Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Apple has updated Logic Pro to v8.0.1, a maintenance release that addresses 
isolated reliability and stability issues, along with minor corrections to the 
following areas of the application:


     •     Right mouse button preferences.
     •     Audio configuration.
     •     Giant Bar and Giant SMPTE Display windows.
     •     SMPTE view offset.
     •     Marker text input.
     •     Beat mapping.
     •     Project management.
     •     Channel strip Level fader display.
     •     Key commands.
More details in this PDF.
The Logic update also includes Waveburner v1.5.1 and Impulse Response Utility 
v1.0.1. If you are using Logic Node you will need to update your Logic Node 
application on connected computers as well.
MainStage v1.0.2 improves overall stability and addresses specific customer 
and general performance issues.

Happy New Year all!

I am wondering if these new updates might have something to do with  
my problems in syncing my ADATs to Logic using a MOTU 828 and BRC.   
Here's how I have them set up"

I connect my Alesis BRC (SMPTE set at 29.97 fps), set to generate  
MTC, run a MIDI cable out of the BRC to the emagic amt/8 MIDI input.   
The 9pin sync cable goes out of the BRC to the ADAT.

Light pipe out of the ADAT to the light pipe in of my MOTU 828.

LOGIC 8: on the sync page, I set Logic to SMPTE sync/MTC, set it to  
Auto enable eternal sync and I press the sync putton on the command bar.

Here�s what I see: Audio shows up in Logic and it is sensing timecode  
but it doesn�t catch.  The timecode bar shows movement but it just  
sits there, not moving.  At one point I did something and it �caught�  
and started moving for a few bars but then I interrupted it to get it  
going at the right spot and it has never moved since.  It might have  
something to so with setting SMPTE offset but I dont� know.

Any suggestions?

Regards,



t

I solved my problem and it works like a charm.  The issue was setting the
correct start time  in Logic's sync settings.

Logic's default start time is 1 hour, so if you are sending MTC starting
from zero then you need to set your sync settings, thus: 

File > Song Settings > Synchronization 
set 'Bar Position' to "1 1 1 1", 
set 'Plays at SMPTE' to "0 : 0 : 0 : 0" 

I hope that helps someone else who has to sync up Logic with ADATs.  If you
do as I have outlined below and use the correct start time, it works
incredibly well.
