Whats up with Logic Being only sold from Apple and not retail . Are they about to drop Logic Pro?

What is up with Apple taking Logic Pro from the retail stores and only selling direct. Hope they are not about to drop Logic. The retailer I buy from has great tech support that I will more than likey no longer have since they can no longer carry the product.

Many IT insiders see Apple leading a shift in software distribution with the Mac App Store, that for example Microsoft will follow as soon as Win8 is out...
So basically it may well be that most of the Software will be bought direct in a couple of years and that Software Manufacturers may give up feeding their own channel, simply to cut cost and make it simple...
For support this indeed leaves a gap, but there are many examples in the IT world (ie. for Enterprise software, that has always been sold direct) how this gap will be filled: With guys that only provide service...
Logic is pretty darn cheap now, that leaves some space for 200 Bucks or so for a support contract, right?
Anyway, just my 2 cents, I can't see Logic going away anytime soon;-)

That is because you don't have a web server configured and running to serve the html page. In order to see the page in a browser you need to access it using a url similar to http://localhost/~yourUserName if you are serving the page from your user account.
Prior to Mountain Lion you could go into web sharing and turn on the web server. With Mountain Lion there is no option, other than using terminal, to turn on the web server. The web sharing menu item has been removed in Mountain Lion. Apache is still on your computer but it will take a little searching these forums or the Internet to find how to turn it on.
If you want a graphic user interface to turn on/off the Apache server you could download and install a server application like xampp, http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html. I use this and it works well.

I create a playlist with songs that I purchased from itunes and when I try to sync it to my iphone some of the songs are missing but when I go to the playlist in itunes the song is there. What could be happening? What am I doing wrong?

I've created playlists with songs I've purchased from iTunes and also added songs I've purchased from iTunes to existing playlists. Everytime I go to sync the playlist to my iPhone I find some of the new songs missing from the playlist. I've deleted the playlist from the phone and reinstalled it. I don't know what I"m doing wrong. Anyone have any idea what could be the problem?

Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.

What software do I need to download from apple to support Logitech Alert 750n Indoor Master System with Night Vision

I have a PowerBook 145B but something is wrong with the systemfolder so it wont boot. I've downloaded System 7.0.1 from Apple and put it on Floppys with my Macintosh Classic. The PowerBook boots from the floppy, after a minute its just white. What to do?

I have a PowerBook 145B but something is wrong with the systemfolder so it wont boot. I've downloaded System 7.0.1 from Apple and put it on Floppys with my Macintosh Classic. The PowerBook boots from the floppy but after a minute it just comes up a window thats completely white.
I've tried a lot of things, but my Macintosh classic (with original floppys) runs 7.0.0. And the PowerBook needs atleast 7.0.1 and did run 7.1.0 as original OS.
How do I fix this?

Because your PowerBook 145B shipped with OS 7.1, it can't run an earlier version of the Mac OS, such as 7.0.1. Unfortunately, Apple never made OS 7.1 available for download. You can run OS 7.5.1, 7.5.3, and 7.5.5 on your PowerBook, but I'd recommend doing so with the maximum amount of supported memory - 8 MBs. The 19-part download of OS 7.5.3 is segmented, so that each one will fit on a 1.44 MB floppy disk. The problem is that the 19-diskette set isn't an installer set as such, having no bootable disk. It's solely intended to be used to transfer the individual segments to the resident hard drive in the computer. Once that's done, double-clicking the first .smi segment creates the OS 7.5.3 installer disk image on the desktop, which you drag onto the hard drive icon. This produces a folder with the OS 7.5.3 installer in it. I've done this before with an old Mac LC and it works. You can also download the 3-diskette OS 7.5.5 Update and run that. These downloads can be found on the same page where you found the OS 7.0.1 download: Older Software Downloads.

Help with Logic Pro 8, Apogee Symphony System, and Nehalem 8-core Mac Pro

So here's the problem. I went on a shopping spree recently and purchased an 8-core Nehalem 8-core Mac with 14 GB RAM, Apogee's Symphony system (With Rosetta 800 and AD-16X), and I use this gear with Logic Pro 8.
I still get system overload messages. Sometimes with only 1 virtual instrument and 8 audio tracks!
What gives? I'm running the fastest machine on the fastest system with the fastest/cleanest hardware.
I'm running Logic Pro on all of its highest settings (like it should). Of course I could drop the buffer size and unclick a few things here and there. but why? Is my machine powerful enough to handle it or not?
I've deleted the plist a bunch of times and repaired hardisks and everything. any help from a certified LOGIC pro would be excellent and much appreciated! thanks in advance,
jayme

?It's highest settings?
Do you mean the sample buffer is at 32 or 1024.
Even though you have Apple's flagship system it's still possible for Logic to bring it to it's knees. High sample rates plus a couple of space designer reverbs can send a single core into an overload condition.
Try these settings under Preferences/Audio.
I/O Buffer Size - 256
Process buffer - medium
Do NOT have the I/O Safety Buffer selected.
More info.
What sample rate and bit depth are you recording at? ie: 48kHz, 24-bit?
When you open Logic's CPU meters are you seeing a single core spiking?
What effects are being used on the audio and single VI track?

Alesis Midi Controller Keyboard setup with Logic Pro 8

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me... I'm a complete newbie!
Recently bought a Macbook with Logic Pro 8 and would like to get set up for some home recording. The keyboard I want to use as a midi controller is the Alesis QS6 which has been in the wardrobe for some time. I have a Midiman USB midi interface.
When I connect it all up, I can't get it to make any sounds from Logic, only from the keyboard itself, which I don't want. A friend suggested taking out one of the midi cables so now I have only Midi out from the keyboard running into Midi in on the Midiman. When I play the keyboard the notes register on the Transport bar and I can even record them but I cannot hear anything.
Can anyone tell me what settings I need to have on the Alesis? Should the Keyboard Mode be on Normal, CH Solo or Out 1,2,3...16? I read somewhere I need to turn General Midi off, does this sound right? Is it something to do with midi channels - I don't even know how to tell which midi channel is selected in Logic.
If anyone has experience with using the QS6 with Logic I would love to hear from you!!!
Thanks!

Run the Audio/MIDI Setup utility. Is your keyboard/MIDI interface displayed in there?
If not, OSX does not see your MIDI device. Install it's drivers if it has them. If it doesn't have any drivers, your MIDI config might have got hosed. What keyboard is it?
Unplug and replug it, directly, don't use a hub. Does it show up in the AMS utility now? Try powering it for an adapter, not from USB.
If you still get no joy, I'll give you some procedures to try...

Novation Remote 25SL Not Working with Logic Pro (Logic Automap)

Hi,
I can't seem to get my new Novation Remote 25 SL to work in Logic Automap mode.
I have the Remote SL in Logic AutoMap (template #39). When I launch Logic Pro 7, The Remote SL shows : "Logic AutoMap" on the Left LCD display, and nothing else happens, it seems to be frozen at this state. The Up/Down arrows on the Left side don't change anything.
Any clues why this is happening ?
I have read many posts on this and other forums of user issues in setting the Remote up properly, and have it work in Logic Automode. Tried many configurations, and settings, re-installed sw, OS 1.0.13, but no luck so far.
I would like to hear from Logic Pro 7 users who have successfully setup their Remote SL with Logic Pro 7.2.1 in Logic Automode, and are working with this system without any issues.
This will be very helpful in figuring out if there is something wrong in my settings, or if the unit itself is defective, or I am doing something wrong during the installation of the software ? I have been trying to get this thing to work for the past two days, with no success so far.
The Remote SL should be a wonderful controller for Logic Pro 7 (once it works !) so, I'm being as patient as I can with this thing.
I'm using Logic pro 7.2.1 on a Mac G5 2.5 Quad, Mac OSX 10.4.6
Thanks.

Hi Blaze,
I tried your settings, but no change, the Remote SL is still frozen showing :
"Logic Automap" on the left LCD .
You mention setting "Mixer View 64" well the parameter I see is called :
"Mixer View Fader" which I guess is the same one you are referring to. I set it to 64, it was set to 8, but has not changed anything. Still having the same problem. This problem is dragging into Day 3, what a bummer.
Thanks.

USB Interface Not Working With Logic Pro 9

Hello,
I've had a Tascam US-1641 for several years now with absolutely zero issues on my old PC. Ever since I upgraded to Mac (early 2011 17 inch Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard) I've had nothing but problems with the US-1641. No matter how many times I uninstall-reinstall the drivers and what USB port I plug it into, whenever I turn on the device and it's connected to my Macbook, it crashes my operating system and it freezes everything I was doing. Logic Pro doesn't load and when it sometimes does (10 minutes later), it immediately crashes when I click anything.
I've tried several tips to fix it and nothing worked. The most popular choice was select the default input/output in Logic to the system audio, then quit Logic, turn on the interface, then restart Logic. No such luck. I have to reboot my machine at least 5 times, uninstall/reinstall the driver and hope it works to use the interface. I thought it was the operating system, so I upgraded to Mountain Lion and installed the new driver for Mountain Lion, after of course deleting the other drivers and removing all previous data, and it is still giving me the same problems.
I don't have the money to afford a replacement model or a different interface from a different company, so I'm hoping you guys can help me figure out what exactly it is that's causing the interface to freeze my operating system and crashing my Mac whenever I try to use it. I am getting extremely frustrated at this and as much as I love OSX and Logic, what good is this piece of software if I can't use it? I need help.
Thank you.

The problem lies with Tascam and their inability to write stable drivers for OS X... and isn't anything to do with Logic Pro ..
As you know, you are not the only person to have had this issue and the reality is, while the 1641 might work fine with Windows, when it comes to OS X Macs.. it's an entirely different story... depending on the version of OS XS you are running.
The one tip I have read, that seemed to fix it for most people.. (Though not all) is as follows;
(Thanks to Paulypaulpaul for this)
-uninstall your tascam driver 2.10
-restart
-install driver 1.03
-restart
-plug in your tascam
-goto where you download your drivers (http://tascam.com/product/us-1641/downloads/), scroll down to the bottom where it says firmware, Download the firmware 1.02 (3rd from top under firmware), install it. your control panal should now read 1.03 for your drivers and 1.02 for your firmware.
-install drivers 2.10
-restart
Follow each of the steps exactly.. including all restarts when indicated..
...and good luck...

Help with Logic Pro 8 Outputs

Hi
Struggling with something that i imagine is very simple but just cant work it out! Please help me.
I will be using Logic 8 within a live environment and need to basically get various audio tracks 'out' of logic via my interface into a mixing desk. I have 8 sub outs on my interface which is fine for me. (prob lots of people do this also with a mixing desk in the studio environment for intergration with the desk and outboard gear so i 100% sure it can be done!)
Prob 1 is that the track sub outs in logic come in stereo pairs. If i want bass to go to output 1 , and kick for eg to go to output 2, how can i do this???? Is there a way to change the track outputs to mono?
Prob 2 is that if i change the outputs in one session, for example click to output 3 - 4, vocals for example to output 5 and 6, then save the session, close and reopen, they have all reverted to output 1 and 2. In a live situation it is annoying to have to change these before each song starts!
I play in a electro band that incorperates live drums, analog synths, logic audio (backing tracks kinda thing) aswell as live instruments, and finding logic pretty challenging to use for this!! We are flat broke and cant afford new stuff so have been living with it but we are now starting to need more outputs (for the benefits of live mixing , ie not giving the engineer a stereo out) . Surely the mixer in logic is capable of these totally bog standard audio routing options?!?!?
Thanks alot for any help

Will my Kurzweil PC3 work with Logic Pro 9?

I spent months looking for the right keyboard--what I mean by 'right' is one that I felt sounded best. I ended up with a Kurzweil PC3.
Before I purchase Logic Pro 9, does anyone know if I can use the sounds on board (Kurzweil objects) with Logic Pro 9, instead of using the built-in sounds (objects) in Logic Pro 9? If so, how does one do it? I don't want to use this beautiful keyboard as just a MIDI controller.

My own setup is similar to your discussion. I use a Native Instrument Komplete 6 audio unit as the interface for both midi and audio into and out of Logic Pro 9.1.8. You can set up a Multi-channel instrument in the Logic environment, or use the External Instrument plug-in. In any case, there is a fair learning curve to get this right, but the multi-instrument in the environment is completely capable of controlling the PC3 if you set up the correct Bank change and program change messages. There is one major problem that I am having and that is using PC3 Setup mode. If you set the PC3 into Setup mode and hit some notes, it produces a midi-feedback loop between Logic and the synth, causing the PC3 to go insane if you are connected using the USB port. This is because the midi out from the PC3 is sent thru the Logic track and back out to the PC3 causing a midi feedback loop. In program mode it isn't as bad but does cause a small amount of delay echo. The only way I have got around this so far is to connect using midi cables instead of USB then when recording I disconnect the cable from the Komplete 6 to the PC3 midi in, leaving only the midi cable from the PC3 out to the Komplete for recording to Logic (while monitoring what I am playing via the PC3 audio outputs). Then when I want Logic Pro to drive the PC3, I disconnect the midi in to Komplete and reconnect the midi out to the PC3. Playing the recorded Logic track now drives the PC3 without any feedback. But, there has got to be a better way! Any ideas would be appreciated.
I think this result is because Logic always sends midi notes thru to midi output. Is there some way of preventing this?

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
