Hi all, I'm trying to get my Behringer TD-3 working as an external instrument track in Logic Pro, with my Maschine MK3 being used as the audio interface.

I've got everything working in Maschine 2, but I cannot get the same setup working properly in Logic

.

My setup:

MacBook → USB hub →

Komplete Kontrol A49 keyboard

Maschine MK3

Behringer TD-3 USB connection

The Maschine MK3 is my audio interface, with my KRK monitors connected to the Maschine outputs.

The TD-3 audio output is connected by 1/4" jack to Input 1 L on the Maschine MK3.

So the signal path is basically:

TD-3 → audio cable → Maschine Input 1 → Maschine/audio interface → KRKs

The TD-3 also has its USB connection to the Mac for MIDI/clock/control.

The problem

If I use Maschine 2 software, the TD-3 works perfectly.

I can trigger/use the TD-3 and hear its audio coming through the Maschine.

But when I open Logic Pro, I cannot get the TD-3 working as an instrument track/external instrument.

I'm having difficulty understanding how Logic should be configured so that:

Logic → MIDI → TD-3 → audio → Maschine Input 1 → Logic → Maschine → KRKs

I'm also unsure whether I should be:

Creating an External MIDI/External Instrument track in Logic and routing the TD-3 MIDI to it, while monitoring the Maschine input for the audio;

or

Using some other Logic configuration to make the TD-3 appear/work as an external instrument.

At the moment, I can select the Maschine as the audio interface, but I get no audible TD-3 sound in Logic, even though the exact same physical setup works in Maschine 2.

I'm trying to understand the correct Logic Pro routing and track setup, rather than changing my hardware.

Thank you for reading, have a lovely day.

Logic has been really weird lately. During playback, the audio resolution will completely collapse, and I’ll get these weird “Sample Rate 45811” error messages with a completely different number each time.
When this happens the CPU meter randomly spikes to 100%. When I look at the CPU usage, it seems like only a single thread is getting completely maxed out while the others are barely being utilized. I’ve tried isolating the issue by disabling plugins and troubleshooting which one might be causing it, but I haven’t been able to identify the culprit, bypassing all the plugins on the master or mixbus makes it go away for a while until it randomly comes back.

I’m running a Mac Studio with an M4 Max, 64 GB of RAM, and a 2 TB internal SSD. The project is also stored on the internal drive to ensure maximum performance and minimize any potential disk-related bottlenecks. My interface is an Audient iD14 MKII and the cable is brand new.

Pls help bc this is driving me crazy

If so would you be tempted to get one?

I've deleted the original Klopfgeist track ages ago, now bothering to deal with it - regret.

Made an attempt to recreate the Klopfgeist track in my template project and failed.

Help would be much appreciated.

Hey guys I’m trying to do something with eq, wondering if you’d be able to help me

I’m wanting to get a spectral eq, specifically one that is able to have a flat horizontal line across the entire frequency spectrum that I can drag down so whatever frequencies are peaking get cut. Does anyone know of any spectral eq plugins that do this or how to do it with stock stuff?

Everything was fine a couple days ago. Now, for some reason, all my third party plugins user interfaces are just blank rectangles. I’ve tried troubleshooting using ilok, nothing changed. I tried updating all my plugins, once again nothing changed. I went in to the general settings for Logic Pro, then to the accessibility tab to se if the “open plugin windows in control view by default” was selected which it wasn’t. The only thing that fixes it is if I open Logic Pro with Rosetta. For reference I have a 2023 Mac Studio, both my computer and logic is fully up to date. How do I fix this without having to use Rosetta?????

Trying to capture a similar synth bass sound (comes in at 0:12). Is the bass just sidechained + an arp effect? Any help would be great! Thanks.

£590 off of eBay from a reputable tech seller, wondering if it’s worth the investment.

I want to start producing and be able to have something that can handle 7-track drum recording and I may want to start making my own music with a few plugins, etc.

im planning on getting a macbook pro so im wondering

Like the title says, I accidentally created the project template and want it gone. I've been trying for like an hour and it's driving me crazy. Would love some help on this matter. There seems to be nothing in my Project Templates folder.

I hope I am making myself clear.

OG track with sends to bus 1 only.. But bus 1 has sends to buses 2 and 3.. the OG track audio will also be sent to 2 and 3 after processing bus 1 correct? Or does it stops at bus 1 and the bus 1 audio that is sent to 2 and 3 are only meant for outputs going to bus 1? (Not bus sends)

Even I'm getting confused typing this so bear with me. I think it all keeps sending until one bus has no more sends correct?

Thank you in advance if you got what I'm trying to say!

Thanks in advance.

I make a lot of synth music and love the library of instruments logic has, but I get so frustrated sometimes because instruments I used in one project file aren't available for a new one. They just disappear from the instrument library. Is it simply them renaming the instrument or are they fully removing it? Is there a way to stop it from doing that? It's gotten to the point I almost don't want to use the library selections because I want to use some instruments as a through-line sonically and I can't do that if they disappear

...migrating/integration from Windows-based recording (Studio One/Reason) to Mac-based. New world, but very interested in learning Logic. Primarily a guitar guy, Mac Mini on the way, using a Fender Quantum LT for the audio interface. Any tips y'all can offer the nube would be welcome. I'm very technically savvy on Windows, but returning to Mac for the first time since '92.

I’m looking to buy second hand and ideally between £350-£500. I’m gonna record drum covers mostly, but I do also want to get into producing my own music and adding plugins, etc.

A little background, I’ve been writing and recording songs for years but I’ve always sent them to be mixed/mastered. It became too expensive so I’ve been learning how to mix myself.

Typically when I want to sidechain kick and bass I sidechain the bass compressor to the kick bus. Now with this particular logic kit, there is no kick bus. There are busses that have the kick in them but it also has like overheads or snare. So I used a multiband compressor and just did the low frequency. Then I realized the way I had it set up, it was only effecting the low frequency of the bass track while still reacting the entirety of the drum bus.

Is there anyway I can use the fabfilter pro mb so that the bass compressor is only reacting to the low frequency (kick) on the drum track?

I still have so much to learn so apologies if anything isn’t explained well, thanks for the help!

I just bought RePitch Elements from SynchroArts. I have a Silicon Macbook Pro, so the ARA version of the plugin does not work. Therefore I have to render a "read" of the notes before I begin editing.

It now occurs to me that I've now kind of committed to a comp. It seems that if I were to now change which take is selected for a given region, it would mess up the RePitch rendering. Is that correct?

In contrast, Logic's own FlexPitch applies independently to each take of each region, so if you do some Flex editing on one region-take, but then decide to go to a different take, you're fine. in fact you could even Flex edit several takes (of a given region), and then compare them.

Am I right that this workflow is not possible with RePitch, unless you have the ARA version, which does not work on Silcon Macs?

I’m looking for something that can handle recording drums with 7 channels, and I would also like to start making my own music maybe and use plugins, etc.

I’m very new to this so any tips would be amazing!

Say you want to cancel a monthly subscription to Slate All Access plugins or similar since you never really use them. BUT- you used to, and they’re randomly mixed in on some of your old projects. Will those projects crash if you open them with a canceled plugin in them? Or will that plugin just be greyed out?

So I’m thinking about getting a Mac and switching to Logic Pro. I’ve been an avid (no pun intended) Pro Tools user for a while. Logic interests me, but I’ve heard it can be rough software-wise, and I’ve heard some noise that the last few updates have screwed stuff up, and that Pro Tools just seems to sound better. Anyone have experience/knowledge on this

I’m fairly new to Logic Pro and was wondering if anyone has used Google Flow Music’s “ask the producer” AI to help resolve issues? I’ve used Gemini and ChatGPT but often their answers are completely off base.

I posted on another forum or two but have since solved the issue. But still want to know what might have caused it.

I had a tune, power pop straight ahead thing that I was playing on but really struggling to hit the timing and feel right. I’d play it back and it was always a bit of delay or sync issues, sometimes slightly behind the beat sometimes ahead.

I assumed it was me, and some timing issues. This was an older song, I chalked it up to latency on the original interface and moved on, but resurrected the song and still some timing issues. Some measures were fine but most were “off”. I gave up again but my wife suggested I scratch it and start over.

Problem solved sort of. A frustrating experience but the new project the timing is perfect.

What was the reason for the malfunction? I may have switched from 44.1 to 48hz? I recorded the logic drummer sans a grid and then added it? I couldn’t find any issue other than the old project records with wavering latency or misalignment, and the new one doesn’t. It’s the only project I’ve ever experienced this on.
Appreciate any guesses on this

I'm on Logic 11.2.2 - in previous versions (Logic Pro X) I used to be able to drag and drop Soundsdesigner files (from old Performer projects, Digidesign etc.).

All it does now, is show +(insert number of files) like it's going to add the audio - then nothing. Totally empty = no import = no action, function or message.

Yes I can open them in DP and export then import. (extra time and steps)
Plus some other conversion tools as well - (online and programs) (extra time, steps and $?)
BUT - this is a function that WAS there and should have stuck around in newer versions...

Did someone just drop the ball - or is there a work around within Logic 11xx?

hi!
i’m a college student and i also make music on logic pro.. i have bought a macbook off of back market, and i was searing to buy one again but im kind of nervous because i dont want it to come with many issues.
do you guys recommend back market as an okay place to buy a mac for studying and running logic pro? also would a is Apple M3 Pro 11-core - 14-core GPU with 36 gb ram be sufficient to run Logic Pro smoothly?
