Logic Express Sync Issue

MAC G5 2.0 dual 1mb RAM Tiger Digi 002 Pro Tools 6.9.2
Last night I downloaded and installed the Logic 7 Express demo from
the apple site. After opening and setting up logic I opened a current
Garage Band file. It plays very slow and sluggish. Similar to when you
have the sample rate set incorrectly. I keep getting sample rate
errors but can't seem to get it corrected. I tweaked most of the
options under the synchronization menu to no avail.
Pro Tools still runs fine, but Garage Band now does the same thing.
What did I hose? If I use the internal sound drivers from apple all is
well. I feel the issue is tied to Digi's core audio drivers.
Any suggestions?

Call apple support. You'll have to provide a proof of purchase and they probably will give you a new serial no.

Logic Express Overload Issues on 2007 MBP

So, i've been having a lot of trouble with overload issues on my 2007 MacBook Pro. It's really got me confused because the problem seemed to just start occurring recently on fairly simple projects. My macbook has 2.2 core duo processors, 4gb rams, ~60 gigs of free HD space, and I'm running projects from an external drive. I am aware of the tricks for optimizing projects (balancing processor thread loads and whatnot) so please don't point me to that section of Logic's manual. I just have no idea what the problem is, especially since I used to run fairly large projects in the past with very little free HD space and somehow got away with it.

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The error you mention can be fixed by Disk Warrior.

Logic Timecode Sync Issues - Subframes

Trying to use Logic Pro 9 for playback doing a music video. I have already created tracks needed .. 1 channel mix of the soundtrack which is striped with 24fps timecode on channel 2. Logic Pro has been set to 24fps in the options, and is reading the timecode correctly. I have a smart slate hooked up to the same timecode source as well.
The problem is, the smart slate obviously does not display "subframes" like Logic Pro's transport does. When I stop playback, randomly the timecode on Logic Pro will read out (for example) 01:00:25:14:57, while my slate will read 01:00:25:15. It seems like the subframe section of the meter is not correct or really doesn't need to be there, and is causing problems. Is there a way to fix this or turn subframes off or even set them correctly?

Look at preferences/display.

I just installed Lion and the newest version of Logic express 9 (9.1.5) and every time i playback audio I get this error message: [Disk is too slow or System Overload. (-10010) . Never had any issues before now...

I just installed OSX Lion (10.7.2) and updated to the newest version of Logic express (9.1.5) on a macbook and every time I playback audio I get this error message: [Disk is too slow or System Overload. (-10010) The Sudden Motion Sensor may have parked the hard drive head, or the disk performance is not sufficient to read or write all audio tracks, or the system was not able to process all data in time]
Never had any issues before now... any ideas?

Have a look into the Preferences folder (YourUserFolder/Libraries/Preferences/) and trash all Logic preferences.
You'll have to setup the program again.

Sync microKorg with Logic Express 9

I'm trying to sync the arpeggiator of my microKorg XL with Logic Express 9, using Logic as the master. I seem to have almost done it, in that tempo changes in Logic change the microKorg's tempo. However, I can only hear the microKorg whilst I'm either recording or playing back - I can't hear it if I press a few keys.
I think the problem lies in that I have "Local off" set in accordance with the microKorg manual. The manual says I should also "turn on echo back" on the computer - but I don't know how to do this in Logic Express.
Grateful for advice.

When you set "Local Off" in any synth with MIDI capability, it disconnects synth's keyboard from its sound engine. Switch it back ON to be able to play sounds again using microKorg's keyboard. There is no point to disable the keyboard in your case anyways. Unless of course, you want to avoid midi-loop (but that's only when you have both MIDI IN and MIDI OUT wired to Logic).

Sync Issue with Handmark Pocket Express

I have a newly purchased Treo 755p for Sprint preloaded with Handmark Pocket Express. This seems to be a handy application; however, it is causing an annoying sync issue. At each sync session, Express goes through all of its subjects syncing between handheld and PC. I am not sure if it was already in my pc Palm Desktop software or it loaded from the Treo the first time I sync'd. I have unchecked from the conduit setup on the Treo anything I can identify with Express but it still synchs and this take time. I have no interest with it on the PC but do like it on the Treo. I only want to continue to sync the calendar, contacts, memos, and tasks. I like the Express on the Treo but as a last resort, would consider removing it from the Treo if that was the only option. Would appreciate any help to stop the synch problem with Express. If no solution, would appreciate guidance to remove the ap from the Treo. I have a MAC with OS X 10.4, Palm Desktop v4.2.2, and Express v4.25.235.
Many thanks,
Jerryg

Having similar problem. PocketMac kept duplicating some, but not all, contacts. I deleted all of them on the Curve, make a group in my Address Book called "Blackberry Friends" and synced to that only. Worked great -- until I ran the sync again. Now, I again have dulicates of some, but not all, contacts. Seems like the same contacts get duplicated each time, but can't be absolutely positive.
In addition, in some cases, PocketMac deletes info from my Address Book. Like home addresses, etc. Also, it does not always sync all info that is in Address Book. For instance, I have birthdays for most of my contacts. Pocket Mac witll synd some of them, but not all. I have used "two-way syncing" and "overwrite device" -- same results.
Running 10.5.6, have deleted and reinstalled the PocketMac software (helped some) but still issues. Anybody got any help?
Thanks in advance!

Internal Logic sync issue

hello Community:
I'm stuck in writing limbo now , due to a bizarre and never before seen problem in Logic 9.1.4
a Sync or internal timing issue.....for no reason of my doing, this is what occurs:
1. Using my same Autoload setup used for years, and am simply sequencing MIDI and audio
2. When i record AUDIO at bar 1, then try to LOCK it and SAVE (command-S) the file region vanishes
and ends up placed at the END of my entire autoload sequence- bar 1749 ..... what the $%^ ?
3. the transport position indicator for the region reads "????"
4. MIDI does the same and opening the MIDI region shows that all note informaiton is placed at the same bar (in this case bar 7)
5. if i UNDO this operation, then regions reappear correctly at Bar 1, but i cannot LOCK any regions without this sync issue
There are NO tempo changes programmed in thi sequence- eveything including signature are same.
I have done nothing to change any setting in preferences, project setting or otherwise
this has never happened in the 14 years I've been working on Logic.....dunno
Your URGENT help appreciated!!!

Hey again Pan:
am still having this annoying issue of vanishing Audio regions in my Logic sequence
checked on your above Prefs setting and all is fine
When i record an audio track and try to SAVE and LOCK it - it jumps to the end of my entire bar sequence
if i UNDO this operaiton it returns, but i can only save the sequence with all unlocked regions...
not useful as I do primarlly scoring use for picture.
any other suggestions
I'm running Presonus Firestudio interfaces outboard, but not sure if this wouls screw things up
ANy help again great
cheers

Logic Express not syncing with phonics firewire board via audio midi

I am unable to get my logic express to sync with the phonics helix firewire board. the phonics board is recognized by the midi audio set up, but only sometimes.
I have tried adjusting the sample rate in logic and in audio midi and I have tried switching the clock source from mac to device as well as changing the firewire chord.
I am unable to get sound through the board to the computer or from the computer through the board.
I am also receiving error messages regarding the programs reading of the sample rate.
Please help.
Thank you

I received an excellent pointer over on the Mackie support forum, and that was to set up an Aggregate Device in the OS X Audio Midi Setup utility.
That worked great, and now I have analog input to my 400F, and output/monitoring on my Mac's Built-in Line Out/speakers.

Syncing Fast Track Ultra (Slave) With Logic Express (Master)

I'm trying to get my fast track to slave with Logic Express, using Logic as the master. It doesn't appear to be sending out any messages. On my fast track I can get the midi 'in' light to blink but not the 'out.' in Logic, the transport bar on the bottom, says 'no midi' for both the in and the out. Does this sound like a Logic setup issue or a fast track ultra setup issue?

Hi,
1st: You need to set your drum machine clock to external. That's important if you want to make Logic the master. Be aware any clock signal only is available when Logic is in play mode (naturally, but sometimes i forget even the most logical things).
2nd: In the Audio-Midi-Setup, the Fast Track should be displayed. Open the MIDI window (Window-> show MIDI window). Click on the "add device" icon. A new device will be added (new external device). Now open the inspector for this new device. You can name it, adjust all these things like MIDI clock send/receive and other gizmos and give it a nice icon. Now you must "connect" this new device with you Fast track by simpy dragging a line from it's outputs to the Fast track input and vice versa. The MIDI setup window will now represent your hardware's cabeling.
Once you have done this correctly, you should be able to correctly select the Drum machine in Logic.

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.

Logic Express 7.2 can't find contiguous sync to sync video properly

I'm trying to Sync video in Logic Express, I remember in Logic Pro that there was a contiguous Sync section that you could uncheck on the movie and then the movie would play fine, but now I keep on seeing the movie continually hunting for the correct BPM, speeding up and slowing down..
Can anyone help me to stop the movie from hunting all the time..?
Thanks

Logic Pro X and Reason 7 Rewire Sync Issues

Hello,
I'm running logic pro X (V10.07) and Reason V7.01 (in rewire slave mode).
My drum tracks come from reason, and I've recorded bass and guitar in logic.
My issue: When I play back the track FROM LOGIC, the drums are out of sync with the music. It's in the milliseconds but definitely noticeable and makes everythign sound...off.
Oddly, when I play back the track from Reason (I start it using the Reason transport, rather than Logic Pro X), the track sounds fine.
I've attached a screenshot of my Logic Pro X preferences. Not sure what to do here -- when I bounce the track down, it's the same as if I start it from the logic transport (i.e. the music and beats are out of sync).

Resolved. Turns out my version of Reason needed an update.

Feeling Ripped Off - Logic Express 9 Upgrade Issue

Hi, I have been using Logic Express 8 for about a year. I just bought the upgrade for Logic Express 9. I started installing it, entered the serial number and then I was prompted to enter the serial number for my Logic Express 8.
I have since misplaced my LE 8 booklet with the serial number on the back (a bunch of stuff didn't make it to my new apartment in a move). I didn't think this would be a big deal. I thought I would be able to find the serial number of my current version of LE 8 by clicking on the "About Logic Express" tab when I have the program running. However, when you click this all you get is who it is registered to (me) and the version number (8.02).
I called technical support and asked them where I can find the serial number and they said sure, "click on About Logic Express when you have the program open and it will be right there (he also called it the splash page)." It wasn't and isn't. The tech support person said "ah yes, only the previous versions of Logic Express show you the serial number of the version you currently are running." I asked if there was anywhere else that I could find this number and he said "no."
Solutions? He suggested I find my receipt and fax it in and get a new serial number. Impossible, I don't have the receipt. Call the store and see if they can dig it up. Let's get real. It was purchased with Xmas money in cash I got from my parents.
Basically, I'm screwed. I have an opened LE 9 upgrade that I can't return. I have a version of LE 8 that I legally purchased and for some dumb reason there isn't a file or page or something in the program that notes my serial number.
Not fair. I guess I have to tattoo all serial numbers for stuff I purchase from Apple to my arms on the chance that I lose a booklet. Why Apple doesn't include a file or store the serial number of the LE version you are running somewhere on the system is beyond me.
So, I feel ripped off. Apple doesn't care. I thought there would be some way we could work this out (like printing the screenshot of the page that says I am the registered owner) but they would rather try to get another $100 out of a loyal Apple customer and force me to buy LE 9 straight up. I've probably spent about $7,000 on Apple stuff in the past 6 years. I am the definition of a loyal customer.
Not fair.

You didn't buy Logic Express, you merely paid for the right to use it. When you install it, you are presented with the license agreement to which you must agree.
At the top of the agreement it reads "IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THE LICENSE, YOU MAY RETURN THE APPLE SOFTWARE TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU OBTAINED IT FOR A REFUND...."
So, try taking it back to the store and telling them you declined the license agreement and want a refund.
You can find a copy of the Logic Express license agreement here: http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/logicexpress.pdf

Logic express 7.2.1 with Tascam US-122 issue

Im running Mac OS X 10.4.7 on a Powerbook 1.67 Ghz PowerPC G4 with 512 in RAM. My software is Logic Express 7.2.1.
I've installed the latest drivers to my USB external audio device Tascam US-122: 3.4.0 found on Tascam's website.
Here is the problem: I need to use sample rates (I/O buffer size) 512 or 1024 otherwise it starts to "crackle" and telling "system overload". With my new latop it should run on 64 or even 32.
- Any help what the problem is?
I have tried both re-installing logic express and us-122 drivers.

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

Tascam 1884 and Logic Express 7.2.3 - Master Fader Issue

I am currently having a slightly annoying problem between Logic Express and my Tascam 1884. Whenever I move the Master Fader on the Tascam, it changes the output of the currently selected track in Logic rather than Output 1-2 as it should and used to do.
I opened up the package contents of Logic to check the control surface drivers to see if there was a new version available. The one installed in Logic for the 1884 was labled as v1.0. I checked on the Tascam website and there was an Application Specific driver for Logic labled as v1.10. I downloaded this and installed it in place of the v1.0 driver and started Logic up. I was greeted with an error message stating that the Control Surface Driver was outdated. To see the actual error message, go here:
http://flickr.com/photos/ephraim909/454973721/
Basically, it is stating that the "newer" version is outdated somehow. Is anyone else having this problem or have any idea what may be going on?
15 in. PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.25gb RAM

Thank you for the response. However, there are a few things wrong with that idea. First of all, that path that both you and Tascam specify to place the bundle is no longer applicable. The place where all the bundles are now is actually in the package contents of Logic Express, where I specified that I placed it. Secondly, there is something wrong with the driver beyond installing it in that, my control surface will no longer install or work. Therefore I cannot just ignore the error message because if I do, then nothing works at all. Once again I appreciate the suggestion, but that doesn't seem to help in my case.
