To all who sent me ideas on how to get White Noise -- Thank You! I actually used Blairs suggestion. I also found out how to drop a green apple loop into a track, go to matrix view, select all and then delet the notes from the loop, leaving only the sampled inst. to be played from controller keyboard. I'm setting up a blank song with inst. allready to use. Thanks for the help to a newbie who has climbed out of the black hole. Gary

I'm assuming you need to load different songs because you actually have to PLAY songs back. I don't have to run Logic. I merely use it as a rack of synths and live vocoder. As such I only have one song and I never have to hit play so the approach works for me. You have to have EXS virtual memory turned on. Once it is you can have many more instruments loaded whose total ram requirements far exceed that of your physical ram. It seems to work well. > What I'd like to have is the ability to load the samples into > EXS for the night and keep 'em there. Thus avoiding the delay while > the samples for each song load.

Hi all, Would anyone know what would be the best way to set up an RME Fireface 800 and external HD with the MBP. Namely, would a firewire hub make any difference in terms of performance, compared to a daisy chain. Also, is it a problem to daisy chain with FW400 port and FW800 port on the same chain? Thanks! Patrick

Does anybody know where I can get a list of error codes for pc logic 5.5.1. Having Some problems... keep thinking... appreciate

It has been happening for some time and I find that quitting and restarting Logic cures it till next time. Annoying bug! Paul

You take a noise signature from a part with just hum/noise and no musical content and then use the noise reduction over the whole track. Sorry I haven't seen this feature in Logic Audio. goodluck EC

I would recommend running the HD serially after the Fireface (FW on Mac->Fireface->FW HD). You don't mention which MBP you're talking about as the 17" has a FW800 port in addition to the FW400 one (which is all the 15" has). If its the 15" (FW400 only) then it is possible to run the Fireface on a 400 bus. If its the 17" bung the fireface on the 800 socket and the HD on the 400. If all this proves insufficient then its possible to buy more FW ports in the form of a 3/4PCIExpressCard. Hope this helps, Mike

James, Eddie, GPiccolini, Steve, Henry I'm extremely grateful for your feedback. I'm going to try and get an A5 Wide format tablet, which seems better suited to dual monitor work (in terms of axis ratio). I'll probably have to keep using a mouse as well for now, becuase I use it on multiple systems, and my KVM switcher is not USB. Either way, I have to do something. The RSI (assuming thats what it is) in my mouse clicking fingers is so bad today I can barely move them. That's what two 14-hour days of bulding patches and editing loops will do to you!! Thanks again to all. Jules

So, it may depend on how finicky your external HD is. You might need to experiment before you find out what works the best. Sometimes the order of the devices makes a really big difference. -- agreenbu @ nyx . net andrew michael greenburg

I usually close Logic, open SD, load what I need into my synths and then quit/log out/log in. If I need Logic open to test stuff (eg audition sounds against existing stuff) then I'm forced to risk the dreaded transpose bug for a while, then quit everything and start again. It's a huge pain in the butt - I *WISH* Apple would pick up SoundDiver and update it and fix all the bugs. Clearly they do not think there's enough of a market to make it worth their while. They could show some compassion for their 1000's of Logic users and consider time spent on SD to be good old-fashioned goodwill. As it is, SD is "frozen" with all its problems forever....

My problem is when i use external effects for audio tracks i want to compensate the latency of the external effect signal with the dry signal and the rest of the playback. If i record my external signal to a audio track (no autput bounce)it is fixed. So the problem is only the playback-latency of my external equipment relating of the dry signals and all the other tracks. For example: I send over a bus object a part of the signal from a audio track to my lexicon effekt. the effect signal that i hear now on the input has a latency. Is there a way to compensate that like logic 7 does it with plug-Ins latency?

can anyone confirm that latest versions of Amplitube and/or Guitar Rig will or won't run on intel G5 (without Rosetta)? thanks in advance!

Well that's not done with phase cancellation (because as mentioned, that is next to impossible). However what happens is that the frequency aspects of the noise are analyzed and a filter is based on that. > Sorry I haven't > seen this feature in Logic Audio. Try Sound Soap (commercial 3rd-party plugin). It does this and more. Maurits.

I am a long time tablet user and absolutely love it. I have constructed a series of small, self-contained control surfaces which have intergrated Wacom tablets for more comfortable, deskless use. These allow me to work very long, navigation-intensive sessions with zero muscle fatigue/carpal irritation. As for configuration, I find it essential to use "mouse mode" which does not follow absolute mapping. This allows for smaller muscle movements to more quickly traverse equivilent screen distances. The only downside I find to using tablets is that one most put down the pen for most non-navigation activities, such as playing the keyboard or knob/fader manipulation. It is possible to type with the pen in your fingers, but the ergonomic sensibilty of doing this for extended periods is questionable... Cheers, Alex Aliferis

MidiQuest just isnt quite up to par as a complete replacement for Sound Diver.. Unisyn only supports ONE of the synths I have. Im still hoping itll show up one day but it would seem Apple really really wants us all out buying dual cores to run their software synths instead now.. but sorry I like my Micro Q/Microwave/Virus/SH101/etc alot better than I like ES1/2/P/etc... -- Chris http://www.monotrematamusic.com http://www.myspace.com/monotremata http://www.descentrecords.com

That's what I do till I need to run another song.

It seems to work >well. Oooohhhh! I didn't know about this till just now. Seems I already had it checked but it seems to point to another issue I've been encountering. I hit play on a song and it goes a bar or two in and then stops. Get an error message something like "Not read from disk in time" or something like is mentioned on the virtual memory page of the EXS. I'm reluctant to mess with it now 'cause I have a job tomorrow and I have been using a work around that gets me through the gig. I'll check it out after I get past this weekend's work. Perhaps I'll find a solution to that problem. Man, there's a lot to these virtual instruments.

Maybe, but I don't own either and I haven't caught up from buying Logic 7 & my G4 laptop. New purchases are definitely not on the current agenda here. :-) Thanks for your help, Paul. -- Doug

Hi, Just got the MacBook. I have many plug-ins running, also Kore and the whole Ni bundle, but non shows up in my Plug-in list... they are all in my main library/audio/components folder, I did run the authoriser, but only the Micro-Tonic shows in my list... any clues? Renger

<Note from admin: please send all replies privately, thanks!> I just moved to Chicago and looking for an audio gig where Logic 7 is involved. I'm Logic 7 Apple Pro Certified, and work with the program more often than Pro Tools. Does anyone know of a studio, or anyone I can talk to that might be looking for help? Is there anyone from Chicago that has done work for clients using Logic? Your answers to my questions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Don't think a list of error codes for PC Logic has ever been published. However, I imagine the most common error codes are the same on both platforms so you might try explaining your difficulty.

Well as you can listen just the output of the filter in Sound Soap so you can fine tune it so that it only takes out noise and nothing else.
