Help setting up my audio interface with logic pro x

Hi everyone,
I am a newbie with regards to home recording and using Logic Pro X and I need some help and advice about setting up my home recording set up for the first time. I want to connect my synthesizer Korg Triton Extreme to my Audio Interface Steinberg UR22 to my Apple Imac computer.
What I would like is if I can create backing tracks or use pre-set sounds or drum patterns from my Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer and then transfer them onto Logic Pro X to help me compose songs.
How should I go about doing this? And what settings should be applied to Logic Pro X so that I can hear the songs as they are being played and recorded?
So far I have connected my synthesizer's two outputs to the two inputs on my Steinberg UR22 Audio Interface. I have also connected the USB point on the audio interface to my Apple Imac computer. But when I have tried to add a drum track from the Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer I cannot seem to add any of the drum sounds. Nothing appears to be recorded despite me trying several times. I cannot hear any sound coming from the audio interface either despite having a pair of headphones plugged into it.
I would also like to find a way to synchronise the drum tracks I want to record from my Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer to Logic Pro X. So that when I click on the record button on Logic Pro X the synthesizer track automatically starts playing and recording on Logic Pro X. Whats the best way to do this? And will I need a Midi cable for any of the things I want to do?
Many thanks,
James.

Hi James
I just got myself a macbook pro and logic pro X, and I also have a Triton Extreme and the UR22. So I know what the learning curve can be like - it's been a long time since I've used a sequencer in a computer.
I assume you are aware of the difference between audio and midi? With your current setup, all you can do is play your Triton and record the sounds as audio loops - you should be able to hear the Triton through headphones plugged into the UR22, and (assuming you have installed the UR22 driver) you can also hear the Triton through your computer speakers (or headphone output) once you tell Logic there is sound coming in from the UR22.
If you want to be able to play the sounds in logic pro, or transfer drum patterns (which are in midi format), you will definitely need midi cables (you may be able to use midi by connecting the Triton's USB out to your computer, but having not tried that, I don't know if it will work - it does on more recent synths)

Access Virus Ti Polar - Interface With Logic Pro

I just purchased the Ti Polar and the instructions claims it can act as an independent audio interface for Logic Pro. I installed the software and see it under my "preferences" but nothing works. Does anyone have any experience with this? The synth is tremendous and again according to the instructions can control Logic, Ableton, Reason, etc...
Thanks.

Did you go into the Audio preference in Logic and select the Ti from the drop down list? If it doesn't show in this list, does the Ti show in Audio Midi Preferences in the Utilities folder?
As far as I remember, the Ti is only a 16 bit audio interface whilst the Apogee gear is 24 bit. Access mention some massive sample rate / bit depth in their marketing but that is for the analog converters only, not the audio interface via USB specs. It's really a bit of a con.
I sold my Ti because it's not what Access advertise both in sound quality (as a plug in) and as far as "Total Integration" is concerned. I had all sort of problems with sync and arps going out of sequence. The moment I started using a dedicated audio interface instead of the Ti, all my problems with latency, popping and crackling stopped. I sold it and bought Zebra 2.

Setting up an audio interface with logic 9

hey im still pretty new to this. i have a powerbook G4 with logic pro 9. i just got a steinberg CI1 usb audio interface which i was told would work with logic. (http://www.steinberg.net/en/products/hardware/ci1/ci1_start.html) im recording vocals and im having trouble with logic picking up any audio. ive installed the drivers and my mac has no problem discovering the interface. i went into logic and it intilized the core audio, and then i went to "prefrences" and set the audio input/output to the interface. i can hear myself with the headphones i connect to the interface and i can also hear the instrumental music coming from logic. The problem is logic wont pick up any of my vocals. I set the track to record enable and i still have nothing. Any help? Thanks!
oh and i tried it with garageband and it worked fine, so im pretty sure it has to do something with the setting on logic. any help would be appreciated!

Hey bud i was able to sort it quite easily in the end!
Ensure u have latest drivers installed!
Restart your mac! Ensure interface is plugged in
Load logic!
Click the + to add a new track:- select audio instrument!
Enable record and monitoring! Choose the channel you want to record from!
You may have to select your interface as your output if monitors are being used through the interface!
Hey presto!

Can anyone help!! with Edirol FA 66 Audio interface and Logic Pro 7

Hi I really need help!!
I have Logic Pro 7 and just have brough tnew Audio interface. I have connected it up via Firewire and my Mac has recognised drivers for interface.
I am plugging midi keyboard up to interface using two midi cables but cant get input signal through logic
PLease help someone!!

I have connected my Keyboard to my Edirol FA 66 Audio Interface
via midi cables
Ok, so you should be able to use the Casio to play Logic's instruments.
I would like keyboard to play into Logic and then be heard as an
output through my external speakers.
Well that's your problem, you've only connected it via MIDI cables - MIDI IS NOT AUDIO.
MIDI does not carry any audio signals at all, you cannot record audio via MIDI cables. You need to connect the stereo outputs of your keyboard into the audio inputs of your audio interface in order to record the Casio as audio, and/or to pipe it's audio through Logic.

How to set up an audio interface with logic express

i just got a deck board tascam us-1641, downloaded the driver, plugged in my keyboard but nothing is happening. What am I missing or not doing?

You probably have to set up Logic to use your audio interface.
You'll find these settings under the Logic menu > Preferences > Audio. Then you can select the preferred audio interface.

Using Multiple Audio Interfaces With Logic (Edirol FA-101)

I just bought tiger so that i could aggregate my two edirol fa-101's and they still dont work. They cut out and the sync buttons flash. Its as if the computer ant deal with so much information. I stop all large processes on my g5 dual 1.8 and try again. They cut out whether im in Logic or not. One works ok but still cuts out sometimes, adding another has made the problem twice as bad. Any advice please. Ive talked to edirol and they have no idea what to do... Thanks, Ben

According to their web page, the FA-101 does accept SPDIF. They should be wired together with one unit should be set up as a master and the other as a slave. You units should sync up then.
As they are right now, the two units are competing to sync with Logic, causing the sound to pop and cut out.

Audio Interface with Logic-best bet?

I've been using a Firepod for the last 2 years and it's fine but today a friend of mine brought over a MOTU MK3 Traveller and it sounds so much better. He got it recently but has to sell it and offered it to me for a good deal. It's got me thinking that maybe I should have a look at some other stuff before committing so now I'm looking at the Duet or maybe even an Ensemble. The Firepod was nice because of all the inputs but I could live with only two(Duet) but would much prefer four mic inputs(Ensemble).
The Ensemble might be out of my budget at the moment so do I buy the MOTU MK3 Traveller(four inputs) off my friend or get the Duet?
Any Advice?

I have and love the Apogee Duet, and it has served me well so far at home and doing field recordings with my Macbook Pro.
For instance, last week I recorded a sitar concert, and brought a small setup - a matched set of Rode NT1As, an A.R.T. MPA GOLD two channel tube pre, and my Macbook Pro/Duet combo. I barely had any time to get situated, and what's more, I got pulled into setting levels for the PA, which was kind of dicey, since the sitar master opted to forgo doing a soundcheck before the concert, so I had to wing it.
Before I scooted over to the board for the PA, I took an educated guess at some levels for the Duet and MPA GOLD. The Duet has such a low noise floor and such ample headroom that my educated guess was more than good enough. What's more, it is quite easy to use, so it took no time at all to dial in the gain setting I wanted, using the Maestro software that comes with it. The recording sounds gorgeous, considering the rushed circumstances of its setup. I would describe the quality of the Duet's sound as "crystalline."
That said, if you are looking for more channels in but are not ready to spend Ensemble money, we have a Mackie Onyx 1620 at work (or 1640 - I don't remember) that I use all the time for tracking all kinds of performers. Its pres are quiet and transparent, although they only provide so much gain. We run 4 channels of outboard pres through compressors and into four of the Onyx's pres. 8 XLR ins, 8 more ins arrayed in stereo pairs, all 16 channels are piped via Firewire 400 into Logic, and the two output channels back out. Plus, its a great mixer for conventional mixing purposes - good eq, simple, sturdy design. Not bad for under $1,000. I just saw they have a newer version out - the Onyx 1620i, but I don't know what that "i" is designating as far as improvements. They make Onyx mixers in several models, each with a different number of channels, so maybe one of these would work for you...
I hope this was helpful!

Can I use a VS-700C control surface with Logic Pro?

Hi,
Does anybody know if I can use a Roland VS-700C control surface and/or VS-700R audio interface with Logic Pro?
Cheers,
Craig

If it supports the Makie protocol, it might work... but I wouldn't purchase one on that basis without trying it first.

Not too hot about the jazz the Apple drum loops, does anyone know of a good drum software to interface with logic? Or, a loops source to get quality brush samples.

Logic has no decent jazz brushes in there drum loops!! What to do???

Hi j232..for interfacing drum i would suggest Superior drummer 2.0. It has all the loops u want plus it keeps getting the expansion packs (i mean u have to buy it )which are genre based so as of now it has everything from vintage kits to new age. Also it says on the site(toontrack.com) that its tested with logic.
I used it in mixcraft on my PC. and it was very easy, real and satisfying for me. Ordered it now for my new mac to interface with logic pro.
hope that helps
cheers

Audio/MIDI Interface Compatibility with Logic Pro 7.2

Hello,
Is/are there a recommended audio/midi interface(s) that will work without audio/midi timing glitches with Logic Pro 7.2? Currently, I am using Pro Tools LE v7.1, along with the DIGI002 Rack. That combination works very well, with no glitches whatsover. The possibility of using Logic Pro 7.2 raises the question of what would be a compatible interface. I don't think the DIGI002 Rack has the necessary drivers, although I may be mistaken. However, there must be an interface that works well with Logic Pro 7.2.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you,

Hello,
I went to the Metric Halo Web site and was not able to find the interface that you may have been referring to. It looks like the Mobile I/O may be the correct one, however, that interface is much more than I would want to spend (http://www.mhlabs.com/metric_halo/products/mio/)
The price seems to be @ $1200. Anyway, I am somewhat confused regarding the Metric Halo.
Any additional advice/help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. How do I get it to stop?

I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop? My sound is running through the Saffire Pro 40 Interface (Focusrite) into external speakers with powered amps.
Also, When I record I am hearing little pops in the system. I have checked all of my meters and they are not clipping. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop?

Pancenter,
Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tristan
Tristan...
This is what you have, correct?
http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
This from Alesis..
"The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

USB Interface Not Working With Logic Pro 9

Hello,
I've had a Tascam US-1641 for several years now with absolutely zero issues on my old PC. Ever since I upgraded to Mac (early 2011 17 inch Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard) I've had nothing but problems with the US-1641. No matter how many times I uninstall-reinstall the drivers and what USB port I plug it into, whenever I turn on the device and it's connected to my Macbook, it crashes my operating system and it freezes everything I was doing. Logic Pro doesn't load and when it sometimes does (10 minutes later), it immediately crashes when I click anything.
I've tried several tips to fix it and nothing worked. The most popular choice was select the default input/output in Logic to the system audio, then quit Logic, turn on the interface, then restart Logic. No such luck. I have to reboot my machine at least 5 times, uninstall/reinstall the driver and hope it works to use the interface. I thought it was the operating system, so I upgraded to Mountain Lion and installed the new driver for Mountain Lion, after of course deleting the other drivers and removing all previous data, and it is still giving me the same problems.
I don't have the money to afford a replacement model or a different interface from a different company, so I'm hoping you guys can help me figure out what exactly it is that's causing the interface to freeze my operating system and crashing my Mac whenever I try to use it. I am getting extremely frustrated at this and as much as I love OSX and Logic, what good is this piece of software if I can't use it? I need help.
Thank you.

The problem lies with Tascam and their inability to write stable drivers for OS X... and isn't anything to do with Logic Pro ..
As you know, you are not the only person to have had this issue and the reality is, while the 1641 might work fine with Windows, when it comes to OS X Macs.. it's an entirely different story... depending on the version of OS XS you are running.
The one tip I have read, that seemed to fix it for most people.. (Though not all) is as follows;
(Thanks to Paulypaulpaul for this)
-uninstall your tascam driver 2.10
-restart
-install driver 1.03
-restart
-plug in your tascam
-goto where you download your drivers (http://tascam.com/product/us-1641/downloads/), scroll down to the bottom where it says firmware, Download the firmware 1.02 (3rd from top under firmware), install it. your control panal should now read 1.03 for your drivers and 1.02 for your firmware.
-install drivers 2.10
-restart
Follow each of the steps exactly.. including all restarts when indicated..
...and good luck...
