Logic Pro X slow, no external sound

Brand new mac mini, 2.6GHz, OSX 10.8.4 - 16GB RAM - 250GB SSD Drive
Using Logic Pro 10.0.1
Just got this computer today and logic pro x. having a few different issues:
1. Midi works fine, i can play the soft synths but scrolling though presents is a little slow (just upgraded from my 2007 imac 2GB Ram, and it was faster scrolling through presets on this old machine!). too slow.
2. Playing a softsynth will move my channel and master meters very slowly, they will appear as if they are still pushing through a signal 10 seconds or more after there is no sound - they are very, very slow and completely unrepresentative of what is occuring on that channel.
3. Trying to record an external synth, i cannot hear any audio, even though the meter is showing that there is sound coming through (audio preferences are fine, audio interface is a roland studio capture that works with ableton live just fine; this same external synth records just fine in ableton live 9 on the same channel).
4. Using a novation 49SL MKii controller, it does not control Logics mixing board. Already set it up in the preferences as a control surface.
_ tried repaiting permissions, unistalled and reinstalled Logic, to no avail. Also ran logic without the novation/automap and its still causing the same problems - somebody help me please! Dont want to have to work totally within Ableton.
Thanks!

Contact Allen & Heath
I suspect it will be a driver/hardware issue relating to your GAR24M rather than anything to do with LPX.

Logic Pro - control sequencer tempo externally

Its a drag, that Logic Pro doesn't offer the option to sync to external Midi clock since version 8 anymore. While thousands of live players are switching to otehr applications: What has Logic Pro 8 or 9 to offer today to work around this problem without extra applications or devices?
Grateful for any easy and working answer.

That's audio, any way you slice it. If Logic is hosting sound-generating plugins, it's doing audio.
On the flip side, if you were using Logic solely as a sequencer for external MIDI gear, and you shut off CoreAudio in Logic, only then would you truly not be doing audio in Logic. Now, wouldn't it have been nice to have a "MIDI only mode" so that Logic could in fact clock to external MIDI clock soley for the purpose of using it as a sequencer for external MIDI devices? Yup. I can only guess as to why they decided not to implement that.
If the tap works, then external tempo control is also back.
No. Tap only sets Logic's tempo, but it doesn't clock Logic. After you tap in the requisite number of taps, Logic free-runs at the new tempo under its own internal clock. So no, external tempo control is not back. It's just not there at all.
Then only midi-controlled start/stop/rewind would be missing to resemble midi clock functionality.
Even if you could (and you can) get Logic to respond to external tap tempo events (give it 4 up front and let it roll), it's going to re-interpret the tempo each time it gets those four 'taps'. So there's no guarantee that the tempo will be the same each time.
The only way to get this to work is to figure out how you can send MTC from one of your other devices and synchronize Logic that way. Otherwise (I hate to say it, but it's true) you're SOL.

Program Number in Logic Pro not retaining link to sound in ext midi keybd

I have Logic Pro 8 and a MAcbook connected via a Midi cable with a Yamaha CVP 109 keyboard which has its own really cool sounds.
I can record from the keyboard using the keyboard sounds into Logic Pro, and I can playback the results as long as I am within the same session (i.e. I have not closed down Logoc Pro or OI have not switched off the keyboard.
Problem 1 - If I switch off the keyboard, the Program number visible in the INspector in Logic Pro changes from say 40 to 0 every time. I see it happening in realtime on the screen. So if I subsequently save the Logic pro project, all the instrument program numbers are set to 0.
Problem 2 If instead of switching off the keyboard, I exit Logic Pro and reload the project, the program numbers are correct but they still play as if they are program 0. I have to select another number and go back to the one originally visible to get them to work.
As you can see the problems are related. Why is Logic Pro (after exitting and reopening the project) not connecting to the correct voice on the keyboard even though the program number is correct? Why does turning off the keyboard, reset the Program number for every MIDI track to 0?
Is there a setting that stops this happening?

Problem 1 - If I switch off the keyboard, the Program number visible in the INspector in Logic Pro changes from say 40 to 0 every time.
Hmm, that's very odd. Is the keyboard transmitting program change 0 when you switch it of? (Look at the monitor object in the Click&Ports layer of the environment and see what the keyboard transmits).
If so, you could always filter out received program changes to stop that happening.
Problem 2 If instead of switching off the keyboard, I exit Logic Pro and reload the project, the program numbers are correct but they still play as if they are program 0. I have to select another number and go back to the one originally visible to get them to work.
Just because the value is set to eg program 42 doesn't mean those program changes have been transmitted to the keyboard yet. In Project Settings -> MIDI -> General, make sure "Send used instrument settings" after loading project is checked (and as it's a song setting, you'll need to update your default startup templates so it always does it.)
This setting sends the used program changes when you load a song to set the external keyboards to the correct sounds.

Logic Pro X and Eleven Rack Sound Card Problem. Intermittent? MacBook Pro Yosemite. Anyone having this issue too?

Ok,
Avid Eleven Rack Audio Interface with latest firmware into usb MacBook Pro running 10.10.3 (latest Yosemite)
Logic X and the sound card do not see the Eleven Rack all the time. *Intermittently*, but more often than not, I can't select the eleven rack as my interface either in Logic X Preferences>Audio>Devices or System Preferences>sound pref as the eleven rack does not show up in either list to be able to even select it.
Real pain when you are writing and have a flow of ideas and need to get a recording down. Anyone else having this issue? I have tried both usb ports in the macbook pro and the same results.
Of course I unplug and replug the usb cable. Still nothing. I have to quit Logic Pro X and restart to even get a chance for the eleven to even show up in either list.
Once I can select it then I also have a problem with being able to record (it records and gets input not prob) but on playback their is no output (with correct output selected) so I then have to use a Logic X template where the output is set exactly the same as what I am trying currently but for some reason it works with the template on the same exact settings. Mighty pain. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am going to try my Eleven on another computer to see what happens too but thought I would ask here.
Thanks

First make sure you are using the latest drivers...
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Eleven-Rack-Drivers
However the latest ones are not yet confirmed as working to OS X 10.10.3 so you may need to wait for an update from Avid....
Test and see....
Note: It's always a good idea not to update OS X or Logic Pro until after you have checked if there are working drivers for your external hardware first.. especially, in my personal opinion... in the case of Avid hardware drivers which are know to lag behind in development..

Hi, I'm running Logic Pro 8 with an audiophile sound card. I have my keyboard midi-ed into the sound card and obviously plugged into the computer. I can't get any input into the computer though. Nothing registers when I play. Output is fine. Any help? Tha

Hello,
My midi keyboard isn't registering on Logic Pro 8 and I can't work out why. It's all plugged up correctly. The sound card outputs fine - I can hear what I've previously recorded but can't input any more. Any help gratefully received.
Stephen.

Hi, thanks for reply. I was running Logic Express but upgraded. Now I seem to have problems. I have latest drivers for my audiophile. The operating system is 10.4.11. The keyboard just doesn't seem to register - in or out. I've spent hours on the environment, trying to decide which of the conflicting video tutorials to follow......

Logic pro 9 Instrument issues/ weird sound occurring!!

Hi guys,
I need some help here, I think I have a big issues here with my logic instruments. I just installed Logic pro 9 about a week ago, it's working fine until...
today when I load some of the Logic instruments (such as EFM 1 Synth, ES2, ES2 syth, or any other sytnh) from the library, there're some kind of strange/weird sound, kind of growling synth sound going on (weeeewww gurrrrrrrrt!), the volume level is also peaking out because of it. I still could play the instruments, but the weird growling sound doesn't stop, & the volume peak out even more!. the only logic instruments that works fine are Evb3 tonewheel organ, Utrabeat & Ev88 Electric piano.
Same things happen with most of my ESX24 instruments ( such as pop horns, guitar, orchestral, etc) weird growling sound (wew grrrrt).
Does anyone know what's happening???
Thank you

Hi Eriksimon,
Yes, indeed the noise stop when I bypass the instrument.
Yes the noise seems to have a steady defined pitch & the character of the noise is the same as the affected instruments.
No I haven't try to load different presets at that time (it freaks me out already!)
No I don't think I've made any tweaks/ adaptation to the environment (could you give me example?).
*But Just now, at this moment, I just try to open & run my Logic 9 again & load the problematic instruments, The Noise's gone, I tried every instrument that has that noise problem (try different presets now) , it works fine, the noise gone (it surprise me). BUT STILL I'm afraid that this noise will occur again.
Do you have any idea ?,
Thank you

Logic Pro X speaker emulation / vintage sound?

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to use iZotope's "Vinyl" plug-in with the new Logic Pro X. If this is not able to be used, is there another free plug that does a similar lo-fi/speaker emulation that anyone may know of? Thank you in advance!

Yep, Ed's right, you can use those (impulse Responses) via Space Designer...
(also under Analog Circuits)

Where does Logic Pro 9 store it's sounds?

I have a Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.6 and what I want to do is move Logic's library (including Jam Packs) over to my external hard drive. What I mean by the library is all the software synths, and effects, and maybe even the Apple Loops. Again, I don't mean the sounds that I would record myself. So is there a specific folder where all the sounds are located?

Hi
Unfortunately, Logic looks in several places for different types of data files. The easiest way to free up some space might be to move some of the Apple Loops to a different drive (note that you may need to reindex the Logic loop browser).
By default, Apple Loops are stored in Library:Audio:Apple Loops:Apple (30GB in here)
The Sampler Instruments (13GB) installed with the JamPacks are stored in Library:Application Support:Garageband:Instrument Library
I would not move these unless really necessary. You may have to re-link theSampler Instrument files with the Samples (Redmatica.com for Pro Manager makes this really easy).
Logic samples are installed in Library:Application Support:Logic (3GB)
Impulse Responses (by default) are now installed in Library:Audio (2GB)
Once again, the easiest way to free up some space is to move some of the AppleLoops. Anything else may well cause you more trouble than it's worth.

Logic Pro slower on 2011 MBP than 2008 MacBook? Especially with NI Kontakt

Hi I just got a new MacBook Pro, late 2011 model, and I was really stoked but I've come to find Logic Pro runs slower in general than on my old MacBook (not pro, mid-2008 model). I know the MBP is a faster computer but I can't figure out why Logic is so slow and I was wondering if you guys could help me out with some optimization or answers. The main issue lies in Kontakt, which I was able to run far more instances of on my old macbook than my new MBP. I frequently get system overload despite having more cores on the CPU and the same memory.
Below are the differences:
2011 MBP (stock)
Logic Pro 9.1.6 64-bit
NI Kontakt 5 (4-8 instances)
NI Pro-53 (2-3 instances) through 32-bit AU bridge
NI Massive through 32-bit AU bridge
2008 MB (stock, except 4GB memory upgrade)
Logic Pro 9.1.0 (32-bit)
NI Kontakt 4 (8+ instances no problem)
NI Massive (2-6) instances

I'd also add that when running large native instrument sample libraries, they advise (in the start up guide) to install large sample libraries on a dedicated hard drive. If you have a FireWire 400/800 drive, it might be worth it to install kontakts huge library on there and see if that frees up some CPU. Trying to run logic / the plugin applications, the sample libraries and your recorded audio/logic files on one drive will severely hurt your CPU performance.
I know is doesn't really answer why you'd be faster/more stable on your old Mac, but might help you get the most out of your new machine.
Cheers!

Rewire Mainstage into Logic Pro / internal soundcard

Hey there, Logic Users!
I noticed that some of the Mainstage sounds are not too shabby and I would like them to load into Logic Pro.
Since my external soundcard is pretty much fried, I wanted to know if there's a way to rewire Mainstage into Logic Pro using the internal soundcard that the iMac provides?
Thanks for all the responses,
VN

Hi
Mainstage and Logic share exactly the same plugins, channel strip settings and the like (with the notable exceptions of Playback and Loopback, which are only available in Mainstage).
There should be no need to attempt to hook up Mainstage to Logic simplly to load any sounds into Logic. Save the plugin presets or channel strips in Mainstage, and then Load them in Logic.

Logic Pro &Tascam US 2000, record enable trks 1-12?

How do I get Logic Pro to recognise an external I/O device like the Tascam US200?
How do I get the Sound Preferences to "see" it?
Once it's seen, how can I enable multiple tracks in Logic Pro, so I can record my live drums ?

Did you install the appropriate driver(s) for the unit?
http://tascam.com/product/us-2000/downloads/
You should be able to assign any of the 16 inputs (not 14) to any Audio Channel Strip/Audio Track in Logic. Same for any of the 4 outputs.
If you use stereo Channel Strips/Audio Tracks, you should be able to record 8 stereo tracks simultaneously, or 16 mono tracks, or probably any combination of those, like 4 stereo and 8 mono tracks.
Yes, Logic is also designed for multi-track recording. Dûh. That is just an ignorant and nonsensical remark, probably born from frustration.

Logic Pro X's "Drummer" is not recognizing my TD-6 cymbal on G2.

My TD-6 drumset, which works fine on all other Logic drumsets including Legacy, Garageband and even 3rd party EZ Drummer, does NOT work properly on Logic Pro X's new "Drummer" sounds on the "Left Cymbal" only. Meaning the kits works fine on all other cymbals and pads. Just the left cymbal does not work.
The "Sound" on the "Drummer" cymbal is: C#2 and the pad plays G2 and a 2nd trigger of C#2 if hit hard or to the top. Drummer, has only 1 sound...C#2.
Has anyone else had this issue with the new drummer sounds? If so, other then changing the Roland TD-6 selection of location...how can I fix this?
This also means that the songs that I have recorded in Garageband, using the TD-6 and the MIDI code its produced, when moved to LOGIC, are all going to play G2, meaning NO sound or cymbal hit. So all songs will be incorrect drum wise. I would have to change each song separately. Moving the note of G2 to C#2 on the MIDI menu.
Why are the new sounds structured different MIDI wise then all other library sounds (including 3rd party), Logic Legacy and all garageband libraries?
Help...

Re installing Logic Pro 9 from App Store

Hi
I trying to install a second instance of Logic Pro 9 on an external thunderbolt drive.
The drive has a clean install of OSX Mountain Lion and I want to use this to boot my MacBook Pro 15. I purchased Logic Pro 9 last month from the App Store and it is currently installed on the internal HD in my MacBook Pro.
The external drive is so that I can boot into a clean OS with only Logic installed as I have some critical recordings to do and need a solid platform to work from.
However, if I boot from the external drive and then run the App Store App from this drive, when I go to purchases and Logic 9, the install button just says 'installed' and I can't do anything.
I have seen a number of posts in the Logic help community that leads me to believe that I can install Logic many times on many computers so I am confused as to why this happening.
Anyone have any ideas ?
Thanks
Ian

Thanks for the reply. This was indeed the key to my problem.
Thank you for taking time to help me out on this.
Best wishes,
Ian

How to record guitar in Logic Pro 8

Hi,
Well, I´ve got a Mac Mini, Logic Pro 8, Audio Kontrol 1 audio interface, and an acoustic guitar. What I would like to do is to record my guitar songs into Logic Pro 8 and add other sound effects. My problem is, however, that I can´t figure out how to record guitar using Logic Pro 8. In the "Preferences" I choose "Core Audio" as device. I connect my guitar into the audio interface (Audio Kontrol 1) and from the audio interface to my Mac Mini using an USB.
When I start playing, Logic Pro is silent. When I record, there is no sound. What is even more strange is that GarageBand is working perfect! So I guess it has something to do with the settings in Logic Pro 8. So, I ask you guys...do you know have to solve this problem? If so, I would be very grateful!
Best regards,
Tor

Thanks guys!
I will try this as soon as I come home!
I will let you know how it works.
Tor
Well, I mentioned the aggregate audio device since I saw this article. Is this possible for me? Why should I do this?

Rewire logic pro 9.1.7 to reason 6.5 doesn't auto sync when i open reason after logic?

after i launch logic pro and add an external midi, i open reason but it is not syncing and giving me the option to rewire ? on hardware interface in reason , the green tab reads saffire which is my interface, and here it should be saying rewire to logic , or similar. why wont logic sync my rewire with reason ?

Probably one is in 32-bit mode & the other 64-bit. Locate the programs in Finder and "get info" - there should be a tickbox that says "Open in 32 bit mode" or something. Make 'em match.

Logic Pro X slow, no external sound
