Logic Pro Environment Templates for Various Ensembles

I'm an old salt that started composing digitally only last year - always composed for live performance prior to this. Been tweaking VSL for eight months trying to find the right combination of Logic Pro plug-ins and settings on those plug-ins for a traditional romantic symphony ensemble (a typical Dvorak or Maller symphony instrumentation - not much different than a lot of modern movie instrumentations.) I've played in and been around highest level orchestras most of my life and am very frustrated trying to find the right combination of plug-ins to create realistic sound, not get clipped all the time when all instruments are playing forte passages, etc.
Are there any Environment templates anyone has produced with a set of plug-ins in place? Maybe this sounds sacreligious to some, but if I could get my hands on 10-15 templates of Environment setups people have used successfuly (romantic symphony, classical symphony, string quartet, chamber orchestra, woodwind quintet, movie scoring instrumentation, etc.), I feel like this would save me a few years of failing my way to success digitally.
Sure there are lots of variables that would require me to tweak things endlessaly, but at least I'd be doing it from a base template that has proven to work for at least one person with at least one set of variables with one specific ensemble, as opposed to the endless stream of things I've been trying with no base reference at all.
Help?

FYI - I'll even take just one template . Anything to give me reference point for doing my own thing. One way to do this would be to strip out all the track information itself and just email me the naked file with no music in it but the with environment still in place. I would be willing to pay if that's what it takes to get there.
FYI - I'm using Vienns Symphonic Library exclusively right now, but would still be glad to get my hands on some Environments set up for other libraries. Thanks.

TS4498 Is music created in logic pro compatible with the logic pro x ? for instance if you have created something in logic pro and wont to add or tweak it a bit is that possible?

Is music created in logic pro compatible with the logic pro x ? for instance if you have created something in logic pro and want to add or tweak it, is that possible? I suppose you would need the original logic folder?

Yes it is more or less compatible, except the use of 32 bit plugins, which is prohibited from now on. So although you're able to open Logic projects as far as down to v5 I believe, it is advisable to remain for 'adding and tweaking' in your pre LPX environment.
Have a nice day!

How can i know my logic pro 9 is for 3 install's?

how can i know my logic pro 9 is for 3 install's?

Logic Pro 9 (the DVD version) can be installed on a notebook and a desktop (2). The Mac App Store products can be installed on all Macs that you own. If you need a volume license (e.g. for a school) you should contact Apple.

Why Does Logic Pro Repeatedly Asks for Serial # and XSKey When Started?

I've purchased and installed an upgrade to Logic Studio 9. I previously used Logic Pro 7 but did not have it installed on my MacBook Pro when I installed Logic Studio 9.
The installer asked for the Logic Studio 9 serial number which I entered and then prompted for the original serial or XSKey. I dug out the Logic 7 XSKey, plugged it in and it was accepted so I could continue with the installation which completed successfully.
So far so good.
But now Logic Pro 9 asks for the serial number and XSKey every time I run Logic which isn't what I expect. I re-enter the new serial number and then plug in the XSKey which is accepted and the software runs as expected, but I would prefer not to have to do this every time I start the application, in particular because I don't want to carry the XSKey around with me at all times.
Why isn't Logic 9 storing my serial number? Why does it ask for the serial # and XSKey every time I start the application?
I'm not running Logic as an admin user. Could this be preventing Logic from storing the serial information?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had this when upgrading from 7 to 8. What I did was plugin the xskey BEFORE I started the upgrade and it never asked for a key or serial again after that.

Mapping Yamaha DTXplorer in logic pro - Environment window clicks and Ports

The midi signals for Yamaha DTXplorer are off from GM. The snare (G0) and bass drum (A0) output notes do not trigger snare (D1) and bass drum (C1).
I am a novice to both MAC and Logic Pro.
I have the midi out of the drumset going USB right into my MAC.
I've gotten as far as...
1. Environment window>clicks and Ports
2. Verifying the channels that DTX triggers for snare and bass drum.
3. Changing the output notes to D1 & C1.
Nothing changes with the sound.
In fact, I can change the output notes for drums that are set up correctly and they don't change either.
None of the alterations I do in the Environment window seem to do anything to the midi signals!
Do I need to activate or save the changes? If so, how (precisely)?
Thanks in advance.

You can do that from within the app, under menu Logic Pro X;

Logic Studio environment file for JV-1010

Can anyone share with me a Logic Studio (v.9.02) environment file for JV-1010?
Can anyone share with me an environment file that I can easily adapt to use with my JV-1010?
I cannot part with my JV-1010, and I am a new to Logic (Pro Tools convert).
Thank you very much.

Just wanted to give this a bump. I was looking around the web trying to find the same for a JV-1080 and a Korg Z1, but with no luck. Anyone know of a source for finding patch lists that could be imported in Logic? Or is there a way to import/extract the info from a synth via midi?

TS5426 Logic Pro X templates missing

I've installed additional orchestral content and the Orchestral and Music for Picture templates are still unavailable. Am I missing something?
Custom templates also do not appear when I save them.
Logic Pro X 10.0.7
Mac OS X 10.9.4
Macbook Pro Late 2011

Is it supposed to be for 7 string guitar? You'll have to read this:
http://help.apple.com/logicpro/mac/10/#lgcp204e230e
and especially the chapter Determine the string assignment. It sometimes does react strangely (like not showing E6) I must admit. Start a new project in score mode and try to enter a scale from the lowest string up to the highest string. Now change midi channels, in the event editor, observing how this provokes different possibilities of identical notes on the fretboard.
Have a nice day!

Yamaha MO8 and Korg Volcas with Logic Pro X- recommendations for mixer and audio interface

I plan to use Logic Pro X to access and configure the patch list for my Yamaha MO8 workstation. The Steinberg software I downloaded previously didn't work and never allowed me to configure the sounds. From what I've heard, I was told to use a cheap mixer or a Audio/MIDI interface (like the Scarlett 2i2 or 4i4). The Yamaha MO8 will be used as a master and has MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU. I also have the Korg Volca synths to use as slaves (they only have the MIDI IN port), and plan to connect them to the MIDI THRU on the keyboard. I already have the Yamaha USB driver installed, and the Mac recognizes the device. I also have the Portmidi app and wonder if that will allow me to see the patch list (with the actual names, not numbers).
What mixer and audio/MIDI interface do you recommend to use the Yamaha MO8 and the Korg Volcas? Just to be clear, I don't want to use software synths, but would like to use the external instruments to get the audio (which I know can be selected through the Environment Panel on Logic Pro X).

Anything with 2 audio inputs and 2 MIDI outs.
-Out HP jack of Volca-1/8 to 1/4 adapter into Audio interface 1 (For any that are stereo use both 1 and 2 and use a Y splitter in addition to 1/8 to 1/4 adapters.
-Midi out from interface to Midi in of volca (Or buy a USB to MIDI interface for about $35)
-When starting up the volcas hold down the "Memory button" the LED will tell you what MIDI channel it is set to, you can change it if you wish)
-Create external MIDI track and set it to the same channel as the Volca (Only if you want to do sequencing in the DAW, if thee Volca sequencer is handling it then not necessary)
-Patch together the Volcas via the "synch out/Synch in" jacks to insure they are synched
-Record them all together or one at a time, depending on how many simultaneous tracks your interface can handle.

How can I move ALL Logic Pro Files (except for the app itself) to an external?

Hi,
So I'm looking to move all my Logic content to my external hard drive and still be able to use the program effectively and efficiently.
I have about 5 years worth of content (adding up to over 100 GB of data in audio/instrument/project files) and I think it's time to find an alternative to suffocating my internal hard drive.
I'm looking for the easiest way to move all my content to my external and delete it from my internal (without altering the location of the app itself).
I understand "managing project assets", but this method requires me to open EVERY project one by one and change the location settings. I'm basically trying to find a way to move every project and its appropriate audio files to my external so that I can open them from there without having to go through each project one by one... I tried just copying and pasting the entire "Logic" folder onto the external and then deleted it from my internal, but when I attempted to open a project from my external's copied file, none of the content was found because the original locations of the internal were still embedded in the project. Also, none of the software instruments could be found because they, too, were originally located on the internal drive. Luckily I backed up my hard drive beforehand, so a simple restore brought me back to sanity.
I understand managing the project assets, but is going one project by one project at a time really the only way? There's gotta be another way :/
Thanks for any and all help.
P.S. I'm still on the Logic Pro 9 train, but that shouldn't matter too much. (hopefully)
Specs:
Mac Book Pro 13"
OS X Version 10.9.5

Logic Pro 9 asking for original serial number

Hi
Having Logic authorization problems.
I just bought a new macbook pro. I cloned the harddrive my old macbook (running Logic 9 in OSX Lion) and then cloned to the new macbook pro.
Whn I try to open Logic Pro 9 - it asks for a serial number. When I enter the serial number from my old laptop
Logic asks for the "previous serial number or my XS key". I never had a XS key - Logic 8 was my first version.
I guess I'll to dig up my old Logic 8 installation guide (who knows where it is these days?)
Why won't the serial number form my macbook work on my new macbook pro?
Any help is much appreciated
thanks

It is Recommended to do a Complete ReInstall from Original Discs when using Pro Apps and not to Migrate them...
If your Logic 9 was an Upgrade from Logic 8 you will need the Serial Numbers for Both 8 & 9...
I would suggest you delete the current version of Logic 9 on your MBP and Reinstall from the Logic 9 Discs...
Then Run Software Update or go Here...
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1014
to download the Latest Update of Logic for Lion.
I would also recommend doing a Permissions Repair and a Restart after deleting the Migrated Logic 9 and after the Reinstall from Discs...
It may seem like a lot of work... But the Results will be well worth it...
Cheers,

I was working on numerous songs in Logic Pro 9, and for some reason 2 of the songs would not bounce. I get an error message: Error in parameter list / Not an existing volume, and no default volume / Bad positioning information / Bad drive number

I was doing some minor editing in Logic Pro 9.1.8, like adding some plug-ins to audio and midi tracks on numerous songs. Most of the songs I had no problem bouncing. For some reason 2 of the songs I tried to bounce kept showing me this error message:
"Error in parameter list / Not an existing volume, and no default volume / Bad positioning information / Bad drive number" result code=-50.
The songs open and play fine, but won't let me bounce. I've worked with Logic for a few years and this has never happened. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Johnny

Fixed! Ran disk utilities and repaired my external HD.

Would apple ever consider putting Logic Pro 9 up for sale again?

Of course Logic Pro X knocked Logic Pro 9 off the app store a few years ago. I really want to use Logic Pro 9 for music projects, but cannot buy it anywhere (I haven't purchased it before). I've seen a considerable amount of hate towards Logic Pro X and personally do not prefer it. Would apple ever consider re-releasing Logic Pro 9 if the demand for it was great enough?

Logic Pro 9 Unavailable for reinstall via app store in uk

My hard drive has broken and all my work was backup up. Time machine would not work originally so i have all of my files backup up using a seperate programme. I have had my hard drive replaced by apple, but now I cannot reinstall LOGIC PRO 9 from the app store as it says it is not available in the UK.
I've tried to chat to apple support online syaing I'd be waiting for 2 mins, but 20 mins later no help!
Anyone care to shed some light on this please?

Did you buy Logic Pro 9 in the Mac App Store? If you bought the DVD version, it won't be available in the store. If you did, you have to make sure that you are logged into the store with the same Apple ID you used to buy the application. It will then show up under the "Purchased" tab. If it still doesn't, you might have hidden it. This can be fixed in the account settings: Store -> "View My Account (...)"

Musical Logic Pro Task Bar with Apogee Ensemble

1.)Since I installed the Apogee Ensemble unit, a musical note sounds when I start up my MAC, when I press the Start or Stop button in Logic Studio, etc. What option do I need to reset to turn this off?
2.) When I use Input 1 on my Emagic AMT Midi interface unit and press any key on the external MIDI keyboard, the screen starts flashing until I select the close song option. What feature is causing this, and how can I turn it off?
Thank you

This was due to a bad fader on my Mackie MCU Pro. I installed this at the same time as the Apogee unit. Mackie sent me a new fader, and once I replaced this both problems were resolved.
