fader8 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 ..scanning all my waves plugins was the hardest part for me... You had to do it didn't you. You had to go and say the "W" word. I'll never forgive you. Sorry. I've never had such a hard time just being a customer with any other company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptbarnum Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 crap, forgot about that can of Worms in my distress. i hear you, but i use the latest bundles enough to keep em around. definitely a wacky company, they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptbarnum Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 did you lose interest because of the "W" word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 did you lose interest because of the "W" word? Ha! No, just finished the install, then it had to scan 308 plug-ins. Only 3 failed! woohoo! OK, I left my Logic Control and XT's turned off and started Logic 8. Opened Pefs-Control Surfaces-Setup. Then I turned them on one at a time and each one popped up in turn. Pretty much same as they always did. So, no problems here. I did have to manually add my Novation RemoteSL25 though. Which surface do you have?

ptbarnum Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Mackie Control Universal pro. something funny's going on with my install, really don't want to have to do a whole os restore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptbarnum Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 if it helps, the control surfaces (Mcu pro, tranzport) are sending midi notes to logic, not being seen as a control surface. Also they do show up as ports in:project settings>synchronization>MTC destination selection menu.. any ideas? anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guavadude Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Tranzport woke right up and needed no setup. My Yamaha DM1000 needed to be setup, but appears to be working much better than before. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptbarnum Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 What kind of weirdness could be causing this? my system is rock solid aside from this seemingly isolated situation. any ideas what could be blinding L8 to my controllers? they all work in Logic 7. I'm getting pretty frustrated here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 When you select Install from the menu, is the MCU in the list? If so, try manually adding it. Then set the ports for it manually too. Let us know if that worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STILL Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Yeh, I was just gonna start a thread on this exact subject....I have a Logic Control and I NEED that to work, I hate using the mouse etc..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptbarnum Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 That's the whole issue, no controllers show up when i select install, or scan all. nothing comes up, which is why i'm so confused. I started to think maybe it's a usb midi issue, but now i'm not sure after hearing that someone's tranzport is working. and by the way, thanks to everyone for taking the time out to help.

guavadude Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 for the DM1000 I had to go to the controller setup page and add manually, then setup the actual Yamaha ports since it's USB. Then add another channel strip only version for ch 9-16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptbarnum Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 but the yamaha showed up on the list as a controller right? i'm not sure what you mean by "add it manually" if not. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guavadude Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 menus...logic pro/prefs/control surfaces/setup then click NEW and INSTALL it pulls up a list and there is the Yamaha DM1000. You can also scan all models and it should find it. If not then you have to add it from the list manually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptbarnum Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Sorry, but your answer is the exac† problem i'm experiencing. When i click new>install, or scan all, there are no control surfaces on the list. it doesn't even seem like it scans anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Right, it wouldn't show or scan anything if the plugin bundle files aren't in the right folders. I think that's your problem. Let me look and see where 8 is storing that stuff. hang on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptbarnum Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 awesome! that's what i was hoping to hear. i felt like i might need to manually create a folder or somethin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 In the Finder, applications folder, control-click on the Logic Pro app and select Show contents. Look in the Contents folder. It should look like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicdude Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 so frustrating, just cant get logic 8 to see my logic control units, tried re install and nothing. even re checked the midi side of things, all work great in logic 7. HELP many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guavadude Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 you shouldn't have to move anything. I would recommend reinstalling, uncheck everything except the top box for the app. It will only take a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 If the MCU pro comes with a driver intall, it might also have installed a bundle file somewhere in the Application support folders. But you should at least see the models shown above listed in your Install dialog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptbarnum Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 There is no driver install for the mcu pro, and, oddly enought my contents folder matches yours. maybe i copy the plugins somewhere else? i've already tried deleting receipts and reinstalling btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Have you repaired permissions on your drive? When I installed L8 today, I did my standard routine I do with all Apples Pro apps. Repair permissions, install software, repair permissions, reinstall the latest Pro App Runtime, then repair permissions. Then launch the app. Maybe that's overkill, but it's been workin for me.

ptbarnum Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 I'm like you, i did everything you said except for the pro app support reinstall. ugh..i hate twilight zone problems like this. at least i've learned how reliant i've become on control surfaces.

fader8 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Sorry pt, that's as far as my little brain can take this. I hope the solution reveals itself. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptbarnum Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Fader8, i really appreciate it, i think i'm on the right track here. enjoy your new Logic! Right then, back to business, anyone else experiencing this or have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptbarnum Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 Good News! i downloaded and installed the driver for my Tranzport, and somehow, this caused logic to properly scan for control surfaces, all is working fine now. enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
