Logic express 7.2&pro tools le

im new with logic iwant to know if recording on pro tools an then mixing inlogic express is recommended, i intend to run logic on my macbook thanking you guys in advance also commending all you people who ask questions and give answers i value you much more then you know. good looking!!!!!!!!!

Truthfully, I only have ProTools LE, because I am "supposed" to have it. I teach Music Technology, and everyone sems to think you should teach ProTools, so I haev it available for those lessons. Whenever possible I do everything in Logic (I use the Pro version), but you shouldn't have any trouble importing the tracks into Logic. However, unless something has changed - I am not sure Express can actually handle AIFF and WAV files - I thought it only used compressed formats - of course that could have been a long time ago. If Express can handle it, then go for it. You will find the plug-ins and presets quite full of options, and with helpful presets.

  • 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

  • Got Logic Express instead of Pro for the same price

    I've bought Logic Express 9 at retail store a few days ago for 180 EUR, but then I found out the Pro version has the same price?! How is that possible?
    Feeling a bit jackassed, I could actually buy this piece of software for the same price at the Apple Store if I knew...
    EDIT: Oh, by the way I checked some other threads, and some guys tell that such thing as Logic Express doesn't exist anymore, well the price is anyway same (199,99 USD). I've bought this product on 21.08.2012 at an official Apple Store in Düsseldorf, Germany.
    Thanks in advance for your response!

    I've been at the store a few hours ago, spent an hour there and received actually no solution.
    They declined taking the software back and refunding.
    "Some people would still prefer buying this version of software rather the pro version, even though they have same pricing", they said. But that's complete non-sence! 've been struggling with the store manager there, but brought me nothing.
    Any ideas what I could do next? Don't really want to spend 200 bucks more to get the "alive" version of logic...

  • Problem with Logic Express file in Pro

    I opened a Logic Express 6 project in Logic Pro 7, and found that some of the Audio Objects won't play.
    All of the Audio Object tracks appear in Arrange window (and the Environment), but tracks higher than number 8 (9-32) are inaccessible.
    The only things that appear in the channel strips for the unplayable tracks are the track name, group assignment (off), and "read." When I tried to assign the track in the Audio Object Parameter box, I found that tracks 9-32 are grayed out and not available for channel assignment.
    How do I make the grayed-out tracks available for assignment?
    Thanks,
    Weldon

    You're welcome. I personally set mine high-but the higher you set it themore resources logic needs. I just set mine to 128 which is fine for me and how I like to work. Cheers

  • 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
    http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?langid=100&navid=126&itemid=5028
    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 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.

  • Logic Studio vs. Pro Tools?

    Hi, I'm new posting in this forum so please bear with me if my questions are simple.
    Anyway, I've been a Pro Tools LE (w/ Mbox) user for about 6 years now. I'm satisfied with the software and quality of the recordings, but the problems I've dealt with are endless. Between constant updates from Digidesign, computer errors and too many malfunctions, I've become exhausted with the program.
    Anyway, my school store sells Logic Studio for dirt cheap and I'm thinking about making the switch. Before I do this though, any advice, stories, or related experiences would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to make the move if I'm not going to see an overall improvement from Pro Tools.
    On a last note, Logic studio does not come with an audio interface, correct? If not, does anyone know if I could use Mbox to sync up with Logic?
    Again, any advice on this subject is incredibly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

    It really depends on what you are doing. Each program has it's strengths. The "endless updates" from PT are pretty welcome to most users, as Digi stays on the program and gives free CS updates to fix bugs (sometimes before people have even found them) unlike Logic which can go for months on end without an update. The strength of Pro Tools is that you will always see new stuff coming out in the program, as Digidesign does not sell iPhones or computers and concentrates on just Pro Tools.
    OTOH, Logic is way ahead of Pro Tools in it's handling of virtual instruments, you will never get PT to handle the load of VIs that Logic can. Whether that's important to you can only be determined by whether you are principally a composer or a person dealing more with audio.
    PT8 will address many Midi shortcomings according to the feature list on their site and will close the gap significantly with Logic in some ways, but the program is still not the native powerhouse Logic is. I ran Nuendo on the Mac and it wasn't either. I've done ridiculously intense sessions on Logic 8.02 with my CPU half asleep...it's very, very impressive.
    Best is getting something cheap like the MBOX Pro (Firewire) and being able to use both for their strengths. Personally I MUCH prefer dealing with mixing in Pro Tools, but not if a lot of virtual instruments are involved.

  • Difference Between Logic Express 8 and Pro 8

    I was close to purchasing Logic Express after finding out the store ran out of Logic Pro. I held off Express because i wasn't sure if i would get "some" of the same features. Im mostly looking for the feature that Pro has, where the audio "time stretches" itself according to tempo. I know earlier versions of Express couldn't do that. I didn't know if Express editing was the same as Pro. I like the fact that in Pro you can just grab and cut audio instead of double clicking the audio and editing it in a separate window (WEAK)!!!

  • Logic Express on Mac Pro

    Has anyone tried to use Logic Express on the new Mac Pro yet? I have no additional audio hardware, and LE refuses to use the built-in audio out. All I can use is the headphones out on the front. I changed the default output settings in the system settings and everything works fine in Garage Band, iTunes, etc. Just Logic seems to ignore the line out.
    Since this is the first time I am using both the Mac Pro and Logic, I have no idea if this is a new issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Why oh why didn't you buy Logic Pro??? Personally I
    would put functionality before power.. but hey..
    I realise this is off topic but could you start a new
    thread for the following...
    - I'd love to get a glimpse of the power of the Mac
    pro. Is there a universal benchmark song available
    that you could test for us & we can use it to compare
    our (Comparitively) measly specs with!?
    That's a matter of $150 vs. $500 with edu discount... for what I do, Logic Express works just fine. If I get more serious with music production again, I will upgrade.
    I will hapily do a performance test if you give me a link.

  • Logic 7.2 with Pro-Tools Pro-Control???

    HI
    We have Logic 7.2 and ProTools HD with Procontrol running on a G5 with Tiger. Is it possible to use the ProControl with Logic? I realise the ProControl is an Ethernet controller and it seems to me that Logic will only support midi controller surfaces/mixers?
    Does anybody use ProControl with Logic? Is it possible - nobody seems to be able to answer this simple question?!
    No help from Digidesign forums - they're a waste of time!
    Cheers.

    I don't think digidesign allows support for any other applications.

  • Pro tools 7 le or Logic Pro 7 ?

    I saw the video of Pro tools 7 le and it does seem to have good midi editing capability. Midi is what I've heard people complain about in Pro tools. What do you think of Pro tools 7 le compared to Logic Pro 7?

    I saw the video of Pro tools 7 le and it does seem to
    have good midi editing capability. Midi is what I've
    heard people complain about in Pro tools. What do you
    think of Pro tools 7 le compared to Logic Pro 7?
    I'm a former PT user. Here's the comparison between LP and PT. Pro Tools LE is like one of those studios with just a piano and 32 track board and adat. Where Logic Pro is a complete studio with about 6 keyboards and rack modules and effects and a 64 track board.
    There's no comparison. Logic's a whole studio where PT LE is basically a mimmic of the tape. Now if you have your own equipment(i.e. third party plug ins and external synths) the PT LE will suffice the rewire setup and midi sync is much better and more stable than LP, but that's all PT Le has over LP.
    Logic has taken my music to the next level. Those soft synth plug ins are great. Besides my MPC for drums, I really don't need any other external sounds. I mean you cant compare Logic's synths to PT LE's Reason Adapted and Sample Tank SE.
    Pro Tools LE is really not in Logic's class. Some People think LP's a lesser program or in the same class as PT LE because its less expensive. But its really not. What makes PT LE expensive is its hardware that it uses as a XS key. You basically pay for the interface not the program.
    You can compare Pro Tools LE to Logic Express. But Pro Tools LE to Logic Pro? C'mon that's like comparing a Pinto to a Lexus.
    Oh yeah just look at the price. The only DAW sequencer that rivals LP'S price is Sonar. But Sonar would hit the market at about 800$ then the price would drop to about $500. Logic's hits the market a 1000$ and stays there, demand and customer satisfaction. Its worth way more that 1000$, besides my MPC its the best investment I've made regarding music.
    The only thing I miss about PT's is the rewire and bussing. But with all the soft sythns LP has I really don't use Reason that much. I don't really need it.

  • Pro Tools User Considering Logic Express

    Hi Everyone,
    I've been a Pro Tools LE user for a number of years. When I read that Avid would be charging $250 for an upgrade to Pro Tools LE 9 (plus $40 for the mandatory iLok) I decided to explore other options.
    My main concern is with CPU overload. I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with 8GB RAM, and a Glyph external hard drive. I had hoped that the dreaded Pro Tools 6101 CPU overload errors would be a thing of the past, but even with a much more powerful computer, the errors continued, and most frustrating, there would be no rhyme or reason. I could play a 16-track project with no problems, but it would choke on a file with no more than 7 or 8 tracks. Extremely frustrating when you are losing creative time to constantly troubleshoot.
    Are there any former Pro Tools users out there who have had similar issues? Have you had any better luck with Logic?

    Hi,
    don't know about Pro Tools, but CPU overload usually has to do with a too low buffer setting, and it's the same in Logic. So, in Pro Tools, try to find a preference where you can set the audio buffer to a higher value, and the CPU overloads should be history.
    You should not switch DAW's only because of CPU problems. Ask in the PT forum for other solutions. You should only switch if you need the other features of Logic.

  • Should I get Logic Express if I have Soundtrack Pro?

    Hi,
    I am new to Soundtrack Pro and was wondering if I should get Logic Express. I am looking for even more music and sound effects for video productions.
    Does Logic Express offer more music and sound effects then Soundtrack Pro?
    What is the major differences between Logic Express and Soundtrack Pro?
    Thanks.
    Andy

    I think LE8 might be very useful tool indeed, if you are looking for more sound effects and creating your own music.
    Both applications allow audio mixing, but with LE you can also use Software Instruments to create unique sounds or to compose entire songs. Plus, LE is more convenient for audio production, just like SP is more convenient for creating and editing soundtracks for movies/video.
    Not sure about the effects plugins, but LE might have a wider collection of them.
    I think it definitely won't be a waste of money to purchase LE, because it will extend your sound production capabilities.

  • Can logic pro 8 projects be read on logic express 8?

    I've posted this on the logic pro forum but thought should post it here too:
    So a few weeks ago I went to teach a short one day course in Logic Express 8.... except I've only used Logic Pro 8.....mmmm
    Anyway, with all my projects carefully prepared (without space designers or any non- Express 8 plug-ins) I copied my workshop projects onto the students computers only to find that the .logic file was missing. Eek! The iMacs we were using had Logic express 8 (not pro) on them but for some reason the .logic file was now replaced by a folder - which we figured out was actually the opened package of the logic pro file:
    The folder was always called Lgdoc containing two files: display state & document data
    I've managed to replicate this behaviour on my powerbook which has not got logic 8 installed on it.
    Has anyone else come across this? Has anyone opened a logic pro 8 project in Logic express 8 successfully?
    Is there a way to re-pack a file whose contents are being shown?
    Thanks
    Rounik

    Ok thanks, so I shouldn't have any problem I guess finish the project with logic9. Do u know by any chance if I can have both 8 and 9 running on my Mac?

  • 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!
