Use Logic with an Arranger

Can I use Logic with a Roland G 1000 Arranger as a master, to be able to Start and Stop Logic from my keyboard? If yes, How?

It could be that you've not got the appropriate snap settings, so that when you copy a region its snapping to the wrong place (like, the nearest beat or the nearest bar or whatever) - I dunno, its a bit difficult to imagine what you're trying to do exactly.
There are menu items in Logic for copying/moving sections and ways of creating gaps to insert something else and that kind of thing - I don't use them myself, but it might be the way to go for you, if you can get Voice Over to recognise the menu commands but, unfortunately, I really don't know anything about that.

Using Logic with virtual guitarist

I'm trying to use logic with virtual guitarist. Do you use this as an instrument or midi? When I use it as an instrument virtual guitarist does not follow logic tempo. And when I use it as a midi track I can not play it since virtual guitarist is not a hardware. Any sugestions?

VG is a virtual instrument. If you want to use it within Logic, you need to convert the .vst into an AU (Audio Unit) so Logic can see and use it as .vst isn't supported anymore in OS X.
The .vst to AU conversion is best done via the VST-AU Wrapper application, available from the http://www.fxpansion.com website or your local dealer. No, I don't work for them, but I use the wrapper extensively for older .vst instruments in Logic.
If you need more detail information about this (and Virtual Guitarist in particular), you may want to check the VG forum here : http://bornemark.se/forum/viewforum.php?f=4&sid=a4bd0b1112e9d381261c09d8160fc1f7

Question about using Logic with guitar on stage. HELP!

Hello,
I'm a guitarist.
I would need some advises about using Logic in a live situation..
How do you move from one track to the other using the keyboard?
Could that action be controlled by some kind of footswitch?
Also, the REC button has to be always ON to hear the sound or is there another way to set that up?
I would like to create let's say 6 tracks with plugins for having 6 different guitar sounds.
Is it very heavy for the CPU?
I'm using a macbook with 2GB of ram and a firewire FA-66 edirol sound card.
Would you also recommend to use a preamp?
Many many thanks for your help!

Why to jump from one track to another?
Simply create a folder with all the Channel strip settings and assign two key commands of your choice to navigate forward and backward.
And yes, you can assign that command to a MIDI controller (or pedal) too.
About monitoring have a look at the reference manual page 211.
Before to buy a preamp try using the Hi-Z input from your Edirol.
Anyway, six tracks with six plugins on each track are not an issue for your macbook.

Stability of included Logic plugins when using Logic with BFD 2

Hi,
I have a new mac pro purchased a couple of months ago. I bought logic studio, and then BFD 2 (a drum addon). Now that I've got a good pair of speakers connected up to my mac (through the phones socket as changing logic to use the line out crashed it) I started to use the effects plugins to process the drum sounds, just using the plugins installed when you install logic studio. Now, i found it was crashing rather easily, so i installed the two logic updates i found on the apple updates site, named LogicPro8.0.2Update.dmg and ProApplicationsUpdate2008-01.dmg.
Unfortunately, the mac isn't connected to the 'net so i can't automatically check for updates. BFD 2 is also up-to-date.
However, Logic is still extremely prone to crashing when I try and change anything in a plugin. The plugins I've tried using so far are the multipressor and the compressor but it's the same thing: change some settings in the plugin, click on the play button in the transport controls and the mac bombs (can't do anything)
Am i just not being patient enough? I do wait a few minutes before powering off but for the last couple of minutes there's no sign of activity (e.g. hard disk spinning) from the mac
I thought macs were so much more expensive than PCs because they work better. Well if this is "better" I'm never going to waste the extra money buying a Mac again. I'm new to music-making so it's not like I'll be wasting a detailed knowledge of Logic

Sorry to hear about your frustrations. I'm using BFD2 on a macpro 8 core. And it's running extremely well. My computer will still occassionally lock up, but it is the best it has ever been. Their should be NO issue with using Logic's plugins with BFD2. They have been tested thoroughly. I don't think your 'patience' is the issue. Something sounds wrong.
Try to eliminate issues, to figure out what is going on. Don't run any other applications while running Logic. You might try temporarily removing all 3rd party components from Audio Unit plugin folder except BFD2.
Run disk permissions repair, and repair disk. I gather running 'airport' might cause issues, but I never used that myself. If you DONT use BFD2, can you still get Logic to crash moving knobs in the plug in?. Also Logic SHOULD NOT crash by using line out. That's an indication that something else is wrong
Also try logging on as another user. Create one if necessary. See if Logic/BFD runs better that way..
The last, most desperate measure is WIPE your hard drive, and re-install OSX, and your applications. I have had to do that a couple of times, and it will make a huge difference.
If you run a program a program like techtool pro, and ascertain, there is nothing wrong with the hardware of your machine. (and there probably isn't). It implies there is some kind of conflict with software, or corruption of data on your drives. And that does happen. I have a huge EXS sample library, and it is not uncommon, for it to occassionally find an 'end of line error', or not able to find a sound sample at all. These issues 'creep in' just like one day, you get in your car and find the windshield wipers don't work, or the radio crackles etc.
Hope this helps. Did you try checking BFD's sight for help?. I have emailed them with Logic issues, and they have been helpful for me in the past...

Using Logic with bootcamp

I'm wondering if i can run logic while running bootcamp. Basically what i'm trying to do is run FL studio as a vst inside Logic 8 (using rewire i think). FL studio is pc only and logic is mac only, so you can see my problem. Is this possible using bootcamp/parallels etc?

You're going to run into two major problems trying to do this.
1) FL Studio and Logic don't "speak the same language" and really, unless you are using FL as some sort of software mixer, you won't be able to bus audio through FL and into Logic.
2) ReWire is (to my knowledge) a Propellerhead software tool for getting the sounds in Reason into another host DAW like Logic or FL Studio.
This begs the question, why use FL Studio at all? I know the sequencer is really easy-to-use and visual and all.... but FL Studio can barely keep up with Garage Band these days, much less Logic.
You'll probably find yourself with less headaches trying to export all your old FL projects over to Logic, track-by-track or starting from scratch with your sounds in Logic. Either way, you're going to save a lot of time that you would just waste trying to accomplish something that can't really happen....

Using logic with 003+ and secondary interface

Hello, I currently have a 003 rack + (8 inputs) and a m audio pro fire (8 inputs), and I am trying to get them to work inside logic. I currently have them linked together via optical cable. I know I cannot aggregate using a 003 rack which would fix my issue, but I can only get 8 of the 16 inputs to work.
As of writing this I have not tried the output, I have not gotten that far. Is there a way to make logic understand that there is 16 inputs instead of 8? I have the core audio manager telling me that the 003 rack has 18 ( 16 in 2 out) available and that it's in the ADAT format, but anytime I try to use any input greater than 8 I get no sound.
Does anyone know how to get this to work so I can enable a total of 16 tracks to record?
I'd very much like to switch from pro tools to logic for my projects to be more versatile.
Thanks so much in advance for any answers.

I know exactly what you mean. Unfortunately, I can't offer a solution, just want to express that I have the same requests. A simple, convenient way would be if the quick search bar would follow the same logic as in Google:
     Multiple separate keywords -> AND by default
     Multiple keywords with OR in between -> OR logic
     Multiple words in " " -> The keyword must contain of exactly those words in the same order (which is the default and only option now; unfortunately, it's the one that is required the least)
Yes, there is an advanced search option that does the trick, but as you said, it's very cumbersome to create queries there.
Something in the same direction: Bridge is powered by a MySQL database. So, why is there no way to do a search using an SQL-Query? For those people that work with SQL (and those are quite many, I suppose), this would be a dream!
I know, there is a suggestion forum as well, but posts there are never replied to.
So please, if any developper sees this, consider it for a future release.
One more thing: In the keywords panel, you can use a hierarchy, which is great to make your huge list of keywords more organized. However, in the filter panel, they are all flat and not organized by topic. Would it not be possible to apply the same hierarchy there? After all, the hierarchy IS saved in the metadata: in the XMP part of metadate, there is a field called "HierarchicalSubject" that contains this data. So why not use it??
Best regards
- spitfire
P.S. What is the best place to make suggestions to the developpers? Since the topics in the suggestion forum never get any replies, I don't think it's the right place ...

Use method 2 to help you set up Reason and Logic.
Also you might want to upgrade from Reason 3.0 to 3.0.4.
good luck.

Is anybody using macbook with logic pro ? impressions ??

Logic with a Saphire focusrite or Liquid Mix?

Anyone using logic with the focusrite Liquid Mix or saffire?
If so can you guys post some a and b mp3 demos
cheers

ThorTheGodOfBlunder wrote:
Yes I have experience with both. Use Saffire Pro 10 with my MBP and never had any problems with it very happy with it. Sold the Liquid Mix. If you want to use an external harddrive and a firewire interface you'll run out of firewire busses even with expresscard adapter and the saffire really doesnt like to be daisychained. And when I had the Liquid Mix, never really used is as a control surface didnt really find it better over using a mouse. And even though its takes processing load of the cpu it still caused other problems and made the system less stable. This was on Logic 8 and the drivers they had for it about 2 years ago though so dont know if its better now.
But did you like the sound of the liquid mix's DSP plug ins or not?, i am not interesting in using it as a surface board, i doubt that is what people buy it for, the built on DSP is what i am curious about,
As for the Saffire products i know the older models like the Pro 10 and Pro 26 i/os do not have any on board DSP processing like the liquid mix but Focusrite claims that the quality is alike their Green Channels, hows do or did they sound to you guys?

Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens

I have download and install Logic Pro 9.1.6 on my MacBookPro 13". I record on location with my MacBook an wil edit and arrange the music on my iMac at home. Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens. I'm the owner of both computers. If it can where can I find the program on my MacBook? and how to install and register?

Hi, is the iMac also 10.6.8? I had an iMac die when 10.6.8 was installed, it worked at first but after some You Tube flash videos the screen just locked and no mouse clicking anywhere did anything. It turned out that most older iMacs [ mine was from august 2007] have a graghics chipset that can't handle Snow Leopard, there were [are?] 77 pages on this "locked screen"topic in the Snow Leopard forum. I checked out a web site that tells you how much your mac is worth by filling in the sereal number-mine was worth only $168, I may give it to a friend for his children to play with, although that seems unholy. I doubt anyone woud buy it,the problem is now so well known that even Apple certified resellars here in the Netherlands refuse to repair them,they claim Apple will revoke their certification if they replace the faulty Graphics unit,it is also VERY hard to get to that unit in an iMac, everything is so tightly packed inside.
If your iMac is running Mountain Lion[10.8.0] you may have to change the app store preference to accept apps from all sites,normally ML will only allow app store apps to be downloaded.

Using Logic Pro with Reason 3.0

I am trying to use logic Pro with reason 3.0. I want to be able to sync them together to use redrum within reason as my drum machine. I am using a MOTU 828 mk II audio interface with 8 in's and 8 out's.
When I start logic first and the reason I am not hearing any sound from reason. I can see the meters move in the mixer of reason but I hear nothing.
From the standard documentation that comes with Logic all I can figure out is that rewire is there to sync any other rewire program so that can run side by side of one sequences transport controls.
I want to be able to hear audio from both my arrangement in Logic and in Reason at the same time in the same song in sync.
Can someone please tell me firstly if this is possible and if so how can I implement this kind of setup.
Thanks in Advance.

Common problem. LP doesn't rewire 'out of the box'.
There are two ways to do this (well, more, but I'll tell you 2)
1 (Easy Way):
Restart Mac (Just to be sure things are sorted, not everytime)
Launch Logic
Launch Reason
Arrange Window
Choose a Channel> Pan Left
Go to the Middle section of the Parameters on the Left
With the Channel pop up menu, select Rewire> RWMix L
Repeat for the Right and away you go.
2 (More Advanced)
Environment Window
In the Middle section of the parameters on the Left select Create
Name it Rewire
Under that windows "New" pull down (Top Left), pull down to Audio Object
In the "Channel" pop up (Left, bottom section) select>Rewire (Left, right, 3,4... What ever you want.
Double Click the Audio Object to expand it
Pan Left or right, or whatever you need.
Rename if you wish
Do the same for the other stereo sideNow's the fun part. Assign these stereo pairs to a bus (above the fader, the default is "Out 1-2")
Go to the Mixer window
Double click the Bus you assigned, this puts it in the arrange window
Arrange window
Name the Bus "Rewire" or "ReDrum" or something great like that.
Now you can use it like a stereo pair (which I wish Logic had) for automation and effects and such.

Using Reason with Pro Logic

Is it possible to hook up Reason and Logic together ? Is it possible to mix audio out of reason using Logic ?

Here's a paste from an old post of mine:

Using Logic Pro 9 with Mavericks

Hi all
I recently upgraded to Mavericks and when I came to using Logic Pro 8 I found a problem with the tape bar indicator on the arrange window adding black blocks as it moves across the screen. I understand that this is a well known issue. My question is: Will upgrading to Logic 9 solve this? I do not want to upgrade to Logic X so just need to be sure that Logic 9 will solve the problem. many thanks

While upgrading to Logic Pro 9.1.8 will work with Mavericks, how do you intend to purchase Logic Pro 9 as it is no longer sold by Apple.

Using Logic 7.2 on a Mac Pro with Protools 7.2.1 and Mac OS 10.4.7

I am researching purchasing a New Protools/Logic System
Seems the version of Protools to use with the new Mac Pros is 7.2.1, which only recently came out to work with the new "Mac Pros" Digidesign has stated thhat it works with and Mac OS 10.4.7
The latest version of Logic is 7.2 which has been out for a while....hmmm
Is anybody using Logic 7.2 on a New Mac Pro with Protools 7.2.1 and Mac OS 10.4.7, and does it work?

Logic Pro 7.2.2 is not compatible with DAE/TDM on a Mac Pro INTEL.
You will see only "CoreAudio" as available choice, when trying to engage your audio hardware.
We have to wait for any announcements in this regard, maybe at AES or DigiDays in San Francisco.
Best,
