I haven't had any problems with folders but the mixer window came up all screwed. The meters appear offset against the channel strip, and the buttons arn't where the graphics say they are. The second problem was that logic wouldn't let me drag any windows onto my second monitor, they would just lock against the right side of my left hand monitor. The third was a big white rectangle over my arrange page, I'm pretty sure it was a preference pane of some description as i was then unable to close any windows (plugins and arrange.) Couldn't quit and in the end had to force quit from the apple menu (as OSX thought logic was still running fine.) A full reboot solved my problems, as I hope it does for you, Mike

Thx very much mate worked like a dream..............

Weirdly, that closes the window and gets it to the Canopus every time for me. It appears you can't have both that window and the Canopus, and simply clicking the triangle doesn't seem to do it. Double clicking on the movie display itself does. James

Keeps coming back too, but not all the time. Did it come back when you rebooted, first of all? Does it do the same thing if you create a new session and load the same samples? That sounds like a corrupted session. But it could also be that you don't have "virtual memory" - disk streaming - turned on in the EXS, and larger samples than you think are getting loaded into RAM. I haven't looked at it in Logic 8 yet, but it should be under the Options button on any EXS. If it was turned on and the problem comes back in another session - and as George Leger says, you've confirmed in Activity Monitor that you're not running out of RAM (which I don't think for one minute, because it won't let you load that much) - then I'd suggest reinstalling everything. This is not normal, and something could be corrupted. Or I suppose you could have some bad RAM, which you can determine by running the hardware test CD...I think. Does one of those come with Mac Pros? If not you can find free utilities. But that usually causes big crashes, not bizarre messages like that one.

Hi all! I have a problem that I have not been able to figure out how to do yet. One of my clients would like to have their song change tempo gradually over time. For example, say they have a 5 minute piece that is recorded at 120. They would like to be able to take that song and stretch it out to say 10 minutes and have the tempo be at say 95 at the 10 minute mark. My first thought was time stretch however, they want the tempo to change gradually during the 10 minutes. One of their pieces is all midi tracks, another is mixed between midi and audio tracks and yet another one is just audio tracks. I only mention this as I am not sure if the procedure changes depending on the type of tracks that you have. I am no expert in Logic so I apologize if this is an elementary procedure. Thanks! Michael.

Thanks John! 1. I've tried the Note Force Legato, and all the notes do get closer to each other, but still there's a small gap between 2 notes... Also I wonder how to let logic be: when you write a note in score, this note is exactly the length you wrote in the piano roll. 2.Well, 'stop ' I mean rests, if you set the staff styles to be 4 voices, and at bar 1 you're having 2 voices in your score, everything is fine. but since bar 4 you'll only have 1 voices,so the other voice part are full of rests sign, which is very ugly and also confuse performer. Is there any way to change the voices number in different bars? Thanks again!

I'm rebuilding my autoload in L8 and, even though I have "Protect Cablin/Positions" on in the environment, selecting and deleting an audio track in the arrange page, deletes both the track, and its channel strip in the mixer. WTF, how are you supposed to delete arrange tracks now without destroying the mixer? Anyone have any ideas on this? thanks Michael Brook

Given that I've FINALLY had time to sit down and just play with the features of Logic8, instead of just working with what I already know to finish existing projects, I'm curious about the new compressor emulations. I know they say they replicate various vintage compressor types - opto, FET, VCA, etc...but not actually having access to racks of vintage gear I don't really know what defines those sounds. Can anybody clarify this a bit? -- ______________________ Eric Oehler wonko@nulldevice.com www.nulldevice.com

Go to project settings and uncheck "automatic track management" or something to that effect (don't have logic in front of me to check). Best, Andy

I've tried the Note Force Legato, and all the notes do get closer to each other, but still there's a small gap between 2 notes... Note Force Legato makes the note one tick shorter than the full value of (for example) a 1/4 note. The reason for this is that a MIDI device will be confused if you play the same note twice in a row and it sees the note-off for the previous note coming at the exact moment that the note-on for the next note comes. You should not hear one tick, so don't let it bother you that it's not a full 1/4 note! > 2.Well, 'stop ' I mean rests, if you set the staff styles to be 4 voices, and at bar 1 you're having 2 voices in your score, everything is fine. but since bar 4 you'll only have 1 voices,so the other voice part are full of rests sign, which is very ugly and also confuse performer. Is there any way to change the voices number in different bars? Hmm. Not sure what kind of performer won't need rests to count when to come back in again, so I'm guessing that you mean for one performer to be playing both voices, is that right? If you create one track with the 'main' voice (the one that goes all the way through) and a second track with a region that's just 4 bars long with the 'second' voice on it, then when you show the arrangement as conductor's score (double-click somewhere away from the staff on you score) it should show as you would like it. As always, with score, it may take some fiddling around to get it just the way you want it. HTH Sonny Keyes Ricochet Audio Toronto

Other reasons maybe but not this one. If Logic fails to allocate undo/ clipboard memory with any memory amount that meets minimum specifications, it's a bug. :) I did a heavily orchestrated piece with virtual instruments only on my macbook with 1gb. Just had to freeze some tracks to make it work. Yeah more memory is nice, but that certainly has nothing to do with this particular problem. Maurits.

Does Logic have anything like a midi file export that can drop the composer's tempos and meters into a recording session prior to live musician recording. The producer, engineer of a live orchestra session wanted a TEMPO MAP or midi map from me, but I can't see how to do what they want. They say that Digital Performer does a tempo map allowing the engineer to navigate within the session. This is what I did : In Logic, -saved my document under a new name (used the smpte numbers in the window of the mini QT I used in logic, as they were 2 bars prior to frame 1/start of music) -deleted all tracks except an instr one -put in a bar of some wood blockish sound and extended it to end of the music -kept that instr selected -stretched the green bar at top from beginning to end of music -file, export as midi Is this anything like the Digital Performer tempo map ? Many thanks for replies

How can I save and open MIDI channel strips? Olushola

This was done on purpose to avoid note overlapping. I don¹t know how you can change it, but a quick fix would be after entering all notes, go into the piano roll, select all, and then adjust one note to full length. This will adjust all the notes to full length. Maybe someone else know if this behavior can be changed. Sorry, I can¹t help with your second question. Hans

No, you had it right Dennis. - Sorry not come back to you, been out of the country for a while. I tried what you said and then tried opening the resulting .wav file with Windows Media Player in order to burn to CD. Everything seemed to go ok, but when I replayed the file in Media Player all that came out was an initial click and then silence. I thought all .wav files were compatible with Media Player? Am I missing something?

Hi luggers, I have been reading with interest the posts about problems with this feature. I am not sure if what I will say is totally right, but this is what it seems like to me.... Logic will only export whatever audio is selected and assigned to outs 1-2, and will place it at the point in the quicktime movie that is at bar 1 beat 1. Perhaps this is why people have been having offset problems? It's silly, you don't seem to be able to have a period of silence at the beginning of the movie (i.e. if your movie starts before the sequence does), unless you insert a silent audio region in your sequence and start your movie at bar 1 beat 1....but if the sequence has lots of tempo changes, etc., it's a drag to have to do this...!!!! I find this really inconvenient. It is a very good feature that could be great with a bit more explanation in the manual, and even more useful with choice of parameters, ex. which outs, from bar where to where, etc.... I played with this for quite a while to get it to work for me.... Hope this helps, Scott

I purchased Logic 8 today, running on OS 10.4.11 , dual G5 , 4.5 gig ram and the Logic 8 update. What on earth is going on with the CPU ? I've read bits here and there but nobody has offered a reason or cure that I can see. I can run a song in Logic 7 which will reach about 50% on the System performance meter yet if I play it in Logic 8 its in the red and either crashes or is full of audio dropouts. Its just one core doing most of the work too ...and not doing it very well by all accounts. Is there a way to fix this ? I dont want to freeze tracks, use nodes or any other things I bought a G5 not to have to do. What a ridiculous problem to release a major update with ??? Please tell me I haven't just wasted my money because I've had to revert back to Logic 7 to be able to write as normal. thanks Paul

Does anyone else have this? Logic 8. When I am going back and forth between the arrange and the piano roll, or sometimes editing in the piano roll window, the position within the window jumps around to a new location for no apparent reason. It usually goes to the bottom or the beginning of the scroll bars location and I can't figure out why.
