Hi all ! Last evening I was in a middle of a recording when I pressed the select button on buschannel on the Logic Control. Logic kept on playing but the recording stopped and the guitarist was sreaming... Is it not possible to select another track/channel/bus.. while in recording ? Leif Hole Jump Studio Ans Oslo, Norway

So far I got two propositions. On my own I have solved the problem by disabling the MAC and the quicktime sounddrivers. Will try thge advice I got from Marcio Nigro and Kenwchan. Henrik

Thoughts from the mind of Bert Wilmaers, 31-05-2002: >I'm setting up this "decks & fx" thing. (djing + live triggering of >samples).

My program "Qmk" (Qwerty midi keyboard) might do what you're looking for. basically it lets you treat your computer keyboard as a midi controller. You can assign any midi-note (or complete chords) to any key of your keyboard. It's not perfect, requires OMS and should be in the foreground (i.e. Logic in the background :), but quite a few people seem to be happy with it. Check the "Soft" section of my website (see signature). Oh, and it's Macintosh-only... -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.ision.nl/users/h/index.html

Taking off the "Larger process buffer" option certainly improves the difference, roughly from an 8th note early to a 16th note early. I really wish it would work in time... BF

It seems with LAMP 5.1.3 I can't automate pitchbend on a Virtual Synth from the arrange page via the new Automation parameters. The alternative is in Hypertdraw. Not too shabby at all and I'm being picky...but....it would be cool to have the curve tool available. So…either curve tool in Hyperdraw or move Midi Controller automation on to the front page, or am I missing something? Clive Young

I have a Quicktime movie that I have to compose for and before I start working I have 2 questions for those out there who know: 1) How do I get rid of the current soundtrack that is embedded in the quicktime movie file. 2) Once the new soundtrack which I'm doing is completed in LAMP 5.1.3, how do I save/embed the new soundtrack in the quicktime movie? Thanks, Phillymaestro

Where....? <hides pornography> JR

But not all of the time?! Hitting the 'enter' key or clicking in the entry field ? Because clicking near the edge of an entry field has always been a bit tricky in Logic [i.e. you sometimes end up clicking through to whatever is underneath] Dave Eager

> 1) How do I get rid of the current soundtrack that is embedded > in the quicktime movie file. You can use Quicktime Pro to do this. It gives you an option to get rid of the audio tracks of the file. Or you can just turn down the volume of the quicktime file once it's in your Logic session. > 2) Once the new soundtrack which I'm doing is completed in > LAMP 5.1.3, how do I save/embed the new soundtrack in the > quicktime movie? I am sure there are several ways to do this. If you own FinalCut Pro, you can import your new audio file and place it at the appropriate place in your movie and than export the whole thing as a new quicktime movie. Or you can import it using Quicktime Pro again - the main issue with doing it this way is that your first frame of audio must be exactly as the first frame of the quicktime movie - in case the music doesn't come right in, just burn some silence up front until the music kicks in to preserve the timing. Alternately, just hand over a CD to the film/video editor and they can do it for you :) Hope this helps. Cheers, Damir Price

Because >clicking near the edge of an entry field has always been a bit >tricky in >Logic [i.e. you sometimes end up clicking through to whatever is >underneath] Hitting "Enter", not clicking. That's what is so strange. Thanks for you reply, David. -Matt

Does this mean that i would not be in "Rewire Mode?" It seems that in Rewire Mode that Reason is not getting any midi signal at all. thanks for you help! ben

I'm not behind logic right now, but I recognise your problem: pitch bend doesn't show up in the list of controllers. On the top of my head it's controller 130; doubleclick the automation midicontrol value on the track in arrange(which by default is set to off or volume) and type it in. You should now get a red line which is the pitchbend automation. No clue why it is not in the list, but there you go.... Cheerio, Joris

Since 5.1.3, even less of the track name shows because of displaying the track numbers. Can I turn this off?? Thanks, Naim

two days ago there was a post regarding a MotU midi mini express and that the midi interface would go crazy [all face lights blinking] randomly while using Logic. i thought i had sorted out this problem with my set up [Motu midi express] but i too still get the same problem. so i tried exiting logic, and exiting the midi interface console. restart the interface...and blue screen. this has happened a couple of times. i, when had the same issues in Nuendo, turned off real time messaging in the midi console. and that solved the issues with Nuendo, but not Logic. [when real time messenging in the MotU interface is on it seems to start an endless loop]. are there known conflicts with Logic and MotU midi interfaces, or am i just missing a setting somewhere? thanks.

It depends on exactly what you want to do, but I think Ableton's Live! is better suited to this kind of thing. With Live you can access/mix all sorts of audio. Get Live with a midi controller and you're rocking. Doug

My Korg MS 2OOO acts monotimbral, although it's definetely 2 parts multitimbral (according to it's specs). My first recorded sequence always succeeds as it should, Logic monitors the right sound on the right channel. Then, as i try to record a second sequence on another channel, the recording itself also succeeds BUT: I can't hear both recordings simultaneously. I have to manually switch my Korg to the correct channel via global page nr3 (which assigns sounds to channels) of the recorded Logic sequence in order to play the selected Logic midi it's sequence. This way i can hear one of the 2 sequences, but the other sound is muted in doing so. Example:Korg preset 5 is assigned to Logic midi track 1 Korg preset 10 is assigned to Logic midi track 2 In Korg's Global Page 3 i manually assign on each of the 2 chosen channels on which i choose to record the correct preset.Each time i wanna hear a sequence i have to find it via Korg's global menu first. So the channels and chosen sounds are the same in Korg as in Logic. Yet, though i can hear the sequences on their own i can't monitor both! Logic only monitors the sequence of the the midi channel i highlight after i visited Korg's global page and it's corresponding channel (and it's assigned sound) PS: I got a few other synths running on Logic, none of them have this problem.They all live up to their multitimbrality What did i overlook?

I have been talking to Emagic directly and just wanted to say that every problem/issue I have had with the XSKey has been addressed and they have made up for any inconveniences. All of my faith has been restored because not only did the problem get fixed, but they have been putting forth a lot of effort to contact me even after the fact to help compensate things. I won't get into how, but I will say that all my grudges in the situation have been wiped clean. Any growning company is going to have growning pains, this is something I have always accepted, but it's a company owning up and taking responsibility to mkake things right that is what I look for. Emagic has done that for me. While I have been quite verbal about my complaints (and rightfuly so), I don't want anyone to think I don't appreciate it when someone fixes a problem. I applaud Emagic in their handlment of my problem. So for all those having trouble getting codes, give them a call and let them know yoursituation. Colin Miller PS - I know this may be more appropriate for OT, but this will be the only message on this from me, nothing more to be said, and I want everyone to know my position.

Even with the unit not connected to anything but power, it would crash. Every 30 minutes or so it spews out note on messages. It gets into feedback loops. The list goes on. I finally went and bought a Unitor the other day and all the problems went away. Colin Miller

I thought that the LC in the subject line would narrow it down enough - guess not, sorry! Naim

From: "phaelam" <phaelam@...> > two days ago there was a post regarding a MotU midi mini express and > that the midi interface would go crazy [all face lights blinking] I have a Motu Midi Timepiece AV. Works great with Logic on my PC. The only massive amounts of of all face lights blinking I had came from sending MIDI Clock to all channels. Since I don't need to send that to my synths I turned it off under Options>Settings>Synchronisation Settings>Midi tab. The only problem I have w/ my Motu MTP is that intermitently Windows doesn't like to recognize it. Reboot solves. -Sam
