USB audio fault using vrm box with Logic pro X

Hello,
Having problems with audio output from both usb ports on my Macbook Pro - I have a VRM box connected to the usb port and sound is coming from the left side of my headphones only.  Any help / advice with this much Appreciated.

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.

  • M-Audio 61ES not playing nicely with Logic Pro X!

    The 61ES has been doing some really wacky things: I opened it up out of the box for the first time last night and right off the bat the middle octave of notes on the controller were very quiet compared to the high and low notes on the board. It was like the velocity wasn't working properly on those keys or something. The sounds worked fine in Logic when I pencilled them in. But I was too tired to mess around with it more, so went to bed and figured I'd deal with it in the morning. So this morning, the middle octave of keys seems fine, but the middle G just won't play at all. And many of the notes aren't tracking, or playing- especially during fast passages.
    I pulled up Pro Tools 10 and the 61ES worked fine. So something is going on between the controller and Logic. Anyone have any ideas?
    I'm running it on a MacBook Pro with 10.8.5. And the latest version of Logic Pro X- 10.0.6. Thanks for any advice!

  • Dangerous Music D-box with Logic Pro X

    Hello; I am a D-box user and Love it! I have used it with PT11 and Studio One with no issues. Now I am trying to setup the routing for Logic Pro X and I'm having a heck of a time getting it to work properly. I get sound when in "analog & sum" mode but not in DAW mode. Yes, I have Print track set up, stems etc.. I have searched all over the internet and can't seem to find any help. I did watch Fab's video on YT with Logic 9 but still having issues. Is there someone here that uses a D-box with Logic Pro X that woudl be willing to give me a hand? I also use a U/A apollo interface. Thank you in advance! It would be so much appreciated.
    my email is
    <Edited by Host>

    I have had problems with this exact setup as well, LogicX - Apollo - DBox. All was working fine until a few weeks ago and then no more DAW S/PDIF. So after checking that the Apollo's S/PDIF was OK and checking cables with a volt meter, etc. I decided to send the DBox back for repair because all things pointed to a dead converter in the DBox.
    It turns out they found nothing wrong with the DBox, no problems at all and it is being sent back to me. I will have it set up soon and will post again here my findings. Watch this space.

  • 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....

  • IMic USB Audio System will not play in Logic Pro X, help?

    Hi guys.. I'm still pretty new to Logic. I'm currently trying to connect a guitar for recording using a 1/4" cable connected to an iMic USB Audio system. When I plug it in Logic recognizes it immediately, however it will not record. When I play it nothing happens.
    Here's what I've checked and tried:
    In system preferences, when I select iMic as an input and play the guitar the signal picks up successfully.
    In Logic Preferences, I have iMic USB Audio System selected for the input, and system setting for the output (to hear as I play).
    I create a new "guitar" track and make sure it also has iMic selected as its input source.
    It works fine in GarageBand, but not in Logic.
    I've searched everywhere looking for an answer and can't seem to find anyone with this problem! Help!?
    I'm using Logic 10.0.5 on Mavericks 10.9.2.
    Thanks!

    Known problem with 10.0.5 I think, upgrade to 10.0.6

  • 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

  • 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 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".

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Unstoppable feedback when using POD X3 with Logic Pro 8 PLEASE HELP!

    Hey everyone, i recently bough and installed logic pro 8 but whenever I use my POD X3 with it there is feedback which no matter what I do I cant stop. does anyone have any ideas or suggestions about how I can fix this please??? thanks alot!

    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???

  • Is Anybody Using Arturia SparkLE with Logic Pro X?

    Hi. Since the Logic Pro X upgrade (10.1.0), I have been unable to successfully play my Arturia SparkLE rhythms on Logic Pro X. There appears to be sound on the output - but I just cannot hear anything. Can anyone lend a hand to a complete novice?

    Hey CFaller,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are using external audio hardware and have no sound. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Logic Pro X: Troubleshooting basics - Apple Support
    6. Test using the computer's built-in audio hardware
    If you use external audio hardware, try setting Logic Pro X to use the built-in audio hardware on your computer. Choose Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio from the main menu and click the Devices tab. Choose the built in audio hardware from the Input Device and Output Device pop-up menus. If the issue is resolved using built-in audio, refer to the manufacturer of your audio interface.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a good one,

  • Using MBOX 2 with Logic Pro 8.

    I have downloaded the core audio files, and I am stuck. I'm not really sure how to open it up in Logic, and control it. If anyone can give some advice, or post a tutorial that would be great. Also, the MBOX2 seems to only power on every other time I plug it in. Its very inconsistent to power up. Any explanations on that? Thanks for all the help.

    When I switched from PC/Pro Tools LE to iMac/Logic, I tried to work with my MBox2 but gave up. It's just not well suited for working with Logic. I bought the Duet for $500 and it works great and sounds much better than the MBox2. Better pres and converters. I'll upgrade to an Ensemble soon, but for $500, if all you need is two channels, the Duet is a great way to go. Also, latency is much better with Duet than with MBox, at least in my experience. I keep my buffer at 256 and can barely discern latency at all while getting all the plug-in power I need. If I need to truly knock out latency, I can still go down one or two more buffer sizes.
