Have to load presets in Space Designer manually?

I have to load Space Designer presets in Logic 8 manually (prompt the path) after installing Logic 9 upgrade. Anybody else with the same problem?

Thanks for your answer:
Here is what happens in my case, even with Logic 9.1 being installed.
When I open a new project in Logic 8 I can switch through the presets. However, when I save the project and reopen it again, then I need to prompt the path if I want to change a preset.

  • Logic crash when loading 3rd party space designer preset

    Hi,
    I am having problems loading 3rd party space designer presets in a specific project. When I load the presets in a new song there is no problem. I would like to use the presets in this specific project, so maybe somebody knows a solution.
    I already tried system maintenance like
    - running the regular cron scripts
    - repairing permissions
    - removing the logic preferences file
    My setup:
    - dual 2Ghz PPC G5
    - 4 GB DDR SDRAM
    - OSX 10.4.11
    - Logic Pro 8.0.2 (1502.22)
    And the crash report until the crash:

    A quick update: logic crashes in more cases now. Last time I was working on volume automation in the arrange window.

  • 5th time installing, NO presets for Space Designer!!!!!!

    In another thread I talked about this but either no one has an answer ecxept "install on top of the current installation" or no one knows.
    what am i left to do ?
    Sell it?
    oh and the "register now" button on the start screen always stays blank.
    I guess they just don't want me to

    Sounds like you might have some permissions issues. A workaround for the registration button has been posted before. Does Logic work for you without your XSkey? (if you came via Logic Pro 7.)
    As for the presets, what is missing, the impulse files, or the plugin settings? If the installer can't write to your disk, then use Pacifist to extract the content you want from the install disks and copy them to where they should be.

  • Space Designer preset select crash

    I'm running Logic Studio (upgraded from L7) on a core duo iMac, osx 1.4.10
    Selecting a preset in Space Designer crashes Logic.
    Any preset does this and it does it every time.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    You've got to be kidding. It worked! Thanks for the suggestion Peter.
    So:
    Spotlight off = Spacedesigner crashes while selecting preset.
    Spotlight on = No crash.
    I never would have guessed that. To tell you the truth, Logic8 loads a little faster now as well. Cool.

  • Space Designer Lost all Factory presets

    Can anyone figure out how to get the factory presets back into Space Designer? Somehow something got corrupted. I find the factory presets in the library but only (18 Concerts & Halls) shows up in the slide out window on the plug in itself. I have tried trashing preferences, moving all presets out & back in to library, and re-installing Soundtrack Pro onto my hard drive without any success. Space Designer is a great plug-in and the factory presets are great time savers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Lost without my Space Designer Factory Presets.

    gene6,
    Here is the way I get the factory presets for Space
    Designer.
    1) Add Space Designer as an effect to a track.
    2) Click on the "advanced..." button to show the cute
    knobs and sliders.
    3) Right-Click on the "IR Sample" triangle located at
    the top of the big circle on the left side. (If you
    don't have a two-button mouse, buy one quick.)
    4) This menu says "Load IR, Load IR & INIT, or Show
    in FInder. I pick Load IR.
    5) This then goes to the 36 folders of Impulse
    Responses in the Library so you can pick an .SDIR
    file like "in the shower" inside bathrooms. Then
    click Open to load it into Space Designer to try it
    out on that track.
    6) If you like it (or twiddle with it to where you
    can use it), show the user presets and click the "+"
    button to add this setting to your list of User
    Presets for easy retrieval.
    I still don't know if there is a place for tutorials
    in this forum, but this works for me.
    Hope it helps.
    David
    Thanks David your a wiz. this totally is the solution I was looking for.

  • Space Designer 'hangs' Logic * when choosing preset

    Hello All,
    This is my first post!!
    I've just purchased a new Intel Mac 8 core with 8 gig of ram - great machine and can seem to handle many plugs. I seem to have a problem - when changing a preset in Space Designer it hangs Logic, I force quit and have to reboot the programme. Has anyone had this problem? I'm using a Metric Halo 2882 dsp. It could be a setting in Audio preferences, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated,
    Phil T

    Thanks for the reply -
    My impulses are stored on my local drive 'macintosh hd' - but i don't think this is the problem because when I start a new project, Space Designer works normally. I read somewhere that it could be conflicting with my Airport card - I'm yet to try it out, but will give it a shot in the morning.
    Cheers,
    Phil

  • I am having trouble using reverb of any kind; it does not sound natural, but rather "pixilated." Does anyone have any ideas for a solution? I have used Silververb and Space Designer and am having the same problem...

    I am using Logic Pro 9 with two MXL 990 microphones in my piano and a Rode NT1A for vocals. I have tried recording with added reverb and keeping getting not a natural reverb sound, but a rather "pixilated" one that does not sound natural. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this issue? I have tried using Silververb and Space Designer, and both result in the same problems. Thank you!

    This is asking for the impossible! It does not sound natural because maybe it isn't and in judging so whats your reference anyway. If you are in dire need of some natural sounding room you can go and record it yourself. But even then, the chances that it sounds like you imagined it, are very slim.
    There are very decent sounding reverberation plugins, based on artificial reverb generators or convolution-style, the last one is said to sound more 'natural' then the first one. Be it as it maybe, it really is like cooking food. You got all the ingredients for this delicious taste at hand and believe it or not to reach a satisfying result this is not enough, because if you do not mix the ingredients in the right proportion you will end up with a different dish you thought you'll get. This is exactly the same when one would mix audio, I dare say.
    So treat yourself to some good ingredients and the rest is up to you, namely: taste and experience!
    And looking at some of my past music productions I always find the same plugins for the 'ambient' task:
    Altiverb by Audio Ease when I have acoustic ensembles (classical music mostly), the Sony Oxford Reverb in studio productions, Bricasti when I have to deal with drums and MMultiBandReverb from MeldaProduction for all-round stuff. Thats the base I start from, after that I can end up with dozen Reverb plugins which basically all are doing the same thing but just in a tiny different way.

  • Space designer causes crash - any suggestions??

    Hello people
    I just started running logic 8 on a new imac and I have a big problem with space designer.
    Everything will be going sweet (well kinda). I open SD and things are still fine, but if I try to open any preset then it crashes. Complete freeze, have to force quite and try again...
    This also stops me from opening any of my old Logic 7 songs as I use SD on most tracks, so I guess that is what is causing it to hang...
    Any suggestions?
    I have tried trashing the prefs, but no joy still.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    Now tried the same thing on iPad and iPad Mini. Didn't work and not even my documents show on iPad. Very frustrating as can't use Pages at all. Apple need to sort this.

  • Space Designer True Stereo Impulse Responses

    I recently purchased some impulse responses. I am trying to load these into Space Designer on Logic 9.1. They have been supplied as L, R and C wav files. It says that Space Designer supports 'true stereo' impulse responses, where there is a seperate wav file for L and R. But I can't work out how to load both files? Has anyone on here successfully loaded True Stereo responses in Space Designer? The set of responses also includes 'quad' files consisting of just one stereo file - should I be using these instead?
    If anyone could help/offer any advice I would be very grateful
    Many thanks

    If the impulse responses are Stereo Interleaved audio files, then they load into Space Designer as true stereo impulses.
    Note : make SURE you create the space Designer on a STEREO AUX or channel, otherwise its mono--->Stereo, and will load mono impulses. At least that what it does on my system. They same impulse sounds very different when fed a mono source VS a stereo source...
    As for "QUAD" sources, it does not support them, at least I do not think it does.
    Try loading a Space Designer on a 4-channel audio track (a QUAD) track, and see what happens.
    Also, those QUAD files are probably 4 mono audio files contained in the one file. I've seen these before...
    Cheers

  • Adding samples to Space Designer...

    Hi folks
    I have a bunch of samples someone gave me to add to Space Designer (wav samples of spaces...) but I'm wondering if there's a quick way to add them as presets to Space Designer - only way I've worked out so far is adding them one by one and saving them one by one. Admittedly I could have looked harder... Just wondered if anyone out there had already done this and could help me out?

  • 96k Space Designer impulses ?

    Since all the factory presets for Space Designer default to "sample rate/2" in a 96k project, I'm assuming the factory impulses are all at 44.1k ?
    Any chance there are higher sampling rate versions of these factory impulses hidden somewhere ?
    Guessing the answer is "No" ...

    I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere, maybe the Audio Ease website, that there's really no need to sample reverbs at anything about 48khz, as reverberations rarely contain frequencies over 18khz anyway.
    Makes sense. On the other hand, I'm guessing running a 44.1k impulse in a 96k session requires at minimum a realtime sample rate conversion, which will probably degrade the performance of the original impulse.
    Not to mention that a 44.1k sample in a 96k session won't necessarily use less CPU... possible that it uses more than a 96k impulse running at the native sample rate. I haven't tried to test.
    Probably splitting hairs here, but I'm curious...

  • Logic freezes while loading Space Designer presets

    Logic freezes while loading Space Designer presets when I am working on my template and songs. If I create 1 track in a new empty project there is no problem with Space designer.

    And with Logic 8, I am stumped as to how to find all of my samples and virtual instruments that I used in Logic 7...Where is the "folder" that I drag my Sampler Folder alias into? Any clues?

  • Trouble loading IR's in Space Designer

    Ever since i upgraded to Logic 8 there have been many Space Designer IR's that won't load. I finally took the time to figure out where they were and why they wouldn't load and now i'm even more confused. For example when i choose "Small Combo Spring" (small spaces> Spring Reverbs> Small Combo Spring) I'm prompted to manually locate the IR but when i do find the pst file it's not highlighted (I'm not able to select it). If i choose to load setting manually i can choose Small Combo Spring.pst but then i'm asked to locate Small Combo Spring .SDIR which can't find. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Two things - a Space Designer plugin settings file (*.pst) is not the same thing as an impulse file.
    The pst file simply contains the settings of Space Designer's GUI, and the path/name of the loaded IR file.
    Now, the Space Designer presets were altered, renamed and reprogrammed for LP8, and the impulse files are different. It may be that you have left the LP7 SD pst files on your system, but had the impulse responses replaced with the LP8 ones - hence, the LP7 ones won't load.
    If this is the case, you can reinstall the LP7 impulses from your LP7 disks. I'm not sure offhand whether these impulses are also in LP8's legacy content (I can have a look) but I'd recommend using Pacifist to extract the impulse files and place them where they need to be to have everything load correctly.

  • Space Designer Presets and Impulses... Gone?!

    I'm stymied...
    Been wanting to audition some Space Designer reverbs, but for some reason all of the presets were gone from the settings menu. I don't remember what I did exactly, but I found them and moved them into the SD settings folder somewhere on my system. And now I have all of my presets back. But...
    Every time I load one of the presets, Logic asks me where the .sdir file is for it.
    This never used to be a problem. Why it's different today is beyond me. But anyway...
    Can someone please tell me where .sdir files are supposed to be located? And also, just so I'm sure everything is where it should be, where should the SD preset settings live?
    -=iS=-

    Works perfectly.
    For some reason my impulse responses and settings were in two places:
    iSchwartz HD/Library/Logic/Impulse Responses
    ...and...
    ~/Library/Applications Support/Logic/Impulse Responses
    Weird...
    Anyway, thanks again.

  • Impulses loaded into Space Designer?

    Hey does anybody know how to load impulse responses into Space Designer? Just downloaded some third party stuff and wanted to try them out. They are called "Beamsonic Impulses". Thanks

    Yeah, using gates would be clumsy and buggy. What the Sonic Birth API does is is allow you to construct your own AU by instatiating actual code. But you don't have to really write the code. You drag visual modules around and link them with virtual cables. Each module is ultimately a C++ class function and you're really just building object oriented code with a GUI. There really is very little you can't do. For example, you can even attentuate output amplitudes with whatever function or equation you wish to write. Recently I wrote a fade in/fade out plug that follows exponential curves when a timing loop is started by a boolean variable switching from 0 to 1. Designing a virtual logic circuit to test the input for its amplitude is very easy and that could be used as a trigger to switch between the output of several convolutions. To the end user it would look like any other AU if you packaged the IR wave files with the plug you create and set them up as presets. The catch is that the user has to actually have the Sonic Birth framework on their machine to use it. It doesn't make a generic AU that everyone can use.
    If I get this baby working I'm gonna get real excited.
