Problem with levels/meters in logic pro 7.2.2

Hopefully someone knows the answer to my problem.
I've loaded a wavefile that is peaking at 0, very compressed, limited, mastered etc..
For some reason, the audio track level meter shows that it's peaking at -3, and -3 on the master as well.
If i run the track through a bus, it knocks off another 3db at the bus and shows up on the bus and the master at -6db
This problem is becoming very frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you explain to me what the pan law setting means?
My guess is that it's something to do with when 2 mono tracks are made stereo they probably add 3 db per channel and need reduction? Just a hunch
I searched the reference manual but wasn't able to find it.

Did anybody had problems with the update of logic pro x to the version 10.0.1? In my app store says that "an error has ocurred".

Hi, I have just updated to logic 10.0.1 version that has some bug fixes.
Unfortunately my app store keeps saying that an error ocurred because I left my logic open during the update process.
How can I reinstal this update?

Quit Logic and Quit the Mac App Store App
Restart your Mac
Now try again.
If that doesn't work, Quit Logic Pro X.. delete the Logic Pro X app from the applications folder and downlada and install Logic Pro X again using the Purchased Tab in the Mac App Store App.

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

The question mark means the computer cannot find a bootable volumes so can;t do anything, That, combined with annoying sounds, strongly suggests a failed hard drive.
You can ask a "genius" at an Apple Rtail Store to test it but I'm pretty sure the drive is kaput. I'm hoping you had your data backed up.

Why are there so many problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro ???

Hi everybody out there using Mac Pro's early 2008,
I found out there is a lot of problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro.
My early 2008 Mac Pro has been repaired ones under warranty and now it stopped working again ! Also see under: Mac Pro early 2008 no chime and does not start up. Why is this ????
It worked well for about 2 years and then it just fails and i had this failing issue twice already !!! Is this just a BAD Apple product or how do you think I need to approach this. Let’s face it, these machine don’t come cheap and you at least expect them to work without problems for 4-5 years. What is happening here ???
Cheers, Kavango

go to a black screen after 15 minutes or a couple hours
That is probably an indication that you need to find a new graphics card.
RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

Problems with my printer HP Officejet pro 8600 Plus + Yosemite

Hi got problems with my printer HP Officejet pro 8600 Plus till I installed Yosemite it is not recognized so what can I do now.. No new drivers found by HP

Thanks for this AnnRT!
I've spent the best part of a day trying to figure this out. Everything was fine and then one day nothing worked! I have narrowed the issue down to Bonjour via WiFi as everything worked fine via USB, and via IP over WiFi.
I've now set a static IP for the printer and things seem to be working fine again
Thanks!

Problems with Dinamic Link between Premiere pro CC and After Effects CC

I'm having serious problems with dinamic link between premiere pro and after effects, really serious problems that have 2 big projects in trouble (a documentary and a video clip) and I had to redo all the work pipeline to the consumer.
The documentary for a spanish TV was made on CC 2014 and a video clip was made on CC. Both of them with a lot of after effects composition in the premiere pro timeline. Render freeze, a lot of playback issues, and many more problems... Until I decided to remove these links between premiere and after effects and render out all the after effects compositions one by one and insert as clips in premiere pro. 1 week working away with back and fourth.
I've got a huge workstation:
i7 4990
32Gb ram
GTX780 3gb
256 gb system ssd
2 Tb project storage
*All my hardware and software are update.
I know that a lot of folks are on the same huge problem and I want to ask everyone:
How do you save this?
What is your pipeline?
Are there any solution?
Best practice to use dinamic link in a huge project?
Thanks,
Ruben Gimenez.

Thank You, Jim -
Unfortunately that specifically did not work.
Based on another comment sent to me, here is what did.
In PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > New After Effects Composition
In AECC
From that composition created from PPro, I imported the project (aep) initially created in AECC from another team member. Saved the file.
Back in PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition
Magic.

What is the problem with fonts changing to myriad pro? Is this problem ever going to be resolved? Its driving me mad!

What is the problem with fonts changing to myriad pro? Is this problem ever going to be resolved? Its driving me mad!

Browser Dog, Amy,
The default font remains Myriad Pro until you change it, either in the RGB/CMYK Startup files or in the preferences, options depending on versions.
Concerning missing font names, I believe this may solve it:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.
It was first presented in this post #15 by TheUlser:

I have two problems with my 2012 13” MacBook Pro.
Gray screen shows at startup
Randomly disconnects from network.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

First, open Terminal in your Utilities folder and paste this into the prompt line:
sudo update_dyld_shared_cache
Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed to the screen. Press RETURN again.
Next, boot the computer into Safe Mode.
Next, do the following:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Mixing in Logic, problems with levels!

Mixing problem here: I can’t figure out how to get all my equipment/ software levels correct to get an accurate level/ sound. I use Logic Pro 7 on a Mac dual G5, my sound card is MOTU and my monitors (2) are Event 20/20 BAS. Here’s the problem I believe that something is too low and I am compensating in the somewhere else and I am getting distortion in my mix downs- but I can barely hear the song. Here are my levels/ gains:
Logic Main Mixdown track: 0.0 dB
MOTU Main out: -34 db
Event Monitors input level: 7 (max is 10)
My plug-ins and such are at the level that I load them at, I don’t mess with the gains on these too much.
Should I turn something down and turn something else up so that I can actually mix correctly? Thank you for your help!

Hi.
I have the same problem as you. I have a dual 2.7 G5 mac using a PCI MOTU 424 with a 2408 mk3 interface. Before I updated my Logic software to 7.2, The audio seemed to work fairly deccently as far as levels. I even utilize a Presonus Digimax LT via adat pipeline into the MOTU which in the past has worked great to attenuate levels digitally and Logic and MOTU worked seemlessly BUT ever since the new intel revolution, I have noticed tons of problems with the universal version of Logic. So far I would say maybe at least 30 features doesn't work properly anymore with Logic 7.2 and 7.2.1. Seems like with each new updates, the version gets worse and worse with more problems for my G5 mac. Example, Bouncing audio. Several of my settings such as plugins, levels, crossfades getting skipped or ignored and at times even crashes. I also have other issues like cracks and pops in my audio recordings lately which really is beginning to **** me off to no end. My adat transfered audio has weird pops added to the audio when transfered digitally which it didn't do before. I also noticed several playback functions that are very unstable. Some of my song files wont even play back!! My levels are no longer accurate anymore when recording in Logic. I have to crank my presonus levels just to barely hear my guitar tracks being recorded which I didn't have to do in previous versions, which also means more hisses and noises added. Apple seriously needs to correct these issues with Logic especially when we have to pay for bad updates.
Scary thing is Logic 7.2.1 seems to run much smoother using the built in audio on my 2.0 intel macbook than my dual 2.7 G5 with my MOTU gear.

I cant get my Axiom 25 to work with my MacBook in Logic Pro 8. Anyone ?

I have an M-Audio Axiom 25 and I cant get it to work in logic pro 8. Its plugged in... I have a new project open... I have an instrument assigned to a track...when I press the keys on the axiom Logic recognizes it because on the bottom of the window I see the note I'm pressing as well as it's velocity... This is exactly as I do on my roommate's MacBook Pro every day with the same keyboard... But none the less I don't get sound... even if i just click the piano roll... The levels for the track remain at zero all the time... Whereas on my roommate's computer I would be jamming... What is wrong??? PLEASE!!! SOMEONE HELP ME!!!
O Yeah! I tried to download the latest drivers from M-Audio but there website just led to a dead end... And 10.5.1 was there latest version anyway... Can some send me a hyperlink to a location where I can actually download it from??? It would be greatly aprechiated...

According to M-Audio's website you don't need a driver. If you click on the link that they have there this message pops up:
'This device is class compliant and does not require driver support for OS X.'
As for your other problem.....Dunno. Make sure you check the audio device preferences in Logic. Your roommates might be set for that piece but yours might not.
Good Luck!

Problems with Presonus Firestudio and Logic

I am having problems with compatability with my brand new Presonus Firestudio recording interface and Logic pro 8. I am new to logic but not to home recording, and i cant understand what might be the problem. When i use the firestudio with garageband it works easily. In the garageband sound preferences there are input AND output channels that the user can define. (i.e. you can set your input channels to come from the firestudio while the output channels go to the computer speakers or headphone jacks or whatever you define it as).
From what i have seen in logic, there is only one option for your audio settings. when in preferences and under audio, there is a "device" setting in which you can define your audio device. Wheather this is input AND output for the program, i do not know. but the problem i am experiencing is that whenever i choose the firepod as the input device, no sound from logic will play from the speakers whatsoever. My first thought was that maybe ouput was going straight to the firestudio, but after plugging headphones into it this also did not work. Has anyone had success getting their firestudio to work in logic? if so let me know what settings you had to use, and how you got to moniter your input from from the firestudio via your computer.
p.s.
another WIERD problem i have run into, is that if i shut off the firestudio while logic is open, alot of times it will shut down my whole computer. i have never heard of this happening. what am i doing wrong?
thanks!

ah, I was hoping to find my solution here, but alas the thread is gone...
I recently bought a Macbook running Leopard, and am having difficulties with my PreSonus Firestudio Project thru Logic and Mainstage. I can get audio input and output just fine, but there's a ton of distortion/crackle. Kickstarting the sample rate seems to clear it up for a minute or two, but then the crackle comes back. The recorded tracks sound clean if I unplug the Firestudio, so apparently it's only in the monitoring stage?
On the PreSonus board, they're claiming it's Apple who needs to update drivers for Leopard; PreSonus says the "Firestudio Project is Leopard compatible."

Problem with midi on my Macbook pro

Ok, so i've been having this problem for a while now...i came on the forums before and asked about it, and people said to get more RAM...so i've done that...
Before I thought it was a CPU issue, but now i'm realizing it has something to do with MIDI.
I have Pro Tools and Logic on my computer, and whenever I load a MIDI instrument into either program, the CPU usage goes way up...way more than it should. I don't know why this is happening. Right now I only have one piano loaded in Pro Tools and it's taking up so much CPU that the sound cuts in and out. In Logic, the CPU bar goes all the way up.
Does anyone have a solution for this? It's got something to do with the midi...if i bounce the midi track to make it an audio track it works fine. Also, if i restart the computer or close & open the program again it tends to work a little better for a limited amount of time...
I'm running a 2.2 Ghz 2007 Macbook Pro with 4 GB Ram that i recently put in. I have a lot of the MIDI sounds on an external hard drive, but both the external sounds and sounds that are on the computer itself have the same problem.
Thanks,
TJ

Need some help with strange sounds in Logic Pro 8

Hi!
I need some help with a problem I have in Logic Pro 8.
When I have arrange window open, suddley strange high tones starts to make noise in my headphones. I don't know where these sounds comes from or why, but I need some help to get them away. Should I just try to contact Apple?
Martin

Hi Martin
Welcome to the forum. Give everyone here some more info about your set up otherwise it may be difficult to figure out what is wrong.
Which mac?
Which OS?
any hardware devices?
if you are listening through headphones using the built in audio from the mac, you may be hearing fan noise or a hard drive spin noise.
