FireWire Solo & Logic Pro 7 - Environment Setup

I just purchased this M-Audio device and need help setting this up in the Logic Pro environment.
My Setup is simple:
Mic --> Mic Pre Amp --> M-Audio Firewire Solo --> Powerbook/Logic Pro
So the M-Audio device is my only hardware I need to setup.
Any help would be appreciated.
I just want to get going and start recording some vocals!
Powerbook G4 15" 1.67 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 512MB RAM

ok so i guess i figured out part of the problem. i dont think logic 7 is compatible with the axiom pro

Logic Pro Environment Templates for Various Ensembles

I'm an old salt that started composing digitally only last year - always composed for live performance prior to this. Been tweaking VSL for eight months trying to find the right combination of Logic Pro plug-ins and settings on those plug-ins for a traditional romantic symphony ensemble (a typical Dvorak or Maller symphony instrumentation - not much different than a lot of modern movie instrumentations.) I've played in and been around highest level orchestras most of my life and am very frustrated trying to find the right combination of plug-ins to create realistic sound, not get clipped all the time when all instruments are playing forte passages, etc.
Are there any Environment templates anyone has produced with a set of plug-ins in place? Maybe this sounds sacreligious to some, but if I could get my hands on 10-15 templates of Environment setups people have used successfuly (romantic symphony, classical symphony, string quartet, chamber orchestra, woodwind quintet, movie scoring instrumentation, etc.), I feel like this would save me a few years of failing my way to success digitally.
Sure there are lots of variables that would require me to tweak things endlessaly, but at least I'd be doing it from a base template that has proven to work for at least one person with at least one set of variables with one specific ensemble, as opposed to the endless stream of things I've been trying with no base reference at all.
Help?

FYI - I'll even take just one template . Anything to give me reference point for doing my own thing. One way to do this would be to strip out all the track information itself and just email me the naked file with no music in it but the with environment still in place. I would be willing to pay if that's what it takes to get there.
FYI - I'm using Vienns Symphonic Library exclusively right now, but would still be glad to get my hands on some Environments set up for other libraries. Thanks.

Mapping Yamaha DTXplorer in logic pro - Environment window clicks and Ports

The midi signals for Yamaha DTXplorer are off from GM. The snare (G0) and bass drum (A0) output notes do not trigger snare (D1) and bass drum (C1).
I am a novice to both MAC and Logic Pro.
I have the midi out of the drumset going USB right into my MAC.
I've gotten as far as...
1. Environment window>clicks and Ports
2. Verifying the channels that DTX triggers for snare and bass drum.
3. Changing the output notes to D1 & C1.
Nothing changes with the sound.
In fact, I can change the output notes for drums that are set up correctly and they don't change either.
None of the alterations I do in the Environment window seem to do anything to the midi signals!
Do I need to activate or save the changes? If so, how (precisely)?
Thanks in advance.

You can do that from within the app, under menu Logic Pro X;

Using Apogee One with Logic Pro X- Setup Help

Hello
Using-OSX Mavericks, Logic Pro X
I have a lot of experience with GBand, but I am new to Logic all together. When I plug in the Apogee One to use for recording guitar, I hear the clean guitar tone coming through the output. The only issue is I cannot tweak the tones at all using Logic's built in amps (or Amplitube). All I have is the basic, clean tone that the One provides upon connecting. I just want to use the One as a guitar interface, and I am sure I am just missing a basic setting that will allow me to change the tone using the program's built in amps. I have also tried changing the knob on the One unit itself (guitar, mic, etc) Any suggestions?

A suggestion.. Yes, the Logic manual
1. Make sure you have "Logics Audio Preferences" set up. (see link)
http://help.apple.com/logicpro/mac/10/#lgcpbb81aca5
Next, you want Software Monitoring on.
And Using the software control panel that came with the Apogee you need to make sure that "direct monitoring" through the interface is disabled. Direct Monitoring let's you hear what the audio interface is hearing, basically, your straight/clean guitar.
Software monitoring let's the signal be run through Logic but the Interface has to be chosen as the input. (see link)
Apogee may have another name for direct monitoring, some call it "low latency monitoring".

Hi,
Back from my "rescue mission" ...
Firstable, to answer the last post, yes I tried on different computers but it was windows PC.
Anyway, I tried ...older drivers (1.8/1.7/1.7.2) ...not working.
I tried to close airport (not bluetooth cause my mouse use it) ...not working.
So I decided to buy and install Leopard ...and it's working great.
In fact, after some research my problem was a frequency problem who came from a disfunction between my card and my mac. But why this problem ...because of apple !!!
Yes It seems the last security update 2008-002 from apple can not be "trusted"
Bring a lot of problem ...as mine.
So maybe I bought leopard for nothing ...but is great too so I'm ok
Thx again for all your ideas.
See u.

Apogee Duet control panel - missing in Logic Pro X

Hey Guys
I'm asking on behalf of a friend who uses Logic in his home studio...
He has recently updated from Logic Pro 9 to LPX, and has noticed that the Apogee control panel that is integrated in Logic seems to be missing.
Does anyone know whether this has been removed permanently, or whether a driver update is required from Apogee?
Cheers and thanks in advance!
Mike

Updated:
There are new drivers now up on Apogee's website that are supposed to provide LPX compatibility

Using Alesis MultiMix 16 with Logic Pro 9

I'm wondering if anyone out there has any experience working with the Alesis MultiMix 16 Firewire and Logic Pro 9.0? I could use some help getting them to work together...

Yes it is possible, first connect your outboard to the soundcard.....then load the I/O (inserts) plug in on the track you want to process....you can find it in the utility menu....then set the routing of the signal in the I/O window....if you want to record the processed track create a new track with the right routing and the work is done.hope this replay help you .

Logic Pro + Node + Studio Setup, Need Advice, Please Help.

Hello everyone.
Ive just recently bought Logic 7.1 for my Quad PowerMac G5, and Im loving it!
Im going to build a studio in my garden (yup, im no pro). And I was thinking of purchasing a PowerBook for the studio and offload all processing and storage to my Quad machine (located in my study room in the house).
Im also considering purchasing another PowerMac G5 as for my server, and I would like to setup the server to also process Logic data and storage. Is this possible? Would i need to buy Xsan?
Another question, can I use more than 1 PowerMac G5 for Logic Pro? Also, how do I setup a Node? And in order for the Node to work do I need to purchase more Logic Pro USB Keys?
You may be wondering why am I going to purchase a PowerBook for the studio, well the answer is, i don't feel its safe to have a very expensive machine in studio, don't want it to get damaged by environment such as damage or theft, plus i spend alot of time studying.
One more thing, I have a PowerBook G4 and IMac G5, can i also setup Nodes on these machines aswell?
Any input would be brilliant. Also, your suggestions on studio setup would be also welcome.
Thanks in advance.

You won't need Xsan. I would test things out before getting too far into the idea. Your host should really be the strongest computer, all 3rd party, EXS, etc..plugins are not nodeable. You can use more than 1 node but as I see it your bottleneck would be the PBook. You can use regular file sharing just fine for this. You will need 1 USB key for each computer running Logic, the Node app requires no key. Therefore, you can run Logic on your book and 3 nodes with 1 key if you like. I would encourage you to use an iMac G5 as opposed to a Pbook if you really want to flex Logic muscle, which from the sounds of it, you intend to. iMac G5s are even cheaper than the Pbooks. Another thing to consider is some people have had no luck setting up Nodes-I've never had problems with it but there are some out there, maybe they're weird, maybe I am-but don't be 100% reliant on Nodes all the time until you have proven that in practice.

Alesis Midi Controller Keyboard setup with Logic Pro 8

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me... I'm a complete newbie!
Recently bought a Macbook with Logic Pro 8 and would like to get set up for some home recording. The keyboard I want to use as a midi controller is the Alesis QS6 which has been in the wardrobe for some time. I have a Midiman USB midi interface.
When I connect it all up, I can't get it to make any sounds from Logic, only from the keyboard itself, which I don't want. A friend suggested taking out one of the midi cables so now I have only Midi out from the keyboard running into Midi in on the Midiman. When I play the keyboard the notes register on the Transport bar and I can even record them but I cannot hear anything.
Can anyone tell me what settings I need to have on the Alesis? Should the Keyboard Mode be on Normal, CH Solo or Out 1,2,3...16? I read somewhere I need to turn General Midi off, does this sound right? Is it something to do with midi channels - I don't even know how to tell which midi channel is selected in Logic.
If anyone has experience with using the QS6 with Logic I would love to hear from you!!!
Thanks!

Run the Audio/MIDI Setup utility. Is your keyboard/MIDI interface displayed in there?
If not, OSX does not see your MIDI device. Install it's drivers if it has them. If it doesn't have any drivers, your MIDI config might have got hosed. What keyboard is it?
Unplug and replug it, directly, don't use a hub. Does it show up in the AMS utility now? Try powering it for an adapter, not from USB.
If you still get no joy, I'll give you some procedures to try...

Logic Pro 9.1.7 firewire 400 and 800 not working

I am having issues with Logic Pro 9.1.7 recognizing FW 400 and 800 connections, and/or my FW interface (mbox2 pro). When I open up LP I often do not hear any sound and have to reboot or reconnect FW cables, per another post suggestion with ProTools 9. After 30 minutes of restarting twice, unplugging / plugging in FW cables, turning off/on FW drives, it's finally up and running.
But the weird thing is that sometimes it opens up fine and other times it does not. I don't understand this variable, as my setup always remains the same.
I am guessing this is a Mac OS issue, but I'll list my setup in case anyone has any suggestions:
MacBook Pro OS 16.6.8
Mbox2 Pro interface (blue) - connected via FW 400
Firewire drives on both 400 and 800 connections
I realize this could be a host of issues other than Logic Pro 9, such as Audio Midi Setup (which often doesn't recognize my Mbox2 Pro). But again, thought I'd start here.
thanks

If Audio MIDI Setup cannot see/recognise the MBox, then Logic will be unable to see it. Audio MIDI Setup is at OS level: if your MBox does not show up it is likely to be:
Driver issues (highly likely)
Cable Issues
FW socket issues: hardware fault.

Is M-Audio FireWire Solo ok for Logic 9 ?

Is M-Audio FireWire Solo ok for Logic 9 ?

Yes. All M Audio interfaces work very well with Macs running Lion and Logic Pro 9. It all just depends on what specs you're looking for in an interface. Assuming the FireWire solo meeting your demands in terms of sample rate, bit depth, and ins and outs, go for it!!

Firewire Solo - No Audio input in Logic

Always there are problems with using live audio input with Logic. Why can't it plug'n'play like Garageband?
I'm getting no audio input to Logic Pro 8, even thought a signal is going into the 'Solo and into the Mac itself.
I've done all the following:
- Installed M-Audio's 1.9.3 driver update for SL
- Selected the 'Solo in Logic prefs
- Checked its selected in OS Prefs
- Unplugged and replugged the 'Solo 'hot'
- Restarted the Mac
- Restarted Logic
Any ideas people?
I'm right minged-off, as I'd finally time to do some recording this weekend. But sans audio input - no soap.

Try launching the M-Audio FireWire application and check the software mixer to make sure inputs or outputs aren't muted or turned down. I had that happen once.
BTW - Although the unit has 6 inputs (mic and instrument on the front, stereo line in on the back and digital coax stereo in), I believe only the two of the four analog inputs can be active at a time. Either the front pair, or the back pair.

Logic Pro X - Optimal Hardware setup

I am currently running Logic Pro X on an early 2011 MBP 17 with an EiE Pro and Akai MPK49. I am looking move this setup to a desktop environment. Looking at the iMac versus the New Mac Pro. From what I can tell, my MBP(16G RAM) handles it pretty well which indicates that I don't really need the MP (maybe?). Since I am fairly new to Digital Audio (about a year in; hip hop/techno creation/mixing/production), I was wondering if there's anything that I'm not considering. Any thoughts? What are the setups that are working for you? Not made of money, but price is not a deciding factor just looking to get the right setup to suit my needs and allow for growth.

A set of quality speakers and earphones and you should be ready to go, I think.
Cheers!

Logic Pro no longer works with Firewire 1814 after updating drivers

I was attempting to hook up 2 M-Audio Firewire 1814 units and use them from Logic Pro 7. The older driver I was using would actually crash with this configuration, and so I updated to the latest driver, thinking this might solve the problem.
Well, the M-Audio driver now comes up fine - I can even monitor the signal levels coming from both devices in the associated UI. However, when I launch Logic Pro, I get the following message:
"Logic Pro has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party MIDI or audio drivers."
Although I can arm some of the lower track numbers (I still get this message), I cannot do so with higher track numbers.
Effectively, installing the latest M-Audio driver has broken my version of Logic Pro for whatever reason.
Removing and reinstalling the driver made no difference.
Any thoughts, anyone??

The M-Audio driver does not support 2 devices in Logic Pro.

How to use Setup Assistant in Logic Pro 8?

How to use Setup Assistant in Logic Pro 8? I can't find it! even in the User Manuel!
Also, where can we setup the monitor number like we used to set '2 monitor ' in Logic Pro 7's setup assistant
Thanks!

I've been using Logic on two monitors for years. Screensets extend over all the monitors your computer sees, you can position windows on one, or the other, or size them to fit over both, so you can happily have for instance an arrange window on one monitor, and a mixer window on the other monitor, or stretch a giant arrange window over both...
