Using Midas console with Logic

Hello,
I am kinda new to Logic and have a question. I am using a Midas Venice 32F console with Firewire output to record all 32 channels into Logic. Today, I tried to send those same 32 channels back through the board, which Midas will allow, but I could only get Logic to send a stereo signal. I set everything that I could find (audio/midi setup, Logic output, sound output) to reflect the Firewire connection as the output device for the program and the laptop. Still only a stereo send? What really frustrates me is that Reaper, the free solution, will do this with no problems which means it is a software issue and not my laptop or the board. Please help.
This is my equipment...
15" MBP with Intel chip and 8 Gb's of RAM running Mavericks
Midas Venice 32F console
Logic Pro X
Thanks again for the help.

For all of those out there having the same issue with Logic Pro X. I have figured it out and finally got around to making a video of how to make it work. Here it is so you can check it out, share it, comment on it, whatever. Thanks for the help in getting this issue solved.

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.

Aggregate devices are setup in the Audio/Midi setup of OSX Utilities, (Not in Logic). It gives you a way of having for than one audio i/o device. Once you have set up your aggregated devices in Audio/Midi, when you start Logic you will need to go into Audio preferences and choose the Aggregate device.

Can I use MainStage 2 with Logic Express 9.1.6

Is it possible to use MainStage 2 with Logic Express 9.1.6.? Are there any limitations to not having Logic Pro 9. I'm very happy with LE9.1.6. as it meets all my needs (perhaps with the exception of not having Space Designer) but if I need to upgrade to get the most out of MainStage 2 then I will.
Thanks.

Actually I have found a way for at least the instrument plug ins to be accessed.
I was able to set up an instance of Sculpture in MS2 and record it in LE using Soundflower.
Route the audio from MainStage to Logic and record onto an audio track in Logic as follows:
If not already installed, get SoundFlower. After installing it.
A) Setup the sound you want in MS2 and audio output to Soundflower (remember to Apply Changes or it does not hold).
B) In Logic Express set the audio input to Soundflower and create a new audio track for recording. Important: set Soundflower's audio output to however you listen to your audio or you won't hear anything.
C) Press RECORD and start playing, LE captures Mainstage's sound.
I have not tried to wire LE's output to MS2 to take advantage of Space Designer. but since this functions, I'm not sure why that couldn't work as well. It is still flipping though a few screens though...might just be easier to get Logic Pro from the App store....

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.

Please take a quick look at this: Midi Problem with Logic 8.0.2

Hello, I am trying to connect up my Roland FP3 Keyboard with Logic 8.0.2. I am using the following MIDI IN/OUT to USB device:
MUSIC STORE Midi Port 1x1 USB
http://www.musicstore.de/de_DE/EUR/-/art-PCM0006795-000
In the Audio Midi Setup in Mac OS X 10.5.5, the Midi device calls itself WORLDE MIDI PORT and is automatically recognized. However, when I click on "Test Setup", nothing happens. This is not the first time that i have setup such a device and i recall that with other MIDI-USB devices that the computer plays some kind of sound to confirm that the MIDI-USB device is working.
More importantly, when i open up Logic 8.0.2, the transport bar displays "No In", "No Out". This is very confusing seeing as that the device is recognized in the Audio/Midi Setup. It is unlikely that the device is broken, because I've now gone back to the store where i bought it and replaced the first device with an identical second device - and am now having the same problem. The staff at this music store say that the Midi-USB device should automatically display, for example, C-sharp 4, in the transport bar without any additional tinkering. I have a feeling though that there is some kind of button that i have not pressed (or HAVE pressed that i shouldn't have pressed) and as a result can't play music in from my keyboard into my computer.
I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to give me a helpful pointer here. As you can imagine this is quite frustrating. Thank you very much in advance!

"No in No out" simply means there is no MIDI coming in or going out +at that moment+. If you strike keys and move controllers and it still says no in no out, then you may have a problem. Is that the case? Have you actually touched the keys...?

Has anyone successfully used OSX Lion with Logic 8, a Digi002 and Digidesign's Coreaudio? Need to know for iCloud update.

I need to upgrade to Lion for iCloud and to shift my mobile me iDisk to iCloud in order to save the content I have and need to share.
Anyone using Logic 8 with this? I want to be sure, as I can't afford to upgrade everthing just yet.
Thanks

I can give a partial answer.
If you're installing Lion over the top of Snow Leopard Logic should be fine, it you're going to run a clean install of Lion, Logic 8 will not install but will run if you can copy it over from a working SL install.
Update: This thread has info on how to install Logic 8 on a clean install of Lion.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18270040#18270040
The other issue are Digi's Core Audio MIDI drivers, they don't seem to be Lion compatible yet so while you may have the audio part of the interface working with Lion, you have to remove the MIDI drivers or Logic chokes while booting up. (unless there are new drivers I don't know about) Perhaps others have more info on the Digi situation.

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....

Using External Effects with Logic

I'm about to purchase Logic 9, and also need an Audio Interface.
I've got a Korg MicroKorg, which I intend to line-in for its own synth functionality. I also intend to use it as a midi control surface to use percussion, etc., in Logic. How would this work with external effects?
If I create a drum track in Logic, I'd like to do things like run that track through pedals like an EHX Flanger Hoax (I realize sound quality may vary, given that this is a guitar effect).
How what I do that, and what would I need to look for in an Audio Interface to allow me to get the audio out of Logic, through the pedal, and back into Logic?
Thx.

I think I understand you - you have a choice of Firewire or USB connected devices - Firewire devices are faster and generally more reliable and can handle a larger bandwidth, so if you're planning on recording numerous inputs, for example, this will matter. However, USB devices are pretty good on the whole - I'm using a simple Apogee One at the moment, which is perfectly adequate for my purposes, but my earlier point was that it obviously wouldn't be any good for using external effects since you're going to need to send a signal out from Logic (maybe via a Bus/Auxiliary) to your effects device and then return it back into Logic, so you need an interface with enough inputs and outputs to be able to do that. You might want to have other outboard gear permanently connected for convenience, so only you can work out how many inputs and outputs you'll need and obviously, the bigger the requirement, the more expensive it will be. You'll have to do some Googling to give you an idea - Apogee, Focusrite and MOTU are good starting points, in my opinion but there's a vast range (I'd avoid MAudio)
http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&gs_nf=1&cp=22&gs_id=2g&xhr=t&q=audio+interfaces+f or+mac&pf=p&sclient=psy-ab&oq=audio+intefaces+for+ma&gs_l=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_g c.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=426f61de939593dc&biw=1231&bih=579
Another point I was trying to make earlier is that Logic includes such a large range of effects to choose from (the Pedalboard is an emulation of various fx pedals which you can swop around) that you may find you can get the kind of sounds you want 'in the box' - so that's well worth a try first.

Oxygen25 midi issue with Logic 9.1.8

Just recently bought a Oxygen25 midi keyboard controller and I'm running it on the latest macbook pro (10.8.2), with logic pro 9.1.8 - 32 bit. Everything functions on the midi keyboard expect the 8 controller Knobs, no matter what I do I can't get the knobs to recorded functions into Logic. I've download the latest directlink mode drivers and installed them correctly, I've gone into controller assignment window using learn mode button and assigned each knob to certain functions, cutoff, speed on ES2 synth. When you play the keyboard and turn the knobs the sounds work fine (no problem) but when I hit recorded the sounds play but will not record into logic. The pitch bend shows and works in the hyper editor and the All velocities but there's nothing coming through on the rest (Volume, Pan, Modulation, Ch. Pressure, Poly Program and Program.
I'm I missing something really simple here or does this keyboard just not work with logic ? I've been on M-audio website and there's no solutions, I've also looked on discussion board but had no luck. Any advice or help would be welcome, please help me get back into making some music.
Found this article on M-audio but not sure what it relates to - (These knobs map to control the track volume for the currently active bank of eight tracks)
Thank-you
Andrew

I'm having the exact same issue with the Multipressor in Logic (but not in Waveburner). What gives?

MIDI editing with Logic Express (Thinking about buying Express)

I currently use GarageBand to write songs using MIDI. When I want to finalize a song, I use Pro Tools to give it some gentle limiting. I'd use Pro Tools exclusively, but I find GB so easy to use that I can't see myself bothering with PT for MIDI.
How are the MIDI editing capabilities on Logic Express? How would they compare in terms of ease of use versus GarageBand (and Pro Tools, for that matter)? Is there another program out there that's great for MIDI editing/programing? Can GarageBand export MIDI (I doubt, though...).
[ I wish I could use the software instruments found (free) in Pro Tools with GarageBand, seeing as how I'd have a little more to choose from and a bit higher quality. How would you rate the software intruments found in Logic Express? ]
MacBook (2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 677 MHz) Mac OS X (10.4.8) GarageBand & Pro Tools

Hi Jose,
My version of Protools is 6.4, so the midi editing in Logic Express,
is far better, if you like GarageBand you'll probably Love Express,
apart from the learning curve everything's better.
Better than Express only Logic pro.
Every sound you have in GB you have in Logic ( I believe they share the same audio engine) but with the benefit the plug-ins (32 bits internal process it sounds better) also you can twick the sounds, plus you have Soft synths and sampler with loads of new sounds.
Cheers,
Jorge

Anyone use an Mbox2 with logic?

I am considering the purchase of an MBox2. Before making the investment, i would like to know if it works well with logic. I've heard bad things on the digidesign drivers. I currently use a Motu 896 flawlessly with Logic 7.1.
Any feedback much appreciated, thanks !

Have to agree that the MBox 2 is a step (or 10) down from the 896 - though i would guess you just want to be able to run Pro Tools (LE) without spending too much cash. In which case there isn't much choice.
I can't believe that Digi has stuck with USB1 for the MBox 2 - although at least they included Midi in/out this time - and i like the new design too.
A small Firewire based interface is surely what everyone wanted/expected this time round though - similar to the (superior) Focusrite Saffire.
Yet again Digi shoot themselves in the foot.
NB: With the release of M-Box 2 this may of course also mean the Digi 003 units arn't far away.

Control external MIDI synth with Logic Pro X

I purchaced Logic Pro X to use it as a MIDI-sequencer for my external stagepiano: the Roland RD-700sx including two expansion boards (SRX-04 and SRX-10). I want to make records to create my own music. Before I record it as audio I want to record it as MIDI, because in that form it's easier to make adjustments.
The RD-700sx is GM-compatible, though the better quality sounds are stored in certain banks, which one can select bij entering a specific number to the MIDI control assignments MSB and LSB. For example: to select the Superior Grand Piano, MSB = 87, LSB = 64 and PC (program change) = 1. To select the 60's E. Piano 2, MSB = 87, LSB = 65 and PC = 5. To select the first tone wheel organ MSB = 112, LSB = 0 and PC = 1. To select the SX Rock Kit (drums) MSB = 86, LSB = 72 and PC = 2. And to select the staccato cello on my expansion board MSB = 93, LSB = 3 and PC = 79.
I spent a lot of time searching and asking on the internet how to select the desired sounds, but I don't know how to do it. So far I know you have to create a multitimbral MIDI environment and on each of the 16 channels you can assign a bank and enter the values of MSB and LSB. I found this article: Logic Pro/Express 9: Defining Custom Bank Messages - Apple Support
I understand a part of it, though I have too little experience with Logic Pro X to get the job done. Can someone please explain it to me from the beginning to the end? You would help me a lot!!!

did you do a firmware update on 003 ?
