Hi guys, I have a question regarding software instruments/audio interfaces. I have always wondered what happens if you're working on a project with your audio interface at a certain sample rate, but then decide to work on your way home and don't have the interface plugged. The audio is already recorded, and I'm only working with soft. inst. Do the changes made on the project during this lapse of time (without the interface) affect in any way the quality of the project whenever the interface is plugged back again? I'd appreciate any comments. thanks!

Thanks as always for your very helpful response! best, fvs

Hi All, I got a question... Is there any way I can synchronize music and video in a live performance through Main Stage 2? By this I mean playing logic software instruments and having the video synchronized at the same time. If this is not possible with logic or main stage, does anyone know any software that would allow me to do so? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks! cheers, -fvs

Hi Rounik, Sorry that I wasn't very clear. What I intend to do is performing live with main stage, and I want to use audio samples, and trigger video as well. I don't know how could I do this. Is there any way to do it through Logic? Thanks!

Hi Rounik, Thank you so much for the great websites! I will also try doing that mixer you said through logic. cheers, -Fvs

Thanks! I will post any findings ; ) One more thing, I actually was thinking about your idea of the mixer already, but some other questions raised. What if I want to trigger a video per each song that I perform along with certain audio tracks, but at the same time playing instruments from logic or mainstage. Could Logic or that mixer you created allow me to have ready all these videos/tracks/instruments in one single session? Do you know if when projecting these videos on a screen I will loose control of my laptop when performing? Another solution that I thought about was to embed some of the audio tracks to my videos with Quicktime, then have them ready when I perform each song and have mainstage opened to have access to other audio tracks maybe and/or software instruments to play with my Midi keyboard. What do you think? Sorry for the overwhelming series of questions... thanks again, -Fvs

Hi Rounik, Sorry for taking so long to reply. That looks awesome! I'd love to try it. Thanks a lot for sharing!! I've been trying to find out what's best for my live performances. I'll send you an email. : )

Hi Rounik, I've just started downloading the video mixer. I haven't been around for a long time, and I hadn't had the chance to check it out. I'll make sure to give you any feedback as soon as I go through it. Thanks a lot! Also, someone recommended a video software similar to modul8 called VDMX. I haven't tried it yet, but looks good. There's a free demo version, the website is www.vidvox.net By the way, I've been working on a project with a sampling rate of 48k at 24bit, and I'm using the 896Mk3 Motu interface. I want to bounce my project in logic and sample convert to 44k at 16bit. Does this conversion process inside Logic use the converters in my Motu interface when plugged in my computer? Any idea? Regards, -fvs

Hi Steve, Thanks for letting me know!

I'll definitely check your video mixer. Thanks. VDMX looks very cool, but the free demo version does not allow you to save a project : ( In regards to sampling conversion inside Logic, does anyone know if this conversion is good? I've heard some people complaining that Logic converters are not good. What do you think? Thanks!
