Logic pro 10 - recording a midi instrument as an audio track

In my Logic 10 song I have a midi instrument that I want to record as an audio track. I can find no way to get the signal from the output of the "harmonica" track to the input of the audio track, apart from recording it using the external speakers. It must be simple to do, but Apple help is no help. Can somebody please help?

Use "Bounce Track in Place".

  • How do I record multiple midi instruments in Logic Pro simultaneously on separate tracks?sim

    Hi. I am trying to record multiple midi instruments simultaneously into Logic Pro 9 through a MOTU USB Fas Lane so that it is similar to recording a live band.
    Essentially:
    Track 1: Midi Keyboard - Motu Fast Lane Input A - Logic Pro - Software Instrument (Absynth)
    Track 2: Midi Drum Kit - Motu Fast Lane Input B - Logic Pro - Software Instrument (Battery)
    Neither Midi device can be set to a separate channel.
    I would have thought this was a really common application (recoding from multiple live midi sources like a band would normally do) yet it seems unnecessarily complicated.
    I gather what I would have to do involves:
    1) Going into the Environment.
    2) Creating a Physical Input
    3) Creating a Sequencer Input
    4) Placing a transofrmer between the Physical Input and the Sequencer Input
    Where to go ffrom there I have not got a clue!
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Incidentally I would also like to record two audio tracks at the same time as the midi track, but hoepfully that does not complicate things further.
    Thanks,
    Luke

    I have it set to Performance mode which according to the owners manual: "This mode makes the XP-30 function as a multitimbral sound
    source, and Performance settings can be modified. If you’re
    using an external MIDI device to control the XP-30 in this
    mode, it will function as a multitimbral sound source."

  • Logic Pro X External Midi Recording

    I am currently working on pulling some projects I have on my Korg Triton workstation onto Logic Pro X. I am having trouble triggering the midi sounds from the Triton to Logic automatically. I was only able to do this once, but I always have to manually hit record on Logic then attempt to time hitting play on the Triton to record my sounds. I've tried various ways of syncing the midi externally and internally to no avail. If anyone understands what I explained and can help it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    JB

    You mean record the MIDI data, MIDI is not sound.... recording the Triton (audio) "sound" is another thing all together.
    The only way to sync them is to have Logic as the Master MIDI clock. (Look in Settings/Synchronization) Make sure Logic is sending MIDI clock to the right MIDI port and that sending clock is enabled.
    Then in the Triton sequencer set it's clock to external... now when you press play on the Triton it should "Wait" for the MIDI clock start command sent when you hit "Record" in Logic.

  • Logic Pro X: One MIDI note won't play

    I am having a strange problem with Logic Pro X. I use a Yamaha CP33 as my main MIDI keyboard, connected by USB. In the past couple weeks, a strange problem has emerged - one of the notes from the keyboard, the B-2, to be specific, just doesn't trigger. At first I thought the key was broken, but it's okay, because:
    - all keys work fine when I use the keyboard's analog audio output
    - all keys work fine in MainStage
    - the non-functional key moves up and down if I choose to transpose the notes on the keyboard.
    So I have concluded that it's a software issue specific to Logic. I have already tried reinstalling the Yamaha USB MIDI driver, it didn't help. Could it be some obscure setting in Logic that is messing things up? What do you suggest can I do to fix this?

    Hi
    You may have set up LPX to use that MIDI note as an automation control, or as a keycommand
    a) Go to Preferences;Controller Assignments & check there
    b) Go to Preferences Key Commands and check there
    Might be quicker to reset aboth?

  • Logic pro 9 "checking midi drivers" at startup

    I recently switched from an imac running os x snow leopard to a newer one running lion. I use protools Le 8.0.4 with an avid mbox, gen 003. This combo always worked great under snow leopard. I installed it in lion and it also works like a charm, except i just bought logic pro 9 from app store, and it seems to get stuck in "checking midi drivers" at startup.
    I looked at several previous posts and found the solution was to delete the old digidesign midi drivers from the library>audio>midi drivers folders, which i did and now logic is apparently working fine. Problem is, obviously protools doesn't work now. So it's either one or the other with this solution. There are 4 plugin files in this folder: digidesignfirewiremidi.plugin, avid mbox promidi.plugin, digidesignmbox2midi.plugin, digidiomididriver.plugin.
    Am i going to have to keep deleting/restoring these files from the midi drivers folder whenever i wanna switch from logic to protools in the future?? Is it safe to keep doing this long term, or is there another solution i haven't found?
    Also, does anyone out there know if it would be helpful to upgrade to protools 8.0.5? Or would i just be asking for more trouble?
    Thanks in advance...

  • Logic Pro 9: Delay when there are too many tracks

    Hello
    I'm using the latest Logic Pro 9 with OSX 10.9.5. on a MacMini (late 2012)
    Every time I reach a certain number of tracks in a project (around 70 or 80, complex Dance Music) I suddenly have a huge delay between "what I see" and "what I hear"..
    This means: If I press play, everything looks normal, but the audio arrives half a second later than what I see.
    When I want to play a midi note, I have a delay too.
    This is very irritating.
    I tried out everything in the audio settings (buffer size etc.)
    I also tried to freeze all the tracks, it didn't work.
    The only thing working is to delete many tracks. (Of course I don't want that)
    Any ideas?
    Thank you

    Hi, Matley.
    It could be that your memory is full.
    I have one project that has 60 odd tracks. Some audio, some software instruments. If I open this after I've opened a few other LP projects it won't run properly. If you are using lots of software instruments - especially those  that are CPU intensive - your RAM will max out and everything slows down or doesn't run properly.
    I have 16G of RAM on my 2012 mac mini.
    This article may help -  https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT203930
    Another thing to try is Low Latency mode. This limits the amount of RAM plugins use. I've had to use it occasionally and it does makes a large project run smoother.
    Hope this helps.
    regards,
    Scorpii

  • Logic Pro keeps (Not Responding) when launched or opening tracks...

    Running logic Pro 7.2.1 on Power Mac G5 and using a Tascam FW-1884 control surface. During startup logic Pro hangs. Sometime if a song is opened via "Finder" it opens fine, but most times it just hangs. Also, not sure if this is related, but all logic pop-up window have this funky maroon color and its hard to read the text and button can't be seen at all.
    PLEASE help!!!!!! Production DOWN!
    -Chico

    I had many problems with my Mac G5 2.7 refurb/Logic 7.2.1 when I first got it back in March. Although my problems were different than yours some things I remember doing that helped:
    Trashing Logic's preferences fixed a situaution where my Logic windows were flashing randomly and Midi info was corrupted causing my Mackie Control Universal and my Korg Triton to freak out Logic.
    Repairing disk permissions because 2 times Logic did not totally install correctly. Yes I reinstalled Logic at least 4 times to figure out why I was having freezeups system wide.
    Working closely with Apple Care documenting my problems and finally getting my local Apple store in our local Mall to change out the motherboard, dual processors and optical drive. Yes essentially a new computer. Since that time I have not had one system wide freezeup (any wood around here)
    or major problem.
    AT one point running the "Quick Test" from Apple's startup disc showed a Bad RAM chip. Again not related to you but running the test could show something.
    I have 2 issues left to fix - Logic 7.2.1 for me has a transposition problem. Midi tracks will show up after I open a song file transposed down a step. The fix is to reboot Logic which is a pain. 2nd - Annoying beep coming from my power supply. Beep is audible in studio near the tower and is also in the audio chain coming out of speakers. No fix yet but again I'm working with Apple Care.

  • Logic Pro 9 WILL NOT recognise EZdrummer in Audio Units Manager, HELP??

    I recently purchased and installed Toontrack's EZdrummer plug-in to work inside Logic Pro.
    However, after a week of trying, I for some bizarre reason cannot get Logic to recognize the plug-in/vst.
    All week i've conquered the internet looking for solutions but sadly nothing has helped, i've tried everything from trashing cache files to rescanning audio units to manually moving files...STILL NOTHING!
    This problem has annoyed many people as I scroll effortlessly down Google looking at other peoples quetions and responses, yet nothing works for me. PLEASE SOMEBODY KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS!

    Basic Troubleshooting steps...
    First of all Logic Pro cannot use VSTs.. It uses AudioUnit (AU) Plugins..
    Have you checked the AU Manager (Found under the Logic Pro menu item...)  to see if it installed and validated correctly
    If it is not there, it did not install correctly in which case reinstall or failing that contact ToonTracks for assistance.
    If it is there but not validated, select it and manually recscan it to validate it. If it fails to validated again contact ToonTracks..
    if it is there and validated,
    When you start a new project in Logic and create a Software Instrument track.. and then you press and hold the Software Instrument button in the track strip.. do you see the ToonTracks entry? (along with all the Logic Pro's plugins and other 3rd party AU Plugins you may have installed)
    The Software Instrument button  is located as shown in this screenshot..

  • Logic pro 9  quit unexpectedly while initializing Core audio

    i've installed my logic studio 9 and it does not work, it quits unexpectedly while initializing Core audio I am using mbox 2 mini but i don't like protools, i deleted it. I've installed the digidesign standalone core audio drivers 8.0.3 which is compatible with my OS, but logic pro doesnt launch, soundtrack pro works and waveburner does too, mainstage and logic pro do not. I've configurated system preferences/sounds and mbox2 mini appears right. I've configurated applications/utilities/audio midi setup and everything is correct , system preferences/ mbox2 says "connected to mbox 2 mini" so if everything is correct why it doesnt work in logic pro and with soundtrack works perfectly? OMG it drives me nuts already... i tried also run logic pro without audio interface, just with "built in" device. it didn't work too. i launched it pressing control(without launch core audio) in audio settings appears mbox2 mini but doesnt work. I did read in a forum "you should delete logic's preference file" .... didn't work too.... like i said can't deal anymore with this issue. please HELP!!

  • Recording 1 Audio Instrument and 1 Audio Track Sumultaneously in LE

    Hi,
    I have been reading through the forums and as far as I have seen, there no way to record a Midi Signal going into an Audio Instr (for example a drum machine sending midi to the Rock Kit) and at the same time, record an audio input (guitar?).
    In LE you don't have R button to Arm an Audio Intr track, so the track will "record" as long as it's selected and you're recording. On the other hand you have to "arm" audio tracks.
    If you Arm an audio track and the click on your Audio Instr, start recording an play. Only the Audio Instr will be recorded, despite the fact that both tracks seem to be receiving signal. If you happen to click on your audio track or use SHIFT-Click to select both, the last "clicked" track will be recorded.
    Is this correct? I have been trying to record a these two types of tracks simultaneously for a few hours with no success. I have tried all kind of combinations, clicks and stuff like that, nothing will do it. If I record the audio track, the audio inst is "ignored". Is this a LE limitation?
    Could somebody please confirm this?
    I have an M-Audio Fast Track pro and it works fine.
    Thanks in advance.

    All you have to do is Shift-Click the R on each of the audio tracks you wish to record while holding down shift. So select each track you want in one shift pushing. If that makes any sense...

  • Why is logic pro only showing 8 inputs with core audio?

    I use Logic Pro and Pro Tools HD TDM and I have 2 audio interfaces with a total of 20 analog inputs.  It seems that in Logic, I can only access 8 inputs. I suspect this has something to do with core audio and logic but there has to be a way around this that allows me to use all 20 inputs right?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Too bad you're not running an earlier version of Pro Tools, prior to 8.03 or you could use your system under DAE and have access to the HD system in Logic, or at least in some versions of Logic 9.
    http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Compatibility/en363063
    You will be limited to 8 ins under core audio as I recall... this is due to Avid's core audio driver.
    Here's more about HD support.

  • Turning off Midi Channel on an audio track-possible?

    I do not want to receive any midi data (it is causing the track to mute) from my Moog Little Phatty on the corresponding audio track I am recording to in Logic. I do not want to filter this midi message out as I'd still like to be able to record that information on the corresponding midi track.
    I know if I deselect the audio track it will no longer respond to midi messages being sent from the Moog. What I'd really like however is to stop Logic from muting a selected track whenever cc# 9 is transmitted.
    Is this possible?

    And, just curious... if you're recording the MIDI info anyhow, why not just record the MIDI track, and then export it to an audio file?
    I like to capture the live performance of my external synths on an audio track. I record the midi information more as a back up/reference in case I want to tweak it later.
    And I totally understand that. I guess I suggested it, as work around in the meantime.
    Recording the MIDI, and then bouncing as audio, won't undermine the integrity of that approach, as long as you refrain from over-twaeking, BEFORE bouncing down the file!

  • Macbook Pro C2D HD 5400rpm. How many audio tracks?

    I'm looking to move from my Ti 1Ghz G4 to a newer Macbook Pro C2D, and i've a question about using the internal HD on the MBP.
    On my old TiBook, ive popped in a 100GB 7200rpm drive, and from this i've been able to acheive around 44 to 46 stereo tracks (playback only) before i get "disk too slow errors" (the drive had around 55GB used)
    Does anyone know the max number of audio tracks that can be streamed off an internal 160GB 5400rpm in a MBP C2D?
    Anyone able to run a quick test for me please?
    Powerbook Ti 1Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1GB ram, 100GB 7200rpm HD

    whoa he came down hard on you there...
    ok i have a macbook, not pro, didn't need the little extra u get more for a lot more money if you buy pro, not worth it to me... i run my sessions on the internal 5400rpm. keep everything in the lappy, samples and all, have her juiced up 2g's of ram and let me tell ya i haven't had any speed issues at all. i have all of logics performance tweaks set to blazing (128, live playback only) and it's comparable to my G5 tower. These Intel chips are no joke. If you have room in your go bag for the external HD take it with you cuz it'll even run sweeter. i'm seriously thinking of getting rid of the old tower and getting another lappy, but no i'll prob just get another macbook, for a grand it ain't bad at all, throw in the apple care, max out the ram and presto you've got all your gonna need from a computer-any application

  • "MIDI thru" box for audio tracks... what is it for?

    Hi Guys
    Sorry for this possibly quite obvious question... when I create audio tracks that have nothing to do with MIDI, why is it that the inspector column on the left still has a section for "MIDI thru"? Is this for use with control surfaces that use MIDI channels to control paramaters on an audio track, or... for something else?
    And is there a way to get rid of these all together, so that each audio channel isn't paired to a MIDI channel?
    Apologies if this is a silly question!
    Cheers,
    Mike

    If you don't know the answer then it's not a silly question.
    You're simply seeing a connection where none exists. The Region parameter box will display the parameters of any selected Region(s). When no region is selected the region parameter box displays the "MIDI Thru" parameters.
    Now, if you create some more tracks (Midi, Audio or whatever) and haven't selected any region then the Region Parameter box will still show the (same) Midi Thru parameters. It has nothing to do with selected Tracks only selected Regions.
    The Track Parameter box displays the parameters for the selected Track.
    The region parameter box displays the parameters for the selected Region.
