EW and VSL with Logic 64 bit

Hey guys,
any news yet on using EW play edition and VSL Ensemble pro with Logic 64?
so far I haven't seen any problems, but I haven't given it a full run yet, what about you guys?
cheers
David

You say this is from a flash memory camcorder? Can you be more specific?
Webbie camcorders, like the Flip, may shoot in hi-def, but they also record to a non-standard codec that can cause some of the problems you're describing.

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

Not able to install Logic on mac with OSX. 10.8.2. Error message: Logic Studio.mpkg cannot be opened as the power pc programs are no longer supported. I have logic studio 8 software purchased in 2007 and upgraded with logic studio 9 (purchased in 2009)

After an earlier attempt to move Logic from my other mac (OSX 10.6.8) with the migration assistant to my new mac with OSX 10.8.2. I've re-started the whole start up process by erasing the hard drive from the new machine and build it up from scratch. After a new "out of the box" start, I decided to install LOGIC from my disks : starting with my 2007 package Logic Studio 8 and upgrading with my Logic 9 package from 2009. When trying to start to install 2008 I got the error message : Logic Studio.mpkg cannot be opened as the power pc programs are no longer supported.
What does this mean? HOw do I get this working under 10.8.2 as it works flawlessly under OSX 10.6.8. For sure I didn't buy a new machine to have OSX 10.8.2 but I suspect this is the roadblock to installing my logic package.
Help!

Mark,
Sorry...
I completely lost the thread (I actually got confused between you and another poster on a another forum that was asking the same basic question) and somehow ended up thinking you were trying to install on a PPC Mac
My apologies and please ingnore those parts of my last post relating to the PPC Macs...
You have an Intel Mac and therefore Logic Studio 2 Boxed Upgrade set should install/run on your Mac without issue. As I said earlier.. you do not need to try and install from the original Logic Studio 1 /Logic 8 Boxed set...(It won't work anyhow because you have an Intel Mac and that version had a PPC installer) but just install from the Logic Studio 2 / Logic Pro 9 Upgrade Boxed setof DVDs instead...
Have you tried the "Make Disk Image" solution I gave earlier? That normnally works under such circumstances as what you are describing can happen when your DVD drive cannot read the DVDs correctly... I have had this situation myself where one drive read them okay and another failed to do so for whatever reason. Making and then installing from Disk images of those exact same disks resolved the issue for me...
You can try to reinstall directly from the DVDs of course though under some circumstances it may not allow you to reinstall Logic Pro itself if that part of the original installation attempt was successful... in which case you can also try this... (It's probably the easiest method if Logic 9 was already installed and present in your Apps Folder)
If the Logic Pro App is in your applications folder..
Run Software Updates to update Logic Pro to a version that will run under 10.8.2 (The initially installed version of Logic will not)
Run Logic
Go to the menu bar in Logic and select Logic Pro/Install Additional Content and select all content in there..
This content is basically exactly the same as what is stored on the remaining DVDs of the boxed set so you might not need to use the rest of the DVDs to install from but download it all instead from Apple Servers...

PE 4 crashes on render, export and preview with Vista 64 bit

I just installed my PE 4 on a new Windows Vista 64 bit machine with the i7 920 processor and 512 MB ATI Radeon video card. PE 4 worked fine on my XP machine but I cannot get it to render, export or even let me preview on this new maching. I have followed the advise of updating all drivers and software and uninstall and reinstalling with nothing running and I get the same error repeatedly - it will render and progress for about 5 seconds and then I get "Adobe Premiere Elements.exe has stopped working" and it closes. The video clips are from a flash memory camera and the Presets set for widescreen - flash memory. Everything works normally until I try to view or render the files. Any suggestions?

You say this is from a flash memory camcorder? Can you be more specific?

Pops and clicks with Logic

First off i am relatively new with Logic Pro and i believe that this may be a set up issue of my own fault and not a problem with logic. Also i am running on a brand new Mac Pro with 2 gig ram, the 2.6 processor, and 2 harddrives, a 250 gb for OS, Logic, itunes music, and "my stuff", and 500 gb for audio only. I am running on a brand new PreSonus Firestudio as well. Anyway when i record i get pops and clicks that sound like small explosions in my monitors. I have switched every cable that could possibly be switched and ruled that out. Also i have posted a similar message on presonus.com to see if it is firestudio related, but just incase anyone here has heard of problems like this let me know. I think it might be buffer size related or something like that. Like i said I am relatively new and any help would be great.
PS sometimes it pops when im not recording ex: listening to itunes.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

When running logic it's recommended to shut off things like your airport connection (if you have one), and shut down all other apps. You want to provide as much bandwidth for system audio as possible.
I even go so far as to disable spotlight indexing (check out spotless if you want an easy way to do it) to make sure as little unwanted disk activity is occuring as possible. Dashboard widgets can also be a pain. Disable dashboard too while you're at it.
I have a similar setup, mind you with a different audio interface, and I can run the system reliably down to the lowest buffer size of 32 samples.
That being said, there are a few other questions you will want to ask yourself. Are the clicks and pops in the recorded audio? And are they consistently at the exact same places in the file on playback? Check them individually in the sample editor. Because then you may very well have a different problem altogether.
Also don't hesitate to see what kind of information PreSonus can give you. If the item is brand new then don't hesitate to call on them for help, all other things being equal.
When you use virtual instruments, do the same pops an clicks appear?
Did you use the latest drivers? Are you fully up to date with all your updates, including the Universal Binary update for logic? (I know it probably sounds repetitive but it's worth a shot right?)
I could go on and on but fish around and see what you can find. Then come back. Someone will be here.

Connecting Interface and recoding with Logic Express 9

Hi apologies if I've posted this in the wrong location. I need some help.
I have just bought an iMac (with Logic express 9) along with a focusrite saffire pro 14 sound interface.
i'm having difficulties getting a line in and out of the focusrite and into logic.
I currently have passive monitors plugged into an amp, which is then plugged into the headphone jack on the iMac, the focusrite is connected via firewire.
my mic is connected via xlr with phantom power into the focusrite, and my guitar (via an effect unit with built in pre-amp) is connected into the 1/4'' input. both signals are showing levels on the focusrite mixer software - but no sound. the only output from the sound interface is the firewire.
I can record, and play back in logic using my usb midi controller- USB direct into the iMac.
i've selected the focusrite as the driver in logic, also as the input device in system preferences on the iMac.
any ideas when I am doing wrong?
any help would be good
thanks
Chris

Hi,
there are some points where the big bear trap might have snapped onto your feet
First: You said you have selected the focusrite as the core audio input device in Logic. This is okay. But have you selected the correct inputs for the audio tracks you are recording to? You focusrite has 4 possible line inputs (1 and 2 are combined on the front in the middle of the XLR jacks, which are also inputs 1 and 2 for mics, and 3 and 4 are on the back).
When you connect a headphone to your focusrite, can you hear your mic or your guitar? (turn up the monitor volume as well as the headphones volume!)
Given you really have a good signal that goes into your focusrite, the same signal should be available in Logic *for the appropriate inputs* . It won't work if you have plugged your guitar into input 3 and have input 1 or 2 selected in the channelstrip's input selector tab.
Second: Given there's a signal coming into Logic, where does it go from there? The focusrite has 4 outputs, and you should connect your amp&speakers to them. If your amp&speakers are still connected to your iMac's headphone jack, you must select your Mac's "built in output" as the output device in Logic. The OS X preference pane has nothing to do with Logic's preferences. Don't confuse them.
Cheers,
Fox

MIDI recording and editing with Logic Express 8

Hello, I am a beginner. In the literature it is stated that I should "make sure that the latest DRIVER version is installed. I suppose that means the driver from the MIDI system manufacturer which in my case is LIMEX, Vienna, Austria. The MIDI system product name is MidiPro 3, not well known in the US.
Limex does not make/offer a driver. In the audio Midi setup window I was able to install this system and it took it. I can perform single track Midi recordings but when I select three tracks for simultaneous multi-track recording using three different instruments, the recording plays back with one and the same instrument on all tracks.
What am I doing wrong?
Could this have something to do with the fact that I don't have a DRIVER from my MIDI instrument supplier, Limex?
Someone told me that since I can get Logic to recognize Limex and can record single MIDI tracks it means that I probably don't need a driver and that I am doing something wrong with the set-up.
PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
please clarify what you want to do. If you record midi data, this has absolutely nothing do to with the sound. Midi is data only, no sound. So, if you have three tracks containing the same midi data, it depends on the instrument (real or software instrument) you are triggering with this data what sound you'll get.
Example: You record to three tracks at once. Now all three tracks have the same midi data.
Now you set one track to the ES1 Synth, the other to a EXS24 sampler and the third to whatever.
Now all three tracks play back the same notes (midi data), but with different sounds (instruments).
If you trigger an external instrument (is the LIMEX an Instrument or just a midi keyboard?), the midi data has to be set to the correct midi channel and maybe you need a program change event to tell the external instrument which sound bank to use. You can create this Event in the Event List.

MB vs MBPRO ? and MB with logic pro

hey
just wondering if there are any major differences between mb and mb pro other than the obvious (screen size etc ) also someone on a forum said they cant use theirs with final cut pro. i need to be able to use logic pro on my new mb. i do find it hard to believe apple would not let logic pro run. anyway.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

I had my drive done on my MBP. I bought it off a reputable etailer, zipzoomfly (http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=101520) and took it to a authorized mac service center (microcenter) and they did the install for $50. I did the reinstall of OS X. I eBayed my old drive and got $90 for it, so all in all I saved $50 over buying it directly from apple.
In your case however, there's no option from apple so this is the only route. Also the MacBook seems to make it fairly easy to replace the drive versus the need to totally take apart the macbook pro. So you could do it yourself since it seems as easy as removing the battery and a couple of screws.
If you're wondering why I chose the drive I did it's because that seems to be the drive apple uses when people purchase the 100GB 7200 RPM upgrade, so I wanted it to be as compatiable as possible.

Random distortion and latency with logic pro and 2 presonus firepods

Hello,
I was wondering if any one else has had this trouble, about a month and a half ago I bought another Presonus Firepod interface and I also installed Tiger On my mac. Now I get random distortion and have to restart logic and turn the firepods off then turn them on again then restart logic, sometimes I have to do this a couple of times before the distortion goes away. I noticed a lot of times when I use midi (many notes at a time) I hear crakle too. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. please let me know if you have any pointers. I'm not sure if it is my computer, the software, or the interface.
Thank oyu for your time
Mike

I hate to be a cynic, but I've been having problems with my (bought in october)
Firebox and I would suggest talking with Presonus. I bought a new one which
exhibited the same issues and spent a month trying to figure out what I was
doing wrong. Well, it wasn't me, but the Firebox. It had a chip and a board replaced. Presonus was pretty lousy at accepting responsibility and slow
at a returning a box. If you went through a dealer see if you can exchange it
for a new one. I wish I had. I'm waiting for an exchange, btw, for this
fixed box because it leaks audio out bypassed outputs. Don't be afraid to insist that you get a working box if you deal with Presonus. The box is great, the support, for me, has been awful.
Good Luck!

Installation sequence using PS7 and PS7 with SRA

Our implementation architecture has three network zones i.e., Internet zone, SSN and data zone. We have two solaris machines. Each machine has one global and three local zones. Every machine zone has a iDM product installation. We did installation in following sequence
1. DS on M1Z1
2. AM on M1Z2
3. IM on M1Z3
Everything works here as expected.
We have received PS7 and PS7 with SRA support bits from Sun.
Can you please let us know which bits to use to complete following installation
4. PS on M2Z1
5. SRAG on M2Z2
6. rewrite on M2Z3
Do you have any documentation on installation of SRAG and rewrite on different machine and these machines does not have portal server installation.

Portal server also requires DS and AM. So, I assume that you are going to point to the instances on M1 when you install portal.
You also will need to install DS on the SRA machine. This directory is only needed during installation. Once things are up and running, then you can disable it.
Start by installing Portal and make sure you install the SRA Core package. You must select this when you install portal the first time because the installer will not let you add it later. This is a known bug.
Then, install the SRA Gateway component following these directions:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3027/6n59bv1ne#hic
These instructions are not entirely correct. Specifically, install everything in "Configure Now" mode.
I don't know about installing Rewriter Proxy on a separate machine. I have not done this yet. Although it is a supported configuration.
HTH,
Jim

Hi Amit
We also have this issue with weblogic webservices. Did you get any resolution for this issue.
When the service is executed for lesser number of hits, all the responses are processed properly. But as load (Number of hits for the same service) increases, few responses are failed to be parsed in the web service client. We could confirm that the producer responds with proper content type (text/xml)
Any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Setting Up a New Studio with Logic Pro 9

Hi Experts,
I need your suggestion and help in setting up my Home Studio. I have the below hardware and would like to seek the suggestion of the experts in the forum to set this up.
iMac 27 with 8GB DRAM & 1TB HDD - Corei5 2.8GHz
Yamaha Motif XS8
Korg Triton LE
Roland Fantom G6
Roland SP 20 Drum Pad
Akai MPD 32 Drum Machine
Logic Pro 9.1.4
Reason 4
Record 1.5
Garritan Personal Symphony Orchestra
Komplete 7
East West Quantum Leap
Focusrite Saffire Pro 40
Roland Monitor Speakers
I would like to use one of the Workstation (Yamaha Motif XS) as a Master Keyboard and use with Logic as the Master Sequencer. I would also like to use the Roland Fantom G6 and Korg Triton LE as MIDI and Audio Sources. Audio is not a problem as all of these are going straight into the Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. Now I have connected the Yamaha Motif XS 8 MIDI IN & OUT to Focusrite however I would like to complete the Architecture where in I can choose any Instrument from Logic / Reason / Yamaha / Motif / Korg and use the Logic as the Master Sequencer and use the Yamaha Motif to play these parts from the different sources.
I would also like to know if I can use the Akai MPD 32 Drum Machine as a complete MIDI Controller.
Any inputs are highly appreciated.
Regards,
CCIESRI

Problems with LP9 and VSL

I've been having some problems with Vienna Symphonic Library (Special Edition) and LP9. I'm trying to create an orchestral template using some of the settings from the Special Edition Demo provided on the VSL site. About half the time I've tried to import the tracks (using the media browser) Logic has stalled/crashed. I have been able to get all the files imported, but now I have two more problems. Logic has crashed most of the times I've tried to reopen this template. Also, when I am able to open the file I'm getting a huge spike in the meter for one of my cores while using the VSL instruments. Playing notes with any of the instruments selected causes a noticeable spike, but each time I select a new instrument and play it adds to the spike, such that after playing notes in several instruments the meter is maxed out (as shown in pic). Pressing play and then stop temporarily corrects the spike, but it returns over an over.
I know that having a software instrument selected is more strenuous on the system, but it shouldn't cause a cumulative build-up as I have described, right? My system specs are as in my signature, and both the activity monitor and VSLs instrument plugins show that I have 2GB+ RAM available. My buffer is set to 256. This may not be a VSL specific issue, as I have seen unusually high spikes using other sampler instruments, but not to the same extent. The spike always appears in the last core.
Any thoughts/trouble shooting tips? Thanks.

I'm still wondering why it happens now at this moment in time...
PC does seem to be a bit odd & inconsistent, the few times I've tested with it, at least so far as we content filtering goes; and if I remember rightly, you're not the first to report previously ok settings suddenly preventing some or all internet until pc is switched off altogether.
It may work when re-enabled

Problem with Logic Pro and Soft eLicenser on Mountain Lion?

Hi!
I have a bunch of Arturia synths, which requires the Soft eLicenser to work. This has always worked great with Lion, never any problems with eLicenser (never had to open it etc.)
Now - I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and tested my synths to make sure everything was OK, experienced a bunch of problems, and did a full recovery to clean Mountain Lion.
After installing the Arturia synths, and adding my licenses, I installed Logic. Everything worked fine!
BUT!
When I closed an Arturia synth within Logic, or closed Logic after running a project with one of these synths, I couldn't reopen any of these synths within Logic afterwards - In fact, I couldn't open the stand-alones either! And when I tried to open the eLicenser Control Center, it would just say "Reading eLicensers" forever. After a reboot, everything is OK.
I can open and close eLicenser Control Center and standalone synths as many times as I want, as long as I don't open Logic, and then Arturia synths as an AU in Logic.
I found a workaround: Open the eLicenser Control Center, and let in run in the background (cmd+H), and then open Logic. Then I could open Arturia synths and close them, close Logic and reopen etc. without any problems at all. NO PROBLEMS.
Until I close the eLicenser Control Center, then I have to reboot to be able to start it again.
I hope you understand what I mean here. It's a bit hard to explain.
In short terms: Logic makes Soft eLicenser crash when a eLicenser synth has been opened as an AU.
The same problem is when scanning the AU with AU manager. eLicenser window should be open before scanning.
Does ANYBODY have the same problems? Can anyone who has these applications test it out?

So it definitely seems to be a issue with Logic.
I can't force this error in 10.7.X no matter how hard I try, but in 10.8.2 it's definitely Logic messing things up.
Could it be auvaltool which has a bug? Or is that only run with AU manager on validation?
Hopefully this discussion can get some attention, and maybe it could be corrected. I guess a lot of Logic Pro users also has eLicenser Control Center for validation of their products.

Can 32-bit plugins remain in plugin folder and not crash Logic?

Pre-sales question:
1) If you have any 32-bit plugins in the plugin folder, can they just be disabled in the Logic X AU manager, or do they crash Logic X upon launch? The reason I ask is because I wanted to keep some in the folder for when I use another DAW that doesn't have a problem with them.
Question on Logic 9:
2) If I am in Mountain Lion, and wanted to run Logic 9 at times, plus Logic X, does Logic 9 have to be set to run at 32-bit so that it could still use the 32-bit plugins?
3) If Logic 9 is running in 64-bit mode, can it access the 32-bit plugins in Mountain Lion?
I know the only thing will be that I can't open a Logic X session back in Logic 9, but I might want to bounce a quick part back in Logic 9 that uses a 32-bit plugin.
Thanks.

hi
1. Yes you can leave your 32bit plugins in Component folder. Logic X just ignore them.They don't crash LPX
2. Logic 9 can run with Logic X installed. It doesn't matter if you run LP9 in 32 or 64bit mode.LP 9 will work
as before.
3. Yes Logic 32bit mode can access 32bit plugins through the bridgre as before
