Digidesign stopped supporting interleaved files over 15 years ago in the DAE, and still doesn't. But you can certainly use interleaved files on native tracks (CoreAudio or DTDM). Universal Track Mode (and many other things in Logic, like elastic audio, multiple bit-depths, delay compensation) have nothing to do with the DAE. f-erenc szabo, smarty pants Z+E+R+O+B+E+A+T "NOW POWERED BY THE MIRACLE OF THE TRANSISTOR!" <http://home.goodmedia.com/~zerobeat>

Has any been using the latest Mac 8 coreLeopard with Logic and PT HD? JS

HI - hope someone can help me out here - i have had Logic working great with DTDM and DAE running for year on my G5 dual 2.7 and a PT accel 2 through a 192 interface and then, suddenly it's all started to unhinge itself, culminating in the loss of a day's work (both embarrassing and leading to a loss of time) and now the program won't even boot at all. It all started as soon as i updated to Logic pro 8 (BIG BIG mistake it seems to me) where i then had to update the protools from 7.1 to 7.4 (another 150 quid, thanks digidesign) to get the core audio working, and then after a couple of crash free weeks the beach ball of death started creeping in when i pressed either the play or the record buttons. Usually a swift reboot would do the trick, but then the whole system froze which has not happened for literally years as tiger is usually so stable! Then, the project i was working on would't stay open for any length of time, but other projects did, but gradually nothing at all would work at all. Tried utilities, fixing disk from dvd (minor problem detected) repairing permissions and having a cleanup with onyx, but nothing, nada niet. On booting, it always hangs at the "starting loop browser" - wtf? i don't even know what it is!! I'm currently reinstalling logic 8 to see if that helps, but can anyone help me with this please??? what's the score with compatibility here? Best OS? (i'm not going to leopard as i hear it's even worse!) Best DIgi drivers? ( i'm on pT7.4) best version of logic? I'm on 8.01 cheers, Russ Pay, the cd clinic

Russell- I had similiar issues, although not identical. The key was getting rid of all Rewire related software in the system library and home library. This finally allowed my L8 to boot up. A drag, but hopefully a fix is the way. -Evan Benjamin On Mar 5, 2008, at 7:57 AM, russell Pay wrote: > Message posted by russell Pay <russpay@btinternet.com>: > > HI - hope someone can help me out here - i have had Logic working > great > with DTDM and DAE running for year on my G5 dual 2.7 and a PT accel 2 > through a 192 interface and then, suddenly it's all started to unhinge > itself, culminating in the loss of a day's work (both embarrassing and > leading to a loss of time) and now the program won't even boot at all. > It all started as soon as i updated to Logic pro 8 (BIG BIG mistake > it seems > to me) where i then had to update the protools from 7.1 to 7.4 > (another 150 > quid, thanks digidesign) to get the core audio working, and then > after a > couple of crash free weeks the beach ball of death started creeping > in when > i pressed either the play or the record buttons. > Usually a swift reboot would do the trick, but then the whole > system froze > which has not happened for literally years as tiger is usually so > stable! > Then, the project i was working on would't stay open for any length > of time, > but other projects did, but gradually nothing at all would work at > all. > Tried utilities, fixing disk from dvd (minor problem detected) > repairing > permissions and having a cleanup with onyx, but nothing, nada niet. > On booting, it always hangs at the "starting loop browser" - wtf? i > don't > even know what it is!! > > I'm currently reinstalling logic 8 to see if that helps, but can > anyone help > me with this please??? what's the score with compatibility here? > Best OS? > (i'm not going to leopard as i hear it's even worse!)

Hey, I'm about to upgrade my keyboard to "Roland Juno G". I'm wondering if this keyboard will be compatible with Leopard system? Thanks. ------------------------------------

Help setting up Logic Pro 8 using M-Audio Fast Track Pro and Roland Juno G keyboard. a. Logic is recognizing M-Audio but when I record keyboard into logic, it shows that Logic is picking up the keys... but "NO SOUND". How do I listen to my keyboard tones on logic? (confused as hell) b. Whats the best way to connect my Roland Juno G to Logic Pro... I want to get Roland rythems into logic.... how? HELLLPPPPPP please. ------------------------------------

hello to all-I'm in need of some help.. Just started a new series,scored the first episode in LP8.All went well-so created a series template containing some recurring cues such as themes- intro extro etc.Created a new clean project by doing a save a copy as.Also created a Project template using the option in the file menu. But....now when I create a new project for -say epi 2- from either.the resulting project refers to the media(audio files) from the original project-NOT the newly created project.When I try to move the files from the audio bin menu to my new location,the files get copied,and after a save,the original audio gets referenced again.I get the same result regardless of whether I select "include assets" or not.Also.even though I select a record directory under settings/recording,the files get recorded in the original template project location.The options under settings/assets are all greyed out. I'm running a G5/10.4.x/LP8.01/HD3/Pt7.4.x. Don't know what else to try. thanks David Burns Bartmart Audio Inc ------------------------------------

I'm feeling ready to take the plunge into the unknown and would appreciate any help I can find here. I have an HD 2 system running PT 6.9 and Logic 7.1.1 that "works" (along with usual bugs) but would like to try to move to the latest and fastest Logic and PT that work together. I see posts here from people that have this combo working successfully, but I know it's a very sensitive combination of computer models, software versions and OS versions. I assume I should lose my g4 dual 1.25 - so that's the first question - which PCI computer (I have PCI cards) to use? -something fast that works with this combo. Then, which OS, which exact PT version and which Logic version? And lastly - where to get the PT upgrades (I have a license for PT7) If I can approach any of you directly off the forum I would LOVE that, especially if you have a solid Logic 8/TDM system with working ESB and DTDM. Thanks, as always Greg ------------------------------------

Hi Greg, I'm in a similar position so sorry, I can't help, but it would be GREAT if your correspondence was carried on within the forum, so the rest of us can learn too!

Hi Ian So far it has all been within the forum - there have only been a couple of replies including yours - I am still hopeful that anyone with a g5 with Logic 8/TDM system will speak up about their configuration that works. I'm starting to look at buying a dual 2.3 g and I'll try PT7 and Logic 8 together on that before losing/quitting use of my g4 system. Either way, I hope that's the right thing to do If it doesn't work right I'll either go to PT only or try the lightpipe/core audio combo.

Dear List I wish to do some editing in Logic 8 arrange window and need the behavior to be the same as using PT Shuffle mode I cannot work out the command in Logic Pro 8 (PT Shuffle mode) ??? Any ideas thanks in advance David ------------------------------------

David Bulog <d2ba@xtra.co.nz> wrote: >I wish to do some editing in Logic 8 arrange window and need the >behavior to be the same as using PT Shuffle mode PT's "Shuffle" mode is the same as Logic's "Shuffle L" Drag mode. PT doesn't have an equivalent to the "Shuffle R" Drag mode. But all you need to do is try one, and then try the other. It becomes obvious right away which one is which. Shuffle L means: do the shuffling as determined by changes to the Left. Shuffle R means: do the shuffling as determined by changes to the Right. f-erenc szabo, smarty pants Z+E+R+O+B+E+A+T "NOW POWERED BY THE MIRACLE OF THE TRANSISTOR!" <http://home.goodmedia.com/~zerobeat> ------------------------------------

- I have logic 8 latest version running tdm/dtdm with Protools software 7.3 cs 2 just fine..in fact never better. The graphics are slower than on Logic 7 with tdm/dtdm. In fact I have it in two studios one on a dual 2.5 G5 and another one on a dual 2.7 G5...make sure you have plenty of memory :-) I have 4 but could use more...I run BFD and Vienna strings and that kinda stuff...works a hell of a lot better than trying to do the same in Protools. best Peter ------------------------------------

Peter, this is awesome - thanks for the response A few questions to zoom in: 1.What exact OS are you running? 2. Is it the same OS on both systems? 3. Are the graphics slower because of the memory? 4. I've been hearing I should avoid the 2.5 and 2.7 in favor of the 2 or the 2.3 because of leaks - comments? (obviously yours are fine) 5. Can you open older songs from 7 now?

as of today logic 8 and tdm is full of bugs, there are all the old logic 7 bugs plus some very annoying new entries. I do not know the situation with mac intels, but with PPC you should get the latest released g5, like dual 2.7 or quad and stay with logic 7.2.3, i'm using PT 7.1, this is the best combination of stability and bugs for use Logic DTDM in osx. THE BEST VERSION ANYWAY IS STILL THE LOGIC 6 PRO IN OS9 !!!!! Consider that going to PT7 you will loose all HTDM plug-ins, in PT7 they have been substituted by RTAS2, so in other words you can't use them in Logic anymore (assuming you have any of that). Wish they fix tdm issues with next logic release. If you want to use Logic 8 be prepared as probably solo doesn't works as expected and there are some problems with stereo splitted files, add to it all the old logic 7 bugs that are still alive and you will have one of the crapppiest combinations ;) Logic 7.1.1 i remember clearly that was really unstable, LOT of crashes, expecially when you use extensively DTDM, logic 7.2 has solved most of that crashes, i mean now instead of crash it reloads DTDM (like when you open the song), that is much better than crash!!! Actually i'm using logic 8.0.1 but i've switched my workflow, i've turned off DTDM and i'm using core audio with a big ADAT rig to go into TDM, go back some threads if you want more infos. I still use Logic 7.2.3 when i want to work extensively in TDM. hope this helps bye!!! My CFG G5 dual 2.5 PPC agp/pcix PT Accel HD2 Logic 7.2.3 for TDM + ESB Logic 8.0.1 for TDM + Core audio(motu 2408) Pro Tools 7.1cs10 OSX 10.4.9 Digidesign 96 Digidesign 96i Digidesign ADAT Bridge I/O Digidesign 1622 (unconnected right now, i need adats)

I use a key command to move all regions consecutively without blank spaces, it's not exactly like shuffle but is what i need usually, i do not need a real Shuffle mode. The key command is "Tie Regions by Position Change" bye!!

Thanks Tiger Isn't it interesting - 2 opposing posts in one day - one person has 2 working systems and one has a system with serious bugs and ongoing frustration. I would love to figure out what makes the difference...maybe PCI vs. PCIx, or the model of G5, or more likely, the combination of software versions (PT/LOGIC and OS). So many many of us have abandoned the DTDM/ESB thing that the few of us that stay with it must now hold the key to the timeless secrets of life. OK, I've been mixing too long tonight, Thanks for the responses - please keep 'em coming Greg PS - anyone know if my PCI cards (HD2) will work in anything beyond a G5 Dual 2GHz?

I totally agree with Tiger on this.Logic 7.2.3 on PT 7.3.x on my G5 is a rig I can work with.Logic 8.0.1 on the same rig,well,just plain feels like a giant workflow step back.I especially hate clicking out of a folder brings you back to the seq start,rather than the window keeping the song pointer in view as in 7.Lots of great new features in 8,but hate not being able to really define my window layout like before. sounds different too,which I confess I like better,but for serious scoring,I may have to move on.I don't usually write songs,so maybe the songwriters here like the new version better. Really hate the media management bug/hiccup.Workflow killer.Hate not being able to select multiple regions in the arrange/edit list and move them by double clicking on the first one and entering a time.Used to use this all the time to import omf's.Easy way to grab and move all regions in one go-assuming you know the start time of the first region.Gone now.No more import markers from a midi file created in Pro tools.Usefull for meetings with the director or to grab markers created by another user-say sfx editor.The automatic track management option does not respond to the off setting if the song opened with it on.Really hate the way midi tracks look now with the notes being replaced by note lines,which don't show up unless you zoom in to a ridiculously detailed zoom.Display bugs there too.Hate not being able to have the option of double clicking a sequence opens the piano roll as a seperate window as before. Overall,logic 7 worked for me,bugs et all.Logic 8 has let me down in a big way.Lost a show episode because the session got corrupt.(just closed it after a save,opened another session,and boom,it was forever after bad)Had to re create it by turing off the audio drivers and manually copy/pasting signature/tempos,midi and audio one group at a time into a virgin project to be able to recover.This is a fix I've used in the past,but it really makes me wonder about this new version......Sorry for the rant,but no one at Apple seems to want to pay attention.I'm slow to move,,but DP becons move everyday now.Workflow and setup and stability matter more to me than anything else. My humble two cents David Burns ps-I've got a Mac pro 8 core at home I'm futzing with,and it seems less sluggish,but I've lost confidence enough with LP8 that it won't get close to work that matters to me at the moment.I'm also not clear on the compatibility between Intel sessions and PPC sessions.... --- In logic-tdm@yahoogroups.com, Greg Critchley <greg@...> wrote: > > Thanks Tiger > > Isn't it interesting - 2 opposing posts in one day - one person has 2 > working systems and one has a system with serious bugs and ongoing > frustration. > > I would love to figure out what makes the difference...maybe PCI vs. > PCIx, or the model of G5, or more likely, the combination of software > versions (PT/LOGIC and OS).

Hi, We've held off the upgrade from Logic 7.2 to 8 for a while in order to give Logic 8 the time to "settle in". However, it now seems that we need to move up to Logic 8 and so we really want to get some assurance that it will not create any big problems with our studio set up. We're currently running: PPC G5 Logic 7.2 Pro Tools 7.2 HD 192 We also have an Intel MacPro which runs Digital Performer - we use this to host virtual instruments such as Vienna and MOTU MachFive. The MIDI information is sent from a MIDI track in Logic over to the MacPro using MIDI Over LAN and the audio from DP is then routed back through the 192 to Logic. What we are planning to do is upgrade to Pro Tools 7.4 and then install Logic 8. I'd just like to hear some peoples experience of running a similar setup, we wouldn't want to install it and then realise there was a big problem slowing our work up. One of the main things we want to know, and which I haven't been able to find out about for definite, is the functionality of the ESB - so we can run TDM plug ins etc. Does this ESB still provide up to 8 outputs? Thanks Jack

Hi Jack: I am running a MAC PRO with PROTOOLS 7.4 and LOGIC 8. I have prtty good functionality with ESB in LOGIC with 8 outs. However, I only do my midi programming in LOGIC and burn everything into audio for mixing in PROTOOLS. I haven't had any issues with ESB but I don't usually do full mixdowns in LOGIC because I never found it as stable as PROTOOLS and for recalls. Hope this helps KEITH ************** Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.

Hello, I need some help with exporting (bouncing) to a 1-2 channel file from Logic pro 8. I went to "bouncing" and then selected "PCM" / Aiff/16bit/44.1 interlaced Mode offline and normalize on. The file starts to render and when it's done I get this message: "the audio file "1-2.temp" has a 32 bit format and can't be used. I've tried pcm/mp3 and AAC setting and keep getting the same message. I don't end up with a saved file after i get this message. I checked my "bin" and all my files say 12 and 24 bit. I don't seem to have a 32 bit file that this message is referring to. ALL I WANT TO DO IS SAVE ALL MY TRACKS TO A FINAL MIXDOWN (L+R). THANKS SO MUCH ------------------------------------
