The Fadermapper demo won't - it's designed to avoid the need for users to fiddle with transformers, and doesn't require any environment knowledge to set up. Trying to figure it out by deconstructing Fadermapper would be painful, and all the macros are locked anyway. Hendrik's tutorial will be more helpful if you want to know how things work and build stuff yourself. > Once I understand what's going on with the transformer object > I will probably try your fadermapper demo.

The conflicts mount and > reinstallation gets to be a pretty big job. Fadermapper is a Logic environment, not a separate piece of software, and as such there aren't any conflicts with other software unless Logic is already conflicting in some way. If it all turns sour you can simply open a different song that doesn't contain the Fadermapper environment. It does require more memory than running without it though, depending on how many audio objects you want hooked up and accessible. The demo is quite a small version compared to the Fadermapper setups some of us are running - if you have 200MB+ you should be fine with the demo.

Open the plugin and change the default output assignment from "--" to any valid output selection. Now that channel and any plugins on that channel will run on the other processor (a VSTi is a good candidate for this approach. The plugs for this track, and the VSTi istelf will now run on the other processor.) Lather , rinse, repeat... use often for best results... valentin artist, producer, ninja

Platinum Windows 5.5 freezing for a LONG time and practically permanently, when using the following aux sends: Aux, Source, # of Bus Sends, Send Destination Buses 40 40 8 41 to 48 41 41 7 42 to 48 42 42 7 43 to 48 and 41 43 43 5 44 to 48 and HERE the freezing starts: 41 (a few minutes freeze) 42 (fifteen minutes, forced end task) But it does this only if it the last sends chosen on Aux 43 are Bus 41 or 42, not 43-48.

Running with an Athlon XP 1800 and 512MB of RAM. Tried popping in a different 256Mb chip from a different system with same same motherboard, but would crash out when booting logic, I'm assuming it's necessary to have matching brands of memory. I have 3 slots of for simms, and I'm wondering whats the fastest and best kind of memory to be running, and what the difference would be in performance if I jumped up to 1GB or more of RAM. Would this help with the ASIO overload when I have too many plugins going? That seems to be always my bottleneck. Scott

Thought about that but I believed it couldn't be done. Actually, I only take it out from my main computer when I need to do something else in other place. Recently I started using Logic & my iBook to perform live with EVB3 and sometimes I'm a little worried about losing my xskey. I'd like to buy a second Logic (Audio or Gold) plus softsynths for the live work, but I can't at this moment. Regards, Juande www.cambiodeplanes.com

Steinberg, perhaps? If the AU spec is flexible enough to allow a VST instrument to run inside an AU, and if its really as easy as claimed to port an VST to AU format, then Steinberg ought to be able to do that without too much trouble. Whether they'd want to (for a while, at least) is another matter. They might prefer to hang on for a bit so that emagic get more grief for not supporting OSX VST. If they are considering that, I think that they perhaps ought to be thinking about also releasing an equivalent simple freeware (reWire2- equipped) VST container for Windows and OS9, so that suddenly everyone's Windows and VST plugins could run stand-alone (in the container) and be linked together as AUs can. Release the thing for OS9/Windows, then port it to AU, and that's everybody covered, with VST plugins also getting more options on the other platforms. [Erk]

How does it > exactly work? > Alex Well, the idea is to turn a single firewire cable into a virtual digital audio and MIDI loom, with up to about 100 audio channels and a load of virtual MIDI cables, to create a default connection standard for multi-channel audio and MIDI. You then daisy-chain mLAN- equipped machines together by their firewire ports to create an extended network without requiring any hubs or special hardware. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be totally ready yet. Yamaha do have an [eight-channel?] embeddable chip that can be built into digital audio gear, but if you want to use a computer you'll need a special driver ... last time I looked the PC version was XP-only, was still officially prerelease (v0.9), and wouldn't install on my XPPro laptop. And although OSX is supposed to include mLAN support at the OS level, I don't /think/ that's happened yet (I may be wrong). So the revolution seems to have been be delayed somewhat (I've heard it /said/ that the Yamaha mLAN drivers do work fine on OS9, but haven't seen it working myself.) [Erk]

Yep, I know this one well! The solution (assuming that you are already using the latest drivers) seems to be to uninstall the card, temporarily disable all other audio hardware for luck, and then reinstall the Audigy card using the "custom install" option, and <pause for emphasis> make sure that you do =NOT= install any of the the funny "PlayCentre" or "Recorder" software. It's the additional Jukebox/MP3/etc software (which gets put on with a default install) that seems to screw up the ASIO driver. "Creative Recorder" seems to be incompatible with logic but you can use WaveStudio instead, which is better for most purposes. Unfortunately, I don't know whether the bit of software that lets you change your SPDIF input settings and enable SPDIF for recording is one of the "compatible" ones or not. :-( If not, if your PC is already set up to dual-boot two copies of Windows, you can do a nice minimal Audigy installation on the "Logic- friendly" version that you use for sequencing, and load all the logic- phobic Creative stuff like the Playcentre Jukebox (for MP3 conversion) onto the second OS copy. Worst-case scenario, you can then record into Wavestudio from SPDIF with your PC in "non-Logic" mode, then boot back to the Logic partition to import the file into logic. [Erk]

Hey, Just wondering if some one could answer a logic tracking question? Can I record more than 8 tracks of audio with a 8 track mixing console? My mixer is a Tascam tmd-1000 connected digital Thanks, Brad

Is there a quick way to put audio into notation. The MIDI is okay, I just need a little help with the audio? Thanks again, Brad

Still not quiet enough to move it back into the studio (it is in an equipment room). My old 8500 with a G3 card is *very* quiet compared to the recent stuff. Oh well . . . -adam

>No matter how I try I cannot get this to work on my G4 with 5.5. >Has anyone got this working? I use it religiously with version 5.5 as it makes it super easy to see what section you are one (I have specific colors for specific song sections types ). My procedure is pretty much same as Colin's though. I open the edit marker text window, then press command (apple) key and while holding it down click on a color in the color pallet (opt+c). Colin Miller

>It's not a bug and so far 6.0 looks like it won't change anything. I asked at NAMM if it was addressed. The answer was no, it's just how Logic is set up to use one processor for MIDI, the other for audio. I don't have a DP, so I don't know much about this area. Would be nice if they someday made an option to optimize logic for yours particular use (a mode to split the processors evenly, or split like it is now). Colin Miller

Hello! When recording audio in cycle mode, for every new cycle a new trackrow is created and the former cycles "audioregion" is automatically muted. Is it possible to have this behaviour with midi? regards Mikael Adle

The Multi-Processor option that should be at the bottom of the Audio Drivers prefs page is gone. Where did it go? Is it right in front of my face??? Help.
