Speeding up logic

I am having trouble with logic. I get tthe old "Core audio disk too slow error". So yeah I have the problem everyone else is having.
I have a g5 dual 2.7 with a 250gb hard drive and 1gb ram.
I have big plug ins such as amplitube 2 which I use on a lot of tracks (in order to get a fuller spread), and antares native pich correction. I'm sure they take up a lot.
I searched arround the forum and I saw alot about everyone needing more "CPU", and unforrtunatly, I happen to be an idiot, and I dont know what cpu means.
I know its some sort of processing power but how would you upgrade it? Would you buy a new ram card?
Also, my hard drive is almost full. I'm planning on getting a raptor 32gb 10,000rpm with "16mb cache (I dont know what that means either). If I do get one, do I hav to put logic onto it in oredr to use it? and will this hard drive truly, really help me?
Is there anyone who knows ways I can change myy settings in order to get the best possible performance from logic?
Thanks
-Sam

So yeah I have the problem everyone else is having
Well, some maybe, but mostly not: your computer is easily up to snuff, and you shouldn't have too many problems.
amplitube 2 which I use on a lot of tracks
Yes, that's a beast - as you are using it often, freeze the tracks. That goes for anything else too; if you have tracks with complex or hungry plug-ins, freeze the tracks.
CPU
Central Processing Unit. The Chip. You have two of them, and fast ones at that. You don't need to upgrade.
Also, my hard drive is almost full.
That's bad. You need an additional hard disk. Your plan to get a Raptor is excellent (74GB preferably). Put all your Logic projects on the new drive, and you'll see an improvement. Leave your applications (like Logic) on the system drive.
You might even consider getting a third HD (external firewire is fine) for backups of your Raptor, and maybe sample libraries etc. if you use them a lot.
Your RAM is marginal. Upping that to 2 or even 4GB will make a difference. And it's not too expensive at little more than $100 per GB.
Finally, what interface are you using? Have you checked your I/O settings? Around 256 would be a good starting point. Larger disk buffer?

Optimum processor speed for Logic 8

Hello out there! I want to buy a desktop computer to run Logic 8. I want to be able to use Stylux RMX, Vienna Special Edition, and probably other soft synth like Spectrasonics Atmosphere in Logic and also to record some audio (vocals, keys) into. I was wondering what is the most critical element(s) in a desktop that I should be aware of? I understand that the more RAM the better, what about the processor speed? I have even heard that the graphic card also has an important role in the performance; is this true?
will a loaded iMac desktop do the trick or is it absolutely necessary to go for the Mac Pro?
please help!

A loaded iMac will more than do the trick for most people - just max out the RAM. However, it is usually recommended to go w/ the best you can afford. . . so if you can afford one of the powerful 8 cores, than go for it. You'll get better performance and more expandability if you are looking to go into this professionally.
However, if this is more a hobby or a side thing, I'd suggest saving the money and going for the iMac. Its all in one, and the dual core can handle more than most can throw at it. With about 4 gigs of RAM, you should be set.

Fans Now Kick on to "Cat 5 Hurricane" Speed After Logic Board Replacement

I have been around and around with this issue with tech support/product specialists and "Geniuses" at Apple Stores, and all I seem to be getting are shoulder shrugs from one and all.
I recently had to have my logic board replaced --and since doing this, the fans come on for what I feel are "innocuous" reasons --say just watching a YouTube vid or opening a "heavy" PDF, Safari being the ONLY app open.
Did not do this before the repair --I could certainly care less since I of course want my MBP to stay at its coolest, but the amount of noise seems to feel like trying to kill a mosquito with a cannonball.
Anyone familiar with this issue?
Thanks in advance

All those steps already have pretty much been taken, S.U. --since the logic board replacement was done at an Apple Store, I immediately took it back to the same Apple Store and the "Genius" ran through all those things --I'm still having to monitor what it's doing when they kick in, but the only thing unusual I see is when Safari goes right to the top of the Activity Monitor after clicking on the CPU column when I'm on one of these "innocuous" sites.
Since then, I've gone to yet another Apple Store, left my computer NEEDLESSLY there overnight (they didn't realize they didn't have the parts till the next day --not exactly sure WHICH parts --but the "Genius" thought it'd be a good idea to replace the fans --not sure how that makes any sense --I mean, the FANS work FINE --they just come on all the time!!) --took it back yet again and the "genius" (note quotes) decided it'd be a good idea that installing the newest version of Flash Player would solve the issue --what a surprise that it didn't!.
So here I still am --in a place where just going to the Corner Bakery website sounds like a tornado is about to hit.
Then today, I had a supposed product specialist @Tech Support tell me "so what's the problem? The fans mean they're keeping your computer cool" --I s**t you not!!
CMCSK, I couldn't agree with you more and have, in fact, had to take this to Apple Consumer Relations --who basically told me it's all up to the techs/"geniuses" to fix but they'd add a notation on the case to expedite should it require another repair (cause having my MBP [only computer] in the shop for a week to replace said logic board cost me dearly!!).
BFD.
Of course, doesn't help matters that the timing of this is right at a time when you can't even get IN to the "Genius" Bar because of the whole post-holiday rush.
My AppleCare runs out in like 100 days --hope they can resolve this before then --don't laugh.
This is really screwed.

The best way to get help with logic

I was posting in a thread on support for logic which appears to have been deleted. anyway, what I was going to say I think is useful info for people, so I'm going to post it anyway. to the mods - it doesn't contain any speculation about policies or anything like that. just an explanation of my views on the best way to deal with issues people have with logic, which I think is a valuable contribution to this forum.
I think there's a need for perspective. when you buy an apple product you get 90 days of free phone support to get everything working nice and neat. you can call them whenever, and you could actually keep them on the phone all day if you wanted, making them explain to you how to copy a file, install microsoft office, or any number of little questions no matter how simple - what is that red button thingy in my window for?.. on top of that, you've got a 14 day dead on arrival period (or 10 days I can't remember) in which if your machine has any kind of hardware fault whatsoever it's exchanged for a totally new one, no questions asked. a lot of people complain that applecare is overpriced.. and if you think of it just as an extended warranty, then it is a little pricey. but if you are someone that could use a lot of phone support, then it's actually potentially a total bargain. the fact that 2 or more years after you bought a computer, you could still be calling them every single day, asking for any kind of advice on how to use anything on the machine, is quite something. many people on this forum have had problems when they made the mistake of upgrading to 10.4.9 without first creating a system clone or checking first with their 3rd party plug in vendors to make sure it was ok. so, with apple care, you could call them and keep a technician on the phone _all day_ talking you through step-by-step how to back up all of your user data, how to go through and preserve your preferences and any other specific settings you might not want to lose, and then how to rollback to an earlier OS version.. they'll hold your hand through the whole thing if you need them to.
as for applecare support for pro apps like logic, I'd be the first person to agree that it's not great for anyone except beginners and first time users. if you look at what it takes to get even the highest level of logic certification, it's all pretty basic stuff. and logic doesn't exist in a vacuum, there is an entire universe of 3rd party software and hardware, as well as studio culture and advanced user techniques that are going to be totally invisible to some poor phone support guy at apple that did a logic 101. but it's not hard to see that apple are trying to promote a different kind of support culture, it's up to you to decide whether you want to buy into it or not.
the idea is that they are able to provide basic setup support for new users, including troubleshooting. because it's a simpler level of support, at least they can do this well. so there's no reason why any new user with say a new imac and logic can't get up and running with the 90 days of phone support they get for free.
but the thing is, for extremely high end pro users it's a different matter altogether. pro use of logic within the context of say, a studio or a film composition scenario is a very different world. it's almost a nonsense to imagine that apple could even hire people capable of giving useful support for this end of the spectrum, over the phone. there are so many variables, and so many things that require a very experienced studio person or in-work composer to even begin to understand the setup, let alone troubleshoot it. and it's a constantly evolving world, you actually have to be working in it and aware of developments on 3rd party fronts as well as changes in hardware.. not to mention even changes in the culture of studio production and the changed expectations that come from that. there's no way some poor little guy sitting at a help desk at apple can even hope to be privy to that kind of knowledge. it's already good enough that they don't outsource their support staff to india, let alone go out to studios and hire the very people with the skills that should be staying in the studio! not answering phones for apple.
so, given this reality.. companies have two choices. they can either offer an email based support ticket system, which others do. but in my opinion.. this can just be frustrating and only a half-solution. sure you 'feel' like you are getting a response from the people that make the software and therefore must know it.. but it's not really the case due to what I said above. DAWs don't exist in a vacuum, and so much of what you need to understand to help people requires an intimate knowledge of the music industry in which they are working. you still won't get that from steinberg, even if they sort of answer your emails. the other problem is that this kind of system can mean sporadic answers, a lot of tail-chasing, and quite often you won't get an answer that helps you in the end anyway.
the other model is to foster a strong user support culture. some people react in the wrong way to this idea.. they just think it's a big brush off from the manufacturer, saying we don't care, go sort it out yourselves.. but this isn't true. apple has a classification for pro resellers called 'apple solutions expert - audio'. what this means is that these dealers are recognised as audio specialists and they can receive extra support and training from apple for this. but more importantly than this.. most of them are music stores, or pro gear dealerships that are also mac and logic dealers. they already employ people that have worked or do work in the music industry, and are constantly on top of all of this stuff. apple encourages these dealers to run workshops, and to provide expert sales advice in the very niche area that logic is in, which they can do far better than some generic apple store ever could. but most importantly, they are encouraged to offer their own expert after-sales support and whatever other value-adding expertise they can, to get sales. because margins in computer gear are so tight nowadays, discounting is not really a viable option for these dealers to guarantee getting musicians to buy computers and logic setups from them. the only companies that can entice people with a lower price a big online wholesalers or big chain stores. so the best idea for these niche expert stores to get sales is to offer you their own experts to help with configuration, ongoing support and to generally make it a better idea that you bought your system from them rather than from some anonymous online store. I can see the wisdom of this.. it puts the support back out there on the ground where it's needed, and also where it can work best. apple could never hope to offer the same level of expertise in helping a film composer work through some issues with a specific interface or some highly specific issue they have with getting a task done. no big software manufacturer could do this anywhere near as well as people out there that have worked in studios or currently do work in studios. so in my opinion it's a far better model to foster this kind of support culture, along with training courses, books and training video support. also user forums like this one are possibly one of the most valuable ports of call anyone could ask for. apple couldn't replicate this with their own staff, even if they tried. and even if they made a system where some of the people close to logic development were able to answer emails, it would still be nowhere near as useful, as rapid or as capable of being up to speed with logic use out in the real world with 3rd pary gear, as any of these other methods are.
the only thing I think they could do better would be to publish a list of known bugs which are officially recognised. this would help everyone and put an end to a lot of wasted time and speculation on if something is a bug totally to do with logic, or if it's a specific issue raised by a particular configuration.
but really, in my view, a 3rd party support and training culture through a combination of specialist dealers, consultants that literally run a business setting up computers for pro-users and helping them keep it all working, online user-to-user forums and published materials really are the way forward.

In all honesty this is currently the 3rd "logicboard" (motherboard)
in my powerbook due to a design flaw regarding the 2nd memory slot....
Yep. Mine failed five weeks after I bought it. However, I bought it for work and couldn't afford being without it for four weeks while they fixed it, so I had to live with it. My serial number did not entitle me to a replacement either, post Applecare.
My firewire ports have burnt out from a third-party defective device (no hot-plugging involved)
My screen is blotchy (my PW serial number did not entitle me to a replacement).
My battery serial number did not entitle me to a replacement, and is not that good these days.
My guaranteed Powerbook-compatible RAM is actually not, causing RAM related problems, most notably these days meaning that as soon as I switch to battery power, the laptop crashes, so I can only use mains power. The company I bought it from stopped taking my calls and wouldn't replace it after they replaced it once, so I'm stuck with it. And of course, only one ram slot is working, so I can't even use my original stick in the first slot, which would shift the dodgy stuff away from the lower system area.
My power supply failed at the weak spot and caught fire. I managed to break apart the power supply and recable it so I didn't have to buy a new power supply, although the connection at the laptop end is loose (all the more fun that as soon as power is lost, the laptop crashes - see above). The power supply is held together with gaffa tape. Silver gaffer tape though, so it's still kind of 'Appley"...
My internal hard drive is dying - four or five times now it clicks and won't power up, causing the laptop to die.
One foot has fallen off (but glued back on).
The lid is warped.
The hinge is loosish.
The S-Video adaptor cable is intermittent.
But aside from all that, I have looked after it well, and I love it to death. Just as well, because it doesn't look like it will be that long...
But it still "just works". Apart from the battery power obviously. And the ram slot. And the ram. And the screen. And the hard drive. And the firewire ports. And the feet.
But everything apart from the main board, the screen, the case, the hard drive and the power supply works fine. So thats... er..
Hmm.

Tell me where to go-I have bought logic express 8 - Recording live music.

I have Macbook 2
Presonus Firepod 8 in
PA gear
500 gig Firewire drive
We play live and I just want to hit record and play.
I stop at breaks and save the files.
All of this works great!
Now any advice for someone who has five hours of music recorded with the default settings for each channel. For example why does it say midi files instead of audio files?
Hey I am serious, I am looking up at a real steep learning curve.
I have mixed some material down (bounced) to Itunes, it sounds great, but I am driving a fast car with no experience. So any advice, ABC's of live recording, any tips?
I am just a guitar player in his fifties who has been given the tools, but could sure use some common sense.

Hi, and welcome!
Please note this is the Logic Pro forum - you should post your queries in the Logic Express forum.
So... No one here is going to type out the Getting Started manual for you - crack it open with a cup of coffee, or if you really can't be arsed to read a manual, then I'd suggest getting some tutorial videos from MacProVideo.com - about the fastest way of getting you up to speed with Logic.

2013 Mac Pro and Logic, which processor?

I'm about to buy the new Mac Pro and was wondering if more cores or faster clock speed suit Logic X more. I know it supports multi-threading etc but can it really make use of 12 cores etc? I was thinking of just getting the entry processor as it has the highest clock speed 3.7Ghz
can anyone advise?
thank you
J

I can tell you first hand that Logic X does use all of the 12 cores of my new mac pro and I can happy say its a dream

Logic Pro X and Bluetooth speakers - terrible latency

Hello,
I've just purchased a little Bluetooth speaker that functions pretty well when playing regular music, say, via iTunes. However, I mainly got the device so I could use it to play on Logic Pro X with my MIDI keyboard controller.. But the latency is really bad. It takes about a second from the time I press a key for the sound to come out of the speakers. I've tried using "Low Latency Mode" but that actually kind of worsened things. Any chance this can be improved?
Thank you.

Bluetooth is not a high speed protocol, Logic was designed to be used with low latency hardware.

CPU Fan Speed: How to Adjust?

Hello,
My 975X has what I believe is an issue with the SATA controller, which prevented reliable SATA (hard drive) operation. I went to the local Fry's and replaced it with an ASUS P5Q-Deluxe. One thing noticed is that ASUS has a software utility (AI Suite) to control CPU fan speed. On my 975X, the CPU fan ran "full out". When I looked I didn't see a utility to reduce fan speed: Fuzzy Logic and Corecell didn't seem to adjust the fan speed, but could monitor it. Was there a utility to the control the CPU fan speed that I overlooked? If so..too bad..I could've had quieter operation. If not, then I presume MSI motherboards now have a utility to adjust the fan speed so that it scales with CPU temperature, and thus reducing noise? I'd like to know as I'm sure I will buy another MSI motherboard at somepoint. Thx.
Scott

You replaced it? Or do you still have one?
I still have it, but the SATA controller needs to be repaired; new disks, cables, OS installs, and power supply failed to fix the problem so has to be MB. While I can RMA the board, it is about 3 yrs old so MSI wants $35; not sure it is worth it. Comments?
Generally I've been happy with MSI as I've used their boards for 6+ yrs, but I also really like my ASUS boards.

Trying to use LE8 in place of ACID on a PC

Figured where to copy the sample wav files. I get them to come up in the loop browser where they play. I can drag 1 loop into place in track 1 without issue. I'll have the tempo for the whole project at 75 bpm. I pull a fill loop out and place it in track 2 and set it where I want it. Then when I hit play the loops aren't in sync, like they're running at different tempo's. They are both base set to run at 70 bmp and I can run them without issue at 75-78 bpm in ACID on the PC.
What am I missing?
Desperately trying to be free from having to use my PC ever again. All of my drum loops are in .wav format but I don't see that making much of a difference. If I can figure out how to use these loops in LE8 (soon to be LE9) then I can forget the PC forever.

Hi,
the tempo sync function is only enabled for loops that have been recorded in logic itself. Maybe the Apple Loops Utility can help you. But if you really need to have the loops synced, simply re-record them at their original speed in logic (maybe over a bus or so), and you'll have regions that can adapt to a changed tempo.

Vernatim DVD-R not recognized

I know there is already a thread about optical drives not reading discs, but I've heard enough problems about my specific topic that I thought would warrant a seperate thread.
My 2-month-old MacBook (2.4Ghz) will not mount/read any of my Verbatim DVD-Rs (i.e., they do not appear on the desktop).
What's even more frustrating is that all my Verbatim DVDs work on both my 5-year-old PowerBook and on the new MacBook Pro. According to the tech specs on Apple.com and according to Apple tech support (on the phone), the MacBook Pro and MacBook optical drives/Superdrives are the same and read at the same speeds. Logically, the MacBook should be able to mount and read Verbatim DVD-Rs if the MacBook Pro can... but it can't.
I even took my MacBook to my local Apple store's Genius bar where they also tried the Verbatim DVD-Rs on the store's MacBooks, MacBookPros, and PowerBooks and the result was the same - the Verbatim DVD-R does not work on the MacBook but works on everything else.
The only illogical conclusion anyone could come up with was that there as a problem with MY MacBook and that I should schedule to have it repaired under my warranty. Of course, this would necessarily mean that all the MacBooks in the Apple store would need to be repaired as well since the Verbatim DVD-Rs didn't work on them either. hmmm.... By the way, the tech at Apple mentioned that this repair may not even solve the problem... great...
It seems to me that Apple didn't do all their homework before they released the new MacBook.
Contrary to logic, I'm going to go ahead and let Apple "repair" my MacBook and I'll post the results on this thread again. This is very disappointing coming from Apple. My old PowerBook (5 years old) reads everything with no problem. I would have imagined that anything new and "better" from Apple would do the same.
Please post if you you've had similar problems with Verbatim DVDs and the MacBook, especially if you've had a successful solution.
Thanks!

i got the same stupid problem: decided to transfer all my movies to Verbatim DVD-Rs, but they ALL failed on the stage of VERIFICATION! i always counted Verbatim as reliable and i'm sure the problem IS in the OPTICAL drive!
why Apple can't fix this problem???
dallonso, did they fix your problem with the optical drive or it still remains?

Future Mac owner coming from PC

Hello all,
I'm coming from the PC side of music making.
The last time I used a Mac for music was back on Sound Tools on my 2Si and Opcode's Vision.
So I'm a little out of the loop
I'm getting an iMac.
What difference will I see between the 2.8 and 3.06 Processors.
What difference will I see between 2 and 4GB of memory.
On my PC, I have one Hard Drive for my system files and programs, one Hard Drive for my loops, and another for my audio recordings.
I don't know how efficient the Mac OS is for hard drive usage.
So; If I run with many loops, should they be installed to another drive.
Is it OK to keep your loops and audio recordings on the same hard drive.
Do you place them on the internal drive, or external drive.
And speaking of external drives, how well do firewire soundcards work in tandem with external firewire hard drives?
How about using a firewire audio interface and putting audio and loops on USB?
I know there are many questions here, so If there is a web site that already addresses all of this, please post the link instead of typing your fingers off.
As I said, I'm new to the "new" Mac world and don't even know where to begin to look for answers.
Thanks so much for your help!
Peter

I just bought a 3.06 GHz iMac mostly for running Logic. Here's my setup: System Files and Program Files on internal drive, essential sound samples and instruments on main internal drive (e.g. EXS samples), nonessential samples on FireWire 800 external drive (e.g. Reason samples). Recordings on External drive. I have not yet purchased another External Drive devoted to recording. I don't do a lot of live recording, but if I did I'd have a second external drive for that.
Your iMac will come with two Firewire ports. One is FW 800 the other is FW 400. If you get a FW audio interface (get one, don't get USB, not fast enough), get FW 800 external drives, keep them on one port, and then put your FW 400 Audio interface on the FW 400 port. There's some sense out there that once you attach a FW 400 device to either port, you slow the FW 800 drives to FW 400 speeds. I just posted a discussion about it here, and the response is that it isn't that simple. I have found that my FW 400 Audio Interface (Focusrite Sapphire) does not slow down my FW 800 drive. I think its because I have them on two different ports and that does matter (even though they share the same internal bus).
I bought the 3.06 GHz iMac, not really for the faster processor, but for the better video card, the nVidia 8800 GS (which is apparently really an underclocked 8800 GT--the same high end video card used in the Mac Pro). I did this because Apple has announced that it will shortly be coming out with a new OS version, called Snow Leopard, which will have few if any new features, but is intended to make the OS much more efficient at using two things: multiple Cores, and the GPU (graphics card), but dumping more work onto the GPU than the current and previous versions of the OS. Also, Apple has recently been moving away from ATI cards to making most of its current line (all laptops for instance) to nVidia graphics cards. I presume (but do not know) that support in Snow Leopard from Apple will be geared much more heavily toward nVidia, and that graphics chip, which when you look at the specs on Apple's iMac page, show the card has at least 2-3 or more times the computing capacity of the ATI cards on the lower end iMacs. You can build-to-order the 2.8 GHz iMac with the faster nVidia video card if you buy it online. The cost savings is just, I think, $200. So, I figured I'd just fork over the extra little bit of money for the best processor, video card, and larger stock HD.
If I had to buy it over again, I'd get the 1TB internal drive. Its eSATA II, with transfer speeds up to 3Gps, which means it is theoretically as much as two times faster than even a FW 800 drive will be (I think). I went with the stock 500 GB internal drive.
As to RAM, boost it to 4 Gigs. I did. Its cheap. Crucial has the right RAM for it at just $56 for the entire 4 Gig kit (you remove the original 2x1 Gig modules and replace them with 2 x 2 Gig modules). Simple as pie to do by the way. Apple charges $150 for this upgrade. Its a ripoff. The RAM may not "speed up" Logic, but it will do two things that you will want. It will allow Logic to add more effects and instruments simultaneously into RAM, thereby reducing the need to read/write from your drives. It will also allow you to run other stuff in the background without getting out of Logic (e.g. Safari). Besides, for just $56, you'll know you have your machine in optimum shape to do what you want, and if you hit a wall, you won't be sitting there wondering: "is it the RAM?"
By the way, so far, I have found the iMac more than fast enough to handle seemingly ridiculous loads (to test it while I still had time to return it, I created a song with four very sample heavy EXS tracks, two Sculpture tracks, and an Ultrabeat track). I threw on Space Designer to five of the seven tracks, along with the master track (I know, sounded dumb, but that wasn't the point), along with compressors, modulators, and numerous other insert effects). With all of this going on, the highest CPU load I hit was 55%. I then, just to check it out, had Logic running in the background playing the song, launched Safari, Mail, Word, and Photoshop CS3. Not a hiccup. Only when I then launched Bridge CS3, and it drew 800 MB of my original 2 Gigs of RAM, did Logic stop and tell me I had insufficient system resources. After buying the extra 2 Gigs of RAM, ran the song, the other stuff, and couldn't believe this machine could get all of this done. Nice. I kept the iMac.

Convert software instrument tracks to audio

I'm trying to get up to speed with Logic after having been a Digital Performer user for years. One place I'm struggling is trying to convert a track that's basically MIDI controlling a software instrument into a new track that contains the underlying audio (with all effects) of the software instrument.
I used to do this in DP by sending the software instrument to a bus and then "recording"
The bus structure on Logic is quite a bit more confusing (to me) compared to DP and the manuals have too much information to find the answer quickly.
Hoping that someone can point the way.
Thanks
D

Either route that Instrument track to a Bus and select that Bus as an Input for an audio track (now possible in Logic 8) and record in realtime (enable software monitoring in your Audio prefs and use the Input monitor of the new track to monitor the recording, select "no output for the recording Bus) or use the normal "bounce" function which will bounce your Instrument also in offline mode which is faster ("solo" the Instrument before bouncing!). After bouncing import that Audio file onto a new track. I presonally prefer the Bus recording method as the waveforms are created whilst recording.

Go To Next or Previous Edit from Source Monitor

Question was asked on another Forum and I feel it would make a great feature request for added editing efficiency in Premiere Pro.
There is currently no way to directly "Go To" Next or Previous Edit ( or Start / End) while in the Source Monitor.
If one wants to Set In and Out points in the Source Monitor for Insert or Overlay, then discovers the CTI is not in position in the timeline...One must bounce out of Source to Timeline to set the point and then return to Source to apply it.
It would be really cool and efficient to be able to use the same "Go To" Next or Previous Edit short cut Keys from the Timeline (Sequence) in the Source Monitor.
Arrow Up / Arrow Down or Shift- Arrow Up / Shift-Arrow Down ( as well as Home/End and Pg Up / Pg Dn)
(Maybe with additional Modifier but preferably the same)
Currently I use Shortcut keys to focus to Source , Program and Timeline..but eliminating that for a more direct way ..would be a definite advantage in speed and logic.

Make sure theres a check mark beside the songs. If there check and still not going to the next song try reinstalling or updating iTunes

Please note: I am not connected with Soundtoys in any way. I am simply posting this here as useful information for LPX users...

Is it perhaps because of a clash between a stereo only plugin and a mono aux channel?

Probably a really dumb question, but how...

Hello everyone. I am new to Mac and Logic. I am doing a one-on-one tutorial with an Apple "genius" once a week to try and get up to speed on Logic, but I need to get something sorted out right now. I am producing a podcast for shortwave transmission and the file needs to be in mono. My question is, how do you set the export to mono? I see no options on the bounce menu to export in mono.
Thanks in advance

I'm not sitting in front of logic but I think the master fader has a button to change it from stereo to mono. When it is in stereo mode it has 2 interlocked circles. When in mono, it has 1 circle.

Speeding up logic
