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...

  • Please help with Logic Express 7 and using DFH plugin!

    Hey guys, I'm really in a tight spot here as I have no idea how to get my setup working properly. I recently bought an entirely new Imac, Logic Express 7, and a drum plugin called Drumkit From **** Superior (VSTi I believe is the type of plugin they call it). It is supposed to be compatable but I see no way to get it to show up as a plugin. I tried some other programs and it shows up as a plugin and I'm able to get into the interface, but I can't in LE7.
    It is supposed to be compatable as a "rewire" plugin or something like that, but I'm not too sure how to approach that differently, both manuals are very vague.
    Basically, I'm wondering:
    1. How would I go about getting Drumkit From **** Superior to show up as a "plugin" (and what it would be under) if I have to use it a "rewire"?
    2. If I could get it running as a plugin, how would I go about programming a drum part using that "drumkit" in Logic Express?
    Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

    It's a tough one man, I'm actually wanting to go for EZdrummer which I think comes under the same umbrealla as DFH, the patch will come to let you upgrade to intel hopefully by September so hold onto that plug in as I think it'll be worth it in the long run. In the mean time do you have any other options to make beats?
    I use Reason 3.0, I sequence my beats using Reason Drum Kits 2.0 and export them as WAV or AIFF files into Logic, do you have anything similar that you can do? write you beats else where and import into Logic?

  • Help with Logic Express 8

    I am new to Logic Express 8. I Need help finding the tempo that I used to record an audio track. I recorded a guitar track and can't remember what tempo or the bp (beats per minute) setting I used when recording this track. Is there a way to retrieve this information and find out what the setting was when I recorded this so that I can match it to other audio or midi track recordings. Is there a way to make sure all tracks whether they are audio or midi match as far as the tempo? Thanks for your help.

  • Please help with Logic Express 8 language support - requires little effort

    Dear fellow musicians, I plan to buy Logic Express, but as I live in a country you probably have never heard of (Moldova) I only have the chance to buy it while traveling.
    So, I am going to Paris soon and this is a perfect occasion to purchase the software - the only thing I am concerned is whether the french version of Logic express also supports the English language just like garage band and other apple apps.
    So, could you please check what languages are supported by Logic Express?
    It is simple to do - just go to the applications folder, Ctrl click on the Logic Express 8 application and unfold the languages triangle (if there's any).
    I'd be more than lucky if someone owning a french version does that to confirm whether there's English among the supported languages.
    Thanks!

    checked in my application folder but I don't see the languages option. However my English version provides French support, and my pretty clued up about apple things guess (but it is a guess) is that it's the same package and the installer just picks up the default language of the machine you're installing it on. And if you've got experience of other French versions of apple software being OK then it's a pretty safe bet that Logic will too. Can you not order an English version over the internet if you're really concerned ?
    By the way, I know where Moldova is! Even been thinking about traveling there sometime soon

  • 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.

  • 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)?

  • 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

  • Mac game loaded with logic express, now its asking me for license key

    My macbook came loaded with logic express 3 years ago, been working completely fine. Until today, where upon opening it asks me for the registration key which, if I don't, will not allow me to use the program. I don't have a registration key because I didn't purchase the software separately, and why it is asking for it now (after 3 years of usage) is beyond me.
    Thoughts?

    You should have the key with your documentation & install disk. However, if you haven't got it with your MB, call apple support. They are the only ones who can help you.

  • HT3423 My iMac came with logic Express 8 installed, how do I get it to work on my mac book pro

    My iMac came with Logic Express 8 Pre installed. How do I get it to work on my Mac Book Pro

    Along with your OS and applications installation DVDs, you should have gotten an LE8 installation DVD along with its manual and serial numbers when you bought your iMac. 
    Your license allows you to install LE8 on two computers as long as they are your computers, you are the sole user, and you do not run Logic on both simultaneously. So dig out your installation DVD, install it on your MacBook Pro and enter your serial number and you will be good to go.

  • Sync microKorg with Logic Express 9

    I'm trying to sync the arpeggiator of my microKorg XL with Logic Express 9, using Logic as the master. I seem to have almost done it, in that tempo changes in Logic change the microKorg's tempo. However, I can only hear the microKorg whilst I'm either recording or playing back - I can't hear it if I press a few keys.
    I think the problem lies in that I have "Local off" set in accordance with the microKorg manual. The manual says I should also "turn on echo back" on the computer - but I don't know how to do this in Logic Express.
    Grateful for advice.

    When you set "Local Off" in any synth with MIDI capability, it disconnects synth's keyboard from its sound engine. Switch it back ON to be able to play sounds again using microKorg's keyboard. There is no point to disable the keyboard in your case anyways. Unless of course, you want to avoid midi-loop (but that's only when you have both MIDI IN and MIDI OUT wired to Logic).

  • What's the best controller keyboard to run with Logic Express?

    I am a composer of mostly acoustic/classical music and was wondering about best user friendly controller keyboard for Logic Express. Does anyone have any recommendations? I am not a rocket scientist when it comes to working with connections, so I need something real easy in a 61 or 76 key synthesizer/controller. jack

    Cant really answer thatqestion in terms of the "best to use" with logic express, however, im in the opposite postion as you in the sense that im using logic with a motif 6 and want to sell it, and just get a controller. I produce hip hop, and have always prefered the sounds in the triton to the ones in the motif.....fo waht im using it for at least.

  • Syncing Fast Track Ultra (Slave) With Logic Express (Master)

    I'm trying to get my fast track to slave with Logic Express, using Logic as the master. It doesn't appear to be sending out any messages. On my fast track I can get the midi 'in' light to blink but not the 'out.' in Logic, the transport bar on the bottom, says 'no midi' for both the in and the out. Does this sound like a Logic setup issue or a fast track ultra setup issue?

    Hi,
    1st: You need to set your drum machine clock to external. That's important if you want to make Logic the master. Be aware any clock signal only is available when Logic is in play mode (naturally, but sometimes i forget even the most logical things).
    2nd: In the Audio-Midi-Setup, the Fast Track should be displayed. Open the MIDI window (Window-> show MIDI window). Click on the "add device" icon. A new device will be added (new external device). Now open the inspector for this new device. You can name it, adjust all these things like MIDI clock send/receive and other gizmos and give it a nice icon. Now you must "connect" this new device with you Fast track by simpy dragging a line from it's outputs to the Fast track input and vice versa. The MIDI setup window will now represent your hardware's cabeling.
    Once you have done this correctly, you should be able to correctly select the Drum machine in Logic.

  • 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.

  • Can I use MainStage 2 with Logic Express 9.1.6

    Is it possible to use MainStage 2 with Logic Express 9.1.6.?  Are there any limitations to not having Logic Pro 9.  I'm very happy with LE9.1.6. as it meets all my needs (perhaps with the exception of not having Space Designer) but if I need to upgrade to get the most out of MainStage 2 then I will.
    Thanks.

    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....

  • Does mainstage work with logic express 9

    hi ,  do all the features and plug-ins work with logic express 9 or are some features disabled .
    or are they not compatible at all
    thanks

    I have just spoken to two supervisors and 4 underlings about this exact concern and they ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO BUDGE in regard to a sidegrade or smaller upgrade fee. I have been a loyal Mac user, ****, an EVANGELIST since 1990, spent well over 100 grand on the apple products I needed and I tried being super polite, explained that I had barely had a chance to learn a thing about Express since I bought it in the store after realizing that there was no way I could afford the Logic Pro 9 box sitting next to it.
    THE ANSWER IS IF YOU WANT THE NEW, CHEAPER VERSION OF LOGIC PRO 9 AND MAINSTAGE, YOU NEED TO TOSS OUT YOUR ALREADY CANCELLED LOGIC EXPRESS 9 DISKS, FORGET YOU BOUGHT THEM IF YOU CAN, AND, IF YOU WERE DOWNSIZED LIKE I WAS 3 YEARS AGO BECAUSE MY BACK GAVE OUT...
    GO AHEAD. SEE IF YOU CAN KEEP YOURSELF FROM THROWING UP WHEN YOU HIT THAT PURCHASE BUTTON ON THE TWO PROGRAMS THEY REDUCED IN PRICE.
    REMEMBER, THOUGH...IT IS NOT LOGIC STUDIO YOU ARE GETTING. THEY SPLIT THE BOX UP SO THE REMAINDER OF THE SOFTWARE IN IT WENT INTO FINAL CUT PRO. THE ORIGINAL BOX YOU CAN STILL GET FOR $500 UNTIL THEY SELL OUT.
    DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER. THIS IS ONE ANGRY EX-EVANGELIST WHO NO LONGER HAS ANY REVERENCE LEFT FOR APPLE. I GUESS WHEN THEY LOST STEVE, THEY LOST TOO MUCH. SOMETHING IS VERY, VERY WRONG ABOUT THIS POLICY. SCREW THE PEOPLE WHO SPENT THE WHOLE AMOUNT, NOBODY AT APPLE REALLY CARES ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT WHAT IS LEFT IN YOUR WALLET.
    SORRY FOR THE RANT, BUT I AM IN SHOCK AFTER THE LAST TWO HOURS OF TRYING TO GET THEM TO SEE HOW WRONG THIS POLICY IS.
    WE HAVE BEEN SHAFTED, BIG TIME. IN THIS ECONOMY, THAT IS ONE HUGE INSULT IMHO.
    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.
