Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I just installed Logic Express on my ibook and I can't don't hear
anything when I try to play the tutorial song.  Any suggestions?

audio >> audio hardware & drivers

Then choose your sound device.

There is a little

The strange thing is that it's only the tracks recorded through the
midi or keyboard that I can't hear.  When I recorded vocal tracks
with the microphone, they 
played back fine.  Are there any other menus that specify what
outputs different tracks are
played back?

In the arrange window, on the left, the bottom box refers to the 
track information. Highlight the midi track you can't hear and then 
examine the info in the box i just mentioned. You'll see which device 
you're using, the program and the volume towards the top of the box. 
You could've just not assigned the soundcard to the track yet, or 
maybe the volume is down. Most likely, it's a no driver situation.

Zac,

There was a problem with the tutorial which might also have spilled over into the demo 
song but not sure.  Apple posted this"

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300095

Also, seemed like there were different demo songs and you should load the one that is the 
smaller one and try that.

Hope this helps.
Charlie

Charlie,

Thanks for the link, I think the new download helped.  I can hear now.

Also, I think I was trying to record to midi when I was really looking for the garage band 
instruments.

Thanks again for the help,
Zac
