Using Digi 003 interface with Logic Studio or Pro

I currently have a modified (Black Lion Audio) Digi 003 Rack interface that I use with Pro Tools, but would like to get Logic Studio (or Pro). I have heard 50% say that the Digi 003R or Mixer won't work (properly) with Logic and I have heard another 50% say that it works fine. Can somebody please end this debate once and for all, so I can make the big $500-$1000 decision. I'm really itching to get Logic so I can use all of its great features. I would like to hear that it works fine, but if not, I'd rather know the facts before wasting my money. Thank you to anybody who can put this question to rest.

Lets clear up some things - Logic Studio comes with Logic Pro. . . so that's $500. Logic Pro 7 is old and you don't need it anymore, it WAS $1000. So, no need to spend a grand on Logic.
Next, 003R works absolutely fine as an interface with Logic. The mixer won't work as a control surface (although it will work fine as an interface) because Digi's control surface stuff is proprietary and isn't made to work with Logic.
So, to sum up - Logic Studio is Logic Pro 8 and a ton of other apps and its only $500.
003 Rack works fine with Logic.

  • Can I use digi 003 console with logic pro 10 ???

    I want to work with logic pro 10 and I don't know if it work with my digi 003 console
    Please help me

    Hi again Bill,
    Something very strange has happened this morning. I was using Logic and thought 'I'll just plug in the TASCAM again to see if anything happens' and it just worked straight away. This is most peculiar as I didn't do or press anything to make it work. Yesterday when I was trying to get it to work, I closed the program and restarted the computer several times are making adjustmemnts but it just wasn't working at all. It seems a good night sleep has gievn it time to think things through lol.

  • Using Multiple Audio Interfaces With Logic (Edirol FA-101)

    I just bought tiger so that i could aggregate my two edirol fa-101's and they still dont work. They cut out and the sync buttons flash. Its as if the computer ant deal with so much information. I stop all large processes on my g5 dual 1.8 and try again. They cut out whether im in Logic or not. One works ok but still cuts out sometimes, adding another has made the problem twice as bad. Any advice please. Ive talked to edirol and they have no idea what to do... Thanks, Ben

    According to their web page, the FA-101 does accept SPDIF. They should be wired together with one unit should be set up as a master and the other as a slave. You units should sync up then.
    As they are right now, the two units are competing to sync with Logic, causing the sound to pop and cut out.

  • Using Two Firewire Interfaces with Logic?

    I'm using a Duet which of course has no digital outs.
    I'm thinking of getting a guitar processor that has digital outs, so I was wondering if there was a way to buy yet another interface for use just when I am doing guitar tracks direct so I could go into the Mac all digital, via SPDIF or whatever. I would have to tell Logic to switch to the other interface for guitar tracks I guess.
    If this is possible, is there anything that doesn't cost and arm and leg that would handle this well?
    Thanks
    Tom

    Easiest way to do this is to create an Aggregate Device in AudioMidi Setup. Unfortunately, the Duet is not supported with aggregate devices. Another possibility is to simply switch your driver to something else than the Duet when you want to record your guitar tracks. However, you won't be able to monitor through the Duet if you do that. My personal choice would to simply plug the analog outputs of your guitar processor into your Duet. And if you still want to use your digital outs, there's an optical input on your Mac. However, you'll need a converter from S/PDIF to Toslink, somethin like M-Audio CO2:

  • Audio hardware interface to use with Logic Studio 8 and Pro Tools M-Powered

    I want to get Logic Studio and Pro Tools M-Powered. I do film sound design and music as a hobby. I plan to compose music with Logic and edit film audio with Pro Tools.
    Here is my main concern:
    I want to get ONE firewire audio interface that will work with both programs (Logic Studio and Pro Tools). I need one that has multiple outputs because I will be mixing in surround sound (mostly the film audio). Are there any suggestions? Inputs on what people like, don't like, work well with both? What I should completely avoid? I figured Pro Tools M-Powered (as opposed to LE, HD) would be better for me simply because of price and possibly using the m-audio interface with Logic too.
    Let the advice begin please. I will be happy to answer any questions you have for me that would help you provide better advice for me.
    Thank you in advance

    Yes, Logic Studio is surround sound capable, but unfortunately a lot of places that I would potentially like to be working at, that do audio post, that I've seen, require a knowledge of Pro Tools. I know it's not the best but it's the industry standard and it's what many companies use so I need to learn it (basically). I don't want to limit myself to stereo outs on the audio interface on PT. Maybe I should to keep my budget down though??? I guess now I'm looking at PT LE and the 003 family, this one in particular
    http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?langid=100&navid=126&itemid=5028
    I dunno, by the time it's "technically" compatible with Leopard I might be able to afford it.
    Anyone currently using Pro Tools LE with Leopard right now? For some people it apparently works???

  • What is the best external typing keyboard for use with logic studio?

    I'm currently using Logic 7 and looking to upgrade to Logic STUDIO.
    I want to get a nice typing keyboard with coloured and customised keys (short-cuts) to use in place of the MACBOOK keyboard.
    I have previously bought the stickers from Editors keys, but there key command sets suck.
    Hoping someone can suggest a better company offering a better product with more intuitive key command settings so that it matches well with LOGIC STUDIO - assuming its been simplifed with its work flow, I want a typing keyboard to match.
    Also is it worth gettinga jog wheel to use in place of or in addition to a mouse - I think this is called a shuttle.
    Anyway please send your suggestions through.
    Thanks

    I believe that there are keyboard overlays for Logic available for the Apple Keyboards... although, I don't think there's anything for 8 yet, seeing as the release probably took them by surprise.
    However, I do agree that using a wireless keyboard and mighty mouse are must-haves... at least in my studio. They allow me to work at my piano and control Logic from a distance (I don't like assigning MIDI commands, outside of my control surface). However, I do with that Logic would recognize the presence of a Mighty Mouse and allow assigning the remaining button presses to other features in Logic, like showing the floating toolbox while the right-click handles the contextual menus.

  • Can I use my MBox interface with the latest version of Logic Pro X?

    Can I use my Mbox interface with the latest version of Logic ProX?

    If your Mbox has a Core Audio driver compatible with your version of OSX, then most likely, yes.

  • How do I get the Korg NanoKontrol to work with Logic Studio?

    I just bought a Korg NanoKontrol control surface to use with Logic Studio but it isn't working right. I can get the faders and pan to work in one scene but the transport controls don't work in any scene. If anyone knows anything about how to get it to work please let me know.

    Hey Scrooge, why the attitude? Did anyone here mistreat you? And why hijack the thread?
    Anyway, if you loose settings minutes after they worked, I would say the hardware may be shaky. Or the cabling. Or the operators' skills.
    Ambient8 has gracefully and concisely pointed the way, and if something is not working just describe what and how it is, instead of complaining (on somebody else's thread) to people who voluntarily try to offer help & solutions.
    Ambient8:
    +"Pay special attention to "Assigning Key Commands to Control Surfaces" on page >164+
    +The rest need to be set up as a control surface by using the Learn (Command+L) function to assign faders to tracks and knobs to pans, etc.+
    +See the Logic Pro 8 Control Surfaces Support guide in the Help menu for info on controller assignments. Chapter 2 "Customizing Controller Assignments" has the info assigning controllers to Logic Pro parameters."+
    If you say I did exactly as described on these pages, and all your settings seemed to disappear, I can only assume that either something is wrong with your Logic prefs, the logic.cs file or the CS itself.

  • Not too hot about the jazz the Apple drum loops, does anyone know of a good drum software to interface with logic? Or, a loops source to get quality brush samples.

    Logic has no decent jazz brushes in there drum loops!! What to do???

    Hi j232..for interfacing drum i would suggest Superior drummer 2.0. It has all the loops u want plus it keeps getting the expansion packs (i mean u have to buy it )which are genre based so as of now it has everything from vintage kits to new age. Also it says on the site(toontrack.com) that its tested with logic.
    I used it in mixcraft on my PC. and it was very easy, real and satisfying for me. Ordered it now for my new mac to interface with logic pro.
    hope that helps
    cheers

  • Using other software libraries with Logic

    Hi, I'm a new Logic user, so this may be a basic question.
    I use a lot of orchestral sounds in my writing, and the ones bundled with Logic Studio fall pretty short of what I'm used to. I'm thinking about purchasing e-Mu's Modern Symphonic Orchestra, but I don't know if I will be able to use those sounds with Logic. Is there an easy way to add on external software libraries for use within Logic?
    Thanks in advance!

    Libraries will most probably work, depending in what format they come. If they're .EXS format, you won't need anything extra. If they come with their own player (many of 'm do) you'ld have to check that that is an Audio Unit (AU). VST won't work, it has to be AU. So check out the format and/or the Software Instrument player.
    regards, Erik.
    *PS Oops, I see I stand corrected - disregard what I said (for these Libs, that is).*
    +I almost always check these things first... this is exactly why... ;)+
    Tip: check out this site, they have a very neat search engine for Audio Plugins & Libs, and they are pretty complete: http://www.kvraudio.com/get.php

  • Logic Studio, MacBook pro, M-Audio ProFire 610, M-Audio Axiom 61

    I'm just about to get the above: Logic Studio, MacBook Pro, M-Audio ProFire 610 and the M-Audio Aziom 61, and want to know if any of the above (Logic Studio and MacBook Pro excluded) are a big mistake. I've been using an Aluminium Powerbook 17" 1.33MHz, and M-Audio MobilePre USB, and an Edirol controller, with guitar rig (and Controller), and Logic Express 7.
    I need a set-up that will work as well in the studio, as it does on stage. We tend to plug everything in to the powerbook at the moment, and use Reason to power the synths, guitar rig for the guitars and bass, and logic express plugins for vocals etc.
    Anyone have any experience with any of the above?
    Cheers,
    Adam

    Hi Zuelito,
    Please read my first paragraph again:
    "I gotta RESPECTFULLY take issue with every point you bring up about M-Audio stuff, Zuelito..."
    I'm not sure how you can be "slightly put off by the tenor" of my post given everything I said, with the one possible exception being my line about MOTU making crappy hardware - and that was based on personal experience. And while we're talking about the opinions of others, feel free to peruse the Unicornation board - it's full of MOTU users talking about firewire port failures and other hardware issues - so it appears neither of us is alone in our experiences
    Seriously, if I was in some way brash or offensive in the way my post came off, I publicly and sincerely apologize. I really try to think about what I say (and how I say it) when posting on the 'net, for this very reason. I thought I simply stated my experience in an informative manner; again, please re-read my post - I hope it comes across as intended.
    For what it's worth, I will say (even more clearly) that I've always loved MOTU products in terms of feature set; maybe that's why I've owned almost every product they've ever made! However, in my environment, I simply can't risk hardware failures, and their stuff has let me down too many times to keep rolling the dice. I will also divulge that one of their top tech support guys has acknowledged the firewire port problem. That's a shame, because they do make great stuff, conceptually. I really wish I could take a chance on that new 896mk3, but it ain't gonna happen for me; 6 dead firewire ports is enough of a failure rate for me to give up on them. To be fair, this probably isn't an issue for fixed installations, but I have to make these connections daily while on tour.
    Also, I did NOT categorically state that "M-Audio stuff is better than MOTU." Again, if you re-read my post, it should be obvious that all I'm saying is I have a newfound respect for M-Audio, as of the new ProFire series. I also said in my first paragraph that I shared your opinion of M-Audio for a long time!
    If this were all about M-Audio's 410 vs. MOTU's Ultralite (or other competition), we probably wouldn't even be having this discussion as I would have agreed with you - but the original poster specifically asked about the newer 610 with Logic, which is what I'm using on one of my rigs. I simply offered my personal experience.
    As for drivers, I've not had any problems with M-Audio or their level of support. Just the opposite - they really seem to be on the ball and are way more communicative than other mfrs. I don't know of any other mfr. that supports each OS subrelease in detail like they do, and their development speed seems as fast (if not faster) than anyone else.
    Finally, until now I've only owned a few M-Audio pieces (410, 1814), but I can state that they've been flawless. Their audio quality was not 'high end' by any stretch, but I only used them for utility purposes (writing rigs on the road, etc.). Like I said, my main studio stuff has been RME or Apogee for years, and that's the quality level I'm used to - which is why the 610 really surprised me. I also have several friends who do a LOT of touring, many of which rely on M-Audio hardware (mostly 410s). One guy's unit doesn't even have any paint left on it from road abuse - but it still works like a champ after 4 years.
    So anyway, this is all just my experience. Hope it doesn't come across as anything but that
    Peace,
    Jim

    Hi there
    i'm trying to figure out a problem that i really can't find a solution,i'm using Logic studio 8 whith Digi 002rack and 7.4 core audio version,my question is how to select in logic the optical IN of the 002r that in my case is connected to my triton rack synth?
    i can use the spdif in of the 002 but i can't find a way to use the optical in.
    thanks all

    I dont know if you will be able to connect other device like PS3 or Wii.
    As far as I know only the Xbox 360 could be connected to a Qosmio and could be used with the Windows MCE.
    I presume this is possible due to connection of Microsoft products; MCE and Xbox360
    To be honest; why you dont take a look into the user manual if this notebook is new to you?
    All details are mentioned in the user manual which is already preinstalled on the notebook.

Maybe you are looking for
