Need Help!! recording Korg MS2000 in Logic express 8.

So I've been trying to record sounds from my korg ms2k in logic express 8 but I can't seem to access any of the sounds. My connections are solid because I tested them in macs audio MIDI setup, plus I'm able to use the ms2k to control the software instruments which came with logic. I created an environment based on tutorials I could find online, connected my MIDI port found in the physical input to the sequencer input & armed the track but nothing happens. I also performed a data dump on my korg and downloaded a patch librarian but I'm not really sure how to access it within logic. I'm kinda new to all this and it's highly probable that I'm missing some steps or doing something wrong. If any one can give me a hand with this I truly would appreciate it. Thanks.

I see ... well since you can record using the internal virtual instruments your midi data is going to Logic so it HAS to be something in the settings. Wish I could be more specific but I personally haven't used that function. If you don't get an answer here try this forum.

They are VERY "business like" and not much on pleasant small talk BUT they know what they're talking about and can probably tell you exactly what you need to do.
Good luck.

Need help connecting korg to logic pro 7

I know the program is old, but I still use it. I forgot how to set korg triton to logic program. It's wired correctly, but for some reason I can't get sounds from my korg onto my logic. It's been long time..and I don't remember. Someone messed with my logic..so any help?

here are a few vids that show how to use external midi in logic. this should get you going. if you have a specific question come on back and ask

How to record V-Drums in Logic Express?

I’m trying to record my V-Drums through the M-Audio 2626 interface into Logic Express. I’m able to trigger sounds in the Logic Express library when I conned the MIDI-out on the V-drums to the M-Audio.
But I’d like to record the Roland drum sounds through Logic. Has anyone had success with this?
I tried connecting the audio out from the V-drums into channel 1 on the M-Audio with a 1/4-inch instrument cable. I can hear the drum kit through the M-Audio via the headphone jack, but not through Logic Express.
If anyone has successfully recorded Roland V-drums in Logic, any information would be helpful.
Many thanks,

Hi,
you're on the right way. You have to create an audio track in Logic (one for each output of the drums or simply a stereo track for the drum's stereo output - depending on your configuration).
1. Select the appropriate channel of your M-Audio as the audio track's input
2. Click the little red "R" to arm this track for recording or press the littel "I" to activate input monitoring for rehearsal.
3. Start recording and there you are.
4. Don't forget: Have fun!

Need help recording live drums on seperate tracks.

I used to be a professional recording engineer, and as such took pride in knowing my way around a console. But with GB I am stumped.
I need to record a live drummer, and subsequently place each drum on a seperate "track" as when recording analog.
Being totally new to hard disc recording, means learning all over again. Drums are set & miced, what do I need to make this happen (or is it even possible in GB)?
Watched the seminar for Logic, and sure enough there was a drum kit properly recorded on individual tracks, but they gave no detailed explination of how that was done.
Thanks for all help. I'm retired now, and looking for something to fill my time.

Basically you select the channels for each track in
the DAW. In this case GB.
At the bottom of the 'track info' window on your real
instrument (mic) tracks use the 'input' pulldown menu
to assign channels for each mic for each track you
wish to record on.
In case you are not familiar enough with GB.
If the track info window is not open. You can open it
by double clicking on the track, or under 'Track'
menu use: Show Track Info.
Or keystroke: 'Command I'.
The available channels will be available and show in
the input pulldown menu.
So basically you will want an interface with the
right I/0.
Depending on what you may have been used to in the
past for analog quality.
You may wish to take some time to research what's
available for the right amount of I/O with good pre's
and conversion. There is definitely a line of
demarcation in the quality of analog circuits and
digital converters and clock.
It may or may not matter to you, I don't know but
judging from your past and post maybe worth a
mention. However, I don't know to what standards you
wish to work in.
Standards such as Alan Parsons, Geoff Emerick, and Jeff Lynne.
Also if you want to use outboard analog while
tracking with an interface you may want to have
insert I/O available.
And of course if you are wanting to use bussing
sends, complete editing, etc. within your DAW you
will want start looking at other DAW's like Logic or
PT or DP, etc.
Thanks, I want to get started with GB, and have some basic tracks laid & get Logic in a couple of months. Got to have bussing send/recieve for fx on SN, EQing the kit, compression, etc.
If you are not familiar with other forums here are a
couple that may be of interest to you.

Need help Recording G-Force VST's Like MInimonsta and M-Tron

Hello everyone!
Having a great time with logic pro 7 so far,
I need some help recording my G-Force synths.
Do I use the instrument,Rewire, or Audio tracks?
Any basic setup tips would be golden!
Thanks Folks

You should be using the AU versions... any reason not to or was the VST term used as a generic term for softsynth? They are avalable as AU.
You would use an Audio Instrument track and then where you would set the input if it were an audio track... in audio instrument this is a pop up for your softdynths/samplers.
Once you are ready to commit them as audio files then use "export track as audio file".

Need help recording with two linked firepods and an outboard mixer

Hi!
Well I've been using Logic for a couple of years but always stayed "in the box".
Now that I started working out of the box I encountered a strange problem. Let me explain...
Since recently I have an analog Soundcraft Ghost mixer and two firepods. I linked the two firepods (aggregate device) and recorded 16 tracks into Logic. I sent these back to the mixer through the outputs of my firepods (I used the I/O plugin on each track to get a mono output).
I made the whole mix on the mixer and now I want to record that mix back into logic (in order to have a Stereo mix ready for mastering).
I thought all I had to do was create a new stereo audio track in Logic (choose input i.e. 1-2), connect the master output from the table to input 1-2 on my firepods, set the gain on the preamps. Arm the track, hit record.
Now the problem I have is that what is recorded sounds reeeaaaally strange. It's like distorted or some kinda feedback. Bit difficult to explain. But it sure doesn't sound right at all...
Does anyone knows what the problem could be?
Could it be that with the firepods you can't use an input if you allready use it's output?
If you need any more info, let me know!
By the way, I'm working on a Macbook Pro 2,4 with osx10.5.6 and Logic Pro 8.0.2
Greetz,
NLS

The problem sounds like you have a feedback loop between the outputs and the input. Here's my suggestion:
1 Turn the Mixer control on the Firepods all the way to the right, to make sure the Input signal is not mixed back in to the outputs
2 Mute the stereo Input channel that you're recording on (in Logic) before you arm the Record button
3 After you have recorded your mix into Logic, disarm the Record button, un-mute and solo the channel, then play back

HI there, need help in thinking of a logic.

Good Day!
I'm having trouble thinking of the logic in this simple (but tediously hard for me) problem.
I've got two internal tables, say table A and table B. I need to output records from table A that do not match records from table B. and vice versa.
The thing is, before I can output them, there are 3 primary keys for each table. let's say, ID, Document, and date. I need to match 3 of them to the other table, and if they don't match I would have to print them out.
What I did was.
Loop at TABLEA.
     Loop at TABLEB.
        IF TABLEA-ID NE TABLEB-ID AND ...
        WRITE TABLEA-ID ...
        ENDIF.
     ENDLOOP.
ENDLOOP.
The problem is, let's say table a has
ID: 0
Doc:1
Date: 1
ID:1:
DOC:1
DATE:1
table b has
ID:1
DOC:1
DATE:1
and so on..
the loop will first compare table a with b and if it doesn't match well.. it prints it out immediately. Maybe the 1st record of table A is in the 20th record of table B. So I get multiple unmatches. So now I'm turning to the experts here, hope you guys can help.
I'm not sure if there was a faster way to do this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

MIDI recording and editing with Logic Express 8

Hello, I am a beginner. In the literature it is stated that I should "make sure that the latest DRIVER version is installed. I suppose that means the driver from the MIDI system manufacturer which in my case is LIMEX, Vienna, Austria. The MIDI system product name is MidiPro 3, not well known in the US.
Limex does not make/offer a driver. In the audio Midi setup window I was able to install this system and it took it. I can perform single track Midi recordings but when I select three tracks for simultaneous multi-track recording using three different instruments, the recording plays back with one and the same instrument on all tracks.
What am I doing wrong?
Could this have something to do with the fact that I don't have a DRIVER from my MIDI instrument supplier, Limex?
Someone told me that since I can get Logic to recognize Limex and can record single MIDI tracks it means that I probably don't need a driver and that I am doing something wrong with the set-up.
PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
please clarify what you want to do. If you record midi data, this has absolutely nothing do to with the sound. Midi is data only, no sound. So, if you have three tracks containing the same midi data, it depends on the instrument (real or software instrument) you are triggering with this data what sound you'll get.
Example: You record to three tracks at once. Now all three tracks have the same midi data.
Now you set one track to the ES1 Synth, the other to a EXS24 sampler and the third to whatever.
Now all three tracks play back the same notes (midi data), but with different sounds (instruments).
If you trigger an external instrument (is the LIMEX an Instrument or just a midi keyboard?), the midi data has to be set to the correct midi channel and maybe you need a program change event to tell the external instrument which sound bank to use. You can create this Event in the Event List.

Need help recording three shows at the same time

I have the FiOS DVR, and have a problem this TV season. There are 3 shows that we watch that are on at the same time. if we are home that night, we can record two on the DVR and watch the other in another room. Not ideal, but we can handle it. But if we are out, we are hosed. I have an old series 1 Tivo that I would think I could factor in here....which I could timer record on a different TV. Any way to do it on my regular TV? Not sure how I could hook up the Tivo with the DVR and the rest of it.
Thanks!

I have a similar setup with a Replay.
You will need to get a Verizon Digital Adapter for $3.99 per Month and an IR Blaster for your Tivo.
Connect the Digital Adapter (DCT-700) to the FIOS Coax (May need to use a Splitter). Connect the Composite Out cables from the DCT-700 to the Tivo. Connect the IR Blaster from the Tivo to the front of the DCT-700. Configure the Tivo and tell it you have FIOS Cable and Digital Adapter. You may need to find the right codes to use to control the FIOS box from the Tivo.
Once you get it configured you will be able to tell the Tivo to record the 3rd program and it will switch the box to the channel and record it. If the box is near your other Verizon STBs you will need to hide it or cover the IR Sensor so that the remote for the main STB does not control the Digital Adapter.
As an added bonus you can connect the Coax Out from the DCT-700 to your Main TV if it has PIP and now you have a 2nd input source to make PIP work.

Need help with new Time Capsule/Airport express setup!

I just hooked up a 500g time capsule to replace an airport extreme, and now my airport utility on my MacbookPro Retina no longer recognizes the airport expresses I had on my network for airplay purposes. Can anyone help with this issue?

Instead of a switch you need a wireless router, because your modem will only assign one public ip address to the switch and that ip address will be forwarded to any one computer at a given time...You should replace the switch with a wireless router and it should resolve your concern...

Need Help Recording From a PC to Final Cut Pro

Ok First forgive me for my inexperience I'm a Audio Engineer trying to help out my company, because our Video Director left. I work for a Video Game Development company and we always have to record in game video for commercials and this is really becoming a pain to me. The game plays on the PC and I have to record it in small HD segments using a program called fraps because none of the 2 Gig or larger AVI files I record can be opened on the Macs, so I have to go through this crazy conversion process to actually get them to the company that makes our TV commercials. I was Wondering if any of you knew if there was a Box that would let me play the game on the PC and then connect that output to the Mac and Record it in HD directly in Final Cut Pro, and then send that Final Cut Pro Project to the Commercial company. Like using the DVI output of the PC's Video card to a box then output to firewire on the Mac or something like this? Again sorry for my lack of experience and the long post just need some help
Thanks

Short answer yes. Longer one is you'll have to look around to find a solution that works for you. There are converters/scalers that will go DVI to video (HDMI) but then you need a capture card for the FCP system. One possible way is two Intensity cards from Blackmagic Design. Put one in each computer and connect them.

I need help recording on my iPad using iRig

I know that the iRig will work for Garage Band but I need to know it it can play back. Like if I were to play the recorded audio back would it come through an amp if I wanted it too. Also, on microphones that plug directly into the headphone jack there is a third ring around the 1/8in jack that is used for sending audio into the device...what is that called?! Do they make a 1/4in to 1/8in cable that has that third ring?
I would really appreciate some help. Thanks.

Nothing. They'll still play if you have flash installed on a PC. But most website developers should be migrating them to the friendlier HTML 5 video container that plays on many more devices across the board including iPhones and iPads and other mobile phones and tablets.
As far as Adobe, they just stopped development of their mobile version of Flash. (i.e for Phones and tablets).
They themselves as a company are not going away, so their other products such as the PDF reader and Media creation suites and yes the desktop version of Flash are still going to be made.

I need help renaming a file using regular expressions in Bridge.

Hi,
I work at a university, and we are working through files for our Thesis and Dissertations. We have been renaming them to make them more consistent. I am just wondering if there is a regular expression that could help with this process?
Here is come examples of current file names;
THESIS 1981 H343G
Thesis 1981 g996e
THESIS-1981-A543G
I don't need to change the actual names of the files. just how they are formatted.
Proper case on Thesis.
Hyphens(-) in all white space.
First letter capital, last letter lowercase on the call no (H343g)
So the list above should look like;
Thesis-1981-H343g
Thesis-1981-G996e
Thesis-1981-A543g
I have seen people do some pretty cool things with regular expressions! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You would be better off using a script to do this as an example as I don't think it would be possible in the Bridge re-name.
Using ExtendScript Toolkit or a Plain text editor copy the code into either and save it out as Filename.jsx
This needs to be saved into the correct folder. this is found by going to the preferences in Bridge, selecting Startup Scripts, this will open the folder where the script is to be saved.
Once this is done close and re-start Bridge.
To Use: Goto the Tools Menu and select Rename PDFs
Make sure you test the code with a few copied files into a seperate folder first to make sure it does what you want.
The script will do all PDF files in the selected folder.
#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
renamePDFs = MenuElement.create("command", "Rename PDFs", "at the end of Tools");
renamePDFs.onSelect = function () {
app.document.deselectAll();
var thumbs = app.document.getSelection("pdf");
for( var z in thumbs){
var Name = decodeURI(thumbs[z].spec.name);
var parts = Name.toLowerCase().replace(/\s/g,'-').match(/(.*)(-)(.*)(-)(.*)(\.pdf)/);
var NewName = parts[1].replace(/^[a-z]/, function(s){ return s.toUpperCase() });
NewName += parts[2]+parts[3]+parts[4]+parts[5].toUpperCase().replace(/[A-Z]$/, function(s){ return s.toLowerCase() });
NewName += parts[6];
thumbs[z].spec.rename(NewName);

I need help recording guitar

I want to use Garageband to record my guitar music. Money is not an issue. I'll buy some gear if I need to. I just don't know where to begin or what to buy. I just want to record from my acoustic electric guitar and maybe lay some rhythm tracks over the top. Mostly just guitar so I can create a archive of my compositions. Put a halfway decent sounding CD together. Any ideas? Where does one begin.

I use a Rode NT2000 condenser Mic and a Beyerdynamic dynamic mic. I also plug the guitar in and record 3 tracks at a time.
Out of curiosity, where do you place each mic and which Beyerdynamic do you use? (oh, and what kind of guitar do you have)?
The Beyerdynamic is a TGX 58 http://asia-pacific.beyerdynamic.com/en/music-performance/products/microphones/v ocals-speech.html?txsbproductdatabase_pi1%5BshowUid%5D%5BshowUID%5D=3&tx_sbproductdatabasepi1%5BshowUid%5D%5BbackPID%5D=49&cHash=e15356a2b4
It was the first mic I got and its probably not the best choice. I have it as a multi purpose mic.
In terms of mic placement I am constantly tweaking. Right now the NT2000 is in front of the sound hole about 1ft-300mm away. The TGX 58 is positioned about half way between the sound hole and the head, slightly closer than the NT. I must admit though its the result of 'monkey see, monkey do.' I got the info from this site http://www.recordacousticguitar.com/ I am currently not happy though with my results. My studio room has to take a large portion of the blame. Its layout and acoustic treatment was not very well thought out, but I am not sure where to begin to correct it. Also, getting to know the mics has been hard. The NT has some adjustments available but I am afraid my 'ear' is still on the steep side of the learning curve. One thing I have noticed is the mics ability to pick up sympathetic string resonance. Its hardly noticeable when listening to the guitar live, but upon playback its maddening. My current project involves recording some of my beginner students compositions. They are single note 1st and 2nd string melodies. I have resorted to shoving a folded piece of card board under strings 3-6 simply to damped the strings. When I just plug the guitar in and record via the bridge pickup, the sympathetic humming is less than what comes from the NT. Once done I then just muck around with all three tracks with fx etc (thats another story).
I use 2 acoustic guitars with bridge pickups. My nylon string guitar is a Greg Bennett C2CE http://www.gregbennettguitars.com/c2ce.html
My steel string is a Yamaha CJ-838S II similar to this one http://www.guitar-museum.com/guitar-231-VINTAGE-YAMAHA-CJ-838S-II-ACOUSTIC-GUITA R . I have had this instrument since new in 1984. I had a pick installed when I had some fret work done and the action reworked in 1993. Its a nice guitar.
Trying to record halfway decent acoustic guitar has not been easy. I am hardly ever pleased. I don't know if I am picky or simply don't know what I am doing. Probably a combo of both. It dosn't help that I have crap monitors as well.
Cheers. G.

Need Help with 5 Port Switch, Airport Express, and wired iMac

I recently purchased an airport express to accomodate my laptop's wireless capabilities. However, the airport express has only one ethernet port, as does my parents' modem. Thus, I could either hook up the airport or my parent's iMac. I chose the airport, which resulted in a few weeks worth of fights. To alleviate the problem, I purchased a linksys 5 port group switch, after someone told me I could use that to hook up both at the same time. Initially, the iMac wouldn't work. It registered what I was told was an invalid IP address. Then a cable technician came by, reset the modem (unplugged the battery), and now the airport does not work; it flashes yellow and says that it cannot detect the ethernet signal.
The iMac is running OSX 10.3 and the laptop OSX 10.4. I am not sure if the modem can only accomodate one IP address or if there is any way to share IP addresses. Do I need to change something with the DHCP on my laptop? Do I need to manually enter an IP? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm completely lost....and without wireless internet.

Instead of a switch you need a wireless router, because your modem will only assign one public ip address to the switch and that ip address will be forwarded to any one computer at a given time...You should replace the switch with a wireless router and it should resolve your concern...
