如何运行的Logic Pro X中的32位插件

Rounik Sethi on Jul 22, 2013 in Logic Pro 94 comments

Logic Pro X is 64-bit through and through without an audio unit bridge. Some users are dependent on 32-bit plug-ins like Sylenth, so in this tutorial Rounik Sethi shows how to run them in Logic Pro X.  

所以，你有专业X逻辑？你爱的新功能，而宁愿使用比逻辑9？但是，你仍然有一些32位的合成器，像Sylenth的 ，它不能运行在苹果的64位旗舰DAW？

可以理解的是，你可能会感到失望......确定写作一直以来在墙上逻辑9.1（64位版本），若干年前被释放，但它不让它感觉更好一些开发商还没有准备好让他们的插件的64位。

所以，如果你依赖于您的音乐印章的文书，如Sylenth停止抽泣你的工作室在角落里！有多种解决方法，其中包括托管的32位插件逻辑以外的路由逻辑。

现在，这些解决方案会打你的钱包：VEPRO（重型）和Plogue Bidule（更合理的）的两个例子。然而，我想分享一个方法是免费的，相对容易设置使用苹果有些隐藏AU实验室主机。


AU实验室什么？

AU实验室是一个优秀的应用程序。它的设计作为一个免费的音频混合主机应用程序用于那些没有谁的Logic Pro或其他非盟主机托管音频单元插件（乐器和特效）。我提到它的自由吗？要按照本教程你会需要下载并安装AU实验室从苹果在这里：

http://www.apple.com/itunes/mastered-for-itunes/


安装完成后，你还需要安装Cycling74s Soundflower如果你还没有这样做的话。这将允许您在您的Mac应用程序之间的音频路由。还有其他的解决方案，这样做，但我将要使用本教程Soundflower。

这里下载Soundflower的：

http://cycling74.com/soundflower-landing-page/


注意：如果你安装Soundflower你会需要重新启动您的Mac，所以请一定要收藏此页，马上回来继续学习本教程！


第1步 - 设置AU实验室

启动AU实验室！你应该找到它驻留在您的应用程序/实用工具/文件夹（或使用Spotlight找到并启动它）。

一经推出ITLL可用的音频单元，扫描你的系统，你会看到下面的配置窗口。

The defauly configuration window in AU Lab.


在我们继续之前，让我们退后一步，想想我们的目标是在这里。理想情况下，我们希望非盟实验室来承载我们的32位插件（病态使用的房屋建筑商Lennar数字 32位Sylenth的演示）。然后，我们要创建在Logic Pro X中的相关轨道，这将使我们能够触发Sylenth发送MIDI音符数据...从AU实验室收到的音频输出逻辑（这样我们就可以听到正在播放）。

考虑到这一点，我要设置为“无”，并设置到Soundflower（双声道）音频输出输入的初始音轨AU实验室。

Make sure to set the output to Soundflower (2ch) and not built-in output or your audio interface's outputs.

确保设置输出到Soundflower（2声道），而不是内置的输出或音频接口的输出。


命中创建文件。


第2步 - 将一个32位的文书

音频通道已经建立，但我们不能主机乐器插件在那里，所以选择编辑

插件从乐器弹出菜单中选择您的首选。你知道，现在我要去直Sylenth1Demo的！

Choose the 32-bit instrument of your choice.

选择您选择的32位的文书。


您的插件将打开，如果你尝试用MIDI键盘触发，你应该看到的水平米通道条上移动。

然而，你应该听不到任何声音。这是因为我们通过Soundflower不具有目的地输出的音频输出设置。即其不出来你的内部的扬声器或音频接口。设定好逻辑，在接下来的几个步骤。

Sylenth in AU Lab.

Sylenth在AU实验室中。


第3步 - 外部MIDI设置的Logic Pro X中

启动的Logic Pro X的我创建了一个空项目，更重要的是创造了一个外部的MIDI音轨。那么使用此触发Sylenth。

Create an External MIDI track.

创建外部MIDI音轨。


打开库，并选择Sylenth1Demo

Set the correct MIDI output for the channel in the Library.

设定正确的MIDI输出通道在图书馆。


MIDI键盘上​​弹奏音符，现在应该触发在AU实验室Sylenth的！再次，没有健全的，只是还没有...处理好与未来。


第4步 - 音频参数设置

现在，我们需要告诉逻辑接收其从AU实验室的输出，这是我们设置到Soundflower（2CH）音频输入。所以，选择： 逻辑Pro X中

从“设备”选项卡，更改输入设备到Soundflower（2CH），并保持您的输出设备设置为您的音频接口。您还需要确保软件监测检查。

Set the Audio Input in Logic to Soundflower.

设定输入逻辑Soundflower。


点击“应用更改”，然后关闭“首选项”窗口。


第5步 - 然后有声音

成功的最后一步（请保存此作为一个模板，当你完成了！）创建一个对象逻辑从AU实验室收到的音频输出。我们可以创建一个辅助通道，但在这个例子中的ID希望创建一个音轨，这样我们就可以更容易地记录Sylenth的音频

选择“ 跟踪”

The Input Format button and Input slot can be found towards the top of the channel strip in the Mixer or the Inspector.

输入格式“按钮和输入插槽，可以发现在调音台通道条或检查朝上方。


点击输入音轨头监视“按钮，这样你就可以听到传入的音频信号从AU实验室，赛道上。

请确保您有外部MIDI音轨选择，如果你没有一个MIDI键盘连接时，弹出打开逻辑键盘使用Command-K或窗口

打了几个音符，你应该打在Logic Pro X中Sylenth！您可以录制MIDI轨道就像你当使用外部MIDI硬件...另外，你可以从AU实验室音轨选择轨道头，并创下记录输出！

Bliss! You're in Logic Pro X and you're now able to play your 32-bit synths, record the patterns as MIDI and record as audio.

极乐！你在Logic Pro X的，你现在能够发挥您的32位合成器，记录模式MIDI和音频纪录。


这是一个有用的解决方法，让你使用你最喜欢的前64位版本的合成器和效果。哦，记得保存您的设置在AU实验室和保存您的Logic Pro X项目作为模板。

有兴趣知道其他的的方式YOUVE发现在Logic Pro X中使用32位插件在下面的评论中告诉我们。

Excellent tip Rounik! Now don't have to feel so lost in Logic X without Sylenth.

Great tip - thanks Rounik.
Is there any way to get Sylenth to sync to the tempo of Logic using this method?

Thanks
J
Jul 22, 2013
Rounik
Thanks Jonathan!

Actually, I'm not really a Sylenth user (hence my use of the demo version in the tutorial!), so I didn't even think of it.

I'm not sure if it is possible to tempo sync using AU Lab ... hmmm, perhaps Mainstage or JBridge would work better for that.

:)

David
Man, this is a lot of work to get old tech to work with new tech...

I'm sure theres plenty of 64 bit plugins that are just as good (or better) than the old 32 bit plugins that the 3rd party developers seemed to have abandoned?

personally, i'd feel uncomfortable using any software where the last update on their website was in 2009 o.0

Thanks for posting this, but I hope that LPX will mostly get people to move forward :-)
Jul 22, 2013
Jonathan
OK - I didn't know you could do the same trick with MainStage...?
Thanks J

This is *identical* to the approach I posted about on Apple's Logic Pro discussion forums several days ago:

http://discussions.apple.com/thread/5176726

...except the author doesn't mention any of the downsides, not least AU Lab instability and overall latency.

As far as sync etc. goes - this treats your software plugin as an external MIDI instrument, totally independent of Logic as if it were sitting its own metal box in a rack somewhere.
Jul 22, 2013
Rounik
Hi David,

It seems like more work than it is... but I agree with your sentiment.

I personally prefer to work with as stable a setup as possible and therefore am sticking with 64-bit plugins mainly with Logic Pro X.

I really wrote this for the benefit of some friends who use Sylenth and are waiting for it to become 64-bit. I only see this method as a workaround - not an everyday solution for using multiple 32-bit plugins in LPX :)

I really hope most devs update their plugins soon to 64-bit so we can all move into the 64-bit future with no more baggage ;-)
Jul 22, 2013
Rounik
Hi Pond,

I've answered your post on the Apple Discussions forum too.

Once again, thanks for your observation. Great to know you cam up with the same solution. It's no surprise that 2 or more users can come up with this...

I've been using Soundflower and building complex Logic Environments for years - learning and teaching Logic... so that you came up with a similar/same solution would suggest that great minds think alike? ;-)

Thanks for posting your comment here :)
Jul 22, 2013
Pond
I just thought it was worth pointing out that there are stability and latency implications. Some AUs make AU Lab crash outright and Soundflower has been prone to hiccups/dropouts IME ever since Lion.

If only there was a decent Rewire-capable AU host at low/no price then that'd allow for deeper integration at lower latency.
Jul 22, 2013
Lung
Rounik, is there any benefit to using AU Lab as opposed to MainStage? I've been meaning to try MainStage 2 since it's already on my hard drive but just haven't gotten around to it yet. In any case, how's the latency if not negligible? I won't be using Soundflower but actually the front end mixer that comes with my audio interface to route audio by the way, for what its worth. So figures may be different.

Brilliant! It's plain to see that MPV is quickly on it's way to be THE place for those serious about music Production with Logic Pro.

Daniel Brourman
Could you show us how to automate Sylenth using this method? I want to upgrade to Logic Pro X but I use Sylenth a lot and I'm wondering if automating will be more difficult and slow my work flow down.

Jul 23, 2013
Rounik
Hi Lung,

The only benefit I can think of is that AU Lab is free and MainStage costs a very very reasonable amount! So, my tip here is designed to be completely free (as in free lunch!) but certainly Mainstage is an excellent way to go too. I also feel AU Lab is more streamlined and easier to setup for those that don't know about MS.

Yes, Soundflower can introduce some latency into the process. From my tests it's pretty minor, but for other "serious" players it could be a deal breaker. Routing through your interface should give better results!! Let us know :)

Lung
Thanks for the answers, Rounik!

Hi Daniel,

This is really a workaround - so it's not perfect or ideal for the long haul. It's also a free technique...

I'd suggest checking out JBridgeM (VST only host) which costs around $10 I believe. I haven't had time to try it but it could be possible to automate parameters there. Good luck and let us know if you have any success.

Thanks a lot for this well explained workaround.

What I don´t get yet is how to make use of my effects using this method? I´d be happy fpr hints. :)
Jul 23, 2013

To be more precise:

Is there a way to simply add 32-bit effects to my audio tracks?

hello it works fine! Is it now possible for me to get it play some of my logic pro 9 profects where i used slenth1 aswell! greetings from germany
Jul 23, 2013
Rounik
Thanks putte! To be honest I haven't properly tried using 32-bit audio fx in LPX. It's more complex really and I think would require a much more complex workaround.

Personally, I'd load up Logic Pro 9 or another 32-bit capable DAW and run them there.
Jul 23, 2013
Rounik
Hi Gabriel,

Glad it's working well for you.

Unfortunately, that won't work because Logic Pro X can't directly host 32-bit plug-ins and there's no way I know of for AU Lab to know the settings of Sylenth from a Logic 9 project.

If you're in any way heavily reliant on 32-bit plugins as used in a previous project I'd recommend still using Logic Pro 9 for those projects.

The good news is: I've heard on the grapevine that Sylenth 64-bit is being worked on as I type...

:)

I would like to suggest the VEPro method. It's very easy to use, syncs, and while it costs a few $$$ the included "Epic Orchestra" library is a pretty good basic sample library that can be used with awesome results.

That and the big plus that it takes the issue of Logic's CPU balancing (or lack of it) and lets you optimize your computers power.

This used to be a so so app a few years ago, but in the last year has become the best option out there for either using multiple computers for sample library use for composers or if you just wanna use any older computers or something like a Mac Mini as synths...

Excellent work Rounik..
Jul 24, 2013
Rounik
Hi George,

I agree. The VEPro method is preferable, more reliable and useful...

But most people seem to be looking for a free solution/workaround to tide them over. Definitely VEPro would be a good investment if the user is serious and able to open their wallet ;-)

Best,
Rounik

Hi Gabriel,

I agree 100%... and there's some good news from Lennar Digital released today:

http://www.lennardigital.com/modules/home/

From the Lennar Digital website:

"23 July 2013
Recently we receive a lot of questions about how to run Sylenth1 in 64bit hosts on OSX, such as the new Logic X and Ableton Live 9. We are still working on a 64bit version of Sylenth1 and we're hoping to get it done before the end of this year. Until then there are a few options to run Sylenth1 in these hosts. You can find an example walkthrough here (links to this page).

For Ableton Live it is recommended to use the 32bit version of Live to run Sylenth1. If you still need the 64bit version, you can use JBridge to run Sylenth1. "

Thank You very much for this tutorial, A Life Saver !!!

I have only been able to play one instance of Sylenth on my Logic Pro X, whenever I try a second track, it all goes OMNI, so I hear the same performance with the different channels,
Is there a way to have more than one Channel?
Jul 25, 2013
Juan Zambrano
EDIT:

I was able to play different instances of Sylenth on different tracks by changing de different instance's MIDI channels in the MIDI editors on each instance ( Upper right corner ) inside AU Lab's documents, but MIDI Channel 1 Can't be used, whenever I try to use MIDI Channel 1 it goes into OMNI mode,
Using MIDI Channel 2 and above I was able to play several instances of Sylenth on one document...
I don't think this is really the best way, but it seems to be working...
Jul 25, 2013

I understand some users have used Jbridge and maschine, can some give a walkthrough on how to do this? I have both and I'm struggling and poor Joao at Jbridge is being very helpful but we haven't got round it yet for my mac, just wanna make sure 'm doing it right

Leon
I tried this method and I can get sound coming through the Audio channel but not the MIDI. I have an old project which I converted to MIDI data and opened on Logic X and I need to add a 32 bit AU to it, any idea what I did wrong?
Jul 27, 2013
Rounik
Hi Jimi B, sure! Superior Drummer 2 is 64-bit compatible so it will appear in the Instrument drop-down menu on a Software Instrument Channel strip :)
Jul 27, 2013

Got it... Thanks Rounik, best of both worlds! SD & Drummer work well in LPX.

Thanks for the prompt response.

Hi Leon,

Try it in a new Logic Pro X project, maybe restart AU Lab too...

Hope it works for you.
Jul 27, 2013
Thanks for the run down on that
I have to use software like this for a living it's really bull&#@t that it doesn't run 32bit 3rd party plugs, the work around is so much of a pain in the ass that I'm really reluctant to move forward with this version. I've been with Logic since 8 and I'm beyond frustrated that this simple compatibility service hasn't been added to this version. I live in 3rd party plugs and I'm not interested in performance and latency issues or having to run soundflower or and AU Lab work around's. In short; if they don't figure out better 32bit support then Logic X can go eat **************. Logic Pro 9 is great, and if it ain't broke...... Don't fix it.

Hi Rounik,
I did a tutorial that is on You Tube about using Logic Pro X and VEPro 5 together to run 32 bit plug-ins. Can I post the link here so people can see the difference in running the AU Lab VS VEPro, or would you prefer I start a new topic (which I might have already done).
Since it seems like the topics are related, and that the VEPro method is much easier (though more costly) and I think people would want to see just how easy.
Thanks
George Leger III
AKA George Tech Guru.

BTW I have no affiliation or connection with the people at VSL. I bought and paid for their software that I'm using for this tutorial. Also, if you do buy VEPro, you will get the "Epic Orchestra" sample library free with it. This is a 3 GB sampled orchestra, simple to use, and fantastic sounding, a great addition to ones sample collection.

hi, this workaround was great for getting Miroslav Philharmonik (a 32 bit plug in for now - supposed to be updated to 64 by the end of the year) to work in Logic X.

I'm still having trouble getting two different MIDI sounds at the same time. I've been fiddling around with different channel assignments in both MIroslav and Logic X.

I can do another workaround - I can record each track as an audio track, but that way I don't get to hear what the various sounds are like together before the audio recording.

Anyway, if anybody knows how to deal with this, I'd really appreciate it.

(or, heck, I'll just do the recording in Logic 9!!)

Hi Rounik,
thx so much for the workaround,tremendously helpful..
have hit a slight snag tho...
i'm trying to get Xln's Addictive Drums to work
with a midi kit but it wont trigeer on any midi channel..
it plays the demo audio fine with the AU Lab workaround
but i cant seem to get it to trigger from either a midi kit or a keyboard controller...the kit and keys are triggering the new LPX kits just fine, but not AD..
All midi channels have been tried and the midi is going in ,but in the tutorial when is says i should see the channels show the kit sounds without hearing them ,they aren't being triggered.
Any help/ideas most welcome...
On the upside i can now trigger RMX kits from the midi kit which i couldn't do in LP9..Which is nice..
Cheers, i've just found this forum and it's excellent.
Thx again,
-CJ

Rounik
Hi ChronoJazz,

No problem at all :)

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Addictive Drummer. Have you setup each track in Logic to its own MIDI channel? hmmm... not too sure I'm afraid.

I didn't consider multi-instruments when writing this tutorial. If you find a solution do let me know.

I'll have time to take a look over the weekend maybe. If I discover anything I'll let you know... though, a better solution to using AU Lab and Soundflower would be VEPro (a few hundred dollars) - it can run 32-bit plugins in Logic Pro X... and I believe it'll work a lot better.

Another author has written about this recently... so stay tuned to macProVideo as we'll publish it in the coming days.

Hi Rounik,

thank you very much for your contribution!

I tried to run Steinbergs virtual guitarist, I get sound, but the plugin won't play as it should, you can hear only the first chord but no groove follows. After a few moments the first chord can be heard again and so on.

In this discussion Main Stage was mentioned: Do I need version 3 or could do version 2, delivered with Logic Studio, do the job?

Itried to connect Main Stage 2 and Logic X, but it did'nt wor so far.
If someone could give me a hint, I would be very glad.

Best wishes

Hi there,

finally I got it to work with MainStage 2, seems to be ok far now.

One thing I always wanted to know: If I want to use Vienna Ensemble, it has to be Ensemble Pro?

With the VSL Special Edition there came the Ensemble, but I only could create instances with Vienna instruments.

Best regards

Aug 15, 2013
Joar
Henkx, how did you make it work with MainStage? I've got MainStage 3 but I'm guessing they're similar enough. You don't have to make an tutorial as detailed as the main article here, but just some steps would be wonderful!

Thank you!

Yes you need Vienna Ensemble Pro to use it as plug-in host.

Komplete 8 Ultimate on Logic Pro
Hi guys,

I came here looking for a solution, when I realised my Komplete 8 Ultimate sounds disappeared from Logic Pro X. Just to confirm: Is the issue people are encountering got to do with Logic ProX not detecting Komplete 8 at all? Or is it that Komplete 8 fx don't work? I use Komplete 8 Ultimate and at first I had a hard time finding it on Logic Pro X. But now, I got a way out. But I have to tested that all the plugins work.

I'm wrapping up a couple of days worth of working on a 32bit interface that is reliable. I mainly need to insert a couple of plug-ins that are still 32 bit, but like working in Logic X for the most part.

AU Lab for whatever reason does not like FLUX plug-ins, and AU lab seemed a little crash, had to bail on that.

Tried Vienna Ensemble Pro, but there's too many hoops to jump through and my ability to get audio to just consistently pass through like a plug-in would just wasn't happening for me. It's likely that the intention of VEP is meant for slightly different uses than I need.

I decided to give RAX a try, from Audiofile-Engineering. They've made some great improvements on this application which I hadn't tried since many years ago. It's been working great and lets me use Logics I/O plug-in to get in and out of it which I prefer for my workflow.

Rax also has the added benefit of VST support. It also looks like it has Multichannel support up to 8, I may have to try that with surround mixes from Pro Tools where I'd like to use some VST's...

As with all things, YMMV, but this seems a good solution for now.

Thanks for your reply, Rounik. VEPro costs mucho pesos, non?
Aug 25, 2013
Rounik
Hey GF,

Admittedly is does cost... seems to be about 150 Euros (probably about the same in dollars).
http://www.vsl.co.at/us/211/497/537/1456/1083.htm

But, a few of our authors tell me you get a lot of bang for your buck with it... lots of excellent features and sounds. Also, looks like a very efficient way to run 32-bit plug-ins in Logic Pro X.

:)
Aug 25, 2013
G.F. Big
Again, Rounik, thanks. In looking around for this software, am I missing something when I see that it is only a host for sample libraries bought separately, or does it have its own instruments?
Aug 25, 2013
Rounik
Hi G. F.,

Oops. My bad... so yes, if you get VE Pro you get a 9 GB collection of high-quality samples:
http://www.vsl.co.at/en/211/497/1685/1990/2016/1703.htm

And, yes, that means the price creeps up too... though if you're already in the market for orchestral samples I've heard it's a good buy!

We'll be publishing the article on using VE Pro to host 32-bit plugins in Logic Pro X on Monday (tomorrow)... so take a look through the steps (very few involved) to get a sense whether it's the route you'd like to take.

Best,

JonStranks
I'm completely new to logic and I'm having trouble.. I've followed all the steps and when I play on Logic's keyboard It's lighting up the bar but no sound is coming out?

I think It might have to do with Step 5, where you're meant to set the Input Format button to Stereo because I couldn't work out how to do it, thanks!

JonStranks
I'm also having trouble saving it as a template, it comes up with, 'Please choose a location in the template folder or one of its subfolders!'

Thanks
Sep 06, 2013
Rounik
Hi JonStranks,

In other projects do you have sound coming through? Have you set your Audio Device for input and output correctly in the Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio window?

Is the channel strip for the track setup correctly with its output and input?

In terms of setting the stereo format button/input for the audio track click on the track header and in the Inspector on the left is its channel strip. Next to "Input" you should see a circle (mono) or interlinked circles (stereo). clicking on this button will toggle the input type between the two. Clicking on the word "Input" will allow you to set the input for the audio channel.

Hope this helps.

And regarding templates, simply choose File > Save as template...
Choose a name and make sure the location is set to:
Users/~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Project Templates/

I got it to work except for one thing.

I imported a midi clip from Ableton, to use in Logic. When I play the keyboard, the audio plays through just fine. However, when I add the midi clip to the same track and hit play, no audio comes through. Is there a way to fix this? I would love to be able to edit and humanize this midi performance in Logic instead of exporting an audio track from Ableton.

Thanks!

Hi Lorenzo,

That sounds like a different issue.

Have you tried importing the MIDI clip to a different software instrument track in Logic?

It should work fine as long as it's on the correct track (i.e. not on the audio track).

:)

I got it to work. I'm not sure why this worked but disabling the "record enable" on the external midi track allowed the audio to pass through once the midi clip was placed on the track.

On a separate note, it seems unfortunate that I cannot record audio while this reroute occurs, since I have to change the input to my audio interface. I guess that means I will need to bounce the track down to an audio file first, which isn't a huge deal.

Thanks for the work-around! This saved me a lot of time.

Hello,

Thanks for this tutorial. I'm having problems with hearing sound...

(FWIW I'm an relatively experienced Logic user - at least of the previous versions :-))

I can see the signal on the MIDI channel, and when I hit the keys on the plugin (Sylenth) within AU Lab I can hear sound, but when I'm back in LPX, nothing.

Can someone help ?

I think that the people from syleth 1 are being lazy and slow on the 64 bit version .it use to be my main synth now i use nexus 2 because they got good sound and is 64 bit without having to jump a bunch of hoops sorry lennar but i was looking forward to silent 2 64 bit and with other much needed improvements. i still love how it sounds so hopefully soon

I am pleading for a similar tutorial how to run 32-bit effects via Aux Channel!!!
Thank you!!!

Hi!

Great tutorial! I'm new to logic and I think I'm missing something though. I can only hear the audio from the VST when the audio track is selected. When I select the midi track to record something in midi I hear no sound and have a hard time playing without hearing myself. I tried to trigger record on the midi track while selecting the audio track but then the Input Monitoring turns off.

Additionally, since AU Lab lacks stability and has bad overall latency as some user previously pointed out I would like to use MainStage instead. However, I've never used it before and would need help with that. Is it possible to make an additional tutorial for that? That would be great! :D

Thank you!

I have a slight problem I hope someone could help me with. I've followed this tutorial and don't believe I missed anything, but I only get sylenth sound when I press with my mouse on the sylenth plugin inside au lab. But in Logic Pro X, midi notes don't trigger the sylenth in au lab. How can I check to make sure the midi track in LPX is routed correctly to AU Lab?

Hi Rick404,

Check the steps once again and make sure you have the MIDI channel set up in Step 3 that corresponds to the MIDI channel in AU Lab/Sylenth. This should work...

Best,
Rounik

Thanks for replying Rounik. I just went through it all and double-checked my settings. If I do a screen recording video of me going through the steps, would you be willing have a quick look to see where I'm going wrong?

Hi,

If I open up Logic Pro X, I can't see sylenth1 or any other AU-lab inserted plugin. I've done all the steps correctly

Thanks

Hi, I'm having exactly the same problem of Rick404. I've done all the steps over and over again (specially Step 3) and I can't hear anything in Logic - I can just hear it in AU Lab.

Here's a screenshot with my setup

(I've also tried with Sylenth, but had no sucess too.)

Hi Matheus,

Sorry to hear this. Have you tried restarting your Mac and using a new blank project in Logic Pro X?

Also, can you provide a few details. e.g. the version of Logic Pro X you're running, OS X and any details about audio interface/MIDI keyboard/your Mac, etc.

Thanks!

Hi, in trying to run AU Lab I've run into an old, annoying, problem. It keeps crashing because of Native Instruments' B4 plug in. It's no longer supported. I followed their answer in deleting it but I still get the error message

B4 II: Still no tonewheel files found! Please install the B4 again.

Is there a way around this, or to get rid of B4 completely (I trashed the file in Applications as well as the plist in Library)

thanks,
Francis

Hi there

Thanks for the article. Unfortunately, after following your instructions to the letter, I cannot get Sylenth to work.

The external MIDI track with Sylenth loaded is receiving an input as every time I touch my MIDI controller I can see signal coming through but cannot hear anything through the input-enabled audio channel.

I am using Logic X on iMac 2013 FD OS 10.9.1 with NI KA6 sound card (with Soundflower set as input in Logic X settings).

Best wishes

Patrick

Hi Paul,

hmmm... sorry to hear that. Do you have auto-punch mode enabled? Try turning it off.

Also, make sure the audio channel strip's output is set to Stereo.

Hi folks,

I don't know if anybody here has tried it, but "32 Lives" works like a charm. It took about 5 minutes for the whole process and now the old 32 bit Miroslav Philharmonik shows up in Logic Pro X just like my 64 Real Guitar and Garritan plug ins. After the first download and set up, there's absolutely nothing more to do.

Let me know if you try it - I hope it makes it much easier for you.

Thank you Don Salmon for the preciou$ information! Here is the URL to the relative site: www.soundradix.com/products/32-lives
A trial version is also available. ;-)
Feb 26, 2014
Don Salmon
Sure. And the trial version, is, of course, free.

I forgot to mention it's only $99 (yes, I paid several hundred dollars last September for Vienna Pro, which worked ok for awhile - I still found it annoying to have to set it up each time I wanted to use Miroslav - but then just stopped, and neither the Vienna Pro folks (who said it must be a Miroslav problem) nor the IK Multimedia (Miroslav) folks would help.

And yes, if you have any doubts, get the trial version. It's kind of funny- your old 32 bit plugin will work fine for about 20 seconds, then suddenly the image will start to fade and you won't get any sounds. Wait a few seconds and it comes back, and you can try out your sounds again for another 20 seconds or so.

I found that using the trial version for about 20 minutes was enough to convince me to buy it. I bought it right away, set the whole thing up, and I've been having a blast layering Garritan, Miroslav and Logic sounds ever since!

Don't hesitate - if you have had any trouble with 32 bit in Logic X, get the trial version right away. I doubt if anybody, after using the trial version, will hesitate to get the real thing (and in case anybody wonders why I'm so enthusiastic, no, I don't have any connection with the makers of the product. It's just really that great and such an incredible relief not to have to bother with all the other measures)

Hi Rounik,
Do I follow the same process if I already have an Aggregate device setup in my AMS? I was thinking the Aggregate device might replace AU Lab or Soundflower?

How would i be able to use this with a AU like Autotune Evo? I have autotune evo on my logic pro 9, but it wont open in logic pro X because its 32 bit.

Hello Rounik,

I have done literally everything you summed up in your article, but I don't get any sound through my speakers. My volume bar is going in AU Lab, FM8 (Which I'm using here) and Logic Pro. Can you help me?

Thanks anyway.
