On drum tracks, I sometimes want to send a track out through my mixer (Mackie d8b) to outboard analog compressors and then back in, mixing the compressed track with the uncompressed. I know that the round trip latency out and back in to the d8b is 82 samples, and want to take the newly recorded compressed track and simply move it back 82 samples so it lines up with the previously recorded tracks. I looked in the manual and it appears I can only do this from the sample edit window (not from arrange), but then the manual starting getting very obtuse, talking about anchors vs. start points and updating arrange vs. not, etc. Not a model of clarity. Can someone please tell me in plain English the easiest way to do this (other than using plugins which I know would solve the problem, but sometimes you just want that analog touch)? Thanks!

Set the sequence to quantize if you want or need it or quantize afterwards or use the legasto function (all of them sounds less human). Or tell your metronome to discuss the timing with Logic :) Peter Ostry

offset your non processed tracks with the Sample Delay plug in. if only the region delays were in samples ! or if audio objects had delays in samples on them (especially negative values)... Haven Siguenza Audio/MIDI Specialist Sales and Support www.macstation.com

Hmm, well two problems with that. First, it will take up some cpu especially if I've got several dozen other tracks. Second, my other drum tracks are samples played through EXS-24, so they exist as MIDI data, rather than audio. I didn't think you could apply the sample delay on those, or can you?

Please help. I can't get any virtual instruments in Logic 6.4.2 using Pro Tools Accel 3 Hardware and a HD 192. Everything else works. Mac OSX = 10.3.3 and I downloaded Digi's latest core driver.

Consider something else. The EMIs are only USB1, therefor hogging the CPU quite a bit more than modern interfaces. Also, the plugs aren't symmetric (but you may not need symmetric lines for a card in that range). Converters IMO sound good, but there's better things on the market. > oh yeah, money is not really a concern, however im not looking to > spend thousands of dollars on an audio interface. How many ins and outs do you exactly need? 6 ins usually aren't enough to properly record a drumset, so all one could do is, say, route some synths into it (well yes, there's other purposes for sure, but I wouldn't happen to know which). In case 4 Ins are enough I'd consider something líke the M-Audio Quattro USB - at least something not using outdated hardware. - Sascha > > thanks, > shea > > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > > Logic Users Group - http://www.logic-users.org/ListPolicy.html > Logic FAQ: http://logicfaq.omega-art.com/ > **** Search through all 160,000+ messages (thanks Gmane!): **** > http://search.gmane.org/?group=gmane.comp.audio.emagic.logic.users > _________________________________________________________________ > > Yahoo!

I'm also a member of the Opcode user's list (still using the wonderful studio vision pro after all these years). All of us on that list are always thinking about what we'll use next. Dave Oppenheim, who Opcode was named after has been working on midi implementation for Digidesign ever since Opcode's demise. It's rumoured amongst the well connected that Pro Tools 6.5 will have much improved midi implementation. At present it's 6.4. I suppose if your friend needs to get things done this week, waiting is not an option but 6.5 should come soon as 6.4 has already been out for a while. Of course we will have to wait to see how good the midi is. I've personally got my ear to the ground as I'd much prefer a Vision-like app. Andris

Unless I'm mistaken, with Panther the situation is that a single application can't access more than 2GB of memory (even though there can be more than that in the system itself and visible to OSX). Tiger probably will help there, but since it's a little way off, that's not what I'm wondering about now. Does anyone know or has anyone tried whether AU plugins in Logic would be treated as separate apps in this regard? For example, if you had a software sampler taking up 2GB, could you simply load another one and use another 2GB with it, provided you have the RAM?

Hi there I've been trying to automate softsynth parameters in Logic Express 6.4 using a MIDI controller (Novation ReMOTE 25). I've found some really good info in the Logic-User archives, and elsewhere on the net, about building "Transformer" objects in the environment to convert CC movements into Logic's Fader format. I can't find these "Transformer" objects in the environment's "New" menu, so I'm assuming they're not included in Express. Is this the case, or am I missing something? Is there a workaround? Am I being a donut? Can I really not use hardware faders with Logic Express? Any info or help appreciated. Thanks. Jim

I got one last spring and have had no problem with it. the only issue is that if you want to use all the i/os at onnce, it will only do 16 bit. I think that is a limitation of the usb1 spec though. i still have never heard how emagic does 8 channels over usb.

Hi, I just got Logic pro for my Mac. I believe I've got everything set up correctly, but don't know where to start as far as composing. Can anyone suggest books, training, or methods that will get a novice up to speed with using Logic as efficiently as possible. I could grind through the manual, section by section, but has anyone found a better way to start using the program efficiently. Thanks

In Logic the instrument windows and the transport and some others all default to opening as floating windows which means they go away when you are using another app - as you're experiencing. The good news is that in typical Logic fashion there is a cryptic option to allow you to open whatever window in whatever mode suits your workflow. Hold down cmd-opt while you open the window. Drag-and-drop away. -ck

I'm a Pro Tools user considering switching to Logic for MIDI work. Question on quantizing in Logic: I am looking for a Quantize feature that will preserve the feel of MIDI drum parts (recorded with drum pads) that contain grace notes, flam, stick bounce and other cases where a single "hit" actually consists of multiple notes very close together. I'd like a Quantize function that would consider all notes within a user-specified range of each other to be grouped together (as a single hit) such that all notes in that group would be moved the exact same amount. In other words, it would quantize the highest velocity note in the group and then move all the other notes in the group the same amount. This would be useful to preserve feel on a piano part where all the notes of a chord do occur at the exact same time. So... can Logic do this?

Then, when the limitations of that become apparent (1 control at a time) ... try LC Xmu. See my signature. I have a beta available for registered LC Xmu owners that works around the R25's lack of "real" endless rotaries, so emulating Logic Control v-pots _is_ currently possible with the R25. I was recently contacted by Novation, so it's possible the R25 rotary-situation may be improved in future too.
