Logic and Pro Tools

Hello all. I"ve got a few questions concerning Logic and Pro Tools. First, can you trigger Logic's sounds in Pro tools? ie Logic as the "slave" and Pro Tools as the "master" And can you record vocals into Logic using an MBox 2 or is there some other interface I need? If so, what would you suggest?
Thanks in advance for your time

You can use an Mbox2 with logic. If you already have pro tools, or plan on having it in addition to logic, thats what I would do, as both programs can use the mbox2. Although, they can't both use it at the same time. Which leads to this.
It is possible to have pro tools running using the mbox2 while logic is running, using your computers soundcard. I have done this, but I have found no real way to synch them. I've been looking at ways of syncing Logic and Pro Tools together on the same computer, and it seems to be not really doable, although I believe people have done it. A lot of people have one computer for Logic and one for Pro Tools and sync them together with time code, which works really well.
I'm really pretty new to logic, so I'm sure I dont have the best answers,
Good Luck!

  • Logic and pro tools transfer  with OMF or AAF

    Hi
    has anybody experience with the transfer from Pro Tools 6.9 session
    into LOGIC 7.1 and back to PT via OMF or AAF ??
    I need to know
    if this is really working now
    and what about the tdm/rtas plug ins and delay-compensation???
    would be nice
    if somebody has some infos about this
    before i buy the digitranslator from digidesign
    thanks
    chris

    IMO it's not worth the money to transfer OMF
    with Digitranslator. To consolidate is free and
    there is no hassle with OMF. My experience with
    Digitranslator Demo (v. 6.3) was quite frustrating,
    the newer versions I didn't test.
    From the Logic side I wanted to do an OMF transfer
    from Cubase SX 3 to Logic Pro 7.1 and Logic refused
    with an error to import the OMF file. Cubase had no problems
    with his own OMFs, but Logic had.
    So may be I did something wrong, but I had no time
    to check out the different OMF formats.
    Anyway, I continue to consolidate.

  • 7.1 to 7.2 Logic and Pro Tools 7 disaster!!!

    I just installed Pro Tools 7.1cs4 and worked on it last night with all of my plug-ins including NIK2, TLSpace, etc.. Today I tried running Logic 7.1 in DAE mode and crashed my computer. Now Logic crashes every time and ProTools lost all my NI instrumnents and the install of TLSpace. I know that I need 7.2 to run this properly (my copy is in the mail as we speak..) What do I have to do to get back and running? Where did my plug-ins in Pro Tools go?

    AJ...I agree the see-saw act for the last two months has been more than annyoning.
    The bad news is PT7.1cs4 and anything but Logic 7.2 won't play well together using CORE AUDIO (DIGI)/DAE/TDM.
    The good news is that Logic 7.2 crossgrade and PT7.1cs4 do actually work] together. I know...I know $50 here...$50 there. But if you must run audio inside Logic...
    Don't know about your situation...but you would be able to slave Logic 7.1 to PT7.1. This might not provide you with everything you need though. But it does work.

  • Logic 7.1 and Pro Tools...a few questions...

    Hi everyone,
    I just have a couple of questions regarding Logic and Pro Tools. My employer has commissioned me to upgrade his studio from Logic 5.0 (mac os version) to the latest version, which is now 7.1.1 (but we may stick with 7.1 just till I'm sure it won't mess up his setup). I thought I'd post just to get a bit of clarification.
    Here are the details of his main theatre studio:
    Pro Tools 6.4.1
    2 x Digidesign 888 I/O Interface
    OS X Panther 10.3.5
    Dual 1.25 GHz G4
    1 Gig DDR SDRAM
    I've read and seen a lot of posts regarding big problems running Logic and certain configurations of Pro Tools in conjunction, however until now this has not been a concern for me as my studio is purely based off of core audio Logic 7.1 and Reason 3.03. So here are the main questions I have:
    1. How much is the upgrade going to be? Is is just the standard upgrade or is he going to get shafted and have to buy the whole program again (NOTE: he does have the dongle and all the necessary paperwork from Logic 5.0 mac version)
    2. Are there known problems with the configuration that I've outlined above, I really don't want to suggest he go ahead and a) upgrade b) buy the the program again if he must, if there is going to be a problem, he predominantly works in Pro Tools and Logic will just be available as an added selling point to his studio, and composition ablity.
    Any information about this or clarification would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance,
    Graham Campbell
    PS - if you need more info to answer don't hesiate to ask.

    Hi Justin,
    thanks for the advice/info...I got the quote for the upgrade it'll be 435 Canadian after tax (Just curious if we order the upgrade will it upgrade to 7.1? or do we need to get that seperate, I was confused by your wording).
    As for the setup my employer hasn't used Logic at all in a professional setting. He had 5.0 Platinum in case any of his clients needed it however that hasn't been the case, he said it was working fine though. As for Pro Tools, his setup the one I mentioned above, has been rock solid all the way up to 10.3.9 (which he has on two of his other editing sweets). So hopefully that will be the case for Logic as well. I've told him that I think he'll need to address the RAM issue as I'm sure he'll be suprise how quick Sculpture etc eat up the RAM.
    My main concern was wether running Logic not using the 'built in audio' driver but rather say the Pro Tools interface would be incompatible, hope that makes sense I haven't done any Pro Tools with Logic set ups before so the wording may wrong. Thanks for the reply though, cheers,
    Graham

  • Logic studio 9 and pro tools 8 le users

    Hello,
    I wanted to write this on the logic pro page too. I wanted to know how was the transferring of midi and audio files from Logic 9 to pro tools le. I have both logic and pro tools but have not done it yet. I am still new.
    I am recording songs for my friend and he is going to be taking them to be mixed in a big pro tools studio. He wanted to save money and time with me before he went there and get the basic tracks worked on.
    My question is, has anyone transferred files to pro tools that can help me (and even to other DAW's) And what transfers well and not so well to pro tools 8 le.
    Lou

    To transfer files from Logic to PT or any other DAW for Mixing, it is unlikely you will be asked to transfer MIDI files/regions. There's no guarantee the studio will have the same instrument plugins to playback your MIDI parts.
    You need to bounce down each track to separate audio files. Use the File > Export all audio tracks to export every track to a separate audio file which will include only the basic volume and pan automation.
    You could choose to bounce each track individually (solo track, File > Bounce)
    Bounce in the same sample rate (44.1 for example) and bit depth (24bit for ex.).
    Start the bounce at the beginning of the track (1 1 1 1) - or so all tracks have the same start point regardless of whether the drums come in on Bar 9 for example.
    Bounce to wave or aiff - whatever the studio prefers.

  • How Do You Work Your Logic Files In Sonar and Pro-Tools?

    Hey guys, it's my 1st post. I have a MB Pro and Logic Pro 8 and I'm going to be working in a studio that has Sonar and Pro-Tools in another room. I'm going to be doing my pre-production with my MB Pro and then do the mixing in Sonar because the acoustics is bad at home. How do I proceed thus? In what format do I save my Logic File in order to be opened in Sonar and Pro-Tools? Can Sonar read Logic files? Can Pro-Tools read Logic too?

    Hi, if >download Additional Content< is still available, then select it and Logic will attempt to download everything needed. If there's no activity then you're done and if something went wrong, on your network for instance, you'll receive an alert stating otherwise I suppose.
    Have a nice day!

  • Audio hardware interface to use with Logic Studio 8 and Pro Tools M-Powered

    I want to get Logic Studio and Pro Tools M-Powered. I do film sound design and music as a hobby. I plan to compose music with Logic and edit film audio with Pro Tools.
    Here is my main concern:
    I want to get ONE firewire audio interface that will work with both programs (Logic Studio and Pro Tools). I need one that has multiple outputs because I will be mixing in surround sound (mostly the film audio). Are there any suggestions? Inputs on what people like, don't like, work well with both? What I should completely avoid? I figured Pro Tools M-Powered (as opposed to LE, HD) would be better for me simply because of price and possibly using the m-audio interface with Logic too.
    Let the advice begin please. I will be happy to answer any questions you have for me that would help you provide better advice for me.
    Thank you in advance

    Yes, Logic Studio is surround sound capable, but unfortunately a lot of places that I would potentially like to be working at, that do audio post, that I've seen, require a knowledge of Pro Tools. I know it's not the best but it's the industry standard and it's what many companies use so I need to learn it (basically). I don't want to limit myself to stereo outs on the audio interface on PT. Maybe I should to keep my budget down though??? I guess now I'm looking at PT LE and the 003 family, this one in particular

    I dunno, by the time it's "technically" compatible with Leopard I might be able to afford it.
    Anyone currently using Pro Tools LE with Leopard right now? For some people it apparently works???

  • Logic Studio and Pro Tools 6.9

    Anyone knows if there is a know issue about compatibility between Logic Studio and Pro Tools 6.9 software? Whe I launch Logic , it says that it can't find DAE folder and other TDM things...
    any idea?

    Thx Mark,
    "probably" would mean that are you sure or just is an ipotetic answer?
    Nobody here has Logic 8 and HD2???

  • Logic Pro 8 and Pro Tools are not getting alone with my MacBook Pro

    Hello,
    I have a MacBook Pro with Intel. I have Pro Tools 7 and Logic Pro 7. I just upgraded to Logic Pro 8. We had to update our quicktime and import our key commands into Logic Pro 8. However, now Logic Pro 8 keeps freezing and Pro Tools wont open.
    Can anyone help

    I had this problem. you need to download and install something called a prebinding script from digidesigns website. just google search osx, and prebinding script. If your PT icon just keeps bouncing in your dock and does nothing this should fix it.
    maybe someone can tell me why i can only create external midi tracks in logic>??? no software inst....

  • Can i use my snowball usb mic with Logic or Pro Tools???

    Can i use my snowball usb mic with Logic or Pro Tools???

    Hi there,
    Did you find out anything more in regard to this?
    I have been using Pro Tools 8 with the MBox 2 connected to my iMac operating Leopard. It worked a treat for nearly four years.
    However the hardrive has just been replaced on the iMac which now has Snowleopard.  I don't want to have to update to Lion and then fork out £500 for Pro Tools 10. 
    I would be content to get Logic Pro 9 if I can attach the MBox 2 to it.
    Your advice would be appreciated

  • Logic with Pro Tools HD upgrade

    Hi -
    We're using Logic 7.1.1 with a Pro Tools HD system. I'm not at the system right now, but it must be Pro Tools 6.9.x because the machine is running 10.4.5.
    When we load large templates with lots of TDM tracks and inputs, Logic quits without any kind of message about 1/3 of the time. The whole machine crashes about every 10th relaunch of Logic. The problem is definitely related to large TDM setups.
    My question is: can I expect more stable performance if I upgrade to Logic 7.2 and Pro Tools HD 7 ?
    Thanks for any input.

    oh yes, on a new Mac Pro...surely, but what are your experiences with these combination?
    I´m using 48 Channels I/O with many outboard equipment on a HD 3 Pro Tools DAE ,,, Logic 7 is running and the DAE maschine is working...:))) cool what?
    now we must talk about "all native" to use Pro Tools Hardware and Logic 9 because the 2 "Legends" are not able to create a stabile contact since 2004 in DAE mode...
    now I`m interested what user, who worked with logic in DAE Mode ....- whats the way?
    regards

  • Optimal Hard Drive Configuration for Premiere Pro CS5 and Pro Tools

    I am in the process of upgrading a workstation that is used primarily for multi-track audio recording in Pro Tools to use the following Adobe CS5 products for production of promotional videos in HDV (and AVCHD for the web) as well as printed marketing materials for bands and musicians: Premiere Pro, Encore, Photoshop, Illustrator and Soundbooth.
    Since Premiere Pro is probably the most demanding application of the group, I have been studying the suggested hardware configurations on this forum with great interest, particularly HARM's suggestions (including his Generic Guideline for Disk Setup) to determine which hard drives to purchase and the optimal manner in which to configure them.
    I am upgrading an HP Z800 with dual quad core 2.44 GhZ processors with hyperthreading (16 virtual cores), 12 GB of memory and an overclocked GeForce GTX 470.  Without setting up a RAID configuration (which I cannot afford at the moment), I would like to use the 4 available HDD bays in the Z800 in the optimal manner for Premier Pro, using currently available drives.  I am currently considering purchasing a 300GB VelociRaptor to use as my C drive because of the extended load times and demands placed on the drive by ProTools and the associated Waves plug-ins.
    I would appreciate suggestions to improve my following plan:  C (300GB  WD VelociRaptor) for OS and Programs; D (1 TB WD Black Caviar) for Media and Projects; E (1 250 GB WD Black Caviar) for Pagefile (approx. 18 GB) and Media Cache; and E (2 TB WD Black Caviar) for Previews, Exports and Pro Tools audio files.
    I have great respect for the knowledge of the members of this forum and eagerly await your suggestions.
    /Bill

    I very much appreciate the responses to my email because I know that all of your time is valuable and that you have chosen to use some of that valuable time to help an unknown individual.  This forum is remarkable because of the wealth of knowledge available and the willingness of so many to assist others.
    I now wish to narrow my questions to save you time and so that I can get specific advice.  I may not have not been clear that I have already upgraded to the HP Z800 with dual quad core processors and overclocked GTX 470, primarily for the improved performance it will provide in ProTools.  My question now is how to optimize its performance for Premiere Pro CS5.  Based upon my research, I am considering the following two upgrades, but I am open to other suggestions if they would provide better results at a similar cost
    1. I am considering purchasing a 600GB WD VelociRaptor ( WD6000HLXH) for my C drive on which I would place OS (Windows 7, 64 Bit) and programs in an effort to reduce loading times of large programs.  I have two questions: (1) Are members of the forum seeing a significant improvment in program loading times with the VelociRaptor because I am still not convinced that the price performance of SSD's justifies their use; and (2) There are so many models of VelociRaptors now that I want to be certain that I am purchasing the best version for my needs.  In addition to the usual 10000 RPM speed, this model has 32MB Cache and a 3.5" form factor as well as a SATA 6.0GB/s interface (which I doubt my motherboard can take advantage of but it might extend the useful life of the drive with future configurations).
    2. I currently have available for installation in the Z800 the following drives:  (1) WD 2TB Black Caviar; (1) WD 1TB Black Caviar; (2) Hitachi 1TB.  I believe that the Z800 can accept up to 5 SATA hard drives which I will have if I purchase the Velociraptor.  Although I am reasonably knowledeable when it comes to hardware, I have never set up a RAID configuration.  Therefore, it would be helpful if someone could recommend one of the various RAID configurations and brieflyexplain why it would seem to be best for my needs.  I can then focus my research on understanding that one configuration.
    I was planning to follow Scott's suggestion for my current 3 drives:  OS and programs on C (WD 600 GBVelociRaptor), media and projects on D (WD 1TB Black Caviar), export files and Pro Tools files (all live musician tracks, no samples) on E (WD 2TB Black Caviar).  However, I have been reading about the benefits of a RAID configuration so I am interested in further suggestions now that I have clarified my questions.
    Thank you all for your help.
    Bill

  • Have the makers of Logic or Pro Tools given any thought to the Df/deaf producers wishing to use these programs?

    Have the creators of Logic or Pro tools given any consideration to the Df/deaf musicians wishing to produce with these programs? They just rely on visual arrangement of sonic information that must be 'listened' to to throughout composition. There must be away of improving this inaccessibility.

  • Audition sessions and Pro Tools

    I was just wondering if there is any way that Pro Tools 8 can open up Audition files. Is there a 3rd party software that allows for that, or is there a particular format that works between Audition 3 and Pro tools 8?
    Thank-you

    AA Translator may have the answer but maybe not PT8 yet.

  • Final Cut and Pro Tools

    I recently installed Final Cut Express on my iMac. I also have Pro Tools 7.4.2 on my machine. When I went to open Final Cut, everything slowed to a screaming halt. One problem was that Final Cut was latching on to my Waves bundle for Pro Tools when it opened. After that, when I restarted my computer it took over five minutes for the desktop to load up. Apple tech support walked me through removing Final Cut, and reinstalling Leopard, but I'm wondering if there's a way for Final Cut and Pro Tools to co-exist. I'm not opening or using them at the same time. 2 BG

    The apps should certainly coexist peacefully. If you want to prevent Final Cut from loading your Waves bundle (or any other Audio Units you have installed) then you have to move these units in and out of your /Library/Audio folder. Perhaps worth investigating would be the free AU Manger app for handling these plugs as sets
