New to Logic Pro 8 HELP PLEASE!

Hello,
I have just recentley purchased Logic Pro 8 and have been amazed with its endless posabilities. I currentley run a sinmple M-Audio USB interface in to my Macbook. I am looking to take my equiptment to the next level and am wondering if anyone has had experience with and could offer suggestions on what new recording gear to purchase.
I realize that I will need to take things firewire in to my G4. Any suggestions on Interfaces, Mixers, Moniters, Computers, Microphones, and any other software would be a great help to me.
Thanks in advance,
-Mike

Some more expensive suggestions:
*Get ADAM speakers, nearfield or midfield, the best monitors I've used in my life ( I use the S2,5A + subwoofer)
*The RME Fireface 800 is a great Audio Interface with very good preamps
*The U87 microphone by Neumann is a great condensor microphone which you can use for all sorts of tasks
*Not knowing what kind of music you produce/make it's hard to give advice on 3rd Party Plug Ins for sound creation and sound processing, if you're into sampling get Kontakt 3 by Native Instruments, Logic's EXS is sort of very outdated, also NI's Reaktor is a fantastic modular app providing you with all sorts of different synths/processors/sample manglers/delay/reverbs and stuff you've never even heard of, you can also build your own Instruments with Reaktor

New to Logic Pro Need Help

I have had fun fooling around with loops and building songs that way, but I have yet to figure out how to get a guitar input set up. I am using the Apogee interface. I know about setting up the audio in preferences, but after that I am lost. Can anyone give me a hint? It would be most appreciated.

Okay, I have read the manuel stuff. Even taken online tutorials. I am a pretty smart guy, at least that's what others have said. But I just can't figure this out.
Like I said, I am using Apogee hooked up to a fairly new MacBook Pro. I know the hardware is good. I have used the Apogee interface to record onto Garage Band, at least with a microphone. Like I say, I have Apogee set as input in the audio preferences. I arm the track and hit record, the metronome ticks and the track records a blank.

*NYLPUG is brought to you by Mac Audio Trainers.*

I can't say enough good things about Redmatica, and Andrea in particular.
I've found and reported a handful of issues I found in Keymap, and in each case I had the issue confirmed, and a new build sent to me at most within a couple of days, often much sooner, with the issue fixed. If only Apple were more like that...
Keymap is a stunning piece of software that, in conjunction with Logic (or other soft samplers) make creating sampled instrument content (almost) a pleasure.
Have a good one - do you video these sessions for people who can't attend..?

I am new to Logic Pro X.

I am recently new to Logic Pro X. I have never used production software before so everything is very new to me. I have been watching a lot of tutorials (learn to crawl before you can run). But I have noticed that the layout of my Logic is different to the others in the tutorials. Mine has sort of a brown boarder on the sides of the screen and when I first open up Logic everything is fine, I click 'Empty Project' but from here things look different to everyone elses.
After clicking 'Empty Project' another screen opens that lets you choose from Software Instrument, Audio, Drummer etc.. On others Logic it just comes up as individual boxes for each subject.. But on my Logic it comes up something similar but only it has 3 big pictures of instuments.
It looks a lot like garage band and it is really annoying me because when I am watching tutorials and trying to go along with them it is hard to keep track.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help.
The way I want my Logic to be.The way that it is.

You are running Logic Pro X in "Garage Band Pro" mode.... (You choose this option during install.. when it asked if you had ever used LPX before..) which is a cut down version of LPX with a lot of advanced features and abilities turned off....
So.. to turn on "Logic Pro X" Mode..... and activate all the features you are missing...
Go to Logic's preferences/Advanced tab (In the menu bar) and check all the options.....
I would restart LPX after doing so..... and open a new project.... and you will be good to go....

I manually deleted my iphone photos through windows explorer now it wont sync new music or backup. any help please?

i manually deleted my iphone photos through windows explorer now it wont sync new music or backup. any help please?

If those photos were part of the camera roll, they were part of the backup as well and you can restore from the latest backup you made on the old computer. After that transfer the photos to the new PC, follow this article: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Then sync again to the new one, which will erase the phone again.
You can also try to copy the backup folder from the old computer to the new one and see if the old backups get recognized, check this article to find the location on your PC:
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
If the photos were not taken with the phone, your data is gone, photos you sync from iTunes to the phone are not included in the backup.

Normally a window's ISO image can easily be opened in Finder just by double clicking on it...

Hi therem, new to logic pro, a few problems, can anyone help?

hi there, when i try import a audio file it asks, what kind of file is this, and gives only the option to abort, how do i get around this? also so far each time i save a song, the next time i try to reopen it it says the songs damaged, and after that it says my project manager needs to rescan ( witch i have done) but then logic goes mental , 1 i cant open any instuments and 2 the grafics go a bit weird,
i have totally reintalled it twise. ive reset my preffences and it works, but only untel i try load a song and it crashes,
oh and every file i have tried to bounce, wont work, even a wave file transfered to my pc doesnt work,
please if any one can help, i would be really grateful

I can only offer my own experience, sometime ago Logic started to act weird Flashingg, crashing. So my solution was drastic. I decided to re-install OSX . I did and re-insatll Logic Pro and all my plugins. After that everything was OK. I dont know what was wrong , Mac Pro is New there are bugs. It took me three days to re-install everything but it was a good thing. Now Logic is OK. In My case it happen rigth after a connected a Mackie control and extender.
So I downloaded the new Midi drivers from Mackie
Good luck.

Logic pro download issues PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I just downloaded logic pro and it asked me to download extra content...i passed up on it by mistake and can't figure out how to access it again to download?? Please help!!!

Simple...
Start Logic
Go to Logic's Menu Bar at the top of the screen.
Click on Logic Pro in the bar
Click on "Download Additional Content"
Select what content you wish to install (I'd install it all...)
Wait a while (depending on how fast or slow your internet connection is..)
Done!

I am completely new to Logic pro x. Can anyone help me on what to do and how to start making basic beats?

I just purchased a mac and bought Logic Pro X. I have used fruity loops a little bit but this is completely different. Can anyone help me on getting started to make basic beats or anything?

Just a suggestion. You can pick up Apple Pro Training Series Logic Pro 9 & Logic Express 9 (iBooks or Amazon). It will be a good start as the versions are somewhat similar. It may be a while till something more current and specific will be out for learning Logic Pro X from the ground up.
There are few Youtube sources are available as well.
