Is there a > way to see other grid resolutions? > great question - I was JUST about to ask it myself. today I had my first session run exclusively in Logic. while there were some minor quirks due to my still learning how Logic does things, overall I'd say the session was surprisingly productive. not one crash or weird error on Logic's part (can't say the same for when I use DP). The session involved tracking bass, vocals and some additional synth parts over a stereo AIFF file I received (which contained the drums and other synth parts). While I knew the tempo of the song I still had to go into the audio file and strip silence and then try to line up the beats to the grid. I was very disappointed by Logic's grid - not only does the grid not seem able to display increments less than a bar, but an even bigger bummer is that the grid does not appear above the audio region you're trying to line up. so I tried using markers -- same issue. is there a way to change this behavior so that the grid and markers appear in front of the regions? my first half-hour of the session was extremely tense due to a bizarre setting in my Autoload that I never knew existed. I kept trying to import the stereo AIFF file into my arrangement but no matter how many times I imported the 5 minute file it always wound up stopping at bar 14. when I tried to scroll my arrange window horizontally it would also stop at bar 14 and bars 15 and on were sort of greyed out. I made sure that cycle wasn't set and kept scratching my head. finally looking through various books I discovered that Logic lets you set the length of the song. well, for some reason mine was set to 14 bars. so, even though I tried to import/paste info that was longer than 14 bars ( a lot longer) Logic wouldn't play nice. It would have been nice for Logic to realize that the song end needed to be extended due to the length of the audio file I was importing. or at the very least a warning saying "the length of the audio file you are importing exceeds the set song length. click cancel to change the song length or click OK and audio beyond the song end will be discarded" (or something to that effect). would have saved a newbie like me from a lot of confusion! regards, brian
