No Audio from Logic Express

I was using an outdated sound card in my Mac G4, I was only hearing sounds out of the little built in Mac speaker, I was told I needed an Audio Interface, so I got a fast track USB pro from M-Audio. Installed everything, now the Mac recognizes it because I was able to switch the "built in Audio" to "Fast Track USB". Even his the "test" button and it works. I now select a sound from the esx24 sample player, and before, i could only hear sound from the built in mac speaker, now however, nothing plays. I see the meter going in logic and it is recignizing the midi input notes but still no Audio sound. This leads me to believe its something within Logic Express 7.2. Can anyone throw out any suggestions?
Regards all
Cheers and thanks for listening

When you switched from "built in audio" to "fast Track" that must have been in the Audio Midi setup of the utilities folder?
You have to do it in Logic as well places.
In case you haven't done that in Logic I will go through the steps.
Inside Logic go to the Audio menu at the very top (not the smaller audio on the arrange screen), then Audio Hardware and Drivers, then you will see the tab for drivers there and should be pretty much the same as you did before. Fast Track should show up there. Notice you can also set the buffer size here as well as a tab for 24 bit recording. Or at least you can in Logic Pro. I don't actually have Logic Express, but I know your issue is were it is in LP.

Upgraded from Logic Express, now no audio.Using Digidesign MBox, Any ideas?

Upgraded from Logic Express, now NO audio.I'm using Digidesign MBox as my interface. Logic Express still works fine. Any ideas? Thanks,

Selecting Mbox in the audio preferences was the trick!!

Lost bfd/plug ins from Logic Express

this is potentially a stupid question..
I seem to have lost the instrument plugins from Logic Express.
Recently installed LE 7.2 and originally the instrument plugins were there and working.
However I since installed fxpansion BFD and somehow can not see either that or the logic instruments.
I have opened and checked the AU manager and rescanned bfd.
BFD works as a standalone app.
Library/audio/components folder seems to have the au plugins.
The signal processers are all there in the channel insert but not the instruments or the fxpansion application.
any ideas anyone ?

I am thinking this is a Logic specific problem now.
I cannot see the logic instruments in the channel inserts either, although the effects and signal processors are there.
where should the EFM 1, ES m etc folders be on the drive?
asuming they are in the right place what settings could affect their showing up in the insert menu??

The synth pad sound Warm Pad has changed after upgrading from Logic Express 7 to Logic Studio

Hello!
I have composed a lot of songs over the years using Logic Express 7, and my favourite synth pad sound there was a sound called Warm Pad (from the EXS24 Sampler).
A half a year ago I upgraded to Logic Studio, mainly because I needed WaveBurner. Happily, all my songs sounded exactly the same after the upgrade, except from 1 sound: The synth pad sound Warm Pad. It still got the same name and location, but the sound was replaced with a very sharp and much more distinct sound (not warm at all, in my ears at least).
I have tried to replace it with different synth pad sounds from the EXS24 Sampler, and the one I find to come most close to the old Warm Pad from Logic Express, is a synth pad sound called Pad 1. Still, I don’t think it sound exactly the same.
So, in order to finish all my songs and make an album, I ask you for help:
1. Do you know how I can get EXACTLY the same sound as the old Warm Pad Logic Express, with my new Logic Studio?
2. Have you experienced the same with sounds, after upgrading from one Logic version to a newer one? And what have you done to find back to the old sounds?
I will be VERY thankful for help, because I am not a genius in the mysterious (but yet exiting) world of synthesizer synthesis.

I have the boxed version of logic studio.
When you install, if you pick the "ad hoc" installation you can add the logic7 patches to your existing patches.
I think running installation again you should be able to install just that.

How to record video or use screen capture WHILE capturing audio from Logic??

Hi,
I want to record my self playing guitar and singing using my mac book pro built in camera. I want the audio to come from Logic so I can add whatever effects I want to the vocals. When I say audio from Logic I don't mean recording in Logic and adding it in post. I want it to be on the fly.
What I used to do was use the screen capturing program Snapz Pro. I would screen capture a box around photobooth for the video, and then record while having Logic's audio in the background. It screen captures my entire computers audio. So for example if I get an aim message the bleep would show up in the recording. Or if I raise the volume or lower it the little click sound fx would be in it as well.
Capturing the audio this way let me get Logic's audio effects in my video on the fly. It worked out great....until now! :/
I just got the audio interface "Duet 2". And am using a microphone instead of my mbp's built in one. When ever I tried to record and capture my systems audio - my entire computer would crash. Snapz Pro won't work with the system audio with the interface. It works fine without it though.
I then tried to use Quicktime's new movie recording feature. I see it only gives an option for microphone and now system audio. So I got soundflower to re route the audio but that doesn't help either. This is because when you capture this way you can't hear anything while your capturing. So if I were to record a video and wanted Logics audio in it, I would have to set the output to Soundflower first. So when I record I cant hear myself which defeats the purpose.
So my final question is, how can I record video while having Logic's audio? I don't need to record with the mic, because in Logic the mic audio is going thru the system audio with everything else.
I would like to use a process more similiar to Quicktimes straight movie recording instead of doing an odd way like I used to screen capturing a box around the photobooth screen.
Thanks

Streaming audio from Logic 7.2

Has anyone found a good way to stream audio from Logic to another computer via the web? I'm tweaking a sound design mix for a client in another city and would love to be able to get them on the phone and have them be able to participate in real time. Where's the Rocket Network when you need it? : )Thanks.

2 solutions:
1. Old school: get a telephone coupler and send the mix down the phone line.
2. iChat: feed your mix into a small mixer, open a mic when you want to talk, and feed the mix into your "line input" on iChat (make sure it's selected in preferences) and do an audio chat.

Upgrading from Logic Express 7.0 to 7.1 doesn't work

When I try to upgrade from Logic Express 7.0.1 to LE 7.1 I get an error message saying the installed version is a later version than the upgrade I'm trying to apply.
I have upgraded from OS X.3.6 to X.4.0 since installing LE 7.0.1.
Any clues about what's going on with this time-warp problem?

This is exactly the same problem I have had, despite down loading several times (just in case), and even using a different machine (again, just in case). Needless to say, the query I posted on the Apple Logic help site has not been responded to!
Fortunately, Logic Express still works but it would be nice to be running the latest (functioning) version

Sending audio from logic to external hardware effects, and back into Logic

Hi,
I am currently trying to send audio from Logic to external hardware effects and then record this back into Logic.
My audio interface is a Edirol UA-25 which has only two outputs '1 and 2'.
I understand that I could create an 'aggregate device' which would create two more ins + outs being '3 & 4'.
I also understand that would need to use the Logic I/O plug in configuring this routing.
When treating the audio via the external hardware I particularly only want to hear the audio being processed and not the original 'uneffected' signal.
Can someone please explain if I am able to do all of this with just the UA-25, and if so, then how.
Cheers,
Mr Rock

You connect output 1 of your interface to your active speaker.
You connect output 2 of your interface to the input of your external effect.
You connect the output of your external effect to input 2 of your interface.
You route your track in Logic to output 2.
You create a new track.
You route this new track to output 1 and output 1 only.
You choose input 2 as the source for this track.
You arm the track.
You hit Record.
You hit Stop some time later.

How do I upgrade to Logic Pro from Logic Express?

When I decided to dump ProTools and go with Logic, it was easy because Express was pretty cheap and there was always an upgrade path to Logic Studio. Now it's version 9 and I don't see an option to upgrade to Logic Pro 9 from Logic Express 9. Can you guys help me out here?

Based on the replies in the Logic Express forums, it looks like I'll just have to suck it up until Logic 10 comes out.
I think I would feel totally hosed if it weren't for the fact that I recently got Komplete 8 Ultimate, so I don't really care for the Logic synths.

Master volume adjustments aren't translating when i bounce projects from Logic Express, any tips?

hi folks!
whenever i bounce a track from Logic Express it's always significantly quieter than any other aiff, mp3 or wave file i have, including those that i have bounced from garageband. Even if i crank the 'master' volume in the mixing window, it sounds loud in Logic, but the bounced file is a big 'wanh wanh' and has absolutely no change in volume.
i must be doing something stupid.
is there another place i can adjust the master volume that the bounce will read?
does anyone else have this problem?
i'm pulling out my hair.
any suggestions would be very welcome!
thank you!

Hi,
first of all: The "Master" Fader is for trimming your mix to your monitors only. The bounce will be taken from the "stereo output" channel, so look there for the correct volume.
Now for the loudness issue: Garageband has kind of a built in foolproof bouncing. Normally, you would have to adjust not only volume to be an loud as you wish, but you have to insert some plugins into the stereo output channel to ensure that the signal doesn't get any louder than 0db, because this will produce clipping and with raising volume, distort the sound. But:
You can raise the volume if you insert the LIMITER plugin as very last plugin into the stereo output channel. Make sure it is the last plugin so there are no changes to loudness after it, not even an eq!
Any change of loudness before the limiter will be limited (hence the name) to a maximum of 0db by default (you can change the value - i use -0.1 db just to be sure.) while the softer parts of the music are being raised in loudness. If you listen to it, you'll notice the whole song is louder without distorting. Of course, if you overdo it, you'll hear the squished dynamics. Experiment!
Garageband seems to have a built in preset to perform these tasks fairly well. In Logic, you have the freedom of using or not using these settings and to customize them, which is quite normal for a pro tool.

Logic Pro Upgrade from Logic Express 8 + Lion. Please help

No audio from logic?

I have a project that just stopping putting out audio - I have tried unsoloing everything- and nothing. I was working on a bass part triggering my MOX* Yamaha- which has been working fine- I set up a track for external midi assigned midi channel 1 and record audio out from the keyboard- all of a sudden the track would only play a few of the notes back- when i copied that track to a software instrument track- all notes played fine -. Then Logic just stopped making sound all together??
has Apple stopped doing updates for Logic 9 witrh mavericks

EQ ing iMovie HD audio with Logic Express

I realize that this question pertains to both iMovie HD and Logic Express. I thought it best to try this forum because it deals with audio.
I have some footage was taken of a Jazz trio I play with. I imported one of the songs into iMovie. Everything is cool but the sound. It was the sound was recorded with the video camera's built in mic which was too close to the cymbals. I would like to be able to import the audio from iMovie into Logic express and then do a bit of EQ ing and perhaps a bit of compression.
I think that I know where to fine the audio iMovie audio files once I've extracted them from the clips. What I was wondering about is.......
What do I need to know as far as the audio sampling rates from iMovie to Logic Express go? Do I need to set up Logic Express in such a way that it matches the sampling rate of iMovie? What is the sampling rate of iMovie. In chapter 4 of the Martin Sitter book there are some things about sampling rates and how they are converted automatically to work in LE but I was not sure if I would then need to save the new audio file in a certain sampling rate so that I would wok in iMovie.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Morris

No Sound from Logic Express 8 during track playback?

Hi and Help. I am probably being stupid and I guess this is simple to clear up. I have read the manual but I can't find a resolution (probably miussed that to!). Anyway the problem is this, I have just bought Logic Express 8, set up was fine on my macbook pro intel core duo which is also linked to logitach Z-10 speakers (actually good!). Upon opening Logic I set up a track (by the way Core Audio is on) and drag a loop from the brouser into a new track, it locates in the track and I play it back, nothing, not a sound or blip on the channel indicator. I can audition the loop in the brouser and it plays fine. Why no sound playback from the track??
Can you help please, I have odviously missed something simple but I don't know what it is.

Well yes I was being stupid. I have resolved the issue, it was down to understanding terminalogy. All is working.
