Recording a mix into Logic??

I'm wanting to record a mix, but not sure whether you can do it in Logic...anyone got any ideas?
Cheers

Hi
If you want to mix stuff within logic: audio files and soft instruments then go to file and choose BOUNCE.
or open your audio environment windows, look for your output fader and there should be a bounce button on the bottom. You can then save your bounce as several file formats or burn a CD (depending on your logic version).
for further information open the help window whithin logic,go to logic reference manual and on the search box type MIXDOWN or Bounce.

  • Recording from turntables into logic?

    DJs! or anyone else that knows... i want to record a mix onto my laptop from vinyl turntables. ie about 60 mins worth. is logic stable enough to handle recording straight into it for this long? or can anyone recommend a free recording application to do this. doesn't matter how simple it is as i can edit it after - it just needs to not crash. most of the ones on the net seem to charge which seems crazy because i used to have a decent free one back on OS9!
    thanks all...

    should be fine..
    Just adjust your maximum recording time by hitting "a" (audio/set audio record path)

  • Recording Reason redrum into logic x directly?

    Hi All,
    I understand how to rewire synths from reason to logic x but I also understand u cant get redrum midi into logic
    could somebody explain to me the easiest way to record my redrum patterns as audio directly into logic so i can see everything in my logic sequencer?
    cheers

  • Recording DJ mixes with Logic?

    Hi!
    Wondering if anyone uses Logic Pro 7 to record their DJ mixes and how they go about doing that...
    my main question is- is there a way to get around the 15 minute recording limit?
    Also, are there any useful tips anyone has for mastering the mix?
    Thanks!

    I do this. I just record my mixes as a stereo track and then cut them into tracks and master them in waveburner. Push A in logic and a window will open that will allow you to change the maximum recording time. This will allow you to record your whole mix without having to stop and start. Ben

  • Latency, Recording incoming Audio into Logic,... I don't understand

    I'm trying to clear up my understanding (or misunderstanding) of latency of incoming audio into Logic.
    As a test, here's what I did.
    Set-Up
    1. In Preferences/Audio/General, I set Plug-In delay Compensation to off.
    2. In Preferences/Audio/Core I set the I/O Buffer Size to 32 (is this necessary?, to go that low?)
    3. In Preferences/Audio/General I turn on the Low Latency Mode On, set Limit to 0ms (Zero Milliseconds)
    4. Created a 1/4 note click track with Klopfgeist.
    5. Just for reference, I converted to audio. Opened in the sample editor and it is indeed, exactly on the beat.
    6. Set up my Roland Fantom as a Midi instrument. Channel 10 to trigger a Side Stick sound.
    7. Create another 1/4 note click track.
    8. Recorded the Rolands Output into my MOTU 2408 interface into Logic.
    9 Opened up the waveform up in the sample editor, zoom in and notice it is obviously late.
    10. Move the Anchor point 6 ticks to line it up,
    Therefore, the incoming audio is off by 6 ticks.
    Is it not possible to get 0 latency? I read the chapter in the manual but I believe this wasn't made clear, i could be wrong.
    I have a guitarist coming over to record on my record in a week, I don't know how to deal with this except to move his entire track
    by 6 ticks. ?

    That is not really the type of latency that's affected by your audio I/O buffer setting. A DAW system has different types of latency, MIDI latency, latency caused by some plugins, AD/DA converter latency..etc. The six tics will probably remain the same or close to it if you're buffer is set to 64, 126, 256...etc.
    Why do you have "Low Latency" mode selected, do you know what it's function is?
    The I/O buffer setting affects two main aspects.
    The response of the system when you play a virtual instrument, and...
    ...real-time monitoring of an audio input track. (this is an audio signal that passes through Logics audio engine and can use live effects)
    The example using the Fantom requires MIDI sent to the keyboard and the audio into the MOTU passes through the AD converter.
    What you want to set is the Record Delay so that your audio records in time, however... it needs to be set using a loopback test.
    Use a 1/4 note recorded audio click (side stick) that you've adjusted to be perfectly on the beat copy it a few times. Use a cable from the MOTU's output to an open channel's input, record the click, compare.. now adjust the "Recording Delay" until the recorded click matches the first click.
    Recording delay is on the Preferences/Audio tab.

  • Can I record vocals directly into Logic Pro X with my Tascam DR 680?

    I'm connecting via the USB port on the Tascam. I opened up my "Devices" list under "Preferences" in Logic but it doesn't seem to be registering. I thought there might be a driver out there or some other way to make this work.
    If anybody has any suggestions I will be greatly in your debt.
    -Josh

    Hi Jos, you can't interface the Tascam DR 680 like that (USB) to the Mac I think. It's not an audio interface but a more ore less dedicated stand alone recording/playback  unit. You could try importing the audio data into Logic, but as far as direct recording via usb goes….. I don't think so.
    A rather clumsy way to achieve your objective, if you must, would be a signal flow like that:
    mic -> Tascam DR 680 -> Tascam OUT (digital/analog) -> audio interface / mac  (digital/analog) IN -> rec in Logic
    Have a nice day!

  • Recording audio into logic?

    hello,how can you record audio straight into logic express 7,i have an audio interface,just dont know how to control logic to do this.i know how to record it onto my hard drive,but just thought you might be able to record it into logic ,like you would recording midi, into a track etc..thats if you can do it at all ?
    hope this makes sense.
    thanx

    When you record the track segment you are creating is saved on your hard drive. It is not data that is saved as part the song file itself. It is more like a link. Each segment is separate so you are going to create a new one each time you record a part of your song. Logic wants to place them into a common folder.
    Logic needs to have a path to those files so it can access them for playback. It is best to have them in the song file folder rather than somewhere else on your hard drive. When you follow through with setting the audio path Logic will create the necessary folders for the different types of files it will need to access.
    When you create a new song file it does not have that audio path. So, you either set up the link/path after you create a new song file, or when you try to record your first track segment, Logic will ask you to set that path before recording.
    Hope that helps.

  • Sending audio from logic to external hardware effects, and back into Logic

    Hi,
    I am currently trying to send audio from Logic to external hardware effects and then record this back into Logic.
    My audio interface is a Edirol UA-25 which has only two outputs '1 and 2'.
    I understand that I could create an 'aggregate device' which would create two more ins + outs being '3 & 4'.
    I also understand that would need to use the Logic I/O plug in configuring this routing.
    When treating the audio via the external hardware I particularly only want to hear the audio being processed and not the original 'uneffected' signal.
    Can someone please explain if I am able to do all of this with just the UA-25, and if so, then how.
    Cheers,
    Mr Rock

    You connect output 1 of your interface to your active speaker.
    You connect output 2 of your interface to the input of your external effect.
    You connect the output of your external effect to input 2 of your interface.
    You route your track in Logic to output 2.
    You create a new track.
    You route this new track to output 1 and output 1 only.
    You choose input 2 as the source for this track.
    You arm the track.
    You hit Record.
    You hit Stop some time later.

  • HELP recording with behringer xenyx 2442fx into Logic??

    Hey,
    So i recently got a Behringer XENYX 2442FX mixer and I am trying to record drums into Logic pro.
    The mixer came with a usb interface which takes two red & white L R cables.
    I am trying to record into Logic however from reading other things online I'm starting to doubt that that is possible?
    If anyone could give me help asap it'd be greatly appreciated as If i need to send the mixer back and get something else that will work, i'll need to do that quickly!
    thanks again

    If this is how it hooks up... then no.. you cant seperate the drums with it because your coming out of a feed that is the stereo track.. into the interface... theres no possible way with that set up that it could seperate the tracks out. You just need an interface with enough I/O's to feed into logic.. like a Motu... then you just need a mixing board that you can use to control logic and I think that would be ideal for recording drums.. but really if you dont mind mixing in the computer you dont even need the mixing board to record the drums if you have a sizeable interface... anyways.. thats my 2 cents.. hope that helps a lil

  • How do I record separate tracks through my Mixer in logic?

    Hello All,
    I am trying to record two seperate instruments at the same time into logic through my Xenyx Q502 USB Mixer so they are recorded on two sperate tracks (one track for microphone, the other for guitar) but am struggling as to how to do this. I have the Microhone in input one and the guitar in input two on my mixer. The problem that arrises is that both of these inputs record on the same track in logic and are not recorded as indivudal tracks. How do I make them record as indivudal tracks?
    Thanks,
    T.Hobbs.

  • Recording Streaming Audio Directly into Logic 8?

    Is it possible to record streaming audio directly into Logic 8. I would like to grab some sound bites from web sites and various other places and lay them down as Audio tracks in Logic 8.
    I know WireTap Pro will do it for $30 but I wonder if I could just do it in Logic.
    Again, thank you for your time.

    Or you could also use the loopback trick and just plug your interface's outputs >into it's inputs - be careful of your routing to avoid feedback though...
    Hi Bee Jay .. I wonder if you would mind advising on this setup:
    Normally I hear everything that comes out of the computer via the following route:
    Out of computer via Firewire and into Motu828
    Then out of Motu 828 and into Mixer channels 1 & 2 which are set to Monitor only. ie I hear all audio ( including streaming audio from computer) through my monitor speakers and the signal does not go back into Logic.
    All the other mixer channels (3 - 16) I use for recording. Mics and line inputs routing these back into the MOTU (and then the computer) by buttons on the individual channel of the mixer. ie If the button is up on a particular mixer channel it comes out the speakers and does not record in Logic. If the button is down then that channel records into Logic (via a loom into the MOTU).
    I was warned on no account to press the buttons down on channels 1 & 2 ( because those were the main outs to monitor Logic's signal ) ...
    But that if I *switched off the channel output in Logic channel strip* - then I could press down those buttons on Channel 1 and 2 and route whatever audio was coming out of the computer ( iTunes, You Tube etc) back into Logic to record.
    I did this some time ago and it worked ... but for some reason, now even though I have the Logic Channel outputs switched off, I still get the most horrendous howling feedback if I try to record Streaming Audio or iTunes.
    If you or anyone else has advice on what would be causing this, I would be most grateful

  • Recording Microphone through Alesis Firewire Mixer to Logic Pro won't work

    I am trying to record a simple vocal performance into Logic Pro 8 through an Alesis Firewire Mixer. The mixer is corresponding with my CPU and serves as the input/output. The mic comes loud and clear through the monitor speakers. I can't figure out the basics of getting this to record into logic, or how to edit the sample once I have it.
    This should be the easiest thing to do and I don't see it layed out in detail anywhere in the manual.
    Somebody Help!

    Okay i have the input in Logic set to "input 1" and the microphone going into Input 1 on the Alesis but no microphone levels are appearing in Logic, though the microphone IS coming through the speakers. (the Alesis is corresponding with the computer, playing tunes and such)

  • Recording Reason Audio NOT MIDI into Logic

    How do I record the audio output from Reason into Logic?

    I found one way.
    Here it is:
    1. Record into Reason
    2. In Logic Set The Channel Of An Audio Object To Rewire Reason Mix L/R (or whatever)
    3. Bounce The Channel Inside Logic
    4. Import Bounce If It Isn't Already In Your Audio Window
    this is caveman primitive because more time is spent bouncing then mixing but it works.

  • What connectors do I need for my ipad so I can connect it to my apogee duet 2 interface essentially using the ipad as an instrument utilizing a few of the synth and drum machine apps to record tracks into Logic on my Mac?

    Ok, so I completely feel like this is a stupid question for those of you already in the know and recording tracks onto your Computers DAW from instrument apps on the iPad and other i devices. I can not seem to find out exactly what connector or unit I need to be able to connect and use my ipad as a instrument to record tracks onto logic. I have an ipad2 that I want to connect to my apogee duet 2 interface which is obviously connected to my Mac. I know Logic comes with plenty of drum and synth options but I still want to be able to use beatmaker, jam up pro and the sunrizer synth apps on some of my tracks. I do have the camera conversion adaptors. So my question is, do I just run from the camera adapter in the ipad into the midi port on my apogee interface? (I'm new to and still learning about midi) Or is there a special 30 pin cable I need to get that runs from the ipad into the XLR or quarter inch in the break out cables on the apogee? I did find one cord out there that plugged into the ipad and had left and right XLR connectors but my duets break out cable only has two inputs each is their own channel. Also , if the cable I need isn't midi  and does connect to the breakout cables, do I set it as an instrument or as a mic in the apogee software? Or am I completely way off base and needing something different all together. Any help would be much appreciated!
    I have a fare amount of experience when it comes to recording, set up and the flow of standard instruments, using external hardware and plugins. But the last few weeks I spent a lot of time programming some great beats in beatmaker on my ipad and I want to track them into Logic. It seemed like no matter how I worded the questions when researching what I thought was and should be simple to figure it out, it just took me to answers I wasn't looking for. Thank you ahead of time. Like I said I'm just starting to get out of my comfort zone and learn about midi and the more digital side of things. So sorry about any ignorance concerning that side of things.

    The new Apogee Duet for iPad and Mac, is compaible with iOS devices and includes a USB Midi input. This sounds like the perfect solution for your workflow.

  • I am using logic to record a podcast and using soundboard to use as a playback for music and sound effects.  I'd like to soft patch sound board into logic, and still use my interface for recording audio from the other members of the podcast.

    I am using logic to record a podcast.  I have a presonus firestudio mobile for my interface so I can record several people at the same time.  I'm also using Soundboard for a playback system for music and sound effects.  I'd like to know how to soft patch Soundboard into Logic while still using the Firestudio interface to record the other members of the podcast.  Does anyone know how to do this? and if so can you tell me how to do it?  Thanks.

    Thanks. Now, since Apple failed to provide an audio in jack for their new and improved iMacs (mine has one), all I can suggest is that you contact AppleCare, since you have 90-dqy free phone support. If need be, you might reconsider your purchase, but that's for you to decide.
