I have noticed when freezing an instrument track with an EXS24 instance inserted, the resulting freeze file is totally out of sync with the rest of the song. There are no latency inducing plugins inserted in the track. Other instruments such as BDF, FM7 are all totally cool when frozen, only seems to occur with EXS24. Anyone experience anything similar or can point me in the right direction greatly appreciated. G4 800Mhz Powercore Logic Pro 7.01

I can't bounce down any midi tracks i have created(with my other real audio tracks) ...is there a way, within Logic(logic 5 plat.), to convert my midi tracks to real,usable,bounceable audio?? I create drum tracks within hyperedit with Gm kit, and i can't bounce down any of it. I would certainly appreciate the help. On a side not, i am getting alot of PC-AV overload errors...any suggestions on fixing that. I am running win 98se,, and logic is the only program i use on the machine. Thanks for your help.

I just did the same upgrade and it went fine. Contact Mike at Spectrasonics - info@..., and he'll help you sort it out. I had a problem converting REX files. We tried everything, and the solution that did the trick was to uninstall RMX (use the DVD to run the uninstaller) then do a clean install. If you have any REX conversions that took a long time to create, remove them from the (you)/library/application support/spectrasonics/Sage/Sage Libraries/User Libraries and/or Exp libraries. Just drag them to the desktop to avoid having to redo the hours of conversion. When all is well with the fresh install, do the upgrade to 1.2.1, open an instance in Logic (if the AU thing works). If all goes well, close Logic then drag the REX stuff back to the above location. Best, James

I upgraded my service recently, but just to higher amperage. I have my studio on a couple of separate AC lines, but it's still coming from the same telephone pole as the rest of the house. Does there have to be something special in the circuit to get clean electricity, some kind of conditioner or something? Everything is on UPS, but I'm not sure the UPS conditions the current in any way. I think it just keeps the voltage steady....or is that what is meant by "clean"? James

However, Furman has long offered a regulated power supply that I have had good experience with, and recently announced the release of a single rack space model that looks very promising (the older regulated supply was 4 spaces and weighs a ton! ). I have also had no problems with an ADC UPS 1000, and that's also something I recommend to my colleagues. HTH, Peace, Ed Billeaud Snowflake Studio

That's an _APC_ UPS, not ADC. Sorry. Peace, Ed Billeaud Snowflake Studio

That is a good tip, to my ear, apple loops usually sound better, but it does depend on the material.

Next time you will tell us, that Sculpture sounds better with electricity from the Hoover-barrage than driven by wind-generator-power from Amsterdam :-) But since I am interested in esoterics, could you explain what you really did? So far I understand you installed new circuits - some mystic alloy or usual cables? Which diameter? Ordinary fuses? Then you have an AC/DC box which makes the DC perfectly - hm - smooth. That's it and your computer and Logic cares about that? == Man, I would love to hear a comparison. No kidding! Is the difference only in your monitor boxes or can it be recorded? Peter Ostry

I know it's new and probably no one out there has one yet, but I'm just fishing for feedback. A friend of mine is considering buying a Mac Mini and LP7. I'm not entirely convinced that even a G4 1.4GB processor will run efficiently once he starts getting upwards of 24 audio tracks, using plug-ins on all tracks as well as audio instruments. I've been trying to convince him to go the G5 path because I believe it won't be long before his demands will outstrip what the Mac Mini can deliver. I dunno but having run a G4/733 with a gig of RAM using LP6, it wasn't long before I started seeing the dreaded 'beachball', And I wasn't even pushing it either. I've come to the conclusion that OSX was made for the G5 platform which is why I've gone that way....any thoughts??

No news for you ;-) If you want a solution not only for today and you do not know Retrospect, get the trial of the smallest version, called "Desktop" at http://www.dantz.com "...for one local Apple Macintosh desktop or notebook and two other networked desktop or notebook running Macintosh, Microsoft Windows, or Red Hat Linux computers." That is backup software. It does not only your "defragmenting" without loosing permissions and authorizations but makes a loud cry never happen: "Help, I lost all my songs!"

John, thanks again. It seems that even though the marker list was closed, Logic still remembers that I had a marker highlighted, and so it was nudging this as well. That's also why the behaviour was intermittent! You're right, you have to de-select the marker before you close the window. I also got the global tracks going, too., so now I know what's going on. (key commands were ok) Thanks so much for clearing this up for me! Time for me to plunge into the L7 manual...! Best regards, Ken

As most of you know, I have been having major problems with my Digi002R with Logic due to the coreaudio driver. So I have decided to add a second audio interface to use with Logic. I have a Powerbook 1ghz and need a good firewire interface to track 8 channels at a time minimum. I had a 828MKII before and had good results and great operation, but am wondering from this group, what other interfaces people have had good luck with. I have heard really good things about Metric Halo, and RME. Could you all give me some advice before I buy. I am looking for the best quality converters I can get for around a $1000. Adat and SPDIF are nice to haves for me as I mostly track through my preamps and outboard via balanced analog. Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------- Matt The Boombox United www.boomboxunited.com

I bought a used Furman AR 1220, which is a 120 voltage regulator and surge protector. I plug everything into the unit since everything in my studio takes less than 20A. The sound difference was truly amazing. I have since added Acoustic Treatment, Elite B24 panels & LENRD Bass Traps to my room, calibrated it to the Motion Picture standard, well as good as possible with a $125 SPL meter. I also fixed the monitoring, no sound interference between monitors and listening position all centered in room and listening position at vertex of equilateral triangle with sub centered firing behind me. I spent so much money on plugs, AUs, VSTs, audio interfaces, and computers, but doing just these things will make a truly unbelievable difference, esp. if you are a tweaker and like to produce, mix, and semi-master all in one place. It is almost impossible to do a good job without considering some of the above things, noticed I said almost. ;) I do understand it is all about a reference system, but it is easier for beginners, including myself, to mix/master in as good a room as possible. I highly recommend Bob Katz book. Paul

Defrags files and completely separates empty space from used space vs. file defrag which just makes sure each file is not fragmented and cares nothing about the free space vs. used space issue. Paul

Ahh, one thing related to this: L7 also remembers if you have selected a tempo change in the tempo change window even if you closed it. So if you nudge a region, you may accidentally nudge a tempo change! Therefore, that explains my "error while sychronizing audio to midi messages" that ALSO occured when my markers where moving around! A little dangerous, this Logic 7...I'll have to check all my recent L7 songs for wrong tempo markers... Ken

Hi Robin , Look here http://community.sonikmatter.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t8032.html it's the only other method that will help . Martin "First, make sure your system is set to allow Windows to manage the swap file. (in Control Panel > System > Advanced > Settings) Then go to Start -> Run, type "msconfig". Click the boot.ini tab. Click 'Advanced Options'. Tick 'MaxMem', and in the box type "1024" (no quotes). When you click Ok to leave msconfig you will be prompted to reboot.

I've recorded a 3 part harmony and I would like to bounce the three parts down to one and repeat the process several times. What is the best way to do this in Logic 7. Mucho thanks, JP

That's if you want to keep EQ and comp, etc. If you want to just blend, try the glue tool.
