DIGI 002R with Logic 8.0.2.

It seems that when in use with Logic it gives me almost no control over how loud the volume is. It was blistering loud at first (enough to make my heart race) even though the volume was all the way down. After several attempts to lower it I ended up using the Digi Core Audio Manager to lower the overall output of the digi. This helped bring it down to a reasonably loud level but still no control of the volume.
Not to mention it plays absolutely nothing when trying to play audio from my computer itself (previewing, itunes...)
Are there drivers i'm not aware of?

Oy. Don't get me started on that. If I double-click on a .mov, it opens, but doesn't seem to catch the Digi Core Audio driver, so it's silent. I actually have to launch QuickTime Player first with the Content Guide launch on, and then open the .mov to hear the audio.
The system sounds play through the Mac speaker regardless of the fact that I set the Sound sys prefs to play everything through the Digi box.
I don't get audio when using Leopard's QuickLook on audio and video documents in the Finder.
Sometimes the Digi Core Audio utility doesn't quit, so it keeps my Mac from shutting down.
Sometimes the Digi Core Audio utility won't connect to the Digi box because it thinks it's "in use."
I just gotta say, I had to get the Digi box in order to use Pro Tools and I'm beginning to think that's not a good enough reason. I think I'm gonna hook my MOTU back up and just turn the Digi box on only when I need Pro Tools.
Sorry, this is a totally out of context rant and it's not directed at anyone but Digi, which means posting this in this forum is especially silly.

Digi 002r and Logic issue

I there, Im sorry to post this here but I really dont know were else to find answers. Im stucked with a really nice digi 002r modified by black lion (the signature series, yes). That make this card a jewel, but I cant seem to make it work on my new mac.
=> I dont find the digidesign techsupport center
=> I dont find a proper way to install it. So far Ive tried the 002003_driversv90, wich is made especially for this soundcard model, but it dosent seems like it work. Ive also tried the coreAudio installer v803 wich is the most recent installer and is suppose to work fine on intel but when I turn the soundcard "on" even tho the Digidesign CoreAudio Manager status shows "002R connected @ 44,1K", I cant switch my master computer sound to the 002R, but I can use it in Logic (better than nothing).
Mayby someone here know how to contact digidesign techsupport, or better, know a trick set the master out of the computer to the 002R?

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.

Is anyone using a Digi 003 with Logic? What is latency like? Thoughts?

Hey EVeryone
I am looking at a Digi 003 interface for running Logic... we are keen to use an automated desk, instead of the Yamaha n12 currently in use...
The n12 has been BRILLIANT in terms of low-latency monitoring - we usually run it at a buffer of 32 samples and for most scenarios, even with a fair few effects running, that works really well for direct monitoring through Logic.
I'm interested to know what experiences people have had with the Digi 003 in terms of latency...
Another thing I love about the n12 is that I can just monitor straight through it, when I don't need to run any effects in real-time on the channel I'm recording. This is a simple thing that's really handy.
Is there any such option for running a channel straight through the 003 at zero-latency, if required?
Any other feedback, beyond the issue of latency, would also be welcomed!
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike
I have a 003R, I loath it. I have had to have it sent back for repair many times to Digidesign. I bought it to retain compatibility with ProTools incase clients brought PT sessions in. Well, since I bought it, I have had zero requests to use PT. It has issues with latency, frequently changing from one recording to another and not recognizing the buffer settings within Logic. The latency issues were the same within PT too, even switching from 44.1 to higher settings like 48Khz made it have latency. I have had enough so I am selling it and switching back to an all Apogee system.
Mattrix is right, shop around, there are way better systems for less money out there. Only get one if you absolutely need ProTools compatibility.
Sincerely
Bobbi
ps Another frequent problem is it "drops" from the system and you have to reboot it to use it again...

Can I use digi 003 console with logic pro 10 ???

I have the new mac pro with new os mavrik and
I have the digi 003 console work with pro tools 10 perfect
I want to work with logic pro 10 and I don't know if it work with my digi 003 console
Please help me

Hi again Bill,
Something very strange has happened this morning. I was using Logic and thought 'I'll just plug in the TASCAM again to see if anything happens' and it just worked straight away. This is most peculiar as I didn't do or press anything to make it work. Yesterday when I was trying to get it to work, I closed the program and restarted the computer several times are making adjustmemnts but it just wasn't working at all. It seems a good night sleep has gievn it time to think things through lol.

ProTool Digi 003 new driver issues with Logic

I just purchased Logic Pro and have OS 10.9.5 running on a new 2.2 Ghz Inter Core i7 16 GB memory laptop.
I was told that the new driver for the Digi 003 would work with Logic and yet I have all kinds of crazy issues whenever I connect Logic to it.
The issues shift all around including midi issues, but the main problem is that no audio can be heard through the Digi 003.
There is a very faint (VERY FAINT) ghost of sound coming through but I can barely hear it.
I tried setting the output to the computer headphone jack but then none of the effects I have are audible.
When I try and record sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. All inputs are correct and I have tried changing them.
This has been hours on the phone with Apple who keep telling me that it's all AVID's fault. AVID has no tech support and doesn't care which is why I'm switching from Pro Tools to Logic after 15 years.
Buying a new interface would defeat the money savings that I thought switching to Logic would bring as well as sending a perfectly good piece of equipment to the landfill.
Any help appreciated but please keep the comments to civil and nice. Thank you.

Using Digi 003 interface with Logic Studio or Pro

I currently have a modified (Black Lion Audio) Digi 003 Rack interface that I use with Pro Tools, but would like to get Logic Studio (or Pro). I have heard 50% say that the Digi 003R or Mixer won't work (properly) with Logic and I have heard another 50% say that it works fine. Can somebody please end this debate once and for all, so I can make the big $500-$1000 decision. I'm really itching to get Logic so I can use all of its great features. I would like to hear that it works fine, but if not, I'd rather know the facts before wasting my money. Thank you to anybody who can put this question to rest.

Lets clear up some things - Logic Studio comes with Logic Pro. . . so that's $500. Logic Pro 7 is old and you don't need it anymore, it WAS $1000. So, no need to spend a grand on Logic.
Next, 003R works absolutely fine as an interface with Logic. The mixer won't work as a control surface (although it will work fine as an interface) because Digi's control surface stuff is proprietary and isn't made to work with Logic.
So, to sum up - Logic Studio is Logic Pro 8 and a ton of other apps and its only $500.
003 Rack works fine with Logic.

Another User reported that they had to Re-Install Logic to get it working after the Lion Upgrade..

If you have changed its name or moved it somewhere else...
Put it Back....
The Logic Pro Folder should look like this...

MacPro distortion for Firewire Audio (duet, digi 002r)

Hi -
First off, thanks for reading. I'm at the end of my rope on this one.
For the last 2 years (since I moved from a G4 + digi 001 to an intel mac + 002r) I have been experiencing intermittent distortion issues where the audio distorts periodically, sometimes for just a second at a time, but eventually permanently.
The fix with the 002r was restarting PT. I assumed it was a digi problem, until I replaced the 002r with an Apogee Duet and STILL have the same problem, even after installing 10.5 clean and deleting all Digi drivers.
The fix with the Duet is to change the format in Audio MIDI setup from 44.1 to another setting (doesn't matter which). Apogee has told me this resets the firewire driver. It's better than restarting, but still ***** horribly. Their support has been somewhat helpful (definitely more than Digi's) but not pointed me in the right direction yet.
This happens in Logic, but also happens in the OS, for example if I'm playing a quicktime movie or listening to iTunes. the regular audio port has no issues.
This has been driving me crazy for 2 years. If anyone can help I would be eternally grateful.
Setup details:
MacPro 1,1 (dual xeon 2.66)
3 GB memory
2 fast drives (on serial-ATA, not daisy-chained on FW)
duet (plugged into rear FW port) (and had same problem with 002r)
OS X 10.5.5
Logic Studio (but had same problem with PT)
Native Instruments Guitar Rig + Kontakt (but had problem prior to installing these)
Thanks -
Michael

I happened upon this post that said they encountered problems with just the rear port of the mac pro. I switched to the front port and sure enough it seems for now at least to have gone away. hallelujah!
here is the post on the rear port being off

Issues with Logic 9

1) Frontier Designs Alpha Track would not work at first. Fixed this.
2) Mouse scroll ball will not work in EQ anymore? Anyone seeing this? I used this alot to tweak the Q and dB values without dragging.
3) Drum replacment enhancement is always greyed out with my drum tracks yet it is not with my other tracks? Haven't been able to use it at all!?
4) Install process did not ask me to insert any of the audio content DVD's. Why? Are they the same as those installed with Logic 8?
5) Why is the "Help" menu so worthless in logic?
6) Why is the website other than this forum so useless when it come to tch questions? Am I missing something?

Try looking here for your answer <http://duc.digidesign.com/>
I use a Digi 002r & an Mbox 2 Pro with PT & LP9 with absolutely no problems as you describe.

Which Digidesign interfaces work best with Logic Pro ?

Can anyone tell which of these work best with Logic if any at all?
- Digi-003
- M-Box Pro
- M-box2
- M-Box mini
- M-Powered

Thanks for the posts
After hearing complaints about latency, driver
issues, horrible quality,incompatibility with there
plugs in logic as well as no chance to stand against
performances and sound quality of other hardware half
there prices i thought to ask.
Wow. All that??? And then they recommend Migraine-Audio to you??? I don't think those posters know what they are talking about.
I've been using Logic since it could be used with Digidesign hardware, from version 4.8.1, and it has always worked very well.
It does pay to research the setting up of a DAW computer, as it is almost never just "plug-n-play" like many people believe. But once it is set up, it can run for years without problems. Most people experience problems because they change the setup, install free plugins, change audio gear, every other day of the week, and of course, that makes for a very unstable situation. No wonder they complain. But it is their tech-ethic they should be complaining about, not the equipment.
Can anyone verify there set ups and latency?
Here's one extensive test I did on my Digi 002R:
http://nicksevilla.com/logicpro-som/LogicTests.html
The latency is the same as with other comparable FireWire interfaces. Not more, and not less.
i wont drag this out into a long post i just want a
round about, all logic users in other forums seem to
be against Digi hardware, most advised to buy the
cheapest possible M-Audio interface just to run M
Powered Pro Tools if i realy need PT at all.
Really??? All of them???And did they know they are advising you to buy stuff that actually does NOT work properly??? Shame on those posters you read, as Digidesign drivers are a LOT more stable that the Migraine-Audio ones. Digidesign themselves told me to stay away from M-Audio... so you read into that whatever you like. I'll keep that advise from them.

HT3423 My iMac came with logic Express 8 installed, how do I get it to work on my mac book pro

My iMac came with Logic Express 8 Pre installed. How do I get it to work on my Mac Book Pro

Along with your OS and applications installation DVDs, you should have gotten an LE8 installation DVD along with its manual and serial numbers when you bought your iMac.
Your license allows you to install LE8 on two computers as long as they are your computers, you are the sole user, and you do not run Logic on both simultaneously. So dig out your installation DVD, install it on your MacBook Pro and enter your serial number and you will be good to go.

How do I make a Tascam FW-1082 "work" with Logic Pro?

I just purchased logic pro and a tascam FW-1082. im trying to get them to work together, but i dont really know where to start. I ran the tascam driver, and did some configuring in logic, but it doesnt seem like they are working together seamlessly. my previous workflow involved a digi 002 with pro tools, and id like to configure logic and the tascam and logic to work like that. so, what do i do?
1.5 G4 12" powerbook/ single 1.8 g5 powermac Mac OS X (10.4.4) logic Pro, tascam FW-1082

It emulates a Mackie Control which Logic supports. Open the Control Surfaces setup/install window, make sure MIDI ins and outs are both connected, turn on the unit and it should appear a in couple of seconds. If it doesn't, manually install it. It's reasonably clear and the 1082 is even listed in the install window. You shouldn't have much trouble.

Digidesign 002 Rack with Logic Studio

Hi,
I have recently bought a macbook pro and am wanting to record at my drum teachers house. He uses an iMac running Pro Tools with the 002 Rack. As i am wanting to record and mix everything in logic, not pro tools, can i use a firewire 800 to 400 cable to connect the 002 Rack to my macbook and then record through that? Or is the 002 Rack not compatible with Logic?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I believe in theory this should work.
You will need to download a driver called "Standalone Digidesign CoreAudio Drivers" for Mac OS X to make the 002 work on your system called. As I understand it this is for folks that have Digi Design hardware but don't have PT installed on there system.
Try this page for the driver that is at the bottom of the page.
http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?navid=54&itemid=23375
I am sure folks that own an 002 and use it without PT can be of more help here than I.
Good luck,
Jay

Mbox With Logic, Can I Get A Lower Buffer Size Please?

I just bought an original mbox and I want to use it as a 2 track in/out interface with Logic. In order to get it to function I've been using the digi core audio manager. Using that manager has limited me to a high buffer setting. I am stuck at 512, and I would like to shorten that to 128 or lower. Does anyone know if this is possible? Is there some other way that I can get the mbox to function without using the core audio manager?

Logic;s mixer is so flexible that you can pretty much rig up what you want.
However, the traditional way to set up monitor mixes, if you really need different levels per channel (and not just stems), is to use pre-fade aux sends, and send those to a second set of outputs/busses, and adjust the send levels accordingly.
It might get a little more complex if you already have FX returns and stuff, because you'll need to make sure those go to the monitor mix as well.
For me, it's not worth the bother to set up a complete monitor mix for all channels. If I need to do it, it's usually to alter the balance for recording (say, more drums, less keyboards, more bvox), and I would just set up a second mix from the stems going to a second pair of outputs, and monitor from that - it's much quicker to set up, easier to control, and usually gives me what I need - your mileage may yada yada etc...
