Digital outs in Logic Express with 828 or 002 rack

Can someone tell me if it is possible to use the digital ins and outs of either my MOTU 828 or DIgi 002 rack with LE? It's no where as easy as Pro tools or DP!!

Forgive my naivety... when you say "digital outs" are you talking about SPDIF? Does this mean I can't run Logic Express with an interface connected to the SPDIFs on my G5? Only Pro? Or am I off the mark?
Thanks!

I have just bought a 2011 iMac (2.5 ghz, 4gb) and logic express 9, and when i installed logic and tried to run it i had a message saying 'you can't use this version of the application logic express with this version of Mac OS X. How do i sort this out!?

How do i sort this out!? It is very frustrating as the main reason i have bought a mac is to use logic! Any help would be great as i am a complete novice when it comes to Macs!

You're probably on OS X Lion?
I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

Logic Express with MBox

Can someone please help.Can I use Logic Express with an MBox and if so how.

Hey Roma,
welcome to the forum!
Assumming you had the drivers installed, (in Logic) go to the audio menu>audio hardware & drivers>Driver (change from built in audio to Digidesign HW (MBox), Relaunch, that's it.
((Click on (say) audio 1 (to select track) Press R to arm it and you shoud now have sound level on metters. Don't forget the I/O in logic is audio 1 = input 1, audio 2 = input 2, audio 3 = input 1, audio 4 = input 2 and so on (by default))
Kiddly regards,
Jorge

NO SOUND! I can't get any sound out of logic express....

Very recently, sound stopped coming out of my Logic Express.
There is a level (on the master) going out, and the master volume of the program is up, but nothing is coming through the speakers!
All other sounds are coming out (itunes etc), just not logic. Has previously been working fine!
I must have clicked something by accident, any suggestions please?!?

The first time I synced with the ipad I did go through "restore" from iTunes. The other options on the screen were "restore from iCloud" and "new ipad".
How do I do a restore now? With the ipad attached? Everytime I connect and disconnect the ipad to the cable, even with reboot, it takes me back to the same grey iPad configuration screen. Do I need to do a hard reset?

Logic Express with Oxygen 25 - no sound

I am trying to use an Oxygen 25 controller with logic express. In Logic I can see that it is receiving a midi signal but I can not get any sound from the midi controller to come out. There is sound from everything else, but not the midi.
I feel like there is an easy answer (or they are not compatible), but a little help would be nice.

Hi,
you have to use the Controller with a software instrument track that has a software instrument selected as "input". A Controller like the Oxygen does not make a sound of it's own, but merely sends MIDI data to Logic, which then uses this data to trigger it's software instruments.

Can I use logic express with my Macbook

I just got a macbook and i was wondering if I can use Logic express or pro on it??

yes!
it of coourse depends what you want to do with it - but yes!
by all acounts logic express and pro will run very well on the new macbooks.
I'm using pro on my old powerbook - just about manage to use it live and it's slow but useable to get ideas down onto and am using an intel imac as my main studio computer with logic pro 7.2.3 - it's essentially the same as a macbook except it doesn't have integrated graphics and it has a faster hard disk which does make a difference. Apart from that i'm sure your new macbook would toast my powerbook in terms of performance.
Be sure to get the intel version of logic (7.2 and above) as an older "ppc" version may run but is not supported and would probably run very slowly.
Enjoy!

Digital Performer and Logic Express

Is there any way to rewire Logic Express (as slave) through Digital Performer (as host)? It doesn't show up in Digital Performer's audio inputs so I'm guessing not...
Thanks

How did you try it?

Problems Using Logic Express with Alesis Multimix 8

Hi,
Does anybody have any experience of using the Alesis Multimix 8 USB with Logic Express 7.0.1? As far as I can tell the software is set up OK. The problem is that there is an awful amount of noise present on both the input and the output (sounds like inordinatley loud dither). The problem is also present on Garageband and iTunes but not with Cubase LE (bundled in with the Multimix).
I have searched and searched the internet for drivers for the Multimix but with no luck. At the moment I am just using the "core audio" USB codec drivers that are built in as I seem to have no other option.
Does anybody have any suggestions before I go ahead and buy another external audio interface? (got my eye on the new Behringer F-CONTROL AUDIO FCA202)
Rev. G Rock
PS I am running OS X (10.3.9) on a G4 iBook (1.33 GHz, 1.25 GB RAM) and have done all the updates available for Logic Express 7.0(.1)
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

OK I understand it's helpful to others to post solutions should you find them so here goes:
It would seem that the problem is with the built in CODEC used by OS X. You can update using the drivers available at http://www.usb-codec.com
I used the demo version to see if it solved the problem which it did. However you need to buy the software to get rid of the annoying beep every 30 secs on the demo version. well worth it to get my hardware working properly though.

Logic Express with not Recognise Amplitube 3 as a Plug-in

I cannot get Logic Express 9 to recognise Amplitube 3 as a plug-in. What do I need to do to make get it to use Amplitube. I'm new to Logic Express and I'm enjoying the on-board amp sims, but I really love my Amplitube.

Advice needed on sharing/registering logic express with 2 users

Me and my mate, have got into audio production, and i am wondering if we can BOTH register the same logic program.
Is there a specific limit on how many users can be on one single program? Surely logic must allow you at least 2 users, say incase you have a mac at home, and one in a seperate studio.
All replys will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

amd athlon xp Windows XP Pro

No Dan,
I'm affraid you can't do that, it's highlly Illegal,
You can't register one licence to two persons,
You can install it on two of Your machines, (not your mate's one)
for the reason that You can only use one at the time.
Otherwise, it will be a paradise, everyone would find software mates
and split the price and I would be on Pro instead of LE! :o)
I believe you can have LE as an academic (if you are one or your mate) for a fraction of the price.
Anyway, welcome to the forum, I wish that you have all the fun with LE and make nice music with it.
Kindly Regards,
Jorge

Logic Express with 10.5

Just upgarded to 10.5. I have Logic with MachFive and Stylus RMX installed and working, but I'm having trouble with Symphonic Orchestra. It seems as though I can't install it (because 10.5 doesn't support classic). Any ideas on how I can get Symphonic Orchestra installed and working?

Try using SheepShaver or starting up into Mac OS 9; if neither of those works, you cannot at this time.

How to have logical expression with value '*' not wildcard '*'

Hi ,
    I have requirement where i have to filter records based on a field with value EQ '' but strangely it is taking wildcard '' in the production system. In the Dev system it is taken as exact value '' but behaves as a wild card in prod system.

Hard drive options for Logic Express with a Mac Mini

I'm considering getting a Mac Mini to use for recording video from a medical endoscopic camera. The reasons for choosing a Mac Mini are 1) low cost 2) small size and 3) no fans - blowing dust around an operating theatre can be a risk (therefore even if cost wasn't an issue, the fans would preclude other mac models).
I've been looking at the spec of a Mac Mini - they have 5400 rpm hard drives and only 1 firewire 800 port. I'm using a Canopus ADVC 55 to convert analogue video to DV which connects using Firewire.
Will the built in hard drive be ok, or should I consider replacing it with a 7200 rpm drive, or get an external Firewire drive. PResumably, with only 1 firewire port on the Mac Mini I would need to find either a hard drive with 2 firewire ports to chain devices (which I've heard can be a problem) or perhaps get a firewire hub (similar problem?).
Currently I'm using a MacBook Pro with an internal 7200 rpm drive and this works fine (except when it gets low on hard drive space and I get dropped frames, leading to complete loss of the recording...).

Thanks - I just did a quick search and there are some Firewire 800/400 'bilingual' hubs around at reasonable prices.
I'm tempted to try the Mac Mini server, and perhaps have the 2 drives in a Raid 0 configuration. I could then have it backing up to a Time Capsule overnight (to mitigate the risk of using Raid 0).
Recording to an external drive might be useful though - as it would be a quick way of moving the data to a Mac Pro for compression for archiving. I find moving 10-20GB files over 802.11n to be very time consuming.
I'll certainly bear the dust in mind in terms of the risk to the Mac Mini (I've seen PC's having failed power supplies because the air inlets have been clogged with dust). My main concern however would be the risk of infection due to the fans causing air movement. There is an enclosed space it could be located, not great for cooling though.

How can i get a free digital download for the Logic express 9 DVD version

I recently bought an new Imac. There is no dvd player. What gets me frustrated is that i own almost all Apple products, but i can't seem to get my DVD version of Logic Express on my new imac. I tried to share the dvd drive of my macbook pro, but that doesnot work with copy protected software. So i can't install from that external dvd drive.
So now i have a:
Iphone
Ipad mini
Macbook pro
Imac
and ik can't use my officially purchased version of Logic. Microsoft offers a free digital download for registered version of Office for Mac. Is er there also a free digital download for Logic Express? Anybody?
If there is not, i feel ripped off.
Thanks.

Why not ask in the Logic Express forums?
