  1. I looked at their website and some of the YouTube videos. The ones showing two way communication with Cubase mention a script. I’d contact MP and ask them about whether or not they will be adding a script for Logic.
  2. I don’t mind being his tech support. He always pays me after a session, more than he paid me when I was the bassist in his band 😆
  3. Hmm, I didn’t think of that. I’ll try that when I see him again on Friday. Thanks, David! It’s not my choice to mix through the Tascam, that’s what my friend wants to learn how to do. I think it’s because after decades of gigging he understands using an analog mixer. He’s interested in using it to record gigs to the SD card, too.
  4. I’m back helping a friend do some recording in Logic. His Mac is using 10.8.1 running on Sonoma. His audio interface is a Tascam Model 16 mixer which acts as a 14 in /16 out USB interface. After tracking he wants to mix on the Tascam, using Logic like a tape deck. His current project has only 7 audio tracks, using tracks 1-7 in Logic. When we go to assign the output for each track, we wanted to choose mono outputs 1-7. When selecting Output-Mono we see outputs 3-14 available, but instead of Output 1 and 2 we see “part of stereo out” listed twice at the top of the pulldown list (sorry, no screenshot). We tried using those for tracks 1 and 2 but no audio made it to the Tascam. We reassigned tracks 1 and 2 to outputs 8 and 9 and then audio got through. I’m assuming that since outputs 1 and 2 are not in the pulldown by name, that is why we were not seeing audio into the Tascam’s first two channels. At home, I use a MOTU M2 interface, 4 ins and 2 outs. My own Mac is at 10.7.9 and running on Monterey. When assigning outputs I can choose output 1 and 2 just fine or route any track to stereo out. I do not see “part of stereo out” in the pulldown for mono outputs. Back on my friend’s Mac what settings should we be looking at in Logic that would cause Outputs 1 and 2 to not be listed in the pulldown?
  5. I had the same experience with the Magic Mouse. I finally switched to a Logitech M100 corded 2-button mouse with a detented scroll wheel I got at Staples for $10. No more cursor floating around screwing up waveform cut and paste. I’ve long wondered if it’s a flaw in the Magic Mouse…it didn't act like that when it was brand new.
  6. Not all powered hubs can maintain maximum wattage (4.5W for USB3, 2.5W for USB2) on all ports. It depends on the particular hub and it’s power supply.
  7. The motorized fader requires a fair amount of power. On Nektar’s P-series keyboards (designed in the USB 2 era) they are two USB-B ports, one is there just to power the fader. In the manual it states: "If the thunderbolt power icon is gray, it means Panorama CS12 is received USB low power rather than high power. To resolve, try connecting to a USB hub or USB C port. Panorama CS12 is receiving USB high power when the icon is green." If you open up About This Mac you can see exactly how much power is available on each port and how much each connected device requires.
  8. Use direct monitoring on the 2i2 and you'll have no latency. To use this, you must mute the output of the track you are recording to or you will hear echoes. You will not hear the effect of anything in the channel strip such as AMP Designer, EQ and other FX. As far as the drums are these actual drums being recorded with mikes or are you using software drums? What Mac and what Mac OS are you using?
  9. Look in Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST and VST3 to find any Steinberg plugins that are not part of Cubase. Both Nektarine and Komplete Kontrol are free downloads.
  10. By default Logic merges all incoming MIDI on all tracks to channel 1. Have you tried setting your track to unique MIDI channels? Arturia MIDI Control Center allows setting the channel independently for each encoder.
  11. Yes, this is possible. Logic can create a tempo map that follows the piano track. This is the opposite of using FlexTime to synchronize the audio to an existing tempo. It’s called Beat Mapping. The MIDI parts follow the tempo map without requiring anything else to be done. There are threads about this here, use the search function. Also read the section on Beat Mapping in the Logic Pro User Guide.
  12. Zack, definitely get the one with the extra GPUs because you get two more USB-C ports. With at least a USB or Tbolt audio interface, a USB-MIDI keyboard and an external drive, you’ll be able to avoid getting into hubs and docks.
  13. There are CPU (per thread) and Disc performance meters but not RAM (someone correct me if I’m wrong about that). You can monitor memory usage in the Activity Monitor. That project hovers around 320MB, including bouncing the mix.
  14. Zack, It’s a common question around here, do a search and you’ll find posts similar to yours. I’d go with 16GB of RAM. I’m not convinced you need more for Logic. 8GB is pretty tight these days and the $200 additional cost is worth it for some level of future-proofing. I was using 16GB in a MB Pro back in 2010 and 32GB in an iMac in 2011, but those were the days where you could still install your own RAM and hard drives to save money.
  15. Silly me, I was confusing Keystation with Arturia’s Keylab. Good luck with M-Audio support. I assume you have tried both of these? I did a quick google search and found a few posts on other sites about Keystation MK3 not passing MIDI properly. No mention in the posts about Mac or Windows, but it was on multiple DAWs, both Reason and FL Studio were mentioned. No solutions were provided, though 😟 Good luck!
