  • How to record guitar in Logic Pro 8

    Hi,
    Well, I´ve got a Mac Mini, Logic Pro 8, Audio Kontrol 1 audio interface, and an acoustic guitar. What I would like to do is to record my guitar songs into Logic Pro 8 and add other sound effects. My problem is, however, that I can´t figure out how to record guitar using Logic Pro 8. In the "Preferences" I choose "Core Audio" as device. I connect my guitar into the audio interface (Audio Kontrol 1) and from the audio interface to my Mac Mini using an USB.
    When I start playing, Logic Pro is silent. When I record, there is no sound. What is even more strange is that GarageBand is working perfect! So I guess it has something to do with the settings in Logic Pro 8. So, I ask you guys...do you know have to solve this problem? If so, I would be very grateful!
    Best regards,
    Tor

    Thanks guys!
    I will try this as soon as I come home!
    I will let you know how it works.

    Well, I mentioned the aggregate audio device since I saw this article. Is this possible for me? Why should I do this?

  • Guitar Presets - Logic Express 7.2

    Is there a place that I can get more guitar presets for logic express without having to buy a plugin prgram like Guitar Rig2. Also, I find that the presets in Garageband sound better than the presets in Logic. Is there something I'm missing?
    Intel iMac 1.83   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1gb ram

    I don't know of any places to download some, but I do have to agree that I like the sound of the Garageband AMP simulators better than Logic's.
    You could check this forum for some.
    http://logicprohelp.com/
    Or a trick I like to do is to Bus a clean guitar signal to 3 Aux or Bus tracks, then put amp simulators on all three, then blend them all together to where I like it. I got the idea after reading an interview on how Adam Jones of TOOL made his guitar signal. 3 amps with an SM57, a Sennheiser 421, and another mic that they felt they needed, on each cabinet. Here's the article, it's really good for someone who likes producing and engineering.

  • Recording audio (vocals and acoustic guitar) on logic for youtube.

    hey guys, im looking to post some videos on youtube, but instead of just simple playing into a camera, i want the audio to be recorded into my mic.
    an example of what i'd like to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieu3jSr_CDA
    then i can input the audio into the video.
    how do i play my guitar live with my vocals though?
    please help me !!!

    The poor man's way:
    1. get your mic and guitar plugged into separate channel strips in Logic (I think the guy in the YouTube video had a pickup in his acoustic, and was running that into his DAW, and the vocal mic was a separate track
    2. have your camera set up and ready to go, and Logic ready to record the vocal and guitar
    3. start record on video and Logic
    4. clap your hands a few times before starting your song .... helps for syncing up later
    5. mix down and bounce your logic audio to a stereo file
    6. in iMovie (or the like), with your video track open and in place, import your audio track
    7. manually "slide" your logic audio back and forth in time until it syncs with your video
    8. post online and wait for MTV calls

  • Setting up guitar with Logic Pro X

    Greets everyone...
    I am a new user for Logic Pro X... and I am excited to try the Amps and Pedals etc.
    Here's my sheet shot of what I have presenrtly
    I can see that there are several options for sounds and tones, but what I am wondering is this... when I plug my guitar into "insert one" (PreSonus AudioBox 44VSL) I immediately here a clean tone... but, when I select a "crunch tone" I still hear that 'clean' tone along with my 'crunch' tone.
    How do I rid myself of that clean tone so I can hear the effects (crunch tones, etc.)?
    Thank you in advance for your help and assistance!

    Hi
    It sounds like you are hearing the Presonus "Direct" or Input monitoring... check the manual for the "Mixer Knob" etc.

  • I am unable to get sound using apogee jam with my guitar. I can see input levels but no sound. What step am I missing?

    I am unable to get any sound using apogee jam with my guitar in logic pro 9. I am using Macbook pro.

    I think I have done something wrong. I used my Apogee Jam on a guitar project with several audio tracks in Logic Pro 9. And while the Apogee Jam still was connected, I switched to another project with only instrument tracks (synths). I forgot to change the "Built In Input". After I did this, my guitar sounds like crap when I try to use Apogee Jam in the same guitar project, or also if I create a new project. I use Guitar Rig 5 (Native Instruments) as my guitar plug-in. But the guitar sounds strange even if I don´t assign Guitar Rig.
    Can somebody help me?

  • Help required: Guitar to USB Lead cuts all sound

    Hi, I'm having a small problem I'm hoping someone clever here might have a quick solution to:
    I recently bought this Guitar to USB lead:
    http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=225789
    And plugged it into my MacBook after booting up Logic. The problem is that
    when the lead is plugged in it cuts all sound from Logic - i.e. I cannot
    hear any other tracks playing, nor indeed the guitar sound itself (but
    other applications such as Safari do have sound). Logic is recognising the
    lead's input, the levels go up when I strum the guitar and I can record the
    guitar as audio into Logic. But I cannot hear the recorded guitar parts or
    anything else until I remove the USB lead. Which makes the thing pretty
    useless really...unless of course I'm being useless (a likely outcome).
    So, can anyone supply a reason why plugging in this USB to guitar lead into
    a Macbook with Logic is cutting all sound from Logic?
    Thanks
    (I bought this lead because I wanted a simple and cheap plug-and-play to connect my guitar to Logic - if someone has another solution for this then I'd also be interested in hearing that - thanks!)

    I'm pretty sure an Aggregate device -WILL- work. In fact I know you have to use one.
    Make sure your Aggregate device uses the Built-in audio OUT as the master clock device.
    Also, If your USB guitar shows up as both an input and output device in aggregate setup -do not- include the output device newly created aggregate device.

  • Logic Pro X won't record from USB or builtin audio devices

    I have a M-Audio Fast Track and I've overcome the bugs regarding audio input and Mavericks by using a new mac and upgrading to Logic Pro X.  Now I have a new issue which I think is unrelated.
    I can hear the guitars in Logic Pro X when I turn the monitor on.  The track shows input levels, my guitar plugins work.  When I hit record I can record software instruments but when I try to record guitars or vocals nothing is ever recorded.  I even unplugged the M-Audio Fast Track and tried the mic input on the mac and have gotten the same results.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

  • Electric Guitar Feedback

    Ok... i dont know what is going on...
    I have a Stratocaster Standard going into an Apogee Duet...
    I normally try to keep the input levels mid level with an acoustic but for some reason when I try to record an electric guitar into Logic's Guitar Simulation Plug-Ins I get feedback on high distortion settings... How the heck am I getting computer simulated feedback with no real amp to point my guitar at?
    I've done a little tweaking to some of the high distortion tone settings and whenever I lower the amps master volume feedback goes away or if i lower the microphone simulation on the amp the feedback goes away. But since these are logic's presets... aren't they pre-made settings to use with an electric guitar?? Yet I'm getting horrible feedback with these "presets"
    Any ideas?

    hey.
    im using the exact same setup as you also but running the output to a fender blues deluxe 410.
    i have the same issues when using the higher gain amps. i think the thing is that feedback may be unavoidable, but i am going to look into it a bit more.
    also, eventhough we are using a virtual amp, if the output is to a speaker with high power, the emf from the speaker will find its way back into your pickups so it is really the same as a real guitar setup.

  • Direct input guitar latency issue

    So I have a brand new iMac 20" 2.66 GHZ /4Gb ram and an M-audio firewire 410. I have my guitar plugged direct and there is a delay in the monitor. If I match my guitar volume it sounds like slap delay. It is really annoying and I would like to know what I need to do to fix it. It is the same deal if I use a mic. HElp!@!#%!!

    Hi,
    first, you have to understand what latency is. Latency is not only the latency of the Audio Interfaces A/D Converters, but the whole chain of signal flow and processing from input to output.
    So, when you plug your guitar into an amp with cabinet, the chain is pretty short. Almost light speed That's because nearly all circuits in an amp are analog. The biggest latency you'll get with this setup is the time the sound takes to travel from the speaker to your ears.
    Now you play through a computer - and maybe through some awsome plugins that will make your guitar sound like B.B.'s Lucille itself. There the latency is:
    1st: A/D Converters. Some are faster, some slower. But most modern Interfaces, even the simple "audio in" plug of your mac, are fast enough so that you won't hear much of a delay. You will hear it, but it will be very, very, very short. It may be longer, of course, if your buffer size is bigger. Set the buffer to 256 or lower. Try 128 or evenlower - but maybe thats the point where logic starts to huff and puff.
    2nd: Now comes the big part: The channelstrip in logic with all it's plugins&gizmos. Let's say: Guitar Amp pro. Let's say: Reverb. Add a compressor and a channel EQ and maybe another one of your choice. The faster your computer is, the faster the signal will make it's way through all this stuff, but nevertheless it is a "long and winding road", since the signal has to be digitally processed. So if you play your guitar through logic with even only some plugins, you'll hear a significant latency, which might sound like a slap delay or tape delay.
    3rd: Ahh - thats not even all. Maybe Logic also has to synchronize with some other tracks, plugins in the main channelstrip, busses and so on. Of course, there is a "low latency" button which turns off the most time-hungry plugins, but don't expect miracles.
    So, if you want to record your guitar and want to hear it 1:1 as you play, don't use software monitoring (don't listen to the logic output of your guitar), but use a hardware monitoring. Most Interfaces have a balance knob where you can quickly mix the output from direct monitoring to computer output as you want. Don't know if the M-Audio has this feature, though.
    Or, for recording, just turn off all plugins and make sure only the tracks are activated you really need to hear.
    Cheers, Fox

  • Logic pro 8 won't transpose

    I have recorded a track of guitar into Logic Pro. I want to drop the pitch by an octave. I have changed the transposition on the channel strip in the Inspector to -12, but it doesn't affect the pitch whatsoever. In fact changing the transposition values seems to have no affect on the audio at all. What am I missing?

    Hey, Problem solved!
    Indeed, that matters.
    Only within Logic recorded Audio tracks have this saught-after checkbox "follow tempo".
    However, no problem if you got a track from someone else. You just have to re-record it within Logic.
    There are two Options. I prefer this one:
    - Assign a Bus to the output of the audio track you have.
    - Make a new audio track and assign this Bus as its input.
    - Set this new track into record mode, place your playhead properly and hit record.
    - The newly created audio track will have the checkbox "follow tempo" in the inspector.
    This, however, just works in realtime. Another option is to bounce the original track and import it into your bin. CAUTION: the "normalize" option MUST NOT be checked in the bounce dialog! If it IS, the "follow tempo" option won't be available afterwards!
    Hope this helps somebody,
    Cheers,
    Stefan.

  • Guitar in audio input?

    I have a new iMac running 10.5.2 and am having trouble connecting my guitar directly to the mac using logic express. It all works fine with garageband but I can neither hear or record my guitar in logic.
    Please Help

    Did you select and activate! the audio driver in Logic?
    Are you trying to record on an audio track?
    Do you arm the track to hear your guitar before to record it?
    cheers

  • Logic Pro X and Reason 7 Rewire Sync Issues

    Hello,
    I'm running logic pro X (V10.07) and Reason V7.01 (in rewire slave mode).
    My drum tracks come from reason, and I've recorded bass and guitar in logic.
    My issue: When I play back the track FROM LOGIC, the drums are out of sync with the music. It's in the milliseconds but definitely noticeable and makes everythign sound...off.
    Oddly, when I play back the track from Reason (I start it using the Reason transport, rather than Logic Pro X), the track sounds fine.
    I've attached a screenshot of my Logic Pro X preferences. Not sure what to do here -- when I bounce the track down, it's the same as if I start it from the logic transport (i.e. the music and beats are out of sync).

    Resolved. Turns out my version of Reason needed an update.

  • Vintage or Twangy Guitar??

    When I select the "Vintage Guitar", I get "Twangy Guitar" sounds. What gives? LP9, Snow Leopard, MacBook Pro, 4gb. Thanx.

    What is "vintage guitar"..? A channel strip? An EXS instrument? A plugin setting for the ES2? An Apple Loop?
    Because looking at my Logic content, I can't find a single thing called "Vintage Guitar" in Logic's included content at all...

  • How to turn down default guitar reverb?

    Does anyone know how I turn down the default reverb setting for the software guitars in Logic Pro 9? Thank you.

    No, nobody knows how to do that, because it is logically impossible. If you alter a default setting, it is no longer a default setting.
    Also...
    I didn't know Logic has hardware guitars. Or reverb that is specific for guitars.
    We can't be bothered looking for the right sliders or knobs. Maybe it's in here somewhere:
