Running Logic + Skype concurrently

I installed Skype version 2.8.0.851 on my mac about 2 weeks ago. Under Preferences / Audio I had two choices for input/ output: 1) internal mike+ speakers 2) Audio interface ( Duet ).
Since the Duet is connected to my Logic Studio music software and I wanted to keep the two apps separate, I chose option 1 ( internal mike+ speakers ) for Skype.
Then, when I wanted to open a Logic project, I first got a window saying Audio Engine has been removed and then a second saying that I would be connected to the internal speakers.
I checked Logic Preferences and Duet is still selected. But in reality it doesn't connect.
I checked Skype and my Mac Preferences and both ONLY now show the option internal mike+ speakers.
Last year the same thing happened ....... it took me a couple of weeks of total frustration to realise that the origin lay with Skype and not Logic. I then simply deleted Skype and everything reverted to normal.
I would be truly grateful if someone could tell me how Skype can co-exist without altering, my other apps.
Thanks, SeaDream

Hi Erik,
Yes -the Duet disappeared after Skype was up-and-running. When I checked the Audio window in Skype before using it, the Duet was there, but I chose the internal speakers +mike. Later when I looked here ( after Logic wouldn't open ) it was gone from the Skype Audio window as well.
So I de-installed Skype, ran DU, cleared the caches etc and restarted. None of this worked. I could see that the Duet was active (lights on) but the Mastro windows wouldn't open either. So I reckoned that the internal 'connection' had been lost.
Then I simply pulled the cable put of the mac and reinserted it and bingo - it was back again.
I don't want to re-install Skype till i understand how to avoid all this shillyshallying !

Report runs OK through concurrent program, but not when called through URL

We have a custom 6i report developed that works successfully 100% of the time when run through a concurrent program.
We are now attempting to integrate this into an OAF application. To do this, we build the necessary call to the reports server by reading different profile options, etc and come up with a URL like this:
http://ebsd777.xxxxx.com:8000/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?d777_APPS+report=XXMFG_ESPEC_REPORT.rdf+P_SPEC_ID=43+DESFORMAT=PDF
This report works 90% of the time when called like this, but the other 10%, we get the following error:
"Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time.
Incorrect usage."
Trying to find what the differences are between the reports that work and those that don't - found that reports which fail seem to extend out further to the right than the reports that do work. But, these reports still fit on standard letter paper in landscape format - as we can verify through the concurrent program call.
Is there some sort of report server setting or parameter which we can change to get this to work when called through the reports server URL?
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Craig

Hi,
Please post the application release along with the database version and OS.
But when i call the same program through the pl/sql executable of another concurrent program , it does not print the pdf output by defaultHow do you call the program? What is the value of the number of copies profile option?
Please see if these docs help.

How can I run more than one VST on a PC slave running Logic 5.5?

I have moved from PC to Intel Mac (good!) and wish to run several non Intel VST apps from a slave PC running Logic 5.5 (ie Trilogy, Atmosphere).
My question is (and forgive my stupidity if the answer is obvious) how can I address each virtual instrument from the Mac? Currently I operate MidioverLAN CP which enables my PC computer to receive midi but I seem only to be able to access one instrument at a time, not permitting me to run several apps at once.
many thanks in advance for any kind help

Logic 5.5 is not an ideal VST host, as by default, only one virtual instrument is in Live mode, and you can't rig up environment solutions without a large latency (which makes it unusable).
There is a workaround involving putting a bypassed IO plugin on your instrument tracks, and then you can use environment cabling without the large latency (it tricks Logic into putting all instruments in Live mode). Then you'd cable your physical input through a channel splitter and onto the audio instruments to assign each a MIDI channel as has been discussed to death on this forum.
If there isn't a reason you must use Logic 5.5 PC to do this, then there are much better PC VST hosting apps and I recommend looking into them...

I updated to OS X Mavericks and now trying to run Logic Pro X on a MacBook Pro mid-2009, using an M-Audio Axiom 49 and an M-Audio Fast Track Pro... Logic keeps telling me that Mac OS X MIDI Services are not available... How do I solve this problem?

I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As". So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail. I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
Here's what I know:
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update. None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them. This is maddening! What can be done? Apple?? Anyone???

I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, the cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler. I get the message "nothing to display"

I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, then cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder ad multiple song files. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler. I get the message "nothing to display" or "no region or audio file selected" After much research on the web, I believe this is a permanent bug. Does anyone have a good work-around for this type of work. We record live 16T band rehearsals constantly and would love to be able to break individual songs out of the large file and be able to use the sampler. Thanks in advance for your ideas! Cheers.

Another thing - if I copy one of the tracks to another track, then the sample editor works on the copied track. I don't want to have to copy 16 tracks to new tracks to be able to use the sample editor on a project. Thanks again.

I have a carillon 25 keyboard (bad choice, I know) and I can't get it to communicate with my mac at all! I'm running logic pro 9 and reason 5. I get signal in from my M Audio trigger finger so I know it isnt an entirely mac based problem. Thanks!!!

Well, how have to determined no signal is being recieved to your mac?
Have you got something that shows the actual signal? Or have you just been trying to control a VST? What software are you using by the way?
I personnally went with a AKAI MPK25, because it's made already mapped for logic & ableton etc, so it just makes things incredibly easy.
I would suggest you return it if you can as a dead unit & perhaps look at something else a bit easier?
Otherwise, if you just want to get this working we can have a look a bit deeper.
And driver? OS X driver?

I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money? Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound? Will I need adaptors and a interface?

Can anybody help?

Also, I am guessing as Logic only runs on MAC surely then they would not the best spec to recommend to run it?
I see all the upgrades as additional memory or a faster process?
Is a retina screen necessary, and why flash based storage against a 1TB hard drive, and a i5 instead of an i7
The main reason for this purchase is to play live and use backing tracks and record found sounds and make creative songs.
I hope you can provide some valuable feedback, as I am a longtime MAC user and see upgrades and changes happen regularly but the most important thing is the songs not the equipment.
I have £500 already and willing to add another 500 to 700 pounds, then software extra.

No intention to dispute your advice here Pancenter, but just out of interest, what kind of problems are you referring to?
Thanks in advance!
Since it was a new iMac he was going to purchase, there is the huge iMac/Fusion Drive Thread.
The other thing is... the Fusion drives offer no improvement over standard drives for audio, in fact performance may be less, plus there is an additional software layer installed to mange the Fusion Drive... and to top it off, the the regular spinning disk of the Fusion Drive is only 5400RPM.
Here's the thread.

Would a 13" Macbook Pro (2.4GHz) be able to efficiently run Logic Pro?

I'm thinking of buying a Macbook Pro, but I'm really tight on money. Would the lowest model of Macbook Pro still be able to efficiently run Logic Pro?

It will run just fine.

Running Logic in 64-bit but what about Snow Loepard?

Hi all,
I am wondering what the benefit is of running Logic in 64-bit if you only run Snow Leopard in 32-bit. Is there better performance when you run both Logic and the OS in 64-bit?

Mike Connelly wrote:
The only thing that is still 32 bit is the kernel itself. If you're on 64 bit hardware, you're already running the OS in 64 bit.
64 bit kernel may boost performance a little more, but from tests run it looks like it will be a pretty tiny difference.
That is because we are looking at "word length", not sample rate...
ie one 64 bit piece of info is more detailed than a 32 bit, but takes just as long to go through the motherboard... therefore the small increase in performance.
I for one cannot go to 64 bit since I use 3rd party plug ins a lot... and none of them are 64 bit yet, except for Omnisphere.

How much memory to run Logic 9 smoothly

Hi all
I'm the happy owner of a new iMac 21,5" since yesterday. Brilliant machine.
It comes with 4GB of memory DDR3. Snow Leopard is the OS.
I will be using it mainly to produce music, using Logic Studio 9.
Is there any point on upgrading the memory to 8 Gigs, will that help managing big projects, or is it a waste of money?
Thanks in advance

I agree, I think that 4 gig should be enough to run Logic smoothly.
Here's my question though... if you've already ordered it with 4 gig, is it even possible to upgrade it later to 8 gig? I'm sure it is possible but is feasible for the average Joe to tear apart their iMac and add additional RAM. Is it easy to get to on these new guys or would you have to send it in to Apple?

Can I run logic pro x on iMac 2.8Ghz core 2 duo, 4GB RAM?

I currently run Logic Pro 9 (9.1.8) on my iMac (early 2008 model as above) but really like the look of pro x features, will it run on my iMac?
Thanks
Tim

Thanks for that info but my iMac (according to Crucial memory finder) is limited to 4GB
My iMac is 2008 model, 2.8GHz core 2 duo. Do you know if this will support 8GB ram?
Thanks

Can I run Logic in Snow Leopard?

Can I run Logic in Snow Leopard?

LP9 runs fine under 10.6.8....
In fact using Logic Pro 9.1.5 and OS X 10.6.8 turned out for me and many others it seems.. to be one of the most stable combinations of Logic and OS X of all time

I have purchased a mac mini only to find I am unable to run Logic pro 9 , is there any way this can be achieved? It has been suggested that I partition the drive and install a copy of an older operating system to run the Logic Pro, is this feasible?

Only with a whole lot of effort and instability. As the new Minis have
hardware (HD4000, USB 3.0, etc.) that is totally unsupported in old OSes.
The only option would be to see if it would work by installing in a virtual machine
running 10.6.8. I'm sure there will be some performance hit but whether it would
be enough to be unusable is the question.

Does anybody know how I can run multiple skype accounts on my macbook air? I found workarounds on youtube, followed the steps to set-up a second skype account but I can't login using the second account.

How do I run multiple skype accounts on my macbook air. I'm using MAC OS X 10.6.8. I followed the workaround steps on youtube to set up a skype b account (application and folder) but when I open the skype b account I can't login. I get an error message saying "please check your network settings and try again". My 1 skype account works but I need to run 2 skype accounts at the same time, 1 for a client and my own personal account.
Thanks
Yolanda
