I have a small problem and I trust someone will have a simple solution. I have just installed the Extreme HipHop Samples and Sampler Instruments from original emagic CD's. When I try to load them into the EXS24MkII within Logic, I get the following error message: "the format of this file is unkown or the file is corrupt". I have attempted to load the exs instruments via the sample editor but they appear empty. The Extreme HipHop Cd reads (exs24/exsp24). Do the exs sampler instruments need to be converted for the MKII? I am using Logic Audio Platinum 6.3.3 on MAC OSX 10.3.2. Thanks

How do I setup a pitch bend so I bend it to a desired pitch (note)? If I am playing a Bflat and I want to bend the pitch 1 semitone down to A or maybe 3 semitones, etc.. Paul

John, It is actually not really a "docking" feature, but I know what you mean by using that term. It is actually something that you have to MAKE appear, rather then "dock"..... All you have to do is go into the local VIEW menu (that is the smaller menu above your arrange area, and not the larger, main menu up top) and then CHECK "Transport" in there. There ya go! To resize the area of where the embedded transport appears (as some of the display parameters could be hidden), just hover your mouse over the cross-sectional area where the arrange area, track list, and time line all meet. In that CORNER right there, if you hover over it with your mouse you will see a little cross-hairs like thing appear.... Just click and drag to resize the embedded transport view. Chris M.

Everywhere I look in the multiplicity of manuals, it states that the arpeggiator function must be mapped to a MIDI instrument. Why then are there places in the software instrument listings, ES1, EXS24 and others, that have "ARP" as behind their preset name if it's not intended to be in arpeggiation? Or is trying to refer to the classic ARP synthesizer? Which is related to the question of how to arpeggiate a software instrument (?), if possible. Inquiring minds want to know. John Lee

Hi everyone, I had a very bizzare situation happen yesterday. I haven't discovered what caused the the problem though. Here's what happened. Wednsday, I downloaded the Beta 1.9 but didn't install it. Thursday I ran software updated for my dual 1gig Quicksilver mac to update my OSX Panther software. However, when I launched Logic Platinum 6 and installed a MasterX5, my meters which are normally green and yellow were completely showing white. I tried to "Refresh Audio Unit Plugins" from the 1.8 installation file but nothing changed. Tried reinstalling permissions and repairing permissions but it didn't correct the problem. However, my MachFive AU, and my Oxford EQ disappeared. When I tried to reinstall them, I would get a white splash screen that only said continue. I'm not sure what may have caused the problem either the 1.9 Beta or the OSX updates that were installed. It forced me to reinstall my OSX Panther software. I then ran software update again to update OSX Panther but stopped at the latest Security Update, iSynch Update. I'm wondering if the latest Security Update gave me a problem alsol. Upon doing this Panther created a "Previous Systems" folder that I was able to copy my AU plugins and PowerCore plugins to there perspective places of my new OSX install. I also had to reinstall my 2408MKII's PCI-424 AU driver and MOTU USB driver for my MidiTimepiece USB AV. All is well again. Anyone else experience this madness? Randy

One or two in unopened boxes. You might want to keep an eye on for there. As you probably already know...only the current owner can go to Logic and transfer registration.

I recently installed Stylus on a G5 dual OS 10.2 running LAP 6.3.3. Immediately after installing, Logic began crashing whenever I tried to open autoload or any file that was created using it. Spectrasonics syas that autoload is corrupt (how'd that happen?) and that I must trash it. My question is: Is there a wasy to keep my environment? I'd hate to have to redo all of those patch lists etc. My second question is: Is there a way to save my midi tracks and reload them into new songs? Thanks, JP

You can also cable an arpeggiotor to a "sequencer input" object. In the arrange window you drop some recorded midi pads (midi part, region, sequence or whatever it's called) on the arpeggio track. Start Logic and then the arpeggio will play through whatever track/sound you select. Good for trying out which softsynth preset is working best for a certain arpeggio.

Has anyone seen this: I enter some text in the score window. If I select it and go to <Text> menu / <Size> and try to increase the size, it changes fonts, not size! This used to work in OS9 but seems broken now in OSX (LAMP 6.3.3) Regards - Colin

Well, if your intent is to sum analog, you'll have a higher s/n ratio in the analog domain. You probably know this, if so, it's for everyone else: routing a full scale signal into a console means you'll be turning the input trim way down on your console's input strip, which is a vastly better idea than feeding your console a soft signal (such as it might be if you were summing 'in the box' then simply routed it to dedicated outputs) and using the console's gain as makeup, which will add some amount of noise, potentially a lot. And then there's the camp who say that the more you pull back a digital fader, the more damage you do to the signal. I personally believe that's the legacy of math from a bygone era, YMMV. > You should practice proper gain staging on ALL platforms. Wasn't that what he was suggesting? u b i k

You can copy midi tracks from older songs by simply dragging the tracks from song to song. ...open instance of song with track to be copied...open song to be copied to... Select and drag (or use copy/paste commands) track or part of it into new song to predetermined track and position. Once it's there you can manipulate it like any other. Pay attention to things like tempo changes and non-destructive changes. Normalize the tracks before copying for instance. Make sure the track parameters are the same as original or whatever you want the copied track to now be. Hope this helps. Craig

You need to download something called XS Key .DMG file at the same emagic download site. A little thing no one ever told me either. Give it a try. Jim

MIRRORED drives give you data redundancy/failure tolerance but at the cost of write performance. No software RAID mirror can give you excellent write performance and therefore excellent overall I/O with audio applications although it can certainly be adequate for your needs. Claims of increased write performance are sometimes achieved with buffering but that will actually decrease your sustained write performance. STRIPED drives give you NO DATA REDUNDANCY at all. Nada. Of course you get a boost to I/O performance out of it but not usually a huge boost. For AV applications software RAID *generally* (YMMV) is a great backup solution but a poor primary AV drive solution. And, Chuckie, if you do decide to make do with software mirrored drives then attach them to different cables so the I/O load is less. Don't put the two RAID drives on the same ATA chain because, esp. if you get high throughput drives, you'll max out the channel with one drive's data. The same applies to firewire drives too: if you spread the load across different channels/busses/slots you'll see a noticeable improvement. Slainte, -ck

hello, a simple question: i'm using a Akai XE8 Drum expander (old-skool i know!) which i have programmed to use the GM drum map to match my MPC2000 - ie Kick-1 = 36 (C2), etc. However the weird thing is that when i play a C2 in Logic (shows up as C2 in Transport, and my XE8 Mapped Instrument), it is reflected in the XE8 as midi note 48. I've set up a transformer to subtract 12 from the note number, but I'm just wondering if this is because of some kind of preference or something relating to older MIDI kit? afaik the XE8 itself isn't set to transpose or anything, and neither is my arrange track... also, only the XE8 is affected, not my other synths... best regards, charlie

Y'know, I knew Logic was streamlining their product line and figured out that all of the stuff in the old "Big Boxes" that were separate components, were now being rolled into one product. Some time after I made the install and did the codes, I opened the System Prefs and saw a new item just for managing the key. I opened it up and saw that I was also authorized for Logic 6 Gold...but I didn't believe it. So, last night I download and install Logic 6 Gold...and wala!...I now have a bunch of Undo's...and whatever else Logic Gold offers and it's authorized also. I dunno man..I'm really impressed with this Logic company. Nice folks giving me the nice upgrades. I know it won't go on forever for it sure is a great way to get started. Impressive. John Lee

I'm running Logic Platinum 6 under OS X. I've tried rtfm, but I have several issues I can't seem to resolve: 1) Under File/Song Settings/Synchronisation Settings/MIDI there are two boxes for sending MIDI clock (F8). Each box pull down menu listing "off", "ALL", and each of the eight ports of my AMT8. While it should have settings for each port so it could send clock to any combination of ports if it actually worked, it doesn't. Selecting any of the individual ports is meaningless. If I either box is set to anything but "off", it sends clock to all eight ports. Not only does this include ports that do not have any devices designated to receive MIDI clock in CoreMIDI, but ports that are completely empty with no devices at all!! Is there any way to fix this?? 2) Even though the documentation says that CoreMIDI and the Environment are sychronized, changes made in the Environment or in CoreMIDI do update each other, even after restarting. Am I doing something wrong?? 3) How can I make Aliases appear differently from Real objects in the arrange window (like "Ghost Parts" in Cubase)?? 4) How can I time lock a MIDI track?? I want record events at one tempo, then lock the track so it play back at that tempo even if I change the tempo in the Transport Window for all the other tracks in the song. (This is very easy to do in Cubase -- each track has this little padlock icon).
