Logic X with Arturia Spark2 + SparkLE Problems

HI there, i hope there is anyone to help me out
I have Logic X as Daw and try to use Spark2 with the Controller SparkLe (both made by ARTURIA).
I think i tried every possible midi connection but it still don´t work
Fact is: I can record midi signals from Pads, Play and Pause, Programmchange etc
BUT: When i press play Logic only plays the single pads but is not triggering the Sequenzer, no effects and no program changes...
Perhaps someone knows how to setup the midiinviroment ... i would appreciate that much!!
And sure (!!!) I read all the manuals, made clear that i have the latest SW and started a long conversation with Arturia (but somehow they don´t know the clou )
Thank you very much, think i´m lost....

my processing threads in Logic are set to 4. Buffer size set to minimum an I still get annoying latency and unecceptable CPU crackle -
If you didn't mistype.....
You have set up things completely the opposite to what you need for your setup.... and so, to help prevent the issues...
Go to LPX's audio prefs... and try the following;
Your i7 has 8 cores not just 4.. (4 real and 4 virtual) so set according...
Having the I/O Buffer size set to minimum increases the loads on the system, not decreases.. so change that setting... If you have it set to 32, increase it to 64 or even 128 or 256 samples... and test with each change to see how you get on....
Also what do the actual latency figures show.. (Just below I/O buffer size...) after each change...
Finally, check what you have set the Process Buffer Range to.... If it's set to small.. set it to medium and test... and then to large and test.... and again see how you get on.

With all the legit problems on this forum it is amazing that Logic Pro -

gets bought.
from recording delay to audio instrument faults.
score problems and time limitation in the arrange.
graphic issues to region snap problems.
apple loop limitations to au verifications or lack of
delay compensation to beta drivers and (what is this aggregated device mess)
list can go on....
man if Logic was an iLife app that would be sweet. <--- SARCASM
sorry everyone,
FP

and what perspective is that?
tell me what perspective i should have? i'd like to know.
i didn't say i had a problem at the moment. i was just summing up the last couple weeks or so, and that is enough to make me curious about what else is out there, and how well it would fit into my workflow. really all i have ever messed with is Logic. so with that said, and all the "aparent" issues that are legit. it makes wonder if something else such as Nuendo would really kick some ***. i am waaaaaaaay out of pocket for macs and logic. i guess i will never know if others are better or not. doesn't matter.
it is crazy how i thought this was a forum for technical issues. thanks for confirming that. whew. i thought i was somewhere else.

I have just bought a 2011 iMac (2.5 ghz, 4gb) and logic express 9, and when i installed logic and tried to run it i had a message saying 'you can't use this version of the application logic express with this version of Mac OS X. How do i sort this out!?

You're probably on OS X Lion?
I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

Create a logical column with more than one data source

I'm having a problem to create a logical column with more than one data source in Siebel 7.8.
What I want to do is the union of 2 physical tables in one logical table.
For example, I have a "local_clients" table and a "abroad_clients" table. What I want is to have a logical table "clients" with the client data from the 2 tables.
What I've tried is dragging the datasources I need onto the logical column.
However this isn't working because it only retrieves the data from the first data source.

Hi!
I think it is not possible to do this just by dragging the columns to the logical table. A logical table can have more than one source, but I think each column must have just one direct source column.
I'm not sure, but maybe you should do the UNION SQL to get the data of the two tables. In the physical layer, when you create a new physical table, it's possible to set the "table type" as a "SELECT". I didn't try that, but it seems that it's possible to have the union table in the physical layer.
Bye.

Business Logic Editor with Complex Transasctions

I'm starting to have some serious problems using the Business Logic Editor with reasonably large (but by no means huge) transactions. These transactions also have nested transaction calls down a few layers. The main symptoms are:
1) When opening the Link Editor on the first action it is somewhat sluggish. Opening the Link Editor on the last action can take over 60 seconds.
2) If adding a new Transaction Call action, selecting the called transaction in the Configure window doesn't work. The transaction can be selected OK, but the browse window will not close. It has to be cancelled. The Link Editor does not show the transaction's input, even though the Configure window will now show the selected transaction's path OK.
3) If the transaction is Saved after 2), that transaction will not open again in the Logic Editor, even after a reboot.
Memory seems to be part of the formula. The above is on a notebook with 1Gb of RAM. On a dual core with 2 Gb, the problems are less, but not much. On a server with 8Gb, the symptoms disappear.
Does anyone know if there is a recommended minimum system config for using the Logic Editor?
What is actually happening when a transaction with nested Transaction Call actions is loaded in the Editor and for exection? I have many transactions that don't have the above problems, but they take a long time to open in the Logic Editor, and up to 1.5 seconds to load when executing the transaction (this is as per the F5 timings).
Thanks,
Bill

Rick,
These days I'm very careful about large embedded reference docs in my transactions. I actually go through the .trx files with notebook looking for any large chunks of that sort of XML and make sure they are eliminated.
In the case of this transaction, by the time I get to the actual SQL query action (and remember it's a few layers of nested transaction calls down), it can't run the query anyway. The Query Template name in the configure window is blank. That and any params are set dynamically in Links at run time (the Query Template name actually comes from a config file). If I try Limit Rowcount or Yes when I close the configure window, it just gives an error because it has no idea what query template to run.
Given this, the problem just doesn't seem related to fetching data. And how would this cause the Links window to take so long to open in the Logic Editor?

Using Logic Pro with Reason 3.0

I am trying to use logic Pro with reason 3.0. I want to be able to sync them together to use redrum within reason as my drum machine. I am using a MOTU 828 mk II audio interface with 8 in's and 8 out's.
When I start logic first and the reason I am not hearing any sound from reason. I can see the meters move in the mixer of reason but I hear nothing.
From the standard documentation that comes with Logic all I can figure out is that rewire is there to sync any other rewire program so that can run side by side of one sequences transport controls.
I want to be able to hear audio from both my arrangement in Logic and in Reason at the same time in the same song in sync.
Can someone please tell me firstly if this is possible and if so how can I implement this kind of setup.
Thanks in Advance.

Common problem. LP doesn't rewire 'out of the box'.
There are two ways to do this (well, more, but I'll tell you 2)
1 (Easy Way):
Restart Mac (Just to be sure things are sorted, not everytime)
Launch Logic
Launch Reason
Arrange Window
Choose a Channel> Pan Left
Go to the Middle section of the Parameters on the Left
With the Channel pop up menu, select Rewire> RWMix L
Repeat for the Right and away you go.
2 (More Advanced)
Environment Window
In the Middle section of the parameters on the Left select Create
Name it Rewire
Under that windows "New" pull down (Top Left), pull down to Audio Object
In the "Channel" pop up (Left, bottom section) select>Rewire (Left, right, 3,4... What ever you want.
Double Click the Audio Object to expand it
Pan Left or right, or whatever you need.
Rename if you wish
Do the same for the other stereo sideNow's the fun part. Assign these stereo pairs to a bus (above the fader, the default is "Out 1-2")
Go to the Mixer window
Double click the Bus you assigned, this puts it in the arrange window
Arrange window
Name the Bus "Rewire" or "ReDrum" or something great like that.
Now you can use it like a stereo pair (which I wish Logic had) for automation and effects and such.

How to install logic 9 with only the update CD's

i have the logic 9 update but not the original CD of the older version. I also have the license and serial number, how can i still install it? cheers

Hi,
I actually have the same problem, but have been unable to fix it. The Logic Pro Application version 9.0.0. is absolutely in Applications > Logic Pro (folder) > Logic Pro (with the application icon). No matter what I try I get the same error message that no elligible verision is there.
Solution? I also posted a new thread on this problem, and just found this discussion. Thanks.

Anyone using Logic 8 with 10.6 Snow Leopard ? issues ?

Using Logic 8 with 10.6, I'm aware there is an issue quitting Logic without first closing the current project.
Are there any other issues? any performance boost/ benefit?
I'm running an 06 Macbook Pro 17" 2 Gb Ram 10.5.8 currently and considering an upgrade to 10.6
Audio units I use: Revalver MKIII and Amplitube

(blushes embarrassedly)
No, my coffee was still too hot...
There are quite a few issues running L8 and L9 with Snow Leopard. My (and also from some of the pro's here) standard answer is hold off Snow Leopard until it has stabilized a bit more. Try to wait until 10.6.4 or 5 at least. Leopard only became reasonably stable with L8 at version 10.5.4, 0-3 were problematic.
Just check this forum for user reports when SL gets updated.
Since SL was released, the number of Q's on this forum seems to have more than doubled. That is strong circumstancial evidence for SL-Logic stability/reliability problems. It may be the price to pay for the price we pay.

I bought logic studio with compressor 3.5 what happens if I buy compressor 4.0, will it work with Logic? should I get a free upgrade since I bought it recently?

LOGIC 8 with UNITOR 8 MK2. . Why is my 'LTC LOCK Light Flashing on MK2?'

Hi.
I just set-up everything and installed Logic. ..
I couldn't find a set-up wizard to help me with the instruments. .
I plugged in my Control and NORD LEAD and they are all functioning?
The only thing is the Light on My MIDI Device is flashing??
LTC LOCK Flashes on the UNITOR MK2??
Any reason for this??
Sorry, It has been a while and I can't seem to find the problem if there even is one.
Cheers.
Thanks for your help.

I should also point out:
Two things that only serve as small fixes.
1) I can jack my I/O buffer size to 1024, that gets rid of the sound, but the midi response is terrible afterwards.
2) I can bounce out the midi as audio however I've just spent $4000 on my new G5 to avoid having to do this. See first post. Apart from this it makes the signal uneditable later on.
Of course, this has only just started happening these past couple weeks. If I purchase Logic 9, would this fix my problem? Also - I'm not 100% but my suspicion is the problem lies in Logic, not my Motu828. I've reinstalled the MOTU software, and reset the inteface. I suppose I should also point out that working with auc channels like this has always been a huge part of my work flow, so again I find it odd that it's just started to get like this.
Again, here is the scoop -I'll start with any multi-out pluign (UB, EXS24, etc), and then assign sounds to discrete aux channels. I'll set the input of the aux channels to correspond with the appropriate source.
Now I'll use an I/O plugin to to get an analog filter (for example), on my snare. EVERYTHING is fine until . . . . I make a new instrument track. The aux channel that the I/O on it sounds like a burst of PCM noise. Very digital, almost like it's been pitched WAY up.
Guys I'm not trying to be a pain here, that's the last thing I want, but this has been killing me for the past couple of weeks. So could someone PLEASE help me out?
Thank you!
Tyler.

Making Worksheet logic work with Dynamically expanding report

Hello,
Sorry if its basic, but I am trying to understand how can I make worksheet logic work with dynamically expanding reports? Because if the expansion parameters change, it stops producing correct values for me. Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi Zack,
Now I understood your problem.
Actually, when the expansion changes, it deletes the columns, and then shifts the subsequent columns with the appropriate expansion. So, if you have the formula somewhere in between, you will lose it. If you put it in the beginning, then it will be copied to all the cells. You need to put it at the end. But, you are saying this is viable for your scenario.
My suggestion would be you can try to break the single expansion into multiple expansions using the pipe (|) character, and place the formula in one of them.
Hope this helps.

Replace 1.2GHz iBook G4 14" Logic Board with 1.42GHz?

Hi everybody!
I have an almost 2 years old iBook G4 14" 1.2GHz. Or better said - had. The logic board died some weeks ago.
My main point here is to find out if I can replace the faulty Logic Board with something faster, i.e. 1.33 or 1.42 GHz. I have heard some rummours that the cooling systems are a bit different and I am affraid that a faster Logic Board won't fit.
Any suggestions? I would appreciate all comments on the topic.
I also wonder if anybody else has seen the same Logic Board problem. Strangely enough, it shows the symptoms of a dead fan, even though the cooling system is passive, i.e. whe the computer is cool it may even boot the system and let me log in, while when it's already warm, it dies in the middle of the startup.
If I boot the machine in target disk mode, it may run for days. Sometimes though, it may show some video problems: after being operational for some time, the FireWire symbol may freeze. I've noticed, that if I bend the bottom of the iBook a bit the symbol may start going again. Sometimes the display may go completely black. If, in that case, I bend the bottom a bit, a strange video-check-like sequence starts, i.e. going through black, white, red, green, blue and some patterns. At the end of the sequence the FireWire image may be restored.
I have checked all detachable components, i.e. extra RAM and AirPort and I am sure that they work perfectly. It is also worth noting, that the laptop may work several days in single user mode.
Thanks in advance for all comments!
Ventzi

Well, that's exactly what I thought first, but we are talking about an iBook here. That meens, that the 'video card' is actually only a chip soldered on the logic board and the fan turns on only when the computer has reached around 65-70°C.
And I cannot say that it boots OS X...
If the laptop is cold, i.e. has been off for a while, it may boot as far as the login screen. If I then log in, it will halt while still loading the menus.
If the laptop is already warm, e.g. booting it for a second time, it won't even get to the login screen. Usually it halts right after changing the grey screen to a blue one.
And this is NOT a software problem – I experience the same behaviour when booting from the installation DVD.
Interestingly engough, though, the laptop can run for days without any problems if started in single user mode (the text interface) or in target disk mode...
I've taken it all apart and I am certain, that the preriferal devices work.
About the AHT. If the computer is cold, the Extended AHT will pass without any problems. I the computer is warm, on the other hand, AHT will either not load at all, or will halt at some point without any error message...
Thanks for the help!
I hope that we can resolve this issue.

MUTED BRASS- Does Logic come with them?

I'm looking to orchestrate commercial style stuff, so I need mutes of all kinds for brass, and of course I need good saxes...Does Logic come with those?
If not, can you recommend a library? Fablesounds Broadway Big Band is over $2000, and the Garritan Big Band sounds wonky...any advice?
Also, is it ok to put the sound libraries (new ones, not the apple ones) on an external drive?

<PCIe card? Do I need that? I have a quad (2 core) mac pro with lots of ram.... you're scaring me!>
It all depends on your set up. The problem I have been having is that I am using an Alesis iO 26 FW400 interface and two large LaCie Big Disk extremes on the FW800. I also capture video from HD cameras. The power to all the FW jacks are shared and the Alesis and most FW interfaces use a lot of bandwidth. Enough so that errors occur like the Alesis doen't get enough juice so it doen't respond and you have to reboot it by un- and re-plugging it. Sometimes you do this and the drives disappear and you need Disk Utility to remount them. Sometime distortion. I have managed to make it work but it certainly is not a good situation.
I had a client come in with his HD camera to capture some footage and when I plugged in the camera the entire FW bus went down. Not good.
A PCI(e) cards does not share its power with the FW bus so you end up with a lot more stable system. Card comes tomorrow and cost $115. Worth every penny not having to worry about my drives.
I wouldn't consider 2 gigs of RAM lots. I am considering adding to my 4.5. Mostly since I tend to run LP8, FCP, Photoshop, Motion, Aperture at the same time with clients or subs in the room.
ALL THAT SAID...if you have two drives, on the boot drive for the app and the other for content, you are fine to start and will know what you need as your needs expand--and they probably will.
Here's a string that talks about the FW problems (and one of LP8s biggest bugs).

Good luck and go for it. You will love Logic.

Logic 8 with I/O on aux, blips/bleeps/chirps - Help? Please?

Hi Guys,
I realize now and after performing some more diagnostics last night how to further narrow down my issue.
First of all, here is my Setup:G5 Quad 2.6ghz (I think), 6G RAM, 3 HD's (one is empty), a 4th external for time machine.
MOTU 828 MK2 firewire (all 8 analog I/O loaded with something - compressor, filter, EQ, 2 pedals). The firewire had to convert from 400 to 800 at the G5 because they no longer ship with FW400. Midi controller is an Evolution Mk449C (again, I think, I'm away from comp.)
Here's my issue:
1) I'll start off with a multi-out Utrabeat or what-have-you.
2) Then I'll put the Kick, snare and HH, to their own Aux channels, and assign the UB outs accordingly.
3) Then I'll use the I/O plugin on say the snare, and set the input/output appropriately.
* Everything works fine - The snare, for example, makes no weird chirping/blipping sounds.
4) HOWEVER when I add any other track after this, the channel with the I/O goes blippy/chirppy . . . added to this, the timing on the snare goes WAY out of wack. This also occurs when I run the outputs of several channels to an Aux, and set an I/O on that Aux channel. From what I can tell it only happens with Aux channels, and happens with any of the outboard gear I use..
What I have tried so far:
- Resetting the MOTU with the FW cable unplug. ( There's a way you can do this.)
- Moving the logic preferences files to my desktop.
- Increasing my buffer size to 1024 - this works to get rid of the the bleepy sound, however the time delay on the snare is still totally screwed.
- I have also tried using a logic preset template, and it still does this. ARghhh!!!!
* My computer at home is without internet, so I will also try to DL the MOTU updater at work and burn to a disc on the weekend.
- Anothe odd point is that this has only been happening as of a week or so ago . . .
Could someone PLEASE help me shed some light on this?
I am not sure if it's Logic, my MOTU or my comp? I do think it's weird that such a string computer could have this sort of trouble???
Thank you in advance,
Tyler.

Logic 8 with Garritan Jazz & Big Band

Hello
Anyone using the Garritan Jazz & Big Band Kontakt Plugins inside of Logic 8? If so have you run into any problems...especially memory problems. And how much ram are you running Logic 8 with in this situation? Your minimum ram requirements?
Thanks for answering...John
PS And how does your JAAB score work out in the Logic 8 Score Editor?

I'm working just fine with both the GPO and JABB and Logic 8.01. I use the multi-instruments option which seems to help save RAM usage. This is in contrast to loading up each instrument individually with single instances of either the Kontakt 2 or the Kontakt 2 Player (which "powers" JABB and GPO). It seems like when I (and others) load up individual instances of Kontakt, RAM usage is significally increased.
There's been a number of discussions here (and on other Apple support bulletin boards) regarding this issue. The discussions are all worth the read if you have the time. However, utilizing the Multi-Instrument function seems to significantly keep down RAM usage (for me, anyway).
