440 Forums _ Getting Started _ Can Anyone Help Out A New Mac G5 Owner?

Posted by: rspence Tue 31 Aug 2004, 01:30

I have just switched from running Logic Platinum 5 on my PC using Windows XP Pro to Logic Pro 6 on a Mac G5. I have it up and running and the basics are there. I just have some lose ends that I need to iron out.
1. I was using BBE Sonic Maximizer plug in but since networking the Pc to the Mac and copying the files over to the mac, when I open the songs in Logic Pro 6, the plugin is unavailable. I purchased a new plug-in from BBE for Mac but am having no luck.
2. I am using IK Multi-media's "TrackS 24" stand alone mastering suite for mastering and have installed it ok but when I open a mix it plays it too fast. I have checked the sample rate on my audio interface (Aardvark Q10 pro) and it should be ok?
If anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate your suggestions!
thanks.

1. Is the BBE plugin Mac VST? Logic is not compatible with VST plug-ins, only Audio Unit plug-ins. You can however use fxpansion's http://nav.440network.com/out.php?mmsc=forums&url=http://www.fxpansion.com/product-auadapter-main.php to wrap the plugin so that it will work with Logic. I don't think BBE make an audio unit version of the Sonic Maximizer.

2. How much faster is your mix playing in "TrackS 24"? Does it play the correct speed in Logic?

Thanks for the Audio Unit adapter tip. I've ordered one!
As far as the T-RacksS thing goes, the song plays normally in Logic!

Hello rspence,

It could be that T-RackS 24 is incompatible the Ardvark I/O. I was running a MOTU 828 interface an had exactly the same problem. Try running T-TackS form the internal speakers. If it runs at the proper speed, you have your problem.
