Logic sound effects copyright question

Hi
I want to use some sound effects (wind and thunder) on one of my songs and I want to check on the copyright/marketing status of Logic's sound effects. I know that these are described as "royalty free", but does that mean that I can used them on
song that I'm putting on the open market(via Tunecore)without any required acknowledegent of their source or any other legal requirements?

They are royalty free - there are already a load of Apple Loops being used commercially - Rhianna's Umbrella uses Vintage Funk Kit 03 with some heavy EQ as does The Script's The Man Who Can't Be Moved (only they've played it live) various midi keyboard parts have been used with a lot of big acts - so go for it bud!

Logic Loop Copyright Question

Hi all. My question is, are all of the loops provided in Logic, Garageband, or any of the Jampacks, free from copyright restrictions? Meaning when utilized for commercial purpose, do they need to be declared as samples, or is everything provided, basically up for grabs? Thanks!

I thought this was quite clear:
"2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time. You may use the Apple and third party audio loop content (“Audio Content”), contained in or otherwise included with the Apple Software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks for your video and audio projects.
You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual samples, sound sets, or audio loops may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound libraries, sound effects or music beds."

I am using logic to record a podcast and using soundboard to use as a playback for music and sound effects. I'd like to soft patch sound board into logic, and still use my interface for recording audio from the other members of the podcast.

I am using logic to record a podcast. I have a presonus firestudio mobile for my interface so I can record several people at the same time. I'm also using Soundboard for a playback system for music and sound effects. I'd like to know how to soft patch Soundboard into Logic while still using the Firestudio interface to record the other members of the podcast. Does anyone know how to do this? and if so can you tell me how to do it? Thanks.

Thanks. Now, since Apple failed to provide an audio in jack for their new and improved iMacs (mine has one), all I can suggest is that you contact AppleCare, since you have 90-dqy free phone support. If need be, you might reconsider your purchase, but that's for you to decide.

Logic Studio install - Sound Effects option disabled

When I go to install Logic Studio, in the list of things to install the selections "Sound Effects" and "Music Beds" are greyed out and uncheckable. If I install everything I can select, it skips the discs Audio Content 1 and 2. Is there a way to get at least the Sound Effects option enabled?
(This is for Logic Studio upgrade w/ Logic Pro 9, upgrading from Logic Express 8)

So I understand correctly that you are not involved in creating music in any way? Then Logic is NOT what you are looking for. It is mainly aimed at either recording and/or composing original music, and not as a ready to select library sort of thing.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you what you should get, but maybe one of the pro guys can help you out. You'll probably find some users here who actually make the sort of content you want to use.
Logic Pro is the main program in the Logic Studio set.

Why my Logic Studio 9 (upgrade) does not install Soundtrack Pro, sound effects etc..?

I just bought Logic Studio 9 (latest I suppose) upgrade version. Now I figured out that it does not allow me to install for example Soundtrack Pro, Sound Effects etc... How can I install them?
Logic Studio 8 was not installed prior to install because OS X Lion does not allow me to install logic studio 8.
What should I do now? Complete uninstall OS X and only update to OS X Leopard?

Hi
You have either moved the Applications or re-named them. For the updaters to work the Apps must be named "Logic Pro" and "MainStage.

Trouble using sound effect samples in Logic 7.2.3

I'm using a Mac book Pro (10.4.11) and I've got these samples of sound effects (aiff format) that I want to triger with the Ultrabeat plug in. the built in samples that come with Logic (in the loop browser) work just fine. but when I try to load a these other samples, they come in correpted. they just make a white noise sound when I trigger them. Can any one please help.
Burr

Hi. As far as I know the aiff files are not in 5.1 surround format. But I don't even know how to check that. Anyway I had success loading them into the EXS plug in sampler and I thought all was good but the next day they were corrupted. I put other samples in in their place and again they were working. But when I shut down and rebooted, they were again corrupted. Any Ideas??

Can i use purchased sound effects off iTunes in an iOS app? - copyright issue

basically I'm making an iOS app, and i need a sound effect that i purchased off the iTunes store, aka from some company. Can i use this sound effect in my app without being sued a lot of money? If i payed for the file i should be okay correct?

Premiere Elements Sounds effects question

Hi! On the website 'features' page, it says the Premiere Elements comes with 250+ sound effects. Is 'reverb' one of those effects? And do I have to buy an 'enhanced' version of Premiere Elements to access those effects? Thanks for reading!

markg77482
What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system is it running?
For now I will assume Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.....
1. You need to make the distinction between "audio effects" and "sound effects" in Premiere Elements 12.
The "audio effects" are found in the Expert workspace under fx Effects. The Reverb effect is found there. But
it is a Windows Only effect. One Mac user has reported the use of the New Blue Audio Polish effect and its Ambience
option for the workaround in Premiere Elements 12 Mac.
Sound Effects are found found under the Audio Tab of the Expert workspace and contain several categories.
Audio Tab/Sound Effects is where you are going to find "250+ Sound Effects".
Excerpt from my blog post on Premiere Elements 12 First Look
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: Premiere Elements 12 First Look Details
Sound Effects has 13 subcategories and a total of 267 or 268 free sound effects. The Sound Effects subcategories and the number of sound effects in them are Ambience (49), Animals (10), Cartoon Effects (20), Crashes (10), Fire and Explostions (18), Foley (30), Impacts (20), Industry (10), Liquids (10), Science Fiction (30), Technology (29 or 30), Transportation (11), and Weather (20).
Please review and consider and supply more information so that we are giving version/computer specific information.
Thanks.

How to create laser sound effects?

Hey everyone, I have a question for you. I am working on a project and I would really like awesome laser sound effects. I have become pretty good at taking my voice and turning it into nice sound effects, but I cannot seem to take my voice and turn it into cool laser effects.
This is what I would like to create: http://www.phstudios.com/projects/Audio/Laser.mp3
If anybody has any ideas at all on what to do, please let me know. At the very least, what can I use as the source sound for this? My voice wont make a nice source for a decent laser.
Also, I do not have this now, but will Logic Express be better for this?
Thanks!

Here is my latest version: http://www.phstudios.com/projects/Audio/Laser%20Sound%20Effect_NEW.mp3
It is a little quiet, but I am using this for a game so there will be other sounds going on at the same time.
Sounds great. You could always add a bit more reverb, so it drifts off more - or leave as is. Frankly, I think it sounds fine. With all due respect to the lightsaber, the gold standard for the sound of light slashing through space, in reality, lasers don't really make any noise (do they?), so you can really do whatever you want. No one can say "that's not what lasers sound like" because light has no mass, sound, or bitter aftertaste.
This is good for now. I will get Logic Express if you think it will help at least a little bit? I just dont want to spend $200 on it and not like it any better.
If all you're trying to do is make a single sound, it's not worth getting Logic for. Also, Logic is a workstation, not an instrument, although it comes with instruments. So, in terms of creating things like laser sounds, I'd think it's less about all the control Logic gives you (although there is that), than it is about working with a really versatile virtual instrument, like the things NI puts out, or Omnisphere, or something along those lines and really versatile effects.
But that's if you really want to get into it and work on sound effects and music beyond this particular laser. Which maybe you do.
But if it's all about this laser, I'd just do what you're doing, or if you were going to purchase something, I'd look for a sound library (e.g. http://www.cycling74.com/products/cycles), find the sound you're looking for, and then tweak it.
But... I wouldn't get Logic just to gussy up that one sound.
Good luck with T.D.!

Is it permissible to upload a video on youtube with music, sounds effects, and video effects from imovie?

Lately, I've been editing and making videos for a local church in Mexico. I am not selling any of the videos. The are free to watch. However, is it permissible to upload a video with music, sound effects, and video effects from imovie? I using imovie version 10.0.2

(My post isn't showing up?) Sound effect muffles/is louder than the other audio layers

I want to point out that the last time I posted this, the discussion was completely blank. This is a repost and hopefully it won't be blank this time
In my most recent short movie, I decided that I would focus a lot more on sound than I normally do, so bought a microphone, a recorder and a boom pole etc. I also decided to implement more sound effects (Bear in mind that I'm 16, not a professional).
Here's the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGkrFVZ0e5I (I think embedding the video was causing problems with posting)
Note that at about 0:10 seconds in, you can hear an alarm ringing, but also a sort of 'thump' sound (It's actually the sound of a vault opening/closing). You couldn't hear it normally, so I turned the bass up on it to 17dB. When playing it back in the timeline, it sounds perfectly fine, but when I export the video, much like the attached one, it's muffled and you can't hear the alarm or anything else.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to try and fix it, also that scene takes a while to export so I couldn't quite do any trial and error.
Now however, I'm going to enter the video into a small competition, so I thought I'd try and fix it...because it does sound terrible/unprofessional.
Any suggestions? Remember, it sounds perfect (In my opinion) when playing it back in the timeline. I'm using Premiere Pro CS5.5 on an 11,2 (October 2010) iMac running Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8, it's also being exported to a G-Drive FireWire 800 hard drive, not a RAID, perhaps that could be a problem?

"One thing which is realistically within your reach at this time and could really help you on future projects is if you can come up with some sort of beginning, middle and end"
That's one of the problems, people kept saying "Oh, this line's too long..." and shortnening it, and like Jim said "If you can't fire people, you're at their mercy" so I can't exactly deduct pay or anything...because they're not being paid
They even started saying "Woah! We've completely changed the script! hahaha!". Just shows how little they actually cared. And the script really was changed, I would send you the script but I don't want to veer too far from the topic
"You may need to find some way to compensate them for their time though"
I was going to bring a box of Coca Cola, but I thought it would be a bit hard to carry around...and I was kind of glad I didn't because I don't feel they quite deserved it and they were already a bit hyper. Maybe it would have gone better if I did bring the Coke, but I'll definitely order some pizza next time.
"Just software."
Great software that is! I don't know where I'd be without the student discount.
Anyway let's get back to the question.
I glanced at this a bit - http://www.uaudio.com/blog/understanding-audio-phase/
And tried using the original MP3. It still didn't sound good.
I then tried exporting the sound on its own, with the bass, then imported it, but it still didn't sound as good.
I asked my friend (Who happens to also have the surname 'Curtis') and he said "just sounds to me like you have it so loud that it's clipping" and suggested that I "multitrack" it, basically layer several of them on top of each other, but that didn't work either.
He decided to add the bass in and fix the 'clipping'. It sounded good, but once imported, you could barely hear it, so I thought I'd try putting the bass up to 17dB like before...had the same problem. It seems to only sound nice/fitting with the 17dB bass...am I just going to have to turn it down and live with it?

Can Reliably Lose Sound Effects On 10.4.5

I found a way to reliably lose sound effects on Mac OS X 10.4.5. I will report this to Apple using Mac OS X feedback.
1) Enable Fast User Switching.
2) Login as user1 and note that sound effects work.
3) Without logging out as user1, login as user2 and note that sound effects work.
4) Without logging out as user2, go back to user1 and note that sound effects still work. Then logout from user1.
5) Go back to user2 and note that sound effects no longer work.
6) Reboot system to restore sound effects.

Hi, Richard.
One question: are you using USB speakers? Have you tested this using only the internal speakers on your iMac?
Good luck!

Why are Vocal Lyric found loops under Sound Effects in Apple Loops

Was About to explore what Vocal lyrics are available in Apple Loops of Logic Pro when I realised that a lot are duplicated in Sound Effects filter as well as Vocals filter.
Also, some vocals Lyrics are only in Sound Effects.
Why aren't Vocal Lyric loops filed only under Vocals? After all, they are not what I would consider to be Sound Effects.

I think iWeb and iPhoto both use the iTunes Library as their default source for music. You could try going to iTunes, change the iTunes preference to NOT copy files (there's a check box in Preferences->Advanced/General) into the Library, or else have it import the aif files as mp3s (also in Advanced, click the Importing tab), then add the music files to iTunes.

Recording Sound Effects

Hello:
I'm developing an iOS app, and a sound effect that I purchased is not able to used in the app. Since I can't find a similar sound effect that can be used, can I record the sound effect on GarageBand and use it in the app? It will be a paid app, not a free one.
Thank you in advance.

Your question is more related to app development, plus the GarageBand for the iPad (This is a GarageBand. for OSX forum).
If I understand you right, then I would look at the IAA (Inter-App Audio) feature. This is the new standard that lets you route audio (and other data) between audio apps on iOS devices. The standard was developed by Apple and is supported by a growing nuymbers of audio apps, including GarageBand for iPad.
Another similar format is Audiobus, that is also supported by many audio apps.
Hope that helps
