I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop? My sound is running through the Saffire Pro 40 Interface (Focusrite) into external speakers with powered amps.
Also, When I record I am hearing little pops in the system. I have checked all of my meters and they are not clipping. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop?

Pancenter,
Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tristan
Tristan...
This is what you have, correct?
http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
This from Alesis..
"The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

With software 5 I now have to pair it every time in Bluetooth, it's a pain. was great in the past never had to do it. HELP

I have deleted all other devices so clear of anything and then paired my iPhone 4 and will work just fine, but when i shut down the Jeep and come back later it doesn't automatically re-connect. i have to turn off bluetooth on the phone, turn it back on, and reconnect again and will work.
How would I find out and update the software to my 2011 Jeep Liberty's Uconnect system? Do I call someone or do something directly in the Jeep on the Uconnect system?
Thanks for the help, its greatly appreciated.

I am unable to update any add-ons at all. Every time I try and install an add-on or even the new "show hidden add-ons" add-on, I get a server error. How do I fix this?

You may have triggered some intermittent database issues but it should be running smooth by now. Let us know if you still see server errors.
Also, if your addons appear to go missing after updating there is a workaround http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/09/28/issue-discovered-with-firefox-add-on-upgrades/ And there is a 7.0.1 fix on its way.

Problems recording with Logic Pro 8

I just purchased an Aluminum MacBook 2.4 GHz (2 GB memory) and Logic Pro Studio. I couldn't justify spending the extra cash on a MacBook Pro as the specs are way too similar nowadays.......except for Firewire. I didn't think I'd need a Firewire port as USB 2.0 is supposed to be faster than Firewire 400. So I have an audio interface connected via USB 2.0 and a 1 TB external hard drive running at 7200 RPM also connected via USB 2.0. Problem is, each track in Logic takes forever to load before it records (i.e. I press record and have to wait like a minute before the recording begins), and subsequent tracks added are not recording or working properly. I'm recording everything to the external hard drive and now am thinking the USB 2.0 is not fast enough for recording processes. But if USB 2.0 is faster than Firewire 400, why should I be having this trouble? Do you need Firewire 800 to record to an external hard drive properly?
I'm beside myself thinking that I just purchased a $500 program and won't be able to run it on my MacBook the way I intended. It seems like the computer should be able to handle the workload of the program. Would swapping out the internal hard drive for a 7200 RPM drive work for recording as long as I immediately backed up the data on the external drive to save space? What about upgrading to 4 GB of memory? Will I have trouble regardless as long as I am recording several tracks on one song?
I can't tell if this is a hardware problem or not. Maybe my problem is I had this grand idea in my head that I'd be able to max out Logic Pro on a MacBook just like I could on a Mac Pro Desktop. But I've seen friends of mine max out Pro Tools on OLDER MacBook Pros; what gives? Any and all insight/help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah i just reformatted the external hard drive and am going to attempt recording again tomorrow. I have a Seagate external drive that's supposed to be Mac compatible, but I've reformatted it twice. I've read that if the format is not correct then you're going to have recording problems. If that doesn't work then I'll try the internal HD and look into a different external drive.
I know that USB 2.0 is only "theoretically" faster than Firewire 400, but I'd like to find a USB external HD that is known to support the highest USB speeds available. But I dunno if USB 2.0 has a protocol that supports 2 way data transfer like Firewire, so I'm not sure how much it would matter.

If I use the function to align adjacent fields, or the function to match size, duplicate fields are created. How can I get this to stop?

I have a form that consists of columns and rows of fillable fields. When I use the edit function to make the height of the fields the same, or make the widths of the different columns of fields the same, or align the fields vertically or horizontally, duplicate fields are created. If these fields have a box around them, all of the duplicate fields' boxes are shown. The field names have the same base name, but have a suffix that is sequentially numbered. If I delete the "lower" numbered suffix names (with the same base name), the resulting field does not appear on the form.
What is going on with the alignment or size process. I do use the CTRL-Click function to select the group of fields I am trying to size or align. If using the selection of multiple fields should be done differently, how can it be done?

No. That's not what's happening. The duplicate fields are ONLY created after I employ the alignment or sizing functions. Weird.
I was hoping that this was the result of some kind of setting in Acrobat, or that the duplicate fields would disappear when saving the form, but that's not what happened.
Thanks for your input, however.

What OS?

I have Ubuntu 10.10 every time there is a system update it tries to reinstall the core and trunk of firefox and its unity ap help stuff. How do I fix this?

In Linux this is an update every week. or every day if you so choose it. Mine seems to constantly give me the firefox core Trunk and support for unity App menu every single time. I am using FF 5. Ubuntu 10.10 isn't a unity App user OS. When I ask Ubuntu forums they say Ask you. Please don't say.. Ask them.

You can check the home page setting and set another page as the home page.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
That text about not running the latest Firefox version is in the code of the www.google.com/firefox site that previous Firefox 3 versions use as the home page and Google doesn't seem to maintain that page anymore.<br />
Current Firefox 4+ versions no longer use that Google site as the home page, but use the build-in about:home page as the home page.<br />
Google assumes that you use an older Firefox version if you still visit that site and warns you that you use an older Firefox version and suggests to update.

Is anyone using the novation impulse keyboard with Logic pro x?

is anyone using the novation impulse keyboard with Logic pro x?
I currently have an M-Audio Axium controller but I cannot map any of the controllers.
I need to buy a 25 key controller anyway so I was hoping to get one that works well with Logic Pro X

I have the Logitech S530 keyboard and mouse. I had no problems with it while I was using it with 2 PowerMac G5 and one Dell XPS, but when I got the MacPro I found that it doesn't work with MacPro and a KVM switch. Logitech says their keyboard and mice are NOT made to work with KVM switches, but I didn't find that until I started using it with the Mac Pro.
The other small con is that the mouse is made for right handed people. On the other hand, I love the looks and feel of the keyboard and all the keys. It also will do the boot up holding down the Option key for choosing your startup drive and holding down the Shift key for Safe Mode, which the Kensington keyboard will not do.

Hi I am attempting to use a Zed R-16 with Logic Pro 9, how can I setup a bounce for output 17-18 this is where the mixer sums (the audio outputs on the zed come through 17-18)

hi I am attempting to use a Zed R-16 with Logic Pro 9, how can I setup a bounce for output 17-18 this is where the mixer sums (the audio outputs on the zed come through 17-18)
I would like to be able to quickly bounce down my mixes, through the Zed outputs.

Pancenter...
Yes... but I have come across some setups that came with a native SL (and even one Lion!) installation.. that somehow had a corrupted or older Prokit installed for some unknown reason... and given it's a quick fix to try.. I thought I'd mention it..
I frankly don't think it is entirely a Prokit issue itself, but it wouldn't do any harm to try and install v7 just in case it is part of the problem...
+1 on the UAD stuff....
Also, at the time it crashed... according to the logs...the OP was running Ableton Live at the same time, presumably rewired with Logic... so add all that together with UAD plugins... and that's quite a load on the system...
Finally in thread 32 there is a weird exception msg relating to the Trash2 plugin.. that I haven't seen before...
Thread 32:
0   libSystem.B.dylib
0x94c29afa mach_msg_trap + 10

That might be nothing... but as i said, I haven't seen that one before and given what else is going on.. it might be involved too... or nothing to do with that at all!

Using the MPK Mini with Logic Pro

Hi, I got an MPK Mini with Logic Pro.
At first it was working fine but I left it for a couple of weeks but now when I plug it in, Logic doesn't recognise it anymore.
I've read this http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/controlsurfacessupport/index.html#cha pter=1%26section=1 but I still haven't been able to get it working.
Has anyone got any ideas?

Do you have Gear Box? If you do try launching Gear Box then see if it works.

Alesis Midi Controller Keyboard setup with Logic Pro 8

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me... I'm a complete newbie!
Recently bought a Macbook with Logic Pro 8 and would like to get set up for some home recording. The keyboard I want to use as a midi controller is the Alesis QS6 which has been in the wardrobe for some time. I have a Midiman USB midi interface.
When I connect it all up, I can't get it to make any sounds from Logic, only from the keyboard itself, which I don't want. A friend suggested taking out one of the midi cables so now I have only Midi out from the keyboard running into Midi in on the Midiman. When I play the keyboard the notes register on the Transport bar and I can even record them but I cannot hear anything.
Can anyone tell me what settings I need to have on the Alesis? Should the Keyboard Mode be on Normal, CH Solo or Out 1,2,3...16? I read somewhere I need to turn General Midi off, does this sound right? Is it something to do with midi channels - I don't even know how to tell which midi channel is selected in Logic.
If anyone has experience with using the QS6 with Logic I would love to hear from you!!!
Thanks!

Run the Audio/MIDI Setup utility. Is your keyboard/MIDI interface displayed in there?
If not, OSX does not see your MIDI device. Install it's drivers if it has them. If it doesn't have any drivers, your MIDI config might have got hosed. What keyboard is it?
Unplug and replug it, directly, don't use a hub. Does it show up in the AMS utility now? Try powering it for an adapter, not from USB.
If you still get no joy, I'll give you some procedures to try...

Recording Audio For Timeline With Logic Pro In Real Time

I do commentaries on videos and was wondering if there is an easier way than what im doing now..
Right now I export my video from premiere to a bad quality version and import it into logic pro and record the commentary there.
Then I have to bounce the audio and import it back to premiere.
Is there a way to get the same plugins that are in logic pro to be used in premieres audio mixer??
A dream come true would be that I could just record directly into premiere with all of the effects coming from logic pro.
Anyone know of any kind of solution or trick or anything so I dont have to keep going back and forth and to make this easier???
Thanks for any info I really appreciate it!!

I just hate going back and forth from premiere and logic and all the extra time wasted exporting the files so they will work with eachother.
I just thought of something else.... Is there a way that I can get the video in premiere to play the same time I push record in logic pro and maybe sync with it?
Like if I push record in logic the video in premiere will start playing then when I push stop in logic pro it will stop in premiere or at least stay in sync with it so the timing will be right?
if anyone has any ideas throw some out there I would love to hear them.
Thanks!

Which 61 key midi keyboards work with Logic Pro X (10)? M-Audio, Novation, Akai, Roland???

Hi. I'm new to this community but would really appreciate some help.
I'm struggling to find a 61 key midi keyboard which works properly with Logic Pro X.
I was looking into getting either the M-Audio Axiom 61 or Novation Impulse 61 but all I can find on google etc. is people saying they don't work properly.
Has anybody got a 61 key which works seamlessly with Pro X?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

To "The Art Of Sound"
Hi. I doing next.
1. I create new project
2. I select Yamaha Grand Piano
3. I play something in "live" mode. All is ok
4. I play something in "Rec" mode. All is ok
5. I record second track with the same instrument, with Yamaha Grand Piano. All is ok
6. I record third track with Yamaha Grand Piano. All is ok again.
7. Now I muting first or second track and... third track plays wrong notes! I unmute first track, but third track still to play wrong notes! Why???
Ok. I continue experiment with created project. I have three Yamaha grand Piano tracks and I creating new software instrument and assing Hovering Machine to it. I try to play in "live" mode something. And I get interesting effect. If I play short notes (sixteens, for example), I can play for one minute without problem. And Logic Pro X starts to play wrong notes after this time delay.
If I start to press chord notes without breaking, Logic Pro X plays for 15-30 secounds normally and starts to play wrong notes them.
Well. I turn off all plugins and effects from instruments. But Logic Pro X countinues to play wrong notes!
I experimented with NI Kontakt 5. Kontakt plays wrong notes!
I experimented with LUSH-101 plugin and minimoog. This two instruments play correct notes always!!! WHY????
Why some instruments play wrong notes and other instruments play correct notes in the same project?
I wrote wrong in my previous post. I got this problem with Logic Pro X 10.0.3 update.
Actually I have serious problem now. I opened projects created in Logic Pro X early and I have this problem in ALL projects. This's commercial projects and my partners asked me already about release date... What must I answer?

I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. How do I get it to stop?
