Logic Pro 9 Input distortion problem

Hey,
I'm having a lot of trouble with the inputs in logic pro 9 when recording an external instrument through my apogee duet 2.
Here's what happens:
I connect my apogee duet 2 to the mac, and connect my external instrument through the apogee into my mac.
I launch logic pro, create external instrument, set the midi, then click "input 1-2".
As soon as I click "input 1-2" I get this weird white noise/distortion dial up sound, but can still play the external synth even with the wierd distortion noise. But whenever I mute the track the whitenoise/ distortion stops.
I was hoping with all your knowledge invested in logic you would determine what the problem was.
thanks alot for your time.
hope you can help!

How to increase Volume in Logic Pro X without distorting?

I just recenlty converted to a MacBook Pro. I have Logic Pro X and I've noticed when I load in my Steven Slate Drummer 4, when I click on the drums they are correct volume, but playback makes them VERY quiet, along with everything else I record whether it be guitar or vocals. I NEVER had this problem with any other DAWs and I've used the same method, everyone is saying to use a Limiter, but I find this adds some distortion and makes everything sound terrible. It also barely raises the volumes, I would appreciate all help, I am currently running a home studio and I am recording several artists and really need to figure out how to make the volume normal, I've added compressors on every track to make everything a little loader but it still doesn't compare to what other DAWs put out, however spending $200 I would like to learn and continue with Logic, thanks!

That's a little odd !! Not quite sure why that wouldn't work… You have assigned your sound to the output track rather than an audio track, but that shouldn't stop it working.
On the other hand, I wouldn't have done it like that at all
I would select the midi track to convert and do a "Bounce in place".
With the default settings, Logic will create a new track with the bounce on it. You can manipulate this new bounce as you please
Have fun

DAW (Logic Pro, Reason etc) distorting iTunes, Safari etc

This is a problem that seems to be related to the control of the audio clock/sample rate within core audio. Here's the scenario:
I have a DAW (I get the same problem whether the DAW is the latest version of Logic Pro, or Reason, so I'm therefore confident it's not just a Logic Pro problem) running. There isn't a difference whether there's a project/file open within the DAW or not. Simply by having a DAW running when I try to play audio from iTunes, or Spotify, or Soundcloud or any internet based audio such as YouTube it's distorted. It kind of sounds like the audio is being run through a mild to medium strength Bit Crusher.
Only if I quit the DAW can I listen to audio from any other program without the distortion.
Has anyone else experienced this problem or found a solution to it?
My audio interface is a Prism Sound Orpheus.

What sampling rate are your DAW's operating at?
Sometimes you'll get noise and 'bit crushing' distortion if the main OS X system is set at, say, 44khz and your DAW tries to switch to something like 88 or 96.
I often switch between 48 and 44 khz on my system (with MOTU audio hardware) and it USUALLY works seamlessly, but every now and then there's bit-crush effect as the system adjusts the sampling rate. For some reason, the Mac will occasionally make the transition from one sampling rate to another veerrrrry sloooowly, as if changing speed limits with the lightest accelerator foot on the planet... Might take a minute or two, but it SHOULD eventually arrive at the new sampling rate and the distortion goes away.
SHOULD.
hope that's helpful. As Bee Jay said, check your audio driver (for the Prism) and see who's in control of sampling rate (ie. internal clock, external, etc.)
cheers

Logic Pro 7_Tascam fw 1884 problem

Hi all i ask yours help!!
i have buyed a new Tascam fw 1884 audio firewire controller, i installed all drivers for use it with Logic Pro 7, but i have a problem when i use Logic and do play after bit seconds come out a written said me: "Error while i trying to sync MIDI and AUDIO" and also i don t feel nothing sound on normal analog outputs or Phones channel(while under there are AIF and Audio instruments file. WHY ????? maybe the drivers are too old for my system that is a OSx Tiger 10.4.1?? ahhh another detail, i Tunes now don t play, see the tracks in the list but the songs don t start more.....
Please help me i have much work to do and very bit time!!! Thnxxxx

My firt advice would of course be to see if you have the latest driver installed and, if not, install it.
But it sounds like your Firewire Bus is overloaded, hence the sound dropping out and the Audio/Midi sync problem. Am I right in guessing you also have a Firewire hard drive? I had the same problem with my M-Audio firewire interface, because i also had a firewire hard drive. I had the same problem as you did with itunes as well.
The way I solved that was by switching my hard drive to a spare USB port, and use only my Audio Interface on the firewire bus. It's a bit annoying if you bought a Firewire drive for the sake of speed, but it works fine.
Hope that helped

Logic pro 9 on mavericks: problems with kontakt instrument Drumlab

Hello!
I purchased drumlab on september 2013. It worked properly on my macbook (late 2009, with expanded 8GB ram) with logic pro 9 and kontakt free player 5. Unfortunately, after a few days my macbook suddenly broke.
Now I have a new macbook pro (2.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB ram, 256GB PCIe-based flash storage) and I downloaded and installed again logic pro 9.1.8, kontakt free player (5.0.1.5371) and drumlab (from my "order history page"). Everything is working (even other kontakt instruments) but not drumlab. When I try to load the drumlab instrument in kontakt the message "THIS PATCH WAS CREATED WITH A NEWER VERSION OF THE APPLICATION etc." appears.
I don't think it's a problem of compatibility (these are the latest versions of the applications).
I tried to do what they suggest here http://www.native-instruments.com/knowledge/questions/346/KONTAKT+Error+Message% 3A+%22This+patch+was+created+with+a+newer+version+of+Kontakt%22, but it doesn't solve the problem. Really hope someone could help me with that!
Many thanks!!

You need to update your Kontakt Player to the latest version which is v5.3.0.. The one you are using (5.0.1) is at least 9 months out of date... which is why you are having such an issue....

Re-InStall Logic Pro X App Store Problems

Hello All, I am having problems will Logic Pro X when creating a New File or Using Templates it crashes. I have tried lots of things advised by many User web sites and searching the Web. It now appers I have to reinstall the App. Here lies the problem? When opening the App Store and my Purchases it tells me its installed? Greyed out. Do I have to now delete Logic Pro X to change this window? If thats the case do I have to delete ALL of Logic Pro X and content which well could mess up Logic 9 I still use and maybe Final Cut X God...There files and floders all over the OS Main drive?
There seems little in the way of backing up Logic Pro X with the installer for such occasions as I find mysellf in when using the App Store. I do have a recent clone of my hard drive but it well could have the problem in a bad file etc.. We dont have a disk image DMG anymore nor a DVD CD disk to revert to? Its crazy and whats puzzleing is I just download Mevericks with the insaller without it installing. I can back that up and insatll it when I wish and thats free? So it makes know sence when you have paid for a App?
Of cause maybe there's a simple explention and I have missed it? Thanks for any advise help or experiences, you may all have to reinsall such Pro apps one day? Cheers Don H

Ok found the solutions to reinstalling Logic X from the App Store….
1. First trash the App from your applications folder- command C + Command V paste to your desktop, then put it in the trash. You can't drag it to anywhere you get an Alias?
2. Make sure you unmount any external HD in my case had Logic X projects on?
3. Then empty the trash.
4. Go to the App Store and sign Out! Then close the app…
5. Restart the computer in Safe Mode hold the shift key down?
6. Once your desktop is up power down again restarting the computer normally - your emptying the cache files etc. or so I am told.
7. Once up and back to your normal desktop open the Apps Store - sign in and go to your purchases. You may have to sign out then sign in again?
With some Apple magic your Logic Pro X app should appear for INSTALL.
You will have to set everything up in Logic X again but hopefully you have a BK of your Key Commands? Just import?
It all appears a pain just to install Logic X again but it works. Many of you may not need to go through the various things to get the App Store to work. I did this with an Apple Logic X tech? There well maybe other ways of skipping powering up and down etc. At least you can reinstall and hopefully get rid of any previous bugs and problems? Cheers Don H

Logic pro 8 audio unit problem

My logic pro 8 install doesnt seem to go anywhere from the dialogue box that says that it is updating the audio units. I get to the menus but if I try to start the audio unit manager, it crashes. I have tried uninstalling all my audio units and other software and updating to the latest version but it did not help.
Im running the latest version of Leopard (10.5.2) on a 2 GHZ intel core 2 duo macbook.

Yep I had the exact same problem. I'm running MacOSX 10.5.2.
I deleted the file ~Library/Caches/com.apple.audiounits.cache as described in this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1086
and my Logic runs perfectly now...
Hope this helps.

Logic Pro 8 upgrade MAJOR PROBLEM

I bought a powerpcg5 and have been using Logic Pro 8. I dont have any original packaging since i moved and i lost it. My brother tried pirating Logic Pro 9 and it removed my Logic Pro 8 registration information which caused me to lose my serial. I try opening Logic 8 and it asks me to register and enter the serial number which i dont have. I am in dire need as i run a studio. I need help ASAP!
-Thanks

Logic Pro 8 upgrade MAJOR PROBLEM
There was never a problem since you tried to upgrade from a pirated copy of Logic 9
Why did you even think this could go well?
I dont have any original packaging since i moved and i lost it.
Did you check Lost and Found?
I am in dire need as i run a studio.
Yet, you let your brother load a pirated copy of Logic 9.
I need help ASAP!
You really don't need help.
Why is it that when I see POSTS like these that the person registers the same day.

Logic Pro 9 Flex Time Problem

I have a problem with Flex Time.
When I start a new project, import a wave file, use Flex Time on it, everything works fine.
But:
When I start a new project by opening a midi-file, import a wave file, use Flex Time on it, the size and speed of the Wave-File changes.
You can check the screenshot. It is the same wave-file. One with Flex Mode on and one with Flex Mode off.
There are several tempo changes in the project and I think it has something to do with that.

Presonus Faderport problem with Logic Pro 7 running Snow Leopard

I've been been using Tiger to run Logic Pro 7 without any problems for the past few years. I've held out on upgrading to Snow Leopard since everything worked so nicely, but I finally gave in and loaded 10.6.6. Logic Pro 7 seems to be okay except for my Faderport control surface functionality. I upgraded to the newest FP firmware, and Logic 7 recognizes the FP, but it doesn't work. When I open a Logic project I get a pop up dialog box that says:
Module file "Faderport" is too new and cannot be used with this version of Logic control surfaces. Please get an update of the Logic control surface application file. I also get another dialog box that says: "Loading Module Faderport..." But nothing happens.
I'd appreciate any and all ideas on how I might deal with this. Thanks!

Hi,
I'm getting this message since updating the Faderport Firmware. I'm using Logic 7 in Tiger still.
How did you fix the install pref?

Logic Pro 7 will no longer load

have been using logic pro 7 with no problems but now suddenly it won't load i just get the spinning wheel of doom and have to force quit. tried it about 10 times rebooting etc and re-installed logic twice. it has worked once since and i thought this might have been because i didn't have my sound module plugged in on boot but now it makes no difference whether that's in or not. I don't think in fact that it was anything to do with that after all. It's an Alesis iO|2.
any ideas? I have installed the latest logic software update and some one recommended i install 'pro application updates' but when i try it says its not valid on my volume.
I literally can't use it cos it loads ( you can see the arrange window) but can't do anything cos of the spinning wheel
I have...
OSX 10.5.5
Imac 2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 duo 2gig ram

I'd reinstall it if I were you. I know its hassle but when troubleshooting one must try everything no matter how much it hurts!

Logic Pro X: Audio file not found?

I have Logic Pro X, and this problem has never occurred before but...
I was mixing one of my songs and everything was perfect, then I made sure to save it.
As I reopened literally 10 seconds later (not sure why I even closed it) it was showing me a message that said "Audio file not found"
At least 12 audio files went missing out of nowhere. It's only the files recorded from Logic that are not found.
I tried to locate them through my Finder but I don't know where my audio files are stored onto my macbook, and it doesn't seem to be in an easily accessible place.
It's just weird because they were all fine just before I closed Logic, then they disappeared.
I checked the audio bin in Logic and they seem to be there but they seem corrupted.
If anyone can help, or at least show me where audio files are stored on your mac from recording through Logic, that may help.
Thank you.

To clarify:
Logic Pro X
I have also experienced this issue as a result of having recording delay set other than zero, and rectified it by returning to 0.
Otherwise,
[Command 8] or
Window > Open Project Audio, select audio files that appear flatline, click 'Audio File' menu at top left, click 'Refresh Overview(s)'.
No way I know of to auto-enable this.

Logic Pro has detected a MIDI timeout.

"Logic Pro has detected a MIDI timeout. Please restart your computer, then relaunch Logic Pro.
If the problem persists, update the drivers of all connected MIDI devices (including audio drivers with MIDI functionality) to the latest version. For instructions on removing older drivers, consult the manufacturers' documentation."

Any reason Logic Pro is crashing?

I have a 2010 Macbook pro. I installed Logic Pro a month ago; it began crashing. I began talking to technical support. After a month, I have just done a clean install of Logic Pro. That is, wiped my disk, re-installed OS, and Logic Pro. The same problems are occurring. I lay down a few loops to test it and bam! My computer reboots. Other programs were behaving normally before the clean install. There doesn't seem to be a solution at this point. Is this a common problem with this application?

No.. its not common..
We would need to take a look at the full crash log generated to have any chance of working out what might be the cause.. so please copy and paste the full log up here the next time it crashes.. and maybe someone here can spot the cause....
Just one thing before you do that...
Make sure all your drivers and plugins are updated to the latest versions first and then test again... Also check the drivers you are using, are fully 10.8.4 compatible... because the most common cause of crashes is incompatible or out of date drivers and plugins. Also make sure nothing else is running in the background to help eliminate other apps conflicting with Logic before you test. This includes Audio software routers such as Jack etc....

Logic pro 8 cd 1 installer

hi folks, i would like to reinstall logic pro but i have problems with the first cd installion, do you know how could i get a new one? thank you

Sometimes a different machine will read it, if you have a friend or even make a trip to an Apple store, from which you can save an image. Otherwise, you'll probably have to plead your case to Apple.
