Looking for a sound... Does Logic have it?

Hey everyone. I just purchased Logic two days ago. Very happy so far and am getting acclimated to it. However, there is simple but particular sound I'm not finding and I'm wondering if it is available in Logic.
On the Yamaha XS and Yamaha S90ES, there is a patch called BalladKeys. I LOVE the sound of that patch. For those of you who may be familiar with what I'm talking about, is there an equivalent available in Logic?
Also, am I just missing the saxophones in Logic? I can only find one.
Thanks,
Tom

great patch that one. It's been on all the Motif's to date.
It's a David Foster-like layer of piano and Rhodes, with a mellow pad way in the background. Nice...
So... I have this patch on both a classic Motif and en ES, but I rebuild it differently in Logic. How? Ivory for the piano part, and then pick one of the excellent Rhodes on the ES. You could do this by layering an EVP88 although the EVP88 will give the "essence" of a Rhodes, the multi-samples of these instruments kick serious rear across the whole Motif line. Why this way? These kinds of patches benefit from being able to separately EQ'ing the different layers, otherwise all that "beauty" can get too "woofy" in a mix.
Being a HUGE David Foster fan, it also helps if the piano and Rhodes parts are not exactly the same... Playing them in separately just sounds more like his work. The pad(s) get added later, layer by layer...
I'm not sure from your post if you have an XS or the S90ES, but if you do, but especially if you've got an XS, look into using your XS over firewire with Logic. The XS will act a audio interface letting you do all the XS audio digitally back into Logic. If it's this patch you want, and if you already own it, just bring it in as pristine as possible into Logic.
if you have a Motif, be sure to also visit www.motifator.com. The forums over there are Motif-specific (there's also a group of Logic-heads over there), they'll be able to help with your Motif-specific questions.

  • Does Logic have db scales markers on the output levels or individual chanels?

    I am looking to buy Logic Pro or Pro logic.  Does Logic have VU markers on the output levels, or individual chanels. I use this as a guide to mixing as I know that bass should be at -6db, lead vox at -6db at the output meter on a traditional desk. I can see that Logic does has levels for each chanel but no scale next to it. Is this an option that can be turned on and off?
    I can see that it registers the peak level, but I need to see the average level. Looking at pictures and clips on you tube aren't enough to confirm my answer. I know that Pro Tools has this which can be switch on or off. Does Logic?
    Hope my question makes sense. thanks in advance.

    Anchor points!
    What's happened to those? They are/were brilliant and worked perfectly in 7 & 8. If you set them up in 9 it remembers it when you are in the sample editor, but if you then copy that audio file (such as a cresc. cymbal) with said anchor point to another part of the song, the anchor point is forgotten, and if just gives you the start of the audio file as the reference point. Am I the only one with this problem?
    Not seeing this - this works just as before here . .

  • Can i use the time capsule as just an external hard drive for music or does it have to be used soley as a backe up?? im thinking for music and photos

    Can I use the time capsule as just an external hard drive for music or does it have to be used soley as a back up?  I'm thinking for music and photos

    Hello friends.. I have a similar question, in that I would like to purchase the 2TB TC for use as a NAS device, in addition to taking advantage of the Air Port extreme.. Then I could dump my Linksys router.
    I was originally looking at a Synology NAS solution, but the TC seems like it can meet my needs.
    I have a Synology NAS as well as the Time Capsule.  If you look at the 3.2 beta program, the Synology actually attempts to replicate TC functionality in that you can use it with Time Machine on your Mac.
    I must say, Airport on the TC is definitely a nice feature!

    In addition to the obvious feature of the backup, can I indeed also use the TC as a NAS drive to access from remote locations (example from the office)?
    I'm surprised more people aren't using the TC as a dedicated NAS deviced.. I've searched high and low on forums around the web, and don't seem to see many people trying to use it as I've outlined.
    I can't see why this wouldn't fufill my needs, and take the place of a separate NAS solution (like the Synology, or iOmega, Seagate, etc....)
    Has anyone used this TC as such?
    Yes, you can do this and it's something I've been trying to do, but I'm currently having issues.  I have another thread stating I consistently get "connection failed" messages.  I'm basically storing my music/photo/video files on the TC and keeping my Mac hard drive fairly lean.  In terms of NAS functionality, the TC is very basic.  Synology/QNAP and others have a lot more features so don't rule them out.

  • This is an odd one, does Logic have its own clock?

    Hey all,
    This is one for the books over here. Does Logic have its own clock? Not as in clocking, 44.1 48 etc. Not in that respect, but rather does Logic have its own "date and time" clock separate from OS X?
    Here's what's happening...
    We have two rooms here. Identical. Writing done in "A" gets sent over to "B", cleaned up, sent back over to "A" etc etc. So in the "A" room, a cue comes from "B" with a last opened time of last night at 10:00 pm. A last modified time of 10:15 pm last night. That's the data if you get info on it from a finder window. Now with Logic open if you "open" a cue from Logic, navigate to where this cue is at, it says that the cue was last opened TONIGHT at 9:40pm (which is in the FUTURE) and last modified TONIGHT at 9:55pm (also in the FUTURE). We've caught it now, and things seem to be okay if you open a cue from the finder window and not from Logic->File->Open. A cue was opened from Logic yesterday, two hours of work done, saved often, and when it was closed and then opened again after lunch, none of the work was present. And the date and time modified was again in the future. So SO weird. Cleared prefs, repaired permissions. Still happening. Anyone else experiencing this? Any tips? Advice? Does Logic have its own clock? We're baffled.
    Any help is greatly appreciated as always!
    Best wishes,
    the Earle-Tones Music crew

    Brent, thanks for seconding in here. Sometimes this kind of you'd-never-expect-it-to-happen-weirdness can be easily written off as some kind of itinerant digital voodoo without this kind of corroboration.
    So while we're on the subject of the finder lying... Folders are no picnic either.
    If you create a folder and never open it but throw a bunch of stuff into it within the same minute that it's created, its creation date and modification date will be the same. But the simple act of opening that folder for the first time can cause its mod date to change. Or, if you go into that folder and re-organize some items, or rename some items, the folder's modification date will also change.
    This means that if you have a bunch of folders contained within another folder (the "containing folder"), and you re-organize/re-name items within those folders, you can't count on the modification date of any one of the contained folders to indicate the order in which they were originally created. Because of this behavior you'll want to view by date created. But I still can't get my head around the idea that manipulation of data within a folder causes the attributes of the containing folder to change.
    This may have some bearing on your current situation... or then again, maybe not LOL!   : - )

  • Looking for feedback from those who have installed Windows

    I have an Intel iMac - brilliant machine, I love it. I have not installed Windows : I just don't have the need to justify doing it, but I'm glad to know I can if I do need, or just want to.
    Having a Mac is almost like being immune to viruses (almost - I'm not careless). Everytime I use a PC there are message about viruses - it must drive them crazy! And to install Windows on my iMac would render it vulnerable.
    I'm just looking for feedback from those who have taken the plunge: how's it working for you? I'm not so concerned about the speed...more so about .exe files running amok.
    There is no way I will install Windows without a valid need and hearing at least a couple of first hand user experiences

    I HAVE SPENT 1 HOUR TODAY AT THE APPLE SHOP ASKING THE GENIUS GUY - WHY ARE APPLE COMPUTERS IMMUNE TO VIRUS AND HOW DO I PROTECT MY PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM BEING INTERROGATED AND TRANSMITTED TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
    MY QUERY STEMS FROM EMAILS - IF THEY HAVE A PICTURE ATTACHED THE MACHINE WILL NOT OPEN THE PICTURES - THE MESSAGE SAYS TO PROTECT MY IDENTITY CLICK HERE IF YOU WISH TO DOWNLOAD. I HAVE TO MAKE A JUDGEMENT TO TRUST THE SITE WHICH SEEMS ODD AND SO WHEN I ALLOW THE DOWN - I DO WONDER WHAT IS GOING ON.
    I DO RUN A SEPARATE PC AND WHEN I DOWN LOAD THE MAILS ONTO THAT COMPUTER MY NORTON ENGAGES AND WARNS OF INFORMATION OF PRIVATE NATURE BEING ATTEMPTED TO BE TRANSMITTED - AT THAT STAGE I CAN STOP THE TRANSMISSION - ON THE MAC I HAVE NO MEANS - THE GENIUS GUY SAYS DON'T WORRY.
    HELP - CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT IS IT ABOUT MAC THAT WOULD SETTLE MY CONCERNS AND ALLOW ME TO DOWN LOAD IMAGES CONTAINED IN EMAIL WITHOUT WORRY OF THE COMPUTER BEING FRISKED FOR DATA AND IT BEING TRANSMITTED INTO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.

    Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions!
    You will continue to hear different opinions here, where thoughts range everywhere between "anti-virus software is the evil spawn of Satan" to "anyone not running anti-virus software is a fool."
    Truth is, this is still a very personal decision on a Mac. Depending on circumstances, it is still very easily possible to stay safe without using anti-virus software, but circumstances and personal preferences vary widely. Besides which, anti-virus software cannot even remotely provide you a guarantee of protection!
    To learn how to stay safe (with or without anti-virus software), and how to decide whether to use anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide.

  • My iMac is looking for wireless keyboard but I have a usb and it is plugged in.

    my iMac is looking for wireless keyboard but I have a usb and it is plugged in. Right now I am using the one from my old computer. This happened once before and I unplugged/plugged in, restarted. Didn't work. Repeated several times, it finally worked. This time not so much. Any one else have this problem and know how to solve it?

    Try turning off Blue Tooth in its respective preference panel. Do not try using the USB keyboard in a USB extender. Connect directly to the computer.

    I have searched high and low loading every instrument in Logic and what I am trying to do is, load a AIFF OR WAV file and then tweak, mangle it.
    Does Logic come with a sampler or are they all players in that you have to use a proprietary format?
    If it does, can someone let me know how?

    Yes. EXS 24 is the sampler instrument.
    I loads AIFF, WAV, SD2, Soundfont and other trypes of files.
    RTFM. Theres a whole manual just on the Logic plugins. Crack it open to the EXS24 chapter.
    Cheers
    Say what?
    I have to open a book? LOL! I don't think I've done that in quite a while, even when I was working on Gigastudio for the Mac (which I have a working copy of, to bad Tascam took so long, suppose that's why they stopped development)...
    LOL, anyway, I will but can't someone tell me how to load a aiff, wav or am I missing out as I do want to not only load but manipulate. Is it a good sampler in that like Sculpture, or say N.I. sampler that I can mangle the sample to make it sound very different?
    Thanks
    I can, for 250 an hour.
    Or, you can RTFM. That is what the manual is there for.
    Not only will you learn (to read) you might learn how to do something by yourself. Amazing. You'll be the toast of your community, I'll bet you even get laid... ok, maybe not that... ok ok you'll be able to get out of your parent's house. yes, that is more realistic for you.

  • Does Pages have the feature I am looking for?  Or does TextEdit (i hope so)

    hello! I was looking for a specific wordpad function, and was hoping that Apple's TextEdit program had such a feature.
    What I am looking for, is the ability to insert the equivalent of one of those little triangles that point to the right, indicating that there is expandable content if clicked (which would of course reveal the content underneath what followed the triangle, which would than be pointing downward). You know, very much like how you view a finder window in 'list view'.
    I would love to have those expandable/collapsable triangles for lists I set up in TesxtEdit. This function would also work well for writing paper outlines, or organizing information under various topic headings, so I could enter notes and content under each heading's dropdown area of text, and than collapse it to minimize the cluttering of my document.
    Does TextEdit have a feature that provides the same kind of result? If not, does anyone know of any program that has a feature like this? I currently have been employing TextEdit for my needs running Tiger, so please fill me in on any features that TextEdit under Leopard might have that would get me to my desired goal.
    Thanks!!!!!

    No, you are describing a form of Outlining that Pages does not do neither does TextEdit nor any other text editor I know of.
    OmniOutliner does however do this:

    Pages' Outline feature does something similar but without the little rotating arrow.

  • Looking for External Sound Device for iBook G4

    Does anyone know of an external audio device similar to Creative Technology's Sound Blaster Extigy that will work with my iBook G4? I would like to record CDs played through an external CD player that has audio compression. Unfortunately the iBook lacks audio inputs. Thanks.
    Don Squires

    Perhaps this is what you're looking for:
    http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/SonicaTheater-main.html
    I had an Extigy with my previous notebook (presario 1500) and absolutely loved the sound I got through my creative 5.1 speakers, at least when my computer was working properly
    I see the sonic theatre as the mac equivalent, although it doesn't appear to have a remote, oh well. I have no idea how much of the software will work on a mac, but it can't be too hard to find some good audio software.

  • Looking for Rickenbacker sound as software instrument or sample library

    Hi everybody,
    does anybody here know if there is any kind of software instrument pout there or a sample library that can be used for a (demo) substitution for a Rickenbacker bass guitar sound?
    You know, this incredibly and unmatched elastic and rumbly bass guitar sound that can send your stomach on a roller coaster ride...

    Hey Trey,
    Are you looking for loops to create music, or pre-existing music beds? For loops, I've used bandmate loops - http://www.bandmateloops.com - most of them sound really good to me. I don't really use music beds in my projects.
    If you're looking for sound effects and don't need loops, STP can work with several formats, so there are the large cd libraries if you're looking for lots of (expensive) choices, or if you just need a couple of sounds you're not finding, you could try a site like http://sounddogs.com. They have thousands of downloadable effects, and you pay based on the number and length of the effect. I've used them before, and they were really convenient. They also might have music beds available, but they most likely won't be in apple loop format.
    Hope this helps!

    Just add more sounds to GB.
    "Upgrade" to Logic if you want more knobs to twist, not because you'd like a few more samples.
