idolamore Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I am currently using a Digidesign 003 with Logic 8, but I am thinking of installing Logic 9. Before I do so, I need to know definitively that the latest Dididesign Core Audio drivers will work with Logic 9. I have Pro Tools 8.0.5, so I think this includes the latest drivers. Can anyone confirm that this set-up works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Digi drivers are the worst. They're meant for PT only. Logic can work but it's very flaky. You can do a search here (don't use Chrome, otherwise you won't see the search) or go to the Avid site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Digi drivers are the worst. +1. In theory there's no reason you shouldn't be able to use the Digi Core Audio drivers with Logic 9, and a few rare people do so successfully, but there's a HUUUUGE history of issues and instability with those drivers. I would strongly consider more robust choices such as MOTU, Presonus, RME, Metric Halo, Apogee etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idolamore Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thanks for your replies. I have installed Logic 9 and it seems to be working ok at the moment (touch wood). I am intending to buy an Apogee Ensemble to replace the 003 at some point, but it's a big expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 What about something in between, like a Motu Ultralite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choucri Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I have used the 003 with Logic9 for a while without problems. i upgraded to Metric Halo ULN-8 though. superior in every way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idolamore Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Slightly off-track, but still concerning Logic and 003 working together. I am having problems with my midi keyboard not being recognised in Logic. I can see the MIDI IN light flashing on the 003 when I press a key, but the message isn't transferred into Logic. The only way round this problem that I can find is to close Logic completely and open up Pro Tools, then quit and reopen Logic and then it works. This is effective, but time-consuming and although it was happening with Logic 8, it seems to be happening more frequently in Logic 9, so I am having to routinely open and quit Pro Tools first before Logic. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 That's why we repeatedly say that Digi drivers are the worst and they're not really meant for anything but ProTools. If you really want to use Logic, get another interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
