I am new to Logic Pro X. I am getting a 60 cycle hum, when trying to record humbucker equipped guitars.

I am using a new 27' IMac and an Avid fastrack 600 interface with Logic Pro X. I am getting a substantial amount of 60 cycle hum from both of my humbucker equipped guitars. I have experienced this with single coil p/us but never on HBs, at least to this extent. It varies in volume (the Hum) when rotating the guitar neck from side to side. Is there something unique about an IMac that could cause this?? Or maybe this interface?? Thanks.

I had that many years back, just made sure everything (Mac, Mixer, Guitar Pedal, Speakers) was coming through the same mains socket and completely shielded my guitar internals - Sorted it out straight away.
Changed pots in the process too, and my guitar (Tele Deluxe 72) saaaaaang after that!
My next step was to get a power conditioner with plenty of ac sockets, but never needed it in the end.
Does it stop if you put your hands on something metal? i.e. on the strings?

I can't say enough good things about Redmatica, and Andrea in particular.
I've found and reported a handful of issues I found in Keymap, and in each case I had the issue confirmed, and a new build sent to me at most within a couple of days, often much sooner, with the issue fixed. If only Apple were more like that...
Keymap is a stunning piece of software that, in conjunction with Logic (or other soft samplers) make creating sampled instrument content (almost) a pleasure.
Have a good one - do you video these sessions for people who can't attend..?

I am new to Logic Pro X.

I am recently new to Logic Pro X. I have never used production software before so everything is very new to me. I have been watching a lot of tutorials (learn to crawl before you can run). But I have noticed that the layout of my Logic is different to the others in the tutorials. Mine has sort of a brown boarder on the sides of the screen and when I first open up Logic everything is fine, I click 'Empty Project' but from here things look different to everyone elses.
After clicking 'Empty Project' another screen opens that lets you choose from Software Instrument, Audio, Drummer etc.. On others Logic it just comes up as individual boxes for each subject.. But on my Logic it comes up something similar but only it has 3 big pictures of instuments.
It looks a lot like garage band and it is really annoying me because when I am watching tutorials and trying to go along with them it is hard to keep track.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help.
The way I want my Logic to be.The way that it is.

You are running Logic Pro X in "Garage Band Pro" mode.... (You choose this option during install.. when it asked if you had ever used LPX before..) which is a cut down version of LPX with a lot of advanced features and abilities turned off....
So.. to turn on "Logic Pro X" Mode..... and activate all the features you are missing...
Go to Logic's preferences/Advanced tab (In the menu bar) and check all the options.....
I would restart LPX after doing so..... and open a new project.... and you will be good to go....

I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, then cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder ad multiple song files. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler. I get the message "nothing to display" or "no region or audio file selected" After much research on the web, I believe this is a permanent bug. Does anyone have a good work-around for this type of work. We record live 16T band rehearsals constantly and would love to be able to break individual songs out of the large file and be able to use the sampler. Thanks in advance for your ideas! Cheers.

Another thing - if I copy one of the tracks to another track, then the sample editor works on the copied track. I don't want to have to copy 16 tracks to new tracks to be able to use the sample editor on a project. Thanks again.

Had a recent crash on my macbook, was previously using OS 10.6 I think. Restored from recent Time Machine backup and updated to OS 10.8.2 and now I cannot open Logic Pro 9. I get a 'No entry' Icon and a not supported on this type of Mac message. I cannot update either as anything up to 9.1.1 tells me I don't need it yet 9.1.2 tells me I need an eligable Logic Pro Version was not found in applications.
All of my files are stored in a separate hard drive with only the actual app having been on my Macbook. Should I just reinstall?

Hi
To run Mouitain Lion you need to update Logic.
For the updaters to work the Logic application must be:
a) Within the Applications folder, and not in any sub-folder
b) Named "Logic Pro" with no extra numbers or spaces

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your Mac and into iTunes.

Once you have successfully done that you can go ahead and choose Erase and Sync when you plug your iPod in.

Try signing out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again and see if that works for you.
Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap your ID and sign out.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Sign in again -Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign in.
If that doesn't work either, reset your iPad and see if that helps.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Hi therem, new to logic pro, a few problems, can anyone help?

hi there, when i try import a audio file it asks, what kind of file is this, and gives only the option to abort, how do i get around this? also so far each time i save a song, the next time i try to reopen it it says the songs damaged, and after that it says my project manager needs to rescan ( witch i have done) but then logic goes mental , 1 i cant open any instuments and 2 the grafics go a bit weird,
i have totally reintalled it twise. ive reset my preffences and it works, but only untel i try load a song and it crashes,
oh and every file i have tried to bounce, wont work, even a wave file transfered to my pc doesnt work,
please if any one can help, i would be really grateful

I can only offer my own experience, sometime ago Logic started to act weird Flashingg, crashing. So my solution was drastic. I decided to re-install OSX . I did and re-insatll Logic Pro and all my plugins. After that everything was OK. I dont know what was wrong , Mac Pro is New there are bugs. It took me three days to re-install everything but it was a good thing. Now Logic is OK. In My case it happen rigth after a connected a Mackie control and extender.
So I downloaded the new Midi drivers from Mackie
Good luck.

New to Logic Pro 8 HELP PLEASE!

Hello,
I have just recentley purchased Logic Pro 8 and have been amazed with its endless posabilities. I currentley run a sinmple M-Audio USB interface in to my Macbook. I am looking to take my equiptment to the next level and am wondering if anyone has had experience with and could offer suggestions on what new recording gear to purchase.
I realize that I will need to take things firewire in to my G4. Any suggestions on Interfaces, Mixers, Moniters, Computers, Microphones, and any other software would be a great help to me.
Thanks in advance,
-Mike

Some more expensive suggestions:
*Get ADAM speakers, nearfield or midfield, the best monitors I've used in my life ( I use the S2,5A + subwoofer)
*The RME Fireface 800 is a great Audio Interface with very good preamps
*The U87 microphone by Neumann is a great condensor microphone which you can use for all sorts of tasks
*Not knowing what kind of music you produce/make it's hard to give advice on 3rd Party Plug Ins for sound creation and sound processing, if you're into sampling get Kontakt 3 by Native Instruments, Logic's EXS is sort of very outdated, also NI's Reaktor is a fantastic modular app providing you with all sorts of different synths/processors/sample manglers/delay/reverbs and stuff you've never even heard of, you can also build your own Instruments with Reaktor

I am completely new to Logic pro x. Can anyone help me on what to do and how to start making basic beats?

I just purchased a mac and bought Logic Pro X. I have used fruity loops a little bit but this is completely different. Can anyone help me on getting started to make basic beats or anything?

Just a suggestion. You can pick up Apple Pro Training Series Logic Pro 9 & Logic Express 9 (iBooks or Amazon). It will be a good start as the versions are somewhat similar. It may be a while till something more current and specific will be out for learning Logic Pro X from the ground up.
There are few Youtube sources are available as well.

Relatively new to Logic Pro. When I'm trying to punch/record into a track, I can't hear the previous existing track until I'm recording. But, it plays back fine. I'd just like to hear before the punch in. Help? Sounds like a preference thing.

Logic Pro 9

It sounds like you may have toggled the input monitoring - there's a little button with an 'I' on it on the track header which toggles monitoring between what's been recorded and the actual input on your sound card. If it isn't there, right (or cntrl) click and choose 'Configure Track Header' - you can add it in the selections that appear there.

HELP, NEW TO LOGIC PRO X, HOW DO I USE THIS THING???!

I just downloaded Logic Pro X, thanks to the update of Mavericks disabling my ProTools which I've been using for 4 yrs. So I dont even really know where to go from there as far as Protools. Anyway, I downloaded Logic Pro X, so how do I record on it, using an 003 rack & roland fantom g8. I tried it already & have no idea what I'm doing. I can't even get any sound out of my roland. How different is it than protools, and what do I have to do to record some tracks? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

......Not doing much recording these days, it's all gone to either the big studios or folks are doing homebrew. I purchased some used cheap synth modules on ebay and filled my rack back up, mainly taking it easy, enjoying playing guitar.....
Likewise over here Pancenter, occasionally a few (classical music oriented mostly)recording productions, thats it. My main activity has also shifted to mainly title editing and mastering, which is not my thing really, but anyway good to here things are going well and I wish I could earn my money playing guitar. The last time I tried that, had eventually resulted in the rec engineer taking over my guitar job and I occupy his chair in the studio since……..(This sounds funnier then it was!)
One of my last guitar productions on CD featured Max Herzog - Flamenco guitar, he should be touring in your part of the world at the moment and if you have the time you should definitely check him out. He is in dire need of someone recording his stuff but has not the time to stay long enough in one place. You could do him an offer maybe and when done I'll do the editing and mastering when he comes to Holland again. Well, think about it……
And I also would like to apologize to anybody who thinks this is not the appropriate place to talk about stuff like that!
I got a bit carried away…………
Have a nice day!

Purchased full retail Logic Pro 8; can't get rid of academic serial number

I had originally purchased the *Academic version*, entered the serial number, but *aborted the install* without going beyond entering the serial number when I found out from this forum that I would never be able to upgrade the software unless I paid the extra $50 now for the Full Retail version.
I *bought the full retail version* $499 (returning the not-installed academic program $449,) proceeded with the >4 hour install, only to find that *I cannot update the serial number* to the full retail serial number. I tried uninstalling using appzapper, it only deleted 384MB of the 40 GB install, and then it took the same >4 hours to re-install - still with no chance to enter the full retail serial number.
Does anyone know how to update Logic Pro 8's serial number or to do a *re-install that will force me to re-enter the serial number*?
--R

The program is exactly the same, it's only the serial number that you need to dump. So no need to uninstall or reinstall Logic, just leave it as it is. App Zapper won't find the file that contains the serial number, I've checked. Hence your problem.
Very easy fix. Go to Users/YOUR USER/Library/Preferences/Logic. Inside that folder will be 'com.apple.logic.pro' and 'com.apple.logic.pro.cs'. I can't remember which is the serial, but just dump both, start Logic, and it will ask for your serial again. Put it in, and it will create a new one of those with your correct serial. And you're done.
NOTE - Inside the Preferences folder mentioned above, there may be some preference files with the same names, but those aren't the ones you're looking for. You need to look *inside the LOGIC FOLDER that is contained within the Preferences folder mentioned above*. Others have made this mistake.
Good Luck!

I bought Logic Pro 9 in May and haven't had time to use it... And now they have Logic Pro X. Can I get a refund and buy X? I feel a bit ripped off as it stands now.

Can someone help? I feel bummed and a bit ripped off. I'd like to have Logic Pro X now, with all it's nice new features. I bought Logic 9 in May and haven't had time to even look at it. You think apple will offer people like me a refund? I hope so. I just don't feel it's right to charge so much for the upgrade.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Apple offered a refund for users who purchased Logic Pro 9 30 days or less before the Logic Pro X launch, but they don't do it anymore, so if you want to upgrade to Logic Pro X, you have to purchase it in the Mac App Store
Part of this is incorrect...
Some App Store employee's "accidentally" (but in good faith) issued refunds to a few users who had purchased Logic 9 within 30 days prior to the mid-July release of Logic-X. Word quickly came down from Apple HQ that this was against App Store policy and the practice was immediately stopped.
To the original poster.. you never stood a chance, even if they were issuing refunds you didn't fall within the 30 day period. There were many who purchased Logic 9 a few days before the LX release who did not get a refund.

I am new to Logic Pro X. I am getting a 60 cycle hum, when trying to record humbucker equipped guitars.
