Guitar Presets - Logic Express 7.2

Is there a place that I can get more guitar presets for logic express without having to buy a plugin prgram like Guitar Rig2. Also, I find that the presets in Garageband sound better than the presets in Logic. Is there something I'm missing?
Intel iMac 1.83 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1gb ram

I don't know of any places to download some, but I do have to agree that I like the sound of the Garageband AMP simulators better than Logic's.
You could check this forum for some.
http://logicprohelp.com/
Or a trick I like to do is to Bus a clean guitar signal to 3 Aux or Bus tracks, then put amp simulators on all three, then blend them all together to where I like it. I got the idea after reading an interview on how Adam Jones of TOOL made his guitar signal. 3 amps with an SM57, a Sennheiser 421, and another mic that they felt they needed, on each cabinet. Here's the article, it's really good for someone who likes producing and engineering.

Logic express Vocoder presets

hi
i have noticed while looking at videos on you tube that there is a large amount of presets in logic pros vocoder compared to express. i understand this is more then likely one of the advantages of having pro but is there any way to get the presets for express ?
thanks

Hi Jerod,
I tried posting it here but it was too big for the discussion forums. I've created a PDF and put it on my iDisk public folder.

Hope that helps, though it doesn't say anything about suitability or quality, of course. Then again, there are about 1,500 entries...

Logic Express don't find Guitar Rig

Hello,I am using Logic Express for Intel based MacBook Pro, but it does'n find my Guitar Rig, actually sometimes it find G.R. and sometimes don't.... so I moved my "GuitarRig 2.component" from components folder to desktop and then moved again to components folder and it works .... why ?

I had this problem too. Just move the GuitarRig.component file from:
\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\Components\
to:
\YourHomeFolder\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\Components\
and restart Logic.
Let me know if this helps you!

Copying Grageband setting to Logic Express 7?

I've been working with Garageband since it came out, and what I usually do is begin a project in GB and then open it in Logic Express 7 to to be able to do more. Even though I don't like GB's limitations compared to LE 7, some of the pre-made settings are fun and easy to use.
Does anyone know of a script or a way of copying ALL of GB's settings to LE 7?
For example, the EQ - if I want to use GB's "Improve Guitars" in LE 7, I have to import a GB project with a track that has that setting into LE 7, then go to the EQ plug-in and save that setting. I have resorted to doing that for each project I work on, but it would be convenient to have them all copied over with a script, especially with all the Jam-packs.
Maybe you guys at Apple can pass that on? ( ....oh and while your at it, please add the ducker as plug-ins to LE 7.....I hate re-routing the sends on the projects I import;)
Any help would be appreciated.
Powerbook G4, 1.5Ghz, 1.5Gigs RAM, M-Audio Firewire Mac OS X (10.4.6) LE 7.1, GB 3.02, All Jam Packs

As far as I have found so far, all of the presets in GB are still there in LE for me, including those I made myself.

App Store Mainstage affected Logic Express 8

I downloaded Mainstage a few weeks ago and am very pleased with the purchase and it is working fine.
However I already owned logic 8 express, which has changed since the installation of mainstage. The presets have changed to suit mainstage's, taking many of my favourite presets away. This would be fine, except most of the presets now utilise Spacedesigner, which logic 8 express does not have. Each time I select one of these instruments/presets I get the error message Logic Express: Plug-in “SpaceDsn” not available!. It completely disrupts the creative flow and it is hard to tell which settings I can use and which I can't use.
Selecting Guitars is equally difficult. Most of the Main stage presets use pedalboard, which logic 8 express does not have.
Is there a way to tell logic the location of space designer? in the mainstage folder perhaps?

There is no way to get the missing effects and instruments into in older version of Logic or GarageBand. They are part of the application code.

Logic Express 7: sudden reduction of the number of available instruments

I use Logic Express 7, and when I opened a new window and tried to make another song with instruments (garageband instruments) I realized that the variety/# of instruments available were suddenly reduced.
To explain more, it is fine until I choose a instrument( for example,"guitar"), but when I try to change the setting of that instrument("guitar"-->"classical guitar" to "electric guitar") there are now only about 2 or 3 settings. I had tons more (at least more than 30 for one instrument) just before I started another song.
I don't have MIDI and I only use instruments. I don't think I have to pay for the garageband instruments(not loops) because they come with Logic and I never had to pay although I've made more than 10 songs using many different instruments/settings.
I tried to reset the whole program, but it didn't give me back the variety. Has anybody experienced this? Please please let me know if you know a solution!! Or even a clue. I cannot create anything with only few settings for each instrument.
Thank you all!

Try loading the EXS24 sampler to a track and have a look in the presets menu - there should be a Garageband instruments menu to select from - you might find what you're looking for there.

Logic Express vs OSX 10.4.9

Anybody else having problems with Logic Express since the 10.4.9 update? My M-Audio FireWire Solo interface is distorting my guitar tracks and the trouble seems to have started around the time of the update. M-Audio says there's not ETA on a 10.4.9 driver update. It works fine with GarageBand (which would indicate that the problem is with Logic) but I didn't buy Logic Express so that I would have to work in GarageBand. Until Apple or M-Audio gets on the stick and updates their software I'm screwed. I can reset the problem very briefly by selecting external clock in the driver, which doesn't have anything to do with the trouble, but resets the noise for a take, sometimes not a whole take. The only other solution I can see is back dating my OS to 10.4.8 which would require zeroing out my drive, something I'm not real anxious to do. If updates are coming soon I'll wait. Anybody else feeling my pain or even better, know when help is coming?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Santo y Blue Demon VS Dracula y el Hombre Lobo!!!!
Now to your post:
Anybody else having problems with Logic Express since
the 10.4.9 update?
Yes...oops too late,you should read up on updates BEFORE you update.And turn off "Auto-Update" on your machine from now on.Or suffer,it's really your choice.
My M-Audio FireWire Solo interface
is distorting my guitar tracks and the trouble seems
to have started around the time of the update.
Yeah,I am sorry to hear that.Go buy another brand of audio interface.
M-Audio=migraine.
M-Audio says there's not ETA on a 10.4.9 driver
update.
Of course not.They are too busy blaming Digidesign.
It works fine with GarageBand (which would
indicate that the problem is with Logic) but I didn't
buy Logic Express so that I would have to work in
GarageBand.
Nope...it's definitely the 10.4.9 update,plus the interface=CACA.
Until Apple or M-Audio gets on the stick
and updates their software I'm screwed.
Glad it's you and not me,bro...
I can reset
the problem very briefly by selecting external clock
in the driver, which doesn't have anything to do with
the trouble, but resets the noise for a take,
sometimes not a whole take.
Let's see..I had three of these systems,adn replaced them with Digi gear.Now it works every day.Ergo,replace the interface.
The only other solution I
can see is back dating my OS to 10.4.8 which would
require zeroing out my drive, something I'm not real
anxious to do.
Save yourself the trouble of doing that.M-Audio won't pay you your down-time.
If updates are coming soon I'll wait.
Again,rely on crappy company (M-Audio) and you see the answer "M-Audio says there's not ETA on a 10.4.9 driver update. "
You said it...not me...you wanna wait???
Anybody else feeling my pain or even better, know
when help is coming?
I feel your pain,I went through this last year.Here's the only advice I can give you:
RUN TO GUITAR CENTER AND GET ANOTHER BRAND OF AUDIO INTERFACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Problems recording using Logic Express 9

Hi everybody,
I'm a new Mac user. I'm a musician and I recently started to use a home studio for small projects.
Lately, I acquired some nice microphones to record a classical guitar and other acoustic instruments through Logic. However, something's going wrong and I can't make it work.
Before I describe the problem, let me tell you what I use:
- iMac (OS Lion 10.7)
- Logic Express 9
- m-audio Fast track ultra
- Rode NT5 condenser microphones
Problem:
As stated before, I'm having trouble using my microphones. Logic just doesn't hear the signal. However, if I plug a guitar directly into the m-audio box andf then into Logic, I can record no problem. Same thing if I use an electric piano (Yamaha P-95) into the m-audio box then into Logic with the Midi sound bank, everything's fine! It all goes dead when I plug in the microphones. The weird thing is that I can hear and see the signal through the m-audio box using headphones. However, Logic doesn't even show me a sign of any activity. I thought it had something to do with the Phantom power, but no. I tried and nothing. My guess is that something needs to be activated in Logic but I just can't find it.
Anybody with an idea?
thanks
CJ

Hi,
no worries, these are all good suggestions to check out.
Actually, I did all of this already, but the problem was somewhere else....
I finally found what it was. The m-audio has a software that has a board control and the "software returns" signal was off.
Also, a good "restart" of my computer made things a bit easier.
Thanks for your help!

Logic Express 9 running with Tascam US-122 - possible?

Hello,
I've been scouring support forums and the Logic user manual all day and unfortunately cannot seem to find an answer to this:
Is it at all possible to run Logic Express 9 with the Tascam US-122?
I've just converted from PC to Mac in the last couple of weeks: all of my software and drivers are all up-to-date so that should not be an issue. Obviously that means that I've previously been using my Tascam with Cubase on the PC, and I was really hoping it would cope with Logic too. The problem is that Logic does recognize the Tascam but when it comes to recording, I can't get it to work. Apparently it's something to do with the sample rate?
Please help - if it can be avoided, I don't want to have to buy another device. Any advice or answers would be very much appreciated!
Thank you.

It sounds like you have the same setup as us.
I (oops, wife) has a brand new iMac, a Tascam US-122L and a Yamaha KX8 controller. She started with GarageBand, then bought Logic Express 9 and just yesterday we ordered the upgrade to Logic Studio.
Like any new computer setup of course nothing worked right away.
She plugs her guitar into the Tascam but it didn't work until we changed to Input 2 in Logic (or was it GarageBand, sorry I am getting them confused).
Anyway, my point is that you should not need any more hardware to make it work. We have yet to plug a mike into the Tascam...that will be the fun for the weekend....lol
Good luck,
Paul

How can I upgrade form Logic Express 9 to Logic pro?

I have Loci Express 9 and I want to update to Logic Pro 9 . the only way is to download the "full" version from the app store? SInce I see that the download is only 400Mb what about the 8 DVD that used to come with the previous version? If I download Logic Pro, will It be a new program or It will upgrade Logic Express?

You might be able to find a Logic Studio updgrade out there in the retail world but the only current and active "upgrade" available is to simply buy Logic Pro for $199 through the Mac App Store. The initial download is only about 400 megabytes but when it runs the first time, it downloads an additional 2 gigabytes or so of "required content." After that, you can go to the Help menu at any time and select "Download Additional Content." There's over 20 gigaytes of additional samples, loops and presets you can download at your leisure.
To answer the second part of your post, Logic Pro will coexist with Logic Express side by side, but there's really no reason to do that unless you just want to. There's nothing Express does that Pro doesn't do.

The Use Of SPDIF In Logic Express 7?

Hey all,does anyone know if the use of spdif in logic express 7 is possible? i have a motu 2408II and it has spdif in-out but im not sure if lofig supports it or not.i dont see it in the channel input area.

Thanks for your answer. The search function was disabled due to maintenance when I posted the topic. Now it is back up running.
I understand your reply. I think it is strange it is possible to get most presets already enabled when you use that Channel Strip 'insert' on the left, but not the "bus" settings. These bus settings do make the difference.
It is ok for me to do it manually. But I'm still curious wheter it is possible to do this automatically or not. It depens on some sounds, but a very good comparision is the Orchestra Fugue Organ from the Symphonic Orchestra Jampack. This sounds far better on Garageband compared to the default settings in Logic Express. I think most people will agree with me here.
Knows someone a trick to get 100% the same settings like in GB just by choosing this sound? Or do I indeed have to set up that manually (or is there another trick to make this an automatic process)
Another solution would still be starting my arrangment in GB...
Thanks for any support!

Logic Express 9

I'm having a problem with latency in Logic Express 9. I know how to adjust it in the audio settings, but no matter what I set my buffer size to, after a few seconds of playing, there is a delay between when I play and when I hear the sound through my speakers. I've done lots of recordings before using this same set up, but this just started to happen. Logic said I was running out of memory for a song I was recording, so I upgraded from 4 gigs of RAM to 20. This is my first time trying to record after installing the new RAM. I have my guitar plugged into a Zoom R16 pre-amp, and then into my computer (iMac 2.8 GHz i7 with 20GB of RAM). After a few seconds of playing using the built in guitar tones (and no other program open), the delay kicks in. Any suggestions other than changing the buffer size (which I've tried)?
Thanks

Where do you connect the Mic?
have you selected the Mic as the input on your Audio interface(not line) if you have the Mic connected there?
Have you raised the input level of the Mic on the Audio interface?
I went into preferances and set it up to input my M-Audio interface and output built in.
Why did you select built-in as the output?
You have to select the exact Input you have your Mic connected on the Channel Strip Input slot of the track you'd like to record in Logic and make sure it's a mono track.

Logic Express Create MIDI from Audio Voice Track

Is it possible to take a sung voice recording and generate a MIDI track in Logic Express? I don't need to replicate the voice in the MIDI track, but would like the pitches and rhythms for editing in Finale.
Pete P.

That is a brilliant request, I'd love to see an answer to this myself. I've thought of this type of feature in the past and seen that there are tools out there that can convert audio from a guitar or other instrument to create midi - so the technology is there - the question is can Logic do it? hmmm curious too.

Tell me where to go-I have bought logic express 8 - Recording live music.

I have Macbook 2
Presonus Firepod 8 in
PA gear
500 gig Firewire drive
We play live and I just want to hit record and play.
I stop at breaks and save the files.
All of this works great!
Now any advice for someone who has five hours of music recorded with the default settings for each channel. For example why does it say midi files instead of audio files?
Hey I am serious, I am looking up at a real steep learning curve.
I have mixed some material down (bounced) to Itunes, it sounds great, but I am driving a fast car with no experience. So any advice, ABC's of live recording, any tips?
I am just a guitar player in his fifties who has been given the tools, but could sure use some common sense.

Hi, and welcome!
Please note this is the Logic Pro forum - you should post your queries in the Logic Express forum.
So... No one here is going to type out the Getting Started manual for you - crack it open with a cup of coffee, or if you really can't be arsed to read a manual, then I'd suggest getting some tutorial videos from MacProVideo.com - about the fastest way of getting you up to speed with Logic.

Logic Express 7 vs. ProTools LE 7

Can anyone reccomend a resource for comparing these 2? I need to pick up something like MBox2 with Protools LE package, or a comparable hardware interface (preferably firewire) with Logic Express.
Any personal recommendations? I will mostly be recording guitar/bass/vocals (probably 2 mics used at once max).
Thanks very much!!!

well obviously you can use Logic with the MBox as well. I use an MBox running both Pro Tools LE and Logic, and aside from not being able to open both at the same time (which isn' t that much of a problem) i find it a good working set up. each program is good for very different things. Logic is intuitive and superb for sequencing, Pro Tools is the master (in my opinion) for audio. there is some latency issue with Logic through the MBox, though no problems at all with ProTools.
as an alternative the Focusrite Saffire interface is superb, very similar to the MBox, but with the added inclusion of it being Firewire (which i don't understand why MBox2 isn't). i've a feeling Focusrite actually make the MBoxes, but i'm not sure. anyway, perfect for your need, portable and with mic pre amps and guitar inputs. but you cannot use PT LE with it, only Logic.
good luck
