In the past week, Logic has stopped recognizing my M-Audio Oxygen8 keyboard. I've tried everything I can think of to solve the problem, and i recently noticed that when i click on the MIDI In and MIDI Out section of the transport window (sometimes doing that gets it to rescan my ports and find my keyboard) it says either "No MIDI" or "Full Panic..." I've tried everything I can think of, including going back through the Logic setup assistant. none of it has helped. Any help on how to trouble shoot this problem would be greatly appreciated. Dru

If it's not going to work, any upgrade DVD will just tell you it can't find anything to update. So there's no risk to just putting the 7.2 DVD in and trying it. And you just move the Logic key to your MacBook when you want to start the program.

For newbies: Enable Global Tracks (Arrange window, <View> menu) Go to <Global Track Components> in the same menu and make sure that Marker and Video and checked. Open a movie and then click on the <Detect Cuts> button. If there are lots of cuts in the movie, a marker will be created for every cut. In the marker list, these all have the "movie" symbol next to them. They are all locked to SMPTE and will stay aligned to the movie if you change tempo. You'll see that the markers move if you change tempo. In this respect, it is very much like locking a marker to SMPTE position. <Set movie mode> simply changes a regular marker to a movie marker or vice versa . (Reset movie mode can turn one of these little creatures back into a normal marker) I'm not really sure if these movie markers have any other unique qualities.... Regards - Colin

Are there any users of the following Powerbook using Logic with an external hard drive ? 1.5Ghz / ! GB / 80 GB (about 18 gig left now). I'm thinking of getting a FireWire drive but looking into what the best options/specs might be and if anyone has experience of making use of a similar setup. Many thanks ! P.S. Native Instruments are running a special offer is anyone is interested: http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=niversaryoffers_us

It is possible......I took the time to set this up in my Autoload....the tip is from John Pitcairn. After you set it up,.... it's an easy job. Good Luck! Here's the link http://community.sonikmatter.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23257 DAVe

Help needed here...I only use Logic occasionally being a Digital Performer user. I'm needing to record a drummer in a Logic based studio and I'm wondering how people deal with multiple passes, in this case, of a drum kit assigned to 8 channels. In DP I assign 8 tracks for the first pass and then each subsequent pass is simply a new take on the same tracks. In Logic however if I do five passes - do I really need to assign 8 new channels per pass - meaning I have 40(!) tracks of drums in the arrange window ? What's the workaround here - folder tracks? Seems incredibly clumsy. Any help much appreciated - thanks Woody

Logic has no concept of "takes", or of layered region management in the Arrange. There's no built-in take-management like DP or ProTools. Folders is the usual way to handle this: Record pass 1, stop Pack folder Mute folder Repeat for remaining takes, using the same 8 channels each time. Unmute/solo/cut/comp folders as required Once you get used to the process, it's pretty fast, and lets you manipulate an entire multitrack take as a single Arrange object. Unpacking a folder is trickier, I forget whether "keep instrument" or "keep track" is the way to go to get things back out to the main Arrange (experiment). If you're cycle-recording your takes without stopping, you'll be left with a track order that isn't laid out for easy selecting of each take's tracks. I've written an applescript to handle that by naming and sorting the tracks - see my website's Logic section at http://www.opuslocus.com/logic/ John Pitcairn ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - LC Xmu Logic/Mackie Control emulation & management, LC Xview software LC/MC display, Logic environments & stuff...

I'm using a Formac FW800 dual-drive case connected to a LaCie FW800 cardbus card in my (FW400 only) TiBook. RME Fireface 800 is connected to the TiBook FW400 port. I have 80G Seagate and 160G Western Digital 7200rpm drives in the case, with the (noisy) internal fan removed and the case stood on end for better convective ventilation. This combination has been very fast, and very reliable. I highly recommend using a separate FW bus for the drive and audio interface if you're using FW audio. Note I often record to a partition of the powerbook internal 5400rpm drive anyway for easy portability (the drive is plenty fast enough), and use the external drive to hold projects in progress, moving the recorded audio to it later.

I have a perfectly gated, totally isolated, very clean kick drum. But i just don't like the sound of it. I've messed around with different EQs, compression in logic and the UAD plugins and I'm still not liking it. I want to swap it out for a midi Kick from my Battery 2 plugin but I'm having trouble using the audio to midi feature in Logic Pro 7.2. I'm getting an absolute mass of midi notes where I was expecting only one and they seem to have no relevance to the kick what so ever? Does anyone have experience of this feature and can tell me where I'm going wrong, or a better way to pursue it. I have lots of songs to do and would like to avoid drawing or playing every note in.

Depending on the number of tracks you're running to/from the FW drive, and the number of simultaneous I/O active on the FW audio interface, you might be OK with them both on the same controller/bus. The G5s are not noted for their stellar FW I/O performance. You have to try it. If not, you'd add a FW card to a PCI slot, though you might run into other issues with PCI bandwidth depending on what else is in use there.

Once in a while, like now, Native Instruments B4 Organ plays back as if it's transposed. When I play on my keys with the track selected it's OK. When I click on a note in a sequence, it's OK. However, when I play back the song it's in a different key (lower for now). Anyone know what that's about, and how to fix it? I run across it so infrequently I can't remember what to do. (I also experience the occasional software instrument dropout). I have all legal software. Eric logic 7.1.1 G5 quad (non-intel) OS 10.4.7

Thank you John So, when you've packed and muted the folder do the original eight track assignments remain on the arrange page - empty and ready for a new pass? Or do I need to reassign each time? Alternatively - Is it possible to record straight into a folder that I've pre-prepared. In other words, make a folder template for the drum assignments and keep on cloning a new folder for each pass. Is this viable? I know it's all a question of what one is used to, but I do find Logic very awkward in this type of scenario. Onwards, upwards, sideways and backwards. Very useful website you have there - thanks for pointing me to it. Regards Woody

Hi i use this feature a lot with Kick and snare...just play with the Drum Slow/fast etc until you get close...then set the notes to all the same one...there mat be a few grace notes to get rid of...als o u often gave to Select all and take the midi to its highest factor ... I line the Midi and Adio tracks next to eavh other on the arrange and zoom to check they're all right... I barely do a mix without it so keep going..it's a god send...not as quick as Sound Replacer but effective nonetheless.

Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on an very annoying problem... I'm using a G5 Power PC 2.0 Ghz Dual Processor and 2G RAM. I use Logic with Pro Tools Hardware (HD 192). Everything is hunky dory on a new song and after a day when the song has been built up to the point of mix down say 60 tracks, automation and a reasonable amount of plug-ins - Mostly all TDM though, Logic slows right down. It's mainly in the screen drawing area i.e.. Zooming/scrolling left and right (but not up and down strangely) and copying parts is painfully slow! I've tried the usual system stuff even a complete re-install of my system. I don't think this problem is due to heavy usage as I've tried deleting all automation, plug-ins and then tracks and the problem's still there in the song with nothing going! Please help me if you can!! Alex.

How about this: set up separate EQs on the track each with the unique settings you need. Then bypass them all, and just automate the bypass automation to selectively bypass/unbypass each one as needed. -------- Eli Krantzberg http://www.nightshiftorchestra.com Almat Productions

So long as bypassed plugins don't consume CPU power, (and I don't think they do) that's a fantastic idea! Thanks, Stuart-

Perhaps it is easiest to have each group on a new set of tracks? --- In logic-users@yahoogroups.com, "Stuart Holmes" <stumusic@...> wrote: > > I recently recorded a summer rock music daycamp's final perfromance > using Logic Express 7.1.1.

Greetings List! It's with great pleasure that I announce the release of a new collection of synth presets and percussion instruments for Logic Pro. I've included the press release below and there is a free downloadable demo which includes some killer new samples, patches, etc., all can be found over at www.OrwellDigital.com Cheers, Alex Aliferis admin@orwelldigital.com Orwell Digital Releases REAL_CONTROL Patch And Percussion Collection For Logic Pro New York, NY- Orwell Digital has released a new collection of instrument channel presets and percussion kits designed exclusively for use with Apple's Logic Pro software. This product delivers fifty pro-level synthesizer channel presets, all stored with full effects settings. Eleven drum kits, based on completely new, 24-bit stereo samples, are also provided. Every instrument preset has been programmed with seven carefully chosen MIDI controller routings so as deliver intense realtime control and sonic flexibility to the performer. The drums kits included with the REAL_CONTROL collection call on Orwell Digital's D.E.C.S. processing techniques to deliver a detailed performance experience. The D.E.C.S. process involves the use of re-synthesis to seperate percussion tones into their various internal components. These sub-sections are then re-combined based on the user's perfomance. The end result is a level of realism unavailable using traditional sample-playback techniques. So that users can experience this new collection for themselves without obligation, a special demo version of REAL_CONTROL is now available for free download. This package includes a varied selection of REAL_CONTROL patches and percussion, as well as a shorter version of the PDF-format patch guide which accompanies the full version. Special introductory pricing on the REAL_CONTROL Collection is now $29.99 when purchased on-line, through the Orwell Digital website at www.orwelldigital.com.
