Using Logic X Alchemy inside Ableton

[jobinho]

So it seems this is now possible using Loopback (https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/)

Is anyone using Logic inside Ableton this way, or is there a better alternative?

I'm just wondering how much of a workflow killer it might be or if it's quite easy.

Cheers for any thoughts you have

Isn't this just a new version of Soundflower (but no longer free)?

[jobinho]

It's really easy to use and more stable than Soundflower was. Try the demo.

Cheers, just trying to use it now.

Excuse my ignorance, I can't seem to get any audio from Logic into Ableton, how do you link it up?

Loopback is different and not the same code base. Sounds much better I think. I only got occasional distorted sound and glitches from Soundflower for many years in longer sessions or no work at all. That's unacceptable.

I don't have a problem with supporting software that just works. I wasted hours and hope on Soundflower.

Also, does this method enable Logic & Abeton to sync and can you use midi lanes within live for Logic instruments?

Yes, just use Ableton's External Instrument device to get the audio from Logic into Ableton and the midi from Ableton into Logic.

To sync the two apps make sure the the IAC Driver is set as a destination in the Midi Sync Project Settings in Logic. Then in Ableton under the midi preferences, set it to receive sync from the IAC Driver.

Thanks man, I actually got it working well using Soundflower, and it's free so may stick with it until I notice any issues.

I don't suppose you use Push? I'm looking to use my Push 2 in Logic so I can use scales for Alchemy etc.
