[quote:1002]Hi Cubot, Ahh, I seem to recall that Express only has a Sum arrow on the Physical Input ... one of the limitations of express I guess, so you may not be able to follow along exactly with the tutorial. Sorry! I should have made note of that ...[/quote] Soo for us Express users can you explain how to hook up midi in the enviorment window??

I really need some help here! I have a keystation 49e plugged into my usb and a Roland MV8000 workstation plugged into midi i\o of a firewire410. This is the problem whith my logic express program I can not use any of the midi inputs, i tried to do setup again and add them there but still nothing. can someone please give me any suggestions on how I can make this work?? thanks

thanks for the help!! I still don't know how to get the roland to play through midi. All the midi tracks do not have the option to arm for recording, the only button on all midi tracks is mute. I can't even play the caps lock keyboard.

No I get no midi at all. I just bought the enviorment tutorial turn learn a little more midi, hopefully this helps. another question is there a big difference between logic express and pro in the enviorment?? will this tutorial help a express user??

hey thanks everybody I got it to work!!! the enviorment dvd was very helpful, I set up my enviorment just like in the tutorial and I got the mv to put out sound into logic!! I still can't get the instruments in logic to produce sound but I think I just need to play around some more.

My next step is to get a external hard drive, I was just wondering what would be a good investment to store my music. I was lookin at this LaCie [url]http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=635CE658&nplm=TF248LL%2FA[/url] LaCie 250GB FireWire Hard Drive, Porsche Design

I have logic express and I just got my hands on some vst/vsti plugins and was wondering if I could use them in logic. I tried to upload anteres auto-tune into logic but could not find a place that would let me add new plugins. I also got some vst synths to upload. Don't know if they are even compatable with my set up but any help is appreciated.. Thanks oohh I am running on an apple i-mac

Thanks for the info!! it helped a lot !! Does anyone know if the plugin tutorial talks about this subject??? I've been looking to pick that up. Thanks guys

I have upgraded from logic express 7 and I am very pleased with the new version!! I can understand why people love logic pro 7 and if had started out with that I may not have upgraded seeing how there was not many new plugins added, and I really did like the look and feel of the old arrange window. If someone is thinking about a jump from express 7 to logic studio I think it will be a good move and you won't be dissappointed. Good luck in any choice you make!!
