Not fun. I was wondering if it was a Logic 8 thing because it seems a firewire audio interface is the recommended way to go. I am not sure if that was part of the recommendation for Logic 7 or 6. Hmm.... Thanks though. That'll help in the digging... Michael

Anyway separately processing the sides of a stereo file is something I am wanting to do *all* the time so it does not look too esoteric to me. An example of when I want to do it: A guy I record *all* the time likes to record both the internal pickups of his acoustic guitar and a live mic. We use totally different processing on either side of the guitar some times we even go for a full on distorted electric sound on line side and an nice sweet acoustic sound on the mic side. I accomplish this now by keeping them in mono files on separate tracks but it would be really nice if they could be together as a stereo file so that when I am doing a lot of editing of the guitar track the two sides stay locked together without me having to consciously attend to keeping them together all the time. > Ah, but anyone afflicted (like myself) with the habit of recording > a vocal and guitar track together as the song bed track (in an > attempt to find emotional and timing authenticity sometimes lacking > in dubbed projects), and wishing to process the vocal mike side > separately from the guitar mike side, will want this.

Is it possible to DL a demo of speaker phone. Maybe one with just a few of the speakers. I am primarily interested in the guitar speaker simulations.

Using Motormix and Logic 6, I can mute/solo Audio tracks and Instrument tracks, So does anyone know why I can't mute or solo midi tracks? Or is there a top secret button that I'm missing?

Hi, Paul wrote: >Steven, why don't you just record onto two mono tracks? Why would you >interleave a vocal mic & guitar mic? Dennis mostly answered this, but at risk of adding too much detail, here's a bit more: I also make composites in order to create the original bed track(s), not just later for dubs. Characteristically between three and six performances of the song (vocal+guitar), each take done free with no metronome; all in one session so all mic and level and other context variables are the same. And the timings are all over the map (within reason; the main variance is that I tend to speed up slowly over the sequence of takes). So, while building the composite from these takes, the transitions of vocal and guitar *both* have to match well between the composite chunks; and also I have to do a fair amount of stretching or squashing of sections to get the timings to be acceptable. So I find it's easier to be moving around single stereo regions and cutting and pasting and comparing and listening to them, than pairs of mono regions (which are easy to accidentally get out of sync, and which make a stack of 10 regions on my screen versus 5 stereo regions when I'm comparing 5 takes; 10 regions is too many for my short-term memory to keep track of; 5 I can handle, sometimes. :-) ). Later when that's all done, as I was saying in the earlier post, I copy the resulting composite master onto 2 different tracks and use different effects etc. for further tracking and mixing. I suppose I could actually split them at that point, but occasionally I need to go back and revise a section, and so it seems easier to have the same system in place right through the process so I can do that sort of edit without having to change the file format. I'm not saying this is the best way to approach this problem. But when I started doing this about 12 years ago, I was just barely on the Internet, didn't know what a mailing list was, and didn't have a nice group of knowledgeable people to ask, so I just more or less fumbled along, finding things that seemed to work and abandoning things that seemed to didn't. :-) Steven Rowat

Hmm. Well I guess that is a bit of a problem for the purposes of this group buy unless they are planning to address the issue within next week or so innit?

I like snap to format. The saved template reverts back to snap to smart on re-open. I like the tool that activates with the command key to be the velocity tool. It always reverts back to zoom or pencil tool (or whatever). A very useful page, I love it but I do have to go in and reset all my defaults every time I start Logic. James

hi does the speakerphone purchase allow a license that you can use on either pc or mac? thanks rsp

I have a trouble that when I record my voice in Logic 8. If i have an effect on the voice track it seems like what I am hearing back is not in the same time as when I sing, that way i have a hard time matching them to the beat when I am recording. I can turn of the realtime recording monitor, but I really like to hear back the quailty or volumn to make sure it is right. Can anyone hellp me? -j

Best method for cross-platform use would be to authorize via iLok, which can then be moved freely between any number of computers.

Dennis, if it is a help, along with the Demo Video (which IMO explains speakerphone very well) you can D/L the 67 page manual here: http://www.audioease.com/Pages/Speakerphone/speakerphone_manual.pdf kind regards Mark Cahill

I can just never tell any other way.

To me the sentence also implies that there isn't going to be a demo version at all, just more demo recordings and videos. (But there are some already there). Maurits.

Sounds like you're having a quite high buffersize selected in your audio driver settings. Low (or even extremely low) buffer sizes, resulting in low latency, are crucial for any kind of recordings done via software monitoring. Try to lower the buffersize to the smallest amount possible without running into crackles or such, then have a try whether the problem goes away. Regards Sascha

does the kurzweill transmit active sensing? if so, you could try switching it off on the kbd if there's a switch, or filter it at the logic end? peter

The fabulous Dr device plug-in has got a x-y control pad on its GUI that looks like the kaoss pad. dragging the mouse sets "x" and "y", mouseclick down/up sets the "z" parameter. Assignment of left x and left y was no problem, i just moved my finger on the kaoss pad and midi learn worked. But z destination is more difficult, apparently - nothing happens at all... How should I set the controller assignment in logic? On the controller assignment window I set "value change" by typing "BD 5C Lo7", below it says "Control Change Ch 14, 92, Lo7". This seems to be correct, touch on/off is CC92 on channel 14 - but it doesn't work... "Value" is: min/max = 0/127 Format = unsigned Multiply = 1 Modus = switch (or toggle? I don't know the correct English translation for all this, just guessing)

It's great to see a Group Buy from Audioease. I've looked at Rocket Science before but I've always thought it was too expensive. I'll be picking it up now for sure. Along those lines, I would really love to see AltiVerb in the group buy. I've always wanted it, but thought it is a bit too expensive to stomach with Space Designer included in Logic. Is there any chance of them adding AltiVerb to the Group Buy for those of us who don't already have it? Thanks, Matthew

Okay, I've found out it only happens to one snare track I want to trigger. I don't know what's different between this and the others I've already triggered. I'll just try to change it.

I have altiverb but since Space Designer does everything altiverb does why do you need altiverb .
