Mute and Solo problems on Logic Express

I have logic express8.0.2. I use the multi-track stereo production template a lot, working with audio files. For as long as I have had it, I have noticed that the solo and mute features do not work - they make a track quieter but they do not entirely mute it. Up to now, I've been able to live with it but becoming a nuisance now - any ideas how to fix it. I use the same software on another computer at work and it seems to work perfectly.
thanks

Try muting the Headphone track. I just tried it and without the Headphone track muted, you are right, soloing or Muting individual tracks doesn't work as expected. Apparently, all the tracks are bussed to the Headphone track, so that must be what is causing the problem. Weird, hu?

Where can I find good organ and keyboard sounds for Logic Express?

Where can I find good organ and keyboard sounds for Logic Express? The included sounds seem to be lacking or hard to access.

Update: Not terribly impressed with the interface for NI's Vintage Organs from the demo download, although the sound demos sure sound good. The letters are tiny and hard to read and the whole thing feels very PC-centric. I guess a guy gets spoiled by the intuitive stuff. I think what I'll try for now is just hooking up my keyboard (Korg N1, circa 1998, about 1700 built in sounds) as a sound module and record the waveforms when I find a sound I like. I did find the EXS24 and several other software synths with some cool organ sounds after digging a little deeper. It would be good if Apple came out with another jam pack just for organs and keys, as the existing jam packs are so easy to use.

Logic Pro X automatically mutes and solo tracks in any session. How do I fix this error?

When using Logic Pro X, I am encountering a mute/solo error. Any session or new session I open tracks will automatically mute or solo on their own. I really need assistance with this error.
Thanks in advance,
JussDaFacts

Shut down your Mac... Unplug any external midi keyboards and/or controllers... and then restart your Mac
Now test with Logic Pro and a new project and see if this behavior continues.. If not you know what the cause is... and you will need to check the settings for your external devices..
You may need to delete Logic's CS prefs and re-add your external devices once more if you cannot solve the issue with your midi devices on the devices themselves...
Quit Logic Pro
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
Restart the computer.
Note: If you cannot find this file you did not follow the steps exactly as described!
Failing that, power down (not just put to sleep) any iOS devices you have and test with a new project in LPX again. If that resolves the issue then you have/had one or more midi/controller/remote apps running in the background of your iOS device.. Make sure you quit the apps, not just close them when you are finished using them....

Downloaded Mountain Lion and can't open Logic Express,How do you fix?

Wouldn't let me open 9.1.7 upgrade before because I didn't have Mountain Lion, and now I can't open Logic 9.0.0 to put the upgrade on.

Check this site:

Shows some problems with Logic Pro 9 in ML (Logic express appears fine).
Just a wild guess: Is the installer of your version a PowerPC App? I have Final Cut Express - it is universal, but the installer is PPC and I can't use it to install. As a workaround, I have a working Snow Leopard partition and copied every file from there onto the same location on ML - it works fine. That assumes you know where all the files are located.

Problems Using Logic Express with Alesis Multimix 8

Hi,
Does anybody have any experience of using the Alesis Multimix 8 USB with Logic Express 7.0.1? As far as I can tell the software is set up OK. The problem is that there is an awful amount of noise present on both the input and the output (sounds like inordinatley loud dither). The problem is also present on Garageband and iTunes but not with Cubase LE (bundled in with the Multimix).
I have searched and searched the internet for drivers for the Multimix but with no luck. At the moment I am just using the "core audio" USB codec drivers that are built in as I seem to have no other option.
Does anybody have any suggestions before I go ahead and buy another external audio interface? (got my eye on the new Behringer F-CONTROL AUDIO FCA202)

PS I am running OS X (10.3.9) on a G4 iBook (1.33 GHz, 1.25 GB RAM) and have done all the updates available for Logic Express 7.0(.1)
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

OK I understand it's helpful to others to post solutions should you find them so here goes:
It would seem that the problem is with the built in CODEC used by OS X. You can update using the drivers available at http://www.usb-codec.com
I used the demo version to see if it solved the problem which it did. However you need to buy the software to get rid of the annoying beep every 30 secs on the demo version. well worth it to get my hardware working properly though.

Solo instruments in Logic Express (strings, horns)

Hello,
I have imported an audio track (mixdown of bass, drums, piano) into Logic Express. I would now like to make a string quartet arrangement over the track: solo violin, viola, cello. (Same for trumpet, trombone, saxes.) One track for each instrument. I can't find workable solo instruments in Logic.
I will be recording the actual parts with real instruments and don't need high-quality samples, so Garritan is probably way more than I need. This is strictly for arranging. As I understand, the available Jam Packs do not include solo strings.
Are there basic MIDI files on a Mac that could be used for this? Or some kind of plug-in? Alternatively, I do have Finale (2004 version, but I can upgrade). Will Finale parts work somehow with Logic Express?
Thanks.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply to my question about solo instrument MIDI tracks in Logic. Pop Strings in the EXS24 is what I have been using, and while there is a solo cello there, I don't see any solo violin options, pizz or arco. There's definitely no viola option. My workaround for now is to have four solo cello tracks, with the top two cello tracks serving as violin parts, the third as viola, and the fourth as cello. Seems kind of silly, but at least they are solo instrument tracks. The ensemble samples are useless for writing parts for actual instruments.
I'll try exporting a Finale arrangement as MIDI files, importing those into Logic Express, and see if that's better.

How to set output 1 and 2 and master in pro logic express when mixing

what is the recommended procedure for setting the levels of output 1 and 2 fader and the master fain pro logic express when mixing? I'm used to just one master fader with my Mackie board. Is there anything in the manual?

Already found the answer myself.
The entries have to be made in the sun-j2ee-ri.xml file.

External keyboard only now and then work in Logic Express. Why?

I use a Roland JX 305 Synthgroove as keyboard with Logic Express. If I want to use it as Audio instrument, -using the sounds that are in Logic available - It only works now and then. I can play the keyboard, but after i changed a setting or switched shortly to another track, I have to start up Logic again, before I can get any music out of the keyboard. How come?

Problem with Logic Express file in Pro

I opened a Logic Express 6 project in Logic Pro 7, and found that some of the Audio Objects won't play.
All of the Audio Object tracks appear in Arrange window (and the Environment), but tracks higher than number 8 (9-32) are inaccessible.
The only things that appear in the channel strips for the unplayable tracks are the track name, group assignment (off), and "read." When I tried to assign the track in the Audio Object Parameter box, I found that tracks 9-32 are grayed out and not available for channel assignment.
How do I make the grayed-out tracks available for assignment?
Thanks,
Weldon

You're welcome. I personally set mine high-but the higher you set it themore resources logic needs. I just set mine to 128 which is fine for me and how I like to work. Cheers

Notation Problems with Logic Express 8

Hello there,
I´m a new member here and have a question about a notation problem with Express 8.
When I´m trying to double measure bars (is this correct? In german we call them "Doppelstriche". They are to divide one part from another... hope anyone understands this), they disappear. I don´t know why, but it happens after about a minute after writing them into the Complete Set... it never happened in Logic 7, it´s a new problem for me...
I thought that perhaps I pushed a wrong button by accident, but even when I did it correctly, securing everything, locking screensets, it disappeared...
hope anybody does know anything about this,
Alex

We just call them 'double lines' although a double 'bar' line is the thick/thin pair that ends a piece.
I did a simple test myself, just ran some notes in the Piano roll and got some 'score' to edit and dragged and dropped the double lines in place, no problems. I closed, opened, resaved, and played the 'piece' for a few minutes on loop, nothing went wrong.
Perhaps I am missing something but i don't seem to be able to see them dissappearing.

Tcode BDLS and BDLSS problem with logical system names

Hello!
I have following problem.
During the SAP ECC 6.0 installation we have forgotten to give the clients the logical names.
Now, during the customizing it is necessary to have all the tables with logical names, so I have given for all the systems a logical name.
Now I have problem to convert all the tables that were customized without logical to such with one.
<b>Is there some (semi)-automatical mechanism to do this or should I go to the SE16 and do it there?</b>
Thank you very much indeed

Hi,
You need to do it from SE16 or SM30

Problems launching Logic Express 7.2.2

I recently purchased and installed the Logic 7.2 Crossgrade. I used Software Update to upgrade to 7.2.2. Now when I launch Logic it crashes. This is from my userid which is setup as an admin.
If I launch Logic 7.2.2 from the 'root' account, it launches. Any ideas on what is wrong? I ran Repair Permissions and that did not help. I'm sure it has to do with file permission but where would I look to determine what files aren't readable by my own account.
Thanks in advance for any help!

You can launch it, just the first launch has to be
done from an Admin account.
Actually I can't from an admin account. Here's what I get (brief exerpt from crash dump):
Version: 7.2.3 (961.9)
Build Version: 14
Project Name: Logic
Source Version: 9610900
PID: 258
Thread: 0
Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000
I wrote a script to list the permissions of all files listed at the bottom of the crash output and they are set to one of the following:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root admin
... which I can read. What I don't know is if the any of the files listed in the crash is the actual one causing the (permissions) problem. The account I'm running from shows the following output from groups:
$ groups
<userid> shared appserveradm appserverusr admin
I'm open to other suggestions.

Little problem in Logic Express 9

Hello all,
I'm having a little problem there..
I bought recently an akai LPD8 controller, i set it up in controller assignment and it works fine.
Now, if i quit Logic, and re-open it, the controller assignment still there. great.
If logic crash or quit for some reason, the assignment are deleted, and this is normal.
The problem starts here, i read that the preferneces file of logic : com.apple.logic.cs and .plist should be present in : myHD/library/prefernces/
There i find all my .cs and .plist file, but not the logic one!
The strange fact is that logic actually save my prefernces, like controller assignment, or arrange window color and go on..
I need to know were to find the controller assigments save file for keep a copy in my mac, for when logic crash, and not reassign everything to the controller.
Thanks a lot,
Ales

You are looking in the wrong "Library".
Logic preferences are saved in the <User> Library:
My HD:Users:YOU:Library:Preferences
Note that the User Library is hidden by default in Lion and M Lion. One easy way to get there is to use the Finder:Go menu whilst holding down Option (the User Library will appear in the menu).

WDK 8.1 update download issue and integration problem with VS Express 2013

I have VS Express 2013 in my machine and want to download the WDK 8.1 Update. However, I am facing two issues:
1. The download site says : "You have to register for downloading. Click on continue to register and download". On doing so it asks for what I want to download. Then it redirects to the page saying "Thank You for downloading". However,
it has been more than 10 times since yesterday and yet no file has popped up for download. It is the same problem with other machines.
2. On installing WDK 8.1 from softonic, it has created a separate folder and shows no way for its integration with VS express 2013. I do not get any "Windows driver functionalities" in VS Express 2013.
Could somebody point me where I am wrong.
