1. I really want to sync the clocks too but I never got around to figuring out a good system for it. Assuming Live is the master clock, there isn't a direct way to sync Logic's clock, because Live sends MIDI clock for sync and in the Logic manual it says:
"Logic Pro can send MIDI Clock signals to synchronize external devices. It can not receive MIDI Clock synchronization signals."
All is not lost though. I think it's possible to use a third piece of software that converts Live's MIDI clock to something Logic supports. But I'm not sure such software exists. I assumed I would have to build it myself, that's why I never got around to it.
Other options could work, like making Logic the master (Live says it can be a slave to MIDI clock), or using external hardware to serve as the master clock for both programs. I didn't really look into making Logic the master because I want to control the tempo and song position from inside Live, and basically think of Logic like a big plugin. Since you want to mixdown in Logic, making Logic the master clock probably makes sense. Read the section on synchronization in the manuals for both programs and hopefully that will get you started.
2. Once you have Live sending MIDI to Logic, you can just record the track in Logic and then edit and mix from there. Logic doesn't care where the MIDI is coming from, so this isn't really any different from recording notes from a MIDI keyboard. If you have audio clips in Live, that's a little bit more work. You could try using something like Wormhole2 to route the audio over, or just mixdown the clips/tracks in Live and open the files in Logic. Shouldn't be too hard...
