Garageband and Logic Express 7.2.. HELP ME!

Hello,
I have had my secondhand mac for a week. It came with Garageband08 and I have just bought Logic Express 7.2 to have some fun with
Needless to say I am completely new to this ans have a few problems..
Can anyone please tell me how I get Garageband to recognize the Apple Loops/Jam Packs that came with Logic Express as they don't seem to pull though in the Virtual Instrument browser or the Apple Loops
Also, even before I bought Logic Express some loops seem to be duplicated. I guess this means they are stored in two different folders - where is the best place to store them (and which folder should I look to delete)
Plus.. when I pull up the loop browser it says I have 600 odd loops, but the scroll down box shows barely half that amount?
Lastly, I have a few Prosamples cd's - where do I store these so they pull through into Apple Loops (this may help the problem above)
Any and all advice given to this newbie would be REALLY APPRECIATED!!

Can anyone give me a few pointer on how to rewire
ableton with le7.2??
The problem i have is that rewire DOES show up in the
environment page, but i just dont know where to start
from there. I always get intimmidated by that
environment thing in logic.
First, you don't need to do anything with the Environment if you don't need to send MIDI TO Live. If all you want is to get audio FROM Live, follow these instructions:
1. Create a new track in the Arrange window. You should be given the option to create a ReWire track. If so, select it. Your new track appears in the arrange.
2. In the parameters window on the left of screen, you'll see a value called "Channel". Click and hold, then select "Audio", then "Rewire", then "Ableton Live", then "Mix L/R"
3. Now launch Live. Any audio you play should be piped into Logic via the channel you created.
If you need to control Live via MIDI from Logic, all you need to do is create a Rewire object in the Environment, call it "Live", and change the "Device" parameter (again in the parameters box on the left of the screen) to "Live" and change the "Bus" parameter to whatever device you want to control within Live (or Reason, or any other Rewire slave). This is detailed on page 238-239 of the Logic Pro manual, which is available here (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/LogicPro7_ReferenceManual.pdf).
Sorry that I'm not in front of Logic at the moment, and some of the names of things might be slightly different. But this should get you started.

Garageband and Logic Express duplicate files

Hey,
I've been using Garageband 3 and am interested in upgrading to logic express 7 series. Are any of the loops, sounds, amps, software instruments,etc that are in garageband also in logic express. I guess what i'm saying is it worth the money to upgrade or will I be getting the same sounds and amps and things in I already have in garageband with some extra features and the ability to record in 24 bit. Does logic express have many more sounds, filters, software instruments, samplers than does garageband.thanks

Hi when you upgrade to LE7 you have 4 gigs of sounds that are not in GB
plus you have the option of installing GB sounds but if you already have them on your computer then Logic will recognize them
hope this helps

I have just bought a 2011 iMac (2.5 ghz, 4gb) and logic express 9, and when i installed logic and tried to run it i had a message saying 'you can't use this version of the application logic express with this version of Mac OS X. How do i sort this out!?

How do i sort this out!? It is very frustrating as the main reason i have bought a mac is to use logic! Any help would be great as i am a complete novice when it comes to Macs!

You're probably on OS X Lion?
I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

Can I rewire GarbageBand2 and Logic Express 7?

Can I rewire (I mean using the Rewire Program) GarbageBand2 and Logic Express 7? Can either one be master and the other slave? My first guess is that I would like to go as far as I can with GB2 as the master and then make Logic Express 7 the master and create a multi-tempo song with perhaps other editing possible through Logic Express.

I got into garageband because, I, a songwriter, have a song for which I want to make a good demo. I am still trying to learn GarageBand. I would stay with GarageBand the whole way except that the song has two tempos and GarageBand can't do it. Thus I am buying Logic Express. But I don't want to learn anymore about Logic Express than I have to, to get the job done. I will stay in GarageBand as much as I can.
Unfortunately, even if I can get my multi-tempoed song back into GarageBand with rewire, GarageBand can't handle the two tempos. So, for that reason, I have to write this off as a learning experience.

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

Anyone use hypersonic 2 and logic express 9?

Actually I have found a way for at least the instrument plug ins to be accessed.
I was able to set up an instance of Sculpture in MS2 and record it in LE using Soundflower.
Route the audio from MainStage to Logic and record onto an audio track in Logic as follows:
If not already installed, get SoundFlower. After installing it.
A) Setup the sound you want in MS2 and audio output to Soundflower (remember to Apply Changes or it does not hold).
B) In Logic Express set the audio input to Soundflower and create a new audio track for recording. Important: set Soundflower's audio output to however you listen to your audio or you won't hear anything.
C) Press RECORD and start playing, LE captures Mainstage's sound.
I have not tried to wire LE's output to MS2 to take advantage of Space Designer. but since this functions, I'm not sure why that couldn't work as well. It is still flipping though a few screens though...might just be easier to get Logic Pro from the App store....

Is it OK to install both Logic Pro and Logic Express on my computer?

Is it OK to install both Logic Pro and Logic Express on my computer?
I use Logic to perform live, but i only have 2 USB drives on my computer, and i use them during my performances, one for my keyboard, and one for my audio interface...........therefore, i dont have room to plug in the "node key" in order to use Logic Pro.
So is it ok for me to have Logic Express installed, too?? This way, I dont need to plug in the "node key" (or whatever it's called).
I know i can buy a USB hub, but i cant afford one right now.
Thanks, daddies!

I installed both on my PB 12" - no problem at all

Apple Pro Training Series: Logic Pro 8 and Logic Express 8 - Loops on the C

The CD that comes with has loops on it that you have to load into Logic Express. That is fine, but some of the loops are already present in Logic, thus now I have two sets of the same loops. For example, the listing in Guitar will show:
Southern Rock 01
Southern Rock 01
Southern Rock 02
Southern Rock 02
Not a huge deal but I would like to get the duplicate loops out and make sure I select the right ones to delete (the ones from the CD, not the ones drom Logic)
Has anyone come across this yet?

Have a look here: Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for GarageBand
Use sorting by date to find files which were copied there recently. This may help.

Final Cut Studio 2 Apple Loops, Jam Packs and Logic express 8 installation?

Hi(Bonjour)!
I've currently use Final Cut Studio 2 +Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2+ application with all included Apple Loops.
I own several Jam Pack Apple Loops packages (with a less than impressive integration with Garage Band for older one).
I purchased Logic Express 8 pro today.
Is there more Apple Loops files included with Logic express 8 than with Soundtrack Pro 2?
What is the best way to install Logic express 8 Apple Loops to avoid duplicate loops files?
Thank You.
Michel Boissonneault

Well, the installation was very simple, no duplicate files and tight integration of GarageBand loops and JamPacks.

Using Outboard Gear With M-Audio Fast Track Pro And Logic Express

My Fast Track Pro has 2 insert jacks on the back where you can run a send and return to use outboard gear. The cable you use has 2 female 1/4" jacks (one is send and the other is return) that go to a 1/4" male jack that you plug into the back of the interface.
My question is this:
How can I get Logic Express to send a track through the outboard gear connected to my interface? On the track's output settings in Logic there are "Output 1+2", which run to my monitors I think, and "Output 3+4", which don't have anything plugged into them. There don't appear to be any other options for sending the track. How can I get Logic to recognize the Inserts jack on the Fast Track Pro? I'm running all the latest drivers if that means anything. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks for helping me on this. I'm still a bit confused on how to send the channel through the insert. The jacks on the back of my interface are "TRS Output 1+2" (my monitors are plugged into these outputs), a RCA "Output 1,2,3, and 4", an S/PDIF out and in, and then 2 TRS inserts jacks, marked 1 and 2. Each jack does it's own separate send and return which is why I had to buy the cable with the 2 female jacks on it.
I've been able to use the I/O plugin and get the track to accept a signal from the insert on input 1 (I have a looping pedal running in the send chain and was able to get it to play a loop over top of the audio already recorded on the channel), but am unable to send the recorded track through the fx send. What would I need to set the output to to be able to do this? Thanks for your time.

Tascam 1884 and Logic Express 7.2.3 - Master Fader Issue

I am currently having a slightly annoying problem between Logic Express and my Tascam 1884. Whenever I move the Master Fader on the Tascam, it changes the output of the currently selected track in Logic rather than Output 1-2 as it should and used to do.
I opened up the package contents of Logic to check the control surface drivers to see if there was a new version available. The one installed in Logic for the 1884 was labled as v1.0. I checked on the Tascam website and there was an Application Specific driver for Logic labled as v1.10. I downloaded this and installed it in place of the v1.0 driver and started Logic up. I was greeted with an error message stating that the Control Surface Driver was outdated. To see the actual error message, go here:
http://flickr.com/photos/ephraim909/454973721/
Basically, it is stating that the "newer" version is outdated somehow. Is anyone else having this problem or have any idea what may be going on?
15 in. PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.25gb RAM

Thank you for the response. However, there are a few things wrong with that idea. First of all, that path that both you and Tascam specify to place the bundle is no longer applicable. The place where all the bundles are now is actually in the package contents of Logic Express, where I specified that I placed it. Secondly, there is something wrong with the driver beyond installing it in that, my control surface will no longer install or work. Therefore I cannot just ignore the error message because if I do, then nothing works at all. Once again I appreciate the suggestion, but that doesn't seem to help in my case.

MOTU 828 and Logic Express 7

I have a MOTU 828 purchased new in early 2002. Software is Audio Desk. Two questions:
1. Is there any reason to get Logic Express 7?
2. Is the MOTU 828 hardware compatible with Logic Express 7 as an interface through which to plug in instruments/mics?

The 828mk2 is a great soundcard. As for audiodesk... Here's the low down. Both Logic Express and Audio Desk are cut down applications from their 'pro' level apps which are Logic Pro and Digital Performer. I use DP for film editing, and I like it, but it is very different from Logic. I have tried using Audiodesk, and I found some of its limitations annoying after using DP. For example, it doesn't have its consolidated window which for me, and I think many others will agree, is DPs USP. Logic express is much less crippled in this way - the interface is exactly the same as Pro, and many things that Pro can do, Express can do too. There are a few very annoying omissions which is why I eventually upgraded, but Express is a great app. You might also find Audiodesks interface a little difficult at first - it's more geared towards the ProTools look of things. Then again, some people say they find Logic completely illogical. Ultimately it's entirely personal opinion, but I would go for Logic, if only for the synths and plugins. Hope this helps, and nice one for getting an awesome soundcard! Best, Fred

Reaktor & Razor latest with Logic Express 9 Setup Help!

I'm a semi newb to Apple Mac's I have a MacBookPro 8.1 4GB Ram - Logic Express 9 with all updates to Mac and Logic.
I just got Native Instruments Reaktor and Razor Synth but there is very little help for Logic users in the Documentation,
I managed to setup a new track as an EXTERNAL INSTRUMENT and managed to get REAKTOR configured to that track as an insert,
I can get my keyboard to record the Midi notes from my USB midi keyboard BUT it's not triggering Razor yet :/ .
I have tried Busing the output from Razor to Logic with no luck,
I tried side-chaining to Logic from Razor as well but did not succeed either,
I am trying to make a template to set me up an running faster, I use an M-Audio Firewire Soundcard all running ok with its own template.
KIT LIST: Maschine Hardware Control Interface, NI Reaktor Razor, Korg Prophecy Keyboard (old school midi) Analogue Input on soundcard,
USB Keyboards Edirol PCR-M1 , M-Audio Axiom 25 USB control keyboard.
I would really appreciate any help getting Razor going properly, Im almost there.. cheers for now.

I found NI Reaktor and Razor had to Add New Track as Software Instrument then I had to link to Reaktor via the I/O inputs further down the Mixer panel strip for that new track as an AUinstrument alot of trial and error, but I sust it all out though, now to play with midi. cheers

Best Interface for GarageBand and Logic?

I have been using GB and Logic Pro extensively for the past 2 years. I would now like to know what the best interface would be to use in order to use 8 mics at one time. Thanks for your help.

Only around six grand....but if you want da best...this is certainly in that stratosphere...

Lion and Logic Express 9.0

I have a brand new MacBook Pro and just bought a store-boxed version of Logic Express, which is ver 9.0. After installing, I got the message that it wouldn't launch because it's incompatible with this version of the OS. I tried downloading the latest update from Apple, but my serial number didn't go through as valid, perhaps since in this situation it's not yet registered. Is there away to proceed short of trying to return the software at Fry's?

Hi,
Download the Latest Version of Logic Express from here
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1015
Install it... Restart your Computer... then see if you can Open and Register Logic...
If you encounter any issues after doing this.. Give Applecare a call and tell them you are a Logic User...
Cheers
