Third Party Sample plug is sound out of tune in Logic X

Hi there:
I am using external libraries as plug ins with Logic X, and I am getting a few instruments sounding way out of tune. Initially I noticed it with the Vienna Symphonic Library, and now I am having the same problem with East/West smaples. What is the problem?
I made the clain to the support team at the Vienna Symphonic Library and they absolutely assure me that their samples are tuned at 440 Hz for A. I have managed the problem with Vienna Samples by tuning each instrument with my guitar tuner. But this is a serious nuisanse!
Today, I opened a project that I created in Logic 9 late last year, and many of the sounds from East/West were way out of tune! This is a disaster!
Can you advise what the problem could be?
I have a MacBook Pro from April 2010 withan i7 processor, 8 GB of RAM and an internal 1TB SSD for my third party sample instruments, with a Fireface 400 sound card,
Thanks in advance

I don't know that is a huge number of alternatives for Fractal plugins. You'll no doubt come across links for Fractalius and Genuine Fractals, but the first produces interesting strand like effects (after a very long wait) and the second is an image resize plugine which now belongs to On One, and is sold as Perfect Resize. And even that has been made irrelevant by the Preserve Details upres option in CC.
You are alos wize to be careful. Previous trusable sites like cnet on softonic are a nightmare nowdays, and too many of the free apps you find on them come loaded with malware. Some of it _serious_ malware DAMHIKIJKOK

Compressor Audio plug-ins (can you add third party audio plug-ins?)

Compressor Audio plug-ins
Can you add third party audio plug-ins? Just need a simple audio compressing/mastering solution for a lot of non-technically minded producers. So trying to avoid using soundtrack.

Hi B
Really sure You are looking into Your "user" folder ?
In this there is a folder with in my case "my account" eg "Bengt"
in this ther IS a library folder
and in this ther should be an iMovie folder. If not I would make one
and into this put a folder "Plug-ins" and in this put Your plug-ins.
Restart Your Mac and open iMovie and see if it found the new plug-ins.

Saved backing track sounds out of tune

Hi everyone,
I am having problems recording external audio (a backing track with drums and keyboards) from my synthersizer to Garageband. Sometimes when I do this it is saved successfully but it sounds out of tune and I am not sure why this is?
My synthersizer is connected to my apple computer with an audio cable and I always try to make sure that the tempo of the track on my Korg Triton Extreme synthersizer is the same as the tempo/speed on the track I have created on Garageband.
Any advice about this matter would be gratefully received.
Many thanks.

Sculpture is not like other synths, period. One can't assume it obeys the laws of traditional subtractive or FM synthesis. The beast acts like a string. If the tension is slack, like putting a .07 string on the first string of a guitar, the note will be flat when struck and then become more in tune as is decays. Sculpture requires a lot of tweeking time to understand. The string tension, density and resolution are critical parameters. The higher or lower the note requires settings to couteract out of tune notes via these parameters. There are also "residual" effects that happen, perhaps even bugs. For instance, sometimes a reverb from the end of a track that had not finished it's tail before stopping, will be continued when the track is started from the beginning again. Sculpture has these residual effects but they can take different forms. Sculpture takes into account the vibrations of any note previous to a note played. That's to say if you play a note fresh with no note having been played before it, it will sound different if you played the same note and there had been a note played previous to it because it understands there are vibrations already happening which it encompasses into the new vibrations. So if there are vibrations still tailing off and you hit stop, those vibrations may act again at the beginning of the song and change the tuning of the first few notes. To make sure this doesn't happen, extend the song end and let any tails of synthesis or reverbs to complete before starting the song again. That being said, you will never get the same sound twice with Sculpture, it will play differently every time! It's almost human. Lovely synth, my friend.

How to handle Third party management WRT to Lease out in SAP - REFX

Dear Friends,
I would like to have an advice on Third party management of a property WRT to (SAP REFX) Lease out.
Example: Under a company code – 1000, I have some 8000 number of properties which is my own and I am doing Lease out with the same.
Out of 8000 properties I have sold some 500 properties to a different company code XYZ, up to here its fine.
Now XYZ Company is asking me to lease out the 500 properties through my company code ( 1000) only and for that I will get the commission of some percentage, i need to bring this to REFX system.
As I have three deferent Opinions in my mind to handle this scenario as below :
1. Usage of SAP REFX (Standard) third party management option
2. Creating a dummy company code and lease out the properties.
3. In the existing co code itself, I will lease in the properties from XYZ company code & then I will have one more new contract type to lease out and creating a new condition type as Brokerage charges…etc.
Kindly suggest me the better option to make it user friendly solution.
Kindly treat this as a priority issue.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Subbarao.Narne

Dear Mr.Kishore,
Thanks for your advise. But my requirement is as below.
Property belongs to some OWNER - A. ( example - rent is 1000 rs / month)
Its leased out to Tenant - B
I am dealing here as a third party between A & B ( so rent is coming to me only from B later i will pay to owner A) , for that i am getting some commission from A some 10 % ( approx ).
i need the final ( FI ) rental entries as below.
Rental Entry
Tenant ( B ) A/c DR    1000
Owner A/c CR               1000
Commission A/c Entry
Owner ( A ) A/c DR             100
Commission A/c CR              100
Kindly advise to do needful, pls consider it as a priority issue.

How ou where install third party vst plug

Hello,
does somebody know how or where install third parti vst plug ins?
thank you

Dan,
Did you read my post above yours?
Logic Pro X does not use VST plugins.. It only uses 64bit Audiounit (AU) plugins..
and....
To install most plugins you simply use the installer that came with the plugin... or follow the instructions that came with the plugin..

M-audio keystation 49e suddenly out of tune in logic 8

I've searched these forums and elsewhere on the net and haven't found a solution to my particular problem.
My M-Audio Keystation 49e keyboard controller (it's an old one, probably 8 years or so) is suddenly playing notes at about 31 cents flat in every softsynth that I've played it on today (EVP88, EXS24, Camel Alchemy, Dan Dean Bass). It's worked fine for years. I'm running Logic 8 under OS 10.6.7.
It does this no matter what octave setting I have it on. I haven't used any of the Advanced Functions of the keyboard, but just to be sure I followed the manual's instructions to reset everything (as best as I could anyway...it just said to press the Advanced Functions key and then tap the C#3 key to clear whatever settings I had, which were none). The pitch wheel is a springy one and is physically in the right spot - I saw in some discussions about making sure it's set to 64 but I'm not sure how to check that.
Any thoughts on this? I'm not sure if the problem is within the keyboard or within Logic and am not sure where to look next. In the meantime, I've pitched up the EVP88 by 31 cents and that at least gets the notes in tune, but I don't want to do that for every synth I play and then have to go back and change them or be confused by it later ha ha!
Thanks for any help!

Not liking these new Apple forums. Just lost my latest posting....aargh! Wish I had copied what I had written before the error....
Basically, this link http://www.logic-users-group.com/forums/showthread.php?t=686 and this one https://discussions.apple.com/message/12935908?messageID=12935908 seemed to help. Looking in the Environment, I clicked something (not sure what) that put the synth back in tune. Then I went to Project Settings as described and checked the Pitch Bend Input Filter. Oddly, after doing that, the pitch bend rests at 53 instead of 64 and I'm back out of tune.
I'm guessing that it's time for a new controller. Sigh.

Third party ImageIO Plug-Ins

I'm writing an application using ImageIO for reading and writing images. All worked fine with the standard ImageIO package in Java 1.4.1. Then I wanted to have the ability to read and write other image formats than gif, jpg and png. So installed JAI ImageIO tools, but some bugs occured and even metadata is not supported for jpg. That's why I want to know where I can find other ImageIO plug-ins. I don't want to have any large packages that support many formats. I want to install plug-ins separately for each image format.

See whether code in this can help , things i looked into, while i was doin some of the image stuff..i digged these up from my bookmarks..

Problems using third party Flash plug-ins for Captivate 4 content

I'm using a few Flash CS4 plug-ins (Control VR, 3D Carousel XML) that work perfectly well in Flash.
However, when importing the animations into Captivate 4, numerous cryptic errors occur which seem to be related to the XML file.
Do I need to do anything different when importing Flash animations that include XML data? The XML files are all in the same folder as the Flash movies and the Captivate file, but it still doesn't work.
Any help appreciated!

Hi Kevin,
Because this is a commercial plug-in and therefore I cannot test it without purchasing the component. I would recommend that you report this issue to the Adobe Captivate team and send them the both the source CP file and the component. Although I have had some success in getting XML code recognized by CP there could be many reasons why the XML code from this component is not being intrepreted.

How do I install third-party VST plug-ins in Logic Pro??

I am mystified - nowhere in the manual can I find any instructions for installing other plug-ins. Surely it is very simple - but then so am I... Can anyone help?

You can use a VST/AU converter such as this:

Granted, it's not guaranteed, not supported by Apple and not free buuuut, it's worked for me with Ruby Tube, a VST plug that I really couldn't live without.

Do third party replacement tips fit on the apple in ear headphones? I prefer foam tips as they block out much more sound, but I'm not sure if Apple use the standard fitting for headphone tips!?!?!?!

Do third party replacement tips fit on the apple in ear headphones? I prefer foam tips as they block out much more sound, but I'm not sure if Apple use the standard fitting for headphone tips!?!?!?!

Answer found. Please find below an amazon review explicitly mentioning adding third party foam tips. Sounds like they fit and work like a dream:
"As a audio engineer, I own about a dozen different sets of earphones and in-ear 'phones. My favorite, by far, are my sure SE530s. I have some Sennheiser cx400s which are good workhorses, but lack the finesse, clarity and stunning accuracy of the Shures. For convenience, I bought the Apple's, as I wanted something I could use with the phone for calls.
I found the sound to be quite clear and beautifully clean, but like many, no matter how I tried, the stock Apple tips never made a good seal. The seal is absolutely essential to getting bass out of a balanced armature design. For you non-engineers, just trust me that if you don't have a proper seal, you will have no bass.
In my case, I think the trouble had to do with the largest size being a tiny bit too small, and the silicon being too rigid, yet slick, so they left small airgaps and were easy to remove. I tried using some foam tips from a third party, but their large was more of a medium, and never came close to a snug fit.
As an experiment, I dug around in my ear-tips from my Shure's and tried their rubber tips which are about the same size as Apple's large tips, but made of a more pliant and slightly sticky rubber.
OMG, what a transformation. Suddenly the sound blossomed, the bass became rich and well balanced, and the "top-heavy" sound was totally mellowed into a rich, well balanced and incredibly detailed presentation.
Make no mistake, these are the best 'phones under $200 I have ever heard. The bass is deep and warm, very detailed, and totally lacking fuzz or buzz that I can hear in the Sennheiser set. Look at getting tips from a better headphone. The trick is it has to have a soft rubber base that can expand over Apple's slightly larger stub. Some tips, like the Shure foam tips, have a rigid plastic sleave in the tip to keep it's position correct, and these won't expand over the larger Apple posts."

Installing third party instrument samples

I just purchased and installed Vienna Instrument's Special Edition. Nothing tells me how to import the samples into Logic Pro's tracks, and Logic Pro isn't any help either - it says refer the VI manual (and adds the helpful comment that if third party samples are properly installed, they will work just fine).
I went through the installer tutorials, including mapping to the folders that hold the VI instruments. I also watched the basic online tutorial on how to use the VI Instruments Standalone (which is no help because I'm trying to import these sounds into Logic, and neither Logic nor the VI manual give you ANY indication how these two pieces of software have any relationship to each other.)
Classic example of manuals being written from the world view of the informed, instead of thinking what somebody without any background in this would need to know (i.e. the people who actually need the manuals). It's like trying to find the interstate entrance in New England - "If you don't know how to get there, you don't belong there."
I'm also experiencing all kinds of crackling and latency, having simply installed the samples, without having plugged any of them in to a Logic Pro track - seems like I'm scraping the bottom of my memory without having done ANYTHING yet. (Macbook Pro 1.86 GHz, 2GB DD2 Ram).

Yes,
I am able to open VI's stand alone software and hear the samples. I have no idea what the "AU Manager" is and nothing in the Logic Pro manuals give any indication of such a thing (continously curious to me how all these manuals are written for those who don't need them). Can you tell me how to find and run this AU Manager that seems critcial to getting started, since Logic Pro and VI apparently don't seem to think it's necessary to mention it (and yet they tell you to read the manuals cover to cover...)?
Yes, the Vienna Instruments component is in it's correct folder.
And yes, I've restarted the computer and all the software a dozen times.
Yes - the syncrosoft license is installed and operating correctly.
If you've got other ideas of why this won't work, let me know. I'm burning up a precious weekend on something that ought to be brain-dead easy to do.
I've also got the MacProvVideo DVD tutorials for Plug-ins and for EXS24 (Martin Sitter's group). What a joke. They explain all about the complex conversion of non-native instruments like AKAI, and completely ignore telling someone how to connect VSL to Logic Pro. Again, assuming it must be too easy (who do they think buys tutorials?).
Very frustrated over what should be a very simple process.
Help??

Logic Pro 9.1.1 AU third-party plug-ins ongoing issue for many

Where is the Logic development team on this? Nearly all third-party AU plug-ins produce random pops and clicks at the beginning of playback and on occasion randomly during playback but before audio regions in tracks with these plug-ins installed. These pops and clicks are even visible in the track's meter. http://www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/482381-logic-3rd-party-plugs-pop- click-nightmare-how-does-rest-world-do.html How many people need to complain? Is Logic Pro considered production software?

I can't imagine a more textbook and apple-friendly environment than what I have. 32-bit is not the problem. I don't believe logic runs at 64 until you're on os 10.6 and I'm still on 10.5.8. My entire rig is what you'd see in an apple store logic demo. I've tried nearly everything:
1) All standard optimization tips including but not limited to no date/time updates, no airport/wi-fi, no bluetooth
2) I have a ultra high-quality external fw drive by G-drive
3) Standard issue ensemble with updated firmware
4) Moving AU component files from system library to user library
If you look at the number of people commenting on the GS thread as well as other forums – the problem is common and needs to be fixed. I'm not the only logic user plagued by this issue:
http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=43306
http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=50030
I really believe it has something to do with how many third-party plug-ins handle AU's reset or initialize callbacks; somewhere in between. This bug is clearly affecting many users and I'm coming close to starting a petition and devoting some serious time to making a big dorky stink about it on youtube.
Either the AU spec needs to be updated to clarify some tricks (or hacks) specific to Logic's on-demand DSP usage or the logic team needs to publish a notice to all "Logic" AU developers. Optionally, if Logic had a preference to turn OFF on-demand AU DSP (so that plug-ins are always-on like in every other DAW or...ugh...outboard gear). Logic's on-demand AU DSP handling is outdated considering the processing power available in ANY apple computer made within the last 3 years. My CPU meter in Logic barely even lights up. On-demand DSP is overkill and antiquated and the least Logic can do is provide production or mission-critical users the ability to opt-out if they have the CPU power to do so.
Having said all that; I hope I'm wrong about something and can come back here to eat my words and feel very embarrassed about my rant. I'm going to keep digging for solutions – hopefully, I'll find out the secret to whatever it is the few of you are doing to keep your third-party AU plugs quiet before an audio region starts.
Also; Scott at Stillwell Audio has graciously begun trying to track down this very issue and is one of the few DSPers who has taken interest in helping Logic folk.
