I'm trying to use Logic with Digidesign TDM hardware system and I can't seem to output an audio track to a single output channel. I only get an option of 'output 1&2' or 'output 3&4'. I can't just select a mono audio track to output to 'output 1'. I normally use an Apogee Symphony system in core audio mode and this isn't an issue. Is this a limitation of a TDM setup?

I have rendered a few songs with Reaper, but I'm having trouble with one aspect.

When I render any song, all VSTi's are incorporated in the final product, though any changes or modifications to those VSTi's sound are lost. Only the original sound is rendered.

Does anyone know what setting I need to check off or use to render with all changes to VSTi's in the final product?

hey guys, I am not a recording engineer, am familiar with making demos at home, but have always flirted with home recording vs studios.

I was watching a special about Sun Studios and how they had no eq, and that everything had to sound good when tracking. If you wanted to a different eq, change your amp settings/move the mic.

Let me just say, I'm not new to recording but I'm very new to Logic, and still slowly learning my way around the interface. I'm in the process of recording a song, it's got 2 guitar tracks and one bass track as of right now. I'm trying to use one of Logic's Built-In Instruments for the Bass Guitar track.

Does anyone have experience using 32 bit effects in Sonar 8.5 (64 bit version). Just wondering how compatible 3rd party plugs are with it.

I use two Kustom KPC12M stage monitors hooked into my Vestax VMC002Xlu mixer for my DJ rig and even though I have the master level turned all the way up there's still hardly any sound coming from them, on a scale from 1-10 for how much sound is produced, I'd have to say 3.

I downloaded a fully functional trial of Amplitude and can't get it to load up in Cubase. I go to the track insert and it's just not there. It works just fine in stand alone mode. I'm operating the 64 bit version of Cubase with Windows 7. I read somewhere that there were compatibility issues with plugins in 64 bit Cubase. Just wondering if that might be it?

I have been using Cubase SL3 for years now, and I haven't been having any issues. I did have one instamce of someone giving me a Cubase4 file I couldn't open, but he just gave me a wav and that was fine.

Anyways, anyone out there upgraded and think it's worth while? I can get the upgrade for $250 through Steinberg, so it's not too expensive.

Well... I finally got my new comp and downloaded the trial versions of Cubase and Sonar. So far, my familiarity with Cubase is making me lean in that direction. I do like the look of Sonar though. What I don't like is that I know version 8.5 has a lot more that 8.0 (which is the only demo version they offer).

Does anyone still use Logic Platinum 5.5? The reason I'm asking is because I was wanting to open some old projects but I don't know if it is compatible with Vista. I was using it on XP a while back and I have all the work backed up but I'm wondering if I would have to install XP on a drive and use the Vista machine to control it whilst I bounce all the necessary files.
