Tell me where to go-I have bought logic express 8 - Recording live music.

I have Macbook 2
Presonus Firepod 8 in
PA gear
500 gig Firewire drive
We play live and I just want to hit record and play.
I stop at breaks and save the files.
All of this works great!
Now any advice for someone who has five hours of music recorded with the default settings for each channel. For example why does it say midi files instead of audio files?
Hey I am serious, I am looking up at a real steep learning curve.
I have mixed some material down (bounced) to Itunes, it sounds great, but I am driving a fast car with no experience. So any advice, ABC's of live recording, any tips?
I am just a guitar player in his fifties who has been given the tools, but could sure use some common sense.

Hi, and welcome!
Please note this is the Logic Pro forum - you should post your queries in the Logic Express forum.
So... No one here is going to type out the Getting Started manual for you - crack it open with a cup of coffee, or if you really can't be arsed to read a manual, then I'd suggest getting some tutorial videos from MacProVideo.com - about the fastest way of getting you up to speed with Logic.

  • I bought Logic Express in September for the $200 that Apple is now charging for Logic Pro. Anybody in the same boat? Is it worth another 2 bills for the the Pro? Is there any kind of "upgrade" pricing?  Thanks, all

  • I have bought quite a lot of music on iTunes, both on the computer, and on the iPhone 4. Now, I have gotten a new PC, and music is lost. Why not make it, so that you can always re-download music? ******* stupid, this other way.....

    Seeing that this has become quite a problem, I need to tell you all about this crap.
    I have been forced to buy a new PC, due to the old one breaking down. (Finally, had it for 8 years...)
    Now, while I have taken a backup of the iTunes Library, including music, apps, movies etc. And put in the new iTunes folder on the NEW PC, somehow, quite a lot of the music, previousley downloaded from iTunes, have gone missing. It was still on my iPhone, but when I plugged it in to synchronize, they got "kicked out" - and are now no-where to be found. I am quite frankly HIGHLY unsatisfied with this issue, and want to know, if there is a way to redownload my music, without involving iTunes Store Support into it. Mostly, because I think they are quite nice people, but with very limited options when it comes to helping each individual in a way, satisfying enough. I have had previous encounters with them, turning out quite... harsh.
    Let me know what you think, and if I should write a formal complaint to iTunes Store.
    Regards,
    Mark.

  • Just bought an apple tv and it wont stream music from my imac. when i click on the apple tv music icon it goes straight into the itunes store and so i can only access the music i have bought from itunes not the music i have stored in itunes on my computer

    i just bought an apple tv and it wont stream music from my imac. when i click on the apple tv music icon it accesses the itunes store and brings up only that music i have purchased from apple instead of all the music i have stored in itunes on my imac.

    The music icon will only access your purchased music. You need to go to the computer icon. It must be on and running iTunes, and home-sharing enabled in order for it to be accessible to Apple TV

  • I can't upload music I have bought from itunes into my music app from itunes - can anyone help

    I had an iphone 4 and upgraded to the iphone5 - I am trying to sync my music and for some reason I cannot upload all the music I purchased from itunes - can anyone help here....?
    Cheers!

    There seems to be a problem with the latest iMovie and purchased iTunes songs. The work around until Apple fixes iMovie is to put the song you need in a playlist, burn them to an Audio CD. Now in iMovie either try adding them directly from the CD, at which point they would be copied into the iMovie project as AIFF files or if that doesn't work (I ca not recall if you can add directly from a CD or not) then reimport the songs from the CD to iTunes (AIFF will work for sure and I have never had issues with music in MP3 format with iMovie projects) then use the reimported version in iMovie.
    Cheers,

    Hi!
    Just for future reference, I've moved my site to http://pondini.org, since Apple is dropping web hosting in June.
    Both sites are active now;  after a few days, I'll put redirect notices on the old one, then leave it there until it goes "poof."

  • I bought about 350 musics on iTunes but when I click on the link to see the musics I bought, it shows only 204 musics

    I bought about 350 musics on iTunes since I started using iPhone, but when I click on the link to see the items I have bought, iTunes shows me only 204 musics. This is a problem that annoys me because I have authorized a new device where I'd like to listen to all musics I have bought. I have already turned on the automatic transferences on the iTunes preferences so that all musics, books and apps are automatically transferred to the device. Even so, iTunes continues to show only 204 musics and I am not able to see all musics I have bought.
    So, is there anything I'm missing here? Is there other local on iTunes where I could see all musics I have bought instead of only a subset of them?
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Márcio

    Just to better clarify what is happening: when I click on the link to show the musics I have bought on iTunes, musics that I had already bought some time ago do not appear anymore. So, I'm not able to download them anymore. For instance, in the set of the musics iTunes does not show me anymore there are 17 Peter Gabriel's musics. They are not shown and I cannot download them. So, how could I be able to download all musics I have bought instead of only 204 musics?
    Thanks again

  • Should I get Logic Express if I have Soundtrack Pro?

    Hi,
    I am new to Soundtrack Pro and was wondering if I should get Logic Express. I am looking for even more music and sound effects for video productions.
    Does Logic Express offer more music and sound effects then Soundtrack Pro?
    What is the major differences between Logic Express and Soundtrack Pro?
    Thanks.
    Andy

    I think LE8 might be very useful tool indeed, if you are looking for more sound effects and creating your own music.
    Both applications allow audio mixing, but with LE you can also use Software Instruments to create unique sounds or to compose entire songs. Plus, LE is more convenient for audio production, just like SP is more convenient for creating and editing soundtracks for movies/video.
    Not sure about the effects plugins, but LE might have a wider collection of them.
    I think it definitely won't be a waste of money to purchase LE, because it will extend your sound production capabilities.

  • HT3546 So i recently bought an Apple AirPort Extreme BaseStation (the mushroom shaped one) and was wondering if someone could tell me where and how to find a power cord and how to set it up with my Macintosh (2011 edition with 1.7.5) Thankyou! :)

    So i recently bought an Apple AirPort Extreme BaseStation (the mushroom shaped one) and was wondering if someone could tell me where and how to find a power cord and how to set it up with my Macintosh (2011 edition with 1.7.5) Thankyou!

    Welcome!
    Last question first, as we need to know what operating system that the Mac is using.
    If you are not sure, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac, and post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.
    Two possible solutions on the power cord
    ORIGINAL OEM APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION POWER SUPPLY AC ADAPTER A1202 if you want a white power supply and white power cord to match up with the Apple device
    AC adapter for Apple AirPort A1034 Extreme B... if you don't care what color the supply and cord might be
    If you don't already have a Setup Guide.....look here:

  • I bought this very nice iMac. The first time I ever use a Apple product. Can someone please tell me where the delete key is on the keyboard. I cannot think for one moment that Apple did not provide for such a key. Please help.

    I bought this very nice iMac. The first time I ever use a Apple product. Can someone please tell me where the delete key is on the keyboard. I cannot think for one moment that Apple did not provide for such a key. Please help.

    The delete key does a backward delete because it is the natural way to delete while typing. May not be to you and the millions of youngsters who grew up with windows computers. When you are typing and want to delete that which you just typed you are already at the end and you delete back to where you want to re-type. When you go back to a document and want to delete a selection, you have to go to the end of the selection instead of the beginning. it's just the way its always been done on macs. it takes some getting use to.
    If you select text to be deleted with your mouse then the delete key deletes the selected text. same for either delete key method.
    It is not convenient when you tab to fields in a form. That why fn-delete does a forward delete.
    Macs have a couple of keyboards. The small "wireless keyboard" only has the (backward) delete (fn-delete forward). The larger "Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad" has both a Delete (backwards) key beside the = abd it has the "delete >" key in the groups with fn, home, end, Pg up and Pg dn. This keyboard is best for users who have switched from windows or are familiar with the windows forward delete.

    Apple could not tell you who else might be using your credit card, so there's no point in trying to contact them. All they could discuss with you is your own iTunes Store account, and if there's nothing in your purchase history, the charges almost certainly aren't coming from there. Again, you should take this up with your bank/credit card company and report these charges as fraudulent. They probably will cancel your card and issue you a new one.

  • Is there any kind of Apple Company policy that Apple's iPhone can only be repair or service at the place from where the iPhone have bought?

    Hello,
    I'm Chintan from India. I have visited UK for study and brought iPhone 5 for me. I used it for about 16 days and now its started showing the problem of coverage. I mean, it shows "NO SERVICE" at the place of carrier name and tower symbol.
    My query:
    Do Apple have this kind of worthless service provider policy?
    I have visited the local authorized service center and they are not accepting my iPhone 5 and telling me that they can not accept it for repair or service because I have brought it from UK. I have checked my iPhone 5 status on the Apple Site and it is showing full cover of Repair and Service, then why the local Apple Authorized Service Center is not accepting my iPhone 5?
    Is there any kind of Apple Company policy that Apple's iPhone can only be repair or service at the place from where the iPhone have bought?
    Kindly help me out as I'm stuck with the so called APPLE IPHONE 5.
    Looking for the POSITIVE, SUPPORTIVE and HELPFUL reply.
    Thank You

    You should have read the warranty/support terms before you made your purchase. Had you, you would have found that iPhone warranty/support is only valid in the country of original purchase(except for the EU where warranty/support is EU wide). In your case, your warranty/support is only valid in the EU, as you have now found out...after your purchase. And, you are correct, they will not service the phone in India.
    Always been this way with the iPhone.
