If you mute a track in the environment, the plugins of that track will stop using cpu power. If you mute a track in the arrange window, the audio data of the track won't be read from the disk so you'll save disk i/o bandwidth. Maurits.

Hey all, I use Logic Express and when you open up a recording template it automatically has a Bus send on each channel with a little mix knob, going to an Effect (i.e Reverb). However, when i dont use templates and manually start a Logic Project the channels do not have these Bus sends. I just want to know how to create them myself? Im ashamed that after all this time i still cant even figure out how to create my own bus sends! *blushes* Thanks, Steve.

It saves CPU power. If you are working with Midi, using aliases saves CPU as well and making sure that the majority of your plugins are applied to AUX's if you want the same thing on multiple tracks is another way to conserve processing power. ~Ivan

Hi,Steve, I don't know if this will work for you as I use Logic Pro,but here's what I do-I simply select and move the master output channel strips to the right to make some space,then I click+opton+drag the last bus to the right-the standard copy technique.Then in the track parameter box (to the left of the mixer) there is a channel drop-down list where you can change the bus,and to rename it just click on it's name under the mixer (as it will carry the number of the bus you copied from) Best, Ivan

I have bought a ultralite motu.When i play back my originals that i have written before i get only one track playing.No,i haven`t forgotten to turn off the solo button. Or changed any of the setting.Has anybody had this problem with a new unit?thx

Hey- thank you very much- I'll give it a try.

I've been using the motu Traveler probelem free for a year-and-a-half. I'm running Logic 7.1.1 on OSX 10.4.10 on an iBook G4 I installed the Tranzport and fired up Logic just using the laptop hardware. It worked seamlessly. The problem is, i can't get them to work together - The traveler will handle audio I/O, and the Tranzport will show me measure numbers, meters and labels, but the Tranzport buttons have no effect on Logic when the traveler is hooked up. I even tried hooking up the tranzport first, starting logic, then connecting the traveler. I had the same result. ideas?

Rumor has it that there will be a new version of Logic soon, which is the reason for discontinuing the upgrade and breaking compatibility with GB. I'd definitely wait if you can, or dig around for a copy of the $49 update. You'd be kicking yourself if you spent $300 and another upgrade was announced as soon as you got it. On the apple support boards, someone reported getting a copy from apple by escalating through their support number up to a manager, when they made enough of a fuss apple finally gave in. Might be worth a try. Mike

I had the same result. For most Tranzport problems, Frontier recommends going to "control surfaces" under Logic prefs and clicking on "rebuild defaults". If this doesn't solve your problem, they recommend opening the set-up panel found in the above mentioned "control surfaces" panel. Delete the Tranzport icon then close and reopen Logic. One of these 2 steps has always worked for me when the Tranzport is acting squirrelly. JP

>create my own bus sends First create a new track, click-hold on the track name, then instead of selecting Instrument 1,2,etc. or Audio 1, 2, etc., select from the menu that says Bus 1, 2, etc. Once you've got a bus track you can select the plugin or plugins for that track (like reverb). On the other tracks, if you want all or part of their signal to go to the bus track, you click-hold one of the sends buttons on the channel strip and select which bus track to send to. Then you can dial up how much of that track's signal to send. Hope this makes sense. Btw, I'm new here. Hey folks.

brilliant! and easy too. working great now thanks James.

Hi, Recently I had a situation where I needed to paste the contents of one song into another. I need to paste at a specific position. However, either using copy-and-paste or drag-and-drop resulted in the tracks being pasted in at bar 1. I was not able to duplicate the problem with simpler songs, so maybe it was specific to this particular one (very long) song. However, in all cases automation was not copied. Any ideas? Mars

No, channelstrip mute is post-plugin, pre-send, and instantaneous. Try it with Logic's level meter (helper) plugin. > If you mute a track in the arrange window, > the audio data of the track won't be read from the disk so you'll > save disk i/o bandwidth. And free any CPU used by plugins on that channelstrip (for most plugins anyway). But there is some delay involved in muting/unmuting here.

Hi there, I have recently re-installed my operating system and subsequently logic etc because I was/am having kernal panic problems... However, my library of sounds is now not being recognised by the exs24! I have put the files in the samplers instuments folder as usual but they are not showing! They are AIFF files and worked fine before I had to reinstall tiger and logic etc! Have I miss placed some exs24 settings in the process and have to create new intrument settings for all my sounds?! Im at a bit of a loss and cant really see what Im doing wrong! Please help if you can! If I havnt explained things well enough then please let me know!! Many thanks James

Hi all ........I (and the band) currently have 3 controller keyboards, a drum pad triggering ultrabeat sounds and a micro-korg; all going into logic (on seperate channels) and each playing their own respective software synths by means of the "split demix by channel" function.......so far so good. My problem is that we have our first gig in 15 days and I need to set up the controller keyboards to change the sounds for each song.....My knowlege of Controlling Software synths is shady at best....so i came up with a less than ideal workaround for this a few days ago..... this entailed... (deep breath!)setting up all the synth sounds that we need for the gig on their own separate track (some twenty or so of them) then bypassing them all so as they all wouldn't play at the same time....I then set up a marker for each song and a "goto marker" command was set up on one of the controller keyboards to be able to change songs remotely........ie when I press button 8 of my controller keyboard, the spl jumps to marker 8 and the automation kicks in and all the relevant synths and sounds for song 8 are now "unbypassed" ....... ok should work in theory, but it doesn't............most of the newly "unbypassed" synths don't want to take to their incoming midi channel so it sounds like a really bad (or good!) eighties sci-fi film So the criteria are as follows! In fifteen days or less......! I need to be able to press a button (well maybe just a few!) on my controller keyboard and the synth will magically change from ....say a nice bubbly bass on an es1 to an other-worldly bell sound on the efm at the same time maybe, just maybe ,the drummer and guitarist might also be able to change their sounds......without needing from me a) guidance, b) constant reassurances or c) general mothering :) equipment.....m-audio oxygen, m-audio something(cant remember the name ...you kno the black jobbies with the blu screen) medeli-- cheapo drum computer (only sends midi on channel 10 for some reason) motu fastlane micro korg yamaha 01v96 running on mlan network logic 7.2.3 mac, intel, osx 10.4.10

Hi paul, i just had a eureka! moment from reading your message....... "1. By inserting a cable switcher between midi input and instruments and getting it to respond to incoming program changes you can direct your midi to any connected instrument or instruments you want. 2. By using the "Performance Preset" features Logic has available. You save a whole channel strip as a preset and these are selectable via incoming program changes." i like the idea of option two but any would do..............i'm trying to set this up for three of us (guitarist, guitarist and drummer) to play our own parts seperately..there would be no splits or layers.......we just need to be able to change sounds..........could you explain how i might practically go about cabling this in the environment many thanks jamie

Thanks,Eddie.Could you tell me what you mean by AMS settings and like what do i have to change, example on my Audio settings.thx

Well I have just bought my first home studio and logic express is the software I bought. I really love this software but I am kind of dissappointed with the effects for guitar. I play really heavy metal and I want to record with some real heavy effects and distortion. The metal distortions logic has are ok but nothing spectacular in the amp setting. I just wanted to know if it's possible to get more effects for logic somehow or what I should do if I want to get more effects.. Thanks, ryan

Hey everyone - thanks for all the replies. (sorry I didn't respond earlier - I thought I had it set to receive email notifications of replies, and since I didn't receive any, I didn't think anyone had answered!!! D'oh!) Lots of good info there. I've just been using the burn-in numbers for communication with the director and left Logic set at 24. I'll take a look at all your input again and decide if I should do it different for the next work print. (I just hate looking at two sets of numbers) Seems like Logic should come to the party and have a 23.976 rate, eh? Thanks, again, everyone!!! Desha

Why not put a Shure SM-57 in front of an old, loud and good Marshall cabinet and record the real thing? Much better than the fake software ones. Just my 2 cents.

There's a plugin that comes with LE called "bitcrusher" that produces a varying range of gnarly distortions. You might try that.
