Logic Pro 9.1.7 (Lion OS X 10.7.4) and MC Control 2.6

What's been your experiences and is it worth/helping your creativity as a mixing/recording engineer?

I updated to 10.7.5 last week and have been experiencing problems with MIDI ever since. In particular, my laptop will sometimes not find my interface (a MOTU Express XT). Unplugging the USB cable and plugging it in again will sometimes make it work again. But I've also found that a perfectly working system will stop working if I leave everything alone for a few hours and come back to it later.
Very worried about this but I've no idea what's going on

got your message about making sure to use the machine specific disk that came with my machine. Unfortunately, Apple no longer sells Tiger replacement disks. I've got a couple of bids out on ebay, and will update when I have news to add to this post.
Thank you for your help, Frank!
To be clear you called the 800 number and explained what the situation was, old machine and lost the original DVD's?
Just checking because if you just called and tried to buy the DVD's they might tell you they no longer sell them but you aren't really trying to buy them your trying to replace the ones that are missing.
Ebay may work but there is a certain specificity to the DVD's required which, even if they seem right, might not work.
Good luck either way. If you get a chance when you get the DVD's I'd be interested in hearing how it all works out.

How to update the BOX version of the Logic Pro 9 in Mountain Lion??

Hi!
How to update the BOX version of the Logic Pro 9 in Mountain Lion?
For example, if tomorrow will be new updates for Logic Pro for exapmle 9.1.8. (now I have 9.1.7) Will I not able to get it?? Now should I buy the second Logic pro??
Recently I have got answer from App Store support:
"Max, since you have not purchased the app in the App Store, you can't get updates directly in App Store. In this case, you will need to purchase the updated version in the App Store so you can get further updates."
It's... I bought Logic Pro 9 + MainStage + + +++ .... in the Apple Retail Store and what now?? Updates works perfect in Snow Leopard.
I can't understand...
Can you help me please? =)

Max,
Rest assurred, you will get updates via the App store. What will happen is when you install the box version, the Mac App Store will ping when there is an update to download(for free), much like any other Apple app(Garageband, iWork, etc) regardless of where you bought it from. If it's installed, it will check for updates.
If the Mac App store doesn't show an update that you know is out, simply down it directly from support.apple.com and apply it.
Hope this helps. If so, LIKE the post.

Logic Pro 9/OS X Lion - Upgrade

Recently upgraded through the Mac App Store for both Logic Pro 9 & OS X Lion.
Since upgrading, experiencing issues whilst performing a number of tasks in Logic.
Firstly, upon launch of an existing project, I get a, "would u like to save new project option'' before windows for existing project open.
This option has attached itself to all existing folders/project as if to say, u have launched a new project and then tried to open and existing folder without saving/closing.
Combined w/ this. Have just tried to record Audio into Logic and for some unknown reason cannot get signal on Channel Strip/Master/Out-put.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is this an instillation error?
Global task bar both for Logic turns Gray upon launching of application. From what I recall, this has only began since updating to OS X lion.
Is this cause for concern? Is this a CPU Issue? Operating off a Late 2008 Mac Pro, 2G Ram/ Upgraded to Logic Pro 9 from Logic Pro 8.
Any help would be great,
Cheers!

Hi there lastditchstand!
I have some information for you that I believe will help you get this content installed. The information can be found in the Logic Pro manual, which can be found right here:
manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Logic_Studio_09_Installing_Your_Software.pdf
Specifically, the information you are looking for starts on page 16:
The Logic Studio installer includes a Custom Install pane where you can specify the applications and content to install. You can also configure the Custom Install pane to install only selected content items later if you choose not to install them with the applications.
If you use the Logic Studio installer to install selected content items later, the process is the same as is described in “Installing Logic Studio,” except that you are not required to enter your serial number again.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Braden

Does logic pro 8 work mountain lion?

I've updated my Mac Xeon with Mountain Lion and now my Logic Pro 8 is giving me a midi conflict error. How can I fix this or does Logic Pro 8 even work Mountain LIon? Can anyone help me?

I know.. I have both read and taken part in that thread but again....
The majority of peopole who run Logic 9.1.8 and Lion or now Mountain Lion do not have those issues... and because they do not, they don't post in such threads.. so you get a distorted view of the true numbers of people with problems.
Those that do have issues, will naturally post up in such threads... but that doesn't mean they are the majority of users... They are just the 'loudest' and quite rightly so.
I will also say that for me personally, 10.6.8 and Logic 9.1.5/9.1.6 was and still is the most stable platform for Logic of all of the various combinations available... but apart from an annoying issue with the "airplay' dialog box that keeps popping up in 9.1.8 with ML... and the GUI lag affecting a few plugins.. I don't have any major issues with Logic and ML... so I can happily live and work with that setup...
Finally, it's also worth noting that with my own client base.. initially with Lion and then Mountain Lion the number of clients who had problems was much higher.. Probably closer to 20-25% had issues.. but most of those issues were resolved by updates to incompatible drivers/3rd party plugins and so on...
Once those kind of issues were resolved... as I said earlier, the number of my clients who still have major issues running uner Lion or ML with Logic Pro 9 has dropped to less than 5%... and to me, that respresents a minority of all users... like it or not.

HT3986 After installed win7 on my mac pro(mid 2012/mountain lion), I can not connect internet and where can i find drivers in mountain lion system

After installed win7 on my mac pro(mid 2012/mountain lion), I can not connect internet and where can i find drivers in mountain lion system.
I donot think I have a install disk when I bought my mac, there is only a disc partition for recovery system.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to install Boot Camp drivers. On Mountain Lion, you have to download them.
First, press X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant and select the option to download the drivers. You will have to burn them into a DVD or USB drive, so after downloading them, restart and install them into Windows

Running Logic Pro 9 32bit on Mac Mini with 4GB of RAM and still crashing

Why is Logc crashing and giving me "Memory Low" errors all the time? I am running 4GB of Mem with Logic Pro 32bit. I currently have a 27 track project and it is crashing all the time. Yet the sample "Killers" project is 80+ tracks and a video and Logic has no problem, I don't get it? What am I doing that is sucking up so much memory and how do I fix it?

Because your memory is low?
I am running 4GB of Mem with Logic Pro 32bit.
Try running Logic at 64 bit. I've noticed that even with 4 GB RAM it does make a difference with "memory low" projects.
I currently have a 27 track project and it is crashing all the time. Yet the sample "Killers" project is 80+ tracks and a video and Logic has no problem, I don't get it?
I get it. The number of tracks is not a very constant unit of measurement, it depends what kind of tracks they are, what plugins are loaded etcetera. You can have memory problems with 10+ sampler tracks, and room to spare with 100+ external MIDI tracks, to give a simple example.
What am I doing that is sucking up so much memory and how do I fix it?
How on earth would anybody but you know what you are doing?
So what are you doing?

Logic Pro 9 lags on Lion, even in 64-bit

I recently upgraded to Lion because of my side-activities as an aspiring iOS developer (no iOS5.1 SDK on Snow Leopard).
Since then, I noticed that Logic Pro MIDI reactiveness has hit the bottom: hitting a key on my keyboard doesn't take effect as soon as expected, making it impossible to play live.
I went to Logic and Reason and made them run in 64-bit mode, this kinda improved the situation but it still is non playable.
Has anyone some idea of how I could make Logic Pro fly like... one week ago, in 32-bit mode on Snow Leopard?
For info, my sound card is an M-Audio Fast-Track Ultra, and I use a CME UF8 USB as a master keyboard, as well as an Akai MPD-26 controller.

Will the Zoom R16 work as an interface in Logic Pro X under Mountain Lion?

I've searched and found some indications that the Zoom R16 will work and has problems with earlier versions of Mac OS; so my question is actually will the R16 work under Mountain Lion (GB, Logic Pro, etc) as a control AND a recording interface?
I'll be using it on either a late 2011 MBP core i7 16GB Ram solid state HD (live playing, live recording) or on a late 2012 iMac core i7 32GB Ram solid state HD with Thunderbolt and USB3.0 outboard drives (recording).
Any input would be appreciated... I've been unable to definitely tell if it's an "install the driver, install Logic Pro, and then rock n roll" or it's a "doesn't work correctly, makes noise, crashed my system AND killed my pet rabbit" kind of thing.
Thanks,
Les

Thanks Art of Sound. I did see that post but it didn't give me a warm feeling about the Zoom.
My bad, I should have posted back after I messed around with this. It turned out that my problem was due to some kind of intermittent connection within the Zoom itself.
I got another one, and it's working fine now as a Mackie Control. It's a little arcane getting it hooked up in Logic (mostly due to inexperience on my part), but so far it seems to be working fine...
If I can spare anyone the frustration/confusion:
Basically:
Download the latest and greatest Zoom R16 driver from their web site and install (I'm using OSX ML and it works fine with Logic Pro X).
Plug in Zoom R16 via USB 2.0 cable, (then on the Zoom itself, select USB, then AUDIO INTERFACE? (Enter), then SETTING? (Enter).
You may need to open Audio/Midi Preferences and set that to the ZOOM R16.
Open Logic and hopefully it sees the Zoom.
Under main Logic Pro X header, select Control Surfaces>Setup
Find and add "Mackie Control" (there are other ones, this one works, can't speak to the rest).
Then (and this is the part that I kept missing) make sure to select the Mackie Control (so it gets a blue box around it) and then make sure the Output Port and Input Port are set to Zoom R16_R24 using the little up/down arrow thingies at the right of each box. I didn't see these/figure out how to select at first... I'm a DA NOOB.
That's it. Open a new multitrack project, assign your inputs to channels, and off you go!
Recording:
All inputs work, level control and faders (which aren't motorized, so it can be a little confusing at first)
Transport and control buttons work, the jog/shuttle is useful.
There are 5 function buttons that by default change the Logic screen setups (can be programmed differently)
Track button seems to mute/unmute only.
The on-board condenser mikes work, if you want them (channels 7 & 8 on the Zoom). Ugh.
Electric guitar direct in seems ok, and a Shure SM57 worked fine. I'll be working with some better mikes hopefully this weekend.
I have it working happily with a late 2011 MBPro, and a late 2012 iMac.
For the money, considering it's a stand-alone 8 track digital recorder (seems to work ok for that purpose so far) as well, it's actually sort of cool. Setup your mixdown in Logic as a wave project, and pull the files off the SD card (Zoom can be configured as a USB card reader easily). Will record at high sample rates allegedly.
I won't be so lazy in future, and I'll report my on-going experience with it.

Vst to Audio Unit Adapter Logic Pro OS X Mountain Lion

Hi,
So after looking on Google, Fxpansion seemed to be the most famous software used for converting VSTs to Audio Units onto Logic Pro. After buying and downloading it, I figured their company would not provide support anymore, and their software was not compatible with OS X Mountain Lion.
So now that Fxpansion doesn't provide the service I was looking for, I am wondering what you guys are using in order to use VSTs such as Massive or Sylenth in Logic Pro?
Thank you in advance!

Its worth noting.. because a lot of people get the wrong idea about such 'wrappers' .....
...that only Mac versions of VSTs work with such 'wrappers' and not Windows versions and as almost every Mac VST is available as an AU plugin anyhow.. such 'wrappers' have become obsolete these days.
Massive and Sylenth are both available as AU plugins.. However, Sylenth is only available as a 32bit plugin and therefore will not work with LPX.
You can use VEP5 however, to run 32bit plugins in LPX but if thats all you use VEP5 for, it is a pricey solution.
Its also worth noting that if you have a PC with Windows installed, lying around.. you can run VEP5 on the PC and that will allow you to access Windows VST plugins that are insatlled on the PC.. with Logic Pro (9 and X) on your Mac

Just uploaded mountain lion and now it won't let me buy Logic Pro X in the App store. Error 100 over and over again.

I was trying to get logic pro X. It's not letting me purchase it after updating.

Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try purchasing Logic Pro X.

Try Drum Machine
....and also the Logic Studio 2 Compatibility Sounds and Instruments found under the Legacy entry.... along with the GB 11 Sounds and instruments.. and finally the Instruments found under Jam pack 1, Jam Pack Remix and Jam Pack Rhythm,
Also make sure the Essential Sounds and Instruments set has downloaded completely too...
Personally, if you have the space, I'd download all the content... as there is so much on offer for free... that you may find useful in the future.

Anyone know how to change user info in logic pro 9?

Want to know if it is possible to change the user information in logic pro 9...tried all the options in preferences and nothing...any ideas? Running on lion...

Hi there
Before you begin trying to concoct an elaborate solution, perhaps you might review Jesse Warden's Captivate Player?
Click here to view his site where you may download it
However, in grabbing that link and thinking about your situation, I'm thinking that may not work because it checks off the Captivate movie when it has been selected. You want the check to appear only after a certain score has been reached.
So I'm thinking you would do this using JavaScript and a form. The form element would be the check box. The trick here (as you are probably already aware) is to pass the variable data between pages.
Thinking out loud here: I'm wondering if you would gain anything by using a Frameset?
Wishing I had a neat solution to toss out for you. Unfortunately I don't. Perhaps someone else does! Hope they share it if they do!
Cheers... Rick

Logic Pro choppy scrolling after 10.8.4 update

I am trying to help out a composer who uses Logic Pro 9 on Mountain Lion. He has done all software updates so Logic is absolutey as up-to-date as possible.
He was on 10.8.1 and I recommended updating to 10.8.4
Ever since the 10.8.4 update, he is experiencing very choppy scrolling when scrolling up or down within Logic, but not left to right.
Booting from the old backup drive with 10.8.1 confirms the problem does not exist there, so something about the 10.8.4 update caused this.
Things we have tried to remedy the situation:
1 - Update his trackball driver
2 - Try a completely different mouse input device instead
3 - Trash Logic's preferences
4 - Completely uninstall and reinstall Logic Pro
None of these things have fixed the situation.
Can anyone help? Thank you very much.

That is interesting info indeed. I appreciate it. I hope this can be fixed with a Logic or another 10.8.x update soon.
To clarify, I don't know that's what the problem is, your friend may have updated something else at the same time. Here in audio land the general advice is... "if it's not broken don't fix it". I still use Snow Leopard which is now 2 OSX upgrades behind the current version, but my system runs perfectly well and I see no need to upgrade.

Logic Pro 9.1.8 keeps crashing

Hi everyone, my copy of Logic Pro keeps crashing. It loads for a few seconds and then crashes with an error message.
Sometimes this:
Crashed Thread: 7 com.apple.audio.IOThread.client
and other times this:
Crashed Thread: 20 com.apple.appkit-heartbeat
I've tried forums and also phoned Apple support, who pointed me towards these:
Hi Chris,
Here is the main troubleshooting page for Logic:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2375
The default location for MIDI drivers is Macintosh HD ▸ Library ▸ Audio ▸ MIDI Drivers
This is mentioned in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4612
If it was an issue with plug ins or audio units there are located /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT201199
None of the above has helped.
Also In my HD>Library>Preferences folder there are no com.logic.pro etc files to remove? Which is recommended in one of the threads.
It was running fine until the other day. The most notable change is that I installed/started using an Alesis Vortex Wireless with their Vysex Editor.
Although removing this and all AU plugins/drivers/re-wire etc and doing all the recommended steps in the above threads has not helped.
I am using a 2012 Mac Mini i7 with Mountain Lion everything is up to date. I have tried removing and re installing Logic.
Mainstage, Reason and Cubase are working.
Please help! I seem to be out of options so far and have valuable clients whose work I need to finish!
Many thanks,
Chris

Also In my HD>Library>Preferences folder there are no com.logic.pro etc files to remove? Which is recommended in one of the threads.
You are not looking in the correct library...... You need to look in the User Library not the System Library.....
Follow the instructions exactly as described....
Make sure Logic is not running and then.........
Delete the User Preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro back to its original settings. This will not impact your song files. To reset your Logic Pro user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic.pro.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from Logic Pro 7, you may also need to remove ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart your Mac and then test......
