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!

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 8.02 Mac Pro TDM Digi 96 i/0 OSX 10.5.5 - HEEELP!!!

Anyone running Logic 8.02 in TDM successfully on a Mac Pro?
I've reinstalled and checked everything for months now!
Still no sound from EXS (TDMAux) or any Dtdm / ESB . .. only audio . .
Help!

*Hi Dane. Great thanks for helping us!*
I'll answer your q's
+With the Magma, do you still keep 1 Core card in the host computer?(with HD3 i have all cards inside my mac.)+
Only Magma-card in computer (since it's PCI-Express) and all the (4) PT-cards (including core) in Magma. I have 1 HD Core, 1 HD Accel, 2 HD Process. All checks out "passed"
+Are you running SpotLight?(I have mine turned on on the main OS X HD, ad off on my Recording/Audio/Logic&Pro Tools Sessions.)+
Tried both.
+Are you using a dedicated, separate (from the OS) HD for ALL Recording/Audio/Logic&Pro Tools Sessions?+
Yes.
+Have you tried removing ALL plugins from there normally kept folders, and booted? Keeping the plugins in a folder on your desktop? to see if they are interfering..+
Yes. In addition, I've made 2 separate fresh LeopardPTLogic installations on 2 separate HD's, to be able to try different things . .
+Read this it helped me understand what is happening technically.+
+http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=254&highlight=+
Ok. I actually glanced at it . . but I'll read it again, thoroughly!
+Have you read though a followed the Logic Pro 8 TDM Guide located here and in your Logic app?+
+http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/LogicPro_8_TDMGuide.pdf+
Yes. Very uninformative indeed. I must say, having been a Mac-freak since early '90s, Apple's support and documentation on possible and reported problems really *****. It feels like the TDM-crowd was abandoned the minute Apple bought Logic.
+Simple, but is you Logic Pro working fine with only Core Audio running? (no DAE & DTDM)+
Yes.

Ethernet from Express to Mac Pro?

I have a Mac Pro that doesn't have an airport card installed, and I don't want to go through the hassle of bringing it in and installing one. I use a Linksys wireless router in another room, and I was wondering if it would be possible to buy an Airport Express, have it recognize and use the wireless network from the other room and then run an ethernet cable from the Express to the Mac Pro to gt on the internet. If this isn't possible with the Airport Express, can it be done with a regular wireless router? Thanks for your help!

Can I use an older Airport Extreme base station (I think it's a B/G) instead of the Linksys, use an Airport Express to join that wireless network, and then run an Ethernet cable from the Airport Express to the Mac Pro?

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...

Install airport express to mac pro desktop

I bought an OEM Apple Express card and need to install it into my Mac Pro version 3,1 desktop. If anyone has verbal or other links to how to do so it would be great. Thanks!

These instructions are for the earlier Mac Pro, but should still be helpful.
This may help

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 7.2/ Mac Pro / Usb Controller - K61

Have just installed korg k61 to run with logic 7.2, apart from on the lowest octave, the keys c,e and g sharp are not triggering, any suggestions??

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

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

Logic & The New Mac Pros

I know it's early, but is there any news/issues on using the new Mac Pros w/ logic?
- what about using non-universal plugs - will they work too?
- any performance tests related to a G5?
- etc......???

The main problem is that non UB plugs won't work, but I think that most developers are coming to address this, and with arrival of the Mac Pro, their incentive will be even greater. I would love to see some benchmarks, but it seems to me that the only real ones will be with the elusive 7.2.2. I am really loving my MacBook - honestly, I had never expected this much performance from a laptop running Logic, it has really blown me away.
I'm certain that the Mac Pro will be one beast of a desktop, and also quiter that the G5s. Bare in mind though that they are Rev. A., and I would be hugely surprised if they have no problems.
Even still, these machines will really give HD Accel systems a run for their money, and I think we could be about to see a massive change in what people are using for their music production systems. I'm not saying that people will switch from PT systems, but with the reduced price of an MP, that kind of processing power will be available to more people. This kind of release has the potential to give us Mac users that ultimate power experience without forking out for Digi hardware, giving us flexibility on both software and also hardware.
One thing that I really hope will happen is that more and more people will begin to realise that, with more computer power, their dreams are the limit. I am honestly surprised at how few bands use Logic live. For me, it is my instrument. Certainly, one of these days it will probably crash, but I keep my system in good shape, and reckon I have minimised the risk by as much as I can. My MacBook offers me so much more power than my PB used to, and I haven't even started pushing it live. In recording situations, I push it very, very occasionally to the max, and continue to be amazed. All I need now to work out is how to have my sequencer running AND be able to live switch my instruments in the way I do.
To return to the topic, bring it on! One of these beasts is definitely in my sights, but personally I will wait until Rev. B. or until enough people have accepted to guinea pig the system.
Best, Fred
P.S. Counter to my argument, my MB is Rev. A.

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)!!!

Airport Express and Mac pro without Aiport Extreme

Hi
I'm connected to my neighbors router normally on my macbook pro. Now I've bought a mac pro without airport and I've got this old Express which I've been told to work with my mac pro.
I've tried the Airport Utility to route the neighbors signal to my Airport express. After I've entered the password to the original network the airport reboots and doesn't show anywhere.
The mac pro says that I can't get connection to the net and in "system prefs" I hasn't got any IP or connection on the ethernet ports.
I'm using leopard BTW.

Is your neighbor's wireless router another AirPort or Time Capsule? If not, you will not be able to configure both routers for a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). This would be required to enable the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) Ethernet port for your Mac Pro.

Logic 7 and Mac Pro Quad Core

Hi all.
I'm thinking of getting one of the new Mac Pro's, and am considering the Quad Core version. I'm just wondering whether this will actually improve the performance of my apps, particularly Logic 7 and Live 6. I know that these both support mutiple cores/processors, but is this currently limited to the usual 2 core/2 processor per core arrangement found in the first Mac Pros? Will the other processors get any use at all? Will I have to wait until further upgrades of the software to maximize it's potential?
Thanks

Hi Bryan.
I love both apps for different reasons. Live is just fantastic for knocking out a demo for a song. So quick and easy and I don't lose any momentum or enthusiasm for the song.
Logic is by far the superior app, but I tend to go to it once the song is fairly structured in Live. I bounce any tracks that use 3rd party plugins out of Live and recompile in Logic. Any loops that I use tend to stay in Live and I link it up via ReWire. That way I can keep the sponteneity of the various Scenes in Live, while the song is being built up in Logic. I do bounce those loops out of Live eventually and edit them in Logic before running off the final mix.
I also use Protools as well. I hate it's MIDI editing. Absolutely terrible. But I use it for doing umpteen takes of vocals/guitars, comp them and then bounce out the finished file. I play along to a version of the backing tracks bounced out of Logic and placed on another track. Protools is the best audio editor for sure.
They're all good Bryan. Each one has it's own way of working with music and leads you towards decisions that the others may not. It's also good to work on one part in one DAW, commit to the take/edit, bounce out, and keep working with the resultant file in another DAW. I find if I keep it all in one, I just keep tweaking, and tweaking....
See ya

Running Logic Studio on Mac pro G5 AND MacBook Pro with dongle

Hi..I have been running the latest version of Logic on my Mac G5 for many years now but also want to run it on my MacBook Pro. I have installed Logic studio from the original disks but the program will not load with or without my emagic dongle. I thought the whole point of the dongle is that you can take your work to different studios as the sole user of the program. What is wrong here?
Thanks in advance.

I've just noted that Waveburner will work!

How can I enable 16 outs from Logic with Intel Mac Pro?

Hi everyone,
I am a bit new to the digital output world! I have a Digi002 with Logic 7 and I have a Behringer A/D converter box to recieve digital output using optical cable. My question is this: I can only see 8 normal stereo outputs plus additional 9-10 output. Is there a command in Logic (as per the old "enable 16 in/outs in 5.5)to allow the greyed out extra outputs to work? or I am being very stupid and not enabling some command on the Mac?
I thank you all in advance for any kind responses!

I see you're using a Behringer A/D converter. I had one of these once. It made a lot of noise: crackling, pops etc. I know that was the cause as they only happened on those 8 tracks.
I may have had a lemon, but if you get similar problems, (and I hope you don't) I have changed to the Alesis AI3 and now have no problems, it might be worth you making a mental note.

Can anyone recommend apple extreme vs express for Mac pro and 2x iPads in home setting?

Looking for advice on use of express vs extreme for home use

The Extreme is dual band, so faster devices will connect to the faster band while slower devices connect at their own pace. The slower devices will not slow down the faster devices, as would be the case with the single band AirPort Expess.
The USB port on the Extreme will support a hard drive and/or a printer. The USB port on the AirPort Express will support only a printer.
The Extreme uses a new antenna array that will result in better coverage and deeper penetration of the signal. The Express uses a simple antenna arrangement.
If you plan to connect any wired devices to the the router, the Exteme has 3 Ethernet ports. The single Ethernet port on the Express will be used to connect to the modem, so any other wired devices will not be able to connect to the Express.
The Express will handle a total of 10 wireless connections, while the Extreme will handle up to 50.
For an $80 premium the Extreme probably provides 3 times the performance capabilty of an Express. That makes it a no brainer for me, but you and others may disagree.
