  1. This might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3161
  2. Thanks guys for your feedback. I'll follow what you said and see if I can make more sense of it.
  3. If you're going to mix PT hardware with Logic I recommend only installing Digi approved versions of the OS. That's going to offer you the best chance of stability on your system. Their support section lists all the requirements for each hardware configuration. I've run PT 7.4 (002r) on 10.4.11 with LP8.0.2 without any problems. So in my experience the 7.4 core audio driver works ok with Logic 8.0.2 on 10.4.11. No experience with PT8.0 though.
  4. Ok, so now I've unhijacked my own thread - anybody on how Auto Input Monitoring works in Logic?
  5. Got it. Great, many thanks!
  6. Addni, could you say more about that? If I leave the fader at unity, record enable a track and move the fader to -4db, and then take the track out of record, the fader doesn't pop back to unity. It stays at -4db. How do you set 2 fader positions? My understanding is that when a track goes into record, the level at its input is determined by the source, say the gain on a preamp connected to the input. By lowering the fader I don't lower the level of the signal being recorded onto the track. That can only be done by lowering the gain of the signal going into the input. Instead, I just lower the monitoring level of the input signal. So if I switch to pre-fader metering and then lower the fader while record enabled, I won't see the level on the meters lower. However, out of pre-fader metering, the meters will lower as I lower the fader because they now reflect the monitoring level, not the recording level. Once I take a track out of record, then the fader is used to control monitoring of the level of the audio recorded on that track. I've read other people elsewhere talk about the two level settings. I'm confused! (And I think I hi-jacked my own thread!)
  7. Yeah I guess this was a question more for my understanding about Logic than the issue of hearing both the source input and the region at the same time. I can switch off I or R and just hear the region. I come from Pro Tools which has the same feature which I used often, and assumed in Logic it would do the same thing. I was hoping someone could explain to me what Auto Input Monitoring is, and how it works, within the context of Logic. I've read the manual and I'm still confused based on my experience. So either it works differently in Logic, and this is pilot error. Or perhaps it is some kind of bug with my setup.
  8. Whether I set auto input monitoring on or off, I seem to be getting the same behavior. When I put an audio track into record, I can hear the signal on the input. If I play a region on that track (while still record enabled) I hear the region contents, but at the same time I can still hear the signal on the input. My understanding was that when I hit play the input would be shut off until the transport stops again depending on whether I had audio input monitoring enabled or not. I'm running 8.0.2 on 10.4.11. I'm using a MBP, with the built in mic as signal source to the input of a mono audio track.
  9. Whenever I've used my 002r on the Digi supported versions of OS X and I've never had a problem with the driver. It's a PITA, I know, but if you get Digi hardware it is a very good idea to follow their support recommendations.
  10. CUPERTINO, California—December 16, 2008—Apple® today announced that this year is the last year the company will exhibit at Macworld Expo. Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, will deliver the opening keynote for this year’s Macworld Conference & Expo, and it will be Apple’s last keynote at the show. The keynote address will be held at Moscone West on Tuesday, January 6, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. Macworld will be held at San Francisco’s Moscone Center January 5-9, 2009. Apple is reaching more people in more ways than ever before, so like many companies, trade shows have become a very minor part of how Apple reaches its customers. The increasing popularity of Apple’s Retail Stores, which more than 3.5 million people visit every week, and the Apple.com website enable Apple to directly reach more than a hundred million customers around the world in innovative new ways. Apple has been steadily scaling back on trade shows in recent years, including NAB, Macworld New York, Macworld Tokyo and Apple Expo in Paris. Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Today, Apple continues to lead the industry in innovation with its award-winning computers, OS X operating system and iLife and professional applications. Apple is also spearheading the digital media revolution with its iPod portable music and video players and iTunes online store, and has entered the mobile phone market with its revolutionary iPhone. http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2008/12/16macworld.html
  11. Previous versions of Logic came with a USB dongle. To install the upgrade version of Logic 8 you will need to insert the dongle during the installation process. The installer will check the dongle is present and then install Logic 8. So to clarify, you don't need the previous version of Logic installed on your machine. And once the installer has verified the presence of the dongle during install, you won't need the dongle again to run the upgrade version of Logic 8. But, you will need to keep the dongle handy in case you need to install Logic 8 again.

  13. - more tracks for LE/M-Powered (now 48 mono or stereo) - new look, including paned midi editor - integrated score editor - more instruments, more effects http://digidesign.com/index.cfm?langid=100&navid=399&ref=pt8-hpf
  14. Hey, sorry to hear you are having problems. I am using a MOTU MTP. It was pretty clean really, just plugged it into the laptop and it appeared in the Audio/Midi Setup utility. Then in AMS I just configured the midi devices hanging off it. That's it. When SD starts it reads in the config and I just created the same devices in SD and assigned them to the correct port on the MTP. The only issue I get is when I start SD and the MTP is not connected. I have a few dialogs to wade through where SD is complaining it can't see the MIDI device. But that's it. You might try the good old preferences trash routine with SD. If that doesn't work, perhaps try creating a new config in AMS and the trying it again with SD.
