Select “Auto demix by channel” if multitrack recordingĬonfigure the project to only listen to MIDI from the IAC MIDI input (this is an essential step - skipping this will result in all sorts of weird errors as MIDI flows directly from sources rather than through Live)ĭelete the connection between the “sum” and “input notes” objectsĬreate a connection between the inbound IAC MIDI port and the “input notes” objectĬreate or select Software Instrument track(s)Īssign MIDI channels to correspond with the MIDI-To settings in Live Set project-level configuration preferences (only required for multitrack work)

#32 LIVES LOGIC PRO X ARCHIVE#
Zip archive of the (revised) Logic and Live templatesĮxcellent video introduction to the Loopback software The configuration steps to set up the environment are still required, but you should then be able to load these up as a starting point. Why not 16, you ask? Because this template includes a B3 organ instrument in Logic, which consumes 3 MIDI channels all by itself. They’re set up to do 14 channels of audio and MIDI. Here are links to two project files which you are welcome to try out as a template. Resourcesġ6-channel project templates for Live and Logic If you rely on controllers that don’t use MIDI to communicate with the DAW (like Push) my suggestion is to use this dual-DAW configuration in a separate (controller-free) session, capture the Logic sound in Live audio tracks, dump out of Logic and complete your work in Live-only sessions with your controllers back in the workflow. Push shuts down entirely as soon as Logic is running. Komplete Kontrol works fine under Logic, but it’s completely disabled in Live (except for MIDI). Logic breaks controllers like Push and Komplete Kontrol because it grabs them away from Live as it starts up. There is a strong presumption that Live is the “Master” and Logic is the “Slave.”
#32 LIVES LOGIC PRO X HOW TO#
Remember, all this post does is describe how to convert Logic into a software instrument that’s available to Live (as if Logic were a Rewire slave to Live). Revises the Logic and Live templates to reflect this change in audio processing.Īdvises against using this approach if your Live workflow includes controllers such as Ableton Push or NI’s Komplete Kontrol. Loopback is great stuff and I heartily recommend it - but it isn’t free. Soundflower is no longer being actively supported and I haven’t been able to get it working properly since OSX 10.9. This is where you’re headed and this diagram may be all you need.Ĭhanges the audio transport mechanism from Soundflower to Loopback (by Rogue Amoeba Software).
The goal is to use MIDI coming from Live to control instruments in Logic, and get that audio back into Live. I’ll will try to respond to your questions as best I can (click HERE to contact me) - but I’ll be sluggish, don’t count on a reply in anything less than 24 hours. Until then, this is a set of notes on how I do it. In some perfect future, Logic will run as a Rewire slave and a fella won’t have to do all this goofy stuff. I like facets of each of these systems and want to have the best of both worlds - the live-performance flexibility of Live and the instruments and signal processing of Logic. This is another scratchpad post to remind myself how I set up two of my favorite digital audio workstations (Ableton Live and Apple Logic Pro X) to run at the same time.
