PLEA. HELP -Profes. Way to route Audio back to L8 from Slave

HI,
Ok: Here we go... can somebody please help me in setting up my Audio Signals from the Slaves back into Logic 8??
Now - I will go over and gather up what "insane" Information/Problems I have read about in the last days (Every day from Morning to Evening) and about my own conclusions because of my own testing with latencies...
Please (with all understanding) of the mentioned problems... How do you actually manage to route Audio Back from Slave Pcs into Logic 8 ?? What Latency are you able to use ??
Lets Start:
My simplified setup:
Main: MacbookPro Logic 8 with RME Fireface 800 (it has 2 Adats Stereo In/Out) and One SPDIF Digital
Slaves: Slave PC (M-Audio Delta Series)
Currently I only have a Slave PC hooked up with my Macbook Pro - Logic 8 sends Midi via IpMidi and gets Audio back from the Slave via Digital Spdif. I always have to delay the midi in EACH TRACK a little bit forward (1/64) Note in order to compensate the latency of my Slave PC (M-Audio at 512Samples)
I figured that the Latency of the Slave Audio would be the Latency of my Slave Audio Card + that of my Main Audio Card - Fireface 800 (they are both set to 512) ... That would add together to about 22ms of delay...Did I do the math right??
General List of "crazy" Problems to consider for this Connection:
General Understanding:
The Audio from my Slaves has to go back into Logic, in order to get everything in Sync. In this way Logic has all Signals needed to calculate latencies (caused by plugIns)
1. OK Lets say I want to route Audio back from My slave into Logic using the EXTERNAL INSTRUMENT PLUGIN:
- the EXTINST is not suited for Multitimbral (Multiple Midi Channels) Instruments (I use Kontakt 2 on my Slave)
- I can not handle any Midi Volume Faders from it to control Kontakt on Slave
- Insert Effects arent't compensated (although in PDS Mode for "Audio and Instruments" ) Workaround to this : - Using the Fx on a connected Bus - THATS CRAZY!.
External Instrument PLUGIN is therefore not suited.
2. OK Lets try routing via an Multiinstrument (Midi) and Audio Routing Back into Logic via an Aux Channel with the proper Inputs set:
- well, this works a lot better (Midi is more convenient), but I always have to correct the latency caused by my slave PC by draging the Midi forward.
3. Ok. Lets use the Latency Fixer PlugIN from Expert Sleepers to fix it:
- Well in PDC Mode for "Audio and Instruments" (where I am supposed to Record everything in and play from my keyboard) it does of course NOT WORK .....
- Only when setting it to PDC "Full Mode" it is effecitve ... but than I can not record Midi in Sync .... What is that???
- in Other Words Using the Latency Fixer Plugin I Would have to switch back an forth in the PDC Mode:
- PDC Audio Instr & Tracks ON When Recording / PDC Full ON to take advantage of the Latency Fixer PlugIn during playback --- THAT CAN`T BE IT!!!
Ok - I am not getting anywhere. Summing it all up:
The best solution I found so far:
-Using Aux Channels with proper Input for the Audio coming back from Slaves (Via SPDIF or Adat (lightpipe) )
- reduce Latency by dragging each track forward (midi Delay to negative value)
Quick note to the programmers (But I guess nobody will read it or care):
Sorry programmers - What the heck are you programming ?? - Can't you just sum up the Problems on a list like I did and find proper Solutions ??? I don't want Logic 8 REMASTERED, I want Logic 10 Surpassed !!!
I can Imagine its hard wok -- but this is your JOB. Mine is composing...
I Don't have time sitting several hours a day searching for PROBLEMS and NO REALLY GOOD SOLUTIONS. I really would enjoy composing once in a while...
SO PLEASE: The next time want to make a new Logic, think of IMPORTANT PROBLEMS !!!!!!!
Don't just paint the ape like a human. If you want it to become a "smart " sapient, you'll have to work on it.
If somebody has the same procedure or a better way, I would like to know about it. Please report also if you know how really professional Studios are doing this...
I am about to buy 2 more professional soundcards for more slaves, and I would like to know how to connect everything together with logic.
Cheers and thanks for all upcoming answers and for reading this novel :))...

  • Routing audio to "system settings" from application?

    Hi
    This is  a bit of a specialist one I am afraid.
    In the new version of Logic Pro X (10.0.7), there is an audio routing option to route audio "To system settings".
    This is ideal for us, as we have many audio workstations in a computer setup, and we use an Apple TV and Airplay on the classroom whiteboard for mirroring, and when the student mirrors their computer up to the Apple TV the sound from Logic Pro follows, and the class can hear. (Usually they are using a local Firewire device on headphones).
    What I'm looking for is a way to route audio from software which doesn't have this option into the System setting, i.e. Sibelius 6. Sibelius mandates you choose an audio device to route to, and doesn't change when you mirror to Airplay - it stays on the selected device.
    Sibelius will mirror to Airplay if you set it up deep as a menu option, but this isn't pretty as the audio output device is buried deep in a submenu and requires changing and them changing back to local every time the student mirrors. It isn't user friendly.
    I'm wondering if I can do anything like route through Soundflower or any other virtual sound card, or another driver, which will allow this change. Soundflower routing into Logic, and Logic outputting to System Setting would work, but it's seriously clunky.
    Any advice welcome.
    Thanks, Tom

  • Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

    Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

    Are you sure that you can transfer contacts from the iPod to Skydrive?
    I would try the links that I previusly provided and try to get iTunes to see the iPOd so you can do everthing right.
    If you find a computer that can see the iPOd yu can update the iPod on that computer.  See:
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
    Yu can make that your suncing computer by -
    - Transfering iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Connect the iPod and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Dvices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore from that backup. That will also update the iPod.

  • HELP! How can I switch back and forth from LT to FCE to sync sound?

    I'm using LT 1.2.1 and FCE 3.0. I haven't used it for 2 or 3 years, but people in this forum have been amazing at helping me get an old project working again.
    Here's my latest question. I swore back then there was a way to move back and forth between LT and FCP so I wouldn't have to render my LT files each time I wanted to drop it into FCP.
    Here's what I'm doing:
    I've created an entire "movie" in LT that now needs to be fine-tuned to be sync'd up with a professional voiceover, which is why I'm using FCP. The only way I can figure out how to make sure the LT file is going to be sync'd with the audio is to render the movie in LT, import it into FCE, see if the audio works with it, if not, I go back to LT, move things around, then re-render, import into FCE, and hope it all sync's.
    I think there was an easier way to go back and forth between the two.
    Along the same lines, is there a way to get the audio from FCE (or some sort of a representation) into LT? The LT file must be adapted to the audio, and if I could "see" the audio in LT, it would be infinitely easier.
    Thanks!
    Bob

    LiveType does not support any kind of audio, Bob.
    Go through your movie in the FC Timeline and set markers at the relevant cue points by pressing M.
    Pressing M a second time whilst sitting on the marker, will open a dialog where you can type a suitable description in the name field. Keep the description short -it might help to take notes too.
    Export a copy of the movie (including markers) and bring it into LiveType with File > Place background Movie. The markers will show up at the top of the LT timeline, with their descriptions.
    Delete the background from LiveType when you have everything lined up. Save your LT project file and import it into FCE. You can use the project file exactly like a video clip.
    If you need to go back to LiveType for changes, right click the LT file in FCE's Timeline. Choose "Open in Editor". This will open the project in LT. Make changes, save the file and it will update in FCE.

  • Best way to pass data back and forth from multiple NativeProcess threads

    Hi all,
    We have an application that requires multiple concurrent accesses to mulitple instances of a java NativeProcess. The input and output is XML data. I can see how to shunt this back and forth with only a single listening thread on stdout, but with multiple threads the whole thing is going to get rather jumbled. At the moment we are looking at using temporary files to read and write data from each instance, but I wonder if there might be a better way ... any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    I may not be completely understanding your issue...however you should be able to check which NativeProcess instance is giving you stdin/stdout/stderror data by checking the target member of the ProgressEvent. If that is not helpful, could you please provide some additional information about what you are trying to do, and what trouble you are running in to?
    Thanks,

  • Help please... Audio sync issues going from iMovie to iDVD (iLife '09 packa

    I've tried technical support, I've tried looking online but nothing seems to have helped, so here's the problem:
    I have a video/movie, that is around 58 minutes long, I share it to iDVD and the other media formats from iMovie. The vid has music, transitions, titles, credits, etc... It plays fine in iMovie while I am editing it. The problem comes when I try to export it to another media format and to iDVD.
    There's a section that has major audio sync issues that I have no idea how to even begin to fix. There is audio and music from the 55 minute mark that plays over the 27 minute mark for a good 3 minutes of video and audio.
    I've tried some of the suggestions I've come across but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have anything that they can offer this very frustrated guy? Please and thank you in advance.

    I don't shoot 12 bit audio (ever) so I'm not an expert on fixing it or converting it back to 16 bit audio. I can only report what others on this forum claim to have worked (in some cases with marginal success).
    The ones that comes to mind are:
    1. video and audio extraction in an attempt to re sync.
    2. exporting back to the camera from iMovie and then re-importing as 16 bit.

  • HT1766 Is there way of accessing your back up data without the use of an i-phone?

    Is there a way of accessing your back up data from the computor without the use of an i-phone?

    If it wasnt activated prior icloud wont help now. Did you ever use the save and print option to "send it itunes"?  I did that all the time prior to icloud to back up my docs. Then you can "copy from itunes" in the new document dialog.
    I still recommend doing the export to iTunes to create a local back up copy on ocassion.
    For future reference, To activate icloud for documents, go into the main settings app, tap icloud, then documents and data, and turn it on. Then go to the app (maybe numbers) further down the main settings list, tap it and turn on "use icloud".

  • I had to restore my ipod touch and now I have lost all my games.  Is there a way to get them back?

    I had to restore my ipod touch when doing an update and now I have lost all my games.  Is there a way to get them back?

    Restore from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up      
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Can Apple Remote Desktop route audio to selected computers across network?

    Can ARD be used to route audio output (e.g. from iTunes) across the network? If not, suggestions would be appreciated.
    I remember that there was a -display option on Unix commands that let us run applications remotely and wondered if that might be a start to getting this task to work.
    The intention is to feed audio-streamed data out to networked iMacs for use during classroom tests, controlled from a central admin computer in a different room. None of the classroom iMacs in question have iTunes on them, since it was removed to keep the machines more focused on classroom activities.

    Sorry but no, ARD does not support audio across the network in any form.
    Airfoil supports streaming of audio to other computers. I don't know if it will stream to multiple computers simultaneously, but you could check.
    Regards.

    Hi i synced an iphone to a new pc and it updated and restored the iphone to its original settings. some photos were still there after but a few hundred are now missing. Is there any way to get them back?

    restore from a backup dated prior to when you synced to the new computer.
    ideally... were you backing up to icloud?  if so, erase all content and settings and restore from a backup in icloud dated prior to when you synced.  Camera roll backs up I believe and those photos will show back up

  • How do I revert back to Leopard from Snow Leopard?

    I've been searching for days on a way to do revert back to Leopard from Snow Leopard (install Leopard over Snow Leopard).
    I recently upgraded to SL and have had enough problems with applications that at this point I want to just revert to Leopard and wait a few months until I permanently upgrade.
    I tried placing the Leopard install disk in and got as far as rebooting. Once it rebooted to begin installation it did this weird grey screen and force me to restart manually - it continued this in a loop until I removed the disk; which allowed me to boot back up in SL.
    Is there a way to do this other than doing a full uninstall wiping all my data? If that is the only option, is there a easy way to transfer my data (Time Machine maybe or something else?)

    I would transfer my data manually to a partition on an external firewire drive. Then, I would clone my SL installation to another partition of the drive. Next, I'd start up to my SL installation DVD and use Disk Utility to erase my internal. Afterward, I'd quit Disk Utility and quit the installer. Then, I use my Leopard install disk to reinstall Leopard. Since you are having app problems, I reinstall my apps using, among other things, the app disk that probably came with Leopard. Copy your data back, and you are good to go.

    Help! I need to go back to Mavericks from Yosemite

    I just purchased the laptop and upon set up I updated everything without doing a back up. But now I need to go back to using Mavericks. How do I do so, without a back up? I have no worries of losing any important files, as the laptop is brand new and I haven't done anything on here yet. But I do need to return to Mavericks. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
