Logic Express/Emagic emi6/2m problem

I've recently started having a problem with my iBook/Logic Express (7.1.1) and Emagic emi6/2m audio interface. I'm getting regular audio pops and clicks when playing my synth plug-ins (it happens with all the ones I've got) and only happens when I play them 'live' so to speak (ie not when playing back a part that I've already recorded). I don't think it's a RAM/CPU problem because it hasn't happened in the past and the CPU meter doesn't seem to be going very high most of the time. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the problem has only started since updating to OSX 10.4.6. I've downloaded the latest driver for the audio interface but it hasn't helped. Has anybody out there using a similar set-up had the same problem? Any suggestions gratefully received (maybe I have to update to LE7.2). .

No big deal.....A friend of mine has an emi2/6.
He experiences audio drop outs, now and then.
(Especially at low buffer settings)
Then I realized he has no power adapter connected, (He lost his).
It seems you don´t use that either.
Maybe, just maybe, the emi doesn´t get enough power from
the USB port. After all the emi is old and USB1, only.

Logic Express (7.2) Installation problem

Hi, I had an iBook running Logic Express 7.1 and recently upgraded to a MacBook so I sent away for the 7.2 crossgrade, which arrived today. I put in the first disc which ran through the installation and prompted me to insert the content dvd, however the MacBook doesn't seem to recognise the content dvd and spits it out after a minute, leaving me to have to cancel the installation!
What's happening!? Anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?
Cheers

Maybe your content DVD is damaged?
I have had this problem with other software (not Logic) where a CD or DVD is damaged.
Can you insert it in to another computer? Sometimes a DVD will work fine on one computer, but not another.
If you can get another Mac to recognize it, you may be able to use Disk Utility to create a disk image of that DVD and move it to your MacPro via a network, or even install it across a network which I've never tried.
If it is damaged, you'll have to call Apple who I'm sure will send you a replacement. If you're anywhere near an Apple store, take your MacPro and the disks to the genius bar and let them get you running.

Logic Express 7.2 Rewire Problem

I have only had this problem since getting 7.2. Whenever I set a channel up to Rewire, I can only hear the sound from the channel while the song is playing. Used to, I could play my keyboard and hear sounds from Reason while in Logic. I don't know what is going on. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Mikal

This is definitely a Logic bug. I solved the problem with a workaround. Here's how to make it happen if anyone else is having this problem.
Reason Rewire Fix
Do in this order
If none exists in the current song, create an internal Logic synth instrument channel.
Select a Logic synth on an instrument track (make sure any instrument in Reason is unselected on the Reason side) and play a few notes with a midi keyboard or the capslock keyboard.
If needed, start transport and then stop and check to make sure sound still plays when transport stopped.
Once sound is heard on the Logic internal synth, you should be able to select a rewire track and it should play all the time, even when transport is stopped.
I'm surprised Apple/Emagic doesn't know about this. I sincerely hope they fix it in the next upgrade. I've spent dozens of hours of troubleshooting to get to this point, but I can make it work now every time, without exeption. I can reproduce the problem and the fix every time.

How to run Amp Farm in Logic Express 8?

I'm new to all this so any help would be greatly appreciated! . . . . . .
Im running Logic Express 8 without any problems, I've just installed Line 6 Amp Farm and that runs without a problem. The problem I am having is-
I want to run Logic and use the sounds/amps from Amp Farm but cant figure out how to do it? I've searched the net and cant find anything about how to do it, I've also had a good look through the Logic user guide but had no luck. . . . . . .
HELP PLEASE!
John.

Heres where I'm at so far-
I've been into Logic and opened Preferences/Audio Units Manager and then validated Pod Farm.
I go into Browser and Library on the far right to find tones on the far right of the Logic interface, I can find all the Garageband tones/sounds and all the Logic tones/Sounds but there's nothing related to line 6 Farm. The only way I can get into the line 6 stuff is to use the browser and go - Documents/Line 6/Tones/Pod Farm/Guitar/then into the folders where the tones are but the folders seem empty.
I know the folders aren't empty because if I go into them normally, not using Logic, all the tones are there in the relevant folders and when they are clicked on it opens Pod farm.

Logic Express 8 and OSX 10.6.5 Problems...

Hi,
I just did a fresh install of all of my software on my iMac.
Previously had it running 10.6.4 and everything an fine.
Now that I've reinstalled and upgraded to 10.6.5 Logic Express won't work.
Anyone else having this problem? Am I just ging to have to upgrade to 9?
I don't really want to as I mainly use Pro Tools and just use logic for drum machines and synths...
Anyway! Any help is appreciated!

I'm running 10.6.5 and LE 8 and it works for me. Of course I have a new imac that came installed with 10.6.5 and I installed LE on it. Maybe you can re-install LE. But hopefully there is another solution. I too don't really want to upgrade to LE 9 if I don't have to.

Can I open emagic logic projects in Logic Express 7.2?

Hi
I am recording a band in a few weeks, who have already laid down their (live) drum tracks in a proper studio that uses Emagic Logic. I don't know which version, but he runs it on a G4.
I use GarageBand at the moment, but am about to move up to Logic Express 7.2. Will I be able to import the Emagic Logic projects into Logic Express 7.2?
Cheers

Cheers - it's good news that they're compatible.
I'll have plenty of time to practice with Logic beforehand. Sure it'll be a challenge, but I'm not going to let that put me off.

Problems recording using Logic Express 9

Hi everybody,
I'm a new Mac user. I'm a musician and I recently started to use a home studio for small projects.
Lately, I acquired some nice microphones to record a classical guitar and other acoustic instruments through Logic. However, something's going wrong and I can't make it work.
Before I describe the problem, let me tell you what I use:
- iMac (OS Lion 10.7)
- Logic Express 9
- m-audio Fast track ultra
- Rode NT5 condenser microphones
Problem:
As stated before, I'm having trouble using my microphones. Logic just doesn't hear the signal. However, if I plug a guitar directly into the m-audio box andf then into Logic, I can record no problem. Same thing if I use an electric piano (Yamaha P-95) into the m-audio box then into Logic with the Midi sound bank, everything's fine! It all goes dead when I plug in the microphones. The weird thing is that I can hear and see the signal through the m-audio box using headphones. However, Logic doesn't even show me a sign of any activity. I thought it had something to do with the Phantom power, but no. I tried and nothing. My guess is that something needs to be activated in Logic but I just can't find it.
Anybody with an idea?
thanks
CJ

Hi,
no worries, these are all good suggestions to check out.
Actually, I did all of this already, but the problem was somewhere else....
I finally found what it was. The m-audio has a software that has a board control and the "software returns" signal was off.
Also, a good "restart" of my computer made things a bit easier.
Thanks for your help!

Problem while trying logic express

I have to decide if I prefer logic to dp5, so i got logic express trial and it seems
pretty friendly but !! I got an error message: error while syncronizing with midi.
and also logic xpress rarely reconized or load audiocore properly.
Dp5 ? works ok but craches all the time...
Kind of lost a bit...
thanks

I solved the problem. The problem was that my network was crypted by WPA2-PSK(TKIP), wich is not compatible with the AirPort. I re-crypted my network with WPA2-PSK(AES), and it works now.

Logic Express 7.2.1 + MacBook: sleep problem?

Here's the thing: I'm using Logic Express on my MacBook, and it works just fine (a few audio tracks and Logic softsynths). However, if I put the machine to sleep with Logic still open, the next time I wake the machine, there is no sound generated from Logic! The meters all show activity, but I can't hear anything...
I have tried restarting the Core audio driver within Logic, but this makes no difference; the only solution is to quit Logic and restart, at which point it all works fine again...
Anyone else found this problem? I'm not using any external devices, just built-in audio.
Thanks,

Hi Niili,
I have the same problem with a digi drivers too,
I didn't have a clue on how to to deal with iet,
you wanna laght?
When I use Protools Le, I can have lower buffers without problem,
not with logic!
It problably have to do with the drivers.
I'll get back to you, if I have better news.
I'll hope the you do the same if you discover a turn around it.
Or any mates out here!
:o)
Kindly regards,
Jorge

Problem importing Garageband songs into Logic Express

Hi I have spent around 4 hours looking for an answer to this problem so hopefully it has'nt been answered before apolgies if it has.
I am trying to import a Garageband Song into Logic Express (7.1) it appears to import it to Logic but when finished it reads file corrupt not a Logic File.
I followed the tutorial opened the GB song and followed the instructions on how to import but I cant import it to Logic without the above message coming up.
Any ideas?
I'm using a MacBook Pro with 10.4.9 on it.Logic is version 7.1 (Is there a known bug when importing?)
Thank you if you can help.
KB.

Hi KB,
Welcome to the forum!
the answer is within your question;
your machine needs the universal Logic express (7.2)
and your GB's probably GB 3.
That's the reason you can open the files.
If you bought version 7 "new"(from the reseler)
ask for version 7.2, as you can't buy crossgrade anymore.
(until logic sells a new one)
"You just bought diesel and your machine's not run on it"
rule number 1: You should Allways look for system requirements and software versions compability!
Cheers,

Problems with audio track through US-122 in Logic Express

Hi,
This may be a completely stupid question, but I'm having problems with recording through my Tascam US-122 in Logic Express. I can't get anything to register on the level meter in Logic Express (neither direct input nor microphone input). However, I can get the input from the Tascam to register in the system preferences menu outside of Logic, and can get the built in mic on my IBook to register inside of logic. Does anyone have any ideas for me to try out? I've looked in the manual and I'm supposed to be getting the Logic Express training book soon, but I was hoping to record sooner than that.
Thanks!
Shawn J

Sorry, ignore the above. I needed to enable record before the level would show up.

Sample Rate Problems going from Garage Band to Logic Express

I've downloaded the Trial Version of Logic Express. When it launched it changes the i/o sample Rate that is required by Garage Band (I'm using a digi002 i/o). The result is that garage band plays back at a fraction of it normal rate (sounds like crap).
It wasn't a problem until the trial ran out on Logic Express. I could change the sample rate back inside Logic. Hummm ... what to do? I don't see any place to change the rate in the garage band preferences or in the core audio interface. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
G4 1.25 dual, mirror Mac OS X (10.4.6)
G4 1.25 dual, mirror Mac OS X (10.3.9)
G4 1.25 dual, mirror Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I've never had any such problem with Logic Express. GB files just load up, and work fine. Did you change anything in Logic Express? There are setting for that there, but even songs I open after I changed LE to 24 bit, work fine.
Wait, are you saying LE is changing the sample rate, and then it stays that way when you open GB? Hmmm, What do you have LE set for? I think mine is set at 24/96, but I'd have to look to be sure. But I am not using the same interface as you are. It might be something you just have to live with. Have you tried posting this in the LE7 forum? Maybe one the gurus there knows what you can do.
Oh, and I am using GB 2, not GB 1, but I am not sure that is relevant.

Region Flex problems Logic Express 9

Hello
I have a really annoying problem using Flex Time in Logic Express 9.
Whenever I try to extend a region the length automatically jumps by an entire bar longer. I have switched Snap to Ticks so it's not that (once it has leapt a whole bar it resizes fine).
It is infuriating! I only want to stretch the audio a couple of ticks as I am trying to match an acapella to a beat.
Please help before I throw my laptop out of a window!!

Will the Audio MIDI Setup utility allow you to configure things properly?

Interfacing Problems Logic Express 8 - Prism Sound Orpheus

Dear All,
I am having some interfacing troubles between Logic Epress 8.0.2 and Prism Sound Orpheus Firewire interface everytime I am using a sample frequency other than 44,1 KHz.
I have to say that in the past (with my Edirol Fireface FA-66, I was already able to record at 192 KHz, but since some month (also trying with the FA-66), I am getting this message:
"Error while trying to syncronize Audio and MIDI. Sample rate 44100 recognized. Check conflict between Logic Express and external device (Actually, I am not doing anything at MIDI level, since I am just doing acoustic recordings of myself as baritone and my friend pianist.
So, maybe, I have modified unconsciously somewhere and due to my inexperience, I am not able to understand where…
What I do in Logic is: "File" > "Project Settings" > "Audio" and in "Sample Rate" I chose, for example "96000".
After having armed the tracks I push the record button and just after a few seconds the process blocks and above message appears.
There is an article on the support page of Logic, but, I as it seems either it does not work in my case or I am not able to make it work…
Could you be so kind to help me?
Many thanks in advance
Marco

I reply to both Caramby and John Alcock.
Thank you again for your support and assistance.
To John Alcock:
1) What is your I/O buffer size set to in Logic? > 512
2) Is ADAT set to 'none' in the Orpheus Control Panel > Yes (beautiful interface, BTW! > I also like it very much, thank you)
3) What else is connected to your firewire bus? > Nothing else
4) Did this problem appear at the same time as upgrading to 10.5.6? > Beautiful question: it could be. The problem is that I do not know what version I had when I bought the Mac (December 2007)... I looked on the backup copy of the CD-ROM but just "10.5" is mentioned.
In any case I would like to stress that in the past with my Edirol I was able to record with Logic at 192KHz and then since various months (maybe also a year, in the meantime), I am no longer able to do this (now only at 44.1 Khz). Do you think this depends on Mac OSX 10.5.6? But why can I record with Audacity at 96KHz NOW and I cannot do the same with Logic?
To Caramby:
In the meantime I also contacted Prism Sound. They are informed of the problem and will analyze also my system profiler, which I sent today. I think in the next days I should get a reply from them.
Any advice and comment is most welcome! Thank you again for your patience!
