Setting up guitar with Logic Pro X

Greets everyone...
I am a new user for Logic Pro X... and I am excited to try the Amps and Pedals etc.
Here's my sheet shot of what I have presenrtly
I can see that there are several options for sounds and tones, but what I am wondering is this... when I plug my guitar into "insert one" (PreSonus AudioBox 44VSL) I immediately here a clean tone... but, when I select a "crunch tone" I still hear that 'clean' tone along with my 'crunch' tone.
How do I rid myself of that clean tone so I can hear the effects (crunch tones, etc.)?
Thank you in advance for your help and assistance!

Hi
It sounds like you are hearing the Presonus "Direct" or Input monitoring... check the manual for the "Mixer Knob" etc.

How to set up Firestudio Project with Logic Pro 9

Getting a bit frustrated with this stuff!
I have the system listed below, just purchased a Firestudio Project and can't get audio into Logic Pro. The software that comes with the device records but not with Logic Pro!
I assumed it was an easy thing to get running as most is with my Mac but I am getting frustrated!

I use the local off method but there is another way.
Go to Settings/MIDI and use the "Instrument Without MIDI Thru Function" selector to pick the device and channel your hardware keyboard is transmitting on.
Settings are on a Per Song basis, they're not global like Preferences are.

Will MainStage 3 work with logic pro 9

Hi
Will i be able to use Mainstage 3 with Logic Pro 9. I intend to use it for playing guitar over backing tracks made within Logic Pro 9. Also is latency a problem. I have 2.5GHz quad core I5 MacBook Pro with 4Gig RAM.

You shouldn't have latency problems if you have it set up properly. I can run both programs simultaneously on a 2009 dual core 2.4 MacBook Pro with 6 GB Ram. I would consider upgrading your RAM. You may want to try using the Playback plugin in Mainastage 3 for playing back your mixed down tracks. Then you would only need to run Mainstage by itself live.

Only the red light turning on and off at the screnn of the MBPro and on my Apogee GIO (Guitar Interface Midi) switch button but the effect wha wha won't work.
HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY ENGLISH

Pancenter...
Yes... but I have come across some setups that came with a native SL (and even one Lion!) installation.. that somehow had a corrupted or older Prokit installed for some unknown reason... and given it's a quick fix to try.. I thought I'd mention it..
I frankly don't think it is entirely a Prokit issue itself, but it wouldn't do any harm to try and install v7 just in case it is part of the problem...
+1 on the UAD stuff....
Also, at the time it crashed... according to the logs...the OP was running Ableton Live at the same time, presumably rewired with Logic... so add all that together with UAD plugins... and that's quite a load on the system...
Finally in thread 32 there is a weird exception msg relating to the Trash2 plugin.. that I haven't seen before...
Thread 32:

That might be nothing... but as i said, I haven't seen that one before and given what else is going on.. it might be involved too... or nothing to do with that at all!

Alesis Midi Controller Keyboard setup with Logic Pro 8

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me... I'm a complete newbie!
Recently bought a Macbook with Logic Pro 8 and would like to get set up for some home recording. The keyboard I want to use as a midi controller is the Alesis QS6 which has been in the wardrobe for some time. I have a Midiman USB midi interface.
When I connect it all up, I can't get it to make any sounds from Logic, only from the keyboard itself, which I don't want. A friend suggested taking out one of the midi cables so now I have only Midi out from the keyboard running into Midi in on the Midiman. When I play the keyboard the notes register on the Transport bar and I can even record them but I cannot hear anything.
Can anyone tell me what settings I need to have on the Alesis? Should the Keyboard Mode be on Normal, CH Solo or Out 1,2,3...16? I read somewhere I need to turn General Midi off, does this sound right? Is it something to do with midi channels - I don't even know how to tell which midi channel is selected in Logic.
If anyone has experience with using the QS6 with Logic I would love to hear from you!!!
Thanks!

Run the Audio/MIDI Setup utility. Is your keyboard/MIDI interface displayed in there?
If not, OSX does not see your MIDI device. Install it's drivers if it has them. If it doesn't have any drivers, your MIDI config might have got hosed. What keyboard is it?
Unplug and replug it, directly, don't use a hub. Does it show up in the AMS utility now? Try powering it for an adapter, not from USB.
If you still get no joy, I'll give you some procedures to try...

Problem with Fader Banks and Channel in MCU PRO with Logic Pro X

I purchased a Mackie Control Universal Pro earlier this week, and I have talked with Mackie support techs twice and they have not been able to help me. My problem is that everything seems to work well with Logic X talking with the MCU with the exeption that the Fader Banks function will not move left to channels 1-8, they are stuck at channel 9-16, and will move to the right on to 17-24 and so on, but it doesnt move to 1-8 when the left fader bank motor is pressed. However when you toggle tany channel 1-8 levers on the computer screen, the corresponding lever on the Mackie goes up and down, but the reverse does not occur. The Mackie folks say this is a problem with Logic Pro X, not the MCU. Perhaps they are correct, because I still have Logic Express on my Mac and when I close Logic X and Open Logic Express the fader banks move perfectly from 1-8, 9-16, and so on as do the tracks. My computer is update with Mavericks.
I would appreciate any help! I am not a techie, an old guy who used to record on 4 track computers, and want to get away from a mouse control, but I'm going to take the Mackie MCU back if I cant get this straight, I've spent a lot of time on this. Help!

thank you Pete in Denver, I actually made some progress today, in setting up the control surface of the Logic Pro Control Surfaces Support Manual, around page sixteen gave me a partial answer. I had the Mackie icon first, then the Logic Control, and it said to drag and drop the preferred icon to the left or first place. that solved my not being able to access channels 1-8, I was able to press the fader bank left button and - voila!. so that saved my initial problem, but I still have some issues in moving faders and banks in existing projects, some tracks show up lit up in the tan colors others don't, but that is probably due to the way i would move tracks around once I received tracks on drop box from a friend and created new tracks, and I changed a lot of the order of the tracks. ANyway. I did make progress. Thanks!

Novation Remote 25SL Not Working with Logic Pro (Logic Automap)

Hi,
I can't seem to get my new Novation Remote 25 SL to work in Logic Automap mode.
I have the Remote SL in Logic AutoMap (template #39). When I launch Logic Pro 7, The Remote SL shows : "Logic AutoMap" on the Left LCD display, and nothing else happens, it seems to be frozen at this state. The Up/Down arrows on the Left side don't change anything.
Any clues why this is happening ?
I have read many posts on this and other forums of user issues in setting the Remote up properly, and have it work in Logic Automode. Tried many configurations, and settings, re-installed sw, OS 1.0.13, but no luck so far.
I would like to hear from Logic Pro 7 users who have successfully setup their Remote SL with Logic Pro 7.2.1 in Logic Automode, and are working with this system without any issues.
This will be very helpful in figuring out if there is something wrong in my settings, or if the unit itself is defective, or I am doing something wrong during the installation of the software ? I have been trying to get this thing to work for the past two days, with no success so far.
The Remote SL should be a wonderful controller for Logic Pro 7 (once it works !) so, I'm being as patient as I can with this thing.
I'm using Logic pro 7.2.1 on a Mac G5 2.5 Quad, Mac OSX 10.4.6
Thanks.

Hi Blaze,
I tried your settings, but no change, the Remote SL is still frozen showing :
"Logic Automap" on the left LCD .
You mention setting "Mixer View 64" well the parameter I see is called :
"Mixer View Fader" which I guess is the same one you are referring to. I set it to 64, it was set to 8, but has not changed anything. Still having the same problem. This problem is dragging into Day 3, what a bummer.
Thanks.

How to record guitar in Logic Pro 8

Hi,
Well, I´ve got a Mac Mini, Logic Pro 8, Audio Kontrol 1 audio interface, and an acoustic guitar. What I would like to do is to record my guitar songs into Logic Pro 8 and add other sound effects. My problem is, however, that I can´t figure out how to record guitar using Logic Pro 8. In the "Preferences" I choose "Core Audio" as device. I connect my guitar into the audio interface (Audio Kontrol 1) and from the audio interface to my Mac Mini using an USB.
When I start playing, Logic Pro is silent. When I record, there is no sound. What is even more strange is that GarageBand is working perfect! So I guess it has something to do with the settings in Logic Pro 8. So, I ask you guys...do you know have to solve this problem? If so, I would be very grateful!
Best regards,
Tor

Thanks guys!
I will try this as soon as I come home!
I will let you know how it works.
Tor
Well, I mentioned the aggregate audio device since I saw this article. Is this possible for me? Why should I do this?

Trying to get this "One" sound with Logic pro 8

Hi everyone i spent like 2 hours last night trying to get this sound with Logic Pro 8 soft synths trying to find a sound exactly like or close to this sound: http://home.comcast.net/~tommykry/Weezer%20-%20Troublemaker.mp3
The sound can be heard at 00:19 and through out the song, its like a low bass synth kind of sound that drifts down when its hit, like a portamento kind of thing. In live weezer videos the bass player is hitting a pad on a keyboard so i know its a key sound not a bass guitar slide. ive heard this sound in trance and techno songs as well. I have Sonar 8 and pro tools 8 as well and can look there if i have too, also have an Access viress Ti, But im trying to do this all in Logic. Like i said i played around for like more than 2 hours going through most of all the Logic synths, patch after patch trying to find something close i could tweak, so if anyone has more experience with The Soft synths in Logic Pro 8 and can steer me in the right direction i would be greatful.
Thanks
Tommy

In live weezer videos the bass player is hitting a pad on a keyboard so i know its a key sound not a bass guitar slide.
He could just be triggering a bass slide sample...
It's some kind of bass sound that bends down, in a similar style to what a bass player might do. Whether it's a real bass or a synth is difficult to say (and probably doesn't matter a great deal), but in any case it's certainly compressed, and grunged up dirty with some amp sim or distortion...
Try that route...

01v96i Yamaha...will it work with logic pro X

I bought the new Yamaha 01v96i Mixer but I can't make it works with Logic pro, in the list of available DAW I only find the 01v96 which is not the same and in-fact it does not work with the 01v96i.
Does anyone have an idea on how to set Logic for it or at least does anyone know if the new Logic Pro X has the new 01v96i in the list?

Lyford,
Again, in regards to hardware... it is not about LPX compatibility.. It is about compatibility with the OS X version and it's CoreAudio... Once you 'get' that point then everything else makes sense...
Tascam are notorious about leaving owners of "End of Line" products 'high and dry' when OS X is updated... and as you have found... the 1884 is not compatible with Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and likely will never be so... because Tascam will not be releasing Mountain Lion drivers for it.. so, it is not something you can use with LPX, which requires Mountain Lion 10.8.4 as a minimum requirement.
As an aside, Apple have acknowledged they make an error in simply using the LP9 Hardware compatibility chart for LPX (as LP9 could be used with earlier OS X versions for which there were drivers for the 1884 for example) and have said they will be issuing an updated version "in the near future"......

Dangerous Music D-box with Logic Pro X

Hello; I am a D-box user and Love it! I have used it with PT11 and Studio One with no issues. Now I am trying to setup the routing for Logic Pro X and I'm having a heck of a time getting it to work properly. I get sound when in "analog & sum" mode but not in DAW mode. Yes, I have Print track set up, stems etc.. I have searched all over the internet and can't seem to find any help. I did watch Fab's video on YT with Logic 9 but still having issues. Is there someone here that uses a D-box with Logic Pro X that woudl be willing to give me a hand? I also use a U/A apollo interface. Thank you in advance! It would be so much appreciated.
my email is
<Edited by Host>

I have had problems with this exact setup as well, LogicX - Apollo - DBox. All was working fine until a few weeks ago and then no more DAW S/PDIF. So after checking that the Apollo's S/PDIF was OK and checking cables with a volt meter, etc. I decided to send the DBox back for repair because all things pointed to a dead converter in the DBox.
It turns out they found nothing wrong with the DBox, no problems at all and it is being sent back to me. I will have it set up soon and will post again here my findings. Watch this space.

Hi Richard Gl ,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
I understand that your Logic Remote is not connecting. In this situation I suggest reading over the attached information and making sure that Logic Remote is set up correctly. I would also suggest trying to connect using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Will my Kurzweil PC3 work with Logic Pro 9?

I spent months looking for the right keyboard--what I mean by 'right' is one that I felt sounded best. I ended up with a Kurzweil PC3.
Before I purchase Logic Pro 9, does anyone know if I can use the sounds on board (Kurzweil objects) with Logic Pro 9, instead of using the built-in sounds (objects) in Logic Pro 9? If so, how does one do it? I don't want to use this beautiful keyboard as just a MIDI controller.

My own setup is similar to your discussion. I use a Native Instrument Komplete 6 audio unit as the interface for both midi and audio into and out of Logic Pro 9.1.8. You can set up a Multi-channel instrument in the Logic environment, or use the External Instrument plug-in. In any case, there is a fair learning curve to get this right, but the multi-instrument in the environment is completely capable of controlling the PC3 if you set up the correct Bank change and program change messages. There is one major problem that I am having and that is using PC3 Setup mode. If you set the PC3 into Setup mode and hit some notes, it produces a midi-feedback loop between Logic and the synth, causing the PC3 to go insane if you are connected using the USB port. This is because the midi out from the PC3 is sent thru the Logic track and back out to the PC3 causing a midi feedback loop. In program mode it isn't as bad but does cause a small amount of delay echo. The only way I have got around this so far is to connect using midi cables instead of USB then when recording I disconnect the cable from the Komplete 6 to the PC3 midi in, leaving only the midi cable from the PC3 out to the Komplete for recording to Logic (while monitoring what I am playing via the PC3 audio outputs). Then when I want Logic Pro to drive the PC3, I disconnect the midi in to Komplete and reconnect the midi out to the PC3. Playing the recorded Logic track now drives the PC3 without any feedback. But, there has got to be a better way! Any ideas would be appreciated.
I think this result is because Logic always sends midi notes thru to midi output. Is there some way of preventing this?

Using Eventide Eclipse as outboard gear with Logic Pro 8/9

Hi, people,
Anyone using Eventide's Eclipse as outboard FX box with Logic Pro? I'm thinking of getting one and running it via digital I/O into my RME Fireface 800. Any info appreciated.
Thanks, Scorpii.

Yes it is possible, first connect your outboard to the soundcard.....then load the I/O (inserts) plug in on the track you want to process....you can find it in the utility menu....then set the routing of the signal in the I/O window....if you want to record the processed track create a new track with the right routing and the work is done.hope this replay help you . Regards
