New iMac with Logic Express 9

I got a new machine and installed express 9. I had previously used 7 on my old machine.
I am now missing a lot of my Garageband and Logic midi plugins.
Anyone know how I can get them to use with 9?

Hi Helen,
during the install procedure of Logic 9, did you select to install the "Legacy" content?
If this doesn't solve the issue, which plugins do you miss, for instance?
Cheers,
Fox

  • Connecting Interface and recoding with Logic Express 9

    Hi apologies if I've posted this in the wrong location. I need some help.
    I have just bought an iMac (with Logic express 9) along with a focusrite saffire pro 14 sound interface.
    i'm having difficulties getting a line in and out of the focusrite and into logic.
    I currently have passive monitors plugged into an amp, which is then plugged into the headphone jack on the iMac, the focusrite is connected via firewire.
    my mic is connected via xlr with phantom power into the focusrite, and my guitar (via an effect unit with built in pre-amp) is connected into the 1/4'' input. both signals are showing levels on the focusrite mixer software - but no sound. the only output from the sound interface is the firewire.
    I can record, and play back in logic using my usb midi controller- USB direct into the iMac.
    i've selected the focusrite as the driver in logic, also as the input device in system preferences on the iMac.
    any ideas when I am doing wrong?
    any help would be good
    thanks
    Chris

    Hi,
    there are some points where the big bear trap might have snapped onto your feet
    First: You said you have selected the focusrite as the core audio input device in Logic. This is okay. But have you selected the correct inputs for the audio tracks you are recording to? You focusrite has 4 possible line inputs (1 and 2 are combined on the front in the middle of the XLR jacks, which are also inputs 1 and 2 for mics, and 3 and 4 are on the back).
    When you connect a headphone to your focusrite, can you hear your mic or your guitar? (turn up the monitor volume as well as the headphones volume!)
    Given you really have a good signal that goes into your focusrite, the same signal should be available in Logic *for the appropriate inputs* . It won't work if you have plugged your guitar into input 3 and have input 1 or 2 selected in the channelstrip's input selector tab.
    Second: Given there's a signal coming into Logic, where does it go from there? The focusrite has 4 outputs, and you should connect your amp&speakers to them. If your amp&speakers are still connected to your iMac's headphone jack, you must select your Mac's "built in output" as the output device in Logic. The OS X preference pane has nothing to do with Logic's preferences. Don't confuse them.

  • HT3423 My iMac came with logic Express 8 installed, how do I get it to work on my mac book pro

    My iMac came with Logic Express 8 Pre installed. How do I get it to work on my Mac Book Pro

    Along with your OS and applications installation DVDs, you should have gotten an LE8 installation DVD along with its manual and serial numbers when you bought your iMac. 
    Your license allows you to install LE8 on two computers as long as they are your computers, you are the sole user, and you do not run Logic on both simultaneously. So dig out your installation DVD, install it on your MacBook Pro and enter your serial number and you will be good to go.

  • I've just bought a new iMac with 2 TB hard drive. Can I partition the startup drive?

    I've just bought a new iMac with 2 TB hard drive. Can I partition the startup drive?

    Glenfern wrote:
    The reason I'm considering partitioning is - I'm going to transfer about 50 GB of family photos & music to the iMac. Over time the photos & music library is going to grow. My idea was to point the iphoto & itunes library to the new partition so that the application programs (that will will reside in partition 1), will not get congested with photos & music over time & degrade performance. Also, I dabble a little bit with the music editing program LOGIC & Sound Track Pro, which creates lots of little music files in the process.
    In your case I would strongly recommend against partitioning, as dwb mentions a drive loaded with data on an
    O SX system doesn't equate to  performance loss. However partitioning does. If you were going to tell me you were partitioning to load different OS's on the computer then you would have a good reason to think about partitioning. My suggestion is do not partition.
    What I would also recommend is getting some high quality high speed external HD's to store your photo and music libraries on. This helps keept the 2GB drive available while maintaining performance. I have 3 external HD's attached to my iMac, two are backup drives (1 Time Machine & 1 Bootable Clone) the third drive is for storing my my music, photo & movie libraries on. If you go this route the 3 drives I'd recommend are:
    http://g-technology.com/products/g-drive.cfm
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
    http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?id=10330
    Personally I use the Lacie's however OWC or G-Tech would also be welcome on my desk.
    Again if you want to take this path Apple has instructions for how to move the libraries to EHDs, if you want those links let me know.

  • Syncing Fast Track Ultra (Slave) With Logic Express (Master)

    I'm trying to get my fast track to slave with Logic Express, using Logic as the master. It doesn't appear to be sending out any messages. On my fast track I can get the midi 'in' light to blink but not the 'out.' in Logic, the transport bar on the bottom, says 'no midi' for both the in and the out. Does this sound like a Logic setup issue or a fast track ultra setup issue?

    Hi,
    1st: You need to set your drum machine clock to external. That's important if you want to make Logic the master. Be aware any clock signal only is available when Logic is in play mode (naturally, but sometimes i forget even the most logical things).
    2nd: In the Audio-Midi-Setup, the Fast Track should be displayed. Open the MIDI window (Window-> show MIDI window). Click on the "add device" icon. A new device will be added (new external device). Now open the inspector for this new device. You can name it, adjust all these things like MIDI clock send/receive and other gizmos and give it a nice icon. Now you must "connect" this new device with you Fast track by simpy dragging a line from it's outputs to the Fast track input and vice versa. The MIDI setup window will now represent your hardware's cabeling.
    Once you have done this correctly, you should be able to correctly select the Drum machine in Logic.

  • I have a new imac with imovie 11 however my hd everio camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9 how do i download imovie 9? all i can find are updates and my mac says i don't need it

    i have a new imac with imovie 11 however my everio hd camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9. i tried to download imovie 9 but my mac says i don't need the update. How can i download imovie 8 or 9 complete not the update?

    I really appreciate all your help. Today I spent some time on the problem. First I purchased  any video converter from the ap store and then I connected the camera to the mac with the original usb cable that came with the camera. I turned on the camera and selected backup on pc and the logo came up on my home page. I opened it and after several attempts i found the 3 video files that were on the camera. I then converted them from a tod file to mp4 and then transfered  them to imovie. Now I have to figure out how to send the video to youtube or move it to an external hard drive which I have not been able to do. So far I am not too fond of imovie 11. If you could send me  the download for imovie 6 I then could try that route. When talking to apple support yesterday about the problem they suggested to get Final Cut Express. It's 200 bucks so before i order the install disc i would like to try your suggestion. My email address is [email protected] Again I thank you very much for your help! George

    What version of Logic do you have?
    And if you end up upgrading, it's only $199 now.

  • Worrying about iMac with Logic Pro. (i mean big fan noise)

    hi.
    i am thinking about buying a new iMac with Apogee Ensemble. but i am a bit worried about the fan noise from imac when i use lots of plug-ins and etc.
    well... the best way is to buy a Mac Pro and stash the machine in a machine room or a cabinet or something. but the budget is low here.
    does anyone have any good ideas? do i have to take the fan noises? or is it really so powerful so that makes no such big fan noises?
    thanks

    I have no doubt that you and I haven't been reading the same posts, but I was under the impression that most people were much more infuriated that there was no announcement or run up to the launch (and thus they bought L9 just before).
    Actually, we have been reading the same posts! Apple, historically, have never (and I do mean NEVER) pre-announce releases of Logic Pro. They are always announced on release day, even going back to before the Mac App Store, when boxed versions were still available. Apple do have quite a generous refund policy, so I suggest that anyone who feels cheated could always 'report an issue' via the link in the receipt email and try and obtain a refund. Personally, I would never buy a current version of Logic Pro until July was over, but as I've been using it for over 11 years now (before Apple bought Emagic), I guess I'm very familiar with the release times.
    So why not keep support for EXSManager/Keymap, or at least a download link for paying customers. There is no other program that can do what it did unless you want to go back to an old version of Logic and utilise functionality that they removed yet is still relevant today.
    Redmatica wouldn't have been allowed (under the terms and conditions of the buyout), to keep making the EXSManager, it would have been illegal as it's now an Apple product. That's like saying why didn't Emagic keep making a version of Logic for the PC after Apple bought them, because they obviously weren't allowed under the terms and conditions because it became an Apple product. While I can understand your frustration, you also have to understand the legalities that take place during takeovers and buyouts, as it's really not as simple as it may at first appear.

  • Control surfaces with Logic Express

    hello all
    Im new to MAc , completely new having been PC since the year dot...Having used Cubase since atari days I have a Steinberg Houston Controller surface. Anyone know if it is possible to use it with Logic Express before I spend £150 on the programe please??

    Hi,
    nope, the surface wouldn't work natively on a Mac. You can only use it's MIDI features and remap the controls to functions in Logic. As long as the interface sends MIDI, this will work, but there won't be any access to the special features i guess. Guess why? Steinberg wouldn't want to provide a driver for another DAW than Cubase. Sneaky little ones they are...
    But you can try to sell it through ebay.

  • Can I use MainStage 2 with Logic Express 9.1.6

    Is it possible to use MainStage 2 with Logic Express 9.1.6.?  Are there any limitations to not having Logic Pro 9.  I'm very happy with LE9.1.6. as it meets all my needs (perhaps with the exception of not having Space Designer) but if I need to upgrade to get the most out of MainStage 2 then I will.
    Thanks.

    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....

  • Does mainstage work with logic express 9

    hi ,  do all the features and plug-ins work with logic express 9 or are some features disabled .
    or are they not compatible at all
    thanks

    I have just spoken to two supervisors and 4 underlings about this exact concern and they ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO BUDGE in regard to a sidegrade or smaller upgrade fee. I have been a loyal Mac user, ****, an EVANGELIST since 1990, spent well over 100 grand on the apple products I needed and I tried being super polite, explained that I had barely had a chance to learn a thing about Express since I bought it in the store after realizing that there was no way I could afford the Logic Pro 9 box sitting next to it.
    THE ANSWER IS IF YOU WANT THE NEW, CHEAPER VERSION OF LOGIC PRO 9 AND MAINSTAGE, YOU NEED TO TOSS OUT YOUR ALREADY CANCELLED LOGIC EXPRESS 9 DISKS, FORGET YOU BOUGHT THEM IF YOU CAN, AND, IF YOU WERE DOWNSIZED LIKE I WAS 3 YEARS AGO BECAUSE MY BACK GAVE OUT...
    GO AHEAD. SEE IF YOU CAN KEEP YOURSELF FROM THROWING UP WHEN YOU HIT THAT PURCHASE BUTTON ON THE TWO PROGRAMS THEY REDUCED IN PRICE.
    REMEMBER, THOUGH...IT IS NOT LOGIC STUDIO YOU ARE GETTING. THEY SPLIT THE BOX UP SO THE REMAINDER OF THE SOFTWARE IN IT WENT INTO FINAL CUT PRO. THE ORIGINAL BOX YOU CAN STILL GET FOR $500 UNTIL THEY SELL OUT.
    DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER. THIS IS ONE ANGRY EX-EVANGELIST WHO NO LONGER HAS ANY REVERENCE LEFT FOR APPLE. I GUESS WHEN THEY LOST STEVE, THEY LOST TOO MUCH. SOMETHING IS VERY, VERY WRONG ABOUT THIS POLICY. SCREW THE PEOPLE WHO SPENT THE WHOLE AMOUNT, NOBODY AT APPLE REALLY CARES ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT WHAT IS LEFT IN YOUR WALLET.
    SORRY FOR THE RANT, BUT I AM IN SHOCK AFTER THE LAST TWO HOURS OF TRYING TO GET THEM TO SEE HOW WRONG THIS POLICY IS.
    WE HAVE BEEN SHAFTED, BIG TIME. IN THIS ECONOMY, THAT IS ONE HUGE INSULT IMHO.
    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.

  • How can I midi Roland TD-9 KX2 with Logic EXpress 9?

    Hello everyone,
    Here is my setup:
    I have the Roland TD-9 KX2 connected to M-Audio MIDI In & Out and Audio 1/4" In & Out, Then connected to Logic 9 thru USB on my MacBook Pro.
    I create a new track and select Audio and then I create another track and this time I choose External.
    When I hit record, the audio track shows waveform recorded but the External/MIDI does not.
    Note: When I'm recording, I can see the MIDI notes (look like little blocks), but when I stop recording, They disappear...
    Can someone please tell me how I can execute this or of if anyone has a tutorial that they can share link of it.
    Thanks in advance,

    I had a simular problem. Only I had Ver 9 and needed 9.1.4 to be compatable with Lion. I had installed Lion and didn't think I would have any problem with Apple apps. Not the case with Logic Express. Here is what I did.
    First: I removed all versions that were previously installed on my Mac Pro. Then using the latest (9.0) I reinstalled. Important. DO NOT TRY TO OPEN APP. Next: down load (free) version 9.1.4 and install. Once everything is closed and disks are removed. Start Logic Express 9.1.4 and guess what...if just works.
    I believe some of the residual files were residing in my library some place and I didn't see them. Before I reinstalled I was recieving the message that I didn't have a qualifing version of Logic Express. This is when I had two versions 9.0.0 and 9.0.1. Someone said to remove the older version, I didn and nothing.
    Do what I say above and you will be rewarded.
    Good Luck

  • How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

    How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

    Do you own a copy of Aperture, perhaps bought for another Mac?
    If you have not bought Aperture, you need to buy it from the AppStore.
    But if you own Aperture and have it bought from the AppStore on another Mac, sign into theAppStore on your new iMac with the same AppleID you used to buy Aperure on your other Mac.  Then look at the "Purchased" tab of he AppStore. It show Aperture, with the "Install" button to the right. Simply press the "Install" button and download it to your new iMac.  Or if you have bought Aperture on a CD/DVD, run the installer from the CD/DVD on your new mac and immediately run software update to upgrade the Aperture 3. version to version that will run with Mavericks.
