Euphonix MC MIX and Logic 9.0.x = no tracks volume values display

Hi,
Did anybody noticed that, since introduction of Logic 9.0.1 update, the track volume values aren't showed in the MC MIX display anymore? Euphonix support says that they are aware of the problem and are working close to Apple to resolve the issue, but that a fix would demand a new update from Apple.
Does anyone have some info from Apple side? Any light on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
see ya

Got this from the Avid Support group: Go to Library/application support/Euphonix/Usersets/MC2User/MC_USER_SET_Root/ and make a copy of the Logic Pro.xml file. Then paste it back into the same folder but rename it Logic Pro X.xml. That should then open your old button settings for your MC Control. This worked for me and one other, so I hope it will work for everyone. There may be some different commands that will have to be changed in the button settings for LPX but I haven 't had a chance to check all of that out yet. I'm just happy this worked, I didn't like the idea of inputting all of the button settings from the start!

USB mixer and Logic Studios

I am curious how Logic Studios would see a USB mixer. Does it see the entire mixer as one input or each channel on the mixer separately. For example, if I used a regular mixer and hooked it into the microphone jack, everything coming from that mixer would be one single signal. Does a USB mixer work the same way, or does the software see each channel separately. For example, could I put an effect on only one channel without effecting the others? I am slowly piecing together a little mini recording studio and this would help me determine whether it is worth the extra money to get a USB mixer. Does a USB mixer off any other benefits over a regular mixer?

Hi,
Which mixer are looking to use?
Have you read that mixers' manual yet?
That more than anything in this forum, will answer your question.
Cheers

Euphonix MC Mix with Logic Pro 7 (not 8)

Has anyone picked up this:
http://www.euphonix.com/artist/products/mc_mix/
And had it connected up to Logic Pro 7? (not Logic Pro 8, I upgraded but stayed with 7)
The Euphonix can use the HUI protocol, so it should function, and I'm very close to buying this - I was just wondering how the user experience felt (especially with regard Inserts etc). Good or bad purchase? I cannot demo the unit; no importer in Hong Kong.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Sup All,
I tried one of the MC Mix units that my friend picked up although we couldn't successfully used both units at the same time due to a Ethernet jack issue that i determined later by connecting one unit at a time.
Setup and Config were a breeze. I used it intensively in Logic Pro. I like all the functions for it works almost as if it were a Mackie Controller. But, one thing that could make it a deal breaker for now is that it is very sluggish in response waiting for logic to send the proper Data to the unit or vice-versa.
Even when the MC Mix was not plug to my system everything was still slow; so it is safe to assume it's a Eucon Software issue. Once I did uninstall Logic worked flawless.
With that unit you can do literally anything a Mix Controller does. So, optimistic thoughts say they, meaning Euphonix will workout the issues within weeks.( Unofficially )
PROs
Mixer felt great.
Look Great.
Can be used while you are connected to the internet.
Usage is excellent
Easy IP Config. Dynamic or static.
Instantiating Inserts, Software Instruments is excellent
Everything as the demo shows. http://www.euphonix.com/artist/products/mc_mix/video.php
The Riser is cool
A New Software installer replaces the Cd that comes with the units
CONS
Sluggish
The OLED Displays don't show Values until you touch the knobs or faders.
WISHES
Meter Bridge or Better Meters
Counter or Measure Displays
And lastly... Don't know if it's Gigabit or Megabit Ethernet Connection.
I connected it directly to my Computer as well as through two Ethernet Hub; Same Results every time.
( Minus the Internet of course at some points )

Euphonix MC Mix and MC Control vs Mackie Control Universal Pro

Whats up.
I read the Euphonix artist series controllers working as specified with logic Pro 8, has that been fixed ?
Comparing the Euphonix MC series to the Mackie Control USB, which is a better controller and a better purchase ? And which works best with Logic Pro 8 ?
Cheers

Just saw this over at Gearslutz:
We are pleased to announce the release of EuControl 1.2.2
What's New
MOTU Digital Performer 6 (v6.01 or later) now directly supports EuCon, giving you added in-depth control of DP from MC Control and MC Mix. You no longer need to configure DP to use Mackie Control. Detailed setup instructions are found in the EuCon Application Setup Guide (PDF), included with this installer.
EuControl now remembers which surfaces are in the My Surfaces list. This helps in facilities where other EuControl users are on your same network, as only surfaces that belong to you are added when EuControl starts. If this applies to you, go to the Surfaces tab and change the new Automatically add: pop-up button to My Surfaces only.
The default setting is All Surfaces, which is used when you are the only person running EuControl in your home or studio. It provides a no hassle, plug and play experience, automatically adding your surface(s) so you never have to manually edit the My Surfaces list.
MC Control users can speedily scroll through Pro Tools tracks using the jog wheel. When controlling Pro Tools, go to the Soft Key tab and assign the EuCon command Left Edit > Nudge to a soft key. Toggle this soft key on. Turn to jog wheel to nudge forward and backward through all tracks.
Bug Fixes
Improvements in knob sensitivity when controlling certain Pro Tools plug-ins. If using Waves plug-ins with Pro Tools, be sure to select the HUI control surfaces support (low res) checkbox in the Waves Preferences dialog box that comes up when launching Pro Tools. You can hold the shift key during Pro Tools launch to show this dialog.
In the Insert Special pop-up button found in the the Soft Key Command Editor's Add... Key command, the \, Keypad Enter, Return, and Spacebar keys now work correctly.
General stability fixes.

Static between Apogee One and Logic 9...When track is armed but not recordi

The static only happens when i sing into the mic or strum the guitar. It begins to happen when i have input monitoring enabled or the track armed (R). It slowly creeps up after a few minutes of NOT recording and just having the track armed. I can make multiple passes at recording and it will eventually go away or...i have to quit logic and apogee and restart but if i leave the track armed and not record continuously its back! Its like a terrible crackle and its as loud as the instrument im trying to record.

I dont have an FTP at this time and i tried uploading to steven slate drums but havnt been on there for a while and wasnt able to ...Too bad apples forum doesnt allow mp3s or wavs

Is Anyone Having Trouble with the latest Liquid Mix driver and Logic 8?

I'm having a host of problems with my Liquid Mix and Logic (also Digital Performer too.. but that's another forum :0) ). I experience a great deal of latency and flanging when using two instances of it on a channel. How is it for everyone else?

First, contact Focusrite and make them aware of your LM/Logic problems. I'm communicating with a rep who said he wasn't aware of any issues with LM and Logic.
Next, I speculate the latest driver of the Version 2 software can't live up to it's claims of variable latency. When I follow the minimum latency of 1032 for the LM manager (as posted on their support site), LM and Logic behave well. The problem for me is I never use 512 in Logic.

Using Logic 9 with mixer and audio line in on Mac Book Pro.

Hello, I Just began studio recording, and am making the switch from garage band to logic 9.
I do not know how to make my instruments play through logic 9 using a mixer and a Line In connection to the mac like I could with garage band.
Please scroll down to the bold underline text for tl;dr
I am self taught, and never thought I would love working with sound, and I spent over a year touring the US doing live sound for concerts and am now helping out with live studio recordings, and projects on my own.
It started as something to do to fight boredom and to help, basically making sure nobody touched the mixer or to unplug it if things caught on fire.
By the end of the year I had been helping "Others" with live sound, and I learned a lot about the features and trims on the analog mixer that are more complex than "mixing the volume of each track" lol.
So please be patient with me. I do not know many of the terms, I just "feel" when something is not right and know where to go to in order to fix it or make it better, I dont have much practice when it comes to the technical side with computers and sound.
so I will try my best to understand your help.
Anyway's, I looked up online, and I cannot figure out how to get logic 9 to playback instruments set up on my mixer.
I currently have Male L/R 1/4inch to 8th Inch cables coming from main into the Line In port on the mac.
I know this setup is called "stereo" (I think?) and Im limited with only two separate tracks to record, so I have my selected tracks panned right and left for two separate inputs on the program.
I know everything works because I had it all setup on garage band, I changed nothing for logic, but all I can find are MIDI tutorials and I am using analog to line in, not MIDI.
Please let me know what I have to do to bring up two separate tracks, and also be able to hear them wile I play before recording.

Kudos to figuring it out yourself.
Yes, Logic is geared to the professional user, you will need to set up the program to your particular way of working, Logic was well developed for professional use long before Apple purchased it, it's not an Apple program per se. It's complex and offers a myriad number of choices so that it can be configured to many styles of working, there's often 3 or 4 ways to perform the same function.
Logic insists the user educate themselves... which is a good thing.
Here ya go!

Mixing and Matering with Logics Audio Effects Plugins

I have a general question for those using Logic Pro to mix and perhaps master music. I've had the software for approximately a year-and-a-half. In that time I've auditioned several high-end, third-party, native AU plugins for EQ and compression (Waves SSL, PSP, Sonalksis, etc.) Certainly they sound great. But in the end, I often find myself getting just as good a sound with Logic's own plugs after a little bit of work. It's not as quick, mind you - and you really do have to play to get to know the plugins well because they're capable of some horrible sounds too. But the good stuff is in there.
I see Logic's EQ's and compressors trashed sometimes in forums and I'm wondering if I'm missing something. Yes, I'm familiar with UAD and the quality/authenticity of their emulations. But at the end of the day, all I need is a great sound - not a particular historic sound, as good as some of those may be.
The one thing I haven't been able to hear is Focusrite's Liquid Mix and I'm tempted to buy one just to hear it, with, of course the option to return it if it's nothing special.
So here's what I want to know - and I am just curious. Are any of you out there mixing in the box with just Logic's plugins and really getting great results? Or perhaps mixing with mostly Logic plugins and a few indispensible others (L1 comes to mind). If so, are you mixing pop/rock, R&B, acoustic - basically, something other than electronic/dance?
Thanks

Are any of you out there mixing in the box with just Logic's plugins and really getting great results? Or perhaps mixing with mostly Logic plugins and a few indispensible others
My 'indispensible others' would be Izotope's Ozone, PSP Vintage Warmer and to a lesser extent TriTone's ColorTone Pro.
But in the end, I often find myself getting just as good a sound with Logic's own plugs after a little bit of work. It's not as quick, mind you - and you really do have to play to get to know the plugins well
I agree completely. I'm often reading here that this plug or that gadget is a must have - actually, learning what's already in the Logic Pro suite is often the solution. The essential ingredient are ears, and the ability to know what sound you're looking for, as opposed to twiddling in the hope that you'll come across a happy accident.
because they're capable of some horrible sounds too
If you want to hear some truly awful sounds, Ozone can destroy a mix in short order

Charles Dye mix tips DVD and Logic Pro?

Has anyone bought Charles Dye's, "Mix it like a Record" DVD? If so, do you think it is stuff that can work in Logic Pro or is it geared to be pushing you to buy Pro Tools and etc.? From the trailer it looks like it teaches some mixing and plugin principles, but I would like to check with my Logic friends to see what they think. How about it guys/gals? Anyone bought it?

Ok, a nice topic which I have some opinions on, so bear with me, and I'll share them...
Firstly, you should read Charles Dye's "Hard Disk Life" articles on his website. I found them really interesting when I first came across them, and it definitely gave me some techniques and things to try out, and things to think about.
MILAR is basically his HDL articles put into practice on a real mix. Much of the info you get in MILAR is already distilled in those HDL articles. It really has two parts - discussions about mixing, the process, the artistic goals and so on. Good valuable stuff to talk about in a general way.
Then the other part is looking at one of his already finished mixes, and breaking it down into drums/bass/guitars/vox/etc and automation. He shows you the dry tracks, then adds in the plugins and demonstrates what he's doing with each plugin on each of the main parts, then goes through his automation techniques and so on.
Personally, when I finally got a chance to see MILAR, although I really enjoyed it (and I respect CD immensely), I was a little bit dissapointed it didn't cover more stuff than his HDL articles already did.
Also, the space limitations on the DVD prevent him from doing the actual mix - the mix is already done, and he just goes through what he did. I'd have been more interested to follow the process while he was doing the mix, his thought processes and decisions, rather than just the results of them - how practical that would be, I don't know.
Having said all that though, CD is a good speaker and teacher, he's passionate and skilled. He is really giving you general advice, and then showing some of the ways in which he approaches mixing, which may not work for everybody, but everyone will take different things and adapt them for their own use.
He definitely has his own mixing style, which may or may not be very different to other people. For example, he tends to mix completely in the box, whereas I am far more happy with some faders underneath my hands, so I can balance things by feel. Different people are comfortable with different processes, whichever is the most natural.
As for the PT/Logic route - if you want to use the sessions and recreate them exactly, then you'll need PT and the plugins (and he uses *a lot* of different expensive plugins). However, doing this misses the point a little - it's not really about copying his plugin settings or using the same plugins - that alone isn't going to make you mix better.
By all means use the material to experiment on, which is really what I think it's meant for, but you won't really learn a lot by blind copying of settings, you need to develop your understanding of what to use, when and why.
It's about seeing the ways he approaches things, and using that to help further you understanding of mixing, and become a better mixer. So in short, yes, the DVD is valuable to non-PT users.
Oh, also check out the four ProjectStudioNetwork podcasts where they interview Charles as well - well worth a listen. He's a cool guy.
I hope that helps...

Yamaha MO8 and Korg Volcas with Logic Pro X- recommendations for mixer and audio interface

I plan to use Logic Pro X to access and configure the patch list for my Yamaha MO8 workstation. The Steinberg software I downloaded previously didn't work and never allowed me to configure the sounds. From what I've heard, I was told to use a cheap mixer or a Audio/MIDI interface (like the Scarlett 2i2 or 4i4). The Yamaha MO8 will be used as a master and has MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU. I also have the Korg Volca synths to use as slaves (they only have the MIDI IN port), and plan to connect them to the MIDI THRU on the keyboard. I already have the Yamaha USB driver installed, and the Mac recognizes the device. I also have the Portmidi app and wonder if that will allow me to see the patch list (with the actual names, not numbers).
What mixer and audio/MIDI interface do you recommend to use the Yamaha MO8 and the Korg Volcas? Just to be clear, I don't want to use software synths, but would like to use the external instruments to get the audio (which I know can be selected through the Environment Panel on Logic Pro X).

Anything with 2 audio inputs and 2 MIDI outs.
-Out HP jack of Volca-1/8 to 1/4 adapter into Audio interface 1 (For any that are stereo use both 1 and 2 and use a Y splitter in addition to 1/8 to 1/4 adapters.
-Midi out from interface to Midi in of volca (Or buy a USB to MIDI interface for about $35)
-When starting up the volcas hold down the "Memory button" the LED will tell you what MIDI channel it is set to, you can change it if you wish)
-Create external MIDI track and set it to the same channel as the Volca (Only if you want to do sequencing in the DAW, if thee Volca sequencer is handling it then not necessary)
-Patch together the Volcas via the "synch out/Synch in" jacks to insure they are synched
-Record them all together or one at a time, depending on how many simultaneous tracks your interface can handle.

Any experience mixing with VRM box and Logic?

I was interested in anyone's experience using Focusrite's VRM box and Logic.

Someone mentioned the BSF2000. I have the same and it is very useful.
In the default BSF mode there is no feedback into the sliders (they don't move with existing automation), however you can send up to 117 CCs, PCs and some other kinds of data on each preset from up to 16 MIDI chanels and Logic picks them all up with no problems.
However, you can start the BCF 2000 in Logic Control mode, (for those who have BCF 2000 and haven't seen this option yet, swith off the BCF 2000, then swith on holding down the 3rd upper button– the one just below the Parameter rotary controller. When you start the display will show LC instead of bC. To return to BCF mode, restart holding the 1st upper button, the one just below the Type rotary control.) install the Logic control driver in Logic and you have feedback into the faders and rotary controls. The downside of the Logic Control mode is that is doesn't have instructions and I've spent days trying to work out what all the presets are.
Remeber too in BCF2000 mode you can not only use the controls to manage automation of ANY midi parameter, but you can also use them to replace keystroke shortcuts. eg I have one button that toggles all tracks between latch and read, another that moves through screen sets another that shows and hides global tracks etc.
Well worth every penny.

Should i use Logic Express for Mixing and Mastering?

recording an LP with GarageBand. are express and pro very close in what they offer ? express good enough for mixing and matering an LP? would like to keeps costs down. thanks SJM

It can be done, but you will need to do a lot of reading and make many mixes to get it down. Mastering is not something you can learn overnight. It'll take you many hours of trial and error just to get something that is OK. A pro mastering engineer has years of experience and thousands of dollars worth of high quality gear. With a lot of practice, you can get something fairly decent, but it won't be like a real pro job would be.
As Hangtime suggested in the GB forum, do a google search and you'll get a lot of sites with articles on the subject of mixing and mastering.

Mainstage 2 & Euphonix MC Mix

Have been using MC Mix with my Logic 8. Upgraded to Logic 9, & would like to know if any knows how to utilize the Euphonix MC Mix as a control surface for MainStage 2.
Running MS2 in 32 bit mode, therefore no issue with Eucon protocol for Logic 9.
I know you can map Midi signals to controls, but with the MC Mix using Eucon protocol possible.
Layout mode recognizes the Euphonix mixer, but will not learn.
Any help ideas or ridicule appreciated

I've decided to "take the plunge" and jump right into Logic 8. The few days I spent mucking with Garage Band really helped as there are some similarities with Logic. With the help of forums like this and Apples' superb printed manuals which accompany Logic 8, the task seems quite "doable" for a relative newcomer to computer based recording. I just got my Euphonix today and I KNOW it works beautifully with Logic. Just for fun I may give it a try with Garage Band and see if indeed it does work. Thanks for the replies guys!

Trouble with mediasource mixer and equali

I have tried to start the mixer and equalizer and get the following messege "unable to change sound device to your selected device." All was working just fine yesterday. Also, I was unable to configure the speaker setup. I had to go to the audio setup and change the speaker setup from desktop to 5.. For some reason it reverted back to desktop.
I have an Audigy 2ZS.

Yes, just checked the Presonus release notes for Universal Control 1.7.2 (the latest), and it has removed support for Snow Leopard (OSX10.6.8), so that may be a possible source of the problem - might be worth contacting Presonus Tech support to confirm.
You could update your OSX, but I'd be a bit careful there - not sure if Mavericks supports Logic 8. If not, I believe there are places where you can still get hold of Mountain Lion (which is supported by UC1.7.2) - a quick net search should do the trick.
Also, I've just re-read your post and notice you ask about the start up order. The Presonus manual says to switch the desk on first, then fire up the computer. This used to work with me, but I've recently updated to a new Macbook Pro and had to start using a firewire to thunderbolt connector, and I found that I could now only get the Studiolive to show up in Logic if I start the computer first, then fire up the desk then open Logic. I raised a tech support ticket with Presonus and they were baffled by this, and couldn't see any reason why it should be, but nonetheless, it's the only way it'll work for me, so probably worth giving it a shot.
