Ahh.. interesting. Well you need to look into DiskCopy. /Applications/Utilities/ (Btw Disk Copy is also available on OS 9.) It allows you to create virtual disks of a size of your choosing. You can also do this via the command line in OS X See 'man hdiutil' Having created a virtual disk "R" you could have it mounted automatically by doing one of the following: - Open up System Preferences-->Login. Drag the dmg to this window. - Create a script that will (un)mount the diskimage for you. e.g., Say you've created the disk image and stored it at ~/Documents/Studio/DMGs/R.dmg Now create the following file if you haven't already: ~/Library/init/tcsh/aliases.mine #place the following in there alias mountR 'hdiutil mount ~/Documents/Studio/DMGs/R.dmg' -- Or for convenience create an AppleScript that prompts you to either eject ot mount the image: on run set my_dlg to (display dialog "Mount or Eject?" buttons {"Cancel", "Eject", "Mount"} default button 3) (* Note you can hit ESC for Cancel *) if button returned of my_dlg is equal to "Eject" then do shell script "eject R" else if button returned of my_dlg is equal to "Mount" then do shell script "hdiutil mount ~/Documents/Studio/DLGs/R.dmg" endif end run Now paste into the script editor and either place an alias of it in the Dock or make use of the Script Menu.... with regards, -- Lachlan Deck ldeck@...

Emapple are legally responsible for maintaining LAW until 2 yrs after they stop producing it - thus they have to define a cut-off date. The longer LAW is officially sold the later this 2 yr product support screws up valuable resources. Whilst I am a LAW user I can understand the strategy from a business view. I am curious as to whether one will still be able to buy the LAW V5 upgrade from distributors ... I'll check this a little later. Tony Perretta

Ever since I upgraded from Logic 5.1.3, and at the same time had to reinstall my system after a hard drive failure, I've been plagued with "overload" errors under even lightest load conditions - despite a high spec. machine. Further reinstalls, reverting to 5.1.3, newer drivers, older drivers, hardware settings, OS tweaks, correspondence with Sound Technology and Emagic, and more failed to make any difference. Then I remembered this message: --- In logic-users@y..., "Lasky" <llasky@i...> wrote: > I have the MotU ExpressXT.

Changing from "all ports" to "Micro: sync in - all out" (a port on my 4x6 MOTU Micro Express that apparrently send the incoming clock signal to its 6 MIDI outs) seems to have made these problems go away. What's more, testing system performance with one of the test songs from http://www.digitalnaturalsound.com/logic_dsp/index.shtml showns I can now run an additional 15 PlatinumVerbs (39 instead of 24). So even if you don't have a problem, changing from the default might be well worth doing! My best guess for the reason this happens on my system is that with it set to "all ports" MIDI clock also goes to the MIDI synth on my motherboard (which I never use anyway) and it just can't keep up. Thank you Lance Lasky. ;-) Regards, Robb

[Note from admin: as Mark asks, please email him privately at musicmail@... if you are interested, thanks!] hi gang, i'm looking for a studio in boston using lap (mac or windows, don't matter) to record some drums in. i'm using lawp5.3, but i don't have any means of recording my drummer (what with living in an apartment and all), so we need a studio for one day, we're willing to pay. we would like to record 5 songs worth of drums either using a live kit (which we have) or a roland v-kit (which we don't have), and then take the songs back to my place to finish the rest of the work on them. i would appreciate any responses i get. please mail me privately musicmail@... if you're interested. thanks alot. -mark http://www.catapulttheband.com http://www.markbates.com http://www.bigfrankrecords.com http://www.bigfrankproductions.com

I do not have any external devices, and the >sound card is built into the board. Why 5.01? This error often shows up when trying to run Logic on a cheap motherboard soundcard with piss poor drivers. Start by turning of any of the "auto" selections in the synchronization window/setup and/or try changing sample rates. 44.1 to 48 or vice-versa. I think cracked versions of the software my also give this or a similar message. (no accusations, just posting what I've heard) h howard

>Does Logic Audio support Audiosuite or RTAS plug-ins when using Pro Tools >HD hardware, or just TDM (like DPerf 3.1)? >Thanks. >--Gary Logic allows you to also use Audiosuite plugins as well as TDM. RTAS will not work on anything outside of Pro Tools. This is at least true of the Mix systems (and maybe you already knew that), I can't confirm it on HD, but see no reason to believe it would be any different. Maybe someone with an HD setup can set the record straight. Colin Miller

Hi All Does anyone have a working Roland D110 environement, the one on Len Sasso's site keeps crashing logic 5.3 when I try to load it, I'm actually trying to help a friend in Sodwana (South Africa) who has little access to anything down there,,he has Logic Silver 4.8,,,any ideas ????

If you do it by changing drivers with logic open the dialog box does not appear. I have had to go from ASIO to TDM/ESB a lot recently and the best way I could figure it out is to only activate DTDM, quit logic, open the Asio file (all the plugs stay) then activate DAE, reboot logic and route your stuff through ESB to TDM. logical? I don't know, but it works. teddybut

From: Ricc Terranova [mailto:riccterranova@...] > does anyone know about development of drivers for the > Audiowerk2 Cards? AW8 and AW2 are basically the same card, with just a different number of I/Os. The drivers were the same, therefore, we can assume that as soon as we'll have drivers for AW8, we will have drivers for AW2. Fernando Manuel Rodrigues

> Hi there, > Two VERY ingenious solutions. However (and forgive me if I'm wrong) I think it isn't necessary to have all this trouble in the Mac environment. Here's why: AFAIK - Mac (and for the little time I experienced OS X till now, remains) always address HDs in an absolute way - E.G. No matter how many HDs I have mounted, if I have an HD called SAMPLES, it will always be the same disk, and uniquely identified as that. Windows, on the other hand, always address drives by letter - if we change our HDs, or simply add a new one, suddenly, the OS no longer "knows" where our files/apps are (I know this by self experience). Therefore (again, didn't try this on a network but I presume is tha same) if you create a partition names SAMPLES in one of your Mac HDs and file all you samples there, and tell EXS that this will be your samples HD, no matter how many HDs are mounted, it should always recognize this as the right one. Please excuse me if I'm wrong, and correct me. Fernando

I urgently need to locate a up grade from 4.1 I know the answer is out there somewhere

Any chance >that you may be able to 'port' it at some time in the future? I can't imagine I ever said it was Windows compatible, since it isn't... If I did, then I messed up -- sorry. The spreadsheet, Magic Sheet, is obviously cross platform, since it's an Excel thing, but the application that sends the Excel data to Logic relies heavily on OMS and so can't be ported in any convenient way...

I set up a filter which sends all LAM messages to the trash. Maybe I'll do the same for the GEN. Question : Does anyone know how to enter midi data manually and SIMPLY ? That is one reason why I still use Notator for its ease of operation. Vance Lendich *** Doghouse Studio *** Brisbane

These are the channel and CC #. No they're not - in version 5 and up, they are the channel and Fader event number. The Fader event number won't be the same as the CC event number, though you can use either. There's no good way to identify the CC #s other than trial & error or looking in the manual. You can of course transform your incoming CC event to the appropriate Fader event, which requires a bit of environment faffing-around - see Hendrik's tutorial, or the Logic 5.2 update readme. Or just check out the Fadermapper demo as Jeremy "Matrin" suggested ;-) John "Pictarin"

Try refreshing the window (assign a keycommand to "redraw window" or click the little grey square in the top right corner of the window). Won't do you any good though - see my previous post.

There's been speculation that the key is to ensure there aren't any objects already assigned to use the driver you are switching to. If there are, you won't be asked to convert.

Another possibility which avoids the need for any custom OSX config: If the EXS instrument files are just text, use a decent text-editor like BBEdit - http:www.barebones.com - to do a big fat multi-file grep search & replace on the pathnames in all your instrument files all at once... ie find: R:blahblahyaddadoodoofilename and replace with: /Volumes/diskname/blahblah/yadda/doodoo/filename or whatever format the EXS needs for OSX. Refer to one of the bundled EXS instruments for details. And, er, work on a copy of the files, of course ;-) John Pitcairn ----------------------------------------------------------------- Got a controller? Wish there was a midi learn function in Logic?
