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....

*NYLPUG is brought to you by Mac Audio Trainers.*

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..?

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 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 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!

New to Logic Pro Need Help

I have had fun fooling around with loops and building songs that way, but I have yet to figure out how to get a guitar input set up. I am using the Apogee interface. I know about setting up the audio in preferences, but after that I am lost. Can anyone give me a hint? It would be most appreciated.

Okay, I have read the manuel stuff. Even taken online tutorials. I am a pretty smart guy, at least that's what others have said. But I just can't figure this out.
Like I said, I am using Apogee hooked up to a fairly new MacBook Pro. I know the hardware is good. I have used the Apogee interface to record onto Garage Band, at least with a microphone. Like I say, I have Apogee set as input in the audio preferences. I arm the track and hit record, the metronome ticks and the track records a blank.

Basic Logic Pro Questions. I Am New To It

Running OS 10.7.4
Hello....I am new to Logic Pro, graduating up from GB. I have few simple questions that I will ask on my next One to One, but I thought someone in Logic Pro Land can help for now. Just be patient I am trying to understand concepts
1. My One to One instructor here in NYC, down in the SoHo Store ( the best), helped me create a templete track, so I never have to listen to clicks or a metronome again ( I do VOs)....
2. I have done some recordings on that template I saved it as COMPING, as that's what I want to learn at my next one to one.... That track is my Logic Pro file in music.
3. Based on that, all I want to do now is duplicate the template track. Is there a way to do that?
My own logic tells me...well if the track is saved under COMPING, all you got to do is launch Logic Pro.... the last track will come up (COMPING)..... so just delete the contents ( since it's saved) record what you want to record, and save it under a different name...for the sake of simplicity, let's say I want to call it VO Track Number 2.....that track will appear in my folder under VO Track Number 2.....Is this correct?
4. Barring that, is there another way of just duplcating the template track without having to name it something all the time, or perhaps name different duplicate tracks, Track 2, 3, 4, etc.?
Recording questions
I recorded take one of a beer commercial. When I stoped the recording the head was right at the end where I stopped...when I went to record take 2, instead of just contuning, it back tracked a bit so the last few words on take 1 were recorded over.
1. WHY?
2. How do I prevent that from happening?
In GB, the recording just picked up where I left off, never back tracked...
Anyanswers, greatly appreciated...

Next time, make a copy of your template before you record anything, in fact, save it as a template so a pristine copy will always be available under the "Templates" menu item. Then start the first project as VO-1 then VO-2...etc. Never start a project and save it the same name as your template.
Now you have to go in and remove the files from the arrange and Audio Bin or else they will stay associated with the project.
As for the recording, the last few words were not recorded over, they were just covered up.
The back tracking is due to the one bar count-in or you have some "preroll" set. Does it backtrack 1 bar?
I think the adjustment is under "Settings/Recording".
I'll let others jump in and fill in the holes.

Logic Pro X - How do I record my voice over existing tracks (via a mike and audio interface) without hearing those tracks on the speaker. I have headphones plugged into the interface but it doesn't stop in coming out of the speakers?

I'm new to Logic Pro X and can't work out how to record my voice over existing tracks without them playing over the speaker. I'm using a Sure mike through an audio interface and have headphones plugged into the interface?

Hi Kevin, what kind of audio interface do you have?

Logic Pro X is out

According to this website http://www.fcp.co/final-cut-pro/news/1178-logic-pro-x-released-by-apple it is how ever not to be found yet on Apple Websites. The price says 199 dollars.

Thanks. This has been already said in the Logic forums. Logic Pro X is still not available at the Apple website, but can be purchased at the Mac App Store now. It requires a Mac with a 64-bit processor, OS X 10.8.4 and 4 GB of RAM or more

Compatible Plug-ins for Logic Pro X?

Hello Apple Community,
     I am new to Logic Pro X, I am coming from Pro Tools. The only reason why I have purchased Logic Pro is for composing music. I love Pro Tools only for recording audio, mixing, and mastering. I was wondering if anyone knew if the following Plug-in companies are compatible with Logic Pro X. Waves, iZotope, Native Instruments Komplete 9, Universal Audio (UAD).
     If these are not compatible, if you could let me know what plug-in companies are it would be very much appreciated.
     Thanks!

They all make OS X compatible plugins. Logic uses the AU (Audio Unit) format, so VST plugins won't work. For UAD I believe you need extra hardware.

Logic Pro X - Cannot see multiple input options

Hello,
I've been using other DAWs(DP and Studio One 2) but I decided to try Logic Pro X and purchased it yesterday.
I'm using a firewire audio interface which has multiple input options. For example, Ch1 and Ch2 are for mic inputs, ch3 and ch4 are for my external sound module (Yamaha Motif Rack), etc.
I tried to play and record the sound module on Logic, I first added "New External Midi Track". Then, I added "New Audio Track" to record the sound of sound module, like I do on other DAWs. I tried to select the ch 3-4 as an input for the audio track, however I could only see the input ch1-2 as an option for the track.
The audio interface's driver is installed correctly. In fact, I can use the input ch 3-4 with no problem on other DAWs.
Since I'm new to Logic Pro, I might have overlooked how to assign / setup the inputs.
Can anybody let me know how I can activate input ch3-4 on Logic Pro X?
Thanks in advance.
-Holly

Yeah, after I wrote the post, I found out that this happened because "built-in input" was chosen as a default input source on "Preferences -> Audio". That's why it only showed ch1-2. Now I chose my audio interface as the default input and I could see other channels.
That's good, however this brought up a new question, if I want to use multiple input options such as two audio interfaces or combination of built-in input and an audio interface, is it possible to do so?

I am new to Logic Pro X.
