Purchase Mixing With Your Mind by Michael Paul Stavrou. Read chapter 2 and the Ribbon Effect. Speakers should be away from walls, and resting on isolators like Auralex pads to isolate from your desk. Th base frequencies are being absorbed into your desk. Pros often mix at low volumes on mono s#!+ speakers. What's important is understanding how your monitors and room color the sound you are hearing so that you can compensate for holes in your stereo field. I own HR824s and I have learned to compensate in the mix for the base deficiencies for my particular room so that the bass translates well on a variety of speaker systems. You made a good purchase, IMO.

The wrappers are a kluge job. I stopped using atmosphere and trilogy. Now that the STEAM engine work is done, I expect a new version of these instruments in the near future. Hopefully not as late as September when Omnisynth is released. I won't buy another Spectronics product until they fix the products I already own.

Gave Logic 8 a perfect score of 10 out of 10

Anyone have them working with Logic 7.2.3. I'm hearing clicking when track with wrapper inserted is not selected i arrange. Spectrasonics says no complaints but me. My system is highly stable, so I think it has not been tested on Logic 7.x.x.

on logic 7...not working. thx

Spectrasonics just released interim solutions for Trilogy and Atmosphere. I'm having issues with Trilogy. Anyone try these "plug-in wrappers" with success? MacPro 3.0 Dual duo core Tiger latest version Logic 7.2.3

Anyone ever see a red forward slash appear across a solo button of an aux track or any other button in Logic. This is the first time I have seen it and I cannot make it go away. Essentially, the solo button is disabled, which I assume is the meaning of the red forward slash. I'm using the latest versions of Max OS and Logic on an Intel-Mac machine.

I use BFD 1.546 B8 with Mac Pro, xeon duo, 4 GB. I stream BFD from a separate internal drive. White noise problems are gone. On my previous PowerPC machine, I had constant white noise problems.

I opened the wallet and bought a MacPro 3.0 GHz, dual duo core, 4Gb, and an extra internal drive for streaming the beast...BFD. I use to have a G5 PPC 1.8 dual. All system overload problems are gone. I can use tons of high quality plugs all over the place, play them back while tracking without freezing a single track, and I'm only using about 1/3 of my total CPU power. HD hits don't even register on the meter. Observation: On my Mac Pro the CPU load is always spread over the 4 cores, not evenly...but all four cores are engaged to a degree. There is no single core maxing out. I'm think one of the problems with the PPC systems is that the cores were not properly threaded. It appears there is a margin of CPU power reserved for system functions. If you exceed the margin for a single core, even for an instant, the system overload kicks in before the second core kicks in. Since the threshold can be exceeded in an instant, it may not be picked up by the meters which are likely averaging, i.e., low pass filter. This may be why people are getting system overloads even when their meters show 50% power available in one core with the other core maxed out. Just a theory. Bottomline, its worth switching...although the 8 core would have been even better, and my 4 core is now $700 cheaper.

This may be a dumb question but... I'm planning on porting Logic 7.2 from my G5 PowerPC to a MacPro. I have version 7.2 which was created in a series of upgrades starting with Logic 6, i.e., Logic 6->7->7.1->7.2. Does installation on the Mac Pro have to follow the same upgrade path, i.e., starting with installation of my original Logic 6 disks, followed by each subsequent upgrade, or can I start with logic 7 and upgrade directly with 7.2, etc. That is does the logic 7 upgrade load a complete set of files and rely on the xkey to know that the install is an upgrade? Thanks in advance for your help.

This is how I do it. In Arrange window, select Track->Create Multiple-> select Audio objects-> chose X Audio objects you want to create and the type (mono v. stereo). The new audio tracks will be created in the Arrange window. Go to the Channel parameter side menu for each new Audio object and look in Aux submenu and you will see that new Aux objects 3 through X were automatically created in the Channel side menu under Aux. Simply reassign each new Audio Object to an Aux Object. Everything is done in Arrange w/o going into the Environment. Cheers

Hello, Sorry if this is a naive question but...how come there is no freeze track button for multichannel audio instrument tracks, e.g., a BFD ALL set-up with aux channels? I'm running BFD ALL with aux channels and it consumes close to 40% of my total CPU power by itself! My stereo audio instrument tracks (Trilogy, Atmosphere) including my processing plug-ins on those tracks can be frozen to reduce their CPU impact to almost zero. Am I missing something here? Is this a technical issue with Logic? With BFD? My workaround is to bounce my fully processed drum tracks in solo mode to a 24-bit audio file, then move the audio file to an empty audio track in Arrange. This process works but is a pain if I want to tweak the drums in a final mix with other instruments. Is there another workaround?
