Only ever used it once and from I remember I had a hair pulling session before I could actually record with it so I dont think ill be much help sorry.
I use cubase now which seems a very easy program to setup

Oh ive been using logic for about 10 years..... but ive recently installed it on my laptop and am having a nightmare.
Basically audio is out of sync (to cut a long story short) and Ive tried all I can think of and am having no luck.None of the usual remedies are working.

Cubase is easy yes- I still use that on my atari STs!

I take it you've tried removing the drivers completely and reinstallng them?

Freak

yep. have reinstalled logic. This is all being done on a freshly wiped cleaned and reinstalled laptop too.

Can get it perfectly in sync when using the MME driver (this is XP) but if that driver is assigned to logic, then I cant open logic again once I have exited it, as the MME is used by windows.
Have to delete the logic preference file, and then it opens fine with no settings- but does exactly the same when its selected again.
Logic gets ****ty about having to share drivers... really pissing me off- as I have some tracks to get done pretty urgently.

Everything else works fine- but switch the click on when its playing audio or a soft synth and its all over the shop. Not just a latency issue as its drifting contstantly. Bizarrely, it plays audio back perfectly in time with itself- even when triggering softsynths/samplers played from the matrix- just not in time with the midi. Midi out through my interface works fine too- just the timing problems again. thats all thats wrong.

Just reading the bottom bit - sounds like your card isn't sync'ing properly. Have you tried setting it up under ASIO? (IIRC - bit rusty on PC Logic. Been on Mac for eternity!! )

Dan

well...got it working of sorts.

-150ms delay on all midi info (in sync menu) knocks it all in sync with the audio. But it takes about 6 to 8 bars to lock up- and before that its all over the shop its a workaround of sorts but its still ****e.


Have no ASIO drivers...... and not sure if i should have!? Not up to speed on all this.....and cubase is a piece of **** in comparison. I fecking hate all this carp. hence why I still use my (t)rusty ST's which never let me down
Just using the standard card in it for audio


Now i know why my old colleges and all the studios ive been in used MACS for them- because they bloody work!

In your defence, Logic was NEVER very good on the PC. After speaking to some chaps in Emagic Tech support, their day-to0day job was pretty much sorting out issues like this on the PC. Harldy had any callers regarding the Mac.
Hence their decision to drop the platform - cost too much in support.

Check out that logic forum, I use it a fair bit to help people out, as there's some REALLY nerdy people on it

Cubase wasnt much cop on the pc either.....didnt feel right.

got it all running now- installed some ASIO thingummyjob and its locked tight now. Had to disable the internal GS synth, but thats no great loss now is it.....

Cubase SX3 on PC.

Don't knock it till you've tried it.

ScoobyDoo555

I have. I laughed myself silly. went back to my Mac and Logic Pro7.

Sx3 is being used as a door wedge in my studio

Apple Mac snobs - worse than x5 owners. Always trying to justify themselves. lol

ScoobyDoo555

No justification required. Discography speaks for itself

As long as your happy with SX3, whatever floats your boat.
