Alright, I'm a complete n00b here. I want to use Massive for my primary synth. I have a piece of crap Casio keyboard with MIDI inputs, MBox 2 Mini, USB MIDI adapter, and I'm using Logic Pro.

How the hell do I get this to work?? What do I do? I know this is a very basic question, but I literally have no idea what to do in order to hear what I'm creating......

I'm on a Mac, btw. Thanks in advance.

Read the manual that came with Massive?

Turn knobs till it sounds good

Yeah, but that's just it. I hear nothing. What settings must I use in order to hear something.

Have you read the manual?

open audio preferences in Logic. Select your audio output?

you have legit massive or did you pirate it? pirated versions dont work properly, so I'd suggest you pay for it, or use a synth you already own.

Oh, there's that elephant that was hiding in the room before XD

Is this serious? If you cant figure it out, you need to go back a couple of steps before trying to produce. Considering you have just spent £100s on logic pro and massive I would spend time getting with grips with one thing at a time like the synths within logic before trying to just jump in at the deep end.

if you paid for it, try playing a midi note. it wont make a sound without being told to.

YouTube "Massive basics" and "Massive workshop".

Also, turn on an oscillator? Haha.

I can play my keyboard fine in Logic without Massive, just trying to figure out how Massive works. Do I add a plug-in from the mixing screen? That's the only place in Logic that I see anything even remotely related to NI, under Audio Units > FM8.

How the hell does this work, damnit. Yes, I paid for my software, all of it. I don't want to do my mixing in Logic, fwiw. I'm using Garageband for my mix. I just want to use Massive for my synth/wobble, and Logic for mastering.

OP is trolling... did everyone here miss that?

I'm not, either. I've spent my entire life with Metal in Pro Tools. I am new to Logic, Massive, and electronic music in general.

No one knows the meaning of trolling anymore. Like "resampling" it's a word that gets thrown around here without full knowledge of the requirements and purpose. Short answer, no, he is not trolling.

But I do find it curious he came to ask us first, appose to Google and YouTube -- I'd always start with a quick YouTube search followed by "tutorial", or "dubstep tutorial".

All I need are the damn settings. I will have NO problem finding the sound I crave once I've figured out how to use it, I just need the ability to HEAR it first.

HOW DO I MAKE NOISE

play c5 on your keyboard

Look at his username. Trolling. I know asking dumb questions isnt trolling. But, the whole routine here, IS, by definiton.

According to a certain regular, who refused to post in this thread, the OPs been doing this routine for a long time.
