    Since Logic crashes, when I try to use VE as a plugin, this is not really an option at the moment. So is there any way, to get more than one output in VE standalone? How do I route them into Logic?

    You can use Cycling 74's freeware Soundflower, an inter-application audio routing Utility for Mac OS X. With this you create an "aggregate device" in Apple's Audio MIDI Setup. Thus, for example, if you had a 24 I/O interface such as MOTU's 2408, you could set Soundflower to account for the next two (25-26) or next 16 I/0s and chose a stereo pair of these outputs as destination for VE. Then in Logic, you would create an auxiliary channel strip whose inputs corresponded to the output you selected in VE (e.g. 25 & 26) and you would set the Aux outputs to outputs 1 & 2. Alternately, some audio interfaces - - such as RME's FireFace 400 or 800 - - have a loopback mode implemented in their software so that you can route any output to any input. What version of Logic are you using? At the moment VE works for me as a plugin in Logic 8, but not in Logic 7.2.3. The folks at VSL are aware of this and promise a fix in the near future. You can also use the earlier Vienna Instruments software as a plugin in Logic 7.2.3 or Logic 8.

    Jack OSX also works very well with Logic when set up properly and allows you to route The VE Audio back in to as many aux as you need.There is an annoying latency issue though, which i still haven't figure out, R

    Thanks for the tipps! Just upgraded to logic 8, but VE doesn´t pass the AU validation. So I guess, I´ll try one of the recomended programs, since I don´t have the nerves to spend another few hours to fix problems.

     One thing you might try before giving up:

    If you have Alsoft's DiskWarrior, you might try running it (starting from the CD) to rebuild the directory of the startup disk. In my experience, this procedure has fixed many otherwise inexplicable problems that no other software either detected or fixed. (DiskWarrior does not give you a complete rundown on what it's done, but on a number of occasions, recurrent problems simply disappeared after running this procedure.) If you don't have this software, I'd suggest obtaining it since it is indispensable for Mac users. (No I don't work for Alsoft [:)]
