3000worlds Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Im running logic pro with a MOTU 828 mk3 and a manley variable mu. How can I route the stereo out of logic, through the compressor and back into logic? Ideally Id like to be able to run each track, or the full track, through the comp, and rec the output into the same project, similar to a delay or reverb. I know there are some routing issues with the mk3 and logic, but i dont seem to be getting a signal out. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Use the I/O plug-in. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also found this thread very helpful viewtopic.php?f=1&t=79574&p=412444&hilit=outboard+compressor#p412444 Is there any difference between sending all the channels to a bus or an aux bus?

Jordi Torres Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Thanks for your help. You're welcome. I also found this thread very helpfulviewtopic.php?f=1&t=79574&p=412444&hilit=outboard+compressor#p412444 Is there any difference between sending all the channels to a bus or an aux bus? Sending to a bus as opposed to setting the outputs to a bus? Yes. If you use sends you'll be creating copies of the signals. This would be useful if what you want to do is parallel processing. But it doesn't sound like that's want you want, right? J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3000worlds Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Yes, thats right, I dont want to parallel process. I set the I/O as you said and its working beautifully. This compressor has a wonderful sound. What I meant was, in the environment window you can create new bus channel or new aux channel. Is there any difference between these? I use an outboard delay on a kind of send-return, send to bu 8, bus 8=output 8, then back in to the arrange window audio channel input=8, so when I arm the track I can record the signal from the delay. I was thinking of a similar system with the compressor but I have the feeling the aux channels hold more secrets than Im aware! cheers Huw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3000worlds Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 sorry, one more question. When I put the I/O plug on the aux channel, the ping function isnt there. Im getting some serious latency if I send, say, only the bass to the comp. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordi Torres Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 3000worlds, please add you Logic version and system info to your signature here. And please be specific about the version of Logic 9 you're using. Thanks, J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivermetimbers Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Also, It would help to describe other things like the size of the project. Are you trying to process a track while 31 other tracks are playing? Do you have the Stereo output loaded up with plugins? There may be a difference when compared to experimenting with only a one track project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3000worlds Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Its not a huge project, just a trial run to test the manley. It only has a drum track, bass, guitar, and piano, plus some plugins. 2 aux channels, one stereo and one mono. 2 instances of the I/O utility on the aux channels. Neither show the ping function. It was there when I first opened the utility, but it suddenly disappeared. I will try it on a new project with only one channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3000worlds Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 It was a version problem. When I updated Logic to 9.1.7, it was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
