FCP Studio and Logic Pro on same rig?

Can Logic and FCP be used on the same system? I originally bought my rig to use both programs, but I have had HUGE issues with my rig crashing since I bought it. Logic (w/ Video Track) crashed when using 3rd party plug-ins or when just using internal sounds. Tried all sorts of fixes, and had my pro tech-xpert investigate these issues a few times over 3 months. Right now, I have to totally shut down every 20-30 mins. to insure smooth operation of Logic w/o plug-ins, or very minor plug-in use (less than 3 tracks) w/ or w/o Video Track.
I've heard that Logic 7.2 can only use up to 2 GB RAM, and previous to the .2 rev Logic couldn't access my Quad processors. Is this true? The latest solution to these issues is to remove 4GB RAM and just use my rig for Logic. Is this the only solution anyone knows of? (my tech-xpert says my issues all seem to be memory-related)
I hadn't tried to start FCP Studio on my rig at all. In fact, my tech-xpert uninstalled FCP Studio during a 48-hr repair/test. I did have issues w/ DVD Studio Pro crashing my rig when I tried to burn a DVD.
Any and all help/suggestions appreciated in advance.

Do you have the newest driver for the mobile pre?
I sometimes use a Fast Track Pro and it works on 10.8 But sometimes have problems right after selecting it as input.
I like M-Audio gear but if you are having trouble with two of there interfaces now, maybe you should look into another brand.

Using main stage and Logic Pro at same time?

Hi all,
Is it possible to use Mainstage to play sounds and at the same time take the sounds and with a Firewire mixer record the out of mainstage into Logic Pro? I'd like to do this internally without using an additional soundcard.
I could use my FastTrack Pro to control the sounds in Mainstage and then use the Outputs of the FastTrack Pro to feed into the Firewire Mixer and then Record the performance in Logic Pro.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Earl Green

yep ... I do it like that all the time.
Soundflower is your friend for piping audio out of mainstage into an audio track in Logic.
http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/
To capture midi, just create an empty software instrument in logic and leave it record enabled (i.e. uncheck "open library" when creating it, and then just never select a software instrument to go on the track). This will record all the midi messages you send to mainstage.
Granted, that only gets you so far. Playing that midi track in Logic isn't going to make any sound until you assign a software instrument to it, but it can be handy.
A lot of times I'll record jam sessions with my band this way. Usually I'm playing pretty simple patches. 90% of the time it's just the Steinway samples, or NI B42 for organ stuff. If we do something particularly brilliant, but I flubbed the keys, I'll go into logic and manually assign whatever patch I was using in mainstage to it, then edit the midi.
You could, in theory use something like the IAC device to route midi back OUT of Logic, into MainStage (and then capture the audio out of mainstage back into logic with soundflower). Essentially making MainStage into one big software instrument in Logic. I've never tried it, but others on this board have posted about doing this before, and I don't see why it wouldn't work.
I really wish Apple would just setup Mainstage to work this way out of the box. It'd be an incredibly powerful tool.

Can you run Logic Pro 8 and Logic Pro X on the same machine?

Hello all!
Congratulations to us on the release of the new Logic Pro!
I am still running Logic Pro 8 (and was waiting for X to come out since I knew it wasn't too far off) but am concerned over the loss of 32-bit plug-ins with Logic Pro X (the wrapping of my old VST plug-ins alone hurts!). I've heard that installing Logic Pro X doesn't in any way gimp Logic Pro 9's usage, but can someone confirm whether or not Logic Pro X and Logic Pro 8 can operate in harmony on the same Mac?
As a bonus, is there any reason to believe that Apple would disable earlier versions of Logic Pro (such as version 8) from running on Mavericks?
I am planning my Logic Pro and Mac OS migrations! Thanks!!

The installer for Logic Pro 8 has a bug which keeps it from operating in Lion or Mt. Lion. Use the program Pacifist to install it.

Re: Macbook Pro 10.6.8 RAM Upgarde to 8 GB
The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

Logic Pro, Logic Studio and Logic Express

Can someone explain the difference between Logic Pro, Logic Studio and Logic Express?

Hi,
I don't think your friend is right on this. When you install Logic X, only the most essential part will be downloaded. After that you open Logic X, and from within the program you can download all the other content. Logic will look if you already have Logic 9 content on your harddisk, so it won't download files that are already present. So, after all is downloaded, all files are on your harddisk, just like Logic 9. By the way, Logic 9 will still be available after installing Logic X.
Whether you will experience crashes will be very hard to prodect, because these will be caused by unforeseen combinations of your computer, audio interfaces, maybe even other hardware, kernel extensions etcetera. If you wait for a couple of months, updates of Logic X will probably have less crashes. As said, on my computer it's just as solid as Logic 9.
Garittan will probably advise a fast harddisk to prevent complaints when people are pushing the plugin to the edge. I would expect that it's not a black/white story.
The AUMatrixreverb can be found in any audio plugin slot completely at the bottom: Audio Units > Apple > AUMatrixReverb.
About the Epiano: in Logic Express there is only the Garageband Epiano, I think. Logic Pro 9 had a great ePiano that they gave a new name and changed a bit in Logic X. Both very nice.
Yes, you may be right, not too many drums with brushes in Logic X, I think. Or does anybody else know where to look??
Kind regards,
Jaap

FCP Audio and firewire at the same time?

Hi, I was pondering an idea that made me wonder this. I hope it is not a stupid one but I am sure I get an "E" for effort or a "god bless his little heart".
I will be moving my mac to a studio to work on a instructional DVD. I will be capturing from one main camera real time via firewire, I have the option of going out of the console via optical for the instrument tracks and vocal. ( whether I can only have one active audio inputed track or two doesn't matter but would like two).
This audio will be pro quality and I just want to use FCP.
I am only interested in the video without the camera audio.
I want to capture the camera video(firewire) and studio(optical) audio at the same time.
If not it's no big deal I can route audio to the 3.5mm audio mike input on the camera.
I am running FCP studio and have no budget and a chance to play. I am on a barter project. I was just hoping for a time saver and down the road I would be happy to know my limitations as I may move into the studio and "sync" up.
I have another camera that I will add later for my Picture in picture effects.

Hey X thanks for your reply
Well I talked to my friend at the studio. and we are still saving the audio on digital hard drive in case this doesn't work. ( Which I know is the right way). I only asked the question because I apparently am lazy and want to spend as little time trying to sinc up later. My solution was to be fluid. In the end the project would be available for download tutorials/lessons from his web page, which will be a whole other delivery question as I am working through the third party whose project this belongs. Given my information I am trying to cover a lot of possibles to create something better than he is asking ( A Pro Job )
I was hoping to cross from "hobbiest" to "entry pro" here. Most I get to play with are relatives videos and stills. I have two completed two paying jobs in which I have purchased the mac and Final Cut Studio.
This is more of a controlled environment and wanted to utilize as many choices as possible.
The camera I am using (Panasonic PV-DV951-K) doesn't record to tape properly or doesn't replay what was recorded on tape. My solution was to go directly to FCP via firewire as a live realtime capture.
I opted for this as having no choice and in the end. Given the amount of lessons that would have to be captured and the equipment I have conjured up I think it is my best solution.
Again I thank you X and I meant no disrespect as to who is clueless. I am the one asking the questions. I don't always ask questions until I have searched the forum for an answer and appreciate those of you who take the time to answer "patiently".
Also I am an electronic technician and in a pinch devour troubleshooting to the point of magiverism.
When this is all over and I am enjoying a pint and reaping what few dollars this creates, I'd like to buy you all a beer. Then I'll plan the next hairbrain project.

I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder. This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher". I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.

I even pulled the dmg file into the Logic Studio folder in my applications directory and it still does not recognize it. What do I do now?

Niel: Thanks.
For others benefit, here is what happened.
I had installed Logic Studio 9.1 some time ago.......not knowing what all the programs were nor what they did, I created a "Logic Studio" subfolder in my applications folder and put all Logic Studio programs into it so I'd know where they were and could review each at my leisure over time.
My assumption now is that when the updater looks for the Logic Pro program, it looks only in the applications folder. It seems lame that it would not also look in the subfolders of the applications folder, but that apparently IS the way it works. Because my Logic Pro program was located in the "Logic Studio" subfolder, the updater just didn't see it..hence the error message I received when I tried to update.
Solution: I moved all the Logic Studio programs out of the subfolder and now they reside in the applications folder. Ran the 9.1.5 updater and it worked like a charm.

M-Audio Fast Track USB and Logic Pro X

I wanted to share this tip in case anyone else has the same issue I had.
I attempted to use the Fast Track USB audio interface with Logic Pro X. It had worked in every version of Garageband since version 3, as well as older versions of Logic Express and Logic Pro, so I assumed it would work out of the box with Logic Pro X.
With it plugged in correctly, and my guitar connected to it, I added a new audio track to my project - ensuring the Fast Track was set as the input device, and input 2 was selected (input 1 is the XLR input on the device) - and enabled playback monitoring. There was no sound. Additionally, the button to enable recording was not present for the track. The same was true for every new track I added that used the Fast Track as the input device.
I tried everything: in Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio > Devices, I toggled between the built-in input and the Fast Track; I restarted the software; I unplugged and plugged in the Fast Track, and I restarted the system. None of these worked. Then I had an idea.
In the Applications > Utilities folder on my Mac, I opened the Audio MIDI Setup app. This opened the Audio Devices window. I clicked on the plus at the bottom left and chose to Create Aggregate Device. I named this device by double-clicking the name on the left, then on the right I checked Built-in Input and Fast Track, taking note of which inputs belonged to the Fast Track in this new device (for me, inputs 3 and 4).
After restarting Logic Pro X, I chose this new aggregate device as my input device, chose input 4 for recording, and suddenly everything worked correctly.

I contacted Logic Pro X support and they said that they are working on an update. They were very helpful, so no worries guys. They know that there is an issue and they are working on it A.S.A.P. They told me if I needed to continue production to use time machine and go back before the update and restore Logic Pro X (before 10.0.5).
They understand, so give them a break... They are working as fast and hard as they can. I talked with one of the programmers directily. They are probably not getting any sleep over this.

I recently upgraded to a G5 and Logic Pro 8. My previous system was a Power Mac 7200 with Logic Platinum 3.5.3. I can not open the old song files unless they are first saved in Logic 6 or 7. Where do I get a dongle for Logic 7?

eBay or Craigslist would be the only choice.

HT4561 I have an iMac (2.66Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) and recently updated to OSX10.6.8. At first things worked as before, but suddenly a bunch of applications are not working; including videos wont play in any browser, plus Skype and Logic Pro won't work

Recently updated to osx10.6.8. Was fine at first, but now have problems with various applications freezing/hanging.
These include Skype and Logic Pro.
In addition, cannot play videos (including YouTube and BBC) on Firefox (my usual browser), Safari or Chrome.
Application becomes frozen, and I eventually get an 'unresponsive script' message.
With Firefox I have tried clearing the cache. My Flash is upto date.
These are all the apps I use everyday, and this is driving me crazy. Can't seem to find answers on line. Very grateful for any help or advice.

From that we may be able to see more background to your problem. Be assured, it is safe.

Thanks in advance everyone

You understand that MIDI is not audio (sound), it's only a simple set of instructions that describe the MIDI performance. It (MIDI) can be routed to and sound producing keyboard, module , virtual instrument... etc.
In any case, you have it routed back to your keyboard so natually tha sound will come out of the keyboard, it's the keyboard that is producing the audio. If you want the sound to come out of the computer the audio outs of the keyboard have to be routed to the audio inputs of your sound card, an audio track selected, software monitoring enabled and the track record enabled. (that's one way)
You could also create an instrument track, load a virtual instrument and slide the MIDI performance over to the virtual instrument track.

2012 MacBook Air running Photoshop and Logic Pro

Looking to buy a laptop. The most I do with my current iMac is record music using logic pro, edit video in iMovie and edit photos in photoshop.
I'm planning on travelling for a decent length of time and would like to continue to do this on a laptop.
The weight and SSD of the macbook air are really appealing to me. I'm wondering if it will be able to perform the above tasks? I read some reviews of people using photoshop on a 2011 macbook air with no issues, and from what I understand, the cheapest 2012 macbook air 13' is faster then the ultimate macbook air of 2011?
So I'm considering purchasing a 2012 MacBook air 13' with the 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 and upgrading the RAM from 4gb to 8gb.
Will this be able to meet my needs? I say I will be editing photos and recording music with it, but I'm still really amateur and I'm sure my needs are also.

Thanks for the reply DWB,
USB should be fine as far as I can see. Is there a firewire adaptor just in case?
I was planning on keeping an external drive, and if I wanted to edit any substantial amount of footage, transfer it from the external drive to the MBA hardrive then just edit it from there.
The main thing I'm wondering about is wheter or not the applications photoshop CS6, imovie (maybe even final cut pro?) and logic pro will run smoothly on a 2012 13-inch 1.8GHv i5 macbook air with 8gb ram.

Hello, i have MainStage 2 and Logic Pro and want to upgrade.

Do I have to pay full price for both of them again?
Thanks!!

Hi
If you want to get MainStage 3 and Logic Pro X, you have to buy them from the AppStore at full price.

New mac and logic pro 9

Last week my old G5 died and I,m looking at getting a new mac and logic pro 9.
My G5 had logic pro 7 and 8 installed on it. I was wondering do I need to install
those back on my new mac so I can upgrade to logic 9 or could I just install logic 9 on my new computer. I have the key that came with logic 7 and that's what I used to install logic 8 with. I really don't want to put those on my new computer. Also will logic 9 load my logic 8 songs.
Thanks for your help,
Chuck Floyd

No.

Yes.

Why not? You could install just the apps, they do not take much space and you know for sure you can always open your old projects.
Also will logic 9 load my logic 8 songs.
In principle, yes. But it can vary, depending on what you use(d) in those L8 projects (environment alterations, 3rd party plugins etc etc). If they won't load, use L8. I'ld advise you to install both L7 and L8, just in case. Just skip the samplecontent etc on both installs, do only the apps themselves.
regards, Erik.
