Presonus Faderport -

Can I use the Presonus Faderport with my Macbook Pro running Logic Pro 9? I see mixed answers here. Is there maybe another similar controller out there?
Happy New Year to all and thanks in advance!

Wow! All I can say is wow and thank you for posting the link to the better alternative,,,This alphatrack is the best thing since sliced bread...
Forget about the fadeporter...The alphatracks makes the fadporter look 100 years old...Am loving it...Don't know how I used soundtrack pro without the alphatracks before....Now it's like eveyday life...
Where is the off button on the alphatracks...

Does Audition Support Mackie HUI Protocol (Presonus Faderport)

Hi, im considering to buy Presonus Faderport but i have heard that Audition doesn't support Mackie HUI nor native FaderPort.. I want to know if is it for old versions (1.5 and 2.0) or all versions (if it does work with 3.0) and if there's news about upcoming Adobe version working with Faderport (native)? Thanks..

Hmmm... Didn't know there was another Mackie HUI control device. Seems
kinda strange that Mackie would sign on with something that that wasn't
universal in this type of equiment. I've had mine for a couple of years and
if memory serves me right I had to download a firmware update for it to talk
to Audition (2.0 at the time). I updated the firmware and away it went. I
use it with both Audition and Cubase software and am quite pleased with it.
Sometimes I guess it would nice to just be like the Russians - we'd only
have one of something that way. It might not work, but we'd all have the
same thing.

Presonus Faderport in Logic 10.1 - Mac forgets device after some time

I've been using a Presonus Faderport with my Mac and Logic X for a while now. I found the appropriate Presonus 64 bit driver and how-to on installing it. It's all good - as long as it is recognized.
Since the latest revision 10.1 however, somehow Logic forgets the Faderport after a few hours. By now I've figured out that I need to reset all sorts of Midi and device settings a few times and then it goes back to normal (even after restarting the program) - until the next day or so when the whole things starts over again.
Any thoughts what could cause this? Are there any plans to update drivers or firmware for the otherwise great and extremely useful device?
Thanks

I can get OS utilities up using CMD R or holding the shift key (eventually), but if I simply then reinstall the OS will it not loose everything on my drive?
Reinstalling 10.10.x should not lose any user data or files.
I agree that 10.10 is a terrible downgrade for an OS, but not sure if you can restore 10.6.x from TM...'
Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?

Can't imagine something not being covered there.
As to your current problem, it's likely some incompatible 3rd party App or kext causing the problem...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions. Does that work?
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)

Presonus Faderport - has anyone used it?

Has anyone here used the Presonus Faderport? If so could you post how your experience with is was? I'm quite interesed in it, and how it runs with Logic.

There was a thread about the Faderport over the summmer. The consensus seemed to be that it works fine with 7.1 but not well with 7.2. I've been using it with no troubles in 7.1, so I'm basically happy with it. There are a few annoyances, like having to repeatedly hit the enter button while bouncing a song, since an error message says that Logic is unable to communicate with the Faderport during the bounce, which is unnecessary, as it has nothing to do with the bounce.

PreSonus Faderport - LE 7 Compatibility??

A while back II upgraded from GB4 to LE7, and my first thought was that now that I have logic I will be able to purchase this particular control surface I had my eye on - the PreSonus Faderport. Having tactile controls is important to me, and the Faderport is much cheaper than a full controlling mixer. HOWEVER, I am dissapointed to read on the PreSonus website that "Logic Express and Garage Band are NOT currently supported"!
I'd LOVE to hear from someone here that this is just bullshi*t from PreSonus because they have not official tested it in LE.
If not, it's the last straw - I'm putting out for Logic Studio.
thanks,

One of the 4 things that LP8 has that LE8, LE7, and GB don't have is high-end control surface support.

Presonus Faderport - issues with Logic?

Hi - I've just gotten the Presonus single-channel faderport - great and affordable little product; however, it's causing a strange issue in Logic despite their claim that it's compatible, and their tech support has led me to one possible issue I wanted to ask about...the faderport sends data exclusively on MIDI channel 1 apparently, which makes sense because when it's hooked up, any external sampler I have will not play out of channel 1. This seems like a fatal flaw - they said it could have to do with my environment setup, ie if any instrument has its MIDI port set to all...why would that be? I have multi-instruments that have each channel going to 1 of 16, and there are some old icons in the environment of instruments no longer attached that say "All". Otherwise, seems fine.
Any ideas of whether this is my Logic environment setup or the faderport? The faderport by the way is set up and installed correctly.
thanks!

update on this issue - I've found that the faderport can be installed and work without bottle-necking MIDI channel 1 and anything external that transmits on it only if it is installed while any external samplers are shut down and booted up after faderport installation.
however, the issue with it losing its connection to Logic quite frequently still occurs way too often making it too frustrating to use thus far- would love to know if anyone's figured out how to eliminate this problem and use the unit productively, because it has potential to be a great studio addition.
thanks, look forward to any feedback-

Presonus Faderport problem with Logic Pro 7 running Snow Leopard

I've been been using Tiger to run Logic Pro 7 without any problems for the past few years. I've held out on upgrading to Snow Leopard since everything worked so nicely, but I finally gave in and loaded 10.6.6. Logic Pro 7 seems to be okay except for my Faderport control surface functionality. I upgraded to the newest FP firmware, and Logic 7 recognizes the FP, but it doesn't work. When I open a Logic project I get a pop up dialog box that says:
Module file "Faderport" is too new and cannot be used with this version of Logic control surfaces. Please get an update of the Logic control surface application file. I also get another dialog box that says: "Loading Module Faderport..." But nothing happens.
I'd appreciate any and all ideas on how I might deal with this. Thanks!

Hi,
I'm getting this message since updating the Faderport Firmware. I'm using Logic 7 in Tiger still.
How did you fix the install pref?

Audition faderport

Servus,
funktioniert der Presonus Faderport mit Audition CS5.5?
Wie wähle ich überhaupt einen externen Controller in der Version 5.5 an?

Danke vielmals Gruß Robert

Zu speziell. Im englischen Forum fragen oder nach alternativen Foren/ Seiten suchen, die sich mit sowas beschäftigen.

Where can I learn more about the Logic Environment?

I've been using LogicPro for a while now - since version 7 came out - and I'm ready to learn more about the mysterious Logic Environment. Anyone know of a good tutorial or website on this topic? I don't have a specific question - what I need is a general overview.
My sessions are primarily audio recording and mixing with a virtual instrument from time to time. I rarely use MIDI except to play the synths and instruments.
My environmental experience so far has been limited to creating and naming audio objects, accessing "hidden" faders and as an alternate to the mix views provided in the global and track mixers.
I'd prefer free advice but I'm not against paying if it's worth it. I have read the manual but I have a feeling that it will be more helpful once I have a better grasp on the big picture. It's a reference manual more than a how-to.
My MIDI devices are an Axiom-61 and PreSonus FaderPort.
Thanks,
John

Apple has what they call "online seminars" available on the main Logic page
http://www.apple.com/logicpro/
If you look on the bottom right hand side of the page, you see a link for online seminars. You'll have to go through a regstration process, then you can watch 3 or 4 streaming Quicktime videos of people using different functions in Logic. There's nothing really in depth there, but it does show you a few useful shortcuts and methods.

How to export usb controller custom assignment settings to another computer

Hello everybody
is there any way to export Logic 9's USB controller assignments to another computer setup, to work with same controllers bought from a local music store, with even up to 7 usb controllers in one setup? This way, with a preference export file type of method, time would be saved lightyears by just choosing some "import settings file" function and *click*, every pot in those multiple controllers would do the intended function on the other system too.
Example scenario,
computer 1) MacBook + 7 different usb controllers wanted to by exported assignment-wise (2 x Behringer BCF2000 and 3 x BCR2000, Presonus Faderport and Novation Nocturn
computer 2) MacBook Pro + 7 different usb controllers wanted to be exported assignment-wise (2 x Behringer BCF2000 and 3 x BCR2000, Presonus Faderport, Novation Nocturn + some other random USB controller in the chain also (wanted to be left outiside any assignment compromises)
I don't know what information of controller devices Logic saves into different files for recalling purposes, and how accurate device-identifying-wise the assignment files are, but how could I make "computer 2" controllers do the same fader/vpot/button functions as on "computer 1" using those same products over there, and still leave that existing extra eight'd controller on "computer 2" left as it is/was?
Ps. If there IS a file exportable for instant multi-controller configuring this scale, does the actual physical connecting order into USB hubs (all these devices could even by connected via single USB-hub cable into MacBook?) change the file's workability, I mean if I'd swap a few controllers into each other's places on the USB hub, would that smoke that preference file's workability whole together then?
THANKS for every reply, Really, REALLY, appreciate it

Control Surfaces compatible with Premiere Pro CC

Hello!
I am starting a new gig and I am building out a edit bay for the project. I have only build a bay with FCP7 so I am a little hesitiant on things like peripherals. Since Control Surfaces are new to support in Premiere please let me know what kind of experience you've all had in working with them. I have had sucess with the Behringer BCF2000 on FCP but I've had my eye on the PreSonus FaderPort.
Can anyone lend any input or experience?
Thanks!

Hi Dan,
Picked up a FaderPort last Wednesday and I'm gonna return it on Monday.
Here's the story. First of all, if just going by the specs, Premiere is not supported by FaderPort.
FaderPort uses either the Mackie HUI or the Mackie Control protocol but it's defaulted to HUI so you have to switch it over yourself, a procedure that is not explained explicitly in the manual.
Once you do that the key mapping is "all weird" and I could not make any sense of it, so after two days of fighting it, I gave up and will return the thing (thank god for the 30-day free return policy in Sweden).
In essence, I would not go for the FaderPort with Premiere.
Honestly speaking, after some research, I am yet to find a control surface that explicitly states full compatibility with Premiere.
I was over on the Avid website and was looking at the Avid Artist Mix compatibility specs, Premiere is not even on the list. Audition is, but there is no functionality listing for it, unlike all the other supported DAWs.
I don't really know why no control surface I've seen explicitly supports Premiere, might be because Premiere only recently got the control surface functionality, but I think that both the surface makers and Adobe need to shape up and iron this out, because I'm not gonna mix a 90 minute dance show video using the mouse for a fader!
Cheers, J

Logic "Analyzing..." issue

I have been getting annoyed with Logic lately. My productivity in sessions has been negatively affected with Logic "Analyzing..." my tracks after every take. Depending on the length of the take the process can take up to 20 seconds or so per track... with 10 tracks of drums this can start to add up..
This issue has only come to surface in the past couple of months and I'm curious to know what has changed. Here is a list of things I have done to adjust my setup recently that may have caused my issue.
1) I updated my tracking template in Logic Pro 9 for creating separate headphone mixes (one for the control room the other for the tracking room); Here I added a number of plugins into my template; waves, drumagog, guitar rig, channel strip presets, etc; I've also noticed a number of items are turned off when "low latency mode" is turned on. Ive tried deleting all channel strip plugins and the issue still occurs.
2) I purchased a new interface (Presonus Firestudio Tube - switching from a Motu8Pre)
Here is a list of my current gear and software:
Computer - Macbook Pro 2.2 Core2Duo; OSX 10.6.7; 4gb ram; 320gb hd;
Software - Logic Pro 9.1.3; Drumagog 5; Reason 3; Waves plugin bundle;
Preamps - Presonus Firestudio Tube; Motu8pre; Art Voice Channel
Misc - Presonus Monitor Station, Presonus Faderport; KRK Rokit's
Does anyone know why this is happening? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you for the reply. I went back through the audio preferences for my template and a few recent projects and all are set to sample rate of 44.1kHz.
I may simply need to reload my Macbook Pro and applications...I just dread this because it will take me probably a good 3 days to get my data transferred and applications configured... plus there is always the possibility that my issue would not be resolved.
I would try a few things before such drastic action:
1) Does the same problem occur if you start from the factory 'Empty" template (ie is this problem your template)?
2) Quit Logic. Go to <user>:Library:Preferences and move the Logic preferences file to the desktop (com.apple.logic.pro.plist). Restart Logic.
There are more things to check...

Controller Interface problems

I recently purchased a Presonus Faderport to make light work of automation and the mixing stage but I have a few niggling problems.
First of all, in Logic, I created a controller surface, then selected Mackie HUI (as specified in the Presonus product manual) and also selected the input as faderport, out port as faderport and flip reverse off. The pan and volume work fine but ultimately, the main reason for getting the faderport was to control the automation parameters. When I move the fader only, the channel strip volume increases instead of the selected automation parameter (lets say for instance I have chorus as an insert and selected chorus intensity as the selected automation parameter).
The current channel strip parameter is set to volume, and send parameter set at destination. Are these at the correct settings?

The problem was solved by bringing Interface controller from Comp B to Comp. A.
We have to import the "Called" component interface controller into the "Caller" Component, using Component Usage definition.
In my understanding, Interface controller works more likely as an Input device than Output.
Then, we have to put this Input device into the Components that are "outputing" data.

Tons of trouble with Logic Studio since day one

Logic 9.1.5
Os 10.6.8
Issue 1:
I haven't touched logic in months because I've hated the fact that I had issues with it to begin that no one could ever solve. My first issue was that certain instruments that were installed couldn't be opened. I was greeted with a message saying something along the lines that that instrument couldn't be found. I had installed everything fresh on an external drive. All options that could be installed on a second drive were installed there. I dont remember the exact name of the issue/error because its been months since I've even opened logic cause its been nothing but a problem for me. I did hours of googling searching and only found one thread of people having the same problem but ended in the guy saying his tech support dude was gonna talk to him and it never go resolved.
Similar to issue one:
There's supposed to be 6 jam packs, but only 2 of them show at the bottom of the Library list. I believe they are: Jam Pack Voices and Jam Pack World Music. I looked up the location of where these jam packs are supposed to install and all 6 of them are there in folders.
Issue 2:
I would LOVE to get this fixed, but I don't even know exactly the issue anymore, so I've kind of gotten over this. I recently opened logic after not touching it for months, after a huge update. I now have this annoying midi issue. It seems as if the midi is CONSTANTLY being triggered on whatever track is being highlighted. But the sound is all distorted. I might be about to shoot a video for you guys to see if that helps. Ive only got 3 peripherals. An axiom 49 midi controller, a presonus faderport, and a m audio fast track ultra 8r...all of which I turned off and unplugged and still had the problem. It happens on old sessions and new sessions. As soon as an instrument is selected, it starts triggering it and cutting into whatever being played.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME if you have any clue on how to resolve either of these issues. I've done SO much research and have found nothing. I only gave up on logic because I haven't ever gotten it to work correctly. When I did mess with it, I enjoyed it. I'm a pro tools guy who wants to expand his options, but this is really causing me to never touch it again.
Ill report the specific error name to the first issue when I see it again. It happens when I'm searching through sounds, Ill go to click on one and itll just pop up saying something about it not being found, or exs24 sampler can't be found or something like that. Though I installed them all on the hard drive...everything. Also, I have tried re-indexed my logic library like everyone suggest and nothing has changed.
If you can help, please do so. If this is in the wrong section, I apologize now.
Update to Issue one:
This is the error message I get one clicking on certain instruments:
"EXS24 instrument "Fingerstyle Electric Bass.exs" not found."
This error happened on my old macbook white and my brand new imac which logic was freshly installed on. Thats two separate systems both exhibiting the same issue. Even on a NEW iMAC! I wonder why no one else is having these issues.
P.S. I copied and past this from another forum on the net (gearslutz) because I wasn't getting any help or suggestions. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have. I can post video clips of any of the issues if anything is unclear.

Update on Issue 2:
I'm actually starting to believe its related to my Faderport. I initially tested to see if it was the problem by unplugging it while logic was on and the problem still occured, but I closed down logic and unplugged it, then started it back up and it seems to be working fine as of now.
