Emagic Logic Question

I have an old Mac with Emagic Logic 2.5.4 (before Apple bought them). Can I save a song that can be opened with the current Logic software (or any other software for that matter), and if so, how?
My computer is on the brink and I would hate to lose all the songs I've written.
Many thanks

Indeed, one has to save as a MIDI file and then it can be opened in any DAW, but you will lose Logic-specific references.
I have a question for both of you however. I notice that both of you have Logic 2.0/2.5. I have suffered a catastrophic power surge on my Power Mac, which wiped out my HD in the process. I am now in the process of trying to find a copy of Logic 2.0 so I can re-install on a replacement Mac, as I've lost my original floppies a long time ago. My question is this: if you guys maybe have upgraded to a newer DAW, would you consider letting me have or selling me Logic 2.0? You would really be helping me out.
Anyways, I would certainly appreciate it if you would get back to me.
If this is not allowed, please let me know, I just don't know another way of asking such a question.

Can I open emagic logic projects in Logic Express 7.2?

Hi
I am recording a band in a few weeks, who have already laid down their (live) drum tracks in a proper studio that uses Emagic Logic. I don't know which version, but he runs it on a G4.
I use GarageBand at the moment, but am about to move up to Logic Express 7.2. Will I be able to import the Emagic Logic projects into Logic Express 7.2?
Cheers

Cheers - it's good news that they're compatible.
I'll have plenty of time to practice with Logic beforehand. Sure it'll be a challenge, but I'm not going to let that put me off.

A few simple Logic questions...please help.

I have a few probably simple Logic questions, that are nonetheless frustrating me, wondering if someone could help me out.
1. I run Logic 8, all of the sounds that came with logic seem to work except organ sounds. I can't trigger any organ sounds (MIDI) on Logic, they won't play. I have a Yamaha Motif as my midi controller.
Any idea why?
2. I've starting running into a situation where I will record a MIDI track, the notes are recorded but they won't playback. The only track effected is the one that was just recorded. All other midi tracks playback.
I have to cut the track, usually go out of Logic and back in, re record for it to playback properly. Any idea why this may be happening?
3. How important is it to update to Logic 9. Are there any disadvantages down the road if I don't upgrade. If I purchase the $200 upgrade, do I get a package of discs and material, or it just a web download.
Any help is appreciated!

I will Win XP and Lion in BootCamp,I Play Emagic Logic 5 ( XP ) in my Studio,pleas help me!!!!!

Hallo, bin zum ersten Mal überhaupt in so einer Communitie ( was zieht man den da an ) ?
Die verzweiflung treibt mich her!
Habe ein MacBook Pro 2011,alle Updates gemacht;WinXP Prof. SP2 auf Parallels ; auch mein Musikprogramm Emagic Logic 5.5 ist installiert ,nuuuuuur ...... funktioniert es nicht so wie es soll !!!! !!!! ( Sichwort : LATENZ ) !!!!
Kurzum ich müßte von jemand da drausen einen guten Tip bekommen , wie ich dem BootCamp vorgauckeln kann daß eine Windoof 7 CD im Laufwerk liegt ,
in Wirklichkeit steckt aber meine Windows XP drin , so daß der BC das nicht merkt und ich meine Win XP Partition bekomme .
Den Rest der Problematik und das was so anderweitig geschrieben wird und wurde kenne ich , aber gibts den kein Mittelchen , oder Programm um das
Problem zu lösen ?????

In short I would have someone there from out side to get a good tip as I can vorgauckeln the boot camp that a Windoze 7 CD in the drive, but in reality is inside my Windows XP, so that the BC will not notice this and I get my Windows XP partition.
The rest of the problem and what is written so elsewhere, and was I know, but do not get updated very often the remedies, or to the program
To solve this problem??
I think I understand the first parts:
Make sure Emagic Logic 5.5 is also updated or look at their site to see if a recent "update" messed things up, you may have to go back one version? Maybe try XP SP3?
If your MacBookPro came installed with 10.7 then Apple has dropped support for XP so they do not make Boot Camp drivers for XP. Only 10.6 and Boot Camp 3.x has drivers for XP.
Lion,10.7, ONLY has drivers (4.x) for Windows 7.
Parallels has their own set of drivers from what I understand. Parallels isn't recommended for any "high end" applications as it shares the system resources, ram, video, etc..
I hope some of it helped.....

Sorry another upgrade question Emagic Logic 6 Platinum to Logic 8

My question here is about upgrading. I have searched the forum and Apples site but have not been enlightened.
A few years ago I briefly used Logic as the front end on a PTs HD system I owned which I still have the dongle for. This was back in 2003. Im pretty sure it was then called Logic 6 platinum and it was before Apple bought Emagic
I no longer have those original disks but I have a hunch they wouldnt be compatible with the newest OS Is that correct?
So, if I go ahead and buy the upgrade how will the software know I'm upgrading if I cant load the old version...which I would rather not do anyway. If I have to produce a serial code that was held on a sticky bit of paper, I dont have that now, and the store I originally bought Logic from has since gone under.
IF I can upgrade, would I get the DVD's with the samples + Manual, or do they send only a disk with the programme.

Correct, you don't need the disks, and you don't need to install old software versions.
When you run the installer, it will ask for your new LP8 serial number, and will then ask you to insert your XSkey so it can check you have a Logic authorisation valid for the upgrade - then it will install LP8, and you will no longer need the key plugged it when running Logic.

A few protools to logic questions.

Hello.
long time protools user and returning logic user (version 3.x was the last interaction)
am really enjoying the sequencing aspects to logic but am becoming increasingly frustrated by what seems to be a few really simple features but constantly used features of protools.
hopefully someone might be able to point me in the right direction.
they all have to do with audio editing.
1) selection snapping to timeline. i have found the marquee tool, but how do then snap the playhead to where i want to place the copied selection?
2) duplicating a region on the time line creates a second instance of the region, however its the same instance.. thus any editing will occur to all regions. is there was a way to default this to automatically create new regions (as in protools, well in protools it creates a new region once edited).
3) another question on snapping.. in the main timeline you can select snap to bar.. but is there way to snap to smaller transients than a whole bar? i know you can set that in piano roll.. but what about for either the sample editor or the main timeline?
these are all key features which are used constantly in protools.. and before i get a barrage of responses, i know logic isnt protools.. but some of these features i have mentioned are present across most if not all audio editing applications (cubase, live and even fruity loops)
i would really like to cross back to logic, but i need to be able to perform the same basic tasks..
help me obiwan..
tom

Not sure about question 1, mainly because I have always just manually moved regions where I wanted them. But because of the answer to question #3, it's never been an issue for me.
If you click and hold on the "Snap" menu (upper right hand corner of the Arrange page), you'll see a drop down list of options, which include, bar, beat, division, ticks, frames, etc... this helps limit where the region will land while dragging. I personally leave it set to "smart", which, depending on zoom level, allows me to place regions exactly where I want, very quickly.
My "nudge" key commands also help in certain circumstances.
As far as duplicating a region, yes, you are merely copying the region, but it's still referencing the same audio file, so any edits done on one will affect all copies.
After option/dragging a region, if you want to edit it, and ONLY that particular copy, simply go under the audio menu, and select "Convert Regions to New Audio Files". This can be assigned a key command, so it can be a pretty instantaneous thing. Now it's a separate audio file, and any edits done to it won't happen on the original.
Hope some of that helps...

Model Object / Business Logic question

Hello,
Question about how to architect the model objects and services in our system. We are defining our own Model Object / Transfer Objects without the use of an ORM tool (long story). Some of these model objects have to maintain Association objects such as:
public class Teacher {
     private List<StudentAssociation> kids;
public class StudentAssociation {
     private Teacher teacher;
     private Student student;
     private Date fromDate;
     private Date toDate;
     // Getters / Setters ....
}My question is, where should the logic be to add, remove student associations? Originally we had it defined in the Teacher model object with:
public void addStudentAssociation(Student student, Date fromDate, Date toDate);
public void removeStudentAssociation(Student student, Date fromDate, Date toDate);But I am hesitant to put such logic in the Model Object. I always thought those should be pretty empty of any sort of business logic. Instead I want to have a TeacherService that does that and instead just a getter/setter on the Teacher object for the Association List. However, in doing that, I find I have to create a new List of Associations then call the setAssociations method on the Teacher object, which seems kind of strange.
Is it bad to put the add/remove method in the model object itself? The remove logic has a bit of business logic in it, so it seems weird being there.

Not sure I can be of much help, but here's my two cents worth:
You have a teacher object and student object. A teacher doesnt really have an association with a student. I think you need another object such as a class object. I class has a teacher and the students (an association can be a business association, social association, etc). That same teacher may be assigned to other classes (provided they dont occur at the same time since the teacher cant be in the two classes at the same time. Likewise, for a student. Complicating things is the fact that a teacher of one class may be a student in another class. Also, a class may exist that has students but no assigned teacher yet (your original idea wouldn't be able to handle this since you will need a teacher before you add students). Another case, you have a class without students. Still another case, you have people (either future students, or teaching staff that haven't been assigned as teachers yet), but no classes yet., I think it would be best to figure out a database schema first (you can use Oracle Lite, MySql, etc).
here is an example:
Assuming you are putting this in a database I would create tables and fields something like this:
Person ((a person is either a student or teacher, or just someone that is no longer a student or teacher but may be one day))
personId not null
firstname not null
middleName nullable
lastname not null
ssn not null
Class ( a class is where a teacher teaches students))
classId not null
nameOfCourse not null
building nullable (may not be assigned yet)
room nullable (may not be assigned yet)
startDate ((when the class starts)) nullable
endDate ((when the class ends)) nullable
teacherId ((this is the parentId from the person table)) nullable
Students
personId ((this is the personId from the person table))
classId
associations:
a class has 0 or 1 teacher,
0 or many students
a teacherId must exist in the person table as a personId
a studentId must exist in the person table as a personId
(if you delete a personId in the person table, it cascades deletes any teacherId or studentId of the same value)
your class has a collection of students. therefore:
private List<Student> students
Your class will also have something like
addStudent(Student student) (throw exception if student already exists) (note you dont pass in the start and
end date since its the class's responsibility for start and end date, not student)
isStudent(Student student) (return true if student is already in class, false if not)
deleteStudent(Student student) ((returns true if student found and deleted, false if student not found to delete)
Your business logic can check things such as if the start date occurs before the end date (an error), you have a class with no teacher or no students, etc. The first case you can do in the database with constraints if you want, but the second you cant since you want to store info for a class even if a teacher isn't assigned to it yet.
One way to do this is to have a validate() function in your class object. The validate() function checks such things as a class with no teacher and returns a collection of warnings if it finds anything wrong. All the above is just something off the top of my head. So there may be some issues with my approach that you will have to work out.
Good Luck!

Logical question, it's not enought to know LabVIEW, it's necessary intelligence...

Suppose that you have a while loop that generate random numbers between 0 and 9. Have you INTELLIGENT way to build an array in which you save data, but with FIFO LOGICAL: first in, first out. For example you generate this sequence:
1 3 9 2 8 4 8 2 9 1 2 0 1 2 3 2 0
SUPPOSE that array, that save data, is of 5 elements:
0 0 0 0 0
2 0 0 0 0
3 2 0 0 0
1 2 3 2 0
0 1 2 3 2
2 0 1 2 3
etc. etc. When the loop finish? The loop must finish when arrive, for example the number 9, and when there is this situation it's necessary save FIFO array in EXCEL file: when it's generated 9 the loop must finisch and there is necessary to save data. If you have INTELLIGENT SOLUTION post VI for LW8.

Michelle,
I'm am simply trying to offer some advice. I, as most people here have a limited amount of time to volunteer here to help people. In almost everythread you have startedyou ask people to post their code solving the problem you are asking about. I have yet to see a single piece of code, or even a screen shot of any code that you have written. It is clear that English is not your primary language and it may be difficult to clearly express what you are trying to ask. Regardless, samples of what you have tried will go a long way to show that you are indeed putting effort into these problems and not simply asking for someone to do the work for you. Your original question in this post is not very clear about what you are even trying to accomplish. Therefore it is very difficult to even begin to offer any suggestions. All I am trying to say is that you will get more help when you show that you are trying different things and need some assistance with a particular issue. If you are posting this as a thought problem and challenge to see what types of solutions are possible than say that. I got the impression that you are trying to implement this problem and seeking someone to post the solution for you. If this is incorrect then I apologize.

Emagic Logic Control firmware install file Logic 8 pro

Can anyone help by telling me how to install the firmware on my old Logic Control. I have tried to run the Mackie midi update and now the Logic Control will not boot, I thing the firmware has been damaged. Emagic used to send a .mid file does anyone have it? I was burgled and all my software discs were taken. Please help if you can.

its not showing in my audio midi set up - but never has previously...but the device it connects via does show up - From what was said in the quick start guide, you only have to add it as a control surface within logic...Where logic already has the relevant driver; waiting to be selected from a list...As for updating anything; I havn't touched a thing. It was literally a case of one day, everything worked; the next day it didn't - mackie said logic had made a corrupt preference file (user/whatever your user nameis/library/preferences/logic) that their would be a file named should be something like
(Com.apple.logic.pro.CS) which there was, and to drag the file to the trash then restart the
computer...This did work to an extent; the 'v-pot' part of the control which had stopped working came back to life and everything now works fine...accept the jog/timeline issue...
I have added it in Audio Midi set up...in the hope that it will help - What properties should I set it to have? anything special - Appologies for seeming dense, I just make music; normally things just seem to have worked! And my technical knowledge is somewhat lacking im affraid.
Thanks for your help - it really is appriciated

Some Basic Logic Questions

I used to use Cakewalk Sonar and I knew it really well. I just got my mac pro and logic 7.2 and I'm having trouble making sense of everything, including the manuals. Can anyone suggest some tips for me on the following simple items. I really thought they would be much more intuitive.
1. Recording Audio with my Motu 896HD.
2. Recording Midi with my M-Audio key Station
3. Can I bus to a master fader? I don't see one in the mix board.
4. I really need a good compressor. Can I rely on the Logic one or should I upgrade?
5. rewiring Reason
6. Can I build custom drum loops like I currently do in Reason?
I just spent 3 hours tooling around and I'm a bit burnt out. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it but it's just overwhelming. I can't get used to the terms and the screens, etc.
Your suggestions are appreciated.

Yes Logic is extremely overwhelming at first, it was for me anyway. I have had it for a little over a year now and there is still a lot that I don't know, but I think I can answer the majority of your questions.
I am not familiar with the MOTU 896HD, but I use a MOTU Traveler, so hopefully it is somewhat similar. It should be for the most part plug and play, so Logic should recognize it. When it comes to recording audio, open the mixer, and click tracks to view the audio channels. I've never used Sonar, but I'm guessing most things in this area are similar. First where a channel says something like "Input 1" you can click there and change the input source (this is the input on your MOTU), and then of course you engage for recording which I'm sure you know of this function.
Recording midi with your m-audio is extremely self explanatory also, go to your mixer and select instruments, then load some type of soft synth in as an insert, then go to your arrange window (the main window that comes up as standard) and click the tiny little engage button next to that particular channel. If your m-audio is connected, it should automatically work just like that.
Yes everything is in a master fader, if you click Outputs in the mixer, it should show your outputs, if nothing is there, then there is no output in the arrange, not to worry, click the Global button in the mixer window and then click to view the outputs, and there you go! There should be a fader for Outputs1-2, if you double click this, it will add it to your arrange window so you can automate and do stuff like that if you would like to.
A lot of people rag on the Logic Compressor, but it does the job for me. If you search around these forums, there is a post about the Logic Compressor and EQs comparing them to other 3rd party productions.
As for rewiring Reason, I have no experience with this whatsoever.
Yes you can build custom drum loops, you can insert Ultrabeat into an instrument channel and use that. It is a extremely simplistic program if you need it to be, but it also allows you to change many parameters of the samples. It comes with tons of preset drum kits and banks, and of course you can use your own.

Emagic Logic 6 Platinum to Logic Pro

Hi everyone,
I'm looking to finally upgrade from Logic 6 Platinum (ca. 2004 just before Logic was bought by Apple) to the latest Logic Pro (Studio). This will coincide with upgrading my OS. Has anyone recently upgraded from this version or can anyone suggest which path to take? I'm hoping (and assuming) that I wouldn't need to purchase Logic all over again.
Any suggestions are absolutely appreciated.
Nicky

You can upgrade (199) from LP6; you'll need your XSkey though.

Basic Logic questions

I'm new to Logic Express and having a hard time.
Where do I go to set up the instrument I want to use to play on the keyboard?
Also.. I have an external JV 1080 synth and I would like to use some of these sounds. Again, I can't figure out how to do this.
Any help will be appreciated.

Custom calculation Script logic question

I am trying to create the following logic in my form however cannot get it to work, help!
I have two fields: LocNumber and LocAddress.   If LocNumber=NY001, I want LocAddress to populate with "Times Square", if LocNumber=NY003, LocAddress should populate with "Wall Street Plaza", if LocNumber=NY005, LocAddress should populate with "Third Avenue", and so on and so on. My javascript below results in the field populating with Times Square only.
var n = this.getField("LocNumber").value;
if (n = "NY001") {
    event.value = "Three Times Square, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10036";
else if (n = "NY003") {
    event.value = "Wall Street Plaza, 88 Pine Street, 32nd Floor, New York, NY 10005";
else if (n = "NY005") {
    event.value = "750 Third Avenue, 27th Floor, New York, NY 10017";
else if (n = "NY006") {
    event.value = "156 West 56th Street, 19th Floor, New York, NY 10019";
else if (n = "NY007") {
    event.value = "111 Great Neck Road, Suite 416, Great Neck, NY 10021";
else if (n = "NY008") {
    event.value = "909 Third Avenue, 20th Floor, New York, NY 10022";

The comparison operator of JS is "==", not "=", which is used to assign a value.
So this code:
if (n = "NY001")
Should be:
if (n == "NY001")

LOGIC QUESTION - Posting to an alternate account based on parent value

Hi
I need to calculate the value of an aggregate account and then if the value of that aggregate account is negative, post all of its base level accounts (whose values might be DR and CR values) to an alternate account stored as a property in the account dimension.
I started with the logic below with PKBS11002 being the aggregate account.
*MEMBERSET(%AccountsList%,"Descendants([Account].[PKBS110022],999,LEAVES)")
*XDIM_Memberset ACCOUNT = %AccountList%
*CALC_DUMMY_ORG ACCOUNT = Parenth1
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS #PKBS110022
*WHEN %VALUE%
*IS <0
//In this section i need to determine all the base accounts for PKBS110022 and then post their values to the alternate account.
*ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
Regards,
Byron

I tried removing the line
*XDIM_Memberset ACCOUNT = %AccountList%
but no luck
The two processes that I go through are as follows:
Unsuccessful process
Step 1: Import data
Step 2: Run logic as above
Result: No records posted
Successful process
Step 1: Import data
Step 2: Delete records that are not a parent of PKBS110022
Step 3: Run optimize to ensure update of OLAP
Step 2: Run logic as above
Result: Records posted correctly
What i did notice is that in the Unsuccessful Log contains "failed test:GET(ACCOUNT="#PKBS110022")<0 : 0<0"

A logical question about why we update firmware

just being real here
we all like the latest and greatest products, especially mobiles, and we all know they have their share of isues. but yet still we buy even though the device we owned previously worked fine or almost something like 90%.
the question is why do we buy these devices, then depend on firmware updates that sometimes improves speed, or maybe add a couple apps, but doesn't solve the bugs. why do we even bother to update. do we have to. if our phone is working ok, why go through the update process, lose all our installed apps, and then start encountering problems we never had before.
it is just a strange price we pay for technology. remember before firmware updates were available, our phones worked great. no worrying about wi-fi connection problems, or camera bugs, or widgets not loading, or phone constantly crashing and rebooting on its own. why can't we get a phone that works 100%, especially when we shell out up to $600us or sometimes more.
when i new update is released i am hesitant to go through it, but in the end still do. sad but true. so the question is, WHY?
Message Edited by coopere on 06-Jul-2009 05:13 PM
everything happens for a reason
check out my blog @ http://mycellife.blogspot.com/

Good question ;-)
That question is more philosophical than mobile-related I think. That´s how people work and that´s how our market system works. People always want to have the newest gadgets, the latest technologies etc. Sometimes they´re better, sometimes not, but whether a product succeeds in the marketplace is not always about quality.
Demand creates offerings. If there wasn´t any demand for newer mobiles, there wouldn´t be any.
