Hi, I wonder if is possible to sync PT 6.2 sofware with Logic Pro 6.4.1 software in OSX? I wanna use midi and Audio Instr. in Logic and AUDIO in PT. Best Peter

I'm not sure if, as in OS9, you could use something as IAC bus to sync. I would try the following : 1 Disable the audio in LOGIC (Audio Hardware pref) 2 Launch Logic Then ProTools 3 Sync both Softwares to external Sync 4 Put SMPTE into Midi Hardware. The other way to try is to tell Logic to output MTC thru a MIDI Port and to set ProTools to be sync to that port?!? dont know? Keep me posted.

Hi, I posted before about our DV syn problem. Problem still hasn't gone, on request of our distributor I've described the problem again in English and they are going to contact Emagic again about it. In case anyone has a clue I thought I'd be a good idea to post this issue here also. If anyone experiences the same problems or (better) has found a solution please let me know. Here it goes: (to emagic tech support) Our setup consists of a Powermac G4/933 with 1 Gig RAM, a Pro Tools HD-2 set and Logic Pro We¹ve been struggling with the following problem for a while now: When using DV over Firewire as the output option for video playback in Logic, the user-adjustable playback delay compensation does not work properly. Our JVC HR-DVS1 DV recorder/player has a delay of about 4 frames. To adjust for this, we set the playback delay compensation for external video to ­4 frames (-16 quarterframes). Usually, nothing happens and the playback delay stays the same. If we enter a positive value (say 4) the playback delay increases (to about 8 frames in this example) so that seems to work. That also pointed us to the fact that we have to use a negative setting to compensate, whereas in Pro Tools 6.1 you have to use a positive setting to get a correction back in time. This works fine in Pro Tools so the problem seems to be Logic-specific. We experimented with Quicktime DV movies with and without a timecode track and with or without sound. That did not make a difference. We use 25 fps movies. With contigous sync enabled, the problem gets worse ­ the playback delay goes all over the place. The movie even plays back faster (about 10%). So we always disable contigous sync (it does turn itself on every now and then though, another strange bug?) When in Cylce Mode, video sync also gets worse. The first cycle it¹s usually 4 frames behind, the next it might be half a second off. And then the next one something else... All of these problems exist only with external video playback; onscreen video works OK though we haven¹t checked on-screen Cycle Mode video playback. To make it all a bit more complicated, last week the main problem seemed to have disappeared ­ the external Video To Song Adjust offset of ­4 in Logic Platinum 6.3.3 worked. Today in Logic Pro 6.4.1 the problem was back again. So we switched back to 6.3.3 ­ but no luck here, problem was still there. This problem is forcing us to do our mixes in Pro Tools. We¹d love to get back to using Logic for everything we need - but now that we¹re working in Pro Tools we discover some nice things that we can¹t do in Logic such as using RTAS plugins, reading out TDM plugin delay and using things like Altiverb in surround... But I¹m dwelling off-topic here, I¹ll save the Logic-TDM-improvement wishlist for later. Please fix the DV playback issue!

In OS10.3.2 (and OS10.3.3 now) Apple reintroduced the IAC bus, just go into your Audio MIDI Setup and you'll see it, you need to doubleclick on it to enable IAC ports but its very simple to do in fact. Cheers, Kevin
