic's timecode will not match the movie's (as it can't be set to 23.98fps). There really is not a fix for this other than getting "production" to allow for it and (somehow) provide movies with an alternative frame rate. To be honest this is one (very good) reason to use a different DAW.
I wish you luck. This is the sort of thing that could prove a nightmare!

My "Open" and "Save" dialog boxes in Logic Pro...

Hi,
Wondering if you've have had this issue. My Open / Save as well as any Import dialog boxes in Logic Pro have oddly spaced columns. I resize them accordingly (I prefer Column view BTW), get them looking right by holding the "Option" key while resizing to have all columns the same width...you know, the same procedure you'd use in the finder.
Anyway, each time a dialog box appears my "Sidebar" column along the left-hand side is like 5 inches wide, and each column to the right of that is very narrow despite my setting it up the way I'd like it to look during the previous Open/Save/Import.
Is there a preference for this that I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any help.

P.S. I'm running Logic Pro 9.1.5 in 64bit mode (32bit mode also exhibits the same behavior). I'm running OSX Lion, 10.7.2

I posted a similar post regarding this observation. It appears that only you and I are the only ones getting this behavior from Logic and Lion. In all honesty, I don't think anybody cares or no one installed Lion for use with Logic yet. In either case, it has been widely ignored.
I too tried resizing, but get the same result every time. Its not just open and save windows, its the same with all windows. This gets especially annoying when ad ding samples to EXS24. Some people have different work arounds for adding samples to most things, such as the browser side window. Regardless of any workaround, nothing solves the remaining window space problem. This window bug is something that should not exist within Logic. It makes Logic look like freeware.
For many, Logic Pro X might be the ultimatum. It might be time to jump ship.

M-Audio 61ES not playing nicely with Logic Pro X!

The 61ES has been doing some really wacky things: I opened it up out of the box for the first time last night and right off the bat the middle octave of notes on the controller were very quiet compared to the high and low notes on the board. It was like the velocity wasn't working properly on those keys or something. The sounds worked fine in Logic when I pencilled them in. But I was too tired to mess around with it more, so went to bed and figured I'd deal with it in the morning. So this morning, the middle octave of keys seems fine, but the middle G just won't play at all. And many of the notes aren't tracking, or playing- especially during fast passages.
I pulled up Pro Tools 10 and the 61ES worked fine. So something is going on between the controller and Logic. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm running it on a MacBook Pro with 10.8.5. And the latest version of Logic Pro X- 10.0.6. Thanks for any advice!

Problem with Fader Banks and Channel in MCU PRO with Logic Pro X

I purchased a Mackie Control Universal Pro earlier this week, and I have talked with Mackie support techs twice and they have not been able to help me. My problem is that everything seems to work well with Logic X talking with the MCU with the exeption that the Fader Banks function will not move left to channels 1-8, they are stuck at channel 9-16, and will move to the right on to 17-24 and so on, but it doesnt move to 1-8 when the left fader bank motor is pressed. However when you toggle tany channel 1-8 levers on the computer screen, the corresponding lever on the Mackie goes up and down, but the reverse does not occur. The Mackie folks say this is a problem with Logic Pro X, not the MCU. Perhaps they are correct, because I still have Logic Express on my Mac and when I close Logic X and Open Logic Express the fader banks move perfectly from 1-8, 9-16, and so on as do the tracks. My computer is update with Mavericks.
I would appreciate any help! I am not a techie, an old guy who used to record on 4 track computers, and want to get away from a mouse control, but I'm going to take the Mackie MCU back if I cant get this straight, I've spent a lot of time on this. Help!

thank you Pete in Denver, I actually made some progress today, in setting up the control surface of the Logic Pro Control Surfaces Support Manual, around page sixteen gave me a partial answer. I had the Mackie icon first, then the Logic Control, and it said to drag and drop the preferred icon to the left or first place. that solved my not being able to access channels 1-8, I was able to press the fader bank left button and - voila!. so that saved my initial problem, but I still have some issues in moving faders and banks in existing projects, some tracks show up lit up in the tan colors others don't, but that is probably due to the way i would move tracks around once I received tracks on drop box from a friend and created new tracks, and I changed a lot of the order of the tracks. ANyway. I did make progress. Thanks!

Help with logic pro 8!!

Hi everyone, I just switched from garageband to logic pro 8 and cant seem to get any sound from my monitors. I'm using a lexicon alpha v interface and my monitors are m-audio av30's. I'm also using a m-audio oxygen49 midi keyboard. This setup worked great in garageband but I cant seem to get it to work in logic pro 8. Logic 8 does recognize the keyboard and I also changed the preferences to the lexicon alpha v but still no sound. I'm really new to this so please be gentle! Thanks

I got a good deal on ebay full retail brand new un-opened box with licences. I couldnt afford logic pro 9 so I went with logic pro 8. Plus I'm still learning, when I get better I'll upgrade to logic pro 9.

Control external MIDI synth with Logic Pro X

I purchaced Logic Pro X to use it as a MIDI-sequencer for my external stagepiano: the Roland RD-700sx including two expansion boards (SRX-04 and SRX-10). I want to make records to create my own music. Before I record it as audio I want to record it as MIDI, because in that form it's easier to make adjustments.
The RD-700sx is GM-compatible, though the better quality sounds are stored in certain banks, which one can select bij entering a specific number to the MIDI control assignments MSB and LSB. For example: to select the Superior Grand Piano, MSB = 87, LSB = 64 and PC (program change) = 1. To select the 60's E. Piano 2, MSB = 87, LSB = 65 and PC = 5. To select the first tone wheel organ MSB = 112, LSB = 0 and PC = 1. To select the SX Rock Kit (drums) MSB = 86, LSB = 72 and PC = 2. And to select the staccato cello on my expansion board MSB = 93, LSB = 3 and PC = 79.
I spent a lot of time searching and asking on the internet how to select the desired sounds, but I don't know how to do it. So far I know you have to create a multitimbral MIDI environment and on each of the 16 channels you can assign a bank and enter the values of MSB and LSB. I found this article: Logic Pro/Express 9: Defining Custom Bank Messages - Apple Support
I understand a part of it, though I have too little experience with Logic Pro X to get the job done. Can someone please explain it to me from the beginning to the end? You would help me a lot!!!

did you do a firmware update on 003 ?

Using Platinum Voicemaster Pro Vocal Channel Strip with Logic Pro & MBox 3

Hiya,
I was wondering if you can help me please.
I have a small little home studio that I am currently building (just to record vocals mainly to instrumentals as I am singer/songwriter).
I am currently using Logic Pro 9 and MBOX Mini 3 as my midi interface but my producer who is based overseas told me to get a preamp. Many musicians have suggested I purchase Platinum Voicemaster Pro Vocal Channel Strip. CAN ANY CONFIRM WHETHER THIS WILL WORK WITH LOGIC PRO 9 AND GIVE ANY ADVICE AS TO HOW IS THE BEST WAY TO USE IT WITH LOGIC PRO 9 AND MY MBOX MINI 3?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.

Thank you both for your input. I am back on the case again, this time with a fully functioning FCB1010. Right ou of the box the pedal does successfully send volume and pan with expression pedal a and b respectively.
What I would next like to accomplish is to have exp. ped. b now control a plug-in parameter instead, the pedal range on the fuzz-wah plug-in of Logic Pro 7 for expample.
When I use Automation Quick Access to edit the assignment of ped. b as Bryan suggested, Logic appears to be receiving the info from ped. b and creating the new assignment (as indicated in the Controller Assignments window), and yet the actual functionality doesn't change, that is, ped. b continues to control pan.
Any suggestions?
Best regards, Dan

Using the MPK Mini with Logic Pro

Hi, I got an MPK Mini with Logic Pro.
At first it was working fine but I left it for a couple of weeks but now when I plug it in, Logic doesn't recognise it anymore.
I've read this http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/controlsurfacessupport/index.html#cha pter=1%26section=1 but I still haven't been able to get it working.
Has anyone got any ideas?

Do you have Gear Box? If you do try launching Gear Box then see if it works.

Performance issues with Logic Pro 9

Hi,
I'm experiencing quite big performance issues with Logic Pro 9:
bad midi timing and sync, user interface is kinda slowing and less reactive, ...
Mac Pro 2x2.26 Ghz Quad, 4Gb ram, early 2009, shipped with 10.5.6 now upgraded to 10.5.8
Should I upgrade to 10.6.2?
Thanx

Hi,
I'm using the same machine ...
I never get any performance issues
I bought my mac in March 2009 and I was ben ready to work in less that 3 days without issue...
so more details about your setup are required to answare!
4GB ram???
I suggest to check your ram!!!
Ram must be compatible with Xeon Nehalem Try specification!
if you add 1GB of ram from nor clear manufactor.. i suggest to disconnect the addition 1GB RAM

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!

I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. How do I get it to stop?

I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop? My sound is running through the Saffire Pro 40 Interface (Focusrite) into external speakers with powered amps.
Also, When I record I am hearing little pops in the system. I have checked all of my meters and they are not clipping. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop?

Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tristan
Tristan...
This is what you have, correct?
http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
This from Alesis..
"The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.
