Logic or Live? Can Logic be used in a live setting similar to Abelton Live?

Hello,
I'm a musician/engineer that wants to start mixing recordings and playing tracks in live performances. I've heard and seen Live do great things so I'm wondering: Can I use Logic and different areas of it [namely, the environment] to create live mixes that are made, recorded, triggered and/or produced live?
If you have experience with Live, would you say it is easy to learn?
If you play live shows using Logic, would you say a one-man show is possible?
I want to do this kind of one-man thing with my recordings and mix them live in a manner similar to Daft Punk or Justice. I'm sure they use multiple things but could something be done with all the softsynths and stuff in Logic? Could a song be sequenced in logic, with triggers setting off different loops and midi notes using TouchTracks?
Any help or examples with either program would be greatly appreciated.

Can I use Logic and different areas of it namely, the environment to create live mixes that are made, recorded, triggered and/or produced live?
Not in the same way. While Logic has some tools, it doesn't have a feature set optimised for this in the way Live does.
If you have experience with Live, would you say it is easy to learn?
Yes, it rocks, and it comes with tutorials which are great at getting you started. Download the demo, it's fully functional apart from save, so it gives you a great oppurtunity to play with it.
Live requires a slight context shift if you are used to traditional DAWs, but once you get it, you'll love it - or you won't get it at all, in which case it might baffle you.
I have both Logic and Live specifically because their feature sets complement each other really well - Logic is a true DAW for recording, mixing and detailed production, Live is a great improvisational tool, great for live use and performance, great for generating material and so on.
Live really is the way to go for this stuff imo.
If you play live shows using Logic, would you say a one-man show is possible?
I can't answer that, because I don't know what your requirements are. If Peter Gabrial can run his shows from Logic, I'm sure you can
But if you want to "DJ" and improvise your sets, rather than just play back set backing tracks - it's gotta be Live.
Could a song be sequenced in logic, with triggers setting off different loops and midi notes using TouchTracks?
Yes, Touchtracks will let you improvise MIDI in this way but they won't do audio (unless you load everything into samplers). Again, I recommend playing with it to see whether it fits your needs. If you are only using MIDI or virtual instruments, then touch tracks could feasibly do this (I used to have great fun with this). But it's no Live, though

ASP Web Forms Error: Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true

Hello,
I am developing a custom application page for a custom Web Forms I am creating, which I plan on using for custom task form into SharePoint 2010 Foundation.
Currently, I am trying to test it in Debug Mode using Visual Studio 2010 but when I am trying to use Sessions I get the error:
Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive. Please also make sure that System.Web.SessionStateModule or a custom session state module is included in the <configuration>\<system.web>\<httpModules> section in the application configuration
I've already done this on trying to fix:
On my page
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="TestForm.aspx.cs" Inherits="TestForm" EnableSessionState="True" %>
And on my web.config
<pages enableSessionState="true">..<httpModules>

<add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>
</httpModules>
Note: I am getting an error when I try to add <module> into web.config
ASP .NET State Service is currently running.
And the part where it keeps error is when in PageLoad, I try to set a List object something like this:
List<object> myobject
get
if (Session["object"] == null)
Session["object"] = new List<object>();
return Session["object"] as List<object>;
set
Session["object"] = value;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
myobject= new List<object>();
BUT the error still persists! I also try to restart IIS but still the error still happens.
I am running out of ideas so can you help me out?
Thank you!

Could be your skype intercepting your requests at 80 port, in Skype options uncheck
Or Your IE has connection checked for Proxy when there is no proxy
Or your fiddler could intercept and act as proxy, uncheck it!
Solves the above problem, It solved mine!

Logic Pro -Used in Live Performance

Hi All,
I know this will seem like shameless self promotion ( it is, kinda...)
But, many folks on this list are always asking about "live" applications of Logic Pro and Virtual Instruments..
Latency, practicality etc..
Well... here is my experience: LIVE,
for your amusement and entertainment:
http://www.youtube.com/user/DrRyman
Macbook Pro 2 gig
RME FF800
Logic Pro
third Party plugs..
( yeah, I'll fess up as to what they are after i see anyone is interested)
Novation SL 61 controller
Let me know what you think,
Daniel

Yeah I haven't even touched the Environment...I don't get how it works whatsoever...and now I have even more complications.
I'm currently using two keyboards. One is a generic midi keyboard with just a midi in/out and another is my Edirol PCR-30. I also have a 8-pad drum machine unit that has it's own built-in-sampler and can also be used as a midi controller.
Now I'd like to "automate" the changes in keyboards. For the record, all of my keyboard sounds come from the built-in audio instrument plug-ins such as the ESX24, Sculpture, ES E, ES P, etc.
How could I have my larger generic keyboard play one sound, while my other controller plays another sound, and then, for example, for the choruses in my songs, have both of them play completely different sounds?
Would I need to get like a MOTU midi interface for all of these?
Is there anyway you can do this WITHOUT using the Environment? If not, could someone show me how to use this or send a screenshot of what their environment looks like so I could use it almost as a guide to building my own environment?
Also, we're trying to send the click track to our drummer without hearing the click in the main mix. Is there anyway to isolate/send the click using a presonus firepod? If not, can anyone reccommend a device that's reliable for this sort of thing?
Finally, what's the best way to connect to the main PA. Do most people run line out from their interface into the tape in of the mixer, or send maybe outs-1-2 to an interface?
I feel like I've conquered the software one day, and then the next I feel like I'm still new to the system. All help is very much appreciated, since I'm no expert at environments or music tech.
Thank you very much,
-D

HT4461 I am taking private music lessons. My teacher and I agreed that learning to use Logic Pro X will be helpful to my progress. If he buys a copy, do I have to buy a second copy in order to use it? Or can we both use it based on purchase?

I am taking private music lessons. My teacher and I agree that it will help my progress for me to learn use Logic Pro X. If he and I both use Logic Pro X only related to his teaching me, do we need to make one purchase or two purchases of Logic Pro X?

First, thank you for your thoughtful and quick response. However, your response seems to confirm my reading of the license agreement that I do not need my own licensed copy of the software.
Secondly, I apologize for not specifically noting that I am talking about running Logic Pro X on a MacAir.
Thirdly, as I read the license agreement, and as you interpret it, if Person A purchases Logic Pro X, and chooses to allow Person B's computer to be one of her five authorized computers to access iTunes/Mac App Store content, then it is not a violation of the license for both Person A and Person B to use Logic Pro X, plus any other content that Person A has or will purchase.
I do not want to commit piracy, of course, but as long as Person A does not violate the five authorized computer limitation and does not levy a charge on Person B for allowing his computer to be one of the five authorized (which would mean Person A is reselling the software, music, podcasts, etc.), I do not understand why Person A allowing Person B to use Logic Pro X is piracy any more than Person A allowing Person B to access iTunes Music. Obviously, if Person A deauthorizes the computer owned by Person B, then Person B can no longer use Logic Pro or listen to or use any other content that Person A has purchased from iTunes.
So if my teacher 1) only permits me, among all of her students, to have a computer that she will authorize, 2) has not reached the five computer authorization limit, and 3) does not charge me for listening to her purchased music or using her apps, including Logic Pro X (my lesson fee will be the same with or without her decision to authorize my computer), then I do not see that as piracy. In fact, it seems content sharing is explicitly permitted by Apple, as long as it is limited to five authorized computers. As for updates, she would apply them to her licensed computer on her MacAir and then authorize the update on my MacAir.
If a teacher tried to authorize more than five computers (which the system does not allow one to do) and/or charged students for using his/her purchased content, that is piracy.
Am I missing something?

Logical path using in abap program

hay,
I want to create file in application server directory.
so i want the user to select the Logical path and file name from screen.so that he can create the file and seved in selected logical path.{path used must be from Instance profile DIR_LOGGING,GLOBALPATH directory etc).
could you pls tell me how to do this using parameter for user input selecting FILE PATH.
Do we have Functional module for Retrieving physical path
from logical path?
could you pls help me..
ambichan.

hey,
Thanks for your reply.
Instead of using logical file name as input, can we allow the user to select logical path using parameter?
I want user to select Logical path or logical file name from parameter. is it possible?
(I want to avoid user to input insteal want to allow user to select the path)

Logical column using data source from 2 generations of same hierarchy

Hi experts,
I'm using Essbase as my data source in CEIM physical layer,
and I have a hierarchy called "Entity" which contains different level of companies,
in Generation 2 I have only one member called "group totals" and in Generation 3 are 5 members representing 5 different industries,
I need to use these total 6 members as slider on the top of the view(a Dial),
and the measure I want to show is scaled in rate, which I can't simply sum up those five members in Gen3 to get Gen2 measurement.
I tried to create a logical column using Entity-default(the alias table) as datasource, it worked but was not sorted in outline style.
I tried to sort them using calculate items in selection steps, but calculate items seemed cannot be shown as section or slider.
So I wonder if I can simply create a logical column that sourced from different generations(in this case, my Gen2 and Gen3) of same hierarchy,
is it possible to do such things?
Thanks for reply.

You could try General Database Discussions the main db foum.
What are you using to migrate your database? Why is it being mapped from varchar2(8) to varchar2(32). It sounds like someone/something is intervening here.

Logic 8 using only one CPU while bouncing

Whenever I bounce a project, Logic 8 uses only one CPU. It also spikes this CPU completely, with the CPU meter going into the red area, which is why I am rather keen on persuading Logic to distribute the load.
Any ideas?
(I've given the support document with tips on how to balance multi-core performance a good read, but it doesn't seem to say anything on this particular subject, and following the advice in the document does nothing to change my CPU load.)

Bouncing is a single core process. Just like rendering is in Final Cut Pro. This won't change until Leopard and Apple's ProApps get better at handling multiple cores.
It's redlining because the processor core is working as fast as it can. Computer processors don't just randomly run slower, they use their resources for the tasks at hand. If it only used 50% of a core, the bounce would take twice as long to process.

Problem while creating logical port using soamanager

Hi all,
I have created a client proxy for web service from a 3rd party system.
When i am creating a logical port for the same consumer proxy i get a error as follows:
RABAX_STATE -e: UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
and a dump saying
" The exception 'CX_SXMLP' was raised, but it was not caught anywhere along the call hierarchy.
Since exceptions represent error situations and this error was not adequately responded to, the running ABAP program
'CL_SXMLP_FRAGMENT=============CP' has to be terminated.
Please suggest what can be done or what can be the problem.
Thanks in advance.
Komal

Pls go to txn SM59 and check if the RFC destination for webservice is working in the test connection.
Then go to txn LPCONFIG and create the logical port using the RFC dest. Pls mention the path suffix appropriately.
Next in your code while instantiating the client proxy pass the logical port name in the constructor (if the LP is not maintained as default).
Pls reward points if the tips are helpful.

Logic is using 16.000.000 TerraByte physical Ram??? See picture:

Hi, I got really massive problems with crashes of Logic. I have a absolute clean and new system with nothing more than Logic and OSX!
Look at that:
[img]http://www.xcellent-productions.de/downloads/activity.png[/img]
The most crashes I got when I have loaded lots of stuff in the EXS and after that opening the Logic preferences (over the menu) or closing that song and opening a new one. It doesn't matter if I use the internal audio driver or an external (Fireface400)
Any suggestions?

Hi,
first of all the terminal top is showing the same.
The problem should everyone of you simply rebuild. I got some (expensive) new 2 GB (now 5 GB at all) but nothing changes because Logic is only able to adress 2 GB Ram. I thought that was a joke, but it's not. Everytime Logic is using more than 2GB the activity window is showing this 16mio stuff.
So, what is that???
I can put 16GB Ram into my Computer and am able to use just 2 of them??? The MacPro is fast enough to open 100 of EXS but can't load instruments? I am really frustrated.
So, does anyone has any advice how I could make the physical Ram used by Logic smaller? I tried to use harddisc speed fast and recording activity less in the virtual memory, but than I can use about one instrument more (28 at all). What is with other samplers like Kontakt. Is it using the same Ram logic is using or does it use a new thread and it's own Ram? Does Redmaticas EXS Manager merge function is of any use against too much Ram using instruments?
Any advice would be very very great!!!!
Reagrds,
Axel

Help - home set up on Imac using logic 8 using Alesis multimix 8 usb mixer

Hi all
Can anyone give advice as to how to i can use my multimix with logic pro on my imac. What im trying to do is get logic to use the inputs from the mixer and then use both the internal speakers as well as sending the signal back to the mixer so as i can use the phones to monitor everything.
Can anyone help please as im tearing my hair out now
PS - i am using logic 8 studio
Thanks all

My system is different, but I'm doing basically the same thing you want to do, with one minor difference.
I have a Yamaha 01V96 with three internal ADAT I/O banks feeding a Presonus Firestudio Lightpipe.
The 01V96 does all of my input/output a/d-d/a conversions. The system looks like this:
01V96-->Presonus Lightpipe-->(Firewire out) into the Mac Pro.
All of my audio goes through the 01V96. The Mac's internal audio is not used. The 01V96 outputs feed a pair of Alesis Prolinear 720DSP speakers.
I think you will either have to attach your speakers to the mixers outputs and not use the internal audio, or you'll have to go into your audio/midi setup and switch from one to the other as the need arrises. I don't think you'll be able to have both of them active at the same time.

Logic not using multiple cores?

I have a project that seems to be burning out my CPU. The music starts distorting and crackling, and I've noticed that the little CPU indicator is hitting the top of the chart. But, I also have the iStat monitor installed, and the CPU never reads as going above 50%.
I have a dual core intel, is it possible that Logic is using only one core?

I have the same problem.
On a i7 iMac with 16 gigs of ram. Logic is only using one core no matter what settings I use (auto, 8 or 4), and even using the bus rerouting trick the plugins still run on the same core. That core create glitch when it reaches 100%, but really only 25% of my iMac is used.
Way to get us spending money, pay 3000$ for a computer that is 4 times faster than the previous one, but then your limited to 25% of what you paid for.

HT4864 Can you use Windows Live Mail to send/recieve iCloud email and share contacts or can I just use iCloud email on my PC without use Live Mail?

Can you use Windows Live Mail to send/recieve iCloud email and share contacts or can I just use iCloud email on my PC without use Live Mail? I want to use one email adress, one contact list and one calendar. I want to be able to have access to all this on my iphone and pc.

You can only use Mail, contacts and calendars will not work, for that you need Outlook.

Does Logic make use of Midi Time Stamp

Hi,
Id like to know if Logic make use of MTS or "Midi Time Stamp" to get enhanced midi timing with MOTU or Digidesign midi interfaces?

Since downloaded ios7 on ipad 3G , I can only use it in the state of GOA, INDIA, where I live. Why can't I use it outside GOA ?

Why can't I use my ipad 3G outside my living area since I've downloaded IOS 7 ? It's frustrating

Check with your service provider and see if it affected something in their profile.

Logic or Live? Can Logic be used in a live setting similar to Abelton Live?
