Routing audio out of logic

I have just purchased a Korg Monotron and am trying to send sound out from Logic into the Monotron, and then filter the audio in the Monotron and record this back into Logic, however I have a problem.
The audio I want to send out of Logic is routed to the only 2 outputs '1 & 2' on my Edirol UA-25 interface.
I take a mono output from one of these outputs on the rear of the interface, and feed this into the Monotron headphone socket.
The issue is that when the sound is fed back into Logic, I can't hear the filtering effects because it is drowned out by the audio track I am sending out.
How can I mute the sound of the outputted audio so that I can only hear the subtleties of the filtering effect in Logic.
Can anyone explain a workaround for this.
I have tried to set up an aggregate device (can I record audio from my iMac instead?) and use the I/O plug in but with no success- any suggestions welcome!
Cheers,
Mr Rock

Sorry- that was a typo- I take the output from Logic into the aux-in of the Monotron and then feed the output from the headhone out of the Monotron.
The issue is I cannot just hear the subtlety of the filtered Monotron signal back in Logic as the Logic output is playing at the same time.
Any solutions appreciated!

  • Trouble Sending Audio Out of Logic

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble sending audio out of Logic through outputs other than to my monitors. I am trying to reamp a guitar sound and send vocals to a reel to reel using a MOTU ultralite. Also, even though the audio tracks are mono, it only allows the output to be through stereo pairs. Thanks!

    Ok I figure out how to set my outputs to mono but I tried using one of the monitor outs to send audio out and it won't work, I can't even listen on headphones. When I plug my monitor back in, however, it works fine. What isn't working?

    Hi Dat Stream Studio,
    This sounds very promising!
    Can you please confirm when in 'Audio Midi Setup', do I go to 'Audio Devices'.
    If I select 'Audio Devices' then I have two setting- 'Default Output' and 'System Outputs'.
    At present both are set to 'Edirol'.
    Can you please suggest which ones I need to configure as 'Mac Internal'.
    When this has been set up is all sound outputted through 'Mac internal' audio, and do I connect a lead from the iMac headphone socket into the Monotron?
    To get sound back into Logic, should I connect the Monotron into say Input 1 on the Edirol, and then set up an audio track with the 'I/O' plug in set to audio 'Input 1 (and leave the 'output' blank)?
    I look forward to your response.
    Cheers,

  • Using an external synth, want to route audio visibly in logic

    Hey
    So - in the early days of logic 5.5 i distinctly remembering that i had external synths, which i routed through logic, so that i could 1) Pick a midichannel that gave me the corresponding channel on the synth (like part 1), and 2) I could see a visible fader, with the EXACT same look and options on it, as any normal audio channel. Ie. i could put plugins on it, and so on.
    however, ive gotten a Waldorf Blofeld af my first external synth, for use with my logic pro 8, and while i can play it using a midi keyboard, and i can see a channel for it, then the channel that it creates, is sort of a fader, with only pan settings, and rev + chorus. Ie. i cant record it, i cant use plugins on it. Furthermore ( but this may be a problem with a setting on my soundcard ? (a motu 828mkII if anyone happens to know how to fix it ) when i pan the reverb it doesnt pan at all, the sound stays in stereo. The volume fader however works fine.
    So my question is: Can someone - please- explain to me, how to set it up "fully". Meaning a guide to creating the multi instrument ( as im guessing it should be ) and linking that to an audio channel in my environment, which i can then record, and use plugins on?
    I sincerely hope for a fast and hopefully correct answer as this has been bugging me for two days now. Ive read alot of stuff in the manual, but cant figure it out.

    You distinctly remember wrong (or at least, you're forgetting how you did it). A MIDI track has a MIDI channel strip, an audio object has an audio chanel strip that passes audio and can have audio plugins on it. You can't have one MIDI track with audio processing, as MIDI has nothing whatsoever to do with audio.)
    What you probably did before is had a MIDI track feeding your MIDI instrument, but then had it's audio coming back into your audio interface and coming up in the mixer in realtime using an "Input" audio object.
    however, ive gotten a Waldorf Blofeld af my first external synth, for use with
    my logic pro 8, and while i can play it using a midi keyboard, and i can see
    a channel for it, then the channel that it creates, is sort of a fader, with only
    pan settings, and rev + chorus
    Yes, that's a channel strip for MIDI instruments - nothing to do with audio, it sends MIDI volume, pan and other GM messages over MIDI to control remote MIDI devices.
    So my question is: Can someone - please- explain to me, how to set it up "fully".
    Meaning a guide to creating the multi instrument ( as im guessing it should be )
    and linking that to an audio channel in my environment, which i can then record,

    If you specifically need multitimbral output, then you should create a multi instrument in the environment, set up to the MIDI ports/channel, and create arrange tracks for each of the (up to) 16 parts.
    (The External Instrument plugin isn't much good for multitimbral or multioutput instruments).
    That handles the MIDI side. Now, you want to bring that instrument's audio back into Logic's mixer, so plug the audio into your audio interface, either in stereo, or more channels if you have them to spare. Then you can either create Audio Input objects, or use regular audio tracks in input monitor mode, to add the audio coming in from the instrument in realtime to the mix, where you can also process with plugins etc.
    Note that you won't be able to offline bounce with real instruments, as Logic can't speed up the universe to faster than realtime...

  • No sound out of Logic but audio is recognized

    I bought an Oxygen 8 and I'm trying to use it with logic. I can see an imput signal when I hit a key but no sound comes out of logic at all.
    The Oxygen 8 is running into an audio interface and then into my macbook via usb.
    This set-up works fine in Ableton but not in logic.

    Make sure you have a software instrument instanced in your track and make sure that track is being routed to the output. Then, check your levels, etc.

  • Newbie to logic - audio out

    1. I have external speakers hooked up to my G5. Logic audio will NOT play out the external output of the G5. Garage band will, Logic wont. How do you get audio to play to external speakers.
    2. I have figured out that you put Logic software synthns in the instrument tracks. What are the tracks that have instrument icons used for......external midi boxes?
    thanks for enlightening me.

    You have to make sure that Core Audio in Logic is enabled, and that the audio driver is set to "Built-In Audio". This is done under the Audio hardware and Drivers panel, found under the Audio menu.
    Logic's default song has tons of those crazy icons all over the place. There are no instruments assigned to them. They are merely showing you what you can do wit the icons, if you're so inclined.
    I'd suggest reading up on the various types of audio objects in Logic. This will arm you the knowledge to choose what you need.

  • Logic 8 and mbox audio out problem

    Hi
    I have a problem when using my digidesign mbox with logic 8. When I set the core audio to Device: Digidesign HW (Mbox) in prefs in logic I can record with my mic (i see that the audio is going in) but I do not get any sound out, not from the tracks I have reWired from reason, or the mic. Its like the audio out is disabled when I choose the Mbox device. If I choose to use built in microphone or built in line in i can both hear the reWired sound and the internal mic in my imac, but then the external mic using the mbox does not work...
    So basically I can record sound with the external mic, but then I dont here anything (not the audio in logic or the mic) or I can record with the internal mic and also here the other sounds (rewired or other tracks in logic).
    This is really annoying, since I just want to be able to use my good external mic or guitar through my mbox and I cant...
    btw, when using garageband it works wothout any problem to use the mbox, so its not a problem with the drivers or so...
    Anyone have had similar problems, or maby someone has a solution. I would be really greatful.
    Thanks
    Mr Sinclair

    Oh
    and another thing... It also works in Sountrack pro as well as in garageband... It is only in Logic 8 I can not hear the sound I am playing once I have chosen the Digidesign device for input. It is almost as it automatically choses the digidesign device for output as well, and not the speakers on my computer... (in soundtrack pro there is a choice to chose input and output device, in logic only the input device... could this be the problem?) I could use soundtrack pro, but it does not have the ReWire function I need... and also I like logic better.
    Any suggestions?

  • Switching Core Audio Drivers - No Audio Out

    I have a project in Logic Pro 8. It was recorded with Presonus Core Audio drivers on a Powerbook. The Project was then handed off to me to complete here in the studio.
    I re-opened the Logic Express Project in Logic Pro 8 using Digidesign HD hardware and Digidesign's Digidesign HW (HD) Core audio driver. All was well.
    We decided to try some changes in routing, using some new equipment M-Audio (ProFire Lightbridge) to take advantage of some Apogee I/O units in the studio. Loaded up the M-Audio Core Audio Drivers (ProFire Lightbridge Multichannel), made sure everything appeared properly in the Apple AMS (Audio Midi Setup) panel and did test tracks in Logic. All was well still
    Then I opened the Project, which had been working in Logic 8 and interfacing with the Digi HD hardware, now using the Lightbridge Multichannel driver to access the Apogee I/O, and...no audio.
    No indication of activity on the hardware interfaces. I checked Logic 8, onscreen everything appeared normal. Channel meter activity. Channel routing remained unchanged and should have appeared at the appropriate D/A convertor. Digital activity which would have normally been indicated at the ADAT to Firewire interface was non-existent. So, I would deduce that the computer was not directing the Logic channel activity through the new driver to the firewire interface from this project.
    I rechecked the test project with tones. I/O activity normal. Audio out. I opened another of the series of sessions from Logic Express to Logic using DAE now using the M-Audio interface. Nada. No firewire/ADAT activity?
    I have reverted without problem back to using the DAE/Digi Core Audio model with no problems, but I would like to get the ADAT/Core Audio model running on these same projects as a proof-of-concept, and see no reason why it shouldn't.
    Opinions, suggestions, ideas, questions?

    When I was on the phone with M-Audio Tech Support (they're quite helpful) we noted the following:
    1. If you switch over to Core Audio using the Mac's Internal speaker in one of these projects (switch to Apple's internal Core Audio Driver). All Channels are immediately updated to show only Output 1-2 available. and the project plays through channels 1-2 and the MacPro Speaker.
    2. Switching back to DAE Core Audio, all available channels are updated and all plays/records normally using the Digidesign HW (HD) Core Audio Driver.
    3. When the ProFire Lightbridge Core Audio Driver is selected, all channels are updated (now 1-18) and available, but if you select a channel or channel pair on one of the Channel Strips that was not in use previously in this session, an "out" bus for that channel is not created in Logic (which it normally does, assuming you choose a new channel pair for output from a channel strip...)
    When a 'new' project is created with the Lightbridge setup selected as the Core Audio output, all channels will auto create an appropriate channel output strip.
    My problem only exists when opening a previously created project. (In this case using DAE Core Audio...and I'm not implicating that as the cause, I don't think it is.)
    It's like having previous sessions/projects, buying new hardware to improve your ability to work with them only to find out you can't use your new stuff with the old sessions. (Not like that hasn't happened before.)
    Either Logic is at fault, not being able to accomodate the driver change from DAE to M-Audio, or the M-Audio driver is, being unable to get Logic to update its Environment to accomodate the new channel availability.

  • Random clicks when routing standalone synths into Logic via Soundflower

    Anyone facing random clicks when re-routing audio from standalone music software into Logic through Cycling '74 Soundflower?
    I am testing that with the Vogue Quattro free synth, that can be downloaded here:
    http://tinyurl.com/2ucyfem
    This is not AU so it requires re-routing. Can you also please mention your processor speed, Mac model and OS version? Trying to find out if this is a performance issue or not.
    Tnx.

    Ok, from first experiments I'm basically getting the same behaviour you see - MIDI is being routed to Kontakt, and it's playing. If you set Kontakt to use the default system output, it plays fine. But when set to the Soundflower driver, it plays (looking at the meters) but that audio doesn't show up in Logic.
    I've tried using an external instrument, using an audio channel in input monitor mode, and an input object, software monitoring is on, and in no cases can I get the Kontakt audio in Logic.
    I'm going to try a few things. I've certainly used an aggregate device with Soundflower to pipe audio into Logic in the past (though not in LP8, it was LP7). At the moment I don't know whether it's a Kontakt issue, an aggregate device issue, a Soundflower issue, or a Logic issue.
    More in a bit...
    Edit: just using Soundflower as the audio device (ie on its own, not as part of an aggregate deivce) the audio does go back into Logic's mixer.
    Edit2: Ok, just got it working. AMS and Soundflower is picky about picking up the number of inputs/outputs correctly here. I futzed with it a bit (see my sig) and it's now working.
    Edit3: And now it's stopped again. Soundflower has always been a little flaky for me, so perhaps it's general Soundflower flakiness that makes this not a dependable setup. The Soundflower inputs have disappeared from my Aggregate device - seems to be crashing or something. Re-futzing it, re-creating the aggregate device with care so the correct number of inputs show up, and it works again for a while. But it's not at all reliable.
    Give Jack a try, and see whether you get more stable behaviour. I used Jack on my old PPC as well, but don't have it installed here to hand...

  • PLEA. HELP -Profes. Way to route Audio back to L8 from Slave

    HI,
    Ok: Here we go... can somebody please help me in setting up my Audio Signals from the Slaves back into Logic 8??
    Now - I will go over and gather up what "insane" Information/Problems I have read about in the last days (Every day from Morning to Evening) and about my own conclusions because of my own testing with latencies...
    Please (with all understanding) of the mentioned problems... How do you actually manage to route Audio Back from Slave Pcs into Logic 8 ?? What Latency are you able to use ??
    Lets Start:
    My simplified setup:
    Main: MacbookPro Logic 8 with RME Fireface 800 (it has 2 Adats Stereo In/Out) and One SPDIF Digital
    Slaves: Slave PC (M-Audio Delta Series)
    Currently I only have a Slave PC hooked up with my Macbook Pro - Logic 8 sends Midi via IpMidi and gets Audio back from the Slave via Digital Spdif. I always have to delay the midi in EACH TRACK a little bit forward (1/64) Note in order to compensate the latency of my Slave PC (M-Audio at 512Samples)
    I figured that the Latency of the Slave Audio would be the Latency of my Slave Audio Card + that of my Main Audio Card - Fireface 800 (they are both set to 512) ... That would add together to about 22ms of delay...Did I do the math right??
    General List of "crazy" Problems to consider for this Connection:
    General Understanding:
    The Audio from my Slaves has to go back into Logic, in order to get everything in Sync. In this way Logic has all Signals needed to calculate latencies (caused by plugIns)
    1. OK Lets say I want to route Audio back from My slave into Logic using the EXTERNAL INSTRUMENT PLUGIN:
    - the EXTINST is not suited for Multitimbral (Multiple Midi Channels) Instruments (I use Kontakt 2 on my Slave)
    - I can not handle any Midi Volume Faders from it to control Kontakt on Slave
    - Insert Effects arent't compensated (although in PDS Mode for "Audio and Instruments" ) Workaround to this : - Using the Fx on a connected Bus - THATS CRAZY!.
    External Instrument PLUGIN is therefore not suited.
    2. OK Lets try routing via an Multiinstrument (Midi) and Audio Routing Back into Logic via an Aux Channel with the proper Inputs set:
    - well, this works a lot better (Midi is more convenient), but I always have to correct the latency caused by my slave PC by draging the Midi forward.
    3. Ok. Lets use the Latency Fixer PlugIN from Expert Sleepers to fix it:
    - Well in PDC Mode for "Audio and Instruments" (where I am supposed to Record everything in and play from my keyboard) it does of course NOT WORK .....
    - Only when setting it to PDC "Full Mode" it is effecitve ... but than I can not record Midi in Sync .... What is that???
    - in Other Words Using the Latency Fixer Plugin I Would have to switch back an forth in the PDC Mode:
    - PDC Audio Instr & Tracks ON When Recording / PDC Full ON to take advantage of the Latency Fixer PlugIn during playback --- THAT CAN`T BE IT!!!
    Ok - I am not getting anywhere. Summing it all up:
    The best solution I found so far:
    -Using Aux Channels with proper Input for the Audio coming back from Slaves (Via SPDIF or Adat (lightpipe) )
    - reduce Latency by dragging each track forward (midi Delay to negative value)
    Quick note to the programmers (But I guess nobody will read it or care):
    Sorry programmers - What the heck are you programming ?? - Can't you just sum up the Problems on a list like I did and find proper Solutions ??? I don't want Logic 8 REMASTERED, I want Logic 10 Surpassed !!!
    I can Imagine its hard wok -- but this is your JOB. Mine is composing...
    I Don't have time sitting several hours a day searching for PROBLEMS and NO REALLY GOOD SOLUTIONS. I really would enjoy composing once in a while...
    SO PLEASE: The next time want to make a new Logic, think of IMPORTANT PROBLEMS !!!!!!!
    Don't just paint the ape like a human. If you want it to become a "smart " sapient, you'll have to work on it.
    If somebody has the same procedure or a better way, I would like to know about it. Please report also if you know how really professional Studios are doing this...
    I am about to buy 2 more professional soundcards for more slaves, and I would like to know how to connect everything together with logic.
    Cheers and thanks for all upcoming answers and for reading this novel :))...

    Please nobody ?

  • Routing audio from softsynth post-effects

    Hi, i'm a seasoned Logic Pro7 and now Pro8 user but this one thing has got me stumped.
    Is there a way to route the audio from my esx24 to an audio track within Logic.
    I know I could just send it out and record it back in. But that's just plain fiddly with quality loss. I'd rather there be a cable free way to do it.
    Any help?
    Cheers.
    Robbie

    Yes this is true, you can export the track, then reimport that audio. Or solo, bounce, and import the audio. But no way to actually record within Logic 7. Nice feature to have added in 8, I'm looking forward to that...

  • 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.

    Bee Jay wrote:
    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

  • What kind of audio interface do I need for audio out from MainStage 3?

    I have a Yamaha MO8 that I use for playing in the worship band at my church. In the past, I've just directly routed audio from the MO8 through a direct box and into the sound system.
    I'm looking to switch my setup and use the Yamaha MO8 as a midi controller in MainStage 3. I have this part working — the problem is getting the audio from my MacBook Pro.
    The audio output sounds fine through the MacBook Pro speakers or through headphones plugged into the audio out / headphone jack; however, if I plug the direct box into the MacBook Pro's audio out / headphone jack, the signal the sound system gets is very pretty weak and very distorted.
    I'm assuming I need an audio interface between my MacBook Pro and the direct box / sound system. Since it's a 2010 MacBook Pro, I'm assuming my only output option is USB (unless the digital audio out can be used). If that's correct, would something like the Scarlet 2i2 work for me?
    Thanks…

    Yes, you'll need some sort of audio interface to get a good signal back to your mixer. 
    The Scarlet 2i2 would work for you but you may find a few limitations.  I use a MOTU Audio Express and it has the advantage of being a mixer as well, so I can mix in a backup signal from the onboard audio outs of my controller (Kurzweil PC3x) in case MainStage goes down (it happens on rare occasion).  Firewire is my preference so the MOTU checks that box.  I also like that I can connect my MIDI cables to the MOTU and have one cable going into the computer.
    If you need this sort of compact redundancy, I would shoot a little higher than the Scarlet.  If you don't feel the need for a backup line and USB works for you, then the Scarlet unit would be an excellent value. 

  • Getting an Analog (RCA) audio out from Apple TV 2

    I have an extra Acer X203H (DVI-D with HDCP) that doesn't have any speakers. I want to hook up a new Apple TV 2 to it so I can stream Netflix in the bedroom without having to buy a TV. So, here's the question:
    I am certain an HDMI to DVI should work, but I don't have a solution for audio. Converting optical audio to RCA appears to cost around $100 for the equipment but I'd like to avoid that if all possible. Any thoughts or ideas would be great.
    Thanks!

    You need an HDTV, this is a computer monitor, correct?
    Then you can either hook it up directly, sound output would be through the TV. Or you could hook up a receiver via optical. If you have an analogue receiver you can buy an adapter or route through the TV if there is an audio out port.

Maybe you are looking for
