440 Forums _ Software on MacOS 9 _ Help Me With An Oldie, Please: Logic 4.8 / Os9

Posted by: zaaresh Mon 19 Mar 2007, 21:10

Hi there,
I hope someone can help me with the following problems,
(I did not split up the questions in 3 different topics, because it all concerns the Logic Settings... I think)

1) No VST:
I´m running Logic 4.8.1 on OS 9 on my old MAC PCI 450Mhz . When I open Logic I´m able to hear and record Audio but I can neither open an Audio Instrument (Battery for ex.) nor VST PlugIns - when I try to open them, "No Effect" is displayed. The VST PlugIns Folder is in the Logic Folder and the VST Plugs are apparently ready to be used - still no selection is possible.

2) ASIO Driver:
I recently changed the sound card from a MOTU PCI 324 to a RME DIGI 96 PST . As for the PCI slot it should be OK since Reason 2 works perfectly well with the RME card. But Logic doesn´t retrieve the driver ("No driver" is displayed in the Audio Hardware and Drivers Section) . The DIGI 96 ASIO Driver as well as the RME Card Settings folder have been copied in the ASIO Drivers Folder, I removed the MOTU Driver.

3) ReWIRE?
Does Logic 4.8 support ReWire with Reason 2? How do I select it in Logic?

Thank you for replying ...!

Hello

Which flavour of OS 9 are you running? 9.04, 9.11 or 9.22?

For your PCI card, You should reset the http://nav.440network.com/out.php?mmsc=forums&url=http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238 first and http://nav.440network.com/out.php?mmsc=forums&url=http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=95037 second (I guess the G4 is AGP not PCI graphics).

Note, some settings will have to me done again (time/date, printer, startup disk…)

Hope this helps.

Hi ,

thanks for the links .. and for transferring the topic to the OS9 Section...!

Before I do the resetting, just for info: my G4 is a PCI graphics, but I clocked it to 450 Mhz (jumpers). I run MAC OS 9.2 (9.2.1 I´m pretty sure) . Do I still proceed in the same manner?
- what changes will bring the reset (Is it "Contents of PRAM") ? Do will I have to reinstall programs or is it just a relocation of RAM ?

I don´t mind to change the time/date, startup disk... but as I share the computer with a collegue, I should know what will "happen" : we bought the computer from a studio a few years ago and the owner had it configured in order to be used with a digital Mackie mixer (Word Clock OUT) , a MOTU 2408 PCI card and Logic , so I don´t want necessary change a lot in this setup except that the Audio Card has changed.

thank you ,

Hi again ,

problem solved...
thanks for your help but it was really quite the other way i solved the mystery. i basically had to delete Logic Preferences in "System Preferences", thats why the old driver showed up all the time . besides that : never confound a Logic "alias" with a logic "copy" ... gnnnnnhhhh...!!!!
well at least i´ve got them again: VST, ASIO driver and REWIRE --- yiipeee..!
greet you
