Using Vienna Ensemble with Logic 8 - Question

Greetings,
I have the Vienna special edition and have set up and instance of the VE. What I'd like to do is have a VE configured that can remain open and access it from whatever logic project I'm working on. In this way I could move from one cue to another loading the samples.
I don't seem to have it set up correctly. Whenever I close one project the VE closes with it.
Is anyone using the VE as I describe and if so would you be kind enough to help this dunderhead.
Cheers,
MJ

For me working with the VI is a mess really. The behaviour of the GUI is terrible it always slips behind the Arrange screen when you edit inside Logic and you have to go searching for your VI behind the Arrange to edit it. With several VIs it's even worse as they will clutter the whole screen. Also they don't don't open like normal Plugs but they have a sort of Pre-Plug In window which you have to open first to access the VI. But try it out for yourself, concerning RAM it's the same as the VE, working with a standalone gives you another 2,7 Gigs of accessable physical RAM though.
That's why I use VE 3 as an Instrument container that works great and is by far the best solution.

Ensemble with Logic 8 on Leopard stability question

I'm on the verge of ordering an Apogee Ensemble, particularly for its integration with Logic. I'd read that there were initially issues with drivers and stability. As I search the forum, it looks like there have been some mixed experiences in terms of stability even fairly recently.
Are folks finding that things are working reliably at this point between the Ensemble with Logic 8 (Studio) running under Leopard?
Thanks in advance for responses!

I find my Ensemble to be rock solid so far (purchased last month). However Logic itself is flakier than a leper with chronic dandruff and exscma in a detergent factory.

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....

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 two monitors with Logic

I've never used two screens before, so can someone please answer these basic questions?
With LE and Logic Pro, can you have whatever window you like on each monitor - for example Arrange window on one and a score editor on the other? Or is it limited to certain combinations?
And if you've got the mouse cursor on one screen, how does the cursor get to the other screen? Key combination or just push the mouse further across?
Hope someoen can help!

Hi Robin
I´ve been using 2 monitors for several years now, and it´s very nice with logic pro. I can´t live without it anymore.
You can use whatever windows in combination to build different screensets. Think of it as it´s one big desktop. When you move the curser near the border off one monitor it pops up on the other. Go for it, you wont regreat it.
nice regards

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...

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.

Duplicate processing by DBAdapter when using Distributed Polling with Logical Delete Strategy

We have DBAdapter based polling services in OSB running across two Active-Active clusters (total 20 managed service across 2 clusters),
listening to the same database table. (Both clusters read from the same source DB). We want to ensure distributed polling without duplication,
hence in the DBAdapter we have selected Distributed Polling option, meaning we are using "Select For Update Skip Locking".
But we see that sometimes, same rows are processed by two different nodes and transactions are processed twice.
How do we ensure that only one managed server processes a particular row using select for update? We do not want to use the markReservedValue option which was preferred in older version of DBAdapter.
We are using following values in DB Adapter configuration, the Jdev project for DBAdapter and the OSB proxy using DBAdapter are attached.
LogicalDeletePolling Strategy
MarkReadValue = Processed
MarkUnreadValue = Initiate
MarkReservedValue = <empty as we are using Skip Locking>
PollingFrequency = 1 second
maxRaiseSize = 1
MaxTransactionSize = 10
DistributionPolling = checked (adds lock-n-wait in properties file and changes the SQL to SELECT FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED)
Thanks and Regards

Hi All,
Actually I'm also facing the same problem.
Step I follwed:
1) Created a job_table in database
create talbe job_table(id, job_name, job_desc, job_status)
2)created a bpel process to test the Inbound distributed polling.
3)Configure the DBAdapter for polling.
a)update a field in the job_table with logical delete.
b)select the field name form the drop down
c) change the read value-->Inprogress and unRead value--->Ready
d) dont change the value for Reserved value
e) select the check box for "distributed polling".
f) the query will be appended with "For update NoWait."
g)click next and then finish.
4) Then i followed the below steps.
To enable pessimistic locking, run through the wizard once to create an inbound polling query. In the Applications Navigator window, expand Application Sources, then TopLink, and click TopLink Mappings. In the Structure window, click the table name. In Diagram View, click the following tabs: TopLink Mappings, Queries, Named Queries, Options; then the Advanced… button, and then Pessimistic Locking and Acquire Locks. You see the message, "Set Refresh Identity Map Results?" If a query uses pessimistic locking, it must refresh the identity map results. Click OK when you see the message, "Would you like us to set Refresh Identity Map Results and Refresh Remote Identity Map Results to true?Ó Run the wizard again to regenerate everything. In the new toplink_mappings.xml file, you see something like this for the query: <lock-mode>1</lock-mode>.
5) lock-mose is not changed to 1 in toplink_mappingss.xml
Can we edit the toplink_mappings.xml manually.
If yes, what allt he values Ineed to change in toplink_mappings.xml file, so that it will not pick the same record for the multiple times in clustered environment.
Please help me out this is urgent.
Thanking you in advance.

Using File Adapter with Logical Name

I am creating a file adapter with Logical name. Apart from giving the Logical name is there any other configuration that I am suppose to do on the Web Logic before I start using it?
Thanks in Advance.

After configuring the file adapter, all you need to do is , give the path as a value for the logical name which you have created earlier. That you can do on the file adapter property inspector. There is no need to do anything on the server level. Lemme know
Thanks,

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 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

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

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)

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.

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

Native B4 with Logic Pro question

Hi !
I'm using Native B4 with an M-Audio Keystation 88es.
My question is... is there any way I can channel a ride cymbal to play along with the B4 in the lower keyboard split? (In other words I have one keyboard. I would be walking lower manual bass in my left hand, but a ride would be playing along with it, similar to a bass/ride split on a piano.)
Can someone explain this step by step or refer me to the page in the manual?
Thx !

The environment is a playpen for this kind of stuff - it's MIDI processing facilities beat anything else out there.
In the environment, create a new instrument - call it "Split". Assign it to the current track in the arrange page by clicking on it with the "MIDI Thru" tool (or just select it on an arrange track in the usual way).
This instrument is the instrument that we play. Now, create two new instruments (called "left" and "right"), and cable the "Split" instrument to the "left" one. As second output triangle will appear on "Split", so cable the second output to the "right" instrument. This way, the notes you play get sent to both of these two new instruments.
"Left" is going to be our left keyboard split. Adjust the low note and high note values to cover the keyboard range you want the organ to cover.
Similarly, adjust the note range of "Right" so it's lowest note starts at the highest note set on "Left".
Lastly, cable the output of "Left" to the audio instrument holding your organ, and the output of "Right" to your drum thing. You can adjust the transpose values on either of "Left" and "Right" to play the desired range.
You've just used the environment to set up a simple keyboard split across two virtual instruments.
In the same way, you can set up multi-keyboard splits, layers with crossfading, velocity splits and many other cool stuff across multiple instruments.
