RAX and Logic 8 tempo sync

I installed RAX (virtual stack)so i can run Atmosphere. Been trying everything to get the tempo to sync between the two but no luck. Anybody done it?? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Thanks buddy - firstly, i dont think ypu can rewire RAX. Its basically a standalone plug-in host. The omly reason i use it is to run ATmosphere which is not intel mac compatible ( well its supposed to be but its NOT). The way i run it is to create an IAC Bus ( virtual midi connection) between Logic and RAX and i can trigger the RAX from Logic. For some reason i cant get to automate tempo changes thru Logic into RAX even tho i make all the settings in RAX for ext. tempo sync. Since right now i'm using only Atmosphere, tempo changes really dont matter since most of the sounds are "ambient patches". But if i am using arpegiatted sounds and there are tempo changes in the song, i cannot trigger the tempo changes in RAX. Am sure there is something in the LOGIC environment that i'm supposed to do but i cant figure it out.

Reason beat tempo not syncing with Logic Tempo???

Hi,
Made a beat in Reason 5
Exported loop at 137 bpm and saved to external hard drive.
Imported loop into Logic with Logic tempo set at 137 bpm.
Set the metronome on for recording. Pressed record and and beat & metronome are out of sync.
I used beat detection to try find the tempo (said it was 137.1672 or something) yet still the metronome & beat go out of sync...
Any ideas?
I'm going to try saving the beat to the internal harddrive and see if that is the problem.
The external hard drive is USB not firewire.
Hope you can help me...

to bring your reason audio into logic in perfect sync, open reason as a rewire slave to logic and set up a logic aux track input to reason L&R. Set your locators in logic to the loop length and bounce (with "add to audio bin" enabled so its easy to drag it into your song). This locks the 2 clocks together. Which drive your audio is on is irrelevant.

Anyone got Pro Tools 8 and Logic 8 to sync together?

Hi all - I have read the forums over at DUC (digidesign) regarding syncing Logic and PT via IAC on the same machine and via Network Midi or via midi ports on a 003. I have been unable to slave Logic to Protools 8 both on the same machine (using IAC) or running Logic 8 from a laptop connected via Network Midi, or via the midi ports on a 003.
The threads on this (working) seem to reflect the use of Pro tools 7.4.2 and earlier, not Pro Tools 8. I am looking for any user who has managed to get Pro Tools 8 and Logic 8 to sync together (either on separate machines, or the same machine). If so, I would appreciate a step by step on what you have done to achieve sync between the two programs, since I have now exhausted all of the solutions posted over at DUC.
I am running PT8 LE with a 003 on a MacPro Quad, and Logic 8 on a Macbook Pro. Thanks in advance.

Ok after more testing I have managed to get this working using a direct midi connection between the 003 and the laptop (using a Edirol UM1 and the 003). Here is what I did.
ProTools8LE as master running on MacPro:
1. Setup->Session
1a. Set the session start time to 00:00:00:00
1b. Time code rate =25
2. Setup->Peripherals
2a. Synchronization - MTC reader Port: Digi 003, Port 1
MTC Generator Port: Digi 003, Port 1
3. Set session tempo (eg: 120bpm)
4. Transport- hit the arrow on the right hand side of the transport window and select "Synchronization" then hit the GEN MTC button
LOGIC slave running on Laptop.
1. Connect MIDI i/o interface to ports on 003
2. Set session tempo to match that in PT (120bpm)
3. Settings->Synchronization
Sync mode = MTC
Auto Enable External Sync = yes
Frame Rate = 25 (same as protools)
Auto detect format of MTC = yes
Bar position 1111 plays at SMPTE 00:00:00:00 (this matches the setting in PT)
Thats it. This setup appears to be working on my rig. I still haven't got this to work over Network midi, and I still haven't got PT8LE and Logic 8 to work together on the same machine. Let me know how you go.

Hard drive crashed on my MacBook pro and had to replace drive and logic board. When I connect my iPhone and try to sync I get a dialog box stating iPhone is synced with another iTunes library, erase and sync? How do I sync with iTunes without erasing?

Hard drive crashed and had to replace drive and logic board on my MacBook pro. After Install tried to sync with my iPhone and a dialog box pops up stating "this iPhone synced with another iTunes library, erase and sync?". I checked the manually manage music and videos box because I don't want all my wife's pics and music on my iPhone. How do I Sync without erasing what I have on my iPhone???

How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

Record video into finalcut and audio multitrack into logic in sync

Hi,
I'm an experienced logic user but new to video.
What is the best way to record video and audio multitrack!! synchronously?
Can I record video direct to my harddisc and synchronously record audio into logic or soundtrack pro? We have two separate macs available.
-Can I connect finalcut with logic via rewire or do I need additional sync hardware?
-How can I start record simultaneously for finalcut and logic?
-Do I need finalcut pro?
-Can I record video and audio directly and simultaneously into soundtrack pro or finalcut?
I currently work with a cutter who uses canopus but assign each video take to each audio take is so time consuming. There must be a better solution for video production.
Any feedback appreciated,
Thanks Eddie

I may be wrong about this, but AFAIK…
Can I record video direct to my harddisc and synchronously record audio into logic or soundtrack pro?
No.
-Can I connect finalcut with logic via rewire or do I need additional sync hardware?
FCP is not ReWire compatible.
-How can I start record simultaneously for finalcut and logic?
You can not.
-Do I need finalcut pro?
Maybe, but I can't say one way or the other. What is your goal with video?
-Can I record video and audio directly and simultaneously into soundtrack pro or finalcut?
You can record directly into FCP, either via FW or SDI (if you have supporting hardware)
I currently work with a cutter who uses canopus but assign each video take to each audio take is so time consuming. There must be a better solution for video production.
Not familiar with Canopus, so I can't comment.
Any feedback appreciated,
Some editors find the term "cutter" to be an unfair characterization of what they do. We do waaaaay more than just cut out the bad takes!

Audio loops tempo sync

Hi,
Is it possible to load a loop in logic 8 which can automatically auto sync to the tempo like in ableton live ?
I red on the manual that in order to be tempo synced, a loop must be :
-apple loop format
-bounce from logic and saved in the audio bin.
So, If I import an standard audio loop (Wav or AIFF), I must put it first in the arrange page, convert it in an apple loop or bounce the track and import again from the audio bin and erase the first imported loop ?
What a waste of time !
Am I correct ?

How can I match tempo & sync of old audio files to Garageband?

HI all,
Final question and it's a doozy. While I know the "general concepts" for trying to accomplish the following, acutally trying to get it to work is frustrating. At first thought that the new Garageband tempo/playing thing would work but I'm not being successful. Perhaps there are better programs for this. I am moderately aware of the beat/slicing/tempo tap programs -- I just don't have the lets-do-it-detail to make it work. Here is the goal.
#0 - New DAW file is created in either Garageband or Logic Pro.
#1 - I have old stereo MP3 and AIFF files digitally dubbed from old cassettes, some recorded 30 and 20 years ago. Most were recorded to click track or drum machine. Newer tracks are MIDI but my first tracks are purely audio.
#2 - I drag an audio file (MP3 or AIFF) into either Garageband or Logic Pro. The track becomes an audio track.
#3 -- I need to edit off the beginnings of these tracks. If Garagebands new tempo sync thing is enabled, you can't seem to do this. Once the track is playing -- the tempo should be moderately consistently (The originals often used a Roland TR 707 ??? drum machine). However, the tempo might not be perfect and I might need flexibility.
So, how do I ACTUALLY DO THIS?
#4 - The goal is to get the NEW song template to match it's tempo to the audio track. The song now has the correct tempo that (hopefully) perfectly matches the original track.
#5 - If this works, the old audio track is like an old temp track that is frozen in place.
#6 - I record new fresh tracks against this backing tracking. Voila, I have a newly semi-produced or at least recorded song based on the old recording.
Sounds easy but the devil is in the tricky details. Thanks for any tips, suggestions, references to forums, blogs, YouTube videos or books.
I am open to other software as well.
Thanks in advance. I'll stop bothering you after this. :-)

Attach your welcome audio to an object that is not seen (e.g. a highlight box set to 0%) and use your Advanced Actions and variables to HIDE this object ON SLIDE ENTER if the user returns to the same Menu slide at a later point in the course module.
This should mean that the first time the user gets to that slide, the audio will play. But all subsequent times they return to that slide, the object will be immediately hidden on entering the slide, which will mean that the audion does not play and all the user sees are the menu options.
Your alternate strategy would be to have two slides that look almost the same. The first one has the audio, and the second one doesn't. Your TOC item for Menu, and any other links in the project that point to the Menu, would go to the second slide without audio. The user will be none the wiser as long as you work out the navigation.

Can I rewire GarbageBand2 and Logic Express 7?

Can I rewire (I mean using the Rewire Program) GarbageBand2 and Logic Express 7? Can either one be master and the other slave? My first guess is that I would like to go as far as I can with GB2 as the master and then make Logic Express 7 the master and create a multi-tempo song with perhaps other editing possible through Logic Express.

I got into garageband because, I, a songwriter, have a song for which I want to make a good demo. I am still trying to learn GarageBand. I would stay with GarageBand the whole way except that the song has two tempos and GarageBand can't do it. Thus I am buying Logic Express. But I don't want to learn anymore about Logic Express than I have to, to get the job done. I will stay in GarageBand as much as I can.
Unfortunately, even if I can get my multi-tempoed song back into GarageBand with rewire, GarageBand can't handle the two tempos. So, for that reason, I have to write this off as a learning experience.

Logic Control and Logic Pro 9.1.0

I'm running Logic Pro 9.1.1 and Logic Control V1.02 which makes it mackie control.
Today i set it up with Logic and noticed a few things:
1. The level reading on the Logic Control's display is choppy...meaning if i raise a fader really slowly the display levels also rise slowly synced with on the onscreen faders. However if i move the faders a bit faster, the Logic Control display reading is very choppy--it always settles at the right level, but the changes are jumpy. Is this usual ? This was not the case with Logic 7.
2. A few times the locator bar jumped forward missing beats, as if stop/play were pressed repeatedly. I rebuilt defaults and now it seems to be working fine, This used to happen to me in Logic Pro 7 as well, maybe its a fault with my controller. Anyone ever experience this ?
Thanks
Faisal

Cowbell, my experience has been different.
I tried the Logic Control mode but things were really wierd, some buttons not working, then the whole control lost contact with logic till i re-launched.
The Scroll bar jumping thing was happening a lot more often.
Then i deleted LC, trashed preferences and re-booted in Mackie Control mode.
Still strangeness and i went did the check TOUCHLESS FADER thing and all is working fine now which is WEIRD!!!!!! I think i may have a defect in the jog wheel/transport section but its all working fine for now.
I'll give it a few days.
Thanks !!

How to time stretch a 2 bar audio loop to fit logic tempo, please help

hi, i can match the logic tempo to fit the audio loop ok.
But say if i have a song which is 84.7153 tempo.
I have a 2 bar audio loop that i want to incorporate. The audio loop is a little faster than my logic tempo, so i just want it to fit exactly in two cycled logic bars.
Ive just managed to do it pretty close, in recycle, manually.
But can i do this in logic? Audio factory or something?
Ive been using logic for years, and ive never exlplored logics audio depths.
can someone help?
thankyou.

Use the Apple Loops Utility
http://www.digimixstudios.net/sd1al/
In my 3rd video here, I show how to use the Apple Loops Utility. Very simple.
The 4th video shows bringing the apple loop I just created, into a Logic 8 project.
Notice how I change the tempo and the apple loop stays within the 4 bar beat.

Timing problems with AU Ivory Piano + ESB and Logic 7.2

I have problems with Ivory and Logic 7.2:
The Ivory (AU version 1.50) plays well in tempo, but when I want to bounce (export track as audio file) the Ivory plays totally out of tempo.
Even when I touch the record button on audio tracks or when I want to record my mix on 2 audiotracks, the Ivory plays out of tempo.
Even freezing the Ivory track gives the same problem.
Then I need to go back to my last saved version.
The same actions with Emagic, Native Instruments and Spectrasonics AU plugins, and everything works fine.
I throwed away already the Ivory prefs, no positive results.
My Ivory sample files are on a separate 400 GB internal disk, and my Audio I'm recording on a external Glyph disk.
I think I have this problem since I've upgraded from Logic 7.1.1 to 7.2 but I'm not sure. I didn't worked long with Logic 7.1.1.
I don't work in Protools, but I use the DAE and Direct TDM (no Core Audio)
It happens in the most simple application: no DAE or AU plug-ins, only one Ivory AU plug-in.
This is my configuration:
Ivory AU (Audio object-Direct TDM-Instr) output ESB 1-2 -> input ESB1 2 (Audio Object-DAE) -> Output 1-2 of my digidesign interfaces
Ivory becomes totally unusable for me this way. Is someone having the same problems?
Suggestions?

Logic 7.2

G5 dual 2,7 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 4 GB RAM

I tried already a lot of things, but it is very clear:
1. Instantiating Ivory as AU- Ivory plays in tempo
2. Record enable an audio track in the arrange window - Ivory plays out of tempo
This happens with the default song of logic, no other plugins or AU-instruments are instanciated.
I can not find a way to convert my Ivory-midi to audio without the timing problems;
Bouncing, freezing, record to audio, export as audio file: all those things result in timing problems.
I tried this all with emagic plugins (ES2...) and Native Instruments plugins and then I don't have the tempo problem

Ovi Suite and Windows Contacts sync problem.

The sync process randomly misses phone numbers (Phone -> Windows).
I tried removing all the contacts into the Windows library and restarting the sync, but the same problem happen.
Any idea?

Dear Marina,
You said "So this issue is more like a Window Contacts application limitation".
I disagree; This is the limitation of the imagination and experience your developers have.
How stupid should someone be, not be able to figure a simple logic that if a damn field is not available, use any !^%@$# Windows Contacts field which is available?
When your software cannot do a one to one matching of the fields, Nokia Suite shouldn't even call it Sync with contacts application, and place Windows Contacts as an option!
Windows Contacts syncing has always been a way for people to share their contacts among devices! What you have done is proven how dumb your software developers can be!
A simple, very simple solution is to fill in any field which is available to at least maintain the integrity of the data!
A little more intelligent solution, which might be too much for Nokia's developers, is to try and fill in Work or Home fields and then force fill in the fields it couldn't find. This way a contact with only a "Telephone" number, will at least have a number saved!
Did that sound harsh? It is really irritating when you see how simple logic gets ignored, rendering an application that has had its roots around for decades, useless.

Virus B and Logic Pro 7 trouble

I cannot get Logic to see my Virus B... I have a G5 Dual 2.7, a MOTU Midi Timepiece AV, an Orbit V2 and the Virus, (also an 828) there is no problem with the Orbit, but nothing is getting to the Virus. In Digital Performer everything works great, the Virus plays just fine. Since getting Logic my studio has gotten smaller, (LOVE Sculpture, Ultrabeat and ES2) but the Virus is my fav hardware synth, so this is frustrating. I have quite a few years experience dealing with midi/computer challenges and I KNOW my connections are correct - is there some weird issue between the Virus and Logic? Can anyone share any insights?

OKAY! I reset my interface, (Midi Timepiece AV) and build a new set-up for it - and that seems to have taken care of it! SO NOW IT WORKS!!! Still, the on-board sequencer on the Virus B is not yet synced to Logic, but I am sure I can figure that out. I tried every suggestion made (and a few others) and it seems that re-setting the interface was the cure, which seems odd considering that all worked well in DP, before I did the reset.
Thanks you guys! I really appreciate it!!!
Still, looking back over the years I wish I could get back alll of the hours/days I have spend under my desk chasing midi cables... it should not be this difficult, even though for the most part it has gotten easier.
That said, Logic is the Kind! Thanks again for the help!

Virus TI and Logic

Anyone using Virus TI and Logic? For me it's working pretty well, (love the Virus sound!!!) but I am getting some odd sync issues... timing on the arpeggiated patches seems to shift a bit - I am using the USB input for sync...

I asked the same question recently. Have a look at this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=927334&tstart=0

Ipod is not recognized by iTunes and will not sync

When trying to sync my ipod up with iTunes, it is not recognized as a device by iTunes and cannot be synced up. Any ideas? Thanks.

I had this issue. Basically, iPhoto would recognize my iPod Touch and my wife's iPhone, but iTunes would not. Thus, I knew it was not the USB cable or ports.
In one forum, I tried something and it worked.
In Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor, I stopped iTunes Helper.
Then I downloaded and reinstalled a fresh copy of iTunes.
Once I restarted iTunes and plugged in my devices, they appeared just like they used to.
Hope this helps.
