Ok I/O setting and Midi

Hi there,
I was at guitar center today and got into a big discussion about Logic Pro 7. I have the program but never really used it. However when i saw it in action today i was like "How can a program do all that"
Anyway, i picked up a Midi keyboard while i was there but now that im home i cant open up the I/O settings on the master volume. I have no idea how to do it. So i cant get to all the wonderful beats and plug-ins that Logic Pro has.
Any idea on how to open up that button. So i can play with the drum machine?
Also can Midi control volume and Pan?
Thanks
Kyle

No problem Kyle, but I think a bit of manual-reading is in order on your end. In the meantime, to help you get started...
1) in the Arrange window, select an Audio Instrument.
2) on the lower LH side of the window there will be a fader. Look for the label "I/O" and below that is a blank, dark gray "slot". Click/hold on that slot and a heirarchical menu will come up. For now, go into the "stereo" folder, and then into the "Logic" folder and you'll see a list of the instruments that the guy probably demonstrated.

Hi Charlotte,
You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.

I've imported some midi tracks, used the mixer to set pan, volume etc, but when I stop playback and restart it sets every midi track back to '0'. I've been using LE for years, this is a new one, any ideas?

Hi,
that's because Logic reads the volume information out of the imported MIDI tracks and sets the volume fader according to this information. The MIDI information overrides volume settings you have done, so you have to identify the MIDI events that contain volume (or expression or pan or whatever) information and delete them. You can use the event list editor for this.

When i put my bounced track to CDJ 900, the sound quality drops, Hi and Mid Pass sound like they "Shrink In", doesn't sound the same when playback in logic. I set my bouncing setup as highest.

Hi Eriksimon,
Firstly, thanks for your message.
What I meant by "hi pass mid pass shrinking in" is EXACTLY what you menat, I got a heavy bass and muffed high and mid content. Apologised for my poor English.
I haven't checked the setting of the playback device yet but instead I tested it with some professional produced tracks. I know the sound tends to vary a little bit when playing from computer and CD player such as the CDJ 900 that I am using. The differences were not as significant as my own track. They tend to get a rather good balance. My track is well balanced and mixed (I guess) in Logic but it turns out completely different when using the CD player.
I bounced my work to MP3 with highest BIte Rate.

Mid quarter depreciation without setting the mid period

Hello All,
Thank you for taking time to read my question.
When AA went live, half monthly data for the company code was not maintained (while it should have been maintained 15 as the mid period). Since the half period is not configured, I am not able to set the mid month setting in OAVH. Now the taxes are calculated with an additional 15 days when specifying mid quarter when using period method control 005. The company code went live last year October and SAP will not allow updating the mid period from blank to 15.
Have anyone dealt with such a situation? I planned on defining a new period control key and assign it to a custom period method control. But still not able to get the depreciation value correct to the mid quarter.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
AM

What do you mean without mid period setting? Is this OAVH? Anyway, you can try this.
Use of Half Months in the Company Code
In this step, you determine the company codes in which you want to use half periods. In this way, you can calculate depreciation in these company codes on the basis of half months or half periods. Using this method, you can work with 24 periods in Asset Accounting, although the fiscal year version in Financial Accounting has only 12 normal periods (without using a different fiscal year version for Asset Accounting).
You should be aware, however, that the specifications for periods in the transactions in Asset Accounting (such as, useful life) have to be based on whole periods (12).
Example
Half periods are, for example, necessary to represent the "mid quarter/month rule". This is a version widely used in the U.S.A. With this rule, it is important for the determination of depreciation whether an acquisition takes place in the first or the second half of a period.
Caution
When you specify the use of half periods in the definition of an asset company code, half periods are automatically specified in all other company codes that use this fiscal year version.
You cannot use half periods with non-calendar fiscal months.
You cannot take back the use of half periods once the specification has been made. It is noted internally by the system in the asset master records.
Requirements
The number of the posting periods in the fiscal year version used must correspond to the number of calendar months (12).
Activities
1. Specify the use of half periods by entering the date (for example, the 15th) for the middle of the period for the company codes.
2. If you have defined period controls yourself
(see Period Control),
you must provide for the use of half periods in their assignment rules. For monthly and quarterly periods, corresponding period controls have already been created as standard in the system.
Thanks!

Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate 42804 recognized. Check conflict between Garageband and external device.

Sometimes, while playing back my software instrument songs, I get an intermittent pop-up error message, saying "Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate 42804 recognized. Check conflict between Garageband and external device."
(Sometimes the five digit number is different, but remains a five-digit number beginning with "4".)
Simultaneously, the song stops until I press the "Okay" button in the pop-up window.
When I continue to play the song, the sound is jerky and clipped, and the playhead doesn't keep up with the song, and then suddenly jumps to the part of the song currently being played.
There's also a sound of static.
The issue seems to occur whether or not I have my MIDI controller turned on and plugged into my desktop Imac.

Error while trying to synchronise audio and midi

Hi
Logic worked all day and suddenly start giving this message:
error while trying to synchronise audio and midi.
Nothing was changed and we also have no sound.
We don't have any midi device, its just the G5 and Logic installed.
Any idea how to solve this issue.

Someone else has been having this problem and I've tried to help 'cos it used to happen to me too. Try adjusting your I/O buffer level in your Logic Audio Driver preferences - raise it a bit higher and the problem should go away. Problem is you get more latency. (I'm assuming it's set lower than 512, but not knowing your audio hardware... and your not using internal audio are you???)

Pop up saying error while trying to sync audi and midi

HELP! is there anyone who is experiencing or has experienced an error pop up saying error while trying to sync audio and midi in your logic pro8? it's doing it on every song I pull up now. I've tried buffering, reloading, Help? all was fine the night before.
Sincere, The Silver Conductor

Check the clock source on your audio interface if you're using one. It should be set to internal. What's your setup?

How to solve: Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI.

The project consists of an hour long DVD of a play which I have loaded into Logic ( on a MacbookPro) and stripped the audio
and cut it up into regions to name the different parts of the play ( verse/music etc)
Usually I am able to play the project with a small window showing the Movie and watching the audio in the back ground adding markers and notes.
Most of the time this works fine.. but then I get the following message re-occurring every few seconds:
"Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI.
Sample Rate 26848 recognized.
Check conflict between Logic Pro and external device"
There is no MIDI, there is no external device, the Sample Rate is the usual 44.1
Can anyone explain how to stop getting this error message which keeps interrupting workflow?

GarageBand: Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI.

This error recently started popping up for me while using garageband.
GarageBand: Error while trying to synchronize Audio and Midi
Sample rate xxxxxx recognized
Check conflict between garageband and external device
When I use garageband, my input and output are usually set to my scarlett 2i2 interface and I've never received the synchronizing error before today. I am not using any Midi.
I've checked the Audio Midi Setup tool to make sure that my format is at 44100.0Hz and have set the "sound" in system preferences to use my scarlett 2i2 interface for input and built-in system for output.
Can anyone help me out with why i'm receiving this error?

Good grief! I'm on a Mac OS X and was having this same problem. All these discussions about so much technical jargon just had me exhausted ... not only did I not understand what was being referred to, but I couldn't imagine how to do what was being said.
Here's what got me straight:
1. Go to System Preferences and click on Sound
2. Click on Input and select your USB mic (or whatever you're using)
3. Click on Output and select Internal Speakers
Done. No more problem with Garageband!

ERROR while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI but I'm NOT using ANY midi

So as the heading says... i hit playback, and I get that error message. but the thing is, i do not have ANY midi recorded, nor am i trying to play any back, no midi instruments loaded, nor any midi tracks at all, AND I do not even have any midi gear hooked up.
also, it is saying that sample rate 44100 recognized but for one, the session is set and locked in to 96khz. with the computor as master for mlan to the O2R. with no other audio gear even hooked up. so where would it even be getting 44100 from??
also, this with only playing back 7 tracks with a 10k rpm drive. so that isn't the problem.

I get this audio/midi sync error from time to time, and have never found a good explanation. I, too, have disconnected midi devices, etc. Its frustrating because it comes and goes, and when it comes it stops playback.I wish someone had a definitive answer on what might be causing this. Sorry I can't help...
The message is a bit of a misnomer (or is it?) in the sense that if there is no MIDI, it's obviously not Audio & MIDI that are out of sync. All audio/MIDI sequencers that I'm aware of internally sync MIDI to Audio. MIDI timing is taken from the audio driver/sample-rate otherwise MIDI would be free floating and locked to the computers clock rather than the audio stream. In a sense... there's always MIDI. When this error pops up it just means the internal relationship between The Audio stream/sample rate and and MIDI timing has exceeded an error threshold. It's most often caused by a blip in the audio stream. It can also (rarely) be caused by MIDI drivers and or MIDI errors,
Possible causes: bad audio drivers, a rogue plugin, a processor spike, a corrupted song, Logic sync settings, some other computer process going on,
MIDI Clock being sent out on all channels, plus a bunch of other reasons I've long forgotten.
Oh, "the audio interface". MOTU devices often need to be reset if they're left plugged in during an OS upgrade, or Logic upgrade.
Note: if you have a firewire audio interface. Before any OS upgrade or and major app upgrade. Unplug the firewire cable and turn the interface off. OS upgrades initialize the firewire ports and it can play havoc with some firewire audio units.

What is the Java equivalent of Visual BAsic ASC() and MID() functions

Hello all! I just would like to ask if you have any idea on how to convert the VB ASC() and MID() functions into java. Where:
1. ASC( ) Function - Returns the ANSI value for the leftmost character in a character expression.
2. MID() Function - The Mid method extracts a substring of length nCount characters from a CHString string, starting at position nFirst (zero-based). The method returns a copy of the extracted substring.
I would really appreciate your help. Thanx!

ah yeah! sorry typo error. see, I am converting a VB method that encrypts password:
Function EncryptText(ByVal stDecryptedText As String)
Dim stText As String, lngCounter As Long
Dim iTemp As Integer, lngNumber As Long
lngCounter = 1
lngNumber = 8
Do Until lngCounter = Len(stDecryptedText) + 1
iTemp = Asc(Mid(stDecryptedText, lngCounter, 1))
If lngCounter Mod 2 = 0 Then
iTemp = iTemp - lngNumber
Else
iTemp = iTemp + lngNumber
End If
iTemp = iTemp Xor (10 - lngNumber)
stText = stText & Chr$(iTemp)
lngCounter = lngCounter + 1
Loop
EncryptText = stText
End Function
I converted this function into this:
public static String encryptPass(String password) {
String encpwd = "";
int iTemp = 0;
final int lngNumber = 8;
String stText = "";
for ( int i = 0; i < password.length() ; i++ ) {
     iTemp = Character.getNumericValue(password.charAt(i));
     if ( i % 2 == 0 ) {
     iTemp = iTemp - lngNumber;
     } else {
     iTemp = iTemp + lngNumber;
     iTemp = iTemp ^ (10 - lngNumber);
     char c = Character.forDigit(iTemp,Character.MAX_RADIX);
     encpwd = encpwd + String.valueOf(c);
     return encpwd;
But I'm having trouble with the encryption because it returns a different set of characters. Did I convert it right? thanx.

Help with "Error syncing Audio and Midi" message. How to fix?

Hi,
I'm running Logic Pro 7.1 on a G5 Dual 2.5 PowerMac. My audio interface is a Digidisign Digi002R, and my MIDI interface is a MOTU Fastlane. Up until a few days ago everything was working fine. I didn't install any new software or anything.
All of a sudden in any Logic session I open (new or saved) I get all kinds of artifacts that sound like they're associated with sample rate problems.
True to form, on playback after 4 or 5 seconds a message comes up telling me that there is an error syncing audio and midi. It tells me that a sample rate of 88209, or 88213, or 88207 (each time it's different) was detected, and that there is a conflict between Logic and my external device.
My Digi002R is set to 44.1, and Logic is set to 44.1 as well. I have no idea where this problem came from.
The only thing I do know is that I've been using the Peachtree Press Apple Pro Training Series to study for my Level 1 Logic certification. it comes with a CD with Logic sessions to use with the text. The CD comes with a Logic Epress Demo but I didn't download that as I've already got Logic Pro. I dragged those session files to my desktop, and the problem occured for the first time when iopened up that first session from the CD. After that, every single session has this problem and I have no idea how to fix it.
Sorry for the incredibly long message, but can anybody help?
Thanks
PowerBook G4 15", PowerMac G5 Dual 2.5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hey,
Thanks. I appreciate the help, but I've tried all of that. I just don't get it. I've unplugged everything, I've shut down, powered down, relaunched everything a dozen times and the problem doesn't go away. I know that the problem is with Logic because the interface works perfectly fnie with everything else, from Pro Tools to iTunes.
I'm having Logic Pro 7.2 shipped to me so I'm hoping that installing that will reset everything, but until then I can't do anything in Logic.
Anybody ever encounter anything like this?

Adobe Audition CC - VSTi and MIDI

I have recently built a DAW on an effects rack with a TASCAM Rack-mount sound interface that came with Cubase LE 5. The computer, which I built myself, is permanently attached and the thing rolls. I plan on using the DAW for on-set recording for making short films as well as for music scoring. Cubase is great, only thing is that it is 32 bits and has memory limitations which can easily be reached if you stack enough samplers and NI Guitar Rig buses. Also, it takes more time to set up each track than Audition or Reaper, which matters a lot when doing live recording.
I am a Creative Cloud subscriber (have been since it was offered).
Is there a timeline to add VSTi and MIDI to Adobe Audition CC? Thanks.

Audition might be the best for high resolution audio, maybe even too advanced for the sound samples available to the folks like myself; as a composer I need midi and vst, me too. I also have to work with older-school samples, so I can not fully profit from the incredible AU sound editing capabilities. The only thing I would say on "hard limiter" plugin is that it might have a better effect with a 20 band equalizer, because cutting peaks is one thing, but the softer noise elements remain in the wave. Simple cutting decibels is a half-job and it looks a little weird on the wave image. I tried to compose midi in one software and then do the sound editing and mastering in AU, but the awkward process is not good. Maybe Audition is for mastering specialists only, then it stays without midi reserved to composers, this makes sense too.

Error Trying to Sync Audio and MIDI - Please Help!

Hey everyone, I know this is a fairly common problem, and I've tried following the Logic Help and manual, but it hasn't solved it.
Last night, I was recording and mixing with my MOTU 828mkII into my Powerbook G4 running Logic Pro 6.4, and everything was working perfectly. Today, when I opened up Logic again to work on mixing the song I recorded last night, after not having changed a single preference anywhere, something bizarre happened. When I clicked the play button, the song began playing, but no sound came out, except for a high-pitched digital howling sound, and after about 5 seconds, an error message came up saying, "Error Trying to Sync Audio and MIDI." I tried other song files I'd recorded months ago, and even with brand new song files, and the same exact problem occurred!
Apparently, it's a discrepancy in the sample rates between my MOTU and Logic? But both have been set to 44.1 for months, and I haven't changed anything. The Logic Help said to change the Sync Mode to MTC Continuous (which I believe it was already set to) or MTC Trigger/ASD (which didn't help).
I even tried re-installing Logic altogether, and changing the sample rates both on my MOTU and Logic to 48 and then back to 44.1, and nothing works.
Please help me! What should I do?
Thanks very much,
TB

I suffered from this problem, and it was particularly frustrating to me since I was not even using MIDI, or so I thought. The "Error Trying to Sync Audio and MIDI" message seemed to crop up just as I was ready to print a final mix.
I did some research and learned that the Logic automation is actually MIDI data, furthermore, I learned that The sample accurate automation feature in Logic Audio results in randomly sized audio buffers being passed to plug-ins.
My solution?
Turn OFF "sample accurate automation" in the menu Logic Pro / Preferences / Audio...
The automation is very accurate even with this option disabled.
