Hi, I just made the switch and even though I've read much of the manual, I still have a few questions: 1. What's the best way to create a stereo mix of my song, including frozen tracks? 2. In DP, when you create a project it automatically creates an audio file folder. When you import a sample into DP it makes a copy of that sample. to the audio file folder and works from that. Is there a way to do this in Logic? DP used to work the way logic does and I often times ended up accidentally moving my samples instead of copying them. 3. Is there a more simple (faster) way to copy an effect from one insert slot to another, other than going into the pop up and selectiing copy settings, paste settings? 4. Is there a way to automatically rename freeze files? 5. There is a button in the transport section of the arrange window that has a H. What does that do? That it for now, but I'm sure I'll be back with some more question. Thanks in advance for any help. -Lou

The strategy in Logic is different, as you found out, in that you're invited to use audio files from everywhere. >makes a copy of that sample to the audio file folder Arrangement>Audio>Convert Regions To Individual Audio Files or Audio>Audio Files>Copy/Convert Files > Is there a more simple (faster) way to copy an effect from one > insert slot to another Open the Audio Configuration window and check out the hand tool. > 4. Is there a way to automatically rename freeze files? Nope, as they're not intended to be renamed. I don't think it is a good idea if you want to keep them doing their task in your song. You can move and rename them, then import into the song *if* they're not 32bit, then tick off the Freeze button, but depending on the exact purpose, Bounce or Merge or Convert Regions To Individual Audio Files is probably way faster. > There is a button in the transport section of the arrange window > that has a H. Check out the Hide feature in the manual. Christian -- homepage http://uk.geocities.com/christianobermaier/home.htm

Press the bounce (BNCE) button on the relevant Output object in the audio mixer. >2. In DP, when you create a project it automatically creates an >audio file folder.

Pick the hand tool, and Option-drag an effect from one slot to another to copy it. just dragging (without Option) will move it instead. >4. Is there a way to automatically rename freeze files? No. Why would you want to do that? In normal use they're 'transparent' and there's no need to mess with their names, is there? (Unless you want to manually insert the frozen audio on an audio track in Arrange of course, in which case you'd better make a copy in the Finder, and rename and import the copy.) >5. There is a button in the transport section of the arrange window >that has a H. What does that do? "Hide". Click the big 'H' button (so it gets blue) and all tracks will get a small 'H' button. Now click some of the small H's, and click the big H again: the tracks you've just selected will be hidden. Click the big H again, and they'll be back. It's magic... :-) Note that the big H will be orange if tracks have actually been hidden, and colourless otherwise. -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra h @ k n o w a r e . n l Omega Art: http://www.omega-art.com/
