Synchronization problems between Logic Pro 8 and Roland's groovebox MC-909

Hi everybody,
I recently purchased a (used) Roland MC-909 and tried to synchronize it with Logic but the whole procedure seems too complicated.
Logic gets digital audio input (S/PDIF-RCA) from the MC-909 (through M-audio Fast Track Pro) and I've tried all shorts of adjustments (e.g. connecting Logic's MIDI out (through M-audio Fast Track Pro) to Roland's MIDI in port and the opposite with different master/slave setups etc.).
I can't get these two to synchronize.I suppose there is a logical solution for everything,but I'm really running out of patience...
I want to use Logic Studio to internally record Roland's (synchronized!!) audio output,avoiding sampling patterns from Roland and then transferring them to Logic (import audio file).After that,I would like to use these two combined in a live set.
I hope there are people out there having faced similar problems in the past...share any bit of useful info please..
Thanks everybody!
Mario,Greece

MIDI Out from Logic via the M-Audio interface.
In Logic's synchronization setup, be sure "Transmit MIDI Clock" is enabled and the port is selected.
In the Roland, set clock to external/slave, you may have to press play, the unit should now wait for, and sync to MIDI clock from Logic.
caveat... I don't have a Roland unit, but this way ---should--- (hate that word) work.

Difference between logic pro 7 and 8

I'm just wondering if there's a difference between the Logic Studio ($500), and Logic Pro 8..or does Logic Pro 8 simply come within the Logic Studio package? Is there a big difference between Logic Pro 7 and 8? Also, is it worth the $200 upgrade?

Hi,
Logic Studio: Logic Pro 8, Soundtrack Pro and MainStage.
So yes, Logic Pro 8 is part of the 'Logic Studio' package, which also contains the two other apps.
http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/
Take a look at the Logic Pro 8/Logic Studio forum. There are mixed opinions on whether it is worth upgrading yet or not.
Good Luck!

Logic Pro 8 and Roland A500

Hi all,
I am trying to configure a new Roland A500 Pro keyboard to work with Logic Pro 8.0.2 as I want to use both the midi in/out and the "remote" control of Logic via the keyboard itself.
According to all the (very poor) documentation that comes with the A500, it can do it easily.
I have installed (and uninstalled and re-installed endlessly) the drivers and control maps from Roland for my OSX with no success.
I keep getting this message ... despiste closely following the instructions???
Anyone else managed to get one working???

Well i hope my explanation helps to solve you your provlem.
Firstly, Cheer up......cos ur gonna get away wid the problem wid dis........
Lets start.......
1. Install all the softwares that came with Fantom G6 ( Fantom G drivers & Fantom g editor).
2. Connect your Fantom G via usb to ur Macbook.
3. Launch Logic. It will search for all the available audio units (including FantomG).
4. Start Logic with empty project. Create a new external midi track.(I hope u kno how to create external midi track. (If not then check out Logic's manual).
5. Now at this point if everything goes well, then you may see that logic created a track named grand piano. On the right hand side you can see in library tabs that GM device first track is selected. Now u should see Fantom G there right above the GM device on the first place. Click on that & click on channel 1. Now you should see that your track name is changed to Prg 0=11.
6. If u did this much correct. you are done & you are finished with the tough part....:) cheers.
7. Now On fantom G click on studio mode. Now you are on internal mixer of fantom g. Select any instrument u wanna select..on the first channel (by default it shows G-grand) you can select any instrument.
8. Here is something important......now since you wanna record midi on Logic which is an external sequencer you will have to move to external mixer on fantom g. To do this you have to click F8 twice on fantom g. That will take you to external mixer
9. Select channel 1 on fantom g. Now go to Logic. & hit record (R)......Now you'll be able to record midi to Logic & u may see data entered in Logic's sequencer...........:)
10. Likewise you may build your song by creating new tracks just the way you created this one & selecting different songs.......
I hope this helped........
Any further problems........you're most welcome...:)

Difference between Logic Pro 9 and Logic Studio?

I have garage band and I notice that the instruments available are extremely limited, so I am looking to upgrade solely for the idea of getting more instruments and more features. Does the app store Logic Pro 9 have the extensive amount of official instruments to download for free? Or are there additional costs if you are looking to purchase the instruments for the app store logic 9?
I know that the studio version has mainstage, compressor and other programs etc, but what I am looking to find out is if there is a difference between what instruments, resources and materials found in the $210 Logic 9 and the Logic Studio version that you can't download for free from inside Logic 9?
Thanks

The instruments themselves are embedded within the Logic application, with the exception of the sample libraries for the EXS24 and Ultrabeat. All of the content, including the various Jampacks and sample libraries are available to download

No.... free

The "Studio" DVD's include the now defunct Soundtrack Pro, which had around 20G of loops, beds and sound FX. Some of that material is now available for Final Cut X.
A few utility programs are also missing (Waveburner etc).

Sync between logic pro 7 and mpc 2500

hello all. i am having a problem with my production set-up. i have synced logic pro 7 with my mpc 2500 (mpc as slave). the main problem is that logic is triggering a drum on the mpc when i press record. basically, the drum plays along with the click at all times. the only thing that stops this is turning of the drum kit, which of course makes it where i can't play it. i also have a problem with the mpc responding when i press play in logic. can someone please help me?

If you have set everything up correctly, the MPC should send a signal into the computer. To trigger sounds you set up a MIDI track and select 1A. Then open the plug-in/sound source and load a patch onto midi channel one. You will then hear the sounds when you hit the pads. Its exactly the same as setting up a keyboard, except now when you hit record on the MPC you can record the midi data and create loops. V Useful!!!

Are there compatibility issues between Logic Pro 9 and Mavericks?

As the marker passes over the Arrange-window (when playing or recording) it leaves the space behind it black. Does anybody know why this happens and how to deal with it? I haven't yet had any other problems (besides the usual loss of some EXS-samples.

Only Logic Pro 9.1.8 is officially supported under Mavericks. So: update!

Problems between Macbook pro retina and CS6

Hi, the problems with the macbook pro retina and CS6 are solved? problems with the pixelated interface in PS, InDesign, Illustrator...
Thanks

Photoshop and Illustrator with their latest patches are compatible with retinal displays. InDesign CS6 is not and never will be compatible. You'll need CC for that.

Logic Pro 8 and Roland Fantom G 8

Hi there fellow musicians!
I have a great wish to control my setup using Roland Fantom G8 keyboard.
Here is what I have,what I want to do and what issues I have with it:
I have Fantom G connected to Logic 8 on my MacBook via usb,
then midi out from Fantom through standard midi cable, connected to M-Audio Audiophile USB interface on my slave PC.
I use audio routing from PC back to Logic through ethernet cable (audioport)
I would like to record Midi (played on Fantom as a masterkeyboard through usb midi) on Logic, then get the midi that's been recorded to Fantom MIDI OUT so i can play all the stuff on my PC.
Well...its supposed to be simple but **** it isn't.
I get all sort of issues with it, first of all,
how to switch between external channels of Fantom, so I would send just one channel signal to logic, not all channels.
Then I dont know how to set up the midi tracks in Logic, so they could record midi from the certain midi channel and then transmit it to my pc using midi out of my Fantom.
I tried many things really,but cant get it right.
I guess the problem lies somewhere in Fantom. What I want is just simply 16 different midi channels to go through fantom midi out to pc and also want to be able to record midi on logic using roland's usb as a midi device for the logic's midi input.
Hope I was clear enough to explain what am I struggling with and...please,please help me. You are my only hope
Cheers,
Kuba

the problem is this : every time i have to send a clip to another aplication for the cleaning of the sound( audition with dynamic link or soundtrack pro exporting a .wav file) after a while (it can be a couple of minutes or more) i listene a clic on my headphones and the sound goes back to the speakers of the macbook pro, after that i must reconfigure again the audio hardware and audio output mapping again ( this happen almost with every clip and only between audition and premiere) anyway i started to use soundtrack pro to avoid this problem... but what is happening now is that many times after i listen the clic on the headphones or after im tryng to go back from one audio application to premiere, premiere freeze out or shhot down....
the poject is kind of big and restart premiere 3 or 4 times in an hour of job in my mac book pro its not what i call a productive hour oj job...

Strange problem between Prem Pro CS3 and Canon ZR950

I bought CS3 and a Canon ZR950 thinking they were compatible. I ended up having to install Firewire and using the special 4-pin to 6-pin cord. It almost works.
According to Windows XP the drivers for both the "Canon DV Camcorder" and the "Texas Instruments OHCI Complaint IEEE 1394 Host Controller" are working properly. The firewire works properly with other devices. When I place the camcorder in PLAY and insert the cable the computer recognizes it as a camcorder and gives me choices of programs to use - Premiere Pro, Windows Movie Maker, Vegas Movie Studio, and Media Import 8.
I've tried uninstalling the camcorder drivers and when reattached they self install again "correctly". If I use Windows Movie Maker I get a warning "An unknown error has occured" and it stops working. If I use Vegas Movie Studio 9 I get an eror message saying "Microsoft DV Camera and VCR" could not be opened. If I use Roxio Media Import 8 I can get it to start the camcorder screen replay but none of the other computer program controls work and it's doesn' save anything or show up on the computer screen.
The only one that gets to the next step is Premiere Pro. It will actually open and wait for input. When I select Capture the window opens but nothing works until I go to the Settings tab, Device Control, Options button. There I select NTCS, Canon, Standard, and Auto detect. There is no specific choice for the ZR950. It only goes up to Z70. I've tried various settings but it doesn't make any difference.
Here's the strange thing. Regardless of whether I change the options or not, even if I only open up the Options menu and close it again, the controls on my computer screen will now control the camera for playback, foward, reverse, stop but it will only show up on the camera screen, not on my computer screen. In addition, there is no capture going on. In other words, I can use my computer as a giant controller to watch my videos on my camera screen, but that's it.
I suspect there is something wrong with the settings on the camera, but haven't gotten any word back from Canon yet. Any suggestions you can offer here would be appreciated.

Conflict between Logic Pro and external device error in Logic Pro X./cpu problems

hi Logic users,
using a MacBookPro 15 inch Retina, 2,7 GHz intel Core i7, 16 GB Ram, OSX 10,8,5, Logic X 10.0.4.
i am wondering if you can help me out with the following problem i cant solve:
when starting logic x with a not too big arrangement, lets say using one third to half of cpu, i open u-he plugin Diva and the cpu is going up on full range and the following error appears: "sample-rate 39299 (number always changes) reconized. Check conflict between logic pro x and external device"
as external device im running a VirusTi and as audio-device Apogge Duet. when dis-connecting both devices, i have the same problem.
putting the sample buffer up to the highest rate, doesnt change anything.
same arrangements on friends computers dont show that problem, so it has to be something wrong in my set up.
anybody has an idea?
would be much appreciated for your help,
thanx-

Have you used Diva's preset Accuracy system to reduce CPU load?
accuracy
Click on the Main button at the bottom of the window. To the right of the Master section are two selectors called Accuracy and OfflineAcc. In the current version of Diva these are global parameters i.e. they remain fixed across all presets, per loaded instance:
draft........CPU-friendly, but FM will sound rough and resonance is primitive i.e. NOT zero delay! fast......... Fine for older computers and/or when you need more polyphony in acceptable quality great...... The best compromise between quality and polyphony on high-power computers divine..... Top-quality zero delay feedback filters... but can your computer can handle it?
OfflineAcc only has two options – same or best (i.e. divine in the current version).
Some host applications may have problems rendering to audio at the selected accuracy, but the
better ones include an “inform plug-ins of offline rendering status” or similar.
I typically work in draft mode and then switch to Devine or best when freezing the track or bouncing the entire project...

Conflict between Logic pro 7.2.2 and DIGI002 using a macbook pro

Hi.
I'm running Logic pro 7.2.2 on a macbook Pro using a DIGI002 rack as audio interface. I experience an extremely bad performance from my computer and keep getting these warnings: "conflict between Logic Pro and external device (digi002)" and the application runs VERY slow! I have updated all drivers but that hasn't helped! I practically can't use Logic at all, as it complaints when hardly running any tracks in a session. Has anybody experinced or heard of it before? It has really started to get on my nerves!!!!

Hi,
I am running Logic Pro with a Digi002 Rack.My driver versions are:
Digi Core Audio manager 7.1.1cs1
ProTools LE v7.1.1cs1 also the first Intel compatible version of ProToolsLE.
Logic Pro 7.2.2
All of this works,and I even use the Digi002 also to playback audio from iTunes,iMovieHD,iDVD,and Quicktime Pro,without any problems at all.
Are you able to run ProToolsLE well,or is it exhibiting the same problems?
Are you using the internal drive as a record drive,or do you have an external firewire drive for audio? This is important.I would recommend NEVER using the internal drive for recording audio,it can make the drive unusable after a while.
It would be good to know if you do have the latest drivers for the Digi002,and are able to run iTunes etc... If that is the case then going and removing all of Logic Pro preference files,and re-selecting the Digi002 interface as the audio hardware might do the trick.Also,check Audio Midi setup and make sure it sees the Digi002 correctly.
Lastly,and this suggestion no one seems to give...is simply this:check ALL your firewire cables,and if they look even a little frayed,replace them.Also,please put the Digi002 in the following order,if you are daisy chaining multiple firewire devices:
MacBook Pro
\Digi002 Rack
\\firewire hard drive(s)
\\\any external DVD/CDburners,ESPECIALLY if the manufacturer recommends this position for heir device.
\\\\any other external devices(cameras,printers,whatever)and have them OFF when running Logic or ProTools.
I hope some of this helps,
Cheers,
Nick

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?
