3external midi white in track

Hello, I think that I set up the external midi correctly. But when I goto record, the track is white. I have pressed the mute button and it turns grey. I can hear the piano in my audio interface input 1. I have the piano set up in the environment and all channels and track selected in that multi instrument in the environment. I can also see the notes on the midi track, but the track is not green like an instrument track would. I can also hear the notes through my speakers and the audio track that I set up is recording the incoming audio and playing back. I am new to logic, but understand, so bare with me. Thanks lou.

SORRY---------- In my Subject I put 3 external midi white tracks.....** its only 1 track that I am trying. Please help. Lou.

Audio and Midi Jumping/Swithching Tracks in Arrange Window

I've had an issue with audio and Midi information switching tracks in the arrange window. Granted, I'm new with Logic. But as I'm working in an audio Track (let's say track 3), I happen to undo a record pass or delete something, and the next thing I know, all the tracks have jumped up one -- so the Midi drums in track 10 are in nine, playing the piano insert. The Midi Piano is up in 8 doing nothing (because track 8 is an audio track), etc. etc. etc. Very annoying -- even when the tracks are frozen.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

I've had this happen in the past.
What version of Logic are you working on?

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

Dan,
It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
Hope that helps

How to make definitive a midi drum mapped track

It escapes me the way to make definitive a midi drum mapped track. In other words I'd want to transform all mapped notes in real notes.

Moving the faders on control surface records midi parts on tracks..

moving the faders on control surface records midi parts on tracks that aren't being recorded.. How can I disable this?
Euphonix MC Mix

Are your MC Mix in Eucon mode? If you use a midi mode, there's a possibility the MC Mix is sending MIDI messages. And are you sure we're talking midi parts and not automation?

IPod freezes mid-way through tracks

starting this morning, my iPod started randomly freezing mid-way through tracks. the track will continue to play, but the bar tracking the duration stops advancing. when the track ends it stops. when i touch the buttons or wheel nothing happens. to play music again i have to reset the ipod. sometimes it repeats this problem in an hour, sometimes i get several hours of use before it freezes again.
this happened with my previous ipod, in early 2006, and after a month the internal disc stopped working and i had to trade it in and buy this one. can i fix it now, or am i doomed to lose an ipod a year, just after the warranty ends?

Try disabling hard disk use.
(Itunes -> Edit -> Preferences -> Ipod -> General)
I've tried most of the answers suggested on these discussion boards - I've restored to factory settings (several times), I've tried running chkdsk on the Ipod from Windows XP, I've rolled back to ITunes v4 (the one on the cd I got with the Ipod) and none of them worked.
Then I just unchecked the box to allow the Ipod to be used as a hard disk and (so far) that seems to have done the trick (I've played several albums without any skipping or freezing so far).
I'm still on Itunes v4. I'll try upgrading to v5 or v6 and see if it still works.
Good luck.

Splitting Midi To different tracks

Hey,
Is there anyway to split a midi part to separate channels. Let me explain - Say you have you sequence a kick snare and hihat on one midi part. Then is there an option to split each part to there own channel (so the kick will be on one track and the snare will be on its own etc).
Sounds complicated but this means you could then mix down better and add different parameters to each part. I know you can do this in Cubase so was wondering if there was something similar on Logic.
Cheers.

There are several ways to deal with this. If you are using something like BFD, Superior, etc - make a multi instance of the virtual instrument. In the VI assign each drum to a different output bus, then each drum will come up on a seperate channel in your mixer..
If you were using a stereo instance - would be to mute all drums, but the kick, and record that to audio, then the snare, hats, etc. One at a time, that way you have complete control over it. You can go back later, and replace the snare, change pitch etc. without disturbing the rest of the mix.

Can't open Files with MIDI and WAV Tracks

Hey All,
I can't open some files anymore. They seem to be files that have MIDI drum tracks and WAV tracks. It seems to try to load the MIDI sound 2 times, then NOTHING. I have to click the GB icon in the dock to get the window to show, BUT then the play, rr, ff, ect buttons don't show, and the close, minimize buttons don't respond. The menu bar is REAL twitchy and you can't click on anything. I have to force quit the app. I have tried loading other files with just WAV tracks and they open fine, and some files with fewer(2) number of MIDI tracks.
I have opened these files before just to listen to them and play with settings but i didn't save them. I have repaired permissions and cleaned the cache, ect. with OnyX.
Anyone have any ideas?

UPDATE
Talked to Apple Support and we went through all the Rapair Permissions, Clean Cache, Prefs, Ect. Finally saw that when I switched to Project Mode, THAT was Freezing the Garageband Screen. (The Files that were screwed were saved in the Project Mode, so when they opened up they were still in the Project Mode) We Finally unplugged all External things and Rebooted to Safe Mode, and then tried again.
And 2 and a half hours later Garageband now works fine. Nice to have apple techs stuborn enough to keep going.

Global Track - Chords (Only selected Midi and Audio Tracks)

I am looking to have only certain Audio/Midi tracks be trsposed when there is a change of chords in the Global Track section. For example, I am going C/Am/C. At the Am point, everthing (exclusing drums) gets transposed, even the Melody parts. Is there any way to select only the tracks that I want tranposed?
Or is there a better way of doing this. Appreciate the help.

Hi Again
I tried it out today and on the Midi tracks I found the no hassle in ticking the non transpose button. Worked great.
On the audio loop tracks I could not find the no transpose option in the inspector. Appreciate your assistance.

Midi and Audio tracks simultaneously armed for recording

All, whilst engaged in laying down the bass track for the guitar solo section of my latest monster his, I encountered one of those sorts of frustrations that makes one long for some means of swift egress from this mortal coil, this vale of tears: that is, while laying down my totally awesome bass track that when they hear it will send JP Jones and Boosty Collins to employee as actuaries, I kept getting the hateful "unable to synchronize the audio and midi error." I'll spare you the catalog of the various lame attempts I understood to remedy this problem, as well as the curses directed toward my fate, and Daw ineptitude in general. Then I nnoticed that both the software instrument tracks (Addictive drums) and the audio track (aforementioned bass) were both armed for recording, signified by the red R in the track header! Well, upon de-arming the software instrument track I was able to record by bass line in a mimimum of takes, and as visions of illegal intozicants and comen of questionable morals dance through my noggin as recompsense for my trouble, with to make the point to all relative newbies such as myself that the answer to problems that seem on surface intractable as usually staring you right in the glazed eyeball.

What?...
I'm sorry maybe I don't understand everything you are sayng... but I can replay to the titles of the Topic!
Actually recording a MIDI instrument and an Audio Track symultaneously comes with serious bug!!!
you cannot use Punch-in on Fly when an Audio and instrument track is armed at the same time...
or better you can but the MIDI and audio output will be dropped for a moment
Provide a Logic feedback
http://www.apple.com/feedback/logicpro.html!
THIS IS A LOGIC 8 BUG!!! BIGGEST SERIOUS BUG!
I suggest you to use Logic 7 when you need that!
Thank you so much for remember me this..
I'm sorry no alternative solution... or.. if you have 2 Macs you can use one for Logic MIDI and another one for Logic Audio!

Midi and audio tracks are not synchronised properly?

no problem for a year and then after synchronizing my old Roland VS 880 in order to transfer audio tracks to a new project in my mac all new audio recordings run out of sync with the midi percussion tracks. They move along together but not quite in sync. It sounds as though the guitar parts have been badly played but believe me that is not the case.

Good question. I don't know. If the sampling frequency changed it did it on it's own because I have never even come across that before. I am going to look around logic to try and educate myself but so much time has been lost already I am at my wits end. We couldn't talk could we? Are you with skype?

Midi merge per track?

Hi guys,
I've recorded kick drum, snare and some hi-hats onto the same instrument track in Logic.
Manually. That is, first the kick, then the snare and finally the hats.
Now I have three MIDI regions, one above the other, on the "same" instrument track.
Imagine my surprise when I inspected the MIDI region on top, and could only see the hihats while kick and snare were sounding, too.
Of course, I want all three in the same MIDI region for easier editing etc.
Isn't there an easy way I can accomplish this? I f ound the function called merge midi per track, but it didn't do what I expected
Anyone shed some light?
Cheers;
Eivin:D

File>Project Settings>Recording
In "Overlapping Recordings", found under MIDI, select "Merge with selected regions".

Logic Pro 9 When I open a file which contains a composition of many midi and audio tracks, no sounds play or some tracks are playing the wrong sounds. The project was working perfect when it was saved and closed down.

Does anyone else understand what is happeneing, its like all the tracks and plugins are confused and are playing all the wrong sounds if at all. I've checked the audio setting which seem fine but cant understand where it all goes horribly wrong. Thanks

Is it just a Logic problem; can you for-instance play audio in iTunes trough the Tascam? And what about new projects; you get audio there?

White macbook track pad,

I cant click on my track pad, The top part moves the pointer, but the bottom does not enter or open thiongs.
When I conect a mouse, that work fine,so its seems like hardware. Any easy fixes out there?
THANKS ROB

No, for that you need the glass trackpad. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3448

Macbook Pro (mid 2012) inbuilt Track pad behaving erratically after fresh install of Yosemite 10.10.2

I recently did a fresh install of the OS from online recovery. Mountain Lion was installed which I immediately upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2. The trackpad started behaving erratically after two days. I seems that it started since I plugged one of my wifi router on the lan port. The trackpad is impossible to move as it seems to have a mind of its own. An external mouse connected works fine. Any help please !

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.
