Logic has terrible Orchestral plug-ins, but I suppose this is a common issue since others are so expensive.

I would guess quality in this field comes pricey, since I found out the top of the line "Vienna Symphonic Library" can run up to $6 grand or more. So my question is, since there are so many "VSL" versions to choose from where do I start. I mean, is anyone familiar enough to recommend the best "Software Bundle" to choose from under $2 grand for this highly exceptional line.
   My main problem with Logics bundle is the attack times. They are so slow that anything remotely fast never allows the notes to spring into full fruition. it's impossible getting any furiously fast violin, and the choirs fair little better. I hadn't even tried the Brass section yet since what's the point if the string section is so poor. And speaking of which, their String Ensemble sounds like anything but. It's more like a single stringed instrument with a bit of reverb -- if that even, I thought GarageBand was bad. So that is how I came to the conclusion such quality Orchestral Software is hard to come by. I play mainly Epic Metal and great sounding Choir, String, and Brass sections are non-negotiable, but I had no idea I'de be laying out as much for the right software as I had for my new MacBook Pro. If thems the breaks so beat it, I'm too seasoned a musician to not finally produce some quality material, even if it kills me.
  O, and one more thing. I'm still confused about Logic. My new Bundle box says "Logic Studio," but the app says Logic Pro, so I figured it doesn't really matter. But then I often get asked which one of these do I have, like even before posting this quirey. I suppose that Logic Studio contains Logic Pro plus other stuff, whereas Logic Pro is just that minus all the extras. Wow, I can't believe I finally figured it out, I think.

I agree with you about the volume on the phone itself. (I have 3Gs). It needs to be louder. I also wear hearing aids. However I do think there may be something wrong with your phone because when I connect my earbuds (Klipsh) I get very good volume through them. In fact at full volume it's way too loud. I would push for a replacement phone.
FWIW, my daughter (who also wears hearing aids) has trouble hearing her iphone. It appears to have more to do with the speaker not being lined up with the hearing aid's input. Her audiologist pointed out that some current hearing aids support bluetooth, I think we will get those next time we replace her hearing aids.

    Is it possible to support Logic in 32-bit plug-ins in future updates? How about to make a bridge built in Logic. I would have long ago moved on to a new version of Logic, but I have the equipment (UAD-1 and Liquid Mix), which are not run on the Loqic X. So I would suggest to make a bridge in Logic X. As it was in version 9 of the Logic.

    In addition.. Focusrite have stated they will not be releasing a 64bit version of Liquid Mix as they consider it outdated software these days.... even though at one point a limited release beta version had a 64bit AU version included but it was so unstable it was rapidly dropped...
    However the 32bit to 64bit bridge plugin 32 Lives,  states it will handle and 'convert' the Stereo version of Liquid Mix to 64bit but not the Mono version... within LPX
    http://www.soundradix.com/products/32-lives/compatibility
    Finally, like others here, I would be extremely surprised if Apple added 32bit AU support back into LPX..  That '32bit tech' is long dead and gone....in terms of modern DAWs... as it is in other DAWs such as the recent PT versions...

  • Where does Logic Pro 7 install plug-ins?

    Apologies, but I cannot find the answer to this question. Thanks in advance for any help!
    Where does Logic Pro 7 install plug-ins by default on the computer? I have searched all through the Macintosh HD Library and with Spotlight to no avail.

    Logic (and most other DAW host) applications deliberately do not make their plugins phycially separate AU (or VST) plugins that get installed in the Compononets folder. They do not want you to be able to use then with any other program. They are "inetgrated" into the code, and so not usable outside the app. Or the idea is, you don't get the plugins unless you buy the host program (and it is also a way to lock you into using their DAW software).
    There was once I think talk of making some Logic plugins available as a 3rd party package, but that may have been before the Apple acquisition. So if you want your work to be portable to other DAW programs, then you are better off not using any of Logic's built-in plugins (and other 3rd party plugins do what Logic's plugins do, often better, though obviously you must pay for 3rd party plugins).

    There's two different versions of Flash. The ActiveX version for IE, and the Plugin version for other browsers. Did you install the correct version? This forum's software doesn't thing that Flash is installed for Firefox or the Plugin is disabled.

  • World music & orchestra plug ins keep disappearing and reappearing

    I'd be grateful if anyone can explain how to keep the plug ins like orchestral and world instruments in my library permanently as sometimes when I select an instrument, the plug ins disappear from the list and I don't know how to access them until they somehow re appear. Is there an icon or a setting I can select to keep all the instruments in the library tab at all times.
    These plug ins came with logic express automatically.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hello Again,
    I tried adding a new software instrument, then clicked on the settings button - but still no world or orchestral options - according to the manual they should automatically be in the settings tab along with all the other usual options - I'm wondering if it's a bug in logic express 9?

  • Logic has an appetite for RAM - but only this week

    Greetings.
    I'm using the Mac Pro at work, so ignore my signature specifications.
    This week Logic has completely swallowed my RAM, both on session with lots of tracks and plug-ins, and also on the light sessions where there would never usually be a problem.
    A colleague installed the Sonic Birth plug-in last Friday. Could this have contributed to some weirdness?
    Even without a session open, just the application running on its own, it's eating up 1.06 GB of real memory (according to Activity Monitor). This seems a trifle odd. I'm not running anything else out of the ordinary.
    The Mac's specs;
    2x 2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
    2 GB RAM
    OSX 10.5.8
    Logic 8
    I am aware that 2 GB is not a lot of memory for a Mac Pro, however it's been running fine for the past 10 months so I don't believe that is the issue. If anyone can offer a suggestion, I'd be most grateful.

    On my system both Logic 8 & 9 use less than 200MB real memory, even with my default project open, with no project open it's less. You're sure there's not something open in the background? Logic-8 does use about 1GB virtual memory, Logic-9 uses about 1.6GB virtual.
    If you think the problem is Plugin related you can always move 3rd party plugins out of your components folder for testing.

  • My E-MU X-board49 controls Logic, why not my plug-ins?

    I hope somebody can shed some light on this: Logic 9 is excellent with my X-board. I am able to program what I want and Logic learns it perfectly. What I'm wondering is, why don't my external plug-ins respond to my controller in the same manor as Logic? I mean, SOME Native Instruments plugs will attach when I click the "learn midi" button, but most do nothing. For example, I click "learn midi" on my Waves plugs and they don't respond at all. Is there some kind of menu within Logic where I can program my plug-ins to respond to the X-board, or are they just not compatible? Thanks!

    Guess you can set up such things through the environement but that is really not my strong side.
    Me, I use a novation controller with the AutoMap function. That works with Waves and most other plugins.
    Do a search for Environement tutorials or wait for a better reply.

  • Logic Pro 7 instrument plug ins....trouble

    After long hours and no result.....have to rely to the connoisseur
    Some instrument plug ins work (EVB3) and others give me a regular noise before and after loading a sound (ESX24, EVD6,...)
    It happens at regular intervals...like a metronome but those bangs appear when the memory display updates itself.
    If somebody can tip me
    thanks
