Using iRig with Logic X

Hi there, I've been trying to use my iRig to record with Logic X, but I can't get the audio input selector to show anything accept "built in input" when I have it plugged in.
Does anyone have any experience getting these two products to function together?
My computer is a brand new macbook pro, I'm told this should be doable.

Hi. I had the exact same problem. Spent a couple of hours last night playing around with various settings but all to no avail - nothing I did would show the iRig as an input device. Then tonight I was looking at the din end of the connection cable & noticed that 1 of the pins was bent. Got a knife & bent it back into position, plugged it in & voila - there was iRig showing as an input device. Hope this helps

Using Spaces With Logic 9?

Dear Apple,
I'd like to know if it's possible to use spaces together with Logic. I tried to grab my mixer and drag it to another space but that didn't work.
If it's not possible at all I would recommend this as a new feature in a Snow Leopard update.
Kind Regards,
Patrick

You can use Spaces with Logic,either drag the Mixer tab out or open a Mixer window in Logic Pro>Window>Mixer or press ⌘ +2 ,activate spaces and drag the Mixer window where you like.

Has anyone purchased this and is using it with Logic?

http://www.amazon.com/Samson-Track-Microphone-Audio-Interface/dp/B0015MJE22/ref= pdbbs5?ie=UTF8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1220851213&sr=8-5

Hi Freis,
I haven't used it, but according to it's pdf manual http://www.samsontech.com/products/relatedDocs/GM1UOM_5Lv1.pdf it is OS X compatible, so should work fine with Logic.
But...
Its' convertors are only 16b/48kHz. I would recommend 24b, especially with a condensor mic, since you get a much bigger dynamic range, much more subtlety in the recording, which is the whole point of these microphones to begin with. A good alternative for instance could be the +MXL 990+ with the +Emu Tracker Pre+ USB 24b/192kHz interface. But there is much choice, you need an interface with at least one XLR input with (48V) phantom power and 24 bits. It may cost you $30-50 more for the combi with mic, but that's absolutely worth it.
regards, Erik.

ImpOSCar - Anybody using this with Logic pro 8

I'm thinking of buying impOSCar to use with Logic. Is anybody here using this software synth? Any problems with multiple instances of the plugin? bugs / crashes etc? Demo seems to work just fine but just wanted to check before handing over the cash.

One of my favourite softsynths.
Be sure to also pick up my (and other) extra patches from GForceSoftware.com...
Works great in Logic.
And as a bonus, it's one of the synths that's had it's internal parameter specifically mapped for the Logic Control, so all the parameters are arranged in groups of 8, with all the related parameters together (so one group of 8 is OSC parameters, another is filter params, another is envelope params etc). This makes it one of the few synths that can quite comfortably be tweaked via a Mackie Control or anything using the same MCU protocol, and is a really nice attention to detail thing from the GForce chaps.
Highly recommended.

Using iControl with Logic Pro 8 - can you assign "undo" and "click on/off"?

Hi Guys
I know the M-Audio iControl works fine with Logic Pro 8 - the Logic 8 control surfaces manual has heaps of info on page 107 onwards about how to use the iControl.
Which is cool, because for simple remote tasks the iControl is brilliant. BUT I notice there are no "undo" or "click on/off" buttons on the iControl. Apparently (according to the control surfaces guide) you can assign different functions yourself.
Does anyone know if it's possible to assign these two features to say the "Option+Record" button and "Option+Cycle" buttons?
If anyone has any experience using the iControl with Logic, and personalising the controls, please let me know!
I have seen a cheap iControl and it might be a great solution rather than forking out for a Presonus Faderport or something more expensive...
Thanks heaps!
Mike

I've tried this (Mainstage) on both my home and mobile setups and there is one anomaly....
If I try to open a saved concert from the 'open recent concerts' menu item, nothing happens - However if I open a saved concert from the normal 'open' menu item, it all works as it should. Apart from that everything else 'just works'.
Obviously there is a variance between my findings and worshipvertical's, which is why I urge everyone to test for themselves to see what works and what does not.
If it works, great! You've saved a pot of money - If it does not work, I'm not sure I'd retain that much in the way of loyalty to the Logic platform, especially in view of the shorter and shorter enforced obsolescence periods that are now being forced upon us. Who knows where Apple is going next?
My opinions and findings, nothing more - or less

Is anybody using macbook with logic pro ? impressions ??

anybody ?
or do you think its a good idea to run logic on it ?
thanks

cool
i tried using logic with pb 12"
but couldnt have any plug ins active when recording vocals or it records crackly.
th escreen sizeis no problem, coz i set up screen sets , so f1 for 12 vocal tracks, f2 for next 12, f3 for mixer part 1, etc
click of a button to see what you want big enough, i never really need to see all the tracks in one go
i would have thought the ibook would have more problems than the pb !
but maybe your studentis just using it for midi....
which takes no power lol....
anyone actually using a macbook with logic ?

How to use compressor with logic 7?

I'm trying to record an audio track using the compressor provided by logic. I know that I can insert a compressor to the audio track, but is my understanding that the audio is not compressed when recorded. Is this true? or is there a work around? Thanks

listen man
if you can afford an analog compressor then go for that
source---> tube pre-amp ---> ANALOG COMPRESSOR ----> mixer (for hardware monitoring if you want) ---> Interface
if you do get a compressor try something with a gate and a limiter built into it as well
1: limiter is good for setting a level where nothing will over pass that level
2: gate is a good idea incase you wanna get a good decent sound out of your Tube pre-amp without worrying about the low dirty sounds
you can use the gate to cut signals below some level, lets say you
Threshold : -50 dbu
Ratio : 2:1
Attack : 1 ms
Release : 1 sec ( depending on what you want)
Output : -3 db
this just a example of what i set for most of my clients, what is, is that i get them in about 30 mins before session and we do sound check plus mic positioning and settings for the PREAMP, COMPRESSOR AND LEVELS IN
doing all this means the singers / rappers will feel comfortable singing like they are on stage or in their bathroom
don't let an artist change for you if the artist is good and they happy with their style, position, volume and groove ( because the song will lack of taste and feel at the end)
tip: recording onto computer/ digital should not clip, you can make the tube as hot as you want but make sure you are about -3 db below clip
because sometimes good takes only comes once and distorting it and making the clients record about 80x will make the clients lose the feel
after recording good takes you can go on and compressor to your needs or gain to your needs
good tip : always make sure you get a good sound before recording or before hitting the disk, less time cutting and pasting more time creating other good things
and don't over compress with the analog compressor, always leave space for extra stuff just incase

I get no sound from my guitar when using iRig with my iPod 5th gen (iOS 7)

I've just bought my iRig and it doesn't work with my iPod 5. I get no sound out of my guitar.
Headphones are working and when iRig is connected I can hear the samples and every other sound coming out of the iPod, but I get nothing from my guitar.
I tried shutting the iPod down, turning Mono on/off, but it still doesn't work with any of my apps (Amplitube, Garage Band and AmpKit).
Then I tried it with my brother's iPod 4 and it worked perfectly, which makes me think that there's something wrong with my iPod settings (I got the iOS 7)....
Does anyone know something I could try?
Thanks!

Contact the developer/go to their support site . Maybe it is not compatible with the 5G iPod. Also, it may not be compatible with iOS 7. Did it work on the 5G before iOS 7?

Best drum loops for use with Logic? Ease of use, usability, etc.

Hi,
I have BFD2 but find it slow to load and sometimes clumsy auditioning loops within Logic. I love the Apple Loops library but I wondered if people are importing MIDI drum files for use with Logic. Do all drum files use the same MIDI mapping? If I drop a BFD2 loop into a Logic drum virtual instrument will it work? I bought a few packs from Groove Monkee but have yet to use them with Logic. I only use them within BFD2.
I'm basically looking for a seamless way to stay within Logic to improve my workflow. It's taken me days sometimes to get a drum track right by going back and forth with BFD2. Is there a concept I'm missing that would make it easier?
Thanks

Make it easier to use Blue Snowball mic with Logic

This post is intended for Apple to see. Perhaps this problem is fixed in Logic Pro/Express 7.2.
The Blue Snowball was designed for GarageBand and works great with it, right out of the box.
But trying to use it with Logic is like pulling teeth or debugging a Java program. 1. You have to create an Aggregate Device in Apple MIDI setup.
2. Once you do that, you still record blank audio tracks unless you read the forum posts really carefully and find out that you can use I/O slot Input 3 or Input 4 on the audio track you want to record with the Snowball. Once you do that you're OK.
My beef is that since Apple would love people to upgrade from GarageBand to Logic, and a few people will, and the Blue works great, right out of the box, with GB, your developers should figure out whether it's a relatively easy fix to make Logic Pro - and especially Express, the "logical" upgrade for most GB users - use the Blue Snowball right out of the box the minute they install Logic Express, Pro, or Logic Express Trial.
Dual G5 and PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.4) 4GB RAM on Dual G5

I understand what you're saying about the "sound software principles", but you are probably an expert sound technician, and I'm not - yet. I have lots of learning to do. I come in as a musical person, a composer. I've also been a software developer at a "low" (i e industrial DP with Java, not C++ or Objective-C).
I'm speaking from the point of view of a customer at the Apple store. Say he's a newbie, like me. He (or she) gets GarageBand and then, noticing that it's featured item at the Apple store, gets a Blue Snowball.
A little later this person falls in love with digital music-making and downloads Logic Express Trial. Suddenly s/he finds that the Snowball records blank tracks. S/he complains, perhaps bitterly, to Apple or to her/his friendss about how this great microphone doesn't work with Logic. S/he is not used to reading forum posts, looking for FAQs, in short, doing all I had to do to find out how to make the Blue work.
It's not software, it's marketing, and usability. If there are good reasons not to change Logic, then at least Apple - and/or Blue - should have an FAQ or an insert in the documentation telling you what to do to make your Snowball record if you upgrade from GB to Logic. It's simply not customer-friendly! And some people who get Logic Express will never understand or care about the software design and technology. Neither Apple nor Blue wants annoyed customers. I happen not to be an annoyed customer only because I hunted through the forums and figured out what to do.. and it was -anything- but intuitive!

Using a Tablet with Logic 8

I was just given a Bamboo Pen and Touch and tried using it with Logic 8. Unfortunately they just don't seem to be communicating correctly and I've found that I can only move the cursor with the pen poorly and I cannot click on anything. Using fingers on the touch pad is similarly buggy. Any chance Anyone has experience with this and nows of an update or driver for this problem? Thanks

Sure ,and I'd love to have one(which i probably do when it comes out LOL) but definitely is not gonna cost the same as the Bamboo or replace my mouse that's not currently working

Good point. I saw the price for Bamboo pen and touch. Very cheap. You got me thinking now.
Found a good price at Amazon...I'm thinking that probably it won't let me do what my imagination believes I could...Draw the automation with the pen for example...LOL but maybe it could be possible.... why I can draw in Photoshop or Adobe products and not in Logic hehe
I saw this on YouTube which got me thinking of finding a cheap touchscreen instead

Just watched it ,it's great..but most of the good quality touch-screen monitors available are very expensive considering that the Tablet will be soon for sale and ....I can imagine the app developers will make amazing apps especially for that .If you find a good deal though give us a shout

How to use oxygen 8 with logic -- control knobs

Hey
I have an oxygen 8, and if I use it with Logic, the keyboard and pitch bend work, but not the knobs. It was the same with GarageBand, but I don't think with Garage Band it is even possible to get the knobs to work.
It's gotta be possible with Logic, though -- anyone know how?
Thanks
Bob

Hi...good news - it's easy!
if you wanna control the global pan. open the mixer, click on the pan of the output 1-2 channel strip then open the controller assignments (command - L). Learn mode should be selected now move the knob on your oxygen 8 that you wish to control global pan with. click on the "learn mode" button to deselect it and moving the newly assigned knob on your oxygen 8 will control global pan.
This works the same for all plug-ins and instruments too - so you can control the cuttoff and resonance on the exs24 for example or any control on any plug-in.
you need to make sure you activate the control on the plug-in first and then on the oxygen 8.
Also, you can find the controller assignments window here:
Logic Pro>Preferences>Control surfaces>Learn assignments for.... or Controller assignments...
Hope that helps

Anyone using the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 with Logic?

I am looking to replace my Tascam US-122 with something of similar size/inputs. I've watched some videos and seen some reviews about the Scarlett 2i2, but I was wondering if anyone has any personal experience using it with Logic. I am wanting to make sure it will run with the 64-bit version of Logic that I am running on Lion. Currently to get my US-122 to work, i have to boot the computer in 32-bit mode or else my computer does not read the interface. I have also heard good things about the inputs in the Scarlett 2i2, and about Focusrite preamps in general, but I have never used them before. At this point, anything will be an upgrade from the Tascam unit that is starting to go faulty on me. This Focusrite unit seems like it could be exactly what I am looking for, I am just looking to see what others have to say about using it with their setups.

Hi Miss Clandestine,
The Scarlett 2i2 will work just fine with the 64-bit version of Logic in Mac OS X Lion.
Here's a little example of what the preamps sound like: http://youtu.be/5sSBwkzdAU4 (yes, it was actually recorded through a 2i2 )
Let me know if you have any other questions, I'd be glad to help out!
Best Regards,

Using Platinum Voicemaster Pro Vocal Channel Strip with Logic Pro & MBox 3

Hiya,
I was wondering if you can help me please.
I have a small little home studio that I am currently building (just to record vocals mainly to instrumentals as I am singer/songwriter).
I am currently using Logic Pro 9 and MBOX Mini 3 as my midi interface but my producer who is based overseas told me to get a preamp. Many musicians have suggested I purchase Platinum Voicemaster Pro Vocal Channel Strip. CAN ANY CONFIRM WHETHER THIS WILL WORK WITH LOGIC PRO 9 AND GIVE ANY ADVICE AS TO HOW IS THE BEST WAY TO USE IT WITH LOGIC PRO 9 AND MY MBOX MINI 3?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.

Thank you both for your input. I am back on the case again, this time with a fully functioning FCB1010. Right ou of the box the pedal does successfully send volume and pan with expression pedal a and b respectively.
What I would next like to accomplish is to have exp. ped. b now control a plug-in parameter instead, the pedal range on the fuzz-wah plug-in of Logic Pro 7 for expample.
When I use Automation Quick Access to edit the assignment of ped. b as Bryan suggested, Logic appears to be receiving the info from ped. b and creating the new assignment (as indicated in the Controller Assignments window), and yet the actual functionality doesn't change, that is, ped. b continues to control pan.
Any suggestions?
Best regards, Dan
