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.

2 Tracks, 2 different audio outputs:

I have two tracks, exactly the same. However, one track (track 1) has a metronome click, the other does not (track 2). My laptop is connected to a Mackie Pro FX12 mixer. I am connecting my laptop to the mixer via the laptop audio output jack connecting to a tape input on the mixer. I would like track 2 (no metronome) to run through audio speakers and track 1 (metronome) to run through headphones. Both the speaker and headphone outputs are on the mixer. What do I need to do with Logic Express to make certain that the tracks are run through the correct output?

I'm having some problems with this as well. I want to have one track playing on one output (headphones) and then another track playing on another output (speakers). I have panned each track, so one is on full left and the other on full right. But I don't understand what to do now? How do I route each track to a different output? I don't know how to do this.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

How to choose between different audio output in different programs

I want to choose between the audio outputs in different programs.
For example; I want to hear spotify/iTunes with my plugged-in speakers and skype with the build-in/intern speakers.
It is possiple to control this on Windows but can I do it on Mac?
Does anyone know an app for this problem?
Thanks for help!

I'd assume you'd want to set the sequence to "slur" notes and then just calculate the notes between a top & bottom value based on a float and generate NOTE_ON messages appropriately.
The pitch bend is designed to emulate / support the bend wheel found on sound keyboards...and it just modifies the pitch associated with a given note. A pitch bend of +2 would turn an A into B, etc...
So, you'd want to do...
SET_SLUR (however you do that, I'm not a MIDI expert)
pitch = bottom_pitch + ((top_pitch-bottom_pitch) * sliderValue);
NOTE_ON(pitch)

Is there no way to direct an AIR app's audio to different audio output devices?

I'm needing to make a couple of our AIR apps select certain audio devices to send their audio output to, and last year, somebody mentioned possibly using native extensions to do this. I had to start working on other things for a while, but I've come back to this (for the moment), and I've basically learned how to create native extensions.
But so far, they don't seem to provide me any special access to anything going on under the hood of an AIR app. When you stream live audio in through RTMP or RTMFP, the details of the audio are hidden from you. There doesn't appear to be any place where you can actually access the audio bytes that are being sent over the wire. You can specify a certain SoundTransform object for the NetStream to use, but that class is final and a vanilla Flash construct, so even if it may have a way to access the audio bytes, they're not acessible at all.
It really looks like, when a NetStream object starts streaming in live audio, there is no way under the sun to access the audio bytes and direct them to a certain audio output device, with or without extensions. Is this so? It would be unfortunate if Adobe didn't allow this, even through native extensions. Thanks.

Couple quick thoughts..
Limits are important. There's a large amount of work done to keep a clear separation between a users decision and a developers decision. For instance, you can't change a users default audio output because that clearly violates a users decision. That said, here's a whole mess of people debating the issue and actually eventually an undocumented COM API you can find that will actually let you do it in Vista/Win7 (but not 8), however don't expect that to be a 'good thing to do':
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/9ebd7ad6-a460-4a28-9de9-2af63fd4a13e/programatica lly-setting-the-default-playback-device-and-recording-device?forum=windowspro-audiodevelop ment
You might want to get a beverage before reading that.
Aside that, RTMP is secured, which is why you can't gain access to the bytes. The entire purpose of it is to assure media developers that their media can't easily be copied/stolen. Adobe doesn't document their method of securing streams but they do publish the RTMP specification. It's entirely possible for you to create your own RTMP server and encryption method while delivering a RTMP stream to custom client that you code yourself which can read the stream. Here's the spec:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/rtmp.html
So I'd say it would be unfortunate if Adobe did give you access to the bytes. You might as well just hand users a mp3 of whatever song is playing because they would steal media left and right.
That isn't to say you can't use a multitude of ways of getting the data going across the default output device. Plenty of apps (fraps/etc) capture video and mixed audio streams. But Adobe isn't going to give you the keys to the kingdom and let you decrypt their protected media protocol.

Different versions of logic studio?

Hi people! It's my first time posting here.
I have a question to ask. You see, I bought the logic express just before the logic pro standalone version was released and I feel like I had been sucker punched hard in the guts. I'm looking to upgrade my logic express from the prev apple offerings of upgrading to logic studio. I've looked at eBay and amazon for the upgradable logic studio but I'm seeing logic studio v2.0 and logic studio
http://www.amazon.com/Logic-Studio-Upgrade-Express-Version/dp/B002IT1QFE/ref=sr_ 1_4?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1343278880&sr=1-4&keywords=Logic+studio
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-Apple-Logic-Studio-v2-0-Upgrade-Logic-Express- Big-Box-/320948301161?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item4aba026d69#ht_6616wt_922
My question is which is the latest version offered before the standalone logic pro was announced? Or is there even such thing as an apple logic studio 2? I've compared the specs and both seemed to be offering the same specs and etc.
Anyone has got any other idea for upgrading logic express to the latest studio?
Thanks !

Anyone?

Two different Forums for Logic Studio ?

Am I right that this is in fact the real Logic Studio discussions forum , while the other forum called "Logic Studio" has only a few threads.
A bit confusing - what is the difference between "Pro" and "Studio", isn't it the same thing now ?
As far as I remember Logic 8 was the last "Logic Pro" ???
I think the two forums could be merged in to one "Logic Forum".
Just an idea...

The "Logic Studio" forum seems to be Mainstage and Soundtrack related...
Unnecessary and confusing in my opinion. This is in fact the forum that relates to the Logic DAW application.

2 Different audio outputs

Is there a way to configure my mac to play iTunes out of the headphone jack and play all other programs (like safari) through my bluetooth headset? I'm a beginning DJ and was wondering if this could be done. What steps will I need to take to do what I want? New sound card?

I'm having some problems with this as well. I want to have one track playing on one output (headphones) and then another track playing on another output (speakers). I have panned each track, so one is on full left and the other on full right. But I don't understand what to do now? How do I route each track to a different output? I don't know how to do this.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Audio outputs on FCE?

If I have, say 5 audio tracks in Final Cut Express, will it be possible to route these tracks to different audio outputs (I have an audio interface with several analog audio output channels)? So far I have only been able route all audio tracks to one stereo output.
If not possible with this app. any hints on how to play out video + five different audio tracks / outputs simultaneously??

Not simultaneously. In real time you can only output 1 stereo audio pair. Your 5 tracks will be mixed into a single stereo pair based on the Left/Right channel assignments you make on each audio track.
On the other hand, you CAN export each audio track independently, with appropriate markers for use in SoundTrack, DVD Studio Pro, etc. This is a technique to export audio tracks to build a 5.1 soundtrack in an application like DVD Studio Pro.

I have lost all audio output

I don't know what has happened, but I can't get any audio out from Soundtrack Pro anymore.
Even if I open previous projects, and try different audio outputs such as Built-in Out, Built in Line Out or my MOTU 828MK2, there's no audio, even though the meters show audio signal.
It worked a month ago, but even the projects I did one month ago are now silent.
In Final Cut Pro I have no problems getting the audio (thru my 828MK2) but when I switch to Soundtrack there's no sound.
I would have assumed they all use the same Audio/Midi setup?

go to settings, general, sounds, and check the volume. if the sound there is full blast, try going to settings, music, volume limit, and make sure that's turned off. now if that fails to work, try reseting the ipod by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen. if that doesn't work restore your ipod on itunes.

Using multiple audio output devices.

Hey, does anybody know a program for assigning different audio outputs to different applications. For example, having Safari and the OS outputing to the computer speakers, while iTunes and Muse output to bluetooth speakers/headphones (non airport). Can it be done?

Sound Bunny is a nice replacement for Detour, which got lost in the move from PPC years ago. Hoever, there is a small bug with sites with audio (auto-play audio, that is) in Safari 7 (at least). They return the error below and won't load. This happen on other sites, but if it happens on the Google site as well, then something is seriously wrong. The company tech support insists: "SoundBunny will not stop any website from loading. SoundBunny is a audio controlling software and does not control which websites to load." ~ Abu; Prosoft Engineering Customer Support
Even after sending them two screenshots like this, I have gotten no response and no answer to how I might REMOVE the plugin from Safari. So while I like the program, I would be able to RECOMMEND IT if the comapny was at least responsive and recognizes that there is, in fact, an issue to be resolved.

How to stream Logic's audio output live via internet

Hi there, I'm looking for a way to stream the audio output from Logic (or any other DAW) from one recording studio via internet to another studio… not for remote recording, just for the producer for "creative monitoring", because he's out of town… so the audio quality doesn't need to be top notch. (Talkback would e.g. be via Skype.)
First question: is there a way to do it directly within the Logic DAW, i.e. from one Logic app to the other (remote) Logic app? I.e. just a "mirror" of the audio output (as stereo) that Logic will send directly to a remote host? I.e. a built-in Logic functionality? (I couldn't find anything in the manual.)
Second question: system-wise I assume it would be possible to do it by simply routing the output channels through Soundflower or JackOSX, and then into an application like Skype, where you would have to select the respective Soundflower/JackOSX channels as input.
One problem: the whole thing shouldn't interfere with the regular recording and monitoring setup in the originating studio. So maybe it would be best to simply have an additional monitor output from the hardware console or soundcard going by audio cable into a second computer, which will use the incoming audio as Skype input.
In a similar vein: is there a way to create a second pair of stereo outs in Logic, which functions as a direct audio "mirror"? It means that I would have the main stereo out signal on channels 1 & 2 (as always), but then also have the exact same signal on output channels 3 & 4 at the same time, which I could route to the soundcard's 3&4 outputs or through Soundflower into Skype?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you, I think that answered my question. So it would go like this:
(1) All recording tracks plus playback tracks are routed not to stereo master output, but to a pre-master bus, e.g. bus 1.
(2) The pre-master bus (bus 1) output is then routed to stereo main out (1 & 2).
(3) On bus 2 (aux master) I select input from bus 1 (the pre-master bus), but route aux master bus output to stereo outputs 3 & 4.
(4) With outputs 3 & 4 I could then go directly into Skype, either on the same machine, or from the sound card 3&4 outputs into the input of a second computer running Skype.
I'll add an image in the follow-up post.

Audio hardware interface to use with Logic Studio 8 and Pro Tools M-Powered

I want to get Logic Studio and Pro Tools M-Powered. I do film sound design and music as a hobby. I plan to compose music with Logic and edit film audio with Pro Tools.
Here is my main concern:
I want to get ONE firewire audio interface that will work with both programs (Logic Studio and Pro Tools). I need one that has multiple outputs because I will be mixing in surround sound (mostly the film audio). Are there any suggestions? Inputs on what people like, don't like, work well with both? What I should completely avoid? I figured Pro Tools M-Powered (as opposed to LE, HD) would be better for me simply because of price and possibly using the m-audio interface with Logic too.
Let the advice begin please. I will be happy to answer any questions you have for me that would help you provide better advice for me.
Thank you in advance
TTW13

Yes, Logic Studio is surround sound capable, but unfortunately a lot of places that I would potentially like to be working at, that do audio post, that I've seen, require a knowledge of Pro Tools. I know it's not the best but it's the industry standard and it's what many companies use so I need to learn it (basically). I don't want to limit myself to stereo outs on the audio interface on PT. Maybe I should to keep my budget down though??? I guess now I'm looking at PT LE and the 003 family, this one in particular
http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?langid=100&navid=126&itemid=5028
I dunno, by the time it's "technically" compatible with Leopard I might be able to afford it.
Anyone currently using Pro Tools LE with Leopard right now? For some people it apparently works???

My serial number for Logic Studio doesn't work. I used one from a different box and it worked. How can I get a new number?

Help! No Audio output In Logic Express 7

I have been running logic 7 Express with a MOTU Traveler for over a year now (with very few problems), and just this morning i have encountered a very puzzling problem. When i opened the song i was working on last night, i found that there was no audio output--just intermitant digital beeps at very high pitches (10-15k). i tried opening other songs; same problem. this problem does not occur when using the built in audio driver, so i was thinking it must be a hardware issue, but iTunes seems to output as per usual THROUGH THE MOTU so i'm really scratching my head here. hard drives etc seem to mount so the firewire port seems to be ok. i'm getting the same results (no audio playback and high digital pitches in Quicktime and Live as well...
has anyone with this setup ever experienced anything like this???!!!
thanks for reading,

Check you preferences in LE for what you have selected for output. Also, and I am not 100% sure, because for me this is always already set, make sure each track has Output 1-2 on the channel strip. On my setup, I have my Tascam US-122 set for both input and output, then my monitor system is connected to the US-122. Now I don't recall which, but I think it was Logic that wants both input and output to be the same device. I am pretty sure, because I know I have used both in GB. Also, on my US-122, there's a switch for mono, so my recording comes in both speakers, as well as a direct monitoring switch, with a separate volume control, so I can balance my recording with the tracks I am playing to, to my liking. I am not familiar with your unit, but I'd think it'd have some similar features. Hope this helps some, anyway.

Logic Pro X with OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 Audio output cuts out 3-5 minutes into running software?

Logic Pro X with OSX 10.9.2 Audio output cuts out 3-5 minutes into running software how can I fix this?

Well, first....
Are you using any 3rd party plugins in your project?
If not then my suggestion wont be the cause......
To see which plugins you have installed (Though it's only if they are being actually used in the project that would cause your issue..) you can see them via the Audio Unit Manager found under the Logic Pro X menu bar..... Logic Pro X..... Audio Unit Manager
Also, any reason you are still using 10.9.2 instead of updating to 10.9.5?
Do you get any message when the audio cuts out?
Are you only using internal audio hardware or are you using an external Audio Interface? if so, which one?
