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....

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 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.

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".

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???
Cheers

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!

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.
Charles

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.

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,
Mario

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.

Help with Logic Pro 8 Outputs

Hi
Struggling with something that i imagine is very simple but just cant work it out! Please help me.
I will be using Logic 8 within a live environment and need to basically get various audio tracks 'out' of logic via my interface into a mixing desk. I have 8 sub outs on my interface which is fine for me. (prob lots of people do this also with a mixing desk in the studio environment for intergration with the desk and outboard gear so i 100% sure it can be done!)
Prob 1 is that the track sub outs in logic come in stereo pairs. If i want bass to go to output 1 , and kick for eg to go to output 2, how can i do this???? Is there a way to change the track outputs to mono?
Prob 2 is that if i change the outputs in one session, for example click to output 3 - 4, vocals for example to output 5 and 6, then save the session, close and reopen, they have all reverted to output 1 and 2. In a live situation it is annoying to have to change these before each song starts!
I play in a electro band that incorperates live drums, analog synths, logic audio (backing tracks kinda thing) aswell as live instruments, and finding logic pretty challenging to use for this!! We are flat broke and cant afford new stuff so have been living with it but we are now starting to need more outputs (for the benefits of live mixing , ie not giving the engineer a stereo out) . Surely the mixer in logic is capable of these totally bog standard audio routing options?!?!?
Thanks alot for any help

What gives? I'm running the fastest machine on the fastest system with the fastest/cleanest hardware.
I'm running Logic Pro on all of its highest settings (like it should).

Do you mean the sample buffer is at 32 or 1024.
Even though you have Apple's flagship system it's still possible for Logic to bring it to it's knees. High sample rates plus a couple of space designer reverbs can send a single core into an overload condition.
Try these settings under Preferences/Audio.
I/O Buffer Size - 256
Process buffer - medium
Do NOT have the I/O Safety Buffer selected.
More info.
What sample rate and bit depth are you recording at? ie: 48kHz, 24-bit?
When you open Logic's CPU meters are you seeing a single core spiking?
What effects are being used on the audio and single VI track?

Help with Logic Pro 8, Apogee Symphony System, and Nehalem 8-core Mac Pro

So here's the problem. I went on a shopping spree recently and purchased an 8-core Nehalem 8-core Mac with 14 GB RAM, Apogee's Symphony system (With Rosetta 800 and AD-16X), and I use this gear with Logic Pro 8.

I'm running Logic Pro on all of its highest settings (like it should). Of course I could drop the buffer size and unclick a few things here and there. but why? Is my machine powerful enough to handle it or not?
I've deleted the plist a bunch of times and repaired hardisks and everything. any help from a certified LOGIC pro would be excellent and much appreciated! thanks in advance,
