using Midas console with Logic

Hello,

I am kinda new to Logic and have a question. I am using a Midas Venice 32F console with Firewire output to record all 32 channels into Logic. Today, I tried to send those same 32 channels back through the board, which Midas will allow, but I could only get Logic to send a stereo signal. I set everything that I could find (audio/midi setup, Logic output, sound output) to reflect the Firewire connection as the output device for the program and the laptop. Still only a stereo send? What really frustrates me is that Reaper, the free solution, will do this with no problems which means it is a software issue and not my laptop or the board. Please help.

This is my equipment...

15" MBP with Intel chip and 8 Gb's of RAM running Mavericks

Midas Venice 32F console

Logic Pro X

Thanks again for the help.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Can you supply a screenshot of your (or a) channel strip? A friend has an F32 and he brought it round to try in my Logic. I had it all working, both ways, in about 15 minutes but the board is no longer here. A screenshot may jog my memory but what you're trying to do should work fine in Logic.

Octopi,

Thanks for the support! At least now I know that I am not trying to do the impossible. LOL I will send a picture of the channel strip tomorrow morning. Thanks for the help.

Octopi, here is link to the channel strip. Do you need a screenshot of the Logic channel strip as well?

You will need to assign the output form each channel in logic to a unique channel on the mixer. It works for me.
