Syncing Logic and multitrack tape using smpte/mtc

Hi,
Has anyone managed to sync Logic to multitrack tape using smpte/mtc without major drift ? If you've tried this, let me know your experience.
Many thanks.

Never had a problem with wow and flutter - but I guess it depends on how good the tape machine is. I use a Studer A827, so it's not been an issue for me. I just use striped tape, usually at 15 ips, to record the basic tracks, and transfer a reference mix to PT and/or Logic, and transfer those files to Logic and carry on with overdubs, and only use the 24 track tapes again when it's time to mix. I'm not doing anything complex like sound to picture, or chasing the tape in the rest of the recording, so there may be issues lurking which I don't encounter.

Sync Contacts and Calendar Appointments using Link; No folders are listed to select

When I go to Contacts or Calendar Configure in the "Select the folder you want to sync" window, there are no folders listed to choose from. I've tried re-booting, re-connecting and Reset settings for my Sync. Still there are no folders to choose from. Please help.

This is exactly what I am dealing with. Blackberry Link will work great for awhile and then something happens and I can not sync my contacts. I have spent many hours and days trying to fix this to no avail. BB support has been great but I still go through a long process each time. This week I finally gave up and started using the Microsoft Hotmail Outlook Connector since my company does not offer Active Sync or Exchange. It works flawlessly. I would dedfinitely check it out. If you swith to a Widows Phone or Android this is one of the options they recommend you use.
In a nutshell Link is awful and BB should be ashamed of the product they put on the market. I will only use it for syncing pictures and documents. Good luck!

TS4147 Is there any way with the latest version of iTunes to restore the ability to sync calendar and contacts WITHOUT using that cloud?

Until I got to the latest version of iTunes, I always synced contacts and calendar directly. Now that option is gone. I have shut off iCloud but still don't have anyway to sync these, apparently, without going to the cloud. I don't want to share my information with Apple. Further, in the past any time I have attempted something like this it was a complete mess with entries duplicated.

You can if you install OS X server (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-server/id714547929), as discussed here: http://www.macworld.com/article/2061183/itunes-ios-syncing-gone-solve-it-with-se rver-.html.

Syncing Logic and DP

I am trying to get logic to trigger Digital Performer using 2 seperate computers. The reason for this is that I need to use Atmosphere on a project and Atmosphere drivers are not Intel ready yet. I am running logic into a MOTU traveller - and taking the midi out of that into the midi in of a MOTU fastlane which is plugged into the second computer where DP resides. DP does start running when triggered, however the clocks are about 1/4 beat off, and DP starts at bar 1900 instead of bar 1. I am using MTC as the trigger- Help!

Ok thanks.
I got it to sync up now but something is weird. It seems to drift off every so slightly.
I heard it may have to do with the frame rate being set to 30.
Is this correct? Where do I change that?
Thanks much.

Logic and MPC2000 tap tempo feature

Does anyone know how to setup logic pro so that I can emulate the tap tempo feature that the mpc has. I have downloaded the mpc groove templates and have become very skilled at using the Exs24 and Motu mach five samplers. Only feature I'm missing before I sell my mpc is the tap tempo button. For the hiphop stuff I create this feature is needed for hats and weird sounds sometimes.

try going to the matrix editor
set the grid to whatever resolution you want.
use pencil tool to draw in the note that you want
copy/duplicate the note so that all the beat subdivisions are filled (all 1/32 or 1/16 or what ever
delete the notes that you don't want.
using logic arpegiator is a good idea as well

Sync Safari and Chrome bookmarks using Windows?

I've got PC that is powered by Windows Vista, I like to use iTunes to sync my media to my phone and never had any problems with it except syncing bookmarks. The deal is that I like to use Google Chrome vs. Safari therefore all of my bookmarks are in Chrome thou Safari is another one of my favorite browsers. I like Safari for some of its features and cause its apple product so I stick with it and Google Chrome for being userfriendly and its interface.
Now how do keep these two browser bookmarks insync so that just by going into iCloud in my Control Panel and having bookmarks there being synced with Safari while I'm making changes in Google Chrome everything stays insync. Or is there an alternative?

You can use xmarks http://www.xmarks.com which does a decent job. Not seemless and I'd definitely make a backup first.

Trouble syncing logic pro 9 to my vs2480

Hi I am trying to sync Logic Pro 9 to my Roland VS2480 using MTC so I can control the transport section using the buttons on my VSA2480, When I press play on my VS2480 the play button on logic lights up ok but logic seems to be stuck in a in a small loop starting at -8.1.1.1. with only the last 1 digit moveing it gets to around -8.1.1.48 then reverts to -8.1.1.1. .If i then reset logic to bar 1 and press play again on my VS2480 Logic jumps back to position -8.1.1.1. and gets stuck in this loop again ,I have tried every thing I can think of to get round this but nothing seems to fix this ,I can get Cubase to sync ok wit MTC and Reason with midi clock Reason ,so I know my midi cables are fine.I have also tried using MMC but to no avail.Has anyone else had a simular problem and I can not find an email address to ask Logic Pro support .
Maybe the answer is simple and I am not seeing it ,but any help would be welcome
Thanks Kevin

Hi,
it seems that the VS2480 is starting at a different SMPTE/MTC time than Logic Pro.
It should work if you would adjust the SMPTE/MTC offset for Logic Pro accordingly.
Another solution (because Logic acts better as a SMPTE/MTC master than a slave):
Sync the VS as a slave to MTC (Logic MTC mster) and engage MMC for VS to be able to
control Logic's transport controls via VS control buttons.
Best,

Logic and Pro Tools

Hello all. I"ve got a few questions concerning Logic and Pro Tools. First, can you trigger Logic's sounds in Pro tools? ie Logic as the "slave" and Pro Tools as the "master" And can you record vocals into Logic using an MBox 2 or is there some other interface I need? If so, what would you suggest?
Thanks in advance for your time

You can use an Mbox2 with logic. If you already have pro tools, or plan on having it in addition to logic, thats what I would do, as both programs can use the mbox2. Although, they can't both use it at the same time. Which leads to this.
It is possible to have pro tools running using the mbox2 while logic is running, using your computers soundcard. I have done this, but I have found no real way to synch them. I've been looking at ways of syncing Logic and Pro Tools together on the same computer, and it seems to be not really doable, although I believe people have done it. A lot of people have one computer for Logic and one for Pro Tools and sync them together with time code, which works really well.
I'm really pretty new to logic, so I'm sure I dont have the best answers,
Good Luck!

HT1386 Trouble syncing iTunes and iPhone 4 wirelessly recently...

I have iTunes 11.0.2 and iPhone 4 iOS 6.1.3. Running on a OS X 10.6.8. I have the Wi-fi sync selected and my phone used to sync fine, but now it doesn't appear in iTunes any more. Both devices are on the same network and when I try to push my phone to "Sync Now" in the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, it says it will resume when my computer is available. I have tried restarting both, shutting both down and restarting, and doing a hard restart on my phone. Nothing.
Any thoughts? Thanks for your time and help.

Can I sync PC fonts and Mac fonts using Creative Cloud?

Can I sync PC fonts and Mac fonts using Creative Cloud?

Well, you should have a dedicated sync MIDI cable. Assign Logic to transmit MTC. Tell Cubase to chase it.
Song settings>Synchronization>MIDI
that is where you can tell Logic to transmit MTC. When routing back to Logic you shuld not expect significant latency and there are ways to offset it. The easiest would probably tell Cubase to run a little ahead of the clock. (Offset)
So there is the Logic settings panel Cubase has one similar, for chasing. If you use a dedicated audio interface and transfer audio digitally from PC to Mac then you would want to have then synced via word clock. I would put Logic as the master here again.
You're Welcome,

Audio midi sync error in logic and other apps

hey everybody,
after a system update, all my audio apps freakout when they have to playback midi channels. audio tracks work perfectly in all apps i use but using midi just clips the cpu meter all the way. in live for example which i use 100% midi, droputs and digital distortion will occur alsmost as soon as i press play. in logic it will take a few more seconds until the audio sync error appears asking me to check external devices. the thing is, although i usually output to my mbox 2, i have disconnected everything i use and have been trying it with the built in outputs and it's still happening.
please note all of this was not happening before the update and the exact same projects played back fine before. i'm positive it's something to do with midi. for example ableton live has been creating text files to its preferences folder titled midijitter etc. etc.
thanks for any bits help!
cheers

Hi,
I have the same problem. The problem happened after a system update (few days ago). I don't know which update caused this.(I updated several applications )
I re-installed Mac OS. I updated everything that the system updater suggested. And finally I tested with my applications. The problem still continues:
Sibelius, Pro Tools (and other applications using midi) can't play midi files correctly.
I also tested Quicktime; It can't play midi files correctly.
Thanks

Syncing issues with Logic and Akai MPC 1000

I followed the directions in the manual and even some advice on another forum related to MPC's, but I still keep having problems whether I sync as Logic being Master or Slave.
When I sync Logic as Master the Tracks are kept in time with each other but they are not syncing to the grid in Logic right. It's a little off even though I set a few blank bars at the beginning of the sequence I wanted to record, and set the the tempo in Logic to the exact same tempo on the MPC. When I go to copy and paste certain bars while arranging it's always off cause the tracks are not in time with the bars in the arrange window. I want the tracks to be in time with the grid so it is much easier to copy, paste and arrange.
When I try to sync Logic as Slave...I can't even get it to work at all. The transport location just seems to jog in place. The last digits in the transport just keeps repeating themselves but no others, and there is no movement of the play head. It's just stuck. I don't know why it's doing that. When I try to sync Logic as slave I make sure the MPC is NOT in slave mode whatsoever, and that Logic isn't sending (as far as I know) any Master info to the MPC, so I really don't understand why it locks up.
I'd really appreciate help in getting this sorted out as soon as possible.

Ok, so I checked the SMPTE offset. I switched it so it will start at 00:00:00:00 or what have you. Good news is that the play head is no longer stuck. The first time I tried this I got an error message saying "System Overload. The Audio Engine was not able to process all required data in time. (-10011)" after about 8-10 bars of recording.
Next time I tried this I did I stereo pass of one track and it worked perfect. It recorded the whole sequence and the sync was perfect. It was only that one time. Now I can't even get the empty initial bars to go through without getting that error.
What is happening with this? I should have a powerful enough computer. I have a 2.2 ghz Intel core 2 duo Macbook pro, 2 gigs of ram, os 10.4.11

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Apple offered a refund for users who purchased Logic Pro 9 30 days or less before the Logic Pro X launch, but they don't do it anymore, so if you want to upgrade to Logic Pro X, you have to purchase it in the Mac App Store
Part of this is incorrect...
Some App Store employee's "accidentally" (but in good faith) issued refunds to a few users who had purchased Logic 9 within 30 days prior to the mid-July release of Logic-X. Word quickly came down from Apple HQ that this was against App Store policy and the practice was immediately stopped.
To the original poster.. you never stood a chance, even if they were issuing refunds you didn't fall within the 30 day period. There were many who purchased Logic 9 a few days before the LX release who did not get a refund.

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". They are all registered. Help

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Each device has been registered onto this account and this computer, and all have worked finely in the past. I am so confused as to why now seemingly without reason, none of our apple devices (one iPod, two iPhones) are allowed to have music and other material downloaded onto them. Also, as a side note, they still are charged by plugging them into the computer, however they do not even show up on the left-hand sidebar in iTunes.
It should also be noted that for my iPhone it does not allow for the new update software to be uploaded; it just says that an error has occurred, nothing more.
