Mainstage still packaged with Logic Pro?

So I wanted to get the jam packs to use in garageband but it turns out they're all in Mainstage 2 now. I am planning on upgrading to logic in a year or so and I thought mainstage came packaged with it. Do you have to purchase them separately now? Logic express used to be $199 and Logic Pro was $499. What happened to that? Are all the plugins and third party effects gone now? What is going on?

Mainstage is no longer packaged with Logic Pro.
It can be downloaded separately (with all of its JamPacky goodness) for $29.99.
Logic Express was cancelled as Logic Pro now costs what Logic Express used to cost: $199.

  • Will MainStage 3 work with logic pro 9

    Hi
    Will i be able to use Mainstage 3 with Logic Pro 9. I intend to use it for playing guitar over backing tracks made within Logic Pro 9. Also is latency a problem. I have 2.5GHz quad core I5 MacBook Pro with 4Gig RAM.

    You shouldn't have latency problems if you have it set up properly. I can run both programs simultaneously on a 2009 dual core 2.4 MacBook Pro with 6 GB Ram. I would consider upgrading your RAM. You may want to try using the Playback plugin in Mainastage 3 for playing back your mixed down tracks. Then you would only need to run Mainstage by itself live.

  • Alesis Midi Controller Keyboard setup with Logic Pro 8

    Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me... I'm a complete newbie!
    Recently bought a Macbook with Logic Pro 8 and would like to get set up for some home recording. The keyboard I want to use as a midi controller is the Alesis QS6 which has been in the wardrobe for some time. I have a Midiman USB midi interface.
    When I connect it all up, I can't get it to make any sounds from Logic, only from the keyboard itself, which I don't want. A friend suggested taking out one of the midi cables so now I have only Midi out from the keyboard running into Midi in on the Midiman. When I play the keyboard the notes register on the Transport bar and I can even record them but I cannot hear anything.
    Can anyone tell me what settings I need to have on the Alesis? Should the Keyboard Mode be on Normal, CH Solo or Out 1,2,3...16? I read somewhere I need to turn General Midi off, does this sound right? Is it something to do with midi channels - I don't even know how to tell which midi channel is selected in Logic.
    If anyone has experience with using the QS6 with Logic I would love to hear from you!!!
    Thanks!

    Run the Audio/MIDI Setup utility. Is your keyboard/MIDI interface displayed in there?
    If not, OSX does not see your MIDI device. Install it's drivers if it has them. If it doesn't have any drivers, your MIDI config might have got hosed. What keyboard is it?
    Unplug and replug it, directly, don't use a hub. Does it show up in the AMS utility now? Try powering it for an adapter, not from USB.
    If you still get no joy, I'll give you some procedures to try...

  • Problem with Fader Banks and Channel in MCU PRO with Logic Pro X

    I purchased a Mackie Control Universal Pro earlier this week, and I have talked with Mackie support techs twice and they have not been able to help me. My problem is that everything seems to work well with Logic X talking with the MCU with the exeption that the Fader Banks function will not move left to channels 1-8, they are stuck at channel 9-16, and will move to the right on to 17-24 and so on,  but it doesnt move to 1-8 when the left fader bank motor is pressed.  However when you toggle tany channel 1-8 levers on the computer screen, the corresponding lever on the Mackie goes up and down,  but the reverse does not occur. The Mackie folks say this is a problem with Logic Pro X, not the MCU.  Perhaps they are correct,  because I still have Logic Express on my Mac and when I close Logic X and Open Logic Express the fader banks move perfectly from 1-8, 9-16, and so on as do the tracks.   My computer is update with Mavericks. 
    I would appreciate any help! I am not a techie, an old guy who used to record on 4 track computers, and want to get away from a mouse control,  but I'm going to take the Mackie MCU back if I cant get this straight,  I've spent a lot of time on this.  Help!

    thank you Pete in Denver,  I actually made some progress today, in setting up the control surface of the Logic Pro Control Surfaces Support Manual, around page sixteen gave me a partial answer.  I had the Mackie icon first, then the Logic Control,  and it said to drag and drop the preferred icon to the left or first place.  that solved my not being able to access channels 1-8, I was able to press the fader bank left button and - voila!.  so that saved my initial problem,  but I still have some issues in moving faders and banks in existing projects,  some tracks show up lit up in the tan colors others don't,  but that is probably due to the way i would move tracks around once I received tracks on drop box from a friend and created new tracks, and I changed a lot of the order of the tracks.  ANyway.  I did make progress.  Thanks!

  • Using Mackie Control with Logic Pro 7 and Yamaha O1X

    I currently own a Yamaha O1x which is a mixer/control surface/audio interface that I use with Logic Pro 7. I am planning on selling the O1X and replacing it with the Mackie Control Universal as my DAW controller and using the Apogee Ensemble as my audio interface. I already have purchased the Mackie Control Universal and would like to begin using it instead of the O1X as my DAW controller, but while I am waiting for the Apogee Ensemble to be released I still need the audio interface capabilties of the O1X. The O1X uses Yamaha's MLAN protocol to connect to the G5. MLAN is a firewire interface that can transmit both audio and midi. Does anyone have a suggestion for a work-around solution so that I can use my Mackie Control Universal (which connects via midi cable) and only use the audio capability but not the control surface of the O1X via the firewire connection? I haven't been able to figure my way through this one and see if it is possible. I have already tried having them both hooked up at the same time, and the Mackie Control seemed to work fine but the audio on the O1X didn't seem to be connecting and functioning properly. I appreciate any help as I am anxious to use my Mackie Control.
    Thank you!

    You need to connect only the Audio and not the MIDI between your 01x and Mac. You can achieve this in mLan Graphic Patchbay-connect the cables between the Nodes in Audio part of a Graphic Patchbay, connect the Wordclock but do not make any MIDI connections. this way it should work as you want. the other way is to Make your regular connection from mLan Autoconnector and disable the MIDI ports that are dedicated to control the DAW by 01x by some freeware utility (01x uses port 1 for that...)
    As this is quite 01x specific, please visit 01xray.com/forums where you will find more help, or send me PM.
    As Apogee enssemble is expected to have great features, I would rather recommend the i88x instead of Enssemble (i88x has two Mic preamps-the best Yamaha produces (derived from Dm2000)VERY good converters (mLan is known for low jitter and it was tested with Rosseta by a mate from 01x forum who said (he tested it in store with other people) that i88x sounded better-may believe it or not...).The mLan Graphis Patchbay application allows you to patch connections between mLan devices and computer -very flexible. 01x already does almost the same as Mackie control and it is for almost the same price.... But maybe you are pi_ssed of waiting for new mLan drivers? I am just speculating....

  • Novation Remote 25SL Not Working with Logic Pro (Logic Automap)

    Hi,
    I can't seem to get my new Novation Remote 25 SL to work in Logic Automap mode.
    I have the Remote SL in Logic AutoMap (template #39). When I launch Logic Pro 7, The Remote SL shows : "Logic AutoMap" on the Left LCD display, and nothing else happens, it seems to be frozen at this state. The Up/Down arrows on the Left side don't change anything.
    Any clues why this is happening ?
    I have read many posts on this and other forums of user issues in setting the Remote up properly, and have it work in Logic Automode. Tried many configurations, and settings, re-installed sw, OS 1.0.13, but no luck so far.
    I would like to hear from Logic Pro 7 users who have successfully setup their Remote SL with Logic Pro 7.2.1 in Logic Automode, and are working with this system without any issues.
    This will be very helpful in figuring out if there is something wrong in my settings, or if the unit itself is defective, or I am doing something wrong during the installation of the software ? I have been trying to get this thing to work for the past two days, with no success so far.
    The Remote SL should be a wonderful controller for Logic Pro 7 (once it works !) so, I'm being as patient as I can with this thing.
    I'm using Logic pro 7.2.1 on a Mac G5 2.5 Quad, Mac OSX 10.4.6
    Thanks.

    Hi Blaze,
    I tried your settings, but no change, the Remote SL is still frozen showing :
    "Logic Automap" on the left LCD .
    You mention setting "Mixer View 64" well the parameter I see is called :
    "Mixer View Fader" which I guess is the same one you are referring to. I set it to 64, it was set to 8, but has not changed anything. Still having the same problem. This problem is dragging into Day 3, what a bummer.
    Thanks.

  • USB Interface Not Working With Logic Pro 9

    Hello,
    I've had a Tascam US-1641 for several years now with absolutely zero issues on my old PC. Ever since I upgraded to Mac (early 2011 17 inch Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard) I've had nothing but problems with the US-1641. No matter how many times I uninstall-reinstall the drivers and what USB port I plug it into, whenever I turn on the device and it's connected to my Macbook, it crashes my operating system and it freezes everything I was doing. Logic Pro doesn't load and when it sometimes does (10 minutes later), it immediately crashes when I click anything.
    I've tried several tips to fix it and nothing worked. The most popular choice was select the default input/output in Logic to the system audio, then quit Logic, turn on the interface, then restart Logic. No such luck. I have to reboot my machine at least 5 times, uninstall/reinstall the driver and hope it works to use the interface. I thought it was the operating system, so I upgraded to Mountain Lion and installed the new driver for Mountain Lion, after of course deleting the other drivers and removing all previous data, and it is still giving me the same problems.
    I don't have the money to afford a replacement model or a different interface from a different company, so I'm hoping you guys can help me figure out what exactly it is that's causing the interface to freeze my operating system and crashing my Mac whenever I try to use it. I am getting extremely frustrated at this and as much as I love OSX and Logic, what good is this piece of software if I can't use it? I need help.
    Thank you.

    The problem lies with Tascam and their inability to write stable drivers for OS X...  and isn't anything to do with Logic Pro ..
    As you know, you are not the only person to have had this issue and the reality is, while the 1641 might work fine with  Windows, when it comes to OS X Macs.. it's an entirely different story... depending on the version of OS XS you are running.
    The one tip I have read, that seemed to fix it for most people.. (Though not all) is as follows;
    (Thanks to Paulypaulpaul for this)
    -uninstall your tascam driver 2.10
    -restart
    -install driver 1.03
    -restart
    -plug in your tascam
    -goto where you download your drivers (http://tascam.com/product/us-1641/downloads/), scroll down to the bottom where it says firmware, Download the firmware 1.02 (3rd from top under firmware), install it. your control panal should now read 1.03 for your drivers and 1.02 for your firmware.
    -install drivers 2.10
    -restart
    Follow each of the steps exactly.. including all restarts when indicated..
    ...and good luck...

  • Help with logic pro 8!!

    Hi everyone, I just switched from garageband to logic pro 8 and cant seem to get any sound from my monitors. I'm using a lexicon alpha v interface and my monitors are m-audio av30's. I'm also using a m-audio oxygen49 midi keyboard. This setup worked great in garageband but I cant seem to get it to work in logic pro 8. Logic 8 does recognize the keyboard and I also changed the preferences to the lexicon alpha v but still no sound. I'm really new to this so please be gentle!  Thanks                                            

    I got a good deal on ebay full retail brand new un-opened box with licences. I couldnt afford logic pro 9 so I went with logic pro 8. Plus I'm still learning, when I get better I'll upgrade to logic pro 9.

  • Help with Logic Pro 8 Outputs

    Hi
    Struggling with something that i imagine is very simple but just cant work it out! Please help me.
    I will be using Logic 8 within a live environment and need to basically get various audio tracks 'out' of logic via my interface into a mixing desk.  I have 8 sub outs on my interface which is fine for me. (prob lots of people do this also with a mixing desk in the studio environment for intergration with the desk and outboard gear so i 100% sure it can be done!)
    Prob 1 is that the track sub outs in logic come in stereo pairs. If i want bass to go to output 1 , and kick for eg to go to output 2, how can i do this???? Is there a way to change the track outputs to mono?
    Prob 2 is that if i change the outputs in one session, for example click to output 3 - 4, vocals for example to output 5 and 6, then save the session, close and reopen, they have all reverted to output 1 and 2. In a live situation it is annoying to have to change these before each song starts!
    I play in a electro band that incorperates live drums, analog synths, logic audio (backing tracks kinda thing) aswell as live instruments, and finding logic pretty challenging to use for this!! We are flat broke and cant afford new stuff so have been living with it but we are now starting to need more outputs (for the benefits of live mixing , ie not giving the engineer a stereo out) . Surely the mixer in logic is capable of these totally bog standard audio routing options?!?!?
    Thanks alot for any help

    Do you mean the sample buffer is at 32 or 1024.
    Even though you have Apple's flagship system it's still possible for Logic to bring it to it's knees. High sample rates plus a couple of space designer reverbs can send a single core into an overload condition.
    Try these settings under Preferences/Audio.
    I/O Buffer Size - 256
    Process buffer - medium
    Do NOT have the I/O Safety Buffer selected.
    More info.
    What sample rate and bit depth are you recording at? ie: 48kHz, 24-bit?
    When you open Logic's CPU meters are you seeing a single core spiking?
    What effects are being used on the audio and single VI track?

  • DVD-A surround with Logic pro... Troubles

    Hi everyone
    I'm producing and mixing an album with logic pro 8 in surround mode 5.1
    In the window bounce, I can create a DVD-A... Cool, but I cannot read and test it with the dvd player include in my iMac.
    I want to create a DVD-A who can be read on all DVD players and control it before duplication for the sale.
    I've tried to import the surround files into Waveburner but it's impossible, only 2 channels files are accepted.
    How can I do ?
    Is someone can help me ?

    Hi. I believe DVD-A is still not a free protocol, and DVD-A players are rare. and though Logic can make DVD-A, there is no program for the Mac that can actually play them. I'll try a little search, there has been a comprehensive thread on exactly this topic - though more than a year ago, if I remember correctly...

  • Dangerous Music D-box with Logic Pro X

    Hello; I am a D-box user and Love it! I have used it with PT11 and Studio One with no issues. Now I am trying to setup the routing for Logic Pro X and I'm having a heck of a time getting it to work properly. I get sound when in "analog & sum" mode but not in DAW mode. Yes, I have Print track set up, stems etc.. I have searched all over the internet and can't seem to find any help. I did watch Fab's video on YT with Logic 9 but still having issues. Is there someone here that uses a D-box with Logic Pro X that woudl be willing to give me a hand? I also use a U/A apollo interface. Thank you in advance! It would be so much appreciated.
    my email is
    <Edited by Host>

    I have had problems with this exact setup as well, LogicX - Apollo - DBox. All was working fine until a few weeks ago and then no more DAW S/PDIF. So after checking that the Apollo's S/PDIF was OK and checking cables with a volt meter, etc. I decided to send the DBox back for repair because all things pointed to a dead converter in the DBox.
    It turns out they found nothing wrong with the DBox, no problems at all and it is being sent back to me. I will have it set up soon and will post again here my findings. Watch this space.

  • Digidesign 192 units with Logic Pro X

    Hi- is it possible to use 2/3 Digidesign 192 units with Logic Pro X or am i still relegated to 8 ch in/out w the D. core audio driver? I recently bought an Universal Audio Apollo 16 that I can use for mixing/editing on my iMac or MacBookPro but I have 2 192 units and am thinking of buying another to run on an 2009 Mac Pro for live recording or would I be better off just selling the 192's and purchasing another Apollo 16for 32 tracks for live recordings?
    I could only get 8 ch in/out with LP 9 and will need more inputs for the live recording rig and would rather use Logic than PT 8.
    Thanks!

    Logic Remote detects Logic Pro via Bonjour, which is done via a technology called "DNS Multicast". AirPlay, etc. all work this way. Make sure it has the most recent firmware and maybe google for issues with it.

  • Which 61 key midi keyboards work with Logic Pro X (10)? M-Audio, Novation, Akai, Roland???

    Hi. I'm new to this community but would really appreciate some help.
    I'm struggling to find a 61 key midi keyboard which works properly with Logic Pro X.
    I was looking into getting either the M-Audio Axiom 61 or Novation Impulse 61 but all I can find on google etc. is people saying they don't work properly.
    Has anybody got a 61 key which works seamlessly with Pro X?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    To "The Art Of Sound"
    Hi. I doing next.
    1. I create new project
    2. I select Yamaha Grand Piano
    3. I play something in "live" mode. All is ok
    4. I play something in "Rec" mode. All is ok
    5. I record second track with the same instrument, with Yamaha Grand Piano. All is ok
    6. I record third track with Yamaha Grand Piano. All is ok again.
    7. Now I muting first or second track and... third track plays wrong notes! I unmute first track, but third track still to play wrong notes! Why???
    Ok. I continue experiment with created project. I have three Yamaha grand Piano tracks and I creating new software instrument and assing Hovering Machine to it. I try to play in "live" mode something. And I get interesting effect. If I play short notes (sixteens, for example), I can play for one minute without problem. And Logic Pro X starts to play wrong notes after this time delay.
    If I start to press chord notes without breaking, Logic  Pro X plays for 15-30 secounds normally and starts to play wrong notes them.
    Well. I turn off all plugins and effects from instruments. But Logic Pro X countinues to play wrong notes!
    I experimented with NI Kontakt 5. Kontakt plays wrong notes!
    I experimented with LUSH-101 plugin and minimoog. This two instruments play correct notes always!!! WHY????
    Why some instruments play wrong notes and other instruments play correct notes in the same project?
    I wrote wrong in my previous post. I got this problem with Logic Pro X 10.0.3 update.
    Actually I have serious problem now. I opened projects created in Logic Pro X early and I have this problem  in ALL projects. This's commercial projects and my partners asked me already about release date... What must I answer?
