Logic Express 8 with MBox 2 Pro

Anyone succesfully using this combination?
I am so sick of ProTools.

You know what? I can't help but to even be ashamed to be in any of the forums here in LE8. I got mine on Tuesday and, within minutes of the installation, I had "everything" set up and ready to go for the recordings that I do. Not one bump. It has been nothing but a virtual love fest with me and LE8! With all of the complaining and problems that people are having, I feel that I am definitely in a neighborhood where I am not welcome.
Here's what I did. I looked at the options for creating a new song that we get when we want to create a new file (you have seen the prepared workspaces that LE8 gives you to choose from) and, because I only use "live" instruments (guitar, banjo, mandoline, 12 string guitar, classic guitar, and a fiddle--as well as my voice(), I just chose the selection for 8 live instruments. Now, I have read the forums for abou a year and the major complaint of the newbies is that they can't seem to get music "out" of LE and that it is almost impossible to "wrap their heads around" it. Well, Apple has answered the users with these automatic workspaces with the soundflow already set up. There is no installation of all those preferences and the personal existing hardware. No fidgeting there.
So, as I sit here in pig heaven and grunt in imported mud with others of my own ilk, I am truly happy and hav not a single complaint.
May the seas always move in your favor and be calm as the glass of a mirror.

  • Logic Express 7 with Mbox 2 interface

    I'm getting what sounds like clocking issue "pops" when I use my Mbox 2 with LE7.
    I'm using a new 13 inch MacBook Pro.
    I have the audio driver set to the Mbox 2. When I switch the sample rate between 44.1 and 48 the pops stop. But then they return when I try and play audio, regardless of which sample rate I use.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

  • When I open logic express 8 with eyetv open but not active and i close logic express 8 and make eyetv active it won't show closed captioning even though closed captioning is turned on

    when I open logic express 8 with eyetv open but not active and i close logic express 8 and make eyetv active eyetv won't show closed captioning even though closed captioning is turned on.  When I totally close eyetv and reopen eyetv and open a live tv window the closed captioning comes back.  I never noticed this with os leopard, Just after i installed os snow leopard.  All software is up to date only I think, thanks to apple they droped support for logic express.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    Does toggling CC off & back on bring it back?
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Using Logic Express 8 with Logic Pro 7

  • 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.

  • Loading Logic Express 9 onto replacement MB pro

    I've just had to replace my MB pro through the house insurance after a drink got poured over the old one!
    I have a Time Machine so I'm guessing all my files should be stored but I'm wondering about programs like Logic Express 9 and Microsift Office.
    I'm pretty sure the MS Office disk has 5 licences so no issue there but how do I restore Logic Express 9 as I'm guessing the Time Machine won't copy the program across, only the relevant files?!?
    Thanks

    I appreciate the response!
    I was reading some more and kept having the same problem. I ended up re-installing it a third time, then downloading the update, and finally got it working.
    Something just was weird with this.
    But got it going!
    Thanks!

  • Installed Logic Express 8, now my Mac Pro won't start

    I got a brand new Mac Pro about a week ago. It appeared to work fine until last night. I powered it on, installed a brand new copy of Logic Express 8 on it, shut it down, and now the Mac Pro can't finish starting up (stays forever on the gray screen with the apple and the progress indicator).
    Has anyone experienced a similar problem caused by Logic, or is it just a coincidence?
    (The complicating factor is that the very first thing I did when I got the Mac Pro was to install M-Audio's driver for the ProjectMix I/O. This is the only driver I've added. It's not officially supported on Leopard. But it didn't affect the Mac's ability to boot for the first week, so that would seem to put it in the clear.)

  • Syncing logic express 9 with akai mpk61

    hey guys,
    i need some advice syncing akai mpk 61 or 49 midi controller with logics timecode, any suggestions or pdf's u can send me,
    cheers,
    peter

    Considering the date of your post you may already know but Logic Express 9 is really just an upgrade from 8. It's could have been called 8.something rathern than 9. It's not really a new or different program so anything you were able to use with 8 you should be able to use with 9. Also the full studio program COMES with all the jam packs and Logic Express 9 comes with the voice jam pack (I think it's called that) so they definitely work with Logic.

  • Does Logic Express work with M-Audio Fast Track USB

    Hi all, just wondering if logic express 8 works with the m-audio Fast Track USB - http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrackUSB.html ?

    This should probably go in the Logic Express 8 forum. Regardless, I see no reason why it wouldn't be perfectly functional using LE8. Is there a reason why you are opting for a USB device? Does your Mac not have a firewire port?

  • Open Logic Express 7.2 songs in Pro 8.2..?

    I have just upgraded and thought that this would be possible, but the Express Projects are greyed out in the Import menu.
    Anyone else tried this..?

    I occasionally have an issue importing Logic Express 7.2 files into LP8.02, though usually they import just fine. I think it has something to do with Logic Express's bundled instruments as they throw up occasional errors when importing.
    I've never had it greyed out though, so can't help there, other than suggesting removing the prefrence files

  • Is anybody out there who knows the steps to set up Logic Express? with an Alesis iO|26 interface

    And i fount this
    PETERSON SONUUS-G2M MIDI-KONVERTER
    ok this one could sendout your guitar sound as a MIDI data but only monophone.
    Thats what i see as a big computation problem ( when you play your simple C7 there are
    at least 10 important parameter that describe your C7 chord; but if you play monophone
    theese small boxes can convert it).
    Have you tried anny MIDI guitar?
    I saw some "usb" guitars transmiting midi signal into
    software synth on some computer.

  • Logic Studio comes with quicktime 7 Pro.   where is it?

    as the box indicates in the "contents" section beside the requirements section in the top side of the box, it gives the list of all the softwares that come with logic studio (e.i. logic pro, soundtrack pro2, waveburner, compressor... blah blah blah all that... but it says close to the end: quicktime PRO 2, which i guess is a "better" version, or it has more features... i dont know. the thing is i dont quite see that i actually have it installed on my mac. when i open quicktime and check on the "about quicktime.." it says its only quicktime.. but doesnt say anything about being PRO 2. its also the 7.5.5 version...
    Since i installed everything from logic studio.. and still cant seem to find a way to see that QT pro 2 has been installed on my mac, can anyone explain to me what could be happening?
    thanks.

    This has had a lot of people confused. Logic doesn't actually come with any software for Quicktime Pro, because you already have it imbedded into the regular version of Quicktime. When you buy QTP, or buy something like Logic that includes it, it simply 'unlocks' your regular version of Quicktime, which allows you access to a bunch of features that regular Quicktime didn't have.
    Open System Preferences->Quicktime, and it should say: 'Registered To: Apple Pro Apps User' and 'Registration Code: Automatic.' You'll also notice that the 'Q' graphic on that window has a little 'PRO' tag on it too.
    If you were still running the regular Quicktime, when you went to the QT Player, and dropped down any of the menus from the menubar, most of the options would be grayed out and say 'Pro Only,' or something like that. Now all of the options in those menus will be available.
    And yes, it should be version 7.5.5.
