How to increase Volume in Logic Pro X without distorting?

I just recenlty converted to a MacBook Pro. I have Logic Pro X and I've noticed when I load in my Steven Slate Drummer 4, when I click on the drums they are correct volume, but playback makes them VERY quiet, along with everything else I record whether it be guitar or vocals. I NEVER had this problem with any other DAWs and I've used the same method, everyone is saying to use a Limiter, but I find this adds some distortion and makes everything sound terrible. It also barely raises the volumes, I would appreciate all help, I am currently running a home studio and I am recording several artists and really need to figure out how to make the volume normal, I've added compressors on every track to make everything a little loader but it still doesn't compare to what other DAWs put out, however spending $200 I would like to learn and continue with Logic, thanks!

That's a little odd !! Not quite sure why that wouldn't work… You have assigned your sound to the output track rather than an audio track, but that shouldn't stop it working.
On the other hand, I wouldn't have done it like that at all
I would select the midi track to convert and do a "Bounce in place".
With the default settings, Logic will create a new track with the bounce on it. You can manipulate this new bounce as you please
Have fun

    Logic Pro 9 (the DVD version) can be installed on a notebook and a desktop (2). The Mac App Store products can be installed on all Macs that you own. If you need a volume license (e.g. for a school) you should contact Apple.

    SORRY!  I thought you were referring to Logic Pro X.
    I assume the regulations will be different with earlier versions.

  • How to record guitar in Logic Pro 8

    Hi,
    Well, I´ve got a Mac Mini, Logic Pro 8, Audio Kontrol 1 audio interface, and an acoustic guitar. What I would like to do is to record my guitar songs into Logic Pro 8 and add other sound effects. My problem is, however, that I can´t figure out how to record guitar using Logic Pro 8. In the "Preferences" I choose "Core Audio" as device. I connect my guitar into the audio interface (Audio Kontrol 1) and from the audio interface to my Mac Mini using an USB.
    When I start playing, Logic Pro is silent. When I record, there is no sound. What is even more strange is that GarageBand is working perfect! So I guess it has something to do with the settings in Logic Pro 8. So, I ask you guys...do you know have to solve this problem? If so, I would be very grateful!
    Best regards,
    Tor

    Thanks guys!
    I will try this as soon as I come home!
    I will let you know how it works.

    Well, I mentioned the aggregate audio device since I saw this article. Is this possible for me? Why should I do this?

  • How can I register my Logic Pro 8

    Hi people,
    how can I register my Logic Pro 8. In the registration-system of Apple they don´t offer Logic Pro 8. There you can only choos eather Logic Pro 7 or Logic Studio.
    So what shell I do?
    Thank you for your help!
    Kind regards

    Hi
    Unless you want Logic 8 on there (which will cause a load of trouble because the Installer will not run on M Lion), just install Logic Studio (9). The installer will ask for the 9 serial and the original (8) serial.

  • HT1444 How do I upgrade my Logic Pro to Logic Pro X ?

    How do I upgrade my Logic Pro to Logic Pro X ?

    If you bought it on the Mac App Store there are terms and information on how to contact Apple.  Though I know few companies where a purchase 5-6+ months prior to a new release qualifies for a "free upgrade," but you're always welcome to try.

  • How do I make Bandstand Logic Pro 7's default GM Midi Player?

    When I import a GM Midi file into Logic Pro 7 the tracks appear near the bottom of the page as part of the midi channels rather than in the section 'Inst 1 - Inst 8' (which I'm sure is what they're supposed to do).
    I can find Bandstand when I change, for example, Track 22 (Clean Gt) into 'Inst 1' and then open up the Mixer and follow the I/O path > Stereo > AU Instruments > Native Instruments > Bandstand, and the track will then play
    the correct GM Midi sound using Bandstand.
    However I was under the impression that I could make any newly imported GM Midi file always automatically play GM Midi Bandstand-generated sounds.
    If I go into the Environment, select Midi Instr. > New > Internal > Apple Quicktime I can instantly make all tracks on the imported GM Midi file play perfectly using Quicktime (although I still seem to have to do this each
    time I open a new track rather than Logic default to Quicktime for any newly imported Midi file).
    After installation I was expecting to find Bandstand alongside Apple Quicktime and ReWire, given that the instructions say that Bandstand will automatically integrate with Logic - but it's not there!
    However I don't want Logic to default to QuickTime, I want Logic to play imported midi files perfectly using Bandstand each time without having to make any adjustments. I have been told this is possible. I just can't work out how!
    I hope someone can help! Ean ([email protected])

    Hi Ean
    I don’t own Bandstand but I have been looking at it lately, and I know you can open and play standard midi files right from the player section on the bottom right hand side of the interface.
    When you import a midi file each midi channel, (1-16) defaults to a midi track for playback. since Bandstand is a VI you need to set it up similarly to the way the quicktime instrument is set up
    In the midi layer of your environment, create a multi instrument, and name it Bandstand. set the midi out port to off and turn on each midi channel of the multi by clicking each one. Put an audio instrument object in the layer next to the multi and in the I/O select bandstand as the instrument. connect a cable from out of the multi to the input of the audio instrument.
    if this is the only multi in your environment, when you import a midi file it should default to these tracks
    I know this works for other mutitambril VI’s. hopefully this will work for Bandstand
    By the way.. how do you like Bandstand? are the sounds real good?

  • How to disable echo in logic pro x?

    I got for christmas logic pro x and ive been playing around with it quite a bit. Ive been using the Boutique 808 in drum machines and ive noticed that every time I hit a key for an instrument (such as a hi hat) there is a slight echo to the note. Ive been looking everywhere in the program to disable this echo. ive even started new projects but the echo is still there. I was wondering how to disable/get rid of this echo in the track temporarily or even for good. Please respond ASAP. Thanks!!

    Hi
    The Boutique 808 Patch is a Track Stack. Open the Stack by clicking on the arrow in the Track Header, then open the Mixer. There is a Delay Designer plugin on the HiHat output channel.
    Turn it off by Option Clicking on the plugin.

  • HT1338 how can I upgrade my Logic Pro 6

    I bought the Logic 6 years ago, how can I upgrade this now?
    robert

    You'll need to buy a new copy of Logic Pro if you want anything newer. Logic 6 was discontinued eight years ago, so no updates will be available for it. Logic Pro 9 is available through the Mac App Store.

  • How to open kontakt in logic pro 9 on lion os

    How to open kontakt player in logic pro 9 on lion osx...???
    I have installed the player but it doesnt show up in logic..
    what do i do??

    Hi
    Assuming that you are looking for Kontakt Player in the right place (Click hold the I/O slot on an instrument channel), and it is not there???
    Go to Logic Pro:Preferences:Audio Unit Manager, and see if it is listed in there
    Make sure you have installed the latest version of KP

  • How to increase volume on an imported mp3?

    I've been sent some mp3 tracks to mix into a song but when I import them into GB they are very quiet. Even with the volume on the invidual tracks up full they are still only barely registering on the meters. I can't really get the files sent again as the guy who is producing them is not computer savvy and says he just creates a file and saves it as an mp3, he doesn't know how to increase the volume of the saved file.
    Is there any easy way to bring up the volume? I've tried the suggestions in the manual about compression and EQ but the sound changes and I want to keep the sound as it is, I just want it louder.
    Cheers
    Dick

    I wonder what would happen if you increse the level all that you can (without messing up the sound) and then export to itunes, then, export that file back into a new garageband project and repeat the proccess. Probably result in massive distortion due to the gain, but it might be worth a shot.

  • How can I re-install logic pro 9.1.1 if i don't like using 9.1.4? i get a "your computer doesn't need this update" message

    I wonder how to re-install logic pro 9.1.1 if i don't like using 9.1.4 (when i duplicate a track the sound of the whole project disappear, I also have issues with the reverse fonction, there s no sound coming out of the track? when I try to re install the 9.1.1 i get a "your computer doesn't need this update" message

    You would probably have to use a time machine backup if you have one.
    This probably isn't a bright idea :
    Can you uninstall Logic.
    Reinstall it.
    And when you search for updates, only install 9.1.1 ?

  • HT5809 How can I open Logic Pro X without any bus sends assigned?

    Hi, I was used to work in Logic Pro 9 with my channel strip clean for every track and work my way through depending on my project, but using Logic Pro X every time I open it or any track, it comes with 2 bus sends and I don't want this to happen, how can I solve this? thanks!

    When I load an Audio or Software Instrument track there is 1 unused send on the Channel Strip in my Track Inspector and/or 2 in the Mixer view. They are unassigned which is good and no problem, they are ready to be used.  They only get autofilled if I select a "Patch" from the Library.  If you've opened a project from a Template, it likely has a Patch already assigned to a track/channel strip.

  • How to obtain dmg for logic pro 9

    Hi
    I have a volume licence agreement for Logic Pro 9 that was purchased March 2012.
    When installing Logic Pro 9 on our iMac's we did so from the App Store. We have recently purchased some more iMac's and want to install Logic Pro 9 but do not have an installation disk / dmg file. I have checked the App Store but cannot see anything for Logic Pro 9, is it possible to download this?
    I should say that the new iMac's have been updated to OS X Mavericks 10.9.1!
    Regards
    David

    I thought that was where i would end up going :-)
