Moving all Logic Studio's audio.

Hi, when I bought Logic Studio last year I installed all the audio content on my macbook. Now that I've got an external drive I want to move it all! Jam packs, soundtrack pro material, garageband, everything! What's the best way to this?

There's a post two down from this one that explains how one guy did it...

Thinking about moving to Logic Studio

I am seriously thinking about making the move to Logic having watched all the online videos. LOOOVE those new amps!!!! I am pretty good now with Garageband, but think I am ready for more. So my question is has anyone tried to go to Logic? If you did was it hard to learn? Did you end up going back to Garageband in the end? If Logic is too hard to learn is there anyway I can add more cool amps-and sounds to Garageband without having to learn a whole new software.
thanks!

Frank,
These products have AU's that you use inside garageband. If you are looking for more than guitar sounds as in commercial synths you can try the demos of some frome this site.

iCresendo,
You can get demos of the guitar AU's I think. I don't play guitar so I have to use reFX Slayer2.
http://refx.com/?lang=en&page=products/slayer2/summary
I also use Logic studio. I have found that the Lynda modules have helped make it easier to learn.
http://www.lynda.com/
Lynda also has learning modules for GB that are pretty good also.
As far as moving from GB to Logic epress or Studio it depends on how much extra stuff your going to be doing to your tracks. I'm still using GB to make most of my tracks and then going over to Logic to master and add a few things. I really enjoy GB's quickness.
Whatever guitar apps (AU's) you buy for GB you'll also be able to use in Logic Express and Logic Studio. That is also true for commercial synths.

Logic Studio loses audio interface (RME Fireface 800)

Have have fully installed Logic Studio 8.0.1 and the Fireface drivers.
When i'm working with some audio programm (mostly waveburner and Logic) it can happen, that Leopard suddenly loses the interface and when I try shut the Fireface settings and Fireface mixer, finder can shot them down. (it'll only say: not responding). Can't even shut the mac down. Have to shut it down by pressing the power button. After restart the audiointerface is again regonized by the leopard/programms!

well. It won't shut anything down, even though i'm pressing the applealtesc command. It just won't shut down, and this rainbowcolored circle will just spin. So is it a MAC OSX problem or a RME driver problem.. Just few minutes ago we were listening to a beat, and all in the sudden the fireface jammed, drivers collapsed. So Why is that, any answers????

Need 2 install Logic Studio 9 Audio content & Jam Packs?

Have Logic Studio 9: didn't have enough space to download extras originally (i.e., Audio Content & Jam Packs). Have now upgraded to 500 Gb HD for 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro and have tried to install Logic Studio again (The logic Pro; Logic Node; MainStage; and WaveBurner seem to have installed OK - at least they show up in Applications folder) When it comes to installing Studio Content the Studio Content disk install process gets hung up at the end of the downloading. A message window pops up saying: The installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. The Logic Studio software is registered to me and has a Support ID: I6941D2H41H. It is frustratingly difficult to find anywhere that I can contact tech support related to this Logic Studio issue. I would simply like to be able to get the included Audio Content and the Jam Packs from the Logic Studio Suite installed on my MacBook Pro. I would appreciate some response and help to be able to get the application data so that I can fully install the whole Apple Logic Studio program ASAP. A further suggestion is that a means of contacting support for such related issues be instituted. Anyone know how to get the corrupted Audio Content & Jam Packs for downloading?

Firstly you are Not addressing Apple here... This is a User to User Forum...
That said... Give Apple Care a Call... Tell them you are a Logic Pro User and you should be transferred to a Logic Expert...
Explain your situation to them...
Make sure you have your Serial Number and Date of Purchase handy...

Pro Applications Update 2008-02 Update for Logic Studio Owners?

I received Compressor 3.0.3 as part of the Logic Studio 8 bundle.
Pro Applications Update 2008-02 states that it upgrades Compressor 3.0.3, however, Software Update does not offer to update Compressor nor can I download it manually since it is demanding that I provide a Final Cut Pro serial number (which I do not have, I have only the Logic Studio serial number which it won't take).
Does anyone have any idea what Logic Studio owners are supposed to do to obtain Pro Applications Update 2008-02?
Dave

Well, I would agree except that the update specifically provides an update for Compressor 3.0.3 which Logic Studio owners have as well and the update description states that it is recommended for all Logic Studio users.
"Pro Applications Updates improve reliability for Apple's professional applications and are recommended for all users of Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Server, and Logic Studio.
Pro Applications Update 2008-02 addresses installation issues, compatibility updates, and general performance issues and improves overall stability.
Applications included in the update:
Final Cut Pro 6.0.4
Compressor 3.0.3"

Logic Studio 8 - HELP!

Right,
So i've upgraded to MAC OS X Lion to find out that Logic Studio 8 no longer works, so I tried to downlaod Logic Studio 9 but no serial would work.
So I found online that a guy figured out how to open Logic Pro 8 with OS X Lion from going through some way of doing it so I uninstaled Logic 9 and have just tried to instal Logic Studio 8 again, only to find that the new operatin system doesn't even let me launch the installer anymore.
I now have two options. To buy Logic Studio 9, or try and figure away around it.
My friend has all Logic Studio 8 on his mac, is it possible that if I found out all the different files that Logic Pro 8 needs to function and copied them off his macbook onto mine into the correct places that Logic 8 would work??
Please help with this, really desparate to get this back up and running as I use Logic live in my band and have a gig this saturday!
Thanks.

it was a long shot to get it, just think it's a joke to ask people to spend another £166 on Logic 9 just because that operating system doesnt support it, it should support all versions but hey, it's another way of making money.
i have been looking but haven't found an answer as yet, very frustrating.
another way i've found is to just reboot my mac bac to snow leapord factory settings, but i don't have the discs for snow leapord.

I recently moved all my logic audio sessions to a back up hard disk. Also updated to Loin OSX. My Stylus RMX is not working. I get a message Missing Element on Part 1...Currently not installed on their computer or has been moved to a different folder. Any help out there?

Hi
Sounds like you may have moved the RMX library folder?
Is RMX fully updated (for Lion)?
Check your hard drives for a file called SAGE:
It (or an alias of it) is normally found in the <USER>:Library:Application Support:Spectrasonics.
Note that on Lion, the <User> Library is 'hidden'... quickest way to get there is to hold down Option (Alt) whilst using the Finder:Go menu

Moving Logic Studio 9 to an external drive

My internal HDD is almost full and I need to move some of my data to an external drive before it fills up completely.
Logic Studio and all the samples, loops etc strike me as a good candidate but I wish I had thought about this before I installed it. Generally Mac apps are very easy to uninstall but Logic is so vast that dragging the app to the Trash is not going to recover the 50GB of disk space.
I presume the easiest way to do this would be to uninstall Logic Studio, the Jam Packs, Audio Content etc and then reinstall choosing the external HDD as the target. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do this - can anyone help me or point me in the direction of some instructions please?
Thanks in advance.

Just drag your Jam Packs and Apple Loops to an external drive. After doing so reindex the Library by dragging the folders from your external into the Library tab. Then delete the originals from your system drive.

Hi. Deeeep trouble here. I get overload (only 1 core working, it should manage easyly though anyway) with only 1 audio instrument playing. No other things in arrange. iMac i7 2.8, 8gb. Newest Logic Studio. Plz help, guys.

Right people, I really hope you can help... here's the story:
I produce with a friend and approx 4 months ago we both upgraded to brand new MacBook Pro's each and Logic Pro 9 each.
I bought a 13" MacBook Pro with 4GB and the 2.53Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
He bought a 15" MacBook Pro with 4GB and the 2.66Ghz Intel Core i7 processor.
We both have bought the full version of Logic Pro 9, both done the upgrade to 9.1 and have both set our copies of Logic to 64 bit.
Why? The only advantage you have from 64 bit is that Logic can use more than 4 GB RAM - which neither of you have. I would strongly recommend setting Logic to 32 bit. On both Books. It might alleviate some or even all the problems - I hope.
Here's a list of unavailable features in 64 bit mode:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3171
My friends copy of Logic on his Mac is so buggy its sometimes unusable.
My mate is about to throw the **** thing out of the window and buy Cubase!
More often than not it is hard to install new software on computers that have been thrown about.
Can anyone shed any light please??
I think 32 bit is your answer. However, the mobile i7 processor does at least have one issue with Logic:

Help!!! The best audio interface for Logic Studio

Hey y'all,
I'm looking for an audio interface. Requirements are: microphone- (XLR), instrument- (1/4") and midi-connectors. I'd like to record everything 1 by 1 all by myself, without audio playback/slowing-down issues. I'm quite new with recording and have no idea which one suits my system and software the best. I want to record as easy as possible and with the most beautiful results available. Price range of up to €500.
My MacBook Pro:
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Geheugen 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
My software: Logic Studio
Thanks!

If Midi connectivity is important: Focusrite Saffire 6 (USB). Check out the User Guide:
http://www.focusrite.com/downloads/saffire_6_usb/
Otherwise, I would strongly recommend Mackie's Onyx Blackjack, especially when also out gigging. Check out the product page and you can also download an Owner's Manual:
http://www.mackie.com/products/onyxblackjack/
I use the Mackie . User Guides/Manuals are a great way of checking out detail about a product when deciding what to buy.
I thought that Sennheiser were well known for headphones, not microphones.

Different Audio Outputs Logic Studio 8

Hello. I was wondering if apple was able to do this, because that would save a lot of plugging and unplugging of cables and such. Is it possible to select different audio outputs for different programs that you are using on the imac? I run logic studio 8 with a m-audio firewire 410 external soundcard with a couple of monitor speakers. I also have a set of z-5500 connected to my imac via the digital output cable. Is there a way where when i use logic studio 8, the firewire soundcard is used. and for all other purposes, such as watching a movie or listening to music, the digital output is used? Is there a program that can control this? if this is possible. it would help me out A LOT! THANKS

Hello ecstasurf
That's a great question?
Go to: "Applications / Utilities" and open "Audio MIDI Setup" from there you maybe able to switch between the FireWire and the Digital/Analog outputs. I can't give you much more help with that, I don't have an audio FireWire setup so you'll have to play around with the Audio Output Source there.
Note: If you like, you can drag a copy of the Audio MIDI Setup to your dock for quick and easy access.

Converting a logic audio gold file to a Logic studio file

I have a very small (299kb) LAG file that I created in 2000. I can't open it in Logic Studio and don't have any earlier Logic software. Can anyone give me a hand and convert it to a Logic studio file. It's small enough to email back and forth. I just need the MIDI data and don't want to recreate the whole song.
Thanks in Advance!!!

Bonjour Seeren,
Thanks for joining the conversation.
I knew about your workaround, unfortunately it's not a good solution, as what I want is jus that LX behaves as expected.
But... thanks anyway because I could solve my problem !!!
In fact, first I've now realized two main things :
     1) in the LP9 project, if I display both the track name and the channel strip name in the arrange window, I can see that the channel strip name is what I will have in the Mixer once in LX, and the track name is what I will have in Track window of LX. So I could be sure that the problem came from "before" opening in LX.
     2) in L9 and also in LX, when you start from a project from scratch and rename a track, Logic assign the new name to the CHANNEL NAME, not to the TRACK NAME, and I was not aware of that at all !
So I found a way to make things work :
     - in the arrange window in L9, I've displayed both the Channel Name and the Track Name. For each track, I've cut the Track name and pasted it into the Channel name. That was pretty fast as they were just next to each other.
     - I saved and opened in LX.
Hallelujah ! it works, and the sync remains (if I decide to change the track name, the nam in the mixer follows !)
So, basically, I have no idea why in my L9 projects, I ended up having the name being changed sometimes in the tracks names and sometimes in the channel channel name, but now I could sort it out for LX.
Additonnaly, I've realized that if I create a L9 project from scratch, then import one of my L9 song file in it (all tracks, contents, E/S, ... everything), and then do that renaming just as mentioned above, Logic would re-assign all audio channel from Nr1.
So, thank you very much, and thanks to The Art of Sound too !
I hope this topic will help some other people !!
Goooood evening !

Logic Studio, MacBook pro, M-Audio ProFire 610, M-Audio Axiom 61

I'm just about to get the above: Logic Studio, MacBook Pro, M-Audio ProFire 610 and the M-Audio Aziom 61, and want to know if any of the above (Logic Studio and MacBook Pro excluded) are a big mistake. I've been using an Aluminium Powerbook 17" 1.33MHz, and M-Audio MobilePre USB, and an Edirol controller, with guitar rig (and Controller), and Logic Express 7.
I need a set-up that will work as well in the studio, as it does on stage. We tend to plug everything in to the powerbook at the moment, and use Reason to power the synths, guitar rig for the guitars and bass, and logic express plugins for vocals etc.
Anyone have any experience with any of the above?
Cheers,
Adam

Hi Zuelito,
Please read my first paragraph again:
"I gotta RESPECTFULLY take issue with every point you bring up about M-Audio stuff, Zuelito..."
I'm not sure how you can be "slightly put off by the tenor" of my post given everything I said, with the one possible exception being my line about MOTU making crappy hardware - and that was based on personal experience. And while we're talking about the opinions of others, feel free to peruse the Unicornation board - it's full of MOTU users talking about firewire port failures and other hardware issues - so it appears neither of us is alone in our experiences
Seriously, if I was in some way brash or offensive in the way my post came off, I publicly and sincerely apologize. I really try to think about what I say (and how I say it) when posting on the 'net, for this very reason. I thought I simply stated my experience in an informative manner; again, please re-read my post - I hope it comes across as intended.
For what it's worth, I will say (even more clearly) that I've always loved MOTU products in terms of feature set; maybe that's why I've owned almost every product they've ever made! However, in my environment, I simply can't risk hardware failures, and their stuff has let me down too many times to keep rolling the dice. I will also divulge that one of their top tech support guys has acknowledged the firewire port problem. That's a shame, because they do make great stuff, conceptually. I really wish I could take a chance on that new 896mk3, but it ain't gonna happen for me; 6 dead firewire ports is enough of a failure rate for me to give up on them. To be fair, this probably isn't an issue for fixed installations, but I have to make these connections daily while on tour.
Also, I did NOT categorically state that "M-Audio stuff is better than MOTU." Again, if you re-read my post, it should be obvious that all I'm saying is I have a newfound respect for M-Audio, as of the new ProFire series. I also said in my first paragraph that I shared your opinion of M-Audio for a long time!
If this were all about M-Audio's 410 vs. MOTU's Ultralite (or other competition), we probably wouldn't even be having this discussion as I would have agreed with you - but the original poster specifically asked about the newer 610 with Logic, which is what I'm using on one of my rigs. I simply offered my personal experience.
As for drivers, I've not had any problems with M-Audio or their level of support. Just the opposite - they really seem to be on the ball and are way more communicative than other mfrs. I don't know of any other mfr. that supports each OS subrelease in detail like they do, and their development speed seems as fast (if not faster) than anyone else.
Finally, until now I've only owned a few M-Audio pieces (410, 1814), but I can state that they've been flawless. Their audio quality was not 'high end' by any stretch, but I only used them for utility purposes (writing rigs on the road, etc.). Like I said, my main studio stuff has been RME or Apogee for years, and that's the quality level I'm used to - which is why the 610 really surprised me. I also have several friends who do a LOT of touring, many of which rely on M-Audio hardware (mostly 410s). One guy's unit doesn't even have any paint left on it from road abuse - but it still works like a champ after 4 years.
So anyway, this is all just my experience. Hope it doesn't come across as anything but that
Peace,
Jim
