We had a great OC Logic Pro User Group 2nd meeting Thursday night. Only
about 22 people showed up, but, that〓s to be expected during the summer
vacation/touring time. We also had 4 new people this month.
If you missed the June group meeting, here〓s what we covered:
I showed basic hook up to the MOTU (Mark of the Unicorn) 896HD, a FireWire
audio device, from scratch. From downloading the drivers, inspecting the
changes in the AMS (Audio Midi Set Up) to selecting the device driver in
Logic via the Main Menu>Audio>Audio Hardware and Drivers〓 Drivers Tab and
click holding on the driers field to select the new driver. I then demoed
how easy it was to hook up the Roland FA-66 FireWire audio interface;
basically plug and play and Logic recognized it no drivers to down load.
Next Tonee McGuire demonstrated the Stylus RMX and gave a hand out on how
to turn it into a multi-output device using the Aux〓s as returns for the
RMX. You had to be there for this one! If you want a copy of the hand out
I〓ll get an electronic file from Tonee and send a copy to any who need it.
RMX is way swingin〓
Finally, Darren Burgos continued on the Plug-In theme and showed us the
Vector Envelop of the ES2 from Logic〓s virtual synths. He did a way cool
trick to have the vector envelope pulse in time with any tempo changes. You
had to be there! Darren also gave us a hand out of a whole slew of plug-ins
available on the net, many of which are free. He then showed how to
add/change icons on Logic to customize our Arrange windows you can go to
http://www.logicprofiles.com for a bunch of free Icons. If you weren〓t at
the meeting don〓t try this yourself! You may end up having to re-install
Logic!
Here〓s Darrens list of AudioUnit Plug-Ins from the net:
Free AudioUnit plug-ins and synths:
1.BitViewer, MONSTAChorus, s(M)exoscope, Bouncy, daHornet, Chip32,
TickyClav, Cyanide2, SlimSlowSlider, CheeseMachine, C3MultbandCompressor,

Some of the plug-ins might have their own installer. If not, put the
〓.component〓 files into the following location:
Macintosh HD (or whatever you〓ve named
yours)/library/audio/plug-ins/components
Now when you insert a plug-in or synth in Logic it will be under the AU
category.
If you weren〓t there you missed some great stuff. And, we hope to see you at
next months meeting July 27th. Also, if you have any ideas/needs for
demonstrations please let us know and we〓ll do our best to accommodate
everyone.
Have a great 4th and see you July 27th.
John
