Visiting a Guitarist to Help With His Logic Pro Recording Setup

On site support recording guitar in Logic Pro X

Hi Paul. I’m using the following gear; Logic Pro X, Apogee Symphony, MPC X, Fractal Audio AXE FX2 XL and I’m having problems with getting everything connected. Can we arrange a visit for you to help me? – Joe

I received the above enquiry from Joe and we arranged a time for me to visit him the following week. Before the session, Joe and I discussed cabling for his setup via email.

On the day of the session, I arrived at Joe’s and we spent the morning covering:

  • Connecting the Fractal Audio AXE FX2 XL+ to Apogee Symphony via SPIDF cable
  • Configuring the Apogee Symphony software
  • Making test recordings in Logic Pro
  • Troubleshooting unwanted ground noise from guitar
  • Testing the MPCX working correctly
  • Testing the MPCX working as a plug-in in Logic Pro
  • Installing and testing the AXE editor software
  • Review of what we covered and making sure Joe was confident operating his equipment on his own.

At the end of the half-day session at Joe’s he was happy that he now had all his gear working correctly. After the session, he kindly took the time to leave me this nice review:
