Help Required Please with Logic Express and Yamaha O1X

Hi, I'm a new Logic and Mac user. I have just installed Logic Express and I am trying to get my Yamaha O1X mixer/ interface to work. I have the MLAN Tools installed and I can load a demo song into Logic. The meters on my Mixer are moving, I just cannot hear any sound. Doesanyone know the correct way to set this up to work correctly??
I Mac 20" Mac OS X (10.4.9) Intel Dual Core 2.46 Ghz with 2GB Ram

Answer these questions for me:
Is the Monitor A/B switch green or off?
Do you have the faders 1/2 raised on the 01X in the INST tab, and is the Stereo fader raised?
Where is your amp/speakers connected to on the O1X?
Should be connected to monitor L/R out with the A/B switch off (not green).
If you load the logic demo are the meters moving?
Is Logic selected as your DAW on the O1X utility tab?
In your AMS settings....MLAN should be selected for the inputs and outputs
Make sure you did This!!!!
To monitor your computer's audio outs via the 01X go to the surface of the 01X. In the upper right click INTERNAL MODE (2nd button from left, top of the 01x next to REMOTE).
Go to the right of the 01x there are 5 white buttons for
AUDIO/INST/MIDI/BUS/AUX/OTHER. Choose INST - bring up the faders on Channels 1 and 2. Pan them left and right by clicking PAN (one the surface of the 01X in the PAGE area once, then using the knobs beneath the green screen mLAN 1 and mLAN 2 and spinning the knobs left and right), and control your master volume with the master fader. Use the headphone volume to adjust output level.
Very important......if you did all of this, play a song from itunes see if there is audio if not you have something connected wrong.
If you get it from itunes and not logic....then we need to look at logic!
You need to run logics setup assitant and make sure in the controller setup the O1X is showing! Click rebuild defaults in the controller tab of logic....you should see the faders move!
let me know....i will stick with ya till we get it working.

I have East/West Symphony. Will it work with Logic express and do I have to have that little red usb drive in the computer to authorize it?

I have East/West Symphony.
Will it work with Logic express and do I have to have that little red usb drive in the computer to authorize it?
Also, would it work with Garageband??

Thanks-that's the same driver I'm using now.
The M-audio techs were unable to tell me if Quattro would work with LE8, so I've been wasting my time and money trying to make it work.
They also gave me conflicting opinions as to whether or not "tip" polarity was an issue when using an after-market adapter. One said definitely yes, one or two others said definitely no.
Their phone tech line has a 20 to 40 minute wait when I call. The online support system is confusing, which even they admit. I don't think my next interface will be from M-audio.
Thanks very much for the response, it helps me get beyond this phase.
Is the Quattro of any use for anybody else (i.e., can I sell it or give it away)?

Working with Logic Express and Sibelius Student

Help! I just downloaded Sibelius 6 Student edition and my Logic Express 9 files are playing back with all voices as piano. What's the fix?

Hi,
you probably have to change the program select value at the start of each MIDI track and/or select another MIDI channel for this track.

Help required please with installof a Linksys Router iMac G5

Thanks in advance for any advice or help.
I wish to connect an iMAC G5 directly to a Linksys Router with 4 port switch.
Any ideas on this as the Linksys CD does not have Apple software.
Thanks
Fergal.

Welcome to the Apple Forums!
Sure, it will work. I'm uncertain as to the model that you are referring to, but generally, once you plug in your iMac to your linksys router, you will access it via your web browser at 192.168.1.1 and there is no user name and the password is Admin.
Take a peek at the documents that came with your router and look for the section called "Web based" administration and that should get you up and running.
Let us know if you have any other issues.

Garageband Files on Logic Express and vice versa

My daughter uses Logic Express at school (sorry, I don't know which version). She has been trying to do her homework on our eMac (OS 10.3.9) using Garageband 1 and her M-Audio midi/usb keyboard via USB.
Her teacher says that Garageband files should work fine with Logic Express and vice versa.
The problem is they don't. We have tried importing files, also saving in one programme and opening in the other - all to no avail.
Presumably we are doing something wrong somewhere. Does anyone know how to get Logic Express to use Garageband 1 files and vice versa, please?
One more point of information, she saves the files to a 'PikaOne Slim Flycase' 40gb Portable HD to take to school to use on an Apple Laptop type computer (Powerbook?). Both home and school machines appear to be working perfectly with this device.
She also has some software called 'Logic Hit Kit' but I don't think this is has anything to do with Logic Express. It's files do not work with Logic Express either

That is correct, and you still have your level
status, it just doesn't show. I read in The Lounge
(for level 4 & 5) that they were planning to return
the level status and custom icons to the forum. But
it has been a long time now, and they haven't. I miss
my custom icon
Yes, apparently they intend to at some point. But, they have more pressing things to attend to first, so it might be a while. I have discovered that there's a special forum about this.

Help with Logic Express 8 - Mastering Options

Hi All,
A week ago I was trying to master a track I just finished. The options were there and read something like "final hip hop...", "final electronic...", etc. I recent deleted and reinstalled Garageband (GB) as I noticed all of my GB loops and templates were gone.
When I re-entered Logic Express and tried to master my track, I noticed all of the options were gone and replace with fewer, less appealing options such as, "Enhance Deepness", "Soft Enhancer", etc.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing this or +more importantly, how to fix it???+
Please let me know.
Thanks!!!

Thanks Fox. I'm gonna actually try to Time Machine it and see if that helps. Before I did so I just wanted to see if there was a check the box time option first...
Thanks again...

Connecting Interface and recoding with Logic Express 9

Hi apologies if I've posted this in the wrong location. I need some help.
I have just bought an iMac (with Logic express 9) along with a focusrite saffire pro 14 sound interface.
i'm having difficulties getting a line in and out of the focusrite and into logic.
I currently have passive monitors plugged into an amp, which is then plugged into the headphone jack on the iMac, the focusrite is connected via firewire.
my mic is connected via xlr with phantom power into the focusrite, and my guitar (via an effect unit with built in pre-amp) is connected into the 1/4'' input. both signals are showing levels on the focusrite mixer software - but no sound. the only output from the sound interface is the firewire.
I can record, and play back in logic using my usb midi controller- USB direct into the iMac.
i've selected the focusrite as the driver in logic, also as the input device in system preferences on the iMac.
any ideas when I am doing wrong?
any help would be good
thanks
Chris

Hi,
there are some points where the big bear trap might have snapped onto your feet
First: You said you have selected the focusrite as the core audio input device in Logic. This is okay. But have you selected the correct inputs for the audio tracks you are recording to? You focusrite has 4 possible line inputs (1 and 2 are combined on the front in the middle of the XLR jacks, which are also inputs 1 and 2 for mics, and 3 and 4 are on the back).
When you connect a headphone to your focusrite, can you hear your mic or your guitar? (turn up the monitor volume as well as the headphones volume!)
Given you really have a good signal that goes into your focusrite, the same signal should be available in Logic *for the appropriate inputs* . It won't work if you have plugged your guitar into input 3 and have input 1 or 2 selected in the channelstrip's input selector tab.
Second: Given there's a signal coming into Logic, where does it go from there? The focusrite has 4 outputs, and you should connect your amp&speakers to them. If your amp&speakers are still connected to your iMac's headphone jack, you must select your Mac's "built in output" as the output device in Logic. The OS X preference pane has nothing to do with Logic's preferences. Don't confuse them.
Cheers,
Fox

I am trying to connect Garritan Personal Symphony to Logic Express and Garageband. A dialog box pops up and asks for plugin Garritan-P. Where do I find it and what do I do with it. I can't locate this plugin doing searches on any of the porgrams.

Logic Express and Garritan

I'm considering getting Logic Express 8. (Leaving the Win/pc world for my new iMac).
I have some Garritan strings I purchased and also some Giga Studio samples which I love and am accustomed to.
Does anyone know if I'll be able to use these with Logic Express 8?
Thanks, Charlie

Yes...
This copied from the Garritan Personal Orchestra:
"MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS (for Kontakt Player & Sound Library)
Running Personal Orchestra is dependent on the speed of your computer. The faster the processor the better.
2 GB of free hard disk space.
CD-ROM or DVD Drive.
Windows XP, Pentium 4 /Athlon 2.4 GHz or better is recommended.**
Mac OS 10.4 or higher (Leopard updates coming soon), G5 is minimum but may not load the full orchestra. To load a full orchestra a Mac Intelis recommended. **The Kontakt audio engine is designed to make use of the processing power of your computer's CPU. The powerful and complex algorithms of the Kontakt Player work best on modern and fast CPUs. Please also observe the systems requirements of your host application.
The Kontakt Player needs a soundcard for playing the sounds of Personal Orchestra. Standard DirectSound, MME or ASIO drivers required; Windows-compatible MIDI hardware if required.
A MIDI interface is required if you are using a MIDI keyboard, another MIDI controller or an external sequencer. The MIDI interface integrated in many sound cards can also be used.
To play the entire orchestra, we recommend 1 GB of RAM or more. There is a direct correlation between the number of instruments that can be loaded and the amount of available RAM. The more RAM available the better."

Logic Express and Silent Violins ...

Hi all,
I am new to Logic Express and try to explore it's capabilities ...
My endpoint is this: I want to be able to record a silent violin (normal analog audio output) directly as a MIDI file onto Logic Express.
I have searched the net, but have been unable sofar to find a solution. Is it possible at all? Is there a plug-in that converts WAV.files straight into MIDI as you record?
Or is there any other hardware or software based possibility?
There used to be a company by the name ZETA which produced violins with their own proprietory MIDI converter. Problem is, they are out of business and their MIDI converter was only working with their own instruments. I am looking to use a Yamaha Silent Violin to achieve that.
All help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,
there's an onboard solution from Logic: Open you recorded Audio in the sample editor. Select Factory -> audio to score. Depending on your audio material, you must fiddle around with the settings to get an acceptable result. The engine will generate a MIDI region overlapping your audio file. Drag it to a software instrument track to test the results.
Otherwise, i would recommend the Roland GK3 Guitar to MIDI converter pickup. I don't know if it works with a violin as well, but i heard of other people using it. Cost around 150-200$

Logic Express and Roland RD700

I'm new to Logic Express and have been doing quite a bit of online reading, trying to get things set up. I have a PowerBook G4, Logic Express 7, and a Roland RD-700 piano. The Roland keyboard has MIDI in/out and audio out which I've connected to my computer using a MOTU FastLane and M-Audio FireWire Solo respectively. I realize the keyboard can function as a controller (using the sounds that come with LE) or as a sound generator (using the internal sounds). What I'd like to do is to use Logic Express to compose, sequence, arrange, etc songs using the sounds from the keyboard.
Now, I know that I can change the sounds for each of my tracks by using the keyboard itself, but that gets kinda tedious - especially if I'm changing them often to see what works best. What I'd like to be able to do is to use Logic to change the keyboard's sounds... but how?!
I've done some online research, and here is the sum total of my knowledge:
- I know that my keyboard is a multi-instrument and that it appears in my Logic Environment
- Each multi-instrument has 16 sub-channels which share the 15 banks assigned to the MI instrument, and that each bank can have 128 preset names
- I know that each of the sounds in the Roland RD-700 keyboard is described by a unique combination of MSB, LSB, and Program Change numbers
- I've already copied from rolandus.com a list of all the sounds and their MSB, LSB, PC and I'm ready to paste it somewhere in Logic... but I'm not sure where/how.
And that's about all I've got. I have a feeling that the answer involves using Define Custom Bank Messages somehow, but I haven't found any clear instructions on how to do so.
If you can kindly reply, please try to be as specific/detailed as you can to help the beginning Logic user. Thanks so much!

For a start, this is the Logic Pro forum, not the Logic Express forum, you should have posted there instead.
All the stuff you are asking is in the manual. Read the sub-sections which speak about Multi instruments, particularly the section on the Multi Instrument Window (page 168).
You may, or may not, need to use Custom bank messages. It depends on whether the RD700's bank select scheme complies with the preset bank-select settings that are available in the Multi Instrument Window. (try the various roland presets in the bank select list first, and see if they address all the banks correctly)
Use the 'paste all names' command to paste the patch lists in the Multi Instrument Window, a bank at a time.

Logic Express and Presonus Firepod

I am trying to record live sound through a condenser mic running into Presonus Firepod. I am trying to use this successfully with Logic Express, but have thus far been frustrated. I have followed the suggested steps of adjusting Logic's preferences so that it recognizes and uses the Firepod, so that is not the issue. I simply cannot seem to connect any tracks to the Firepod. I know the mic and Firepod are working, because I can hear sound through my headphones, which are running through the Firepod.
Any help offered would be appreciated. If I remember correctly from other programs, I need to do something involving assigning a 'bus' to the track.

First of all check into Audio MIDI Setup (it's in the Applications/Utilities folder) if the Presonus is there and if all the channels are "visible".
After that delete Logic preferences (YourHomeDir/Library/Preferences/Logic) and launch Logic again.
Open the Audio Preferences and check if the Presonus is selected otherwise do it.
Create and audio track and in the channel strip (the first at the left) choose the input channel.
That's all.
cheers

Control surfaces with Logic Express

hello all
Im new to MAc , completely new having been PC since the year dot...Having used Cubase since atari days I have a Steinberg Houston Controller surface. Anyone know if it is possible to use it with Logic Express before I spend £150 on the programe please??

Hi,
nope, the surface wouldn't work natively on a Mac. You can only use it's MIDI features and remap the controls to functions in Logic. As long as the interface sends MIDI, this will work, but there won't be any access to the special features i guess. Guess why? Steinberg wouldn't want to provide a driver for another DAW than Cubase. Sneaky little ones they are...
But you can try to sell it through ebay.

Set-up Roland Octapad 2 with Logic Express 8

Is anyone familiar with how to set up the Roland Octapad 2 Pad-80 with Logic Express 8. I want to use it as a midi controller for some drum samples I have (not general midi drums). But like Addictive Drums or BFD Lite. I have it connected with an edirol e-mux 1x1 interface. But when I hit the pads there is no response. I have it set up in the Audio Midi set up. Are there settings within the Octapad I need to change? I've spent two hours trying to get it to respond and it's becoming a pain in the arse.
Thanks for any help.

Logic has a built-in midi monitor in the transport bar. When you hit the pads, are you seeing notes listed there?
The Octapad's model was "pad-80", and there's a manual available on the web - http://www.scribd.com/doc/8356768/ Roland-Octapad-II-PAD80OM. If you're seeing midi notes show up and can't change the settings in Addictive Drums to match them, you're going to have to change the notes on the pad -- which will probably be more difficult than doing it in the software.
