Hi.
1. TURN OFF YOUR SPEAKERS!!!
Ok. Now that you don't hear the feedback...you can start troubleshooting.
2. UNPLUG YOUR MICROPHONE OR GUITAR!!!
There...That's much better.
3.READ THE FRIGGIN' MANUAL THAT CAME WITH YOUR X3 THINGY.
Ok. Once you read it, AND ,much more importantly, understand it, you will most definitely find what is wrong with your setup. The solution will be in the manual... despite what you might think. If you don't find the solution in the manual, you can always make earplugs out of it, provided it is made of soft paper. If the paper is hard, you might need to chew on it, or use some water, to soften it enough to put in your ears.
Here is the mother of all clues:
FEEDBACK... it only occurs when you have a live input(microphone or really loud guitar) in the same acoustic space as the output (speakers), or when you are feeding a computer output directly into a computer input... ie creating a loop that feeds back into itself... get it??? Feeds Back???
Cheers

  • Using Apogee One with Logic Pro X- Setup Help

    Hello
    Using-OSX Mavericks, Logic Pro X
    I have a lot of experience with GBand, but I am new to Logic all together. When I plug in the Apogee One to use for recording guitar, I hear the clean guitar tone coming through the output. The only issue is I cannot tweak the tones at all using Logic's built in amps (or Amplitube). All I have is the basic, clean tone that the One provides upon connecting. I just want to use the One as a guitar interface, and I am sure I am just missing a basic setting that will allow me to change the tone using the program's built in amps. I have also tried changing the knob on the One unit itself (guitar, mic, etc) Any suggestions?

    A suggestion.. Yes, the Logic manual
    1. Make sure you have "Logics Audio Preferences" set up.  (see link)
    http://help.apple.com/logicpro/mac/10/#lgcpbb81aca5
    Next, you want Software Monitoring on.
    And Using the software control panel that came with the Apogee you need to make sure that "direct monitoring" through the interface is disabled.  Direct Monitoring let's you hear what the audio interface is hearing, basically, your straight/clean guitar.
    Software monitoring let's the signal be run through Logic but the Interface has to be chosen as the input. (see link)
    Apogee may have another name for direct monitoring, some call it "low latency monitoring".

    Hi Buterem,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
    How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
    If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

    The Adobe auto updater is pretty decent in CS6.  Just go to the Photoshop Help menu > Updates.

  • Using Mackie Control with Logic Pro 7 and Yamaha O1X

    I currently own a Yamaha O1x which is a mixer/control surface/audio interface that I use with Logic Pro 7. I am planning on selling the O1X and replacing it with the Mackie Control Universal as my DAW controller and using the Apogee Ensemble as my audio interface. I already have purchased the Mackie Control Universal and would like to begin using it instead of the O1X as my DAW controller, but while I am waiting for the Apogee Ensemble to be released I still need the audio interface capabilties of the O1X. The O1X uses Yamaha's MLAN protocol to connect to the G5. MLAN is a firewire interface that can transmit both audio and midi. Does anyone have a suggestion for a work-around solution so that I can use my Mackie Control Universal (which connects via midi cable) and only use the audio capability but not the control surface of the O1X via the firewire connection? I haven't been able to figure my way through this one and see if it is possible. I have already tried having them both hooked up at the same time, and the Mackie Control seemed to work fine but the audio on the O1X didn't seem to be connecting and functioning properly. I appreciate any help as I am anxious to use my Mackie Control.
    Thank you!

    You need to connect only the Audio and not the MIDI between your 01x and Mac. You can achieve this in mLan Graphic Patchbay-connect the cables between the Nodes in Audio part of a Graphic Patchbay, connect the Wordclock but do not make any MIDI connections. this way it should work as you want. the other way is to Make your regular connection from mLan Autoconnector and disable the MIDI ports that are dedicated to control the DAW by 01x by some freeware utility (01x uses port 1 for that...)
    As this is quite 01x specific, please visit 01xray.com/forums where you will find more help, or send me PM.
    As Apogee enssemble is expected to have great features, I would rather recommend the i88x instead of Enssemble (i88x has two Mic preamps-the best Yamaha produces (derived from Dm2000)VERY good converters (mLan is known for low jitter and it was tested with Rosseta by a mate from 01x forum who said (he tested it in store with other people) that i88x sounded better-may believe it or not...).The mLan Graphis Patchbay application allows you to patch connections between mLan devices and computer -very flexible. 01x already does almost the same as Mackie control and it is for almost the same price.... But maybe you are pi_ssed of waiting for new mLan drivers? I am just speculating....

  • Duplicate processing by DBAdapter when using Distributed Polling with Logical Delete Strategy

    We have DBAdapter based polling services in OSB running across two Active-Active clusters (total 20 managed service across 2 clusters),
    listening to the same database table. (Both clusters read from the same source DB). We want to ensure distributed polling without duplication,
    hence in the DBAdapter we have selected Distributed Polling option, meaning we are using "Select For Update Skip Locking".
    But we see that sometimes, same rows are processed by two different nodes and transactions are processed twice.
    How do we ensure that only one managed server processes a particular row using select for update? We do not want to use the markReservedValue option which was preferred in older version of DBAdapter.
    We are using following values in DB Adapter configuration, the Jdev project for DBAdapter and the OSB proxy using DBAdapter are attached.
    LogicalDeletePolling Strategy
    MarkReadValue = Processed
    MarkUnreadValue = Initiate
    MarkReservedValue = <empty as we are using Skip Locking>
    PollingFrequency = 1 second
    maxRaiseSize = 1
    MaxTransactionSize = 10
    DistributionPolling = checked   (adds lock-n-wait in properties file and changes the SQL to SELECT FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED)
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi All,
    Actually I'm also facing the same problem.
    Step I follwed:
    1) Created a job_table in database
    create talbe job_table(id, job_name, job_desc, job_status)
    2)created a bpel process to test the Inbound distributed polling.
    3)Configure the DBAdapter for polling.
    a)update a field in the job_table with logical delete.
    b)select the field name form the drop down
    c) change the read value-->Inprogress and unRead value--->Ready
    d) dont change the value for Reserved value
    e) select the check box for "distributed polling".
    f) the query will be appended with "For update NoWait."
    g)click next and then finish.
    4) Then i followed the below steps.
    To enable pessimistic locking, run through the wizard once to create an inbound polling query. In the Applications Navigator window, expand Application Sources, then TopLink, and click TopLink Mappings. In the Structure window, click the table name. In Diagram View, click the following tabs: TopLink Mappings, Queries, Named Queries, Options; then the Advanced… button, and then Pessimistic Locking and Acquire Locks. You see the message, "Set Refresh Identity Map Results?" If a query uses pessimistic locking, it must refresh the identity map results. Click OK when you see the message, "Would you like us to set Refresh Identity Map Results and Refresh Remote Identity Map Results to true?Ó Run the wizard again to regenerate everything. In the new toplink_mappings.xml file, you see something like this for the query: <lock-mode>1</lock-mode>.
    5) lock-mose is not changed to 1 in toplink_mappingss.xml
    Can we edit the toplink_mappings.xml manually.
    If yes, what allt he values Ineed to change in toplink_mappings.xml file, so that it will not pick the same record for the multiple times in clustered environment.
    Please help me out this is urgent.
    Thanking you in advance.

  • Can't use .mid file with Logic Pro 9

    I've been given a .mid file from someone I know but I'm not having any success trying to access the file in Logic.
    The file should just contain a piano piece he had written.
    When I first downloaded the file it automatically opened with QuickTime Player. I closed this then tried various ways of getting it into Logic. Firstly I went to File > Open, and chose the .mid file. This was the result:
    "Damaged project or not a Logic Pro project!
    "Search for fragments?
    "Damaged projects might create problems and crashes!"
    'Search' or 'Cancel'
    When I click 'Search' I'm told:
    "Read error!
    "This is not a Logic Pro project!
    "No tracks found"
    'Continue'
    So, is the file empty (no tracks found)?
    Or, because it was not created in Logic, it can't be opened in Logic. (I think he is using a PC, not confirmed yet - I also don't know what DAW he's using, yet)
    That's ridiculous though, I thought MIDI was a universal language?
    I also tried dragging the file straight into a Logic project, which tells me:
    "No tracks found"
    Can someone please give me a little hand!? Thank you

    Two ideas, have your friend check and make sure the mid file plays on his/her system.
    and/or
    If the mid file checks out good on his/her system have them compress (ZIP) the file and resend as it could have become corrupted during transfer. It can happen.
    Your description of the file (zero length) sounds like it missed the last few bytes.

  • Using Aardvark Hardware with Logic Pro 7

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone still uses their Aardvark hardware interfaces with Logic. I used to for OS9 but when I switched to OSX I found that Aardvark had disappeared from the game. I went online witht the intentions of downloading their Driver (for the USB3 to be particular) when I had found that they went out of business. I do know that they had one for OSX but I of course never downloaded it because I didn't yet need it. I sure could use that driver! Anyway, how is everyone's hardware holding up with the latest version of Logic?

    I have been looking evvverrywhere for the driver. Every internet search engine turned out nothing useful. You would be my hero if you could possibly email me the driver (the driver that was offered for free from the aardvark website before the company vanished). =)
    This hiccup has hindered my audio recording with Logic! Thanks!

  • Using an MOX8 with Logic Pro X

    I have a Yamaha MOX8. I am using m-audio Uno as a midisport driver to connect the piano to my computer. I want to record tracks in Logic Pro X with the voices from the MOX8, but every time I do it and make a second track and change the voice, both the tracks change their voice. How would I do this where only one voice will change and the other will stay where its

    I'm afraid you have quite a learning curve ahead of you.
    MIDI is not audio, the MIDI tracks you record are not sound, they are little tiny bits of data that tells what key note was presses and how fast (velocity) you played it. The data you're recording will play any sound on any MIDI Instrument. To get the sound of the MOX8 -IN- Logic you would have to record the audio outputs of the MOX8 into Logic as an audio track.
    As with most Workstations you can set up a "Performance" mode that has different instruments on separate MIDI channels, this is for use with the Internal MOX8 sequencer but can also be used by an external sequencer like Logic. For instance, you could have different instruments on MIDI Channels 1 thru 9 and a drum set on channel 10, In Logic you could have ten tracks set to the MIDI channels you want to play on the MOX8... however, the sound would not be in Logic, the sound comes from within the MOX8. To actually get the sound in Logic you have to record it as an audio track. There are other more advanced methods but that's enough to think about. You will need to the Yamaha MOX8 manual and figure out how to set up a performance mode. 

  • Plug-ins not available when opening Garageband song with Logic-Pro 7.0.1

    Can anyone help?
    Whilst on the move recently I found myself composing a piece using Garageband. However when I got back to the studio and attempted to open the song using Logic Pro 7.0.1 I get:
    Core Audio: Plug-in "BassAmpSi" not available! then
    Core Audio: Plug-in "Hybrid Bas" not available!
    As these must be Garageband instruments I don't understand why they're "not available" or what to do to make them available.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks everybody!

    I googled this topic and found a Logic forum - they said you should update your software to 7.1, then the problem vanishes.

  • HT202744 Problem using G-player with Logic Pro X

    I recently changed over from Logic Audio Platinum 5.1 to Logic Pro X. I opened an old file from 5.1 and it opened beautifully in Pro X. I can run G-player through the  Logic Pro X. I have a G-player trombone put onto a new channel/track (left side channel strip). I can play this trombone using my keyboard controller. But - when I pull a previously recorded music track onto the trombone channel, the previously recorded music track is mute - will not play. What adjustment do I need to make to get the notes on this previously recorded track to play the new G-player trombone sound?
    The old version of Logic 5.1 would easily and simply play any track moved onto any instrument voice. Logic Pro X will not. Why, I need to know?
    Thank you,
    Robert

    I figured out how to make it play. Never mind!

  • Has anyone used Fluqe OnStage with Logic Pro X Live?

    My colleague is looking for a way to automate his set list live using Logic.
    We were looking at OnStage.
    If anyone can let me know how it works, and if it's working well, I'd appreciate it.

    I downloaded it today. Doesn't seem to work. It gives you to the option of playing from "Logic Pro" or "Logic Express". When I click "SET" to set the project to fire, all of my logic files are grayed (assuming that means they are not an option)... Waste of 20 bucks.
