So far running on 8GB instead of 10GB of RAM has not made any difference, and I am sadly waiting on some down time, before my warranty runs out, to reformat my system drive and the reinstall nightmare. I have different problems at various times, disk to slow(I have four separate 7200 Seagate drives installed), graphics redraw errors from the arrange page, out of memory,corrupted songs,midi sync errors,to name a few.I am still able to get through sessions with clients, but it's a battle on some days and I really don't see any performance gains over the PPC. Some here have suggested that there maybe issues using the migration assistant from PPC to Intel, I don't know? I just know I don't get the same bragging rights as others here who are running the same system as I am. I can only hope one day soon...... Good luck on your transition!

They're also waiving the upgrade fees until the end of the year—though I agree that asking any fee to maintain workability in a proprietary system is not cool, and Universal is already getting an earful over that one. ------------------------------------

In Logic Express 7 v.7.2.3 -accidentally hit something that muted all regions in an audio track (they are greyed-back) but I can still audition them in the Audio Window (mute buttons on the track and in channel strip and other displays all appear to be OFF) Thanks for any help.

Thanks... I'd hate to go buy one and find out the software can't find it. Gotta get a MAC but I'm happy with PCs Michael Warren

If I understand correctly, Nigel will not work on the UAD 2, but will continue to do so on UAD 1 - presumably running Version 5. It will be interesting to get the first user feedback both on V5 and UAD 2. I wonder who is prepared to test the waters :-) BTW, for those of us who have experienced CPU spikes with 8 core Macs, I note from the UAD FAQs the following: From the UAD 2 FAQ here: http://www.uaudio.com/support/faq/uad2.html "Has Has UAD-2 solved the multi-core spiking issues with Logic 8 and the Mac 8- core? Yes, because of the new architecture of the UAD-2 this is not a issue." They also changed their UAD 1e FAQ, instead of not recommending users of a UAD card to buy an 8 core, it now reads like this: http://www.uaudio.com/support/faq/uad1.html "Is Apple's new 8-core Mac Pro compatible with the UAD-1e? Some users are experiencing problems with Apple Mac Pro computers and Logic 8, when used with UAD Powered Plug-Ins. The problems manifest as CPU spiking, and occasional halting of playback. They seem to occur more often on the 8-core model. We have determined that this problem stems from the unique way in which Logic 8 treats plug-ins on a track with no audio currently passing through it. We are currently examining workarounds but have no definitive solution at this time. Please note that other hosts besides Logic 8 work fine with UAD-1e on the Mac Pro models, including the 8-core. Therefore we do NOT currently recommend purchasing either a UAD-1e or UAD-1 to use with this specific CPU/DAW configuration." kind regards Mark ------------------------------------

How about in a way telling you that you should not do it so ;-) Actually I think it is good file management to keep similar type of files in one place and not scatter them all over the disks BUT considering that Logic 8 is the first version where things are becoming more tied up (like Loop browser window) maybe the option to do what you want will come in later version of Logic. I also think that Loop browser indexing is Logic's file management and therefore understandable that Finder does not get involved with it like iTunes won't just recognise songs dropped into iTunes folders unless you drag the folders into iTunes application. You can create your own subfolders in Logic's Apple Loop browser to keep things easily found.

I guess when I buy the UAD 2 I still have the UAD 1 to run the others in the short term.. And yes it does look startlingly familiar lol...

> How about simply running the AU Manager and disabling them? that would certainly do it - hadn't thought of that, thanks :-) another arrow for my quiver Problem is I am trying to do 2 things at once: 1. Produce a song 2. troubleshoot a bug with the developers This requires a fair amount of A/B work and logging in and out of AU manager and running a scan each way might take more real time, I think, than simply removing the plugin from the components folder. fx: removes large stopwatch from waistcoat and rolls up sleeves... peter ------------------------------------

Select those regions that are muted, then press the m key. That should unmute them. Logic has more than one way to solo and mute - the instant, non CPU saving method of pressing the appropriate mixer buttons, or the non-instant, CPU saving method of selecting regions, then pressing either s (solo) or m (mute) as required.

Yes, this is proper file managment, and you can do it by opening loops from within Logic to Apple Loop Utility and save them from there to anywhere you want.

Frédéric BERTI wrote: > Yes, this is proper file managment, and you can do it by opening loops > from within Logic to Apple Loop Utility and save them from there to > anywhere you want. That's not the point. In case I need a loop *only* for a song, I don't want or need it to show up in the loop browser at all. But when I save the loop from inside Logic, it *will* show up in the loop browser and I fail to see a way to "un-index" it. > But we all now that you hate Logic :-) I don't hate Logic at all, more to the opposite. I just hate the fact that with Logic 8 half-baked implementations of various things seem to be the most common thing to happen, the loop organsation just being a very tiny fraction of that.

Hi Art and Listers, I am using an 8 core intel mac pro in OSX 10.5.4 with LP8. I am having the same problem with my amt8 not being recognized in the audio midi setup. I re-ran the logic pro 8 studio installer (hardware interface option only) and I still can't get AMS to recognize the amt8. The most recent amt8 driver I've been able to find over the last week on the net is 1.5. Is there a more recent driver? Any ideas on how to get the amt8 recognized in LP8? Thanks for any tips, Regards, Jim ------------------------------------

I think Ive figured it out. Its Nero! Go to Task Manager and kill the NM processes. Logic starts up normally. If this works for you Go back to your nero install and only install Nero Essentials

AFAIK, the SHARC chip used in the UAD card is virtually indentical with the one used by metric halo in the d2. For those not familiar with MH, the d2 is an add on card which provides a very considerable power boost to the DSP functions of the 2882 and ULN 2, as well as adding ADAT I/O and improved clocking. More here: http://www.mhsecure.com/v5mm/#this A few things strike me - the d2 card costs around 400 USD, including ADAT I/O, as opposed to 649 USD for the UAD solo. Makes the d2 seem pretty good value.... As well as that, as both chips use exactly the same processor core, the thought of (in theory at least)being able to run UAD plugins on a MH interface I find tremenduously exciting. As a non coder it's of course easy for me to write that from a technical/coding point of view it *should* be possible :-) Even better - Metric Halo's own DSP effects may be used live, and the amount of latency involved is negligible. The thought of running UAD plugins latency free and thus being able to use them live makes me go kind of weak at the knees. I know it's probably fantasy, but that would be some coup :-)) kind regards Mark Cahill ------------------------------------

I know it's > probably fantasy, but that would be some coup :-)) It'd probably have been a nice idea if UAD developed something along the lines of Creamware's Pulsar/Scope. With them, you get a really decently spec'ed soundcard and you can either use the onboard FX in "host-free" realtime mode (or route your host's audio streams through them) or use them in plugin mode, in which case, I think, the same latency is added as with UADs or PoCos. Pretty much the best of both worlds, if implemented properly. Unfortunately, Creamware never exactly started off too much (tons over tons of driver problems, let alone the plugin mode never seemed to be working too great), otherwise it had been a really outstanding example of how DSP cards could be utilized these days.

Hey guys does anybody know how i can view chords in the Score editor from a guitar or paino general midi tracks and print out sheet music for other guys in the band to learn the music. ie i would like to print out music charts showing the notes and chords for live gigs.

Hi I have a UAD1 PCI with some great plugins, I've bought a UAD1 PCIe before the end of 2007 to use the promotion cards,, and then I've bought Mac Pro early 2008 and guess what!! I never was able to use the UAD1e in my new machine. All clicks and pops in Logic 8, Ableton live or Protools. I don't think the new cross grade offer is so good. i've spend 450euros for nothing. I love UAD plugins, but this kind of treatment to loyal costumers is a bit ridiculous. Just my to cents. UnFraGile ------------------------------------

Hi I am currently doing this in logic 7 as i still prefer it to 8 (have eight but still haven't made myself get used to it and switch!) I have an Akai sampler and I have been writing a sysex template to control various parameters within the environment. However I have come across a question that I can't find the answer to in the manual. My Akai sampler uses what they refer to as qword a fellow user described qword to me as " QWORD is 8 bytes, starting with LSB going to MSB at the end. This allows for a huge number(72057594037927936). You would change b1 for tiny changes (0-127), and b2 for small but noticable changes (128-16384), then so on for larger numbers." QWORD 7 <B1><B2><B3><B4><B5><B6><B7><B8 > quad word (0–72,057,594,037,927,935) The Qword format is used to control the sample start time, end time, loop time etc. For the purposes of this discussion it is easier if I always refer to it with the example of sample start time. Within logic I can create sysex faders to vary B1 or B2 or B3 etc. they only then change a small and often inconvenient parts of a samples start point. Its there any way I can create a more advanced object/sysex string so that... I could use one single fader to send a sysex value range from 0 to 072,057,594,037,927,935 in the qword format. i.e rather than having 8 sysex faders just to cover the full value range, I keep thinking there must be a way to do this using only one sysex fader somehow. hope that makes sense. any guidance hugely appreciated. cheers geoff
