Logic Pro 8 with M-audio Axiom?

Hi y'all,
I'm about to buy an axiom (m-audio), but I was wondering if it's compatible with Logic Pro 8?
thanks

Thanks you very much:)
can't wait to get my 'produce' on!

Logic Pro with M-Audio Keystation Help

I just got an M-Audio Keystation for use in my studio, and for some reason I can not get any sound. I am using my Logic on a G5 and i have it synched with my Mackie D8B in HUI mode. I know that the input of the Keystation is working correctly, as I can see it working in Logic, but the sound is no where in sight. Im guessing since I have the audio through the D8B it has something to do with that, because other tracks with work in Logic, but the keystation won't. Any ideas????

Select an audio instrument track and assign an instrument such as an EVP88 and try it out.

Audio input, Logic Pro with Lion

When I change my Audio input, I have to reboot my computer for the change to work. I am using Logic Pro with Lion on a macbook Pro. I am switching between a Mbox Mini3 and a Blue Yeti Mic. Is this normal?

What happens if you disable, then enable "software monitoring"?
I would imagine it has more to do with Avid's Core Audio drivers for the MBox.
Also, this is a personal preference: I never have the Mac using the pro-audio interfaces, only Logic.
In Audio-Midi Setup and in System Preferences/Sound I only have "Built-In Audio" selected, my recording interface is for use with Logic only.

You can't use this version of the application "logic pro" with this version of os x

After installing all of Logic Studio (i.e. install dvd, audio content 1-3, jam packs 1-3), my laptop concludes that everything is installed successfully, however, when going to open to Logic, error icon appears and says:
'you can't use this version of the application "logic pro" with this version of os x'

Thank you! I found that just after I entered the question. I reinstalled everything two times, updated software, but was still having issues. But, I specifically updated the 9.1.8 (which was supposedly included in my standard software update). Guess I needed to give it some extra attention and affection.
P.S. - Why do I feel like the more I upgrade versions of OS X, the worse off I am getting or am? Isn't it supposed to be opposite...isn't it supposed to make things better...come on, mac...where you at? mt. lion or mavericks. I'm downloading Snow Leopard to make some programs run. (um, yeah).

Using Logic Pro with Reason 3.0

I am trying to use logic Pro with reason 3.0. I want to be able to sync them together to use redrum within reason as my drum machine. I am using a MOTU 828 mk II audio interface with 8 in's and 8 out's.
When I start logic first and the reason I am not hearing any sound from reason. I can see the meters move in the mixer of reason but I hear nothing.
From the standard documentation that comes with Logic all I can figure out is that rewire is there to sync any other rewire program so that can run side by side of one sequences transport controls.
I want to be able to hear audio from both my arrangement in Logic and in Reason at the same time in the same song in sync.
Can someone please tell me firstly if this is possible and if so how can I implement this kind of setup.
Thanks in Advance.

Common problem. LP doesn't rewire 'out of the box'.
There are two ways to do this (well, more, but I'll tell you 2)
1 (Easy Way):
Restart Mac (Just to be sure things are sorted, not everytime)
Launch Logic
Launch Reason
Arrange Window
Choose a Channel> Pan Left
Go to the Middle section of the Parameters on the Left
With the Channel pop up menu, select Rewire> RWMix L
Repeat for the Right and away you go.
2 (More Advanced)
Environment Window
In the Middle section of the parameters on the Left select Create
Name it Rewire
Under that windows "New" pull down (Top Left), pull down to Audio Object
In the "Channel" pop up (Left, bottom section) select>Rewire (Left, right, 3,4... What ever you want.
Double Click the Audio Object to expand it
Pan Left or right, or whatever you need.
Rename if you wish
Do the same for the other stereo sideNow's the fun part. Assign these stereo pairs to a bus (above the fader, the default is "Out 1-2")
Go to the Mixer window
Double click the Bus you assigned, this puts it in the arrange window
Arrange window
Name the Bus "Rewire" or "ReDrum" or something great like that.
Now you can use it like a stereo pair (which I wish Logic had) for automation and effects and such.

You can't use this version of the application Logic Pro with this version of Mac OS X.

Sending transcoded clip to Premiere Pro with Mono audio

Hi there,
I noted that others had asked this question around August 2013 but haven't seen any progress made on this issue, which is that we prefer to edit in Premiere pro with mono audio tracks, but we are unable to make transcoded material come over from Prelude with mono audio.
We need to have total control over our audio tracks and for us in a News/ENG environment that also means fast turnaround production. So we want to choose the part of the XDCAM clip that we want in Prelude, send it to Premiere Pro and put the interview grab (for example) down on track 1 of the Timeline with only talent mike audio (which was recorded on the camera's channel 1) and not have to pan it or worry about doing much else to it. Then we cut the rest of the overlay with sound effects that were recorded on channel 2 going straight to track 2 on the timeline. When we transmit it to head office we send them two discrete channels of audio: talent/VO on Track 1 and effects on Track 2.
We only have a problem when Transcoding is involved. With the audio prefs in PrPro set to "Mono" everything else is fine, its just that when Prelude transcodes a video it makes the audio a hassle for us, because it can only come over to PrPro as a stereo audio track.
Adobe, is there ever going to be the ability to just make a Preference in Prelude to send the clips with Mono audio, as there is in Premiere Pro??
Or has anyone figured this out and I am just missing something?

In Adobe Media Encoder, set up a new preset that has the video and audio settings you want to have your source footage transcoded to:
Then name and save that preset. The next time you launch Prelude, the preset will be an option for you to select to use for transcoding your material.

Logic Pro 9 - Recorded audio just silly with crackling, clicking noise

PLEASE!!! Read my entire post before commenting. I don't mean to sound rude but I've posted this in several other forums and it's obvious they hadn't read/understood my issue based on the comments they left, ie., suggesting everything I've already tried, saying to contact tech support and even asking what comp and DAW I'm using... I've been dealing with this issue for ~8 months
SPECS
I use 2 daisy-chained Firepods connected to a Mac Pro Quad-core running 10.6.5 and Logic Pro 9.1.3.
I get the results described below whether I'm trying to record at 24 or 16 bit and at either 44.1K or 48K.
Generally I record 12 tracks simultaneously AND I always use the same inputs for each instrument; ie., Vocals = track 11, guitar = track 2, bass = track 1, etc...*
PROBLEM
Although this is a sporadic issue it happens to occur WAY more than it doesn't; ie., very rarely do I get a recording session without the anomaly.
The issue is that after I have recorded a session and listen back to the recorded material there are random crackles, pops, clicks throughout. When I audition tracks individually, some may have no crackling and some will have crackling at different points in time and of varying intensity. Every session is different as well, no two sessions are the same. One day I may have a perfect vocal track and a guitar track that is just silly with the crackling. The next day the guitar track may be fine but now the vocal track is all messed up with crackling. Another confounding point is that the crackling does not occur during periods of silence.
I will add that each Firepod appears to function properly (with no issue) all by it's lonesome - but that doesn't help me, I need 12 inputs minimum!
Things I've Tried
1. All new FW cables
2. Disconnecting the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac. Turn on the Mac. Turn on both Firepods, master first. Connect the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac. Launch Logic.
3. Disconnecting the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac. Turn on the Mac. Launch Logic. Turn on both Firepods, master first. Connect the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac.
4. Tried every conceivable configuration of Audio Midi Setup.
5. Tried several other FW and USB audio interfaces, obtaining perfect results.
6. Been working with Apple tech support (both hardware and Logic support).
7. I've checked that both Firepods have the same firmware version.
8. Installed a fresh SATA HD with clean installs of both OS10.6.5 and Logic Pro 9.1.3 with fresh custom templates and no 3rd party plugins or loops.
9. Lots of praying, swearing and fits of anger.
Final Comments
First, I think that the chassis FW connectors on the firepods are absolute garbage (read, cheap, cheap, cheap) and are inferior to anything else I have encountered during my troubleshooting process.
Last, I will go ballistic if I hear one more Presonus rep say anything to the effect of, "Huh! Never heard of anyone else experiencing the symptoms you're describing..." Yes, I have spoken adnauseum with Presonus tech support with zero results.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Pancenter! I'll try to be brief. LOL
I had 4 perfect multi-track sessions and then the gremlin woke up and and cast his spell... Frustrating... The biggest difference I enjoyed using your suggestion was that when I launched Logic, loaded my template, enabled my tracks and hit record, the session started without a hitch. Prior to your suggestion, I would have to futz around with Logic audio prefs, AMS settings, turning the Firepods off/on, quitting/restarting Logic and/or shutting down/restarting my Mac Pro just to get the session to show my enabled tracks had activity. I would not know if the session would have the noise artifacts until playback. I should add that I never had this problem with my PPC G5 nor did I for the first 10 months of use with this Mac Pro. Also, with the help of Apple tech support we had eliminated Logic, 10.6.5 and the Mac Pro (except the FW800 bus) as probable causes. Again each Firepod and Logic work flawlessly when I use one unit not daisy-chained. So, I think there is no problem with the individual units, and, as I said, both units worked fine chained with my PPC Mac Pro.
So, I called Presonus. Again... And I get yet another tech who tells me something different; every time I speak with Presonus I get different suggestions. This guy asked what kind of cable I was using to connect the Firepods to the Mac Pro and I said I'm using a *firewire 9-pin to 6-pin cable*. So has asks well, is it *bilingual*? He said that would def fix my problem. I told him it is advertized as bilingual and that had not fixed the problem; he had no answer for that. Then, I broached the option of adding a firewire 400 card to my Mac Pro. He said I guess you could try that; get one with a TI chipset. That's where I'm at now, deciding which one to get and whether I will need to provide auxiliary power to the card's on-board molex plug.
Any ideas?
Oh, thanks for responding

Logic Pro when recording audio and midi takes, the regions sometimes become confused. The midi tracks line up with audio tracks.

When recording midi and audio tracks simutaneously the midi tracks don't always line up with the software instrument channel. They may show up on the audio track. Sometimes they appear white instead of the normal green. Any suggestions?

Hey there jlholm,
It sounds like you are seeing some unexpected behavior when you are working on your project. I would use troubleshooting steps 6-10 from the following article named:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Recording with M-Audio Axiom 49

I have a m-audio Axiom 49 and in some of the middle ranges it can not play octaves at the same time mainly the c notes at the same time when using Logic Pro 7.2 soft synths. What is causing this?

Remember your audio Hard Drive isn't so much about size as speed. You really need to be running a 7200rpm drive for audio. Also it would be beneficial to have this as a seperate drive to your system disc: audio ideally should be on it's own drive. You can do this with an external drive via Firewire (though you'd have to daisychain this with your interface if it's also FW).
Are you wanting to record drums/bass/guitar etc all at the same time? Or is this multitracked? It will depend partly on whether your interface is USB or FW too (and the drive combo as mentioned above) but I wouldn't assume you can record more than 8 tracks like this (it's very variable though - could be more could be less).
So if you can, max out the computer RAM to 4GB ideally, get a 500GB (7,200rpm) Firewire Audio Drive, and either daisychain a FW interface (not ideal but possible) or use USB if thats what you have (but your track count will be lower). MIDI isn't a problem as it's so minimal on resources... either use a USB keyboard or MIDI it up via your interface.
Hope this helps.
PS:
kbitten wrote:
...with a Fast Track Ultra and another interface to fit the drums all...
You can't use 2 interfaces at once if thats what you're implying. That said this was changed in Logic 9 I think to accomodate for the GiO, but I'm not sure it applies to other inerfaces. Anyone confirm?

Is Logic Pro the Best Audio Recording Software for Mac?

Couple questions. I do a lot of audio production and work currently. I use a gateway with Cubase, and its not bad, but I feel like I need something mroe high end.
I'm looking at the 17 inch Imac. Does anyone record using this computer? How's it sound? Is there any way to put in a new soundcard or something if i don't like the current one?
Secondly, is logic pro the most advanced and best audio recording software for the mac? Are there others as well?
I know about Pro Tools, but it seems like there isn't anything high end enough that is TOO high end.
Does the Pro version have superior mixing capabilties. I am primarily going to be micing a guitar amp and having a mixer run into a firewire port, and also using a preamp for my guitar direct into the computers USB.
Lastly, how are the mixing features on Logic Pro vs. Logic Express? I do a lot of post production mixing as well, and use VST plugins. Speaking of that, will it accomodate using a drum program like BFD through VST or Midi like Cubase will?
Thanks for your time guys.

Yes, you do indeed need sth more high end.

like the current one?
It's not an iMac, but a faithful PowerBook G4 that I am using. Apples Core Audio is awesome. Your sound, however, will depend on your interface.
Secondly, is logic pro the most advanced and best
audio recording software for the mac? Are there
others as well?
That's why we are here, and that's why you ended up in this forum as well
To me personally, Logic sounds warmer and bigger than any ProTools system I've ever heard. From what yopu described as the work you need to do, there is no comparable application. Logic also offers you many more features above and beyond what you currently need to do.
I know about Pro Tools, but it seems like there isn't
anything high end enough that is TOO high end.
Everybody is using PT, and you should maybe get a Light Edition version of it. However, as stated above, Logic offers by far more possibilities.

capabilties. I am primarily going to be micing a
guitar amp and having a mixer run into a firewire

For your purpose, Logic does have superior mixing capabilities. In my humble opinion, only the popularity of PT made it become the choice of studios and engineers, but things are turning...
Lastly, how are the mixing features on Logic Pro vs.
Logic Express? I do a lot of post production mixing
as well, and use VST plugins. Speaking of that, will
it accomodate using a drum program like BFD through
VST or Midi like Cubase will?
If you do post production mixing, forget about Logic Express altogether and go for Logic Pro. LP will accomodate tons of plug-ins, and it comes with a bunch of great one's as well!
The format for the plug-ins is called A(udio) U(nit) and works flawlessly. Many VST plug-ins are also available in AU format and the development of those is moving fast forward.
In other words, yes, you will be able to use BFD in Logic by means of the AU format.
Thanks for your time guys.
You're welcome.

Would Love To See Logic Pro With Its Owe DSP Card's And Mixer Like Protools

I been using Logic seen Logic AV 3.0 when it was emagic, I must say I love what Apple has done for it! But one thing I like to see done with Logic is, it's owe hardware like protools, I know apple can do this!! Like DSP cards and a Pro mixer if you all put this together you will below Protools OUT the box....Protools App. CAN NOT run with Logic Pro....The only thing Protools got! Is hardware That's It So please Apple make a DSP system for Logic Pro One Day Soon
And to all the Protools user don't get mad it me, it's cool and all
but protools only has two windows to work with! lol

When A native system is as reliable as PT then I would say yes. But for me dedicated hardware is the way to go. I also use DP5.12 as a front end for PT. i is nice to see DP5 doing the command immediatly without the native processing checking a million things before executing.
Eventually Native may replace DSP cards, But DSP manufacturer can also create DSP card that will be immensly more powerfull. So you dont have to loose realibility and sound quality as well as the spinning wheels. Predicting the future is always a loosing proposition
As for the UAD plug ins I heard the DSP card are not that powerfull. Actually someone was saying in Electronic Musician that UAD should go native because the DSP cards are more of a nuissance since Native can handle a lot more than thoses cards.

We'll have to see how stable LP8 is before we can pass judgement on it. LP7 has been pretty crash-resistant to me, but I do have to concede that it hasn't been as crash-proof as my PTLE 002R system, which has crashed twice in 2 1/2 years.
However, you seem to contradict yourself above when you say that DSP manufacturers can make extremely powerful DSP cards, but then you say the UAD isn't very powerful. Who's to say that UA aren't going to release a new UAD2 card with 5x the DSP for about the same cost? Granted, Digidesign's DSP engineers can do the same thing - but do you really think they'll be in the same price range as TC and UAD? There will be a big difference in the entry cost: TC/UAD - $1000 or so; PT HD - $12k - for bare bones entry level; $15-20K for a 196k PT HD3 system without a controller.
If Apple is smart, they will fix the bugs in LP7 and upgrade the audio editing to match ProTools. That's all they really need to do to make a LP8 a killer app. Match LP8 up with Apogee's Symphony and you'll get latency in the same range as with PT HD - for only about $4-7K depending on how much i/o you need.
The track record for Digi hardware is that they seem to get about 3 years out of their DSP cards before upgrading to a new generation. I think the Accel cards are only half-way through that life cycle, which means no new Digi DSP for another year and a half. If not this year, then next year Digi will be looking at ways to keep their market share against LP8; that's my prediction.

Logic Pro X Import Audio Issue

I justed upgraded to Logic Pro X and whenever I import any sort of audio the 1st small bit of music always gets messed up. Please let me know how to fix this. I have had issues importing mp3's as well as converting mp4's to audio files. Its like there is a little hiccup in the conversion proccess for the 1st half second of music every time.
**THE AUDIO IS FINE PRIOR TO BEING IMPORTED INTO LOGIC PRO X***
Please help ASAP!!!@!@!! I am trying hard to stick with Logic Pro X instead of 9 but find it hard when my audio is getting botched on the import proccess
Thanks!

I have this problem too.
im running Mavericks 10.9.2 and Logic X 10.0.6.
I dont enable my time machine.
I'll try converting the file to other formats before importing to logic and see what happens

Logic pro x export audio to movie

Hi!
I'm running into problems when exporting a quicktime movie from Logic Pro X with a cue. The weird thing is, on my computer, the exported video plays back properly (outside of logic) with the music, and everything is fine and well – but when I send that file to the director, there is no music in it!! On her computer it only has the films SFX track. I saw other threads about trouble actually getting the audio to export, but I think I'm doing that fine.
Here's what I've been doing:
Bounce all music together with the film's audio track, so that ALL the audio is on one track.
Click export audio to movie, select the track.
Am I missing something? This is super weird.
I'm using Logic Pro X, on Yosemite 10.10.1
Thanks in advance!
Mike

First of all, did you listen back to the QUickTIme file after the bounce? Are you saying that you hear you score and when the director plays "the same" quicklime file" she hears only the SFX? That would be strange, unless she opened the quicktime file and messed around in the properties window.
About the Movie export. You don't have to bounce your music fist. Whatever your state is at the moment in your Project that is what you "Export to video". There is only one (often overlooked) step. After you click ok in the Save Dialog, there is one extra "Choose tracks to export" window coming up (see screenshot). It shows you the audio track(s) that are embedded in the original quicktime file. LPX 10.1 now has a new checkbook to make it clear:
Check: You include the original audio track with your mix
Unchecked: You don't include the embedded audio track and only your Logic mix will end up to be the new audio track of the new quicktime file.
Hope that helps

MOTU 828Mk3 & Logic Pro's default audio outputs

Hello people! Well, I received my MOTU 828Mk3 a couple of days ago and am very pleased with it so far, sonically much better than the Mk2 however I'm slightly frustrated with the default audio out in logic pro. The 828 is set-up fine with the default audio out set to master out, itunes etc all work fine but within logic pro the default output is analog 1-2, the master outputs are 9-10. So every-time I create a new project I have to select 9-10 as the output, I can live with that but if you drag any samples/loops into a project the output of the new track defaults to analog 1-2, bit of a pain. So my question is - Is there any way you can tell logic to use a default pair of outputs?
Cheers
Paul

You should be able to set the main outputs to be 1 and 2 in the MOTU setup app. I've done that with my 896mk3 and it works as expected. It just means that the outputs 1-8 on the unit are actually 3-10 in Logic.
