Syncing logic express 9 with akai mpk61

hey guys,
i need some advice syncing akai mpk 61 or 49 midi controller with logics timecode, any suggestions or pdf's u can send me,
cheers,
peter

Considering the date of your post you may already know but Logic Express 9 is really just an upgrade from 8. It's could have been called 8.something rathern than 9. It's not really a new or different program so anything you were able to use with 8 you should be able to use with 9. Also the full studio program COMES with all the jam packs and Logic Express 9 comes with the voice jam pack (I think it's called that) so they definitely work with Logic.

Digital outs in Logic Express with 828 or 002 rack

Can someone tell me if it is possible to use the digital ins and outs of either my MOTU 828 or DIgi 002 rack with LE? It's no where as easy as Pro tools or DP!!

Forgive my naivety... when you say "digital outs" are you talking about SPDIF? Does this mean I can't run Logic Express with an interface connected to the SPDIFs on my G5? Only Pro? Or am I off the mark?
Thanks!

I have just bought a 2011 iMac (2.5 ghz, 4gb) and logic express 9, and when i installed logic and tried to run it i had a message saying 'you can't use this version of the application logic express with this version of Mac OS X. How do i sort this out!?

How do i sort this out!? It is very frustrating as the main reason i have bought a mac is to use logic! Any help would be great as i am a complete novice when it comes to Macs!

You're probably on OS X Lion?
I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

Logic Express with MBox

Can someone please help.Can I use Logic Express with an MBox and if so how.

Hey Roma,
welcome to the forum!
Assumming you had the drivers installed, (in Logic) go to the audio menu>audio hardware & drivers>Driver (change from built in audio to Digidesign HW (MBox), Relaunch, that's it.
((Click on (say) audio 1 (to select track) Press R to arm it and you shoud now have sound level on metters. Don't forget the I/O in logic is audio 1 = input 1, audio 2 = input 2, audio 3 = input 1, audio 4 = input 2 and so on (by default))
Kiddly regards,

Can I use logic express with my Macbook

I just got a macbook and i was wondering if I can use Logic express or pro on it??

yes!
it of coourse depends what you want to do with it - but yes!
by all acounts logic express and pro will run very well on the new macbooks.
I'm using pro on my old powerbook - just about manage to use it live and it's slow but useable to get ideas down onto and am using an intel imac as my main studio computer with logic pro 7.2.3 - it's essentially the same as a macbook except it doesn't have integrated graphics and it has a faster hard disk which does make a difference. Apart from that i'm sure your new macbook would toast my powerbook in terms of performance.
Be sure to get the intel version of logic (7.2 and above) as an older "ppc" version may run but is not supported and would probably run very slowly.
Enjoy!

Problems Using Logic Express with Alesis Multimix 8

Hi,
Does anybody have any experience of using the Alesis Multimix 8 USB with Logic Express 7.0.1? As far as I can tell the software is set up OK. The problem is that there is an awful amount of noise present on both the input and the output (sounds like inordinatley loud dither). The problem is also present on Garageband and iTunes but not with Cubase LE (bundled in with the Multimix).
I have searched and searched the internet for drivers for the Multimix but with no luck. At the moment I am just using the "core audio" USB codec drivers that are built in as I seem to have no other option.
Does anybody have any suggestions before I go ahead and buy another external audio interface? (got my eye on the new Behringer F-CONTROL AUDIO FCA202)
Rev. G Rock
PS I am running OS X (10.3.9) on a G4 iBook (1.33 GHz, 1.25 GB RAM) and have done all the updates available for Logic Express 7.0(.1)
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

OK I understand it's helpful to others to post solutions should you find them so here goes:
It would seem that the problem is with the built in CODEC used by OS X. You can update using the drivers available at http://www.usb-codec.com
I used the demo version to see if it solved the problem which it did. However you need to buy the software to get rid of the annoying beep every 30 secs on the demo version. well worth it to get my hardware working properly though.

Logic Express with Oxygen 25 - no sound

I am trying to use an Oxygen 25 controller with logic express. In Logic I can see that it is receiving a midi signal but I can not get any sound from the midi controller to come out. There is sound from everything else, but not the midi.
I feel like there is an easy answer (or they are not compatible), but a little help would be nice.

Hi,
you have to use the Controller with a software instrument track that has a software instrument selected as "input". A Controller like the Oxygen does not make a sound of it's own, but merely sends MIDI data to Logic, which then uses this data to trigger it's software instruments.

I cannot get Logic Express 9 to recognise Amplitube 3 as a plug-in. What do I need to do to make get it to use Amplitube. I'm new to Logic Express and I'm enjoying the on-board amp sims, but I really love my Amplitube.

Hopefully you will find this thread of help... In particular the very last post by gtrman...

Syncing Calendar Express with Pocket PC

I am trying to use Java System Communications Sync to synchronise with a Pocket PC but am coming across problems due to an outdated XTNDConnectPC.CAB file. I am coming across the error message:
"This program uses a file that is no longer supported. Please obtain an updated version of the program"
Any idea where I can source the updated version or how I can fix this problem?

Hi,
The next version of the Comm Sync software (2006Q4) is currently going through beta - so it won't be readily available for a few months yet. You may want to log a support request and see if they can supply a copy to see if this resolves the problem.

Using Logic 8 with Akai MPC 1000

Hi Everyone,
I've been using the AKAI MPC 1000 for a few years now, and purchased Logic Studio 8, right around the time Logic 9 came out, so I was able to get a good deal on it. However, I haven't used it up until recently, and I want to find a way to play my MPC right into Logic via audio. I have an M-Audio FireWire Solo interface, and I believe I have everything plugged in properly. Below I'll list how I have everything set up, so hopefully someone will be able to see something I'm missing.
1) Before i turn my computer on, I plug in the audio interface via firewire to my computer
2) I have instrument cables plugged into the outputs of my MPC, and into the inputs of my audio interface
3) When I plug in my interface to the computer and turn on my computer, a blue light on the interface turns on, indicating that it is in operation.
4) I open up Logic, and turn on my MPC
5) I create a new audio track, and press the record-enable button
Now, I thought this would be sufficient, however when I press the pads on my MPC, the levels in Logic do not appear.
So, I went into system preferences and put in the input to the audio interface, and the output to the headphones that I was using. Within system preferences, when I hit the pads it indicated that there were levels, however I still couldn't hear any sound.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

You were in System Preferences > Sound > Input, and you were watching the meter there. Watching that meter is a good way to confirm that your MPC is producing audio, and that your audio interface is properly conveying that audio into your computer. However, the controls in this window are generally irrelevant to Logic. These controls are mostly relevant when you are working with programs like iTunes and Quicktime Player. To get audio in and out of Logic, you have to create the proper settings inside Logic. Those settings inside Logic are here: Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio > Devices > Core Audio. Look at the Device menu. This is where you have to make sure your FireWire Solo audio interface is selected. Is it?
And then attach your headphones to the FireWire Solo, not to your Mac.
Create a new project in Logic, and create an audio track, and make sure that track is record-enabled (click R in the track header). That's all you should have to do. Hit the pads on the MPC, and you should hear it in your headphones, and you should see meters lighting up in Logic.
This should work if you haven't changed any other Logic settings from their defaults. If it doesn't work, there are a few other simple things to check.
You may eventually want to create a midi connection between Logic and the MPC, and not just an audio connection. But you can worry about that later.

Advice needed on sharing/registering logic express with 2 users

Me and my mate, have got into audio production, and i am wondering if we can BOTH register the same logic program.
Is there a specific limit on how many users can be on one single program? Surely logic must allow you at least 2 users, say incase you have a mac at home, and one in a seperate studio.
All replys will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

No Dan,
I'm affraid you can't do that, it's highlly Illegal,
You can't register one licence to two persons,
You can install it on two of Your machines, (not your mate's one)
for the reason that You can only use one at the time.
Otherwise, it will be a paradise, everyone would find software mates
and split the price and I would be on Pro instead of LE! :o)
I believe you can have LE as an academic (if you are one or your mate) for a fraction of the price.
Anyway, welcome to the forum, I wish that you have all the fun with LE and make nice music with it.
Kindly Regards,
Jorge

Logic Express with 10.5

Just upgarded to 10.5. I have Logic with MachFive and Stylus RMX installed and working, but I'm having trouble with Symphonic Orchestra. It seems as though I can't install it (because 10.5 doesn't support classic). Any ideas on how I can get Symphonic Orchestra installed and working?

Try using SheepShaver or starting up into Mac OS 9; if neither of those works, you cannot at this time.

How to have logical expression with value '*' not wildcard '*'

Hard drive options for Logic Express with a Mac Mini

I'm considering getting a Mac Mini to use for recording video from a medical endoscopic camera. The reasons for choosing a Mac Mini are 1) low cost 2) small size and 3) no fans - blowing dust around an operating theatre can be a risk (therefore even if cost wasn't an issue, the fans would preclude other mac models).
I've been looking at the spec of a Mac Mini - they have 5400 rpm hard drives and only 1 firewire 800 port. I'm using a Canopus ADVC 55 to convert analogue video to DV which connects using Firewire.
Will the built in hard drive be ok, or should I consider replacing it with a 7200 rpm drive, or get an external Firewire drive. PResumably, with only 1 firewire port on the Mac Mini I would need to find either a hard drive with 2 firewire ports to chain devices (which I've heard can be a problem) or perhaps get a firewire hub (similar problem?).
Currently I'm using a MacBook Pro with an internal 7200 rpm drive and this works fine (except when it gets low on hard drive space and I get dropped frames, leading to complete loss of the recording...).

Thanks - I just did a quick search and there are some Firewire 800/400 'bilingual' hubs around at reasonable prices.
I'm tempted to try the Mac Mini server, and perhaps have the 2 drives in a Raid 0 configuration. I could then have it backing up to a Time Capsule overnight (to mitigate the risk of using Raid 0).
Recording to an external drive might be useful though - as it would be a quick way of moving the data to a Mac Pro for compression for archiving. I find moving 10-20GB files over 802.11n to be very time consuming.
I'll certainly bear the dust in mind in terms of the risk to the Mac Mini (I've seen PC's having failed power supplies because the air inlets have been clogged with dust). My main concern however would be the risk of infection due to the fans causing air movement. There is an enclosed space it could be located, not great for cooling though.
