Logic Pro X: Recording is changing speed?

Hi there,
So I am not new to Logic but new to Logic X. When I recorded from my MBP 15" 2.3GHZ I-7 with 16GB of 1600DDR3 I got a recording but when playing back, my voice has now lowered like it has slowed down or something. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ed.

The problem has nothing to do with Logic or the projects, it has to do with the sample rate of the audio system you're using.
You folks need to read the manual so this stuff won't be a mystery.
It's still a mystery.
My Yamaha 01v mixer is set to 44.1KHz. Its SP/DIF in/out is going to the M-Audio Audiophile USB's SP/DIF. If any digital audio goes to the mixer that is not 44.1, it will sit there and complain that the digital input is out of sync and not play a peep. All the audio clips in the project Media Browser say that they are 44.1KHz files, so why are they playing slow?
Going through Logic Audio Preferences, the M-Audio Control Panel and Preferences/Sound and I don't see an option to change the sample rate anywhere. I guess they know they are locked in.
I still have that corrupted Project and I can open both at once, click from uncorrupted to corrupted and they both play that way without ever leaving Logic. That is how I rebuilt the Project.
The key to the mystery may be that some of the bounces that I've done (i.e. the drummer track) came out 16 bit and the project audio was recorded at 24 bit in both Cubase and Logic. I cleaned out the other tracks in the uncorrupted version, but I'm sure they played nicely together at one point. The Cubase files were exported as 24bit Broadcast Wave files.
Anyway, I think it is still a mystery and I'm just glad it has stopped.
I'll try setting the system to internal audio for a while, even if it can be a pain having 2 sets of audio controls. Cubase never had an issue with it in the last 15 years.
Thanks for your input.

Any ideas on how to control the amount of sustain pedal data that Logic Pro 9 records? Every time I press the sustain pedal down, it records 4 sustains. Same thing when I release the pedal. Thanks!

This gets confusing, you have two Macs with different issues and two pedals with different issues? First let's sort out what's what. So, do the issues come from the pedals or from the Mac software? To find out, simply switch the pedals and note their behaviour. No change: it's the software, change: it's the pedals (imho the most likely scenario).
Second, what kind of pedals are they? Can you name the type of pedal too? The Yamaha what and the Mgear which?
Third, with the 4 fold data problem, are the doubled events simultaneous, or a few ticks apart, or more?
Also, you have no MIDI keyboard? Are the pedals both "standalone"?
I think you have to sort this problem at its' source, which are the pedals. You could, if push really comes to shove, perhaps create some sort of ingeneous/elaborate transformer setup in the environment to filter the extra messages, although with the 4/4 sustain events that may not even be possible. With the "stepped" events you could set up a filter to just block all events with values 20-110 or so.
But much better would be to configure the pedal(s) correctly.

I lost my logic 8 pro serial number. I can't find the booklet that comes with the serial number. How can retrieve this? I upgraded from logic pro 7. I changed hard drives and now it keeps asking for the serial number. But I can't find it. Where can I request it? Thanks!

If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

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 X - Record in time - Logic moves audio automatically out of time

I have a mac book pro
OSX Version 10.8.4
2.3 Ghz intel core i5 processor
8 GB memory 1333 MHz DDR3
Latest version of Logic Pro x
When I record an audio track using the mac book pros built in microphone, I sing or play an acoustic part in time (yes in time, I'm not dodgy time-wise!)
But when I play back the audio, Logic has shifted the audio file to be out of time by some way, from the click
- it also does this when I connect up my mbox 2
any ideas anyone?

Sounds like you are not monitoring through your soundcard or logic and the latency of your audiobox/soundcard is placing the recording too late. Try to reduce the buffer to 256 or 128 in your mbox mix display, and use software monitoring if you can.

Logic Pro X records (Audio) all the sounds of my computer when i plug in my guitar!

When i plug in my Guitar (iRig) in my MacBookPro Retina, Logic Pro records all the sounds of my Computer. Even the sounds from itunes. The problem is now, I can`t record more then one track because if i want to play another track over the first one, the sound of the first one is recorded on the second track too!:SSS Help!

Might want to read the chapter on how to set Logic's audio section for recording.
While you're there read a couple of the chapters on basic recording techniques.

Logic Pro Based recording studio

Hi all, I am intending on building a smallish recording studio around Logic Pro - I need your experience and expertise!
My imagined setup is based on a hefty Mac Pro, using Apogee Symphony Cards as Audio inputs. I considered using Motu or M-Audio..any thoughts?
My big Questions:
1. Mixing Desk/Control Surface
Firstly do I need a separate Mixing desk? or will a digital control surface do? Can all the audio go straight to the Mac through the interface? or does it need to go through a desk for monitoring etc?
2. Control Surface
I would very much like to find a decent control surface of the digidesign C24/C20 style, but I don't seem to be able to find anything with more than 8 channel strips that says its compatible with Logic Pro - these all seem targeted at the prosumer/home user category of artist - Any thoughts?
Thanks for your help all,
Ed

No software program is truly bug-free. The issue with Logic and the most current OS (10.5.2) is that these bugs are not being addressed... at all. Logic 8 has been around for 8 months or so and so far there have been no major updates to improve stability, core audio issues on the OS, etc.
Basically Logic is $500 because there is no support - you're buying only software.
Avid, Ableton, Cakewalk and the like are primarily software companies and they thrive on constantly updating their apps. Apple Inc, is not a software company. So you proceed at your own risk when it comes to Apple "solutions".
And keep in mind there is no such thing as a "solution"! Only tools, craftsmanship and love of music.
Your other question I believe about an external mixer, there are two simple descriptions: ITB & OTB.
In the box & Out of the box, respectively. Of course these two worlds overlap and arguably, one is not better than the other. I'd suggest looking for those terms on other forums. Tapeop.com, gearslutz.com, soundonsound.com, there are hundreds, I'm sure.
One last thing and it's a bit of a gripe: But Apple has also taken the liberty to arbitrarily remove certain features and/or consolidate features that were special components to Emagic's program... many of these features will be missed, ie, syncing Logic to an external MIDI clock. R.I.P. external MIDI clock...
Have fun.

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:

Logic Pro X recording problems

Logic X isn't recording my audio! My c400 fast track is connected, the track is armed but when i push the record button it just brings me to the beginning or doesn't do anything.

Hi
A couple of things to check:
1) Logic Pro X:Preferences:Audio:Devices Recording Delay Offset should be zero (or near zero)
2) Any Latency-inducing plugins on Output channel?

Logic pro 9,record ready has gone for audio tracks,can't record now.

I upgraded from Logic 8 to logic pro 9 back in october,everything was fine no probs.I have come back to record after a month away & now there is no record ready for audio tracks on any page,they're there for instruments & midi tracks.All else seems fine - just can't record! Also is there any way of getting help from apple,can't see anywhere to contact them without paying!! can anyone help with this?,tis the season of frustration....

You have to select an Input device in the Audio preferences. Since Logic 9 you can assign different devices for In- and Output. So make a selection there and everything will be fine.

Is there a plug-in for Logic Pro that records all live output to disk?

Hi, I noticed Digidesign have a plug in called Flashback which literally records up to 15 minutes of the master audio output for all those 'happy accidents' or when you miss recording a genius solo because it was just a run-through. Is there anything like this for Logic? thanks, Chris

right click on transport bar, select "Customize Transport Bar ...", select "Capture Recording" checkbox.
If you're in cycle mode and playing on an input enabled track, this button will capture the last time through the cycle and place it on the timeline as if you'd been recording with the little red light on. Works for audio and midi.

Logic pro 10 - recording a midi instrument as an audio track

In my Logic 10 song I have a midi instrument that I want to record as an audio track. I can find no way to get the signal from the output of the "harmonica" track to the input of the audio track, apart from recording it using the external speakers. It must be simple to do, but Apple help is no help. Can somebody please help?

Use "Bounce Track in Place".

Logic pro 8 recording glich.

I ran into a little bit of a problem last night in session. I've been a logic user since the emagic days (logic 5) and everything has worked fluidly for years until last night. All of a sudden whenever I record something there is latency in the recording. Not in the monitoring, but in the actual recording. The recorded region is about 180 to 190 milliseconds late. I'm using Motu hd 192 interfaces and have never had this problem before. If anyone has experienced this and found a solution any help would be appreciated.

just ran into this myself today, but mega-late -4073 ms to be exact....was using an onyx 1204 mixer to do overdubs and Whammy! I was confused for a good long while. Don't know why this is, but thankfully the compensation slider is there.

Logic Pro X loops not changing key when imported

Hi everyone,
I am a newbie and I have found a problem when importing Audio files (Loops) from the Loop section into a song I am working on in the project area. When I do this instead of the imported loop changing its key to fit in with the Key signature of the song I am writing it stays in its own key. For example the song I am writing is in C Major and the imported Loop is in A sharp. I have been told that when you import this loop by dragging and dropping into the project area that it should automatically change to the key of the project which of course is C Major but this is not happening and I do not know why?
When I then try to add other instruments in the key of C Major for example a bassline I discover that playing a bass line in C Major is completely out of the tune with the imported loop which is in A sharp. When I play notes from the A sharp scale over this imported loop it is perfectly in tune so its clear that for some reason the loop is not changing its key when its imported.
Any solutions for this would be greatfully received.

Logic pro 9, recording only six audio channels at once

Hello,
I want to record a life gig at club and need to record 10 audio channels parallel. But whenever I try to activate more then 6 channels for recording, other channels are switched off for recording. The interface Presonus Fp10 is ok. I can't find any help in the user guides. Any idea?

If you have a 10 input audio interface check you did assign a different input to each audio channel.
