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:

  • 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.

  • 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 midi controllers with Logic....

    Hi,
    if i wanted to play two midi controllers (e.g. a Roland A90 set to midi channel 1, and a Novation SL61 set to Midi channel 2), to play two soft synths within logic at the same time, can I do this?
    I've been reading this topic also:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1596520&tstart=0
    My midi mapping inspector won't give me acces to change the midi channel when selecting a software/midi instrument channel - it just says 'midi-thru', yet in the manual it shows an illustration with midi channel displayed...
    any help gratefully appreciated.
    I know i can play the above two controllers in main stage at the same time, but i also want to record the sounds i make at the same time?

    You need the SECOND window, below the 'midi thru' one - look under the greyed out +Core Audio Inst 1+:
    any help gratefully appreciated.

    Yes, should work now.

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

  • How do I use two external monitors with my laptop?

    I have a new Pavilion dm4-301 d cl Entertainment PC.   My OS is Windows 7.   I am used to using two external monitors with a docking station.   This new laptop does not have a docking station.  What do I need to get  to use two external monitors? 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Certainly not without a dock but even with, HP laptop docks pretty well limit you to one of the external monitor ports, even if there are two on the dock. We have used a device called an Atlona AT-HDPIX2 which is a usb to hdmi adapter. It provides a third monitor capability for a laptop....use the native external monitor port and the internal laptop display and then this device gives a third monitor which is full configurable from the Windows 7 display interface...clone, extend, etc. It allows full HD resolution and is responsive enough for even light gaming.  HP makes no true docking station for your laptop. 

  • 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

  • How to use Two main windows with in a page in script ?

    Hi any body explain me...
    How to use Two main windows with in a page in script ?
    with  header data in one main window,
    & Item data in other main window.

    HI..,
    u need to go for <b>SPLITTING THE MAIN WINDOW</b> !!!
    Main windows in page windows allow you to format text in multiple columns. Define an area in the page window, in which to position the main windows.
    Here is the procedure !!
    -->Create a page window and assign it to a page.
    Choose <b>Edit --> Main windows</b>.
    A dialog box appears.
    -->Enter values in the fields <b>Area width</b> and A<b>rea height</b> in accordance with the input guidelines for main windows.
    -->Enter values in the fields <b>Spacing</b> and Number in the <b>Horizontal group</b> if you want to use multiple columns. You can ignore the fields in the Vertical group.
    Determine how many columns and line areas are required for label printing. Then enter the corresponding values in the fields in the <b>Horizontal and Vertical groups</b>.
    -->The value in the field Left margin varies from main window to main window if multiple columns are used. The following applies:
    <b>
    Left margin of current column + Window width + Horizontal spacing = Left margin of next column</b>
    In label printing, the field Upper margin also varies from main window to main window:
    <b>
      Upper margin of current main window +  Window height + Vertical spacing = Upper margin of next main window</b>
    -->Enter a value in the field Start position.
    This is a counter. Enter a starting value which is equal to or greater than 1.
    -->The main windows are added to the list.
    -->Save your form.
    reward if it helps u...

    If your info is correct you need to first buy Snow Leopard from the Apple on-line store ($20) install and update to 10.6.8 and then buy Lion from the App Store for $20.

    Can I use two separate computers with the same adobe ID.  I want to update my kobo from either unit

    I doubt it is possible to run two instances of iTunes on the computer at the same time.  To do so would require two users to be signed in and running iTunes under each user.
    The better solution would be to either clean up and merge the two libraries or have iTunes running on a second computer.

  • How to do consolidation using two chart accounts with different currencies

    Hi
    How to do consolidation using two chart accounts with different currencies and do we need to use same fiscal year variant ?
    What would be the impossible factors when we use two company codes with two chart of accounts ...
    Regards
    Kesharika

    Good Afternoon
    You need to use translationa and/or valuation
    translation takes account in foreign currency and translates to group currency
    valuation takes account in currency 1 and restates into currency 2 for a company with currency 2
    so depends on which company you are consolidating for, a company in a foreign currency in that currency or consolidating a compnay in foreign currency to parent company in another currency

  • Can I use one GBIP-Interface with two programs at the same time?

    Hi, I have one PCI-GBIP-controller with multiple instruments installed. Now I want to use these instruments with two differents programs at the same time.
    E.g.: program 1 uses GPIB0::1 and GPIB0::3
    and program 2 uses GPIB0::4 and GPIB0::7
    Is this possible??
    When I have tried to do this, I always got timeout errors..
    Thanx in advance.
    Philipp

    Hi,
    You shouldn't have any problems accessing different devices from different programs using the same interface. I even used the two VIs to communicate with the same device. Although not the best approach, VISA didn't return any errors.
