Region Flex problems Logic Express 9

Hello
I have a really annoying problem using Flex Time in Logic Express 9.
Whenever I try to extend a region the length automatically jumps by an entire bar longer. I have switched Snap to Ticks so it's not that (once it has leapt a whole bar it resizes fine).
It is infuriating! I only want to stretch the audio a couple of ticks as I am trying to match an acapella to a beat.
Please help before I throw my laptop out of a window!!

Will the Audio MIDI Setup utility allow you to configure things properly?

Interfacing Problems Logic Express 8 - Prism Sound Orpheus

Dear All,
I am having some interfacing troubles between Logic Epress 8.0.2 and Prism Sound Orpheus Firewire interface everytime I am using a sample frequency other than 44,1 KHz.
I have to say that in the past (with my Edirol Fireface FA-66, I was already able to record at 192 KHz, but since some month (also trying with the FA-66), I am getting this message:
"Error while trying to syncronize Audio and MIDI. Sample rate 44100 recognized. Check conflict between Logic Express and external device (Actually, I am not doing anything at MIDI level, since I am just doing acoustic recordings of myself as baritone and my friend pianist.
So, maybe, I have modified unconsciously somewhere and due to my inexperience, I am not able to understand where…
What I do in Logic is: "File" > "Project Settings" > "Audio" and in "Sample Rate" I chose, for example "96000".
After having armed the tracks I push the record button and just after a few seconds the process blocks and above message appears.
There is an article on the support page of Logic, but, I as it seems either it does not work in my case or I am not able to make it work…
Could you be so kind to help me?
Many thanks in advance
Marco

I reply to both Caramby and John Alcock.
Thank you again for your support and assistance.
To John Alcock:
1) What is your I/O buffer size set to in Logic? > 512
2) Is ADAT set to 'none' in the Orpheus Control Panel > Yes (beautiful interface, BTW! > I also like it very much, thank you)
3) What else is connected to your firewire bus? > Nothing else
4) Did this problem appear at the same time as upgrading to 10.5.6? > Beautiful question: it could be. The problem is that I do not know what version I had when I bought the Mac (December 2007)... I looked on the backup copy of the CD-ROM but just "10.5" is mentioned.
In any case I would like to stress that in the past with my Edirol I was able to record with Logic at 192KHz and then since various months (maybe also a year, in the meantime), I am no longer able to do this (now only at 44.1 Khz). Do you think this depends on Mac OSX 10.5.6? But why can I record with Audacity at 96KHz NOW and I cannot do the same with Logic?
To Caramby:
In the meantime I also contacted Prism Sound. They are informed of the problem and will analyze also my system profiler, which I sent today. I think in the next days I should get a reply from them.
Any advice and comment is most welcome! Thank you again for your patience!

Every second G-note is missed by Logic Express

Hi,
I have really strange problem: logic express misses every second G-note (two octaves down from middle-C) that I press from MIDI-keyboard. It also misses all G-notes if I press something before the G-note.
This is not a keyboard problem: I have found same issue with two different keyboards and three different USB-midi-inputs. Neither it's hardware problem, I can switch octave from keyboard and it still happends. When I try "test midi" from OS X, I hear every note coming in to my mac, but every second G-note is missed by Logic. It's clearly something inside Logic Express since OS X receives the notes from keyboards all the time.
I have newest update for Logic Express and all OS X updates up to date.
Any ideas?

Hi there,
Just to make sure, download this:
http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/
Then check on the keyboard to make sure that it's producing what you expect.
Next, have you reassigned that key to a Logic Express key command? Or perhaps to another programme somewhere?
You could always try reseting the key commands, assuming you haven't set up lots of custom ones.
Open up the Environment (Command-8) and look at the the Clicks and Ports layer. There's a diagnostic tool in there that shows you what notes are coming in to Logic. That doesn't necessarily means what notes are going to the sequencer since you can filter notes out in the environment.
I'd also have a look at the Transform Window to see whether there's something wrong in that.
Sorry not to give you detailed instructions for all of these different actions - this post would be pages long so have a look in the manual and see if you can't figure out some of these advanced functions.

Logic Express 8 and OSX 10.6.5 Problems...

Hi,
I just did a fresh install of all of my software on my iMac.
Previously had it running 10.6.4 and everything an fine.
Now that I've reinstalled and upgraded to 10.6.5 Logic Express won't work.
Anyone else having this problem? Am I just ging to have to upgrade to 9?
I don't really want to as I mainly use Pro Tools and just use logic for drum machines and synths...
Anyway! Any help is appreciated!

I'm running 10.6.5 and LE 8 and it works for me. Of course I have a new imac that came installed with 10.6.5 and I installed LE on it. Maybe you can re-install LE. But hopefully there is another solution. I too don't really want to upgrade to LE 9 if I don't have to.

Problems recording using Logic Express 9

Hi everybody,
I'm a new Mac user. I'm a musician and I recently started to use a home studio for small projects.
Lately, I acquired some nice microphones to record a classical guitar and other acoustic instruments through Logic. However, something's going wrong and I can't make it work.
Before I describe the problem, let me tell you what I use:
- iMac (OS Lion 10.7)
- Logic Express 9
- m-audio Fast track ultra
- Rode NT5 condenser microphones
Problem:
As stated before, I'm having trouble using my microphones. Logic just doesn't hear the signal. However, if I plug a guitar directly into the m-audio box andf then into Logic, I can record no problem. Same thing if I use an electric piano (Yamaha P-95) into the m-audio box then into Logic with the Midi sound bank, everything's fine! It all goes dead when I plug in the microphones. The weird thing is that I can hear and see the signal through the m-audio box using headphones. However, Logic doesn't even show me a sign of any activity. I thought it had something to do with the Phantom power, but no. I tried and nothing. My guess is that something needs to be activated in Logic but I just can't find it.
Anybody with an idea?
thanks
CJ

Hi,
no worries, these are all good suggestions to check out.
Actually, I did all of this already, but the problem was somewhere else....
I finally found what it was. The m-audio has a software that has a board control and the "software returns" signal was off.
Also, a good "restart" of my computer made things a bit easier.
Thanks for your help!

Notation Problems with Logic Express 8

Hello there,
I´m a new member here and have a question about a notation problem with Express 8.
When I´m trying to double measure bars (is this correct? In german we call them "Doppelstriche". They are to divide one part from another... hope anyone understands this), they disappear. I don´t know why, but it happens after about a minute after writing them into the Complete Set... it never happened in Logic 7, it´s a new problem for me...
I thought that perhaps I pushed a wrong button by accident, but even when I did it correctly, securing everything, locking screensets, it disappeared...
hope anybody does know anything about this,
Alex

We just call them 'double lines' although a double 'bar' line is the thick/thin pair that ends a piece.
I did a simple test myself, just ran some notes in the Piano roll and got some 'score' to edit and dragged and dropped the double lines in place, no problems. I closed, opened, resaved, and played the 'piece' for a few minutes on loop, nothing went wrong.
Perhaps I am missing something but i don't seem to be able to see them dissappearing.

Problem while trying logic express

I have to decide if I prefer logic to dp5, so i got logic express trial and it seems
pretty friendly but !! I got an error message: error while syncronizing with midi.
and also logic xpress rarely reconized or load audiocore properly.
Dp5 ? works ok but craches all the time...
Kind of lost a bit...
thanks

I solved the problem. The problem was that my network was crypted by WPA2-PSK(TKIP), wich is not compatible with the AirPort. I re-crypted my network with WPA2-PSK(AES), and it works now.

Logic Express/Emagic emi6/2m problem

I've recently started having a problem with my iBook/Logic Express (7.1.1) and Emagic emi6/2m audio interface. I'm getting regular audio pops and clicks when playing my synth plug-ins (it happens with all the ones I've got) and only happens when I play them 'live' so to speak (ie not when playing back a part that I've already recorded). I don't think it's a RAM/CPU problem because it hasn't happened in the past and the CPU meter doesn't seem to be going very high most of the time. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the problem has only started since updating to OSX 10.4.6. I've downloaded the latest driver for the audio interface but it hasn't helped. Has anybody out there using a similar set-up had the same problem? Any suggestions gratefully received (maybe I have to update to LE7.2). .
iBook G4; Mac OS X (10.4.6) Logic Express 7.1.1/768Mb RAM

No big deal.....A friend of mine has an emi2/6.
He experiences audio drop outs, now and then.
(Especially at low buffer settings)
Then I realized he has no power adapter connected, (He lost his).
It seems you don´t use that either.
Maybe, just maybe, the emi doesn´t get enough power from
the USB port. After all the emi is old and USB1, only.

Logic Express (7.2) Installation problem

Hi, I had an iBook running Logic Express 7.1 and recently upgraded to a MacBook so I sent away for the 7.2 crossgrade, which arrived today. I put in the first disc which ran through the installation and prompted me to insert the content dvd, however the MacBook doesn't seem to recognise the content dvd and spits it out after a minute, leaving me to have to cancel the installation!
What's happening!? Anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?
Cheers

Maybe your content DVD is damaged?
I have had this problem with other software (not Logic) where a CD or DVD is damaged.
Can you insert it in to another computer? Sometimes a DVD will work fine on one computer, but not another.
If you can get another Mac to recognize it, you may be able to use Disk Utility to create a disk image of that DVD and move it to your MacPro via a network, or even install it across a network which I've never tried.
If it is damaged, you'll have to call Apple who I'm sure will send you a replacement. If you're anywhere near an Apple store, take your MacPro and the disks to the genius bar and let them get you running.

Logic Express 7.2.1 + MacBook: sleep problem?

Here's the thing: I'm using Logic Express on my MacBook, and it works just fine (a few audio tracks and Logic softsynths). However, if I put the machine to sleep with Logic still open, the next time I wake the machine, there is no sound generated from Logic! The meters all show activity, but I can't hear anything...
I have tried restarting the Core audio driver within Logic, but this makes no difference; the only solution is to quit Logic and restart, at which point it all works fine again...
Anyone else found this problem? I'm not using any external devices, just built-in audio.
Thanks,

Hi Niili,
I have the same problem with a digi drivers too,
I didn't have a clue on how to to deal with iet,
you wanna laght?
When I use Protools Le, I can have lower buffers without problem,
not with logic!
It problably have to do with the drivers.
I'll get back to you, if I have better news.
I'll hope the you do the same if you discover a turn around it.
Or any mates out here!
:o)
Kindly regards,
Jorge

Problem importing Garageband songs into Logic Express

Hi I have spent around 4 hours looking for an answer to this problem so hopefully it has'nt been answered before apolgies if it has.
I am trying to import a Garageband Song into Logic Express (7.1) it appears to import it to Logic but when finished it reads file corrupt not a Logic File.
I followed the tutorial opened the GB song and followed the instructions on how to import but I cant import it to Logic without the above message coming up.
Any ideas?
I'm using a MacBook Pro with 10.4.9 on it.Logic is version 7.1 (Is there a known bug when importing?)
Thank you if you can help.
KB.

Hi KB,
Welcome to the forum!
the answer is within your question;
your machine needs the universal Logic express (7.2)
and your GB's probably GB 3.
That's the reason you can open the files.
If you bought version 7 "new"(from the reseler)
ask for version 7.2, as you can't buy crossgrade anymore.
(until logic sells a new one)
"You just bought diesel and your machine's not run on it"
rule number 1: You should Allways look for system requirements and software versions compability!

Problems with audio track through US-122 in Logic Express

Hi,
This may be a completely stupid question, but I'm having problems with recording through my Tascam US-122 in Logic Express. I can't get anything to register on the level meter in Logic Express (neither direct input nor microphone input). However, I can get the input from the Tascam to register in the system preferences menu outside of Logic, and can get the built in mic on my IBook to register inside of logic. Does anyone have any ideas for me to try out? I've looked in the manual and I'm supposed to be getting the Logic Express training book soon, but I was hoping to record sooner than that.
Thanks!
Shawn J

Sorry, ignore the above. I needed to enable record before the level would show up.

Sample Rate Problems going from Garage Band to Logic Express

I've downloaded the Trial Version of Logic Express. When it launched it changes the i/o sample Rate that is required by Garage Band (I'm using a digi002 i/o). The result is that garage band plays back at a fraction of it normal rate (sounds like crap).
It wasn't a problem until the trial ran out on Logic Express. I could change the sample rate back inside Logic. Hummm ... what to do? I don't see any place to change the rate in the garage band preferences or in the core audio interface. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

G4 1.25 dual, mirror Mac OS X (10.3.9)
G4 1.25 dual, mirror Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I've never had any such problem with Logic Express. GB files just load up, and work fine. Did you change anything in Logic Express? There are setting for that there, but even songs I open after I changed LE to 24 bit, work fine.
Wait, are you saying LE is changing the sample rate, and then it stays that way when you open GB? Hmmm, What do you have LE set for? I think mine is set at 24/96, but I'd have to look to be sure. But I am not using the same interface as you are. It might be something you just have to live with. Have you tried posting this in the LE7 forum? Maybe one the gurus there knows what you can do.
Oh, and I am using GB 2, not GB 1, but I am not sure that is relevant.

Problems Using Logic Express with Alesis Multimix 8

Hi,
Does anybody have any experience of using the Alesis Multimix 8 USB with Logic Express 7.0.1? As far as I can tell the software is set up OK. The problem is that there is an awful amount of noise present on both the input and the output (sounds like inordinatley loud dither). The problem is also present on Garageband and iTunes but not with Cubase LE (bundled in with the Multimix).
I have searched and searched the internet for drivers for the Multimix but with no luck. At the moment I am just using the "core audio" USB codec drivers that are built in as I seem to have no other option.
Does anybody have any suggestions before I go ahead and buy another external audio interface? (got my eye on the new Behringer F-CONTROL AUDIO FCA202)
Rev. G Rock
PS I am running OS X (10.3.9) on a G4 iBook (1.33 GHz, 1.25 GB RAM) and have done all the updates available for Logic Express 7.0(.1)
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

OK I understand it's helpful to others to post solutions should you find them so here goes:
It would seem that the problem is with the built in CODEC used by OS X. You can update using the drivers available at http://www.usb-codec.com
I used the demo version to see if it solved the problem which it did. However you need to buy the software to get rid of the annoying beep every 30 secs on the demo version. well worth it to get my hardware working properly though.
