NEW: PC (Core2Duo) soundcard (1820m) Logic (Pl 5). Setup issues. Need help.

Hi guys,

I've added some new things to my setup and replaced some things.

New:

Core 2 Duo PC

E-Mu 1820m

Logic Platinum 5.5.1

What I still want to use:

Midi-modules (3)

Unitor8

My questions:

UNITOR 8

My old PC had windows 98. I used the original CD that came with the Unitor8 and put Unitor Control (and also ofcourse the driver) on my new PC with XP. Nothing works. All I can do is "Open Midi Monitor". That's it.

My new PC doesn't have a com port so I used the original USB cable that came with the Unitor8 to connect it to my PC.

1) When I open it it says "Error: -1" I click continue and another error message and I click continue and then I get into the Unitor Control. Does anyone know what the error is?

2) I tried to get the XP driver for the Unitor8 but I can't find it anywhere. When I turned on the Unitor8 the PC did recognize it and it said "Emagic midi device". Is there a way I can find the driver?

3) Basically in Logic Control I can't do a thing - can anybody help me on this?

E-MU 1820m

4) I opened a Logic Gold song file in Platinum and it worked. The only thing is the envirenmont is a bit different. The 'Phyiscal Input' is now not 'Unitor8' anymore, it's E-Mu DSP 1 and E-Mu DSP 2 (or something similair). I assume this is for the E-Mu soundcard MIDI input 1 and Midi input 2. I do not need those inputs right, I can use the Unitor8 right? I have too many MIDI-modules and 2 inputs is not enough.

5) How can I make the Physical Input 'Unitor8' again in the Logic envirenmont?

6) What do I need to do in Logic Platinum 5.5.1 so that it actually recognizes that I use a Unitor 8 AND that I use the 1820m?

7) I got the E-Mu Patchmix software.. and to be honest I don't really know what is what.

I've plugged the 2 main outs of my mixer into the front XLR ins and put 2 outputs in 2 inputs of my amplifier (which is connected to my monitors ofcourse since I have passive ones). After turning on the PC I can play a CD (also connected to my mixer) no problem.

My setup is obviously pretty easy (Oh I also have 1 mic (line) input in analog input 1 on the back of the breakout box).

What do I need to do in Patchmix to make everything work smoothly (I don't want to use the Patchmix for anything, I want to use Logic for mixing etc. I just want the routing to be good and that's it)?

A lot of questions, but a lot of us have been there. New computer, new soundcard, new audio interface and sitting there and you can

Hmm I have to wonder if you're even able to use the Logic Control with 5.51? I have a FW 1884 which Logic 5.51 didn't even recongnize... With dual core, Hyper threading on and on Logic 5.51 probably doesn't support it, I myself made a plunge to a G4 and updated to Logic 7.2 and haven't had any issues.

Sorry mate but I beleive you're on your own for bugs n stuff.

Later
