Universal Audio Nevana 32 or other universal audio mac cards with mac pro

Hello, I am thinking on purchasing an Universal Audio Card and using it with a mac pro and logic studio.
Does anyone know if they have used or know about using a Universal Audio card (UAD-2 Nevana 32), or any other universal audio card?
Can you use this card with a mac pro and logic studio and does it have any latency issues? And can you use the Universal's mixor and logic's mixor at the same time, Or do you just use the plug ins on the UAD when using logic. Also it looks like it comes with one input on the card, so how do you plug in multiple guitars and bass and piano, or do you just run one input in and buy a input device for it (what would I need to buy for that?), Thanks so much.
Lou.

Can you use this card with a mac pro and logic studio and does it have any latency issues?
Yes you can. And yes, all DSP cards have latency, it's how they work. The UAD2 is better than the UAD1 in this regard, but in general, DSP cards are not used for tracking, they are used for mixing.
And can you use the Universal's mixor and logic's mixor at the same time,
I don't know what a "mixor" is. If you mean mixer, then you use Logic. The UAD card has no such thing as a mixer.
Or do you just use the plug ins on the UAD when using logic.
You use whichever plugins you want - Logic's own plugins, third-party native plugins, or plugins running on the UAD card in any combination.
Also it looks like it comes with one input on the card, so how do you plug in multiple guitars and bass and piano, or do you just run one input in and buy a input device for it (what would I need to buy for that?),
Er... perhaps you need to reassess what a UAD card is. It's not a sound card. Think of it like a specialised computer that runs special programs. When you load a UAD plugin, instead of the computer's CPU processing the audio, it's the computer on the UAD card that processes the audio - in ohter words, the plugin code runs on the card, but to all other respects UAD plugins behave just like any other plugin.
All audio I/O and routing is handled by Logic.

  • M-audio stops working with Logic Pro as soon as I hit play

    I've not found a solution to this anywhere. I've got Logic Pro 9 and hooked up a M-Audio Oxygen 49. The computer and software see the Oxygen okay and I can play any sound I want through the software. Until I hit play - trying to add a track to a recorded song - and the led indicator makes some strange outputs and goes black and freezes. The only way to get it back on is to restart LP. Anyone else have this problem or know what could be causing it? Thanks.

    How do I check if the tracks are sending MIDI to the Oxygen? I'm pretty sure that's what's going on but don't know how to stop it. Thanks much.
    Have you first tried the test I suggested.
    A test... go to the upper left MENU in Logic, select Preferences/Control Surfaces/Bypass All Control Surfaces
    Quit Logic, turn the Oxygen Off ot unplug the USB cable, restart the Mac, let it settle a minute, power on the Oxygen, wait 30 seconds and then start Logic. If the Oxygen seems to be working ok then it's control surface related.
    Using the Inspector on the right hand side you cab see where the track is sending it's output.  MIDI could only be sent to the Oxygen from an Internal MIDI track or an Environment Object with it's output set to the Oxygen IN.
    Sounds like a control surface thing to me.
    Go to that menu selection I described above and select  "Rebuild Defaults"
    Then Test
    If No change select "Bypass All Control Surfaces"

  • Audio Hardware issues with premiere pro cc

    I'm having some trouble enabling my usb mic.  Whenever I try to click the "enable track for recording button" in the audio track mixer I'm met with a message that states that I cannot record without adding a valid input device.  So I do preferences > audio hardware.  Here I'm met with two things 1) the ASIO Hardware section and 2) the Output Mapping section.  No where can I find a Input selection dropdown menu.  I've recently found my mic under the ASIO Hardware dropdown, but the issue is further drawn out.  When I return to the Audio Track Mixer I cannot press the "enable track for recording" button.  I'm not entirely sure what's happening here.  I'm using a Mac. 

    hi Jim,
    well it turns out that Premiere update 7.2.2. put my computer into disarray, and caused my multi-camera monitor to lag (about 6 seconds) behind my program monitor .. so my my multi-cam monitor (with my 2 or 3 camera feeds) would  be playing footage that is 6 seconds or so BEHIND what was playing on the program monitor.
    that's the gist of it..
    anyway the fine folks at Adobe, talked me through the process of going back to premiere 7.2.0 and that fixed the issue.
    i hope future updates resolve this issue so that i can get back up to the minute on my software
    thanks

  • Extracting Audio from Video With QuickTime Pro?

    I read on another discussion board that QuickTime Pro could record/extract audio only from a video file. So I purchased the QuickTime Pro upgrade today (for Windows XP) but can't seem to find out how to do it, assumimg that post was correct and it can be done at all.
    The Nero video editing software I use can get the video file in MPEG-2, MPEG-1, AVI and other formats. I tried MPEG-1, but even the conversion to QuickTime's .mov format came up with no audio at all. I noticed a post here saying that was a limitation of the software. I could purchase the QuickTime MPEG-2 add-on but that seems to only allow playback and doesn't look like it will help any.
    Another post on the other discussion board said that virtualdub.org has a software program that could do this extraction, but silly me I went with Apple and was delighted to read about the no refund policy just now. :-/
    I'm guessing another possible approach is some kind of hardware solution -- a recording device of some sort?

    In order to extract a track (video or audio) the file first must have those as independent tracks.
    MPEG 1 and 2 are "muxed" (video and audio in the same track) so QuickTime Pro has nothing to extract.
    MPEG Streamclip (free) can convert .mpg and .mpeg files to QuickTime formats.
    If you export from Nero as .avi you can also use QuickTime Pro to extract tracks as it will have at least two.
    MPEG 1 and 2 are playback formats and are not intended to be edited.

  • Recording Audio For Timeline With Logic Pro In Real Time

    I do commentaries on videos and was wondering if there is an easier way than what im doing now..
    Right now I export my video from premiere to a bad quality version and import it into logic pro and record the commentary there.
    Then I have to bounce the audio and import it back to premiere.
    Is there a way to get the same plugins that are in logic pro to be used in premieres audio mixer??
    A dream come true would be that I could just record directly into premiere with all of the effects coming from logic pro.
    Anyone know of any kind of solution or trick or anything so I dont have to keep going back and forth and to make this easier???
    Thanks for any info I really appreciate it!!

    I just hate going back and forth from premiere and logic and all the extra time wasted exporting the files so they will work with eachother.  
    I just thought of something else.... Is there a way that I can get the video in premiere to play the same time I push record in logic pro and maybe sync with it?
    Like if I push record in logic the video in premiere will start playing then when I push stop in logic pro it will stop in premiere or at least stay in sync with it so the timing will be right?
    if anyone has any ideas throw some out there I would love to hear them.
    Thanks!

    Hi Andrea,
    In My opinion, I think the RME 9632 is great. Good clock and professional analog to digital converters. I can't say enough good things about it. It's a little more, but not much than your budget, but it's worth it.
    Best wishes,

  • Audio Unit Problem with Logic Pro and Mainstage

    When I go to launch my apps, both Logic Pro and Mainstage get stuck loading an AppleAUspeechsynthesis or something along those lines. It never makes it past there and I either have to force quit or it quits itself. I can press control while launching Logic Pro, but then I only get basic MIDI. I just tried an archive and install and I'm in the process of reinstalling Logic Pro right now. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

    I just tried pasting my crash report. It seems like it is too long to post?

    Universal's documentation says that it is compatible with Logic 7 and Logic 8. You might want to ask in the Logic forums about hands-on experiences. Universal also has their own forums where you'll probably be more likely to get useful information from experienced users:

  • Universal Audio UAD Card & Macbook Pro

    can I use a UAD card with 17“ Macbook Pro?
    I believe I read somewhere that it is only compatible with desktops?

    Nope. Being as this card is one that needs an actual PCI or PCIe slot, and laptops don't have that, you'll find it hard to fit it in there.
    They do make a version for their product which DOES work with laptops, the Expander. this will work nicely with your laptop.
    I believe I read somewhere that it is only compatible with desktops?
    Please check their website, and get the skinny on their Expander product.

    H.264 video should be supported by your basic Snow Leopard operating system. The DVCPRO HD family of codecs is part of the Apple "Pro" codecs package which is normally installed as part of a "Pro" video editing suite installer or contemporaneously installed separately as part of one of the newer pro editing apps like FCPX. if you already have one of these pro suites or apps installed or available, then re-install the correct codec package that is missing. If not, you will need to purchase a Pro suite or app to be able to install the required codec package.

  • Hi, I need the program of access from the office, so i'm going to but the Microsoft office 365 university, will i have to but any other program to use the access from my mac? or to open any database that I will have did from any other computer (not mac)?

    There has never been a Mac version of Access. Microsoft never created one, realising that it was very inferior to the FileMaker Pro database application.
    So if you must run Access you will have to run Windows on your mac.

  • Logic Pro 9 - Recorded audio just silly with crackling, clicking noise

    PLEASE!!! Read my entire post before commenting. I don't mean to sound rude but I've posted this in several other forums and it's obvious they hadn't read/understood my issue based on the comments they left, ie., suggesting everything I've already tried, saying to contact tech support and even asking what comp and DAW I'm using... I've been dealing with this issue for ~8 months
    SPECS
    I use 2 daisy-chained Firepods connected to a Mac Pro Quad-core running 10.6.5 and Logic Pro 9.1.3.
    I get the results described below whether I'm trying to record at 24 or 16 bit and at either 44.1K or 48K.
    Generally I record 12 tracks simultaneously AND I always use the same inputs for each instrument; ie., Vocals = track 11, guitar = track 2, bass = track 1, etc...*
    PROBLEM
    Although this is a sporadic issue it happens to occur WAY more than it doesn't; ie., very rarely do I get a recording session without the anomaly.
    The issue is that after I have recorded a session and listen back to the recorded material there are random crackles, pops, clicks throughout. When I audition tracks individually, some may have no crackling and some will have crackling at different points in time and of varying intensity. Every session is different as well, no two sessions are the same. One day I may have a perfect vocal track and a guitar track that is just silly with the crackling. The next day the guitar track may be fine but now the vocal track is all messed up with crackling. Another confounding point is that the crackling does not occur during periods of silence.
    I will add that each Firepod appears to function properly (with no issue) all by it's lonesome - but that doesn't help me, I need 12 inputs minimum!
    Things I've Tried
    1. All new FW cables
    2. Disconnecting the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac. Turn on the Mac. Turn on both Firepods, master first. Connect the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac. Launch Logic.
    3. Disconnecting the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac. Turn on the Mac. Launch Logic. Turn on both Firepods, master first. Connect the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac.
    4. Tried every conceivable configuration of Audio Midi Setup.
    5. Tried several other FW and USB audio interfaces, obtaining perfect results.
    6. Been working with Apple tech support (both hardware and Logic support).
    7. I've checked that both Firepods have the same firmware version.
    8. Installed a fresh SATA HD with clean installs of both OS10.6.5 and Logic Pro 9.1.3 with fresh custom templates and no 3rd party plugins or loops.
    9. Lots of praying, swearing and fits of anger.
    Final Comments
    First, I think that the chassis FW connectors on the firepods are absolute garbage (read, cheap, cheap, cheap) and are inferior to anything else I have encountered during my troubleshooting process.
    Last, I will go ballistic if I hear one more Presonus rep say anything to the effect of, "Huh! Never heard of anyone else experiencing the symptoms you're describing..." Yes, I have spoken adnauseum with Presonus tech support with zero results.
    Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Pancenter! I'll try to be brief. LOL
    I had 4 perfect multi-track sessions and then the gremlin woke up and and cast his spell... Frustrating... The biggest difference I enjoyed using your suggestion was that when I launched Logic, loaded my template, enabled my tracks and hit record, the session started without a hitch. Prior to your suggestion, I would have to futz around with Logic audio prefs, AMS settings, turning the Firepods off/on, quitting/restarting Logic and/or shutting down/restarting my Mac Pro just to get the session to show my enabled tracks had activity. I would not know if the session would have the noise artifacts until playback. I should add that I never had this problem with my PPC G5 nor did I for the first 10 months of use with this Mac Pro. Also, with the help of Apple tech support we had eliminated Logic, 10.6.5 and the Mac Pro (except the FW800 bus) as probable causes. Again each Firepod and Logic work flawlessly when I use one unit not daisy-chained. So, I think there is no problem with the individual units, and, as I said, both units worked fine chained with my PPC Mac Pro.
    So, I called Presonus. Again... And I get yet another tech who tells me something different; every time I speak with Presonus I get different suggestions. This guy asked what kind of cable I was using to connect the Firepods to the Mac Pro and I said I'm using a *firewire 9-pin to 6-pin cable*. So has asks well, is it *bilingual*? He said that would def fix my problem. I told him it is advertized as bilingual and that had not fixed the problem; he had no answer for that. Then, I broached the option of adding a firewire 400 card to my Mac Pro. He said I guess you could try that; get one with a TI chipset. That's where I'm at now, deciding which one to get and whether I will need to provide auxiliary power to the card's on-board molex plug.
    Any ideas?
    Oh, thanks for responding

  • Trying to connect a Belkin brand audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV. Cannot get any sound from the laptop out of the TV. What am I doing wrong?

    I'm trying to connect a Belkin brand stereo audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV (Apple "genius" handed me the cable to purchase.)  I have tried all the ports in the back of the Sony, and tried the volume on both the cable and TV remotes. I cannot get sound out of the Sony from my MacBook Pro laptop. What am I doing wrong???

    Downloaded your operating manual.  It appears that you need to connect the HDMI to HDMI 1 and the audio to the input socket just to the right of the VGA socket (i.e., between the VGA and the RF input connection).  The picture on page13 seems to be the clearest I could find:
    Although it's not exactly clear I think they are talking about a standard 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo jack for the audio inpu as opposed to the more common RCA jacks used in the row just above that VGA input socket.
    I haven't checked the manual as yet whether you need to set anything special with the controls other than input select.
    Note, if that truly is a 3.5 mm stereo jack cables are very common.  In your case it would just be a cable with a 3.5 mm jack on each end.
    Update:
    You will have to experiment with this but I think you will need to try pusing the input button to select either HDMI1 or PC (or Component?).  The manual is not clear on this (page 31).  Sometimes it just comes down to pushing buttons.

    Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.
