Help!!! The best audio interface for Logic Studio

Hey y'all,
I'm looking for an audio interface. Requirements are: microphone- (XLR), instrument- (1/4") and midi-connectors. I'd like to record everything 1 by 1 all by myself, without audio playback/slowing-down issues. I'm quite new with recording and have no idea which one suits my system and software the best. I want to record as easy as possible and with the most beautiful results available. Price range of up to €500.
My MacBook Pro:
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Geheugen 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
My software: Logic Studio
Thanks!

If Midi connectivity is important: Focusrite Saffire 6 (USB). Check out the User Guide:
http://www.focusrite.com/downloads/saffire_6_usb/
Otherwise, I would strongly recommend Mackie's Onyx Blackjack, especially when also out gigging. Check out the product page and you can also download an Owner's Manual:

I use the Mackie . User Guides/Manuals are a great way of checking out detail about a product when deciding what to buy.
I thought that Sennheiser were well known for headphones, not microphones.

What is the best audio interface to buy to record drums?

What is the best audio interface to buy to record drums? Looking for something with 8 inputs to mic my drum kit. Don't want to go past $1,000. Been looking at the Presonus Firestudio and M-Audio Profire 2626, for example. This is my first time setting up a home studio so any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks.

The MOTU interfaces are a good value, and as Pancenter notes, they have rock-solid drivers. I've had good experiences with the Traveler, although I'd bypass the mic pres if possible.
And if you're able to spend a bit more, the Metric Halo 2882 also has excellent drivers and noticeably-better sound--it's my fave in the <$2k range. If you can find a used Apogee Ensemble, that's another great-sounding interface, although it can't match the latency performance of the MOTU or Metric Halo. So, for software instruments, the Ensemble is not a good choice, but for recording acoustic drums, a used one for $1300-1500 would be excellent.

I know I could opt for the most expensive and probably get what I want that way, but I´m not made of money, so what are your suggestions for minimum criteria and which would you recommend?

MacBooks Pro are great Macs with a good hardware, so all of them will work for the use you want, but I think that you want the biggest display possible because of your uses. In this case, it has to be a 15-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro, with the settings you want. Note that, after buying the Mac, you can upgrade the HDD and memory without voiding the warranty, so you are free to install as much memory and the HDD size you want after buying it. It's my opinion, but you are free to do whatever you think it's better

What is the best audio interface to use with Garageband?

I just bought a new iMac last week. I have several instruments I want to record using Garageband. Is there a USB/Thunderbolt audio interface that someone recommends? I'm looking at 4 inputs at the very least. Thanks!

right....
first of all do a search in this forum. This question has been asked numerous times.....
if you're still unsure then when you post again it could be an idea to tell us:
1. kind of music you make.
2. The number of inputs/outputs needed (e.g. are you gonna record a 6 piece band simultaneously?)
3. Your midi needs.
4. The number of keys you would prefer on a midi keyboard
5. whether you would like a lot of buttons and knobs
6. your budget!!!
otherwise i might suggest an apogee ensemble which is tres expensive - but it is one of the best interfaces for logic pro
I don't mean to rant, but the more specific info you give, the more specific info you'll get. But if you haven't even done a simple search on these forums for five minutes then why will others spend five minutes to help?
one other tip: stay clear of m-audio audio interfaces with Logic.
Hope that helps

What's the best way to run Logic Pro from external hard drive.

What's the best way to run logic from external hard drive

Hi
Organism wrote:
Logic is designed to run from your Applications folder. I suspect if Logic was moved to an external drive, it might not be able to locate its assets, like loops and libraries.
As long the necessary files are in the correct places on the boot disc, you can run the Logic application itself fom wherever you like. It would not be recommended however, and there would be very little benefit (if any) in doing so.

What's the best graphic card for FCP X and a Mac Pro (early) 2008?

I have a Radeon HD 3870 in my Mac Pro, it seems that I cannot use this configuration with Final Cut Pro X. Then what's the best graphic card for FCP X usable in a Mac Pro (early) 2008?
Thx,
Phil

You can get a 5770 radeon ATI MAC card
Avoid the 5770 cards on ebay and Amazon - many are black market or manipulated cards.
Buy it from Apple online store or B&H photo or Macconection
And in my case, I was able to sell my old 2600 XT card on ebay for $65 and put that money toward a 5770 card (Which was about $230 minus the $65)
I installed the 5770 in my early Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 and it works great

What is the best anti~virus for macbook pro?

What is the best anti~virus foe macbook pro?

None whatsoever. I'm sure that you've heard the line that "Macs don't get viruses"? That's almost true - Macs can be infected with malware, however, and can pass viruses onto PCs. See Thomas Reed's Mac Malware Guide. The only two virus packages that are usually recommended are both free - Sophos and ClamXav. If you feel that you need AV software, try one or both.
Good luck,
Clinton

What is the best antivirus software for MacBook Pro?

Can someone please tell mewhich is the best antivirus program for macbook pro?

Hi..
Both Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac and ClamXav are recomended and both are free.
Actually, malware is more of a threat on a Mac than a virus.
Good read here > Thomas' Corner : Mac Virus Guide

For guitar, vocals, keyboard/drumpad controller, what is the best audio interface to use/record quality sound in Logic, Mainstage, Garageband, etc. (lowbudget)?

So many to choose from. im really just trying to record clean sounding electric guitar tracks now vocals in the future and keyboard/drumpad controller near future..(irrelevant but thought i should mention im in the market for a keyboard and drumpad controller combo hopefully will be usb or something) but i need a quality audio interface to use with Logic Pro 9 and all the stuff that comes with it (mainstage, etc) and also Garageband. I have heard so many different reviews about this or that but all in all i dont think i can afford an apogee except maybe the apogee One but it at 249 or whatever i feel like i could get alot more bang for my buck. Ive heard alot of good things about m-audio gear but i heard mixed reviews as well. If someone can just tell me what is the best interface in the 100-200$ range for the needs ive listed above...Any responses or advice greatly apprecitated.
Thanks

hi mm
there are so many different sound cards out there these days it seems - ill just say that one that i got alot of use out of was the tascam 122 (http://www.tascam.com/Products/US-122.html)
it has 2 decent phantom powered XLR inputs, some midi stuff, a place to plug a guitar into and some nice big knobs.
the next level would be something with more ins (8 or 10) and probably firewire, and also around $400 i think.
oh, and your computer should be more than sufficient to handle what you want to do.

What are the best optimization settings for Logic 9....

Hey guys,
I am running Logic 9 on a Macbook Pro 2.53GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, OSX 10.6.4, with a AK1 soundcard. And I was wondering what the best optimization settings for this setup are?
I have been having a few issues with drop outs in sound during playback, which is also carried over when i bounce the audio. I did some research and found my latency settings needed to be higher, so I set the I/O buffer size to 512. I am also running all samples from the local hdd, I was thinking maybe put the samples on an external drive. I also changed Logic 9 to 64bit mode.
Does anyone know if this is right and anything else I need to do with Logic and/or the AK1??

First, return to 32-bit mode. 64 bit still has some ß-issues and some features that are not working/disabled, and the only perk of 64-bit is that Logic can adress more than 4 GB RAM, which you don't have anyway.
Samples on the startup drive is not a problem, unless you start using really big third party sample libraries, or zillions of EXS instruments. Some of the Logic content insists on residing on the startup disk anyway, better leave that where it is.
If you have an external, use that to store your Logic projects, or, in other words, make it your recording disk (as recordings are stored in the project folder). You do record audio too, I assume? Anyway, if you get an external, make it a FireWire one, not USB. FireWire is much easier on the CPU, and +for audio (and sample-) streaming+ more reliable and faster than USB.
If dropouts you hear during playback also show up in the (offline?) bounce, it is probably not a buffer issue, as the buffer is irrelevant for bouncing offline.
So how many tracks and what kind of tracks in this project? Which plugins and how many instances of them?

What is the best audio interface?

Hi,
I want an audio interface for around £100 to allow me to record vocals and guitar into my macbook pro.
I was wondering if anyone on this forum would be able to help me decide which is best (latency/quality) etc.
So far, i've found these two which i think one of them is probably my best option - i just don't know which one:
http://www.gak.co.uk/en/alesis-io-2-portable-usb-audio-interface/624
http://www.gak.co.uk/en/m-audio-fast-track-usb-v2/30573
Oh, and i will only be playing my guitar through a jack, not mic'ed up. So that won't be an issue with the M Audio.
Thank you in advance,
Tom.

Before doing anything, might be a good idea to try a couple of things.
First, re-install the control panel software then repair permissions.
try the fp10's
If that fails, reboot the Mac, set the Fp10's up the way you normally use them, then open Activity Monitor and Quit or Force Quit and running Presonus applications.
Try the fp10s.
