Re: EDP+Logic Problems

[Per Boysen <per@boysen.se>]

Hi Erland,

Once upon a time I succeeded to run Logic as the slave to my EDP,  
while recording both audio and MIDI into Logic. But that was on a  
5.something PC version of Logic. When I was not able do that again in  
later Logic versions (mostly using Mac OS X now) I discussed it with  
Emagic and was told that it's not possible. For the latest  
productions I have done with Logic and EDP I have therefore been  
slaving the EDP to Logic (or Live) by MIDI clock, which works  
flawlessly.

For me this all comes down to what I want to do musically. If I want  
the global tempo of my looping rig to go up and down with the EDP's  
speed button I run the EDP as the master. This also gives me the  
option to set the tempo by the first EDP loop created.

But quite often I like to make funny noises with my EDP by jumping  
between half speed and normal speed while in overdubbing mode. Then  
it would not sound good if the tempo should also jump 100 or 50  
percent ;-) and it makes perfect sense to run the EDP as the slave.
