Assuming by "lost" you mean Logic doesn't work in Vista, you're not running the 64 Bit version of Vista are you? Are all your drivers Vista compatible and can you run other audio software okay? What exactly happens when you try to launch Logic? If there's a 'Compatibility Wizard' in Vista like there is in XP (to run programs that were written specifically for an earlier version of Windows) you could try that. Logic on Windows only just made it into the XP era. I'd set up a dual boot configuration if I were you and stick XP and Logic back on - 'If it ain't broke etc.,' - then you'd still be able to run Vista. Make sure you have a partition (or another drive) visible to both operating systems so you can share files between them. ___ Ade

I like to mix to two tracks via bus and if I want to go back and do it again and compare to the mix that I already have, being able to monitor input is extremely valuable. If it says input, I want "input" and not "what's on the track unless I am recording" (not quoting you, just trying to be clearer). That should be a different function called auto-input. To get around this, should I just create a new track to record to and go back and forth to it and the original track to compare? Am I understanding this wrong?

Hi folks, Anyone managed to get an M-Audio Ozone working with L8 and an intel Mac? I've switched over from iBook G4 (where it worked perfectly) to Macbook Intel and my M-Audio Ozone interface is no longer recognised. I installed the driver that came with the unit and Logic could process audio but not MIDI. I tried to access the driver in system prefs and got the message 'does not work on Intel', so I went to the M-audio site and downloaded what was supposed to be the Intel Mac update. Upon first installation and restart it also recognises audio but not MIDI. Any subsequent reboot results in it not working at all. System prefs tells me the unit is not connected. I've reverted to the PPC driver for now so I can at least record audio. I contacted M-audio tech support the other day but don't expect to hear back from them any time soon. Any ideas?

thanks andrew i had a look and firewire is not set as an option.. i even added it and then removed it to be sure. i think the next step is to contact tech support for m-audio and see if they can suggest anything. thanks again.

hi,can anyone tell me how i can use my kaoss pad to effect my songs in logic,i can use the pad as the sound comes out of my mixer and through the speakers but i cant record it as i bounce my songs.i have a delta 4/10 soundcard and i think that maybe the kaoss pad needs to go through the soundcard before it goes through the mixer.any ideas? many thanks,vince

Is it possible to view Automation information as a List, such as with MIDI/Hyperdraw information? Thanks.

I'm a newbie, so please excuse lack of knowledge and direction. I have an Mbox and PT 7.3 and just switched to Logic Studio (i've had logic Express 7 Academic for a year or which I ran in parallel. So far I love the program, but system crashes and blows out my ears unless I restart Mbox. turn off screensaver, etc.. I'm guessing this is a Digi Core Audio issue, because I've experienced this before pre-Logic. Is there a fix for this, or do I need to dump everything Digi or go with Digi Core Audio stand alone?

I had the same problem for months and had given up hope unitl this morning. There are two firewire inputs behind the 410. I simply switched the cable to the left input and my computer immediately started recognizing the device and updating firmware. I hope this will help you.

Hello everyone, I finally got my computer to recognize M-Audio's 410. I have a couple questions: 1) I can no longer control the volume from my keyboard. It was nice leaving my amplifier at a relatively high level and adjusting volume with keyboard. Is this ability lost with the 410? 2) Is it normal for the blue LED light to blink when the 410 is off? Thanks.

I am having a very difficult time with recurrent crashes on my TDM setup. I have been using Logic 7 with DTDM with no problems. After upgrading to 8, I had a day of the same. Then I upgraded to 8.0.1. At that point, starting up the app gets a "quit unexpectedly" message right when the screen gets to the DTDM message. I can boot up without audio drivers just fine, and I can boot up with TDM on, just fine. Just not DTDM. And I can't use Core Audio right now, as I don't have an interface to send it back into PT. But Core Audio seems to crash the computer the same way, if I enable it. Here is what I have done: 1) I have confirmed the crash happens on a test account, in the same way. 2) I have checked the startup drive with Disk warrior. Only minor problems found. 3) Reinstalled 8.0.0 from DVD, after trashing all receipts. 4) Reinstalled DTDM driver separately. This got Logic to boot up with TDM and DTDM enabled...ONCE. I could not replicate this. On the next bootup I got "quit unexpectedly" again. 5) Trashed any preference I could think of with even a peripheral connection to the issue. But again, since the test account crashes as well, that rules out my account. I have called Apple support twice. They were really of no help. Does anyone have any thoughts? I have spent the entire day with this, and am really out of ideas. And one last thought...PT 7.4 boots up just fine and works just fine, so I assume I'm not having a hardware issue. My only possibility now is that I should downgrade my OS to 10.4.9, as I've seen anecdotal reports of this being the key. Thanks in advance for any and all thoughts.

I am having a midi interupt problem that crops up occansionally with windows XP, using dell 6000 inspiron. Seemingly for no reason in the middle of a song, the midi output will be interupted and all notes will hang over until reset. Have tried using different enviroments. It happens whether there is one song in memory or many songs in memory. Have used two different midi interfaces, emagic mt4, and also an edirol interface. If anyone out there has similar problems please contact me. Problem doesn't occur all the time, but is more of an inconvience; especially when using logic live. If someone could reach me regarding this message, please call me at your convenience, @ 484-620-1122, thank you for time in this matter.

Does anyone have any 'inside' information on when Waves will start supporting Leopard? I am still stuck with one machine with Leopard and Logic 8 which is unusable in our environment because of the heavy use of the Waves L3. Any insight would be appreciated. Dave Shirk Pamlico Sounds

That's the kind of information I hoped would come out. I wasn't able to find that information in the manual myself--searching for the wrong term, probably. I've gone ahead and made the change, but I encourage you to edit directly in the future. Anyone can edit those entries. Thanks for the information. Jason

Hi, Please help! I have Logic 6.4.3. I have a project I have setup. On one track, I have my synth (a JP6 europa) with patch change enabled. It changes patches just fine, but it has somehow started getting an unwanted patch change that is extremely annoying since it is an empty track I am trying to record. So I set Patch "8" with Logic stopped and in the -4 before the track starts. As soon as I start Logic, this track changed from patch "8" to patch "36", a completely different patch. I do not seem to be able to change this in the event list. I seem to recall there was a way to stop this, but I cannot remember how. Can someone please tell me how to resolve this extremely frustrating and creativity destroying problem before I run screaming into the night? I just wanna play patch 8 on my Europa and when I hit the start button, it plays patch 8, not patch 36. rachel -- Rachel Polanskis Kingswood, Greater Western Sydney, Australia grove@zeta.org.au http://www.zeta.org.au/~grove/grove.html The price of greatness is responsibility.

Spotted another little inconsistency: You have indicated "no" for "automatically create new bus at first use". In Logic 8, a new aux with the bus set as the input is automatically created when assigning a send to a bus for the first time. -------- Eli Krantzberg http://www.elikrantzberg.com http://www.nightshiftorchestra.com

Just got this from M-audio tech support : "At present we do not certify the use of Mac OS 10.5 with this product however please keep checking our www.m-audio.com website for updates on this situation" Ach well...... new audio MIDI i/f looks a neccessity now.

(this is a lot easier to *do* than to explain via a user group) Now when you send signal to that bus the Kaoss Pad will effect it and return the effected signal to Logic. I hope this was clear- if i was there I could do it in like 2 minutes... Much props on using your Kaoss pad in such a unique way : ) Happy New Year! Eddie Sullivan IMS Pro A/V

Isn't there anything in Logic 8 that can do the trick? L3 is great but Logic has so *many* great tools- the Multipressor is as good as anything I've heard elsewhere- I grab for Logic's effects as much as I grab for Waves...

How are you changing the program? If its from logic are you using the program selector in the parameters (on the left in the arrange.) Is the program check-box checked? If you are changing it on the Roland, then it sounds like the Logic parameter is overwriting it. There are a couple of song-based parameters in the preferences as well, determining when to send out program changes (i.e. at play/reset, etc.) These tie into the program check-box, (if its checked, logic assumes control.) Hope this helps, Mike
