Hi, I had the same dream, and can share your excitement. Both David and Fuzzfilth gave you some excellent advice. I read a book on the subject, which answers a lot of your questions specifically. You might see if your local Library has it or if you can find a used copy: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/home-recording-studio-rod-gervais/1100355128 Good luck!

OK, So no one has responded to this thread lately, but I had a similar issue as the OP. After much digging, I fixed my problem and figured I'd post for anyone who's in the same boat. My latest iPhone update loaded a new Mobile Device Framework, that only supports 64 bit applications. Since my version of Logic is 32 bit, it crashed immediately. Here's the fix, that in full disclosure, I did not come up with but copied from the Apple Developers Forum. A developer named esaruoho saved the day with this post: But before you click on it, note that he made a minor mistake. His Step #3 should say csrutil disable. And Step #12 should say csrutil enable. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/131381?answerId=421900022#421900022 If you need a useable Mobile Device Framework, this dude was kind enough to upload one: https://f1.creativecow.net/13785/13785 And here's my corrected copy of the Instructions on how to pull this off: 1. Score a MobileDevice.framework - say a 2019 version or maybe a January-March 2020 one. Ask a friend. Check some other computer of yours. Preferably Mojave version. 2. Boot up with CMD-R down 3. Go to Utilities -> Terminal. Type csrutil disable 4. Boot back to macOS. 5. Move MobileDevice.framework from /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ to a folder of choice. 6. Place older MobileDevice.framework to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ 7. Go to Terminal and to folder /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Versions/A/ 8. Type file MobileDevice 9. Verify that it looks something like the following: $ file /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Versions/A/MobileDevice /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Versions/A/MobileDevice: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [i386:Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386] [x86_64] /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Versions/A/MobileDevice (for architecture i386): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386 /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Versions/A/MobileDevice (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64 10. Make sure your app works. Whichever app it is. For me, I ran Sample Manager and Renoise 3.1.1 32-bit version. Plugins loaded, apps worked. 11. Boot up with CMD-R down 12. Go to Utilities -> Terminal. Type csrutil enable 13. Restart. 14. Verify that apps still work. Beware, from now on, any iTunes Sync updates. Make yourself a macro that runs file MobileDevice in the /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Versions/A/ folder. Run it every once in a while. Retain the 32-bit MobileDevice.framework. Be prepared to put it back in again. Hope this helps, it worked for me. Took me all weekend long to find the solution, but my beloved Logic is up and running again. Good luck.

Any chance it's a 32 bit vs 64 bit issue? I'm having the same problem with Logic 9. Haven't found a solution yet, but digging around the internet, I found that the latest Mobile Device Framework update from Apple removed the 32 bit version. I updated my iPhone yesterday, and all of a sudden I can't open Logic. Crashes immediately on start up. .

Thank you, I haven't come across Project alternatives yet, didn't know they existed. I'm still running Logic Pro 9 (long story, has to do with my analog mixer.) Is the Project Alternative option a Logic 10 feature, or has it been around a while?

Ahhhhh, I see . Now that makes sense. And wouldn't take a lot of time. Thank you, David

Hi David, Thanks for that suggestion, it makes sense. The problem I see, however, is that after a 3 hour session, the file is HUGE. I've seen them anywhere from 12 Gb to 20 Gb depending on what settings I've used. So you'd have to have a drive with a lot of space, and time to copy a large Gb file several times. We usually get 20 to 30 songs in during a rehearsal. Just curious, would you really need to do this? Wouldn't the audio file be copied to the new file when you use Save As? If so, why the need to have a common Audio Files folder?

Update: So here's what I found out so far, for anyone who's interested. The Firewire is in fact two way. In Logic, I needed to select the Mackie Onyx as the output device. It defaulted to "built in output." That allowed the output from Logic to head out of the Firewire. On the Mixer, there is a Control Room input matrix, where you select Firewire as the source. I hooked up my headphone amplifier to the Control room out, and viola. Now I can monitor the vocals, and the Reverb sounds great. On each of the vocal tracks, I utilized a send to an aux channel. On the aux channel I added the Reverb and Delay. Which I was told will save CPU power and reduce the risk of latency in the headphone monitors. Thanks to those who posted, I appreciate the time.

Gave up and called Mackie Support. Great guys, BTW. Turns out I need to use one of the mixer's 16 channels to receive the signal from the Computer. That's where the conversion from digital back to analog will occur, and then I can rout the analog signal out via an aux send. So I guess that I either need to sacrifice a channel on the mixer to use Logic's reverb, or I can purchase an external reverb unit, and set up an effects loop.

Hey brother, my apologies. I didn't even notice the link. I'll give it a look, and see if I can pull my head out of my a$$,

Thanks, trip. Problem is, I don't know how to do that. I understand the concept. It the actual button pushing I don't get.

So it is safe to say, that the Firewire is two way, and I can somehow get the output back to the Mixer via Firewire? If so, I'll abandon the 3.5mm and turn my focus on how to configure the Firewire out..

Hi guys, I'm recording my band through a 16 Track Mackie Onyx 1640i Mixer, into Logic, via Firewire. In Logic, I have software monitoring selected. On the vocal channels, I have the Input Monitoring button selected. I'm trying to add some Reverb onto the vocal tracks, and then allow the singers to hear themselves in their headphones, with the added Reverb. I've read that this can be done, so that the singers hear the wet signal, but you are actually recording the dry signal. Problem is, I can't get the signal back to the headphones. Not only do I not understand the theory, but I have no idea if I have the hardware. How would the signal get from my MacBook running Logic, back to the singer's headphone? At first, I thought it would be via the Firewire. Then I tried running a 3.5mm to 1/4" cable from the Mac's output to the Mixing board's Aux return. Neither worked. I have the headphones connected to the Mixer's aux send, and have a headphone amp. Not sure if this is a Logic question, or a Mixer question, but was hoping someone could at least get me heading down the right path. Thanks in advance...

Very good, I will give that a try. Thanks a ton for your time.

No, that won't make the project self-contained. You have to do a Save As and include Audio Files. Thanks, I didn't realize that. What I'm doing now, is finding a song in the project, mixing the song, and then bouncing. Problem is, I usually need to change the mix settings for the next song, and the song after that. After listening to my bounces, If I need to go back in, I have no idea where my original settings were, because I'm changing them from song to song.

I have tried that. And it does work. Problem is, if I'm not careful, I wind up skewing a track, and then it is out of time with the other tracks. I'm thinking, and correct me if I'm wrong, that I could "Split by Playhead" where the song begins and ends, then select all 16 tracks. Next, I could open up a new empty project, and drag and drop all 16 selected tracks. The other option would be to stop practice after each song, and re-instantiate a new project. My thinking is that the latter is the correct way to do it, but was hoping to just set up Logic, and let it run. Between guitar changes, amp changes and effects set up, I have enough going on.
