Advice Needed: Filtering/Adding effects to multiple tracks

I'm writing a dance song, and at one point would like to apply a few filtering sweeps on selected drum tracks.
Which is the best way to do it? Is it to bounce down the tracks into an audio file, then apply the effects onto that file by itself, or is it better to route the multiple tracks to an effects bus?
I have been trying using a bus, but have found that as soon as I route the tracks to the bus, the is a change in the sound quality of the track (louder and sometimes slightly distorted), even without any plugins on the bus. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

How are you routing to a bus? If you are just using sends, then what's happeing is that the individual channels are going to the master output, and also being sent to a bus that is also going to the master output - this everything sent to that bus will get louder.
If you want to send a bunch of channels directly to a bus for insert processing, then change each channel's output to the bus, rather than the main output, so the individual channels only go to the mix via the bus, and not directly.
Or are you doing something different to that?

? forLogic Pros. Applying specifically tuned effects to multiple tracks?

How is it done? Let's say I have a Space Designed reverb that I have applied to a lead vocal track and I want to apply that same effect to a background vocal track without having to open another Space Designer and tune it the same as I've already done on the lead vocal track. Also what is the consensus on the pre- packaged vocal reverbs in Space Designer.

Adam is right - put SD on a bus, and send to that bus from those tracks you want the same reverb. This will also save a lot of CPU processing - multiple instances of SD will tax your system.
Also what is the consensus on the pre- packaged vocal reverbs in Space Designer.
As with any presets, they are intended as starting points - suggestions, if you will (just like speed limits), as somewhere to start and tweak from. Several SD presets are actually quite nice, especially some of the old plate reverbs.
One little SD trick: to cut down on processing, halve the sample rate while retaining length. This will cut down on overhead if you have multiple SDs on several busses.
Also, remember that in vocals, especially multi-track backing vocals, you can get nice effects by submixing a vocal mix and applying reverb to that submix.

How to add artwork to multiple tracks

I am having trouble adding artwork to multiple tracks of the same album. I highlight all tracks so the info comes up for the entire album. When I drag the artwork into the box it bounces back onto the desktop and won't add like it used to. I can go through and add art to individual tracks, but that is a very slow process. I am sure I am just missing something.

Instead of dragging artwork into box, double click on box. This opens a window where you can find and select the artwork.

Multiple tracks and effects not bouncing to mp3???

Hello,
This might be a tough problem to diagnose due to the many possibilities as to what might be causing this...
I have multiple tracks and effects missing on a project [32 tracks] after bouncing to mp3. This has never happened to me before and I've been running Logic consistently for about a year now. I've tried bouncing the same project about five times now and there doesn't seem to be any consistency with regards to which tracks and effects go missing.
I do not have any of the tracks or effects that are missing after bouncing muted and nothing in the project is soloed. No problems with automation prior to bouncing either.
Please help.
Thanks.

Any suggestions to get around this? I already froze my tracks. Btw, only working with 4 GB's of RAM...could that be the problem?
Thanks.
Which is why you're missing tracks... too many plugins, are you using Reverbs and Delays on a bus where possible? RAM could be a problem but the fact is you're over-taxing your system. It could be virtual instruments, it could be not being able to pull data off a drive fast enough... it could be using too many Reverbs as inserts when using one on a bus for several tracks would be more economical.
Try giving your system more time to work.
Increase the I/O Buffer to 512 or 1024...... try the Process Buffer at Large

MULTIPLE TRACK ADDING DELETING

I would like to highlight multiple tracks to add or delete as in MediaMonkey. How do I do that with iTunes? I have tried unchecking the track box, holding CTRL,SHIFT,CTRL+SHIFT etc with no good results. I have hundreds of tracks to move.Many thnaks,John Wilson

Yes, iTunes does this. To select a continuous range of songs, click one end of the range, then Shift-Click the other end - the whole group should become selected. To select or deselect multiple discontiguous items, it is Command-Click on Mac, which +I think+ is Alt-Click on Windows.
In iTunes, click the Help menu and select "Keyboard Shortcuts" for a list of keyboard commands that you can use. I assume the Windows version of iTunes has this, although I can't verify it personally. My apologies if this assumption is incorrect.

Disable Effects across multiple Clips

Hello. I was wondering if there was a way to disable/enable effects across multiple clips. I have done all the color correction/grading and have decided to cut another version. Unfortunately the effects I have added all need to be rendered. I want to turn off the effects do the edit, and turn them back on after I am complete. Is this possible? Thanks, Jeremy

Hi -
Here is a solution I use, but it has one weird step in it that I am not sure is just a quirk of my system . . .
Open the Sequence Settings.
Click on the Render Control Tab.
Uncheck the Render & Playback - Filters CheckBox
Click OK.
Now, on my system, in order to not display the CC filters I've applied I have to do these little extra steps:
Switch the RT playback control to Safe RT, then back to Unlimited RT.
Now the sequence plays without displaying the filters.
To restore the effect of the filters, you reverse the steps-
Open the Sequence Tab.
Click on the Render Tab.
Check the Render & Playback - Filters Checkbox, then click OK.
and again, don't know if this just my system but -
Switch the RT playback control to Safe RT, then back to Unlimited RT.
You'll see your Color Correction again, and it will need to be rendered.
Hope this helps.

I record multiple tracks (3-5) from real instruments and vocals. I want to send these files to a collaborator to add more tracks to, but Garageband wants to mix these down (which I don't want). How can I send the multiple tracks files to my friend?

I record multiple tracks of real instruments and vocals wth Garage Band. I want to share the file with a collaborator so he can add another instrument or two. I have not found a way to do this without the process mixing down the tracks. I don't want them mixed down like when I send them to Itunes. Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes. I thought I saw a method to do this with software instruments, but how do you do it with real instruments? I've tried every process on the "export" list to try to accomplish this, without success. Thanks for any breakthrough advice on this!

As isteveus said - for large projects uploading to a server would be best.
Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes.
But for completeness's sake , you cou can mail a project, if you ctrl-click the project and use "Compress xxx.band". This will compress the project and create a zip file, that you can mail (if it is not too large). But ask your friend for the maximal file size allowed as a mail attachment.
But whichever method you use to share your project, be sure you include all loops and instruments, if your friend does not have the same JamPacks installed. You can bundle the loops into the project by saving it as an archive. "File > Save as" and check the "Archive Project" option.
If this option should be disabled, you can force it to become active by editing your project slightly. It is only available, if the project needs saving.

No Transitions on Multiple Tracks

I have been a Sony Vegas user for 2 years now and I just got FCPX. When I try to add a video transition to video it snaps to the audio acting like there's no video. It's extremely frustrating! I have tried re-installing it and creating a new user account. I was on the phone with 3 apple support people today. The best result I got was I had to attach the audio to the video, combine the tracks, split it where the next clip starts, and then add the transition. I'm having a hard time believing a professional editing system can't add transitions on multiple tracks, but a $90 editing system on a PC can.
If you have any suggestion please say them. Thank you!

If you're talking about adding transitions to clips above the main storyline, these are connected clips (not tracks) you need to select the relevant clips, right-click the selection and make those clips into a storyline (Cmd + G). You can then add your transitions.

How do you convert a single audio file into multiple tracks?

Ive got a cassette tape that I captured. Now I want that single file to be chopped up into multiple tracks.
from there, can we burn to cd with the multi tracks? or do we need another cd burner program?
also the only way Ive been able to get rid of big pops is highlight them and cut them out. the automated processes have not been able to do this for me.
is there a procedure somewhere for this that I can follow?
thanks for your assistance.
best, M/

Jimi
this is exactly what I did with a previous cd. I thought it seemed like the long way round.
was hoping for a more automated solution.
when I came from XP land, I used to use Premiere Pro 2.0 and there was a Pro editing software that came with the Premiere suite, I forgot what it was called, but it did that automatically after adding markers and it was way better at eliminating clicks and pops.
there was a view you could use where you could see the annoying noises by looking at it using several differnt views (like looking at an infared image).
definetly had its advantages but I could not keep XP running. I got errors, blue screens, viruses, spywares, costs lots of money to fix an lots of downtime.
so far the mac as worked without any major glitches (touching wood)

How to change effects on multiple clips

Is there a way to change and/or adjust effects/filters on multiple clips at once? I have added an effect on a scene and I want to adjust the overall level to all the clips, i.e. the amount of the effect applied.
I highlighted all the clips and made the adjustment in the Inspector, but it only made the adjustment to one single clip even though I selected all. I REALLY do not want to sit and adjust each one seperately.
Anyone with an answer? Thanks

I am not adding an effect. I am adjusting ONE single effect within multiple clips that have multiple effects. if I just copy and paste it copies ALL the effects, which I do not want, because I have different effects for different clips. i.e. different color schemes etc.
In otherw ords, I wnat to be able to EDIT effects in multiple clips. E.G, I have added color correction, "looks" filter, etc to multiple clips. I just want to change ONE of those effects in multiple clips without disturbing the rest of the effects in those clips.

Can I record multiple tracks simultaneously in v. 1.1?

Hey, I found some instructions online about how to record multiple tracks simultaneously in version 3, but I can't figure out how to do it in the old version I have, 1.1. Any help is appreciated. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping this feature wasn't implemented later. I have a two-mic setup for podcasts, and need to record both on diff. tracks.

Multi-track recording was added in v2
From STP 2 Manual - New Features:
Multitrack Recording
With Soundtrack Pro 2, you can record across multiple tracks in the Timeline. (This is limited only by your hardware setup.)
So, not available in v1
Have you tried Garageband?

Linking Multiple Tracks

Hello, I am trying to link multiple tracks so that when I move the alignment of one, the rest will follow. For example, I currently have my vocal and guitar lined up, how do I select and adjust the position of them similtaneously (for example). I want to add in sound effects in places, but I must make space at the start of my song,=.

To select all the tracks, you just need to press ⌘A. From there, you are able to move all your tracks simultaneously.

Apply 1 FX to multiple tracks?

Is it possible to apply FX to multiple tracks at once? I have 15 clips I want to compress, but so far I have to apply the same FX to each one individually. Thanks

You would either have to apply the Compressor effect to the Master output and send the mixed tracks to it or assign the tracks to a Bus where you place the Compressor. Otherwise yes you have to apply it individually. As each track will have different audio anyway you would need to adjust the Compressor settings separately anyway.

Urgent!! need help to bounce all the tracks individually with same length.

i have a logic project with 20 (audio/Midi) tracks
and i want to bounce all the tracks individually...
one way i find is to solo every track and bounce the master everytime...
and other way i found was something called export all audio tracks but when i try that all tracks have different length.
i want all the tracks to be of same length and same size..
can anybody help me with that asap....
thanx in advance
boommmm

File>Export>Export All tracks as Audio Files
This will export all tracks from bar 1, beat 1.
I too, am curious why the OP needs his tracks to be the same length. Using the Export feature insures all tracks start from the very beginning (i.e., the same starting point), which is what you want and need when moving the tracks to another DAW.
The length of the track is of no consequence in this example. It plays through the song, until that track is over, like a guitar solo that appears in the middle of a song, but doesn't play past that point.
Unless I'm missing something?
