I'm getting duplicates of the bottom notes of midi tracks I make and sometimes even higher notes too. Erase duplicates doesnt work to eradicate them. Each one has to be erased individually by hand. I have never had this problem before. The timing sucks, too. I have a midi file to give to a producer by tommorow morning and this problem is going to make finishing this track take forever. PLease help.

Have you tried inserting a transformer on the track(s) with the "erase duplicate events" box checked?

Since no one responded to my first post regarding this problem I will post it again. I am getting random duplication of notes when I record midi data into logic. There is a slight delay between the duplicates so the function ERASE DUPLICATES does not take care of this problem. I don't know what I did but something is wrong and its really hindering my work flow. I had to stay up till 6 in the morning to then deliver the midi file to the producers house by 7 a.m. after having driven to Ft. Myers and back that same night. I was not amused at this problem popping up when it did. Murphys Law! Please shed some light on this. I recently installed Logic 5.x on the same computer I'm running 4.8 on but I can't figure out why that would cause a problem. Sounds to me like a environment situation I created by accident or something. PLease help. Thank You. Ors

[...] >Sounds to me like a environment situation I created by accident or >something. PLease help. Whether it indeed is an environment problem can be easily checked. Open an offending song, go to the Clicks and Ports layer in the environment, and make sure there's a cable running straight from the Physical Input's SUM outlet into the "to Sequencer" object (sometimes called "to Recording & thru"). Bypass all other nonsense you might have in your environment -- just the one cable. Then try to record a piece of midi again. If you still get double notes, select a track with a VSTi, or select a track set to "No Output" (if you're playing an outboard synth), and try again. That will avoid the possibility of an external synth sending back the incoming midi, and thus creating a kind of feedback that can cause double notes. If the above doesn't solve the problem, feel free to send me a (zipped or sit'd (?)) copy of your song (no audio please :-), with a description of what to do to recreate the problem (i.e. need I select a special track, or do all midi tracks cause the same behaviour, etc). -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.ision.nl/users/h/index.html
