The Use Of SPDIF In Logic Express 7?

Hey all,does anyone know if the use of spdif in logic express 7 is possible? i have a motu 2408II and it has spdif in-out but im not sure if lofig supports it or not.i dont see it in the channel input area.

Thanks for your answer. The search function was disabled due to maintenance when I posted the topic. Now it is back up running.
I understand your reply. I think it is strange it is possible to get most presets already enabled when you use that Channel Strip 'insert' on the left, but not the "bus" settings. These bus settings do make the difference.
It is ok for me to do it manually. But I'm still curious wheter it is possible to do this automatically or not. It depens on some sounds, but a very good comparision is the Orchestra Fugue Organ from the Symphonic Orchestra Jampack. This sounds far better on Garageband compared to the default settings in Logic Express. I think most people will agree with me here.
Knows someone a trick to get 100% the same settings like in GB just by choosing this sound? Or do I indeed have to set up that manually (or is there another trick to make this an automatic process)
Another solution would still be starting my arrangment in GB...
Thanks for any support!

Actually I have found a way for at least the instrument plug ins to be accessed.
I was able to set up an instance of Sculpture in MS2 and record it in LE using Soundflower.
Route the audio from MainStage to Logic and record onto an audio track in Logic as follows:
If not already installed, get SoundFlower. After installing it.
A) Setup the sound you want in MS2 and audio output to Soundflower (remember to Apply Changes or it does not hold).
B) In Logic Express set the audio input to Soundflower and create a new audio track for recording. Important: set Soundflower's audio output to however you listen to your audio or you won't hear anything.
C) Press RECORD and start playing, LE captures Mainstage's sound.
I have not tried to wire LE's output to MS2 to take advantage of Space Designer. but since this functions, I'm not sure why that couldn't work as well. It is still flipping though a few screens though...might just be easier to get Logic Pro from the App store....

Can I use MainStage 2 with Logic Express 9.1.6

Is it possible to use MainStage 2 with Logic Express 9.1.6.? Are there any limitations to not having Logic Pro 9. I'm very happy with LE9.1.6. as it meets all my needs (perhaps with the exception of not having Space Designer) but if I need to upgrade to get the most out of MainStage 2 then I will.
Thanks.

Is anybody out there who knows the steps to set up Logic Express? with an Alesis iO|26 interface

Is anybody out there who knows the steps to set up Logic Express 9 (scores) with an Alesis iO|26 interface to input notes by playing
an electric guitar? Thank you for your time and patience.
W.W.

And i fount this
PETERSON SONUUS-G2M MIDI-KONVERTER
ok this one could sendout your guitar sound as a MIDI data but only monophone.
Thats what i see as a big computation problem ( when you play your simple C7 there are
at least 10 important parameter that describe your C7 chord; but if you play monophone
theese small boxes can convert it).
Have you tried anny MIDI guitar?
I saw some "usb" guitars transmiting midi signal into
software synth on some computer.

PLease help me with the best product to buy, Logic Express, which one?

Hi,
I have a macbook pro snow leopard 10.6.4 with garageband 09. I need a very simple to use editing and mastering program and wondered if the logic express would be best suited to my needs. If so, Then WHICH logic express is the easiest to learn that is compatible with my computer an with garageband 09?
I am not an engineer, so I need something user friendly, and self help along the way. Any suggestions on what to purchase would be great, and money IS a factor. If the logic express program would be best, does it have to be an '09 program?
So, What would be the best program for a beginner who needs good results? It seems with some of what i have read that some of these programs replace the garageband? I like garageband.
Help?!

I upgraded from GB to LE8 a few months ago and whilst there is a steeper learning curve it is much better, you won't regret it. If you're wanting to just do simple editing then LE 8 & 9 are pretty similar (i picked up LE8 very cheaply on ebay then decided to upgrade to 9 once I'd got my head around it to take advantage of flextime editing & the drum replacer). You'll find all the things you do in GB much easier, quicker, & more effective in Logic once you've learned how to use it. Both 8 or 9 are great for the relative lack of outlay, just depends how much money you want to spend is my advice.

What's the downside of starting with Logic Express?

I'm moving up from Garageband, and I record on a Macbook Pro with a Presonus Firepod interface.
I'm trying to decide whether to start with Express or Logic Studio. I think that Express will suit my needs fine, but at any rate, it seems like there's no downside as Express is $199 and the upgrade to Studio is $299. So even if I start with Express and decide I need Studio, it won't cost me any more than the full version of Studio anyway ($499).
Does anyone have an opinion?

Honestly, I think your original question answers itself. You are right on target in your thoughts. You can buy LE8 now and, if you decide to upgrade later, you can upgrade for a price that wouldn't cost you more than the original purchase of Logic Studio. I just purchased the upgrade from LE7, and the reason why I used LE instead of Logic Pro is that I refuse to use software with dongles. By adding external plugins and instruments, I was able to do pretty much what a Logic Pro user could do in my position (the extra features such as HDM support were unnecessary to me). Now, though, with what Logic Studio offers, I decided that $300 was a pretty sweet upgrade. Still, I could do a lot with LE7. LE 8, of course, is much, much better.
So, jump in to Logic Express 8 and see if it does what you want. One things for sure, though, and that is LE8 is a serious DAW out of the box for an incredible price.

How good is the music notation facility in Logic Express 9?

The music notation feature in GarageBand is frustratingly inadequate. For instance, using a piano keyboard it is impossible - as far as I can tell - to show notes below middle C as being played by the right hand. This means that some very basic chords appear in the notation as being physically impossible to play. For instance, if I play C1 & E2 in the left hand and G2, C3 And E3 in the right, the music notation shows the left hand as C1, E2 and G2. I can't stretch that far!
If I upgrade from GarageBand to Logic Express 9, will the music notation facility enable me to print what I play?

Not without a lot of trouble, and not in an easily readable way. E.g., if you put a quaver over two semiquavers (thats an eighth over two sixteenths), the quaver will be split in two, so you'll see 4 semiquavers, two of which are bound. Changing a note's staff is possible, but can lead to ugly results. Logic Express (and I think Pro too) doesn't have a ready-to-print scoring facility.
I can advise you to use Logic for recording. There you can edit it until all the notes are correct, and then export the midi file to e.g. the freeware MuseScore. That gives you great control over the score. If that doesn't suit you, you'll have to move on to Finale, Sibelius, Overture, ...

*Please answer in laymans terms , as , a geek , I am not ! ...*
*Regards ,*
Mike

I assume you have bought the Mac Version, have installed it and registered it?
I also assume you have read the installation instructions on the Korg website?
Usually, external digital Instruments are triggered by Logic via the AU (audio units) protocol. So, during the installation, the Korg Installer should have installed an AU version of the KLCDE onto your Mac. If it is installed in the right place, Logic should have recognized it during the next startup and should have validated it.
If all this is done, you can access it as any other software instrument. Look under the AU instruments submenu.
If not, Korg might have better answers than i have. You should ask them.

Using LP9 new to Logic Express diff's please?

Hi all.
I'm using logic pro 9, my brother in laws son is picking up logic express with his new lap top. Would any one know the differences (or limitations) between express and pro 9?
Thank you.
Rich

Hi,
the main differences are that LP9 has surround sound and some extra plugins like the the e-piano and SpaceDesigner. Apart from that, they are very similar.
Here's a comparison between LP8 and LE8:

Using Trillian, Stylus in Logic Express

Hello,
Logic newbie here. How do I find Trillian and Stylus in Logic. I see all the Logic and Garageband sounds in the "library", but no Spectrasonics. I can use both Trillian and Stylus RMX in Garageband with no issues, so I assume my plugins are where they're supposed to be on my Mac. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

If the plugins are loaded and verified in AU Manager then they will definitely be available in Logic as long as in the AU Manager the plugins checkbox is ticked.
I need to check again if we are looking at the same way to choose an Instrument in Logic. If you already do it this way sorry for repeating myself.
Close the Library and Media tab.
Click and hold on the Software Instrument channel strips Input slot. A drop down list appears.
Below the "Garagebnd Instruments" is -
AU Generators
AU Instruments
AU Midi control effects
In Au Instruments there is where Specraonsics : Stylus RMX and Trilian will be.

Using isight microphone with logic express 7.0? Can this be done?

Hey I'm not new to Logic, but I AM new to using this macbook pro. I can't seem to use coreaudio as my input, and choose the built-in mic as my input source. I have gone to system preferences > sound > input > built in mic and it is selected. Coreaudio is selected as my driver in Logic. Please help, or just tell me "you can't do that."
Thank you so much!

Try making a aggregate device that contains your isight in "Audio MIDI setup" and go from there. I did this briefly a few weeks ago just to see if it could be done and it worked.

Using Midi Mic in logic express

I recently bought a midi microphone and when I go to record, I cannot hear the instrumentals through the headphone. it is only letting me use one device at a time. When I choose to hear the music, I cannot record and the other way around. Someone please give me a solution. thankyou

You have to create an aggregate device:
1. launch Audio Midi Setup;
2. select the Audio pane and under the menu Audio choose Create Aggregate Device;
3. in the new window type a name for your device;
4. add (with the + button) the USB mic and activate Input;
5. add internal audio and activate Input and Output;
6. open Logic and, in the Audio preferences, choose the new created device;
7. choose the right inputs and outputs.

Please help with Logic Express 7 and using DFH plugin!

Hey guys, I'm really in a tight spot here as I have no idea how to get my setup working properly. I recently bought an entirely new Imac, Logic Express 7, and a drum plugin called Drumkit From **** Superior (VSTi I believe is the type of plugin they call it). It is supposed to be compatable but I see no way to get it to show up as a plugin. I tried some other programs and it shows up as a plugin and I'm able to get into the interface, but I can't in LE7.
It is supposed to be compatable as a "rewire" plugin or something like that, but I'm not too sure how to approach that differently, both manuals are very vague.
Basically, I'm wondering:
1. How would I go about getting Drumkit From **** Superior to show up as a "plugin" (and what it would be under) if I have to use it a "rewire"?
2. If I could get it running as a plugin, how would I go about programming a drum part using that "drumkit" in Logic Express?
Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.
-Daniel

It's a tough one man, I'm actually wanting to go for EZdrummer which I think comes under the same umbrealla as DFH, the patch will come to let you upgrade to intel hopefully by September so hold onto that plug in as I think it'll be worth it in the long run. In the mean time do you have any other options to make beats?
I use Reason 3.0, I sequence my beats using Reason Drum Kits 2.0 and export them as WAV or AIFF files into Logic, do you have anything similar that you can do? write you beats else where and import into Logic?

The synth pad sound Warm Pad has changed after upgrading from Logic Express 7 to Logic Studio

Hello!
I have composed a lot of songs over the years using Logic Express 7, and my favourite synth pad sound there was a sound called Warm Pad (from the EXS24 Sampler).
A half a year ago I upgraded to Logic Studio, mainly because I needed WaveBurner. Happily, all my songs sounded exactly the same after the upgrade, except from 1 sound: The synth pad sound Warm Pad. It still got the same name and location, but the sound was replaced with a very sharp and much more distinct sound (not warm at all, in my ears at least).
I have tried to replace it with different synth pad sounds from the EXS24 Sampler, and the one I find to come most close to the old Warm Pad from Logic Express, is a synth pad sound called Pad 1. Still, I don’t think it sound exactly the same.
So, in order to finish all my songs and make an album, I ask you for help:
1. Do you know how I can get EXACTLY the same sound as the old Warm Pad Logic Express, with my new Logic Studio?
2. Have you experienced the same with sounds, after upgrading from one Logic version to a newer one? And what have you done to find back to the old sounds?
I will be VERY thankful for help, because I am not a genius in the mysterious (but yet exiting) world of synthesizer synthesis.
Best regards,

I have the boxed version of logic studio.
When you install, if you pick the "ad hoc" installation you can add the logic7 patches to your existing patches.
I think running installation again you should be able to install just that.

Logic Express does not show the waveform of the audio after recording

This week, Logic stopped showing the waveform in track.
At the time of recording the wave is usually draws but as soon as I stop is theonly track in a straight line as if no audio recorded, the audio is usually recorded, you can apply effects and plug-ins but it is impossible to edit.
Sorry for any errors in the text, I am Brazilian and I'm using google translator.
Thank you!

after hours of searching I think I found the solution in a post 2010. I do not know for how long, but now it's all working

you won't find the .plist files via spotlight - they are excluded from search,
go to (user)/library/preferences/
there you'll find the files named com.apple.Logic Express (xyz whatever).plist
delete them. Logic will rebuild them from scratch.
