Logic Pro Mix Controller

I was looking at purchasing the Euphonix MC Control for my Mac and Logic 9. Does it work with version 9, I couldn't find anything about version 9 on the Euphonix website other than it is supposed to work with Logic Pro. Secondly, am I better off with just the MC mix? Guitar Center is running the MC Control at $1399. Sounds like a deal to me.

Hi,
I did this last year and Logic Pro can import OMF files, but as mentioned this can be hit or miss... OMF is notoriously difficult to deal with between certain platforms and versions. I found that FCP's OMF outputs always opened in Logic without problems but it was hit or miss with AVID's - strange since it's their format!!
I would do a test to see if you have any import problems if you go with this workflow.
I will say that Logic (in it's current version) is not a good program for doing audio post - it's just not in the same league as Pro Tools in terms of simplicity and workflow. I spent a whole year trying to wean myself off of Pro Tools for audio post work, but all I learned from that experience was how much I wanted to back in PT. I really like Logic for music composition - it's better IMHO than PT for this type of work, but is suck for post. You may want to consider a DV toolkit version of PT for this kind of work (DV toolkit has the timecode ruler and OMF tools you will need). It's expensive, but IMHO a much better tool for the job.
As for audio format - use .WAV as it will work with either Mac or PC based AVID systems (PC based AVIDs don't know what an AIFF is). This avoids having to do a separate audio layback and it works like a charm - I never had any sync issues. Hope this helps.

Logic pro mix of avid omf files

i am researching if i can do a logic pro (or soundtrack) mix based on avid omf files, then re-import the mix files back into avid...
would using aiff files make this any easier?
thanks

Expected performance of logic pro mixing on 13" MacBook Pro?

I am considering the 13" MBP over the 15" because of cost. I could afford the 15" but it is a considerable price jump for me and I am afraid I am just being tempted by the classic "you must buy the fastest of fastest computers" bug. I would rather spend the money saved on an Apogee Duet and external monitor.
I would like to know what kind of performance level I can expect from the 13" base model MBP with 2.4ghz, 4GB RAM and 250GB hardrive.
I would not be recording more than 2 tracks at a time with it, but I would like to be able to take studio recordings of my band and import them into Logic, and have enough processing power to work with 16-20+tracks with effects without it being a complete slug or crashing.
will this base model meet my expectations?
I am coming off of a PowerPC G4 1.3Ghz 14" ibook with 1.3GB of RAM, running Garageband with up to 10 tracks and seeing pretty slow performance but still "getting er done" so to speak.
I am also slightly concerned about buying a 13" because of the 4 year old Core Duo processors, but again. Having the fastest for the sake of fastest is a trap i would like to avoid.
Thank you so much for any insight, guidance, advice and experience you have had with this scenario.

It seems to have some weird issue with if you're using a virtual instrument MIDI track, if you have it selected while recording, it gives the disk too slow error.
That is not entirely correct. It really depends on a few other factors too (like what plugins are used/active in the project, AND of course the power needed by the particular instrument of which the track is selected). Sculpture will stress the CPU a lot more than let's say, the ES1. So it is not a given that having a Software Instrument Trackb selected during recording will result in an overload, but if you have overloads with an SI track selected, it'll probably go away when you select an audio- or aux track.
The only reason to have an SI track selected during recording is when you are capturing a complete performance (playing AND singing). when I do that I use a separate project with just one SI track and one audio track and no insert plugins. After capture, I'ld open the (main) project and import those two tracks from the "capture" project.
It is always better to underestimate the performance of your Mac when recording. Even better is to understand how to manage the CPU 'needs' of Logic Pro, like which plugins are "gasguzzlers" (Space Designer, Sculpture etc) and which are relatively light.

Delete a Midi device controller - Logic Pro X

Hello,
I got problems with Midi device controller. I've installed (manually) the driver of the Axiom 49 (2nd Gen) which is not working well. I decided so to change with the Impulse 49 by Novation. The problems I got is that I cannot delete the Axiom 49 device from the ; Logic Pro X > Controller device > settings >Delete.... nothing happens. furthermore at each start of Logic, I got a warning that the device is not connected.
I tried to reset all settings Midi drivers in the preferences of Logic Pro X but even with no success.
Thank you in advance to give me a way to get rid of this problem.

Typically you should do your research before you start throwing subs
Ummmm... maybe you should take your own advice?
I've seen this happen several times and in every case it relates to a specific driver installed and how it was installed..
It doesn't happen with other drivers.... which leads one to realize its probably not specifically a LP issue as such but more likely related to the specific driver itself....or a file/folder/User permissions issue..
Example.. I just went and deleted all my surfaces (various different HUI/Motu/Korg devices via the CSS GUI and each one deleted without issue.... and remained deleted...
Then I installed a Novation Impulse driver... tried to delete it and it didn't correctly delete.... I also re-installed a Logic Remote and Transport drivers and they all continue to delete as normal...
Again, this only happens with certain drivers and not all... so my suspicions are its more likely driver specific related (maybe permissions related too) than LP related though of course there is a possibility it is both.....
I'll post up screenshots in the following post....

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.

Help Logic Pro X deleting controller setup

how do i delete in Logic Pro X a mixer setup?
i chose by mistake a wrong controller out now i cant delete it and when i want to put the right one in it says the controller is already in the list.
Right Click > Delete... Doesnt Work
Please Help

LPX resides after instal in the Application folder and should also be available in the Dock. If this is not the case then something has gone wrong during the download, you'll have to try again or contact Apple if the problem persists!
Have a nice day!

Logic Pro 9 not seeing Avid Artist Mix

Hi Guys,
I've never posted in a forum before but I'm having some major trouble with getting my Avid Artist Mix Controller and Logic Pro 9 to communicate with each other. I've tried all sorts of things, set up a static IP address for the mix and computer, trying different start up combinations, uninstalling and re-installing Eucontrol and nothing seems to be working, this controller just sits on my desk displaying nothing and doing absolutely nothing. Here's what I've found so far in regards to it's behavior:
The Artist Mix IS connected to my computer, everything in my Network Preferences is green and when I open Eucontrol it's listed under My Surfaces as MC Mix. My computer is listed under work stations. Upon device start up the Artist Mix displays the Avid logo, however when Eucontrol starts up and connects the display on the Artist Mix goes dark. Upon opening Logic I see "Starting up Eucon Support" on the splash screen but then once it's open the Artist Mix DOES NOT do anything. When searching for the Euphonix or Avid devices in Logic's "Control Surfaces" Preference window I see a list of multiple different control surfaces (i.e. Mackie, Yamaha, etc) but no Euphonix or Avid devices. Also, I can open Eucontrol settings just fine before starting up Logic, however post Logic start up results in Eucontrol freezing and requiring a Force Quit, even after I've quit Logic. If anyone has any light to shine on this subject it would be infinitely appreciated. I've spent the past three days scouring the interenet for answers with zero success, Trying to get a hold of Avid Support which seems impossible (and expensive), and trying a bunch of "hunch" or "mildly informed" remedies of my own and nothing seems to be working. So far, I just have an incredibly expensive paperweight.
Here are my specs:
Computer:
Late 2011 Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 GHZ Intel Core I5
8 GB RAM
Running OSX 10.9.2
Eucontrol:
Eucontrol Version 3.1.0
Artist Mix:
Firmware up to date 1.5.2
Logic Pro:
Logic Pro Version 9.1.8

This solution posted above, seems to work very well... if you follow them exactly as stated.
I use artist mix in Logic Pro X and works fine, BUT I did have some initial problems. Firstly use latest eucon software. Then turn app nap off on the eucon application icon, after that, I switch mc mix on first, then mac, let it do it's stuff, then run eucon ( not auto load eucon). When eucon recognises mc mix, then load Logic Pro x.

Euphonix MC Mix with Logic Pro 7 (not 8)

Has anyone picked up this:
http://www.euphonix.com/artist/products/mc_mix/
And had it connected up to Logic Pro 7? (not Logic Pro 8, I upgraded but stayed with 7)
The Euphonix can use the HUI protocol, so it should function, and I'm very close to buying this - I was just wondering how the user experience felt (especially with regard Inserts etc). Good or bad purchase? I cannot demo the unit; no importer in Hong Kong.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Sup All,
I tried one of the MC Mix units that my friend picked up although we couldn't successfully used both units at the same time due to a Ethernet jack issue that i determined later by connecting one unit at a time.
Setup and Config were a breeze. I used it intensively in Logic Pro. I like all the functions for it works almost as if it were a Mackie Controller. But, one thing that could make it a deal breaker for now is that it is very sluggish in response waiting for logic to send the proper Data to the unit or vice-versa.
Even when the MC Mix was not plug to my system everything was still slow; so it is safe to assume it's a Eucon Software issue. Once I did uninstall Logic worked flawless.
With that unit you can do literally anything a Mix Controller does. So, optimistic thoughts say they, meaning Euphonix will workout the issues within weeks.( Unofficially )
PROs
Mixer felt great.
Look Great.
Can be used while you are connected to the internet.
Usage is excellent
Easy IP Config. Dynamic or static.
Instantiating Inserts, Software Instruments is excellent
Everything as the demo shows. http://www.euphonix.com/artist/products/mc_mix/video.php
The Riser is cool
A New Software installer replaces the Cd that comes with the units
CONS
Sluggish
The OLED Displays don't show Values until you touch the knobs or faders.
WISHES
Meter Bridge or Better Meters
Counter or Measure Displays
And lastly... Don't know if it's Gigabit or Megabit Ethernet Connection.
I connected it directly to my Computer as well as through two Ethernet Hub; Same Results every time.
( Minus the Internet of course at some points )

Logic Pro 7 Mix Bus -- Mixing in Logic Pro 7.0 -- Something is wrong

Ok, Maybe its just me, or my crappy audio interface, or both. anyways, heres my issue.
Heres the scenario,
I have approx 30 tracks, a handful of exs's, eq's on most channels, everything is fine, the track is sounding great and i cant complain. I have done many mixes with a modest amount of tracks 30-60 tracks and they sound great.....
however,
I am working on this one song that is pushing close to 100 tracks. the mac is holding up nicely, however.... there are parts in the song where i have many elements playing simultaneously. The recordings sound good when solo'd. nice level, minimal eq, very light compression if needed.
when i let all the tracks play together, my mix sounds like crap.....it sounds so smashed, colorless, lifeless, kinda dead sounding. as if it had no depth.
I have never had this problem before. I have mixed lots of music in logic pro 7.
I feel as if all the calculated numbers in the mix bus are not adding up correctly.
MY AUDIO INTERFACE...
Digi Mbox2
yes i know, IMHO its a POS
I am forced to have it because there are still some PT sessions that i need access to,
I want an Apogee Ensemble
anyways
has anyone ever had a mixbus issue?
am i gonna have to take this project to an PTHD room?
or perhaps a good analog mixroom?
there have been quite a few mixes that i have done on this system that went straight to the mastering lab and then published...
this track is kickin me in my a$$
Thanks

jord, hi, yes i used to use them heaps, but the arrangements and track count were smaller as well.
unfortunately, when you have to sub grp many more sections for an orchestra as well i noticed a degradation in sound from them to the summing buss.
i checked all the ADC settings and so on.
so i reverted to trk > stereo sum.
i use groups to control sub levels.
i sort of liken this to the similar use on an analog console.
when trkg, we'd use the monitor mixer and the main chnl strps would be used for mix down.
to me, it was quite noticable that the quality changed/dropped when the main chnl strps were used. one or two were ok, but 40 became too colored.
the monitor mixer was less complex with less circuitry. cleaner.
this is where i stopped using eq a lot, mid 70s, and now i focus on well recorded sounds first.
anyway, i sure this wouldn't worry most people.

I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. How do I get it to stop?

Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop? My sound is running through the Saffire Pro 40 Interface (Focusrite) into external speakers with powered amps.
Also, When I record I am hearing little pops in the system. I have checked all of my meters and they are not clipping. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop?

Pancenter,
Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
Thoughts?
Thanks,

This is what you have, correct?

This from Alesis..
"The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

Do you have to add effects to Logic Pro X loops when mixing a song?

Hi everyone,
I have a question that has been puzzling me and I cannot seem to find an answer for! I have searched high and low on the internet and still cannot find the answer and so I would be grateful to everyones help with this issue.
My question is that you hear so much about the fact that when you are recording and mixing a track that different instruments for example the Bass Drum and the Bass guitar occupy similar frequencies and we are told that this is why you have to add effects to these instruments when mixing but what I want to know is are they talking about just organic instruments like real drums and a real bass guitar that you manually play and record to Logic Pro X`s audio tracks? Or should you treat the Loops exactly the same? And should you also add effects to the Logic Pro X loops when you are mixing those specific tracks?
For example if I add a Drum Loop or Bass Loop to a project and then start mixing the song should I add any effects for example EQ, Compression to these Loops? And what would be the best effects to add to the Bass and the Drums when mixing to help them stand out in the mix?
Many thanks.

Whoever told you that overly generalized rule, please stop listening to that person .
The way you post your question (and they are good questions) points out a big problem nowadays. There is so much cookie cutter solutions out there like if you have this, then use that, if you want to get this sound, press that button. The problem with that is that you you often have no idea why you are doing that in the first place.
Let me give you a simple example about gardening (sorry about that). If I grow tomatoes and look up on the internet how often to water them, I can find an answer "water the tomatoes once a week". I might do that and result is that the tomatoes will die. What I didn't take into account is that the advice was given from someone growing tomatoes in Russia, and I live in California where I might need to water them once a day. So, the answer you are looking for is not "how often to water the tomato", instead you have to learn how much water, depending on your climate, the tomato needs"
Your music is the tomato. So the question is not what button to press (how often to water), but what button needs to be pressed, depending on your specific recordings (your climate).
If your bass drum and and bass guitar are more further apart frequency wise, then there might be no need to EQ them, it depends
Nobody should or could tell you what to do, unless he or she sits next to you at the mix and "hears' what is going on and what needs to be done.
Don't get me wrong, I don't say that there is a lot of great advice and general guidelines out there. The problem is when you apply that blindly without knowing a little bit why that advice is give and how to apply that, or if it applies to your situation at all.
In addition: The skills and knowledge about the theory is as important as the skills and experience of listening and judging your recording/mix and decide what action to take.You have to learn what to listen to and what you hear. If you don't know how distortion sounds then you miss out on fixing that issue. If you don't know how a pumping compressor sounds, then you miss out on fixing that issue.
I think you get the idea
Hope that helps

Using a breath controller in logic pro x

HI
has anyone ever configured logic pro x to work with a BC as to how to see the CC for the virtual instrument the same as for the BC
cos when i use the BC the volume of the VI goes down quite a lot
thanks

If you want a virtual instrument to respond properly to breath control, you will need to create an edited version of it. This is assuming it is not a patch that is already designed to be played by a breath controller.
Most, though not all virtual instruments are set up for velocity response, like you would get from a keyboard or a drum pad.
Breath controllers, on the other hand, give you lousy control over velocity but excellent continuous control via breath.
Breath controllers may be set to send breath control (midi CC 2) volume (CC 7) expression (CC 11) or aftertouch. Some simple ones don't give you a choice, some will allow you to choose any or all of these. Usually using only one is the best way to go, at least until you learn more about it.
So, while there can be much more to it than this, the quick and easy way to re-program a patch for breath control would be to disable velocity response (however that is done in the VI you are using) and set a fixed velocity, and then assign whichever midi CC (continuous controller) you are using to volume or level. Sometimes adding a bit of filter control can also make the patch more expressive, depending on the sound.
Then of course Save As....and rename the patch.
There are sound designers like myself and the much better known Matt Traum (Patchman Music) who specialize in creating sounds specifically for breath controllers.
If you don't want to mess with this yourself, pick a stock Logic patch that you would like to use BC on, and I will send you an edited version as an example.
I hope this helps. Welcome to the expressive world of breath control!

Can we have the Logic 6 track mixer GUI in Logic Pro 7?

anyone have a clue about this? particularly in the track mixer, something I am (and I'm sure many people are) watching constantly, I find the latest Logic Pro 7 color scheme very dull and often hard to read. Other day I opened up one of my old Logic 6xx apps using an old song of that time, and the color of the track mixer, I found, was much brighter and legible. I'm probably chasing rainbows, but does anyone know any way that we can get this coloring back in Logic Pro 7? many thanks!

Alesis Midi Controller Keyboard setup with Logic Pro 8

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me... I'm a complete newbie!
Recently bought a Macbook with Logic Pro 8 and would like to get set up for some home recording. The keyboard I want to use as a midi controller is the Alesis QS6 which has been in the wardrobe for some time. I have a Midiman USB midi interface.
When I connect it all up, I can't get it to make any sounds from Logic, only from the keyboard itself, which I don't want. A friend suggested taking out one of the midi cables so now I have only Midi out from the keyboard running into Midi in on the Midiman. When I play the keyboard the notes register on the Transport bar and I can even record them but I cannot hear anything.
Can anyone tell me what settings I need to have on the Alesis? Should the Keyboard Mode be on Normal, CH Solo or Out 1,2,3...16? I read somewhere I need to turn General Midi off, does this sound right? Is it something to do with midi channels - I don't even know how to tell which midi channel is selected in Logic.
If anyone has experience with using the QS6 with Logic I would love to hear from you!!!
Thanks!

Run the Audio/MIDI Setup utility. Is your keyboard/MIDI interface displayed in there?
If not, OSX does not see your MIDI device. Install it's drivers if it has them. If it doesn't have any drivers, your MIDI config might have got hosed. What keyboard is it?
Unplug and replug it, directly, don't use a hub. Does it show up in the AMS utility now? Try powering it for an adapter, not from USB.
If you still get no joy, I'll give you some procedures to try...

Hey guys ! I use logic pro ... not logic proX ... and i want to record my drums with 4 mics. I got a mixer with also 4 inputs ( Behringer Xenyx QX 1202USB ) But in my Logic i can't take the third input !?!? i can only choose 1 and 2 .... Please Help :)

What you need is not a mixer, but an audio interface with at least 4 mic inputs. There is a lot of choice there, but you should indicate a budget. You can go from, say, € 300 to € thousands, if you want.
Roland UA 1010
Focusrite Scarlett 18i8
However, there are other options (like multi-out mixer plus multi in interface, or standalone mic preamps plus interface with 4 inputs, etc). I have little experience using these however so I really cannot say much about which one(s) to get. The two mentioned above both have four mic preamps, but they are by no means the only way to do it.
The cheapest solution I can think of is to get a second 1204USB, plug it in, and in OS X create an Aggregate device (=the two are being merged into 'one virtual' interface with two discrete stereo (= four discrete mono) inputs. Disadvantage: you keep the same (limited) soundquality of the 16 bits convertors. Getting any of the interfaces mentioned earlier will also mean you'll make the significant step up from 16 to 24 bits sound.
