Worrying about iMac with Logic Pro. (i mean big fan noise)

hi.
i am thinking about buying a new iMac with Apogee Ensemble. but i am a bit worried about the fan noise from imac when i use lots of plug-ins and etc.
well... the best way is to buy a Mac Pro and stash the machine in a machine room or a cabinet or something. but the budget is low here.
does anyone have any good ideas? do i have to take the fan noises? or is it really so powerful so that makes no such big fan noises?
thanks

I have no doubt that you and I haven't been reading the same posts, but I was under the impression that most people were much more infuriated that there was no announcement or run up to the launch (and thus they bought L9 just before).
Actually, we have been reading the same posts! Apple, historically, have never (and I do mean NEVER) pre-announce releases of Logic Pro. They are always announced on release day, even going back to before the Mac App Store, when boxed versions were still available. Apple do have quite a generous refund policy, so I suggest that anyone who feels cheated could always 'report an issue' via the link in the receipt email and try and obtain a refund. Personally, I would never buy a current version of Logic Pro until July was over, but as I've been using it for over 11 years now (before Apple bought Emagic), I guess I'm very familiar with the release times.
So why not keep support for EXSManager/Keymap, or at least a download link for paying customers. There is no other program that can do what it did unless you want to go back to an old version of Logic and utilise functionality that they removed yet is still relevant today.
Redmatica wouldn't have been allowed (under the terms and conditions of the buyout), to keep making the EXSManager, it would have been illegal as it's now an Apple product. That's like saying why didn't Emagic keep making a version of Logic for the PC after Apple bought them, because they obviously weren't allowed under the terms and conditions because it became an Apple product. While I can understand your frustration, you also have to understand the legalities that take place during takeovers and buyouts, as it's really not as simple as it may at first appear.

  • Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Hi there,
    Did you find out anything more in regard to this?
    I have been using Pro Tools 8 with the MBox 2 connected to my iMac operating Leopard. It worked a treat for nearly four years.
    However the hardrive has just been replaced on the iMac which now has Snowleopard.  I don't want to have to update to Lion and then fork out £500 for Pro Tools 10. 
    I would be content to get Logic Pro 9 if I can attach the MBox 2 to it.
    Your advice would be appreciated

  • Questions about Novation Remote 25SL integration with Logic Pro 8

    Preface: I have to apologize in advance if this seems somewhat confusing. I'm sure some of the terms I'm using are just plain wrong - I'm somewhat of a n00b.
    I have a Novation Remote 25SL configured to use AutoMap with Logic Pro 8 from Novation's website and most things are working well. It's confusing at times because sometimes I find it hard to tell what mode the keyboard is in, but that's ok - it's the least of my worries. Based on what I've seen through reading the manuals and my own experimentation, I have a couple of questions:
    - Despite what the guy at the store told me, I can't seem to figure out how to select different kits from within the SL. For example, if I have a garageband instrument selected on a track - can I use the data/select knob on the SL as it is now, or do I have to program that somewhere, somehow? Or if I have Ultrabeat on a track, can I use the knob to select the different kits/banks?
    - Is there a way to control non-Apple AU plugins like the rest of those which ship with Logic? All the sexy looking ones like Ringshifter, Compressor, Overdrive, etc. It seems odd that Remote will go into Mixer Automap mode and be able to control the certain portions of the instruments, but not the plugins that are automatically loaded into the channel strip when the instrument is loaded.
    - I have a 25 key Remote. In Ultrabeat, I find the key maps miss a chunk of notes between where the drum pads end and where the keyboard starts (or vice-verse). Is there a way to get it so each key has a mapping? 25 keys in Ultrabeat, 25 keys on the board plus 8 drum pads - seems like there's lots of room.
    Thanks in advance for all your feedback.

    Follow-up research:
    Apparently there is a driver conflict between the AlphaTrack and the ReMOTE. So far I have got the ReMOTE working - sort of - in Logic using the following method which was published at Novation's Answerbase:
    1. disconnect the alphatrack.
    2. launch Logic and then turn on the ReMOTE SL.
    3. Go into the Environment window, and add a Monitor Object. Connect it to the Remote SL's ports 2 and 3.
    So far, this seems to at least get MIDI note input into Logic, but the Automap function seems a bit sketchy so far. This will depend on Novation updating Automap and the SL's firmware for Logic 8.
    As noted previously, there doesn't seem to be any AlphaTrack support in Logic 8 yet and it's up to Apple to make it work. They do support their TranzPort product, so with luck there'll be support in the next update.
    I'd really love to use BOTH control surfaces with Logic simultaneously -- the AlphaTrack with the Mixer and plugins, the ReMOTE with Software Instruments. I suppose it might take some interesting mapping but this doesn't seem like that strange a setup -- there are plenty of "mixer surfaces" like the M-Audio one, and the Novation Automap stuff is quite popular....

    Well, Sylenth I know... works under Logic Pro 9 and it should be found by left clicking and holding... the Software Insturment Button (The one just below where it says i/o and then scrolling down in the menu that appears to the Instrument section below the Apple Plugins...
    I don't know about Massive 1.01 because i think that one is not Logic 9 compatible because it is so old.... and I have never used Vanguard... but according to it's specs the latest version should be found in the same place as Sylenth...
    Both Sylenth and Vanguard are 32bit plugins...
    ...and.. it probably doesn't help that you are using older/not 'legal' copies of these plugins.... *ahem*

  • 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

    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?

  • Audio/MIDI Interface Compatibility with Logic Pro 7.2

    Hello,
    Is/are there a recommended audio/midi interface(s) that will work without audio/midi timing glitches with Logic Pro 7.2? Currently, I am using Pro Tools LE v7.1, along with the DIGI002 Rack. That combination works very well, with no glitches whatsover. The possibility of using Logic Pro 7.2 raises the question of what would be a compatible interface. I don't think the DIGI002 Rack has the necessary drivers, although I may be mistaken. However, there must be an interface that works well with Logic Pro 7.2.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    Thank you,

    iMac Intel Dual Core   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hello,
    I went to the Metric Halo Web site and was not able to find the interface that you may have been referring to. It looks like the Mobile I/O may be the correct one, however, that interface is much more than I would want to spend (http://www.mhlabs.com/metric_halo/products/mio/)
    The price seems to be @ $1200. Anyway, I am somewhat confused regarding the Metric Halo.
    Any additional advice/help would be appreciated.

  • Mackie onyx 1640i digital mixer compatible with logic pro x??

    I have a macbook pro 10.9.1. And was curious about purchasing a mackie onyx 1640i digital mixer. Is it compatible with logic pro x DAW?? Feed back would be much, much appreciated!

    Well I got the 13 mackbook pro retina, mackie onyx1640i three days ago and havent got the onyx and the mac to talk to each other.  Problem is, mackie had a firewire 400 output and the Mac has a thunderbolt input.  So i guess you got to use adapters?  I have an old macbook pro and it does have a 400 firewire input.  I dont know what they were thinking, they need a 400 firewire and one end and a thunderbolt cable at he other.  Marco805

  • DVD-A surround with Logic pro... Troubles

    I'm producing and mixing an album with logic pro 8 in surround mode 5.1
    In the window bounce, I can create a DVD-A... Cool, but I cannot read and test it with the dvd player include in my iMac.
    I want to create a DVD-A who can be read on all DVD players and control it before duplication for the sale.
    I've tried to import the surround files into Waveburner but it's impossible, only 2 channels files are accepted.
    How can I do ?
    Is someone can help me ?

    Hi. I believe DVD-A is still not a free protocol, and DVD-A players are rare. and though Logic can make DVD-A, there is no program for the Mac that can actually play them. I'll try a little search, there has been a comprehensive thread on exactly this topic - though more than a year ago, if I remember correctly...

  • Korg nano séries it compatible with Logic Pro x ?

    Korg nano séries it compatible with Logic Pro x ?

    It's usually not about if the hardware is compatible with LPX.. It's if it is compatible with Mountain Lion that matters... as LPX needs 10.8.4 to run...
    So, if the Nano series is compatible with Mountain Lion, you should be good to go..
    To find out, see Korg's website

  • 01v96i Yamaha...will it work with logic pro X

    I bought the new Yamaha 01v96i Mixer but I can't make it works with Logic pro, in the list of available DAW I only find the 01v96 which is not the same and in-fact it does not work with the 01v96i.
    Does anyone have an idea on how to set Logic for it or at least does anyone know if the new Logic Pro X has the new 01v96i in the list?

    Lyford,
    Again, in regards to hardware... it is not about LPX compatibility.. It is about compatibility with the OS X version and it's CoreAudio... Once you 'get' that point then everything else makes sense...
    Tascam are notorious about leaving owners of "End of Line" products 'high and dry' when OS X is updated... and as you have found... the 1884 is not compatible with Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and likely will never be so... because Tascam will not be releasing Mountain Lion drivers for it.. so, it is not something you can use with LPX, which requires Mountain Lion 10.8.4 as a minimum requirement.
    As an aside, Apple have acknowledged they make an error in simply using the LP9 Hardware compatibility chart for LPX (as LP9 could be used with earlier OS X versions for which there were drivers for the 1884 for example) and have said they will be issuing an updated version "in the near future"......

  • Digidesign 192 units with Logic Pro X

    Hi- is it possible to use 2/3 Digidesign 192 units with Logic Pro X or am i still relegated to 8 ch in/out w the D. core audio driver? I recently bought an Universal Audio Apollo 16 that I can use for mixing/editing on my iMac or MacBookPro but I have 2 192 units and am thinking of buying another to run on an 2009 Mac Pro for live recording or would I be better off just selling the 192's and purchasing another Apollo 16for 32 tracks for live recordings?
    I could only get 8 ch in/out with LP 9 and will need more inputs for the live recording rig and would rather use Logic than PT 8.
    Thanks!

    Logic Remote detects Logic Pro via Bonjour, which is done via a technology called "DNS Multicast". AirPlay, etc. all work this way. Make sure it has the most recent firmware and maybe google for issues with it.
