Recording with LOGIC 5.5

hi,
I have an audio card PROTEUS - X...
how do I have to set the PatchMix DSP to record what I listen in 1 stereo track of LOGIC?
Now I can record only one channel at a time... (example: PCI card in L)
please help me...
I'm sorry but I don't speak English... therefore I ask you to use an easy language
thanks

I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. How do I get it to stop?

I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop? My sound is running through the Saffire Pro 40 Interface (Focusrite) into external speakers with powered amps.
Also, When I record I am hearing little pops in the system. I have checked all of my meters and they are not clipping. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop?

Pancenter,
Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
Thoughts?
Thanks,

Tristan...
This is what you have, correct?
http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
This from Alesis..
"The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

Can I make professional sounding recording with Logic in an untreated room?

I have a small bedroom-recording studio. Since starting with Logic over a year ago I have been amazed at how much you can really do with this program. I would really like to start producing my songs at level that competes with the sound quality of what most people purchase on Itunes and professional albums. However, I don't have the space or money to record and mix in an acoustically treated room. It's my little 10x12 bedroom in California after all, and I also have to keep everything else I own in the same space.
Some people argue that an acoustically treated room is the most important thing in getting a truly great sounding record, BUT my question/argument is that IT IS possible to get a pro recording without elaborate foam set-ups and bass traps, etc. Here are my thoughts and please feel free to agree or disagree and prove me wrong—also note, I am NOT talking about mastering, just getting quality recordings and mixes before the mastering stage (that I would pay a pro to take care of anyway).
I have good monitors for my setup (Event ASP6s and have had a few professional recording artists I know comment on how good they sound). I listen to music all the time on these speakers and know them very well. When I record my own music I frequently A/B my recordings (as I am recording AND mixing) with music from CDs to match the sound quality. I focus on both total recordings and specific instruments when doing this A/B strategy. I also mix at low volume levels.
My thinking is this: If I'm able match (or at least come close to matching) the sound of my instruments and mixes to a commercial recording using my speakers and Logic, then the room should not matter. The speakers are reflecting the sound of a pro recording, regardless of how the room is treated, and I am in turn emulating this sound with my own music. Thus, my music should translate well on other systems, as the pro recordings obviously would do so.
I realize that quality mics, preamps, mixing skills etc. are important for creating a professional, accurate sounding project as well, but the fact that I am unable to record in a properly treated room has always bothered me and I’m not going to be able to change this situation any time soon.
I’m curious about everyone’s opinion on this. This is a great forum and there are a lot of knowledgeable people here. This is the age of the “Home Studio” and most people with home studios don’t have quality rooms, so this is an important subject. Thanks for any feedback.

Jack, I'm in a similar boat here in Seattle. I just finished recording and mixing a few songs for demo'ing purposes and was pretty happy with what I achieved, but let's just say there was a lot of learning involved with the process.
In my limited experience, when you're working in a small untreated boxy room, you're fighting a different big problem at each stage of the recording process. When you're recording, you have to deal with comb filtering and flutter echoes (if you're recording mic'd acoustic instruments), and when mixing room modes and bass-response issues. There are various ways of addressing flutter echo, which boil down to creatively using dispersion and absorption techniques and playing around with mic placement. If you close-mic everything, you can get rid of some but not all flutter problems, but then you have to wrestle with having an exaggerated low end on all of your tracks, and you lose a lot of the open, airy quality of the instruments you're recording.
My "studio" has a couple of large bookcases along one wall, so I typically recorded the guitar in M-S stereo facing the bookcases (to get some dispersion) and set up a couple of homebrewed O-C 703 panels a few feet to each side to kill off the echoes. I also set a panel up on the wall behind me to further dampen things. It seemed to work pretty well. Mixing was a whole 'nother matter. No matter how much I A/B'd I did a bunch of mixes that wound up sounding truly awful when trialled on other systems. I went through a lot of CD-R's before finally winding up with something that wasn't actively cringeworthy (at least in terms of audio quality).
Since your setup is based on an MBP and a portable FW interface, one thing you might try is recording acoustic instruments in a larger room elsewhere in your apartment, or maybe at a friend's. Or maybe rent / borrow a church for a day.
Hope this helps,
Trent

Recording with Logic Studio

I've been reading post here trying to decide what to replace my current system with. Up until recently I've been running Logic Studio on a G4 powermac dual 1.25 with 2 gigs of ram. Logic on the main 120 drive. My tracks/files etc. on a secondary internal 120gig HD.
I record one audio track at a time.
A completed song on average consists of about 12 to no more than 24 tracks. Most of which are audio with plug-ins. often a track perhaps two with software instrument. Usually all audio tracks.
My question is wouldn't the white Macbook 2ghz core duo with 4 gigs of ram be able to run Logic with little or no problem. Let's say I record my tracks to an external 7200rpm HD, using Apogee's Duet as an interface? I know there is only 1 firewire port. Could I piggyback somehow?
Would recording to the 5400rpm drive really be that bad? I use to record audio on an original iMac 233mhz with a 5400 HD granted that was sometime ago and it was not using Logic.
I must say I have been looking at Macbook Pro, but like many others... I'm not sure I'm willing to bite the bullet. I know one should buy as much computer as they can... I think I would rather get another desktop at those prices.
I would like the mobility to record wherever and whenever I want to, keeping things as simple as possible. Within budget of course... I'm just wondering if the macbook would work for me.

After loading some completed songs which consisted of about 20 tracks (mostly audio/1 software instrument).. Logic worked beautifully. I had a real hard time mixing on my G4 desktop. With the plug-ins and amount of tracks the G4 Dual 1.25 was choking. "disk not fast enough, error.. yatta yatta.." The dual processors where simply being maxed out. The Macbook Pro 2.6ghz was using about a third of its power. A much more pleasant experience the the Macbook Pro and the Apogee duet.
With my apartment being my studio... not being tied to the desktop in wonderful. I can now record/work in any room.
Yes it is the same version of Logic Studio (Logic 8) I used on my desktop G4. Allowed 2 installs one desktop/one laptop with Logic. Didn't have to intall LE7. Simple put in the serial # when prompted. Took a few hours to load all the content from the Studio package.

Best all-purpose condensor mic for recording with Logic

Hey everyone,
I'm just about ready to purchase Logic Pro and a MOTU Traveler and I am on the prowel for the best all-purpose condensor mic to record with ($500-650 is my budget).
I would like to be able to record vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, primarily. Does anyone have suggestions? Thank you.

it's going to be hard to find a good mic that is well suited to all 3 of those applications. Sure you can find stuff that will "work" on anything, and for that I would definately look at the Rode mics. But if you are willing to save up a bit more I would highly recommend the following:
Rode NTK for vocals
Peluso CMEC-6 small diaphragm condensers (about $580 for a matched pair) - these are amazing acoustic gtr, drum overheads, etc. mics. Also, I've used them for electric guitar cabinets and they sound great there too.
SM57 for electric guitar
These 4 mics will give you a lot of options. For instance:
vocal/acoustic gutiar together (NTK and Pelusos)
Electric guitar (SM 57 on speaker cone with either a Peluso a few inches away from the speaker or NTK a couple of feet away for body)
Drums (NTK a couple of feet off of kit, Pelusos as overheads, 57 on snare, which would actually give you a really great drum sound in a good room with a good kit)
Obviously this is almost twice your budget. You could start out with the NTK if the vocals are most important to you, or the pelusos if acoustic gtr is most important, and add on the other mics later. The 57 is super cheap and really needs to be in anyone's mic locker. I also recommend an old Shure 545 which is the predecessor to the 57. You can find them on ebay for under $50 (make sure that you get the low-z version with XLR connector, not the high-z with 1/4" connector) and they sound like a 57 but a bit warmer and smoother. They are really great electric guitar mics.

Recording with Logic and Mackie Onyx?

Has anyone an opinion about how well these
new
Mackie Onyx mixers w/ the Firewire Card
perform working with Logic Pro 7?
Specifically in terms of tracking
16 live channels simultaneously and getting
low latency as well as tracking out thru Logic
and the Mackie Onyx to a standalone CD-R for
mixdown/mastering?

It was my understanding that the audio which passes through the firwire pipe (in or out) does not carry the channel strip information with it.
this means that for tracking, your EQ settings will be for reference only. and you will have to use logic to EQ your work, and be careful on the way back in for CD burning not to double EQ your work.
Seems like a great idea, but has a number of drawbacks.
why not get a presonus or similar interface with many inputs, and then distribute the control room signal with something like a big knob?
seems like a simpler, more direct and ultimately "higher fidelity" solution.
imbmo anyhow...

VST Recording with Logic Express

hi
im knew to making my own music with the computer but I have Battery 3 and Logic Express. Logic Express recognizes Battery 3 as a plug-in (as I have FXpansion VST to AU) but when I hit the record button and start hitting my keyboard (my LAPTOP keyboard), i can hear the drum kit sounds but nothing records. Please help.

Hey Nathan,
grab the pencil tool & write some midi notes,
then them playback.
Or choose step input keyboard.
Ps: maybe you're using the computer keyboard to trigger sounds, but those are not recording midi information on the track to playback, like say GB?
There's the only explanation for you to get sound while tapping but none playback.
Do you have a midi keyboard?
Keep cool, it's only natural, you're new to the program.
keep me posted,
regards,
Jorge

Problems recording with Logic Pro 8

I just purchased an Aluminum MacBook 2.4 GHz (2 GB memory) and Logic Pro Studio. I couldn't justify spending the extra cash on a MacBook Pro as the specs are way too similar nowadays.......except for Firewire. I didn't think I'd need a Firewire port as USB 2.0 is supposed to be faster than Firewire 400. So I have an audio interface connected via USB 2.0 and a 1 TB external hard drive running at 7200 RPM also connected via USB 2.0. Problem is, each track in Logic takes forever to load before it records (i.e. I press record and have to wait like a minute before the recording begins), and subsequent tracks added are not recording or working properly. I'm recording everything to the external hard drive and now am thinking the USB 2.0 is not fast enough for recording processes. But if USB 2.0 is faster than Firewire 400, why should I be having this trouble? Do you need Firewire 800 to record to an external hard drive properly?
I'm beside myself thinking that I just purchased a $500 program and won't be able to run it on my MacBook the way I intended. It seems like the computer should be able to handle the workload of the program. Would swapping out the internal hard drive for a 7200 RPM drive work for recording as long as I immediately backed up the data on the external drive to save space? What about upgrading to 4 GB of memory? Will I have trouble regardless as long as I am recording several tracks on one song?
I can't tell if this is a hardware problem or not. Maybe my problem is I had this grand idea in my head that I'd be able to max out Logic Pro on a MacBook just like I could on a Mac Pro Desktop. But I've seen friends of mine max out Pro Tools on OLDER MacBook Pros; what gives? Any and all insight/help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah i just reformatted the external hard drive and am going to attempt recording again tomorrow. I have a Seagate external drive that's supposed to be Mac compatible, but I've reformatted it twice. I've read that if the format is not correct then you're going to have recording problems. If that doesn't work then I'll try the internal HD and look into a different external drive.
I know that USB 2.0 is only "theoretically" faster than Firewire 400, but I'd like to find a USB external HD that is known to support the highest USB speeds available. But I dunno if USB 2.0 has a protocol that supports 2 way data transfer like Firewire, so I'm not sure how much it would matter.

21.5" Imac with 2.8ghz Quad-Core i7, 16gb ram and 2 TB hd to use for professional audio recording with Logic 9?

Does anyone have any experience with this exact conifguration? I would like to purchase this and use it for 5-10 years of solid audio production. Any shortcomings?

Ok. So I now I found a local seller who is selling a 2008 Mac Pro. Does anyone want to advice which would be the smarter route to go. This is used, but they are guaranteeing that it is in incredible shape. It's a bit old:
This is a gently used, mechanically sound and tech tested Apple Mac Pro. I am only selling due to our business upgrading, otherwise I love this machine, and would not be selling it. It comes fully loaded (both hardware and software), and is ready for the most robust tasks.
Included with the Mac Pro is 2 brand-new sealed 20.5" Lenovo LCD monitors, Apple Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard. Currently, the Mac Pro is setup for dual monitors on the 512mb NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT video card.
The memory on the Mac Pro has been upgraded to 16GB and an Apple OEM 256 GB Toshiba Solid State Drive (SSD) has been added to increase boot up speeds to mere seconds. The SSD can be configured to run either OS X Lion or Snow Leopard and will also house all of the applications. The combination of 16GB RAM and the applications residing on the SSD enables this machine to perform at amazing speeds. It can seamlessly render video and run other ram intensive applications with ease, making this a perfect addition to anyone's video editing studio.
In addition to the 256 SSD, the Mac Pro has a total of 4 TB of storage space with two separate 2 TB hard drives for storing massive amounts of data. (2 open bays if you wish to add more storage).
LOADED SOFTWARE:
MS Office 2011 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Communicator
Adobe CS5 Mastersuite (Photoshop, Encore, Flash, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, FireWorks, Catalyst, Contribute, After Effects, Bridge, and much more!)
Final Cut Pro 7
iLife 2011
Aperture 3
Adobe Acrobat X (PDF Editor)
All applications have been freshly reinstalled with their appropriate activation keys. The machine comes ready to go with no administrative password for either operating system (Lion or Snow Leopard).
Thanks for looking and if you have any questions feel free to ask! This Mac Pro comes with a 30 day warranty against DOA. Buy with confidence.
If you like the machine, I have a little room to work on the price if you do not want the SSD. Otherwise price is FIRM. This machine is a powerhouse!

Using iRig with Logic X

Hi there, I've been trying to use my iRig to record with Logic X, but I can't get the audio input selector to show anything accept "built in input" when I have it plugged in.
Does anyone have any experience getting these two products to function together?
My computer is a brand new macbook pro, I'm told this should be doable.

Hi. I had the exact same problem. Spent a couple of hours last night playing around with various settings but all to no avail - nothing I did would show the iRig as an input device. Then tonight I was looking at the din end of the connection cable & noticed that 1 of the pins was bent. Got a knife & bent it back into position, plugged it in & voila - there was iRig showing as an input device. Hope this helps

Using Aardvark Hardware with Logic Pro 7

Hello, I was wondering if anyone still uses their Aardvark hardware interfaces with Logic. I used to for OS9 but when I switched to OSX I found that Aardvark had disappeared from the game. I went online witht the intentions of downloading their Driver (for the USB3 to be particular) when I had found that they went out of business. I do know that they had one for OSX but I of course never downloaded it because I didn't yet need it. I sure could use that driver! Anyway, how is everyone's hardware holding up with the latest version of Logic?

I have been looking evvverrywhere for the driver. Every internet search engine turned out nothing useful. You would be my hero if you could possibly email me the driver (the driver that was offered for free from the aardvark website before the company vanished). =)
This hiccup has hindered my audio recording with Logic! Thanks!

PROBLEM AXIOM AIR 61 IN LOGIC, DON'T REPRODUCE SOMETIMES THE TRACK RECORDED WITH AXIOM AIR 61

I have some problems working on LogicX, cuz when i play the track that i recorded with the AXIOM AIR 61, sometimes don't sound nothing, and then when i put play again it sound the track, the think is that the LogicX. I don't know if it's a driver problem o something like that. Need Help Urgent!

Folks.... I eventually solved the problem so if anyone else is interested here is the solution.
The Axiom DirectLink for Logic/Garage band: Axiom_DirectLink_For_Logic_OSX_1_0_0-3.dmg
Should install a file called Axiom.bundle in the directory
MacintoshHD/Library/Application Support/MIDI Device Plug-ins/Axiom.bundle
In my case (see above) the file had successfully installed to that location. However, for some peculiar reason the permissions on the folder had been changed - current admin and users could not read or write. I have no idea how that happened. In any event, despite the fact that the file had been installed, when Logic was opened I was unable to see the Axiom as an available control surface to install.
I reset the permissions and the problem was solved!
It's only taken me a week to get there but now happy that it's OK. The Axiom612 isn't cheap!
I hope this helps someone else.

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

Hello, please help, my interface is connected to the microphone and when i open Logic 9 it does´t work. But I opened garageband to check and it works fine. I can record voice with any effect... With Logic i see the sound passes in the interface.

Hello, please help, my interface is connected to the microphone and when i open Logic 9 it does´t work. But I opened garageband to check and it works fine. I can record voice with any effect... With Logic i see the sound passes in the interface but does not arrive in Logic. The Loops works fine and i can hear. Is just the sound to record the voice it does not work. What can i do ??? I used Logic before in the same computer and it worked fine. Thank you so much, I´m a begginer recording myself.

Make sure you go into preferences in Logic and set the audio input to be your interface and the audio output to be either built in output or the interface, if that is hooked up to something else. It sounds like Garageband has the audio interface set as the input but not Logic.
Also make sure you close all other applications except Logic to ensure it is not running in slave mode...

Hardware "recording in session" light with Logic punch in?

Is there any easy hardware solution for having a punch in/recording light for the vocal booth... when I am in record mode in Logic.. or other DAW?
I have a Transport Remote that gets all the signals from it, so has any company made a simple red light type of thing.
Sometimes that visual helps when doing a lot of quick punch work.
I cue the people a lot.
Sometimes not.

I just hate going back and forth from premiere and logic and all the extra time wasted exporting the files so they will work with eachother.
I just thought of something else.... Is there a way that I can get the video in premiere to play the same time I push record in logic pro and maybe sync with it?
Like if I push record in logic the video in premiere will start playing then when I push stop in logic pro it will stop in premiere or at least stay in sync with it so the timing will be right?
if anyone has any ideas throw some out there I would love to hear them.
Thanks!
