MBox 1 and Logic - success anyone?

hi - I've been using PT 7.4 with MBox 1 (original) on OSX 10.5.5. Have installed Logic, and searched this board for advise, and am still in need of help.
- I've downloaded Digi CoreAudio Manager, standalone version 7.4.2. (I still have PT installed, its working fine)
- Double checked System Preferences In/Out settings, and Utilities>Audio Midi setup.
- In Logic, selected MBox in Preferences>Audio
- restarted all several times.
Still, on starting Logic, I get "DEA: No Audio Hardware found", then "Audio Device has been removed", then "The previously selected audio interface is not available.." and Logic uses internal in/out. (Though MBox is still selected in Logic Preferences)
I've read people having problems with MBox/Logic... Has anyone had success with MBox 1? What did you do that I didn't? thanks for any help. Carl

Never had a problem with the MBox 1 & logic Pro 8
Just out of interest have you got the USB connection direct into your computer by this i mean one of the built in USB ports that come with your machine
I have come across one or two who had problems with using USB hubs apparentl the M Box family dont like to go through hubs & will only work if its a direct USB connection
You cant even use it if you have expanded with a PCI or PCI x card it has to be one of the built in USB ports
My G5 has 3 USB ports it originally came with & i have expanded with a PCI card for 4 more I also can only use 1 of the 3 original ones
Failing that try downloading the latest drivers
Luck

  • Mbox Mini and Logic for school. Question?

    I am going to Fullsail in Orlando, Florida in Jan. 2008. They teach Pro Tools HD there, but just added Logic Pro to the Recording Arts program. I'm thinking of buying a mbox mini and Logic Express to get more familiar with both programs before going to school.
    Will the mbox mini work as an interface for Logic? I'm just trying to avoid buying a separate interface. I'll buy one if I have to. What about the Emu 0202 USB ($129.00)?
    Thanks for any and all help.

    Thanks. I'm actually interested in post-production
    audio. Sound design, editing, foley type sound
    effects and the like. I'm a musician (drums, keys)
    but have always had an affinity for the explosions,
    door creaks, foot steps, and the "how did they make
    that sound" type of stuff in movies and video.
    I've heard great things about Fullsail. I'll have to
    relocate there, but it's only 3 hrs. north of me. I'm
    in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
    Thanks for all of the help.

    Hi,
    I undrlined the stuff you will probably be doing best in PT.Now I LOVE Logic,but the standard in studios for movies here in the USA is not Logic.It's ProTools.So learn that one first,as it is easier,and as you learn get through Logic.
    Cheers

  • Mbox pro and Logic Pro X

    Does anyone know if you can use the mbox pro for surround audio in Logic Pro X?

    Well, Avid is not your friend. Even with an HD system it's a hassle to play iTunes, QT or Youtube.
    But look here:

  • Mbox Micro or Mbox Mini w/ Logic

    Anyone here had any experience w/ an Mbox Micro (or Mbox Mini) and Logic ? Are they in any way compatible ??? Our band has been doing some recordings in Pro Tools LE 8, and I want to be able to work on the mixes on my downtime. However for work and my own projects, I mainly use Logic and wouldn't mind an external interface (I find my MBP's internal soundcard to be quite noisy, expecially when I'm running a second monitor using the DVI output...).
    Thus ideally an interface that runs both Logic and Pro tools - perhaps an MBox Micro ???

    The new Mbox series is about to be released so you may want to wait until then considering they're advertised to work with all DAWs.

  • Has anyone had a problem using Mainstage 2 and Logic 9 with PreSonus fire studio Mobile?

    I Still can't get Mainstage and Logic to play well with my setup. I'm using a Mac Pro 2 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB ram and Logic 9.1.6 and Mainstage2. I have a PreSonus Firestudio Mobile and M-Audio Midisport midi interfaces. The only Midisport that works consistently is a MisiSport 2X2 sith a thru/merge switch set to merge. I am playing all of this with a Roland A-90 keyboard. Logic sometimes starts, but the audio interface doesn't work. Mainstage crashes on start-up. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Hi
    There have been several reported issues on this forum about problems a) with Roland controllers (Sending MIDI Clock and 'All Notes Off' ???), and b) MIDSport interfaces

    I suggest that you try a 'scientific' process of elimination:
    Disconnect all external hardware, and try MS
    Connect the hardware singly, one at a time, to determine which is causing the problem

    The installer for Logic Pro 8 has a bug which keeps it from operating in Lion or Mt. Lion.  Use the program Pacifist to install it.

    If your info is correct you need to first buy Snow Leopard from the Apple on-line store ($20) install and update to 10.6.8 and then buy Lion from the App Store for $20.

  • Anyone use hypersonic 2 and logic express 9?

    anyone use hypersonic 2 and logic express 9?
    Message was edited by: Kajun Muzik

    Actually I have found a way for at least the instrument plug ins to be accessed.
    I was able to set up an instance of Sculpture in MS2 and record it in LE using Soundflower.
    Route the audio from MainStage to Logic and record onto an audio track in Logic as follows:
    If not already installed, get SoundFlower. After installing it.
    A) Setup the sound you want in MS2 and audio output to Soundflower (remember to Apply Changes or it does not hold).
    B) In Logic Express set the audio input to Soundflower and create a new audio track for recording. Important: set Soundflower's audio output to however you listen to your audio or you won't hear anything.
    C) Press RECORD and start playing, LE captures Mainstage's sound.
    I have not tried to wire LE's output to MS2 to take advantage of Space Designer. but since this functions, I'm not sure why that couldn't work as well. It is still flipping though a few screens though...might just be easier to get Logic Pro from the App store....

  • Original Mbox and Logic Express 9

    Does the original Mbox work with Logic Express 9, or is there away to make it work? Thanks!

    okay. i just figured out a really weird fix/workaround
    the only input option is input 1, but, if you go to audio settings, and in the core audio settings, arbitrarily change the Sample Size, it will bring back both inputs.
    like the first time i changed the buffer sample size to 512, then they came back, the next time i launched logic, it was still at 512 but the inputs stopped again, so i switched it back to 256, and now both inputs work again (prolly until i exit logic pro 9)

  • GPU Acceleration for both FCP-X and Premiere? Anyone have NVIDIA GTX285 or NVIDIA QuadroFX 4800? ...and successful at using both editors with GPU Acceleration?

    I'm in the market for a Laptop MAC solution to GPU accelerated editing. Because of multi-client workflow needs, I need to edit HD video with both FCP-X and ADOBE CS5.5 Premiere. The only GPU capable Graphics Cards that seem to satisfy both "camps" are from NVIDIA - GTX285 and NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800
    Does anyone have these cards AND using both softwares AND having success at it?
    I sure would appreciate any experienced advice with using NVIDIA GPU accelration with MacBook Pro especially!
    Thanks,

    How do you plan on using a PCIe card with a laptop? Via a Thunderbolt PCIe adapter? I can't help with that. In fact, I didn't think those adapters were even out yet.
    I do have a Mac Pro and I use the NVDIA Quadro 4000 For Mac. This works great for Premiere Pro. As good as the 4800 and for less money. Check out this comparison.

  • Anyone Using PC and Logic with hypersonic ?

    by this time i should be on mac, yeah i know but my PC still works and i can still make music
    but I was wondering if hpersonic supports multiple output on mac and how well does it run
    because i'm thiking of upgrading to a mac and also thinking of getting hypersonic 2 upgrade
    does it work with logic 7?
    is there something similar to hypersonic or better?
    hypersonic happens to be the backbone of all my songs
    thanks

    its pretty simple
    there is few ways of doing this
    one is the analog way :
    1: connect a midi output from the mac to a midi input to the PC
    2: i assume you have a pro interfaces in both mac and PC, so connect 2 or 4 or 6 channels output of the PC to the mac's audio input
    3: Launch both logic and insert an instrument of your choice in any of the instrument channels ( EXS24 OR HYPERSONIC ) then select a midi channel in logic pro 7
    4: Make sure what ever channel you have selected is the same channel in logic 5.5 on PC ( example, midi channel one will connect to instrument 1 with the input set to midi ch 1 )
    if the input on instrument 1 is set to midi to then it wont receive the info from Midi channel 1's output of the mac unless you choose midi channel 2 just like any rewire
    5: set the Instrument 1's output to what ever you want the mac to receive from
    so if you set the output to 3-4 then you need to select an audio track and set the input to 3-4 to receive the lines just like logic will receive the channel outputs of reason when its been rewired
    the good thing about this is you can have stereo inputs for every channels
    6: start playing any key on the midi channel 1 on the Logic 7 (Mac) and it'll control the PC logic with the audio output coming in input 3-4 on any of the audio tracks you select in logic
    good thing about this is you insert as much powerful plug-ins as wont because they are not in play mode, the only thing thats been triggered is the sounds from the plug-ins so therefore it does eat as much CPU as having them instrument on logic 7 on the same mac or having reason on the same computer
    IMPORTANT NOTE
    when bouncing, don't bounce it as off-line because its just having an external sound module, bounce it in realtime
    and you change the songs to another songs, save the session on Logic 7 and logic 5.5 just like how you'll do on reason and logic 7
    two is digital way :
    its the same as the analog ways except the audio out put from the PC to the Mac is connect via ( SPDF )
    i hope that sounds a bit simple but if you need more info i'll be glad to help you on that

  • Anyone got Pro Tools 8 and Logic 8 to sync together?

    Hi all - I have read the forums over at DUC (digidesign) regarding syncing Logic and PT via IAC on the same machine and via Network Midi or via midi ports on a 003. I have been unable to slave Logic to Protools 8 both on the same machine (using IAC) or running Logic 8 from a laptop connected via Network Midi, or via the midi ports on a 003.
    The threads on this (working) seem to reflect the use of Pro tools 7.4.2 and earlier, not Pro Tools 8. I am looking for any user who has managed to get Pro Tools 8 and Logic 8 to sync together (either on separate machines, or the same machine). If so, I would appreciate a step by step on what you have done to achieve sync between the two programs, since I have now exhausted all of the solutions posted over at DUC.
    I am running PT8 LE with a 003 on a MacPro Quad, and Logic 8 on a Macbook Pro. Thanks in advance.

    Ok after more testing I have managed to get this working using a direct midi connection between the 003 and the laptop (using a Edirol UM1 and the 003). Here is what I did.
    ProTools8LE as master running on MacPro:
    1. Setup->Session
    1a. Set the session start time to 00:00:00:00
    1b. Time code rate =25
    2. Setup->Peripherals
    2a. Synchronization - MTC reader Port: Digi 003, Port 1
    MTC Generator Port: Digi 003, Port 1
    3. Set session tempo (eg: 120bpm)
    4. Transport- hit the arrow on the right hand side of the transport window and select "Synchronization" then hit the GEN MTC button
    LOGIC slave running on Laptop.
    1. Connect MIDI i/o interface to ports on 003
    2. Set session tempo to match that in PT (120bpm)
    3. Settings->Synchronization
    Sync mode = MTC
    Auto Enable External Sync = yes
    Frame Rate = 25 (same as protools)
    Auto detect format of MTC = yes
    Bar position 1111 plays at SMPTE 00:00:00:00 (this matches the setting in PT)
    Thats it. This setup appears to be working on my rig. I still haven't got this to work over Network midi, and I still haven't got PT8LE and Logic 8 to work together on the same machine. Let me know how you go.

  • Anyone here using Metric Halo 2882 DSP and Logic 8???? I got issues....

    If you are using the Metric Halo 2882+DSP and Logic 8 please let me know as I am having some goofy issues that I need to bounce off someone that might have been thru this already....
    Thanks

    I have one. What's your problem? BTW, Metric Halo tech support is great. And they have an active and helpful mailing list([email protected]), with the developers answering questions.

  • Is Anyone Having Trouble with the latest Liquid Mix driver and Logic 8?

    I'm having a host of problems with my Liquid Mix and Logic (also Digital Performer too.. but that's another forum :0) ). I experience a great deal of latency and flanging when using two instances of it on a channel. How is it for everyone else?

    First, contact Focusrite and make them aware of your LM/Logic problems. I'm communicating with a rep who said he wasn't aware of any issues with LM and Logic.
    Next, I speculate the latest driver of the Version 2 software can't live up to it's claims of variable latency. When I follow the minimum latency of 1032 for the LM manager (as posted on their support site), LM and Logic behave well. The problem for me is I never use 512 in Logic.

  • Problems with Presonus Firestudio and Logic

    I am having problems with compatability with my brand new Presonus Firestudio recording interface and Logic pro 8. I am new to logic but not to home recording, and i cant understand what might be the problem. When i use the firestudio with garageband it works easily. In the garageband sound preferences there are input AND output channels that the user can define. (i.e. you can set your input channels to come from the firestudio while the output channels go to the computer speakers or headphone jacks or whatever you define it as).
    From what i have seen in logic, there is only one option for your audio settings. when in preferences and under audio, there is a "device" setting in which you can define your audio device. Wheather this is input AND output for the program, i do not know. but the problem i am experiencing is that whenever i choose the firepod as the input device, no sound from logic will play from the speakers whatsoever. My first thought was that maybe ouput was going straight to the firestudio, but after plugging headphones into it this also did not work. Has anyone had success getting their firestudio to work in logic? if so let me know what settings you had to use, and how you got to moniter your input from from the firestudio via your computer.
    p.s.
    another WIERD problem i have run into, is that if i shut off the firestudio while logic is open, alot of times it will shut down my whole computer. i have never heard of this happening. what am i doing wrong?
    thanks!

    ah, I was hoping to find my solution here, but alas the thread is gone...
    I recently bought a Macbook running Leopard, and am having difficulties with my PreSonus Firestudio Project thru Logic and Mainstage. I can get audio input and output just fine, but there's a ton of distortion/crackle. Kickstarting the sample rate seems to clear it up for a minute or two, but then the crackle comes back. The recorded tracks sound clean if I unplug the Firestudio, so apparently it's only in the monitoring stage?
    On the PreSonus board, they're claiming it's Apple who needs to update drivers for Leopard; PreSonus says the "Firestudio Project is Leopard compatible."
