Annoying Solo Situation

This is something that has been driving me nuts in Logic for years and I just wanted to check to see if any one has a better way to do things...
When I solo a track from my Mackie Control it enables the track solo. That's great, that's what I want to do, but let me paint a scenario to describe the problem... Let's say I have a vocal track and a guitar track and they are both sending to a reverb. Now I use track solo to 'solo' the guitar track. When I do so, I hear the guitar and the reverb return, but the reverb return includes EVERYTHING that is sending to the reverb, ie I hear the reverb of the vocals (but not the clean vocal signal). For the life of me I can't understand why I would want that. I just want to hear the guitar and the guitar reverb only.
Now I'm aware of 2 workarounds for this, but they are both really slow and incredibly annoying. 1) You can solo the guitar and then mute every other track that is sending to the reverb. This works, but it's a huge pain when you have a lot of tracks. 2) You can use the 'region solo' to solo the guitar. This also works, but it takes a few seconds to enable and you have to be careful as you navigate the arrange window because you can deselect the region removing the solo. And as an aside, once I start messing with both types of solo at the same time it gets unbelievably frustrating. I understand that the intent is to add flexibility, but to me, this is just needless complication of a very simple function.
Does anyone know of a way to set up logic so I can solo a track by pushing the solo button on the controller without hearing any other audio? Is there some kind of setting that I'm over looking? Is there a way to manage this by using solo safe or something in some combination that I'm not thinking of? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Lou

Select the region that you need to soloes listening...
and click "S" on Transport windows or ("S" in the keyboard of your mac)
Logic comes with many different kinds os "Solos" function...
Logic is the most advanced Daw also for this reason...
there are 2 ways of Solo/Mute function...
Solo Regions: Allow you to freeing CPU Power resource in order to edit a single track with maximum power ... this help for real time process editing
SOLO button on the channel strips:
this is te tipical Solo ways... such as Analog Mixer... but allow you to listen the Buss effectes that are related with the track...
ther is third way...
read the manual...
enjoy...
you are working with the killer Daws!!!
Logic is the Number ONE!
This is avery unique Logic features...
it is useful...
when you will see how to use this great solos features... you will be able to understand about what I'm talking about!

Frequent WLan disconnections on Equium M40X-230

My laptop suffers frequent disconnections from the internet and it is getting very annoying. Situation is the laptop connects wirelessly to the net via a Belkin router. The router is working ok, and I use Aol for ISP.
Our second laptop, also a Toshiba but a Sattelite A30-203 does not suffer the problems despite using the same router.
Both laptops have service pack 2 on and the M40 is mobile centrino whilst the Sattelite has a wireless adaptor card installed (also Belkin).
If I watch the connection speed it varies between 54mbps and 1mbps and still says that the signal strength is excellent no matter what the speed is.Does this mean the problem lies with the laptop or its settings, or does it need chipset drivers to be upgraded?
Any help would be appreciated as the slow performance especially when loading pages on the net is driving me daft.

Hi
You should know that there are different WLan standards which supports different properties.
The standards are 802.11 A, B or G. At this time the wireless 802.11 G standard supports the fastest connection.
The best combination is the using of the router and Wlan card which supports the same standard.
You have suggested that the Satellite A30 uses the Belkin WLan adapter. I assume there is the best compatibility between Belkin router and Belkin WLan card. Therefore you will get the best performance.
However, on your Equium you should check the WLan card properties. There you should find some options which could increases the card and connectivity performance.
Important: The power saving option should be disabled in the card properties. Try also to set the WLan range to the highest level.
Additionally its advisable checking the WLan card driver updates. If you use a Intel WLan card check the Intel page for updates.

Quicktime Pro not unlocked

I upgraded to Snow Leopard and have the latest version. This left me with two versions of Quicktime (7.6.3 and 10.0) which I have in the Applications folder. I then installed Logic Studio and, according to the manual, expected the installation process to unlock the multimedia capabilities of Quicktime Pro but I do not see the Pro version anywhere. Subsequent updating to Logic pro 9.1.0 (32 bit) made no difference.
Is this a compatibility problem with Snow Leopard or should I have left Quicktime 7 in the Utilities folder? Any ideas on how I can unlock the Pro features easily - or do I need to reinstall from scratch?
Any help appreciated, thanks

Ahh, don't even get me started on the Quicktime debacle with SL...
If you already had a QT pro key, you should still have it authorised. But you'll never 'see' any of the pro features (for now) in the new standard QT player that launches, even if you have them. You really do have to dig down into the utilities folder and use the old QT7 app. Or are you saying that even when you do launch that app, you still have the 'pro' features blocked?
In my case, I already had a key for QT pro, so it still all just works (albeit more clumsily) now. I wasn't aware that you are supposed have all the pro features unblocked as part of having purchased Logic. If this is the case, you should prob just call Apple support and tell them what happened. Maybe if you give them proof of purchase, a serial number or something, they'll give you an unlock key to sort out the problem.
Basically it's all because they are currently migrating all the QT code to a brand new framework, which currently is pretty bare. So they left QT7 with all the pro features behind as a courtesy, before the new Quicktime X is more feature-rich. Arstechnica did a very detailed explanation of this if you want to read more. In the meantime, it's a fairly annoying compromise situation.

TS1363 is it possible to restore files to an ipod, that had been deleted whilst trying to sync with ITunes - 1st time sync???...

Good evening, hopefully you can help a poor fellow in a big problem. Tried to sync - 1st time - ITunes on a new computer. Instead of syncing, it wiped all the music files off of my IPod Series 4. Too make matters a bit more complicated, the IPod has a defective power on/off button, that has dislodged itself and doesn't actually do anything. Please, tell me that I have not lost all my music, and that it can be restored. It has not backed up/saved to ITunes on this computer. Thanks in advance for your help in this most bloody annoying of situations...

So you did not copy your iTunes library from old computer to new computer?
Please, tell me that I have not lost all my music, and that it can be restored.
Do yo u have the old computer with your iTunes on it?
Do you have a backup of that old computer?
Yoo can take the iPod into an Apple store and have them take a look at it.

How many crashes have you had today?

Hi guys!
Just interested to know generally, how many crashes people have per session?
I'm using G5 dual 2.3 Ghz 4.5 GB Ram, with Logic 7.1.1 and OSX 10.4.9
I regularly have 1 or 2 and sometimes 3!
I have now got used to seeing the familiar pop up "Logic has quit unexpectedly"
Is this the norm?
Cheers
Mike

I haven't had many crashes at all lately. Let me even over-state the case and say that I crash once a week.
But the question is this: what am I doing that causes Logic to crash? I'd say that 99% of the time, crashing can be attributed to one of three things...
• opening multiple songs at once, where one of them ends up calling for more samples to be loaded into RAM than Logic can handle. It's 75/25 that Logic will crash.
• Sometimes, using one of Logic's more touch-and-go features (beat mapping, for example) or performing an operation that's inherently buggy will corrupt a song, and that will cause a crash. If I'm able to remedy the problem within the file, no more crashing.
• something inexplicable that's extremely difficult to pinpoint the cause of, i.e., "who knows". But these are few and far between on my system.
Now... I'm running 7.1.1 on 10.4.5. I have VERY few 3rd party plugs on my system. I can run Mail, Safari, Transmit, Text Edit, Excel, and a variety of other programs all at the same time and, like DR9, I rarely shut my computer off. Sometimes I'll even check my mail while I'm doing a real-time bounce within Logic (hee hee). I say all this to show that crashing isn't necessarily a "given" with Logic, though I will say that it took me a looooong time to arrive at a system configuration where Logic was this stable.
Now#2... recently I was at a studio where I installed Logic 7.1.1 on their system with 10.4.9. It was a ******* nightmare, because Logic was crashing constantly. But then again, so was PT on that same computer... We thought it might be a USB problem, because the crashing seemed to occur on either program when we moved the mouse and activated the dock. Then we thought it might be a graphics problem because the entire computer would hang when one of the funky dialog windows was opened (i.e. Logic's preference windows). Was it 10.4.9 that was causing the problem? Or just a funky system? Hard to say...
The long and short of it is that Logic shouldn't be crashing so often on you like this. Could be a corrupt song, could be that you're trying to do something that Logic doesn't like, could be that your system needs a good clean-up. Who knows, but it's not normal.
I hope you can get to the bottom of it because I know first-hand how ******* annoying this situation is and I feel your pain.

T530 boots only at second attempt

Hi guys,
I bought used T530 via ebay, but got several unpleasant surprises, when it was delivered.
HDD had reported problems, there was Supervisor Password set, etc. On the other hand - more then 800 days guarantee left.
Decided to keep it, as it was a good deal (not sure anymore), but mainly as I need computer these days and can't afford time to search for a new one.
Anyway, it has more then 800 days rest guarantee, so HDD is already replaced by Lenovo.
Supervisor Password was another challenge, but some guy remove it. He said - without any welding, so guarantee should be still valid.
Still one very annoying problem persists:
My new T530 always fails the first boot after shutdown. Not after reboot, only after shutdown.
When I press the power button, it lights green, disk led blinks, WiFi led blinks, DVD shows some activity and ... nothing, blank screen. No more LEDs are up, only green power button (and slight noise from inside - HDD or more probably - the fan).
Then I have to press and keep for 2-3 seconds power button, it goes off.
Then press power button again and ... bingo. Everything looks perfect - BIOS screen comes, and it boots perfectly fine.
Once booted it works very well. Tested it with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1
Run all Lenovo diagnostics - no any issue.
I did a lot of attempts to bye-pass this: hard reset, with battery, without battery, only AC, only batter, removed any device that can be removed - DVD, HDD - the same story.
Even try to remove the memory, but then I got (expected) beeps 1-3-3-1.
One more observation - I can't reach AMT BIOS - in fact I don't have AMT, even according the FRU number I should have. I see AMT options in main BIOS, but when I press Ctrl+P nothing happen - it just continues with the boot.
Who knows - may be some (smart) previous owner already selected "Permanently Disable" option for AMT.
Can this be the "blocking" issue, that prevents the notebook to continue with the POST? I tried to set AMT to "Disable" only, but this did not help at all.
One last point - except annoying situation, that I have to follow some "ritual" in order to start my notebook, there is one real impact - no way to upgrade the BIOS firmware. Does not matter is it via Windows 7/8 or boot (DOS) CD - at the end after patching the firmware, it tries to reboot (but not just reboot, it makes real shutdown).
Then, on one hand it "hangs", because of the problem that I still can't identify, on the other hand it "knows" that BIOS upgrade is going on and does not allow me to switch off via power button - (gives strange, undocumented short beeps: 2-3) So, I have to unplug power, remove battery (yes, I know I can "brick" it, but do you see any other option?), hard resent, prey, switch on again (up to 3-4 times) and finally (so far - always) I get old BIOS version restored.
OK, sorry for the logs post. I hope you will have string nerves to read it all.
Any help and ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Of course, at the end: "Contact Lenovo support" is the ultimate answer of any problem. But there is a trade off there as well - what is more annoying - current situation or time, waiting till notebook is serviced.
Best Regards
BullDog

Movieclip dragging annoying situation

I have this movieclip (instance of mc for the sake of this tread ) and i have a dragging method attached to it (see code below) but the probem is everytime the movieclip is 'clicked' the movieclip returns to the center of its self. Now the dragging method; there is nothing wrong with it, i have it working on many other movieclips, my theory is that the reason this one does not preform the way i told it to, is because i have textfields displaying data from a API inside of them.
Here is my code to drag it:
var completeTween:Boolean;
var finalMouseX:int;
var startMouseX:int;
var finalMouseY:int;
var startMouseY:int;
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onDown1);
mc.buttonMode = false;
function onDown1(e:MouseEvent):void {
    startMouseX = e.currentTarget.mouseX;
    startMouseY = e.currentTarget.mouseY;
    completeTween = false;
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onUp1);
    MovieClip(e.currentTarget).addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, tweenF);
function tweenF(e:Event):void {
    var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(e.currentTarget);
    if (completeTween) {
        mc.x = .5 * (mc.x + Math.min(745.75, finalMouseX));
        mc.y = .5 * (mc.y + Math.min(745.75, finalMouseY));
        if ((Math.abs(mc.x - Math.min(745.75, finalMouseX)) < 1) && (Math.abs(mc.y - Math.min(745.75, finalMouseY)) < 1)) {
            e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, tweenF);
    } else {
        mc.x = .5 * (mc.x + Math.min(745.75, mouseX - startMouseX));
        mc.y = .5 * (mc.y + Math.min(745.75, mouseY - startMouseY));
function onUp1(e:MouseEvent):void {
    completeTween = true;
    finalMouseX = mouseX - startMouseX;
    finalMouseY = mouseY - startMouseY;
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onUp1);
If you would like to see the code that is retrieving the data then, :
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=SFGiants"));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
loader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,loadProgress2);
function loadProgress2(e:ProgressEvent):void
progress_txt2.text = String(Math.floor((e.bytesLoaded/e.bytesTotal)*100));
trace(e.bytesLoaded,e.bytesTotal);
function loadComplete(e:Event):void
processData(e.target.data);
function processData(data:String):void
var tweets:Array = JSON.decode(data) as Array;
for (var i:int=0; i<8; i++)
var tf:TextField=new TextField();
tf.mouseEnabled = false;
tweet1.text = tweets[1].text;
tweet2.text = tweets[2].text;
tweet3.text = tweets[3].text;
tweet4.text = tweets[4].text;
tweet5.text = tweets[5].text;
tweet6.text = tweets[6].text;
tweet7.text = tweets[7].text;
tweet8.text = tweets[8].text;
tweet9.text = tweets[9].text;
tweet10.text = tweets[10].text;

I am not sure what calculations in the code are meant to accomplish (first impression is that there is an overkill going on) but why don't you use regular startDrag() method or do it on MOUSE_MOVE event?

Bug report submitted re Input Mode affected by ACR 4.2 Mac - very annoying

Just submitted a bug report to Adobe. ACR 4.2, Photoshop 10, Tiger 10.4.10, PowerPC.
Most users in the US and the UK may not even run across this situation.
If you use a non US standard keyboard layout as your Input mode, causing ACR 4.2 to launch, either from Bridge, Photoshop, or the Finder, this switches the selected keyboard to the US standard. If you click the Cancel button in ACR, the keyboard reverts back to your custom keyboard layout; but if you click Open, the US standard keyboard remains set even after quitting Photoshop, ACR and Bridge.
It took me a while to figure out what was causing me to loose my preferred keyboard layout. It didn't dawn on me ACR 4.2 was doing it. Observing a few screen shots led me to discover the cause.
It's most annoying.

The choices in Bridge > Preferences > Advanced > International > Keyboard are limited, and they do not allow for choosing custom keyboard layouts.
I need the custom keyboard layouts for a variety of reasons, such as being able to type in seven languages with my most used one without switching, two Russian layouts to allow for two non-standard ways of encoding Russian fonts, etc.

I can't seem to update icloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar. Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...

Pardon my ignorance. I have scoured the forums and no one seem to touch on the exact subject I am talking about.
I can't seem to update iCloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar with all connectivity turned on (sync,push,pull,slap whatsoever).
Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud (sluggishly and not due to connection problem, so i'd nice to have a status bar telling me whether or not it's active and doing some updating) so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...
Simplified version:
-Events created on the iphone doesnt get on icloud.
-When iphone is synced with ical on mac and changes are made on Mac, changes are not immediately reflected on iphone unless clicked "sync"
-I just want to view a live ical at all times without going to safari and opening up the web iCal. I want to view a 100% live iCal on the native iCal via iPhone. Like google docs! Is that too much to ask!?
Iphone seemed to have a "push" or "sync in this many minutes" option for iCal, but that seemed like it's only receiving changes, and not send out changes made via phone. Very confusing, very annoying!

Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

Any ideas on how to do a local mirror for this situation?

I'm starting a project to allow ArchLinux to be used on a Cluster environment (autoinstallation of nodes and such). I'm going to implement this where I'm working right now (~25 node cluster). Currently they're using RocksClusters.
The problem is that the connection to internet from work is generally really bad during the day. There's a HTTP proxy in the middle. The other day I tried installing archlinux using the FTP image and I took more than 5 hours just to do an upgrade + installing subversion and other packages, right after an FTP installation (which wasn't fast either).
The idea is that the frontend (the main node of the cluster) would hold a local mirror of packages so that when nodes install use that mirror (the frontend would use this also, because of the bad speed).
As I think it should be better to only update the mirror and perform an upgrade not very often (if something breaks I would leave users stranded until I fix it), I thought I should download a snapshot of extra/ and current/ only once. But the best speed I get from rsync (even at night, where an HTTP transfer from kernel.org goes at 200KB/s) is ~13KB/s this would take days (and when it's done I would have to resync because of any newer package that could have been released in the meantime).
I could download extra/ and current/ at home (I have 250KB/s downstream but I get like ~100KB/s from rsync), record several CDs (6!... ~(3GB + 700MB)/700MB) but that's not very nice. I think that maybe this would be just for the first time. Afterwards an rsync would take a lot less, but I don't know how much less.
Obiously I could speed things a little If I download the full ISO and rsync current using that as a base. But for extra/ I don't have a ISOs.
I think this is a little impractical (to download everything) as I wouldn't need whole extra/ anyways. But it's hard to know all packages needed and their dependencies to download only those.
So... I would like to know if anyone has any ideas on how to make this practical. I wouldn't wan't my whole project to crumble because of this detail.
It's annoying because using pacman at home, always works at max speed.
BTW, I've read that HOWTO that explains how to mount pacman's cache on the nodes to have a shared cache. But I'm not very sure if that's a good option. Anyway, that would imply to download everything at work, which would take years.

V01D wrote:After installation the packages that are in cache are the ones from current. All the stuff from extra/ won't be there until I install something from there.
Anyway, if I installl from a full CD I get old packages which I have to pacman -Syu after installation (that takes long time).
Oh, so that's how is it.
V01D wrote:
I think I'm going to try out this:
* rsync at home (already got current last night)
* burn a DVD
* go to work and then update the packages on DVD using rsync again (this should be fast, if I don't wait long time after recording it)
And to optimize further rsync's:
* Do a first install on all nodes an try it out for a few days (so I install all packages needed)
* Construct a list of packages used by all nodes and frontend
* Remove them from my mirror
* Do further rsync updates only updating the files I already have
This would be the manual approach of the shared cache idea I think.
Hmm... but why do you want to use rsync? You'll need to download the whole repo, which is quite large (current + extra + testing + community > 5.1GB, extra is the largest). I suggest you to download only those packages and their dependencies that you use.
I have similar situation. At work I have unlimited traffic (48kbps at day and 128kbps at night), at home - fast connection (up to 256kbps) but I pay for every megabyte (a little, but after 100-500 megabytes it becomes very noticeable). So I do
yes | pacman -Syuw
or
yes | pacman -Syw pkg1 pkg2 ... pkgN
at work (especially when packages are big), then put new downloaded files on my flash drive, then put them into /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ at home, and then I only need to do pacman -Sy before installing which takes less than a minute.
I have 1GB flashdrive so I can always keep the whole cache on it. Synchronizing work cache <-> flash drive <-> home cache is very easy.
P.S.: Recently I decided to make complete mirror of all i686 packages from archlinux.org with rsync. Not for myself but for my friends that wanted to install Linux. Anyway I don't pay for every megabyte at my work. However it took almost a week to download 5.1 GB of packages.
IMHO for most local mirror solutions using rsync is overkill. How many users are there that use more than 30% of packages from repos? So why to make full mirror with rsync when you can cache only installed packages?

I need to block my friend on imessage for ipod because he has gotten really annoying.

My friend has gotten really annoying, and i told him to stop talking to me, but that didnt work. I also dont want to make a new email becuse ive already made like 4 emails and i dont think i can keep track of another. Ive already done the me.com email, and that didnt work either. I wouldnt even care if someone hacked into his account and made his password get changed, because this guy is really ANNOYING!!
I also turned off my notes in the mail page and now most of my notes are gone, is there any way to get them back.

Depending on your situation you do have external options:
If you are a minor (under 18 in most states..) get your parents involved. Have your parents talk to your antagonist's parents.
If you are an adult, or a minor and the previous suggestion did not work, you can take legal action. There are laws against stalking and harassment. Do not blow this off, do what you have to do to protect yourself.

I used to give my photo's keywords. Most of the time I have several photo's for the same keyword and it was possible to select all those photo's and give them the keyword in one move. Since of few weeks I can't do that anymore and I find it very annoying.

Check, if you have the "Primary Only" option enabled. Then keywords will only be applied to the "Primary Image":
See: Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?
Uncheck the little square button with the "1".

Photoshop CS5 Mini Bridge Annoying Beep

I have an annoying issue with the Mini Bridge in Photoshop CS5, and I believe anyone could reproduce it if you do the following:
Open Photoshop CS5.
Have the Mini Bridge palette collapsed as an icon, docked somewhere (you can simply use the "Photography" workspace to do that).
Open anything, perhaps a new document.
Click on the Mini Bridge palette icon to open the Mini Bridge. Wait until it loads.
Then click on the same Mini Bridge icon again to collapse it.
Make sure your speakers are on.
Now press Space as you would do to pan around the document. You don't have to pan, it's enough to just press Space.
You will hear a beep sound, which you usually hear when OS X tells you that you're clicking an inactive window, or typing in a window that does not accept keyboard input, or in other similar situations. The beep will sound repeatedly while you hold Space down to pan around. It will sound each and every time you press space from then on, until you interact with the document using some other tool (like drawing something with the brush tool). Then the sound no longer happens when panning again.
The problem has occasionally happened to me when using other collapsed iconic palettes as well, however, I cannot always reproduce them.
This is a small issue that doesn't affect workflow, but having to click extra tools just to get rid of the beeping sound is very annoying, enough to make me not use the Mini Bridge.
I'm running Snow Leopard.
If anyone else can reproduce the issue, please post here. I can reproduce it every single time.

>But that's still not a proper solution.
we're not in a very good situation to know what or when Adobe will respond. We know that they are aware of many bugs but since history is all we have, CS4 had only 1 update before CS5 was released and we've already had that same first quarter update. So, without any more information I can only assume that the next fix will be after CS6 is released.
I know that Adobe can't discuss future plans...... but what Adobe can and can not do is up to them. So if Adobe wanted to announce an upcoming fix they could ( and they have in the past ). I can understand keeping new product releases under wraps, but this is just a fix for something that .... well..... we have already purchased.
>Just go to Mac 'System Preferences' - 'Sound', set the volume of the error beep to minimum and forget about it.
So, yes I have had the error sound set to "funk" and on very low for quite a while, which results in a low clicking sound.
Again, I feel like I need to repeat this, I like CS5, love PS, but some things can be better, and isn't that why we are all here. It just seems odd that you can purchase something today that has bugs but can't ask the vendor when it will be fixed?
regards.

I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

cor-el,
Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

Sample editor audition button goes silent when any track is solo'd

I've discovered that if a track in the arrange window (and others, I think) is in solo mode, it seems to override the audio audition function when I open the sample editor. This seems to be some poor heirarchical design to me because it forces me to go back to the arrange window (bye-bye sample editor!), find the solo'd track, unsolo it, move the window to hunt for the sample editor, or open another sample editor window from the track I was originally working on. A complete nuisance. Shouldn't the sample editor have priority?
Also, the solo tool is basically worthless right now because it never starts playing at the point I click on in a region. Completely inaccurate. You certainly can't zero in on any critical audio editing with this clumsy feature. Maybe it has to do with sluggish performance due to buffer setting issues??? It's a far cry from Digital Performer, where you simply highlighted a section of a region ("soundbite" in DP) and it instantly played back as soon as you let go of the mouse regardless of any solo assignments per tracks. Plus it was dead accurate. I spent the extra 700 mammies upgrading to Logic Pro mainly for the precious "marquee tool" which does s##t in terms of selecting and copying (it splits the region after you copy a selection, then you have to undo the split). Whoops, I'm ranting. Just can't believe the agony of audio editing in this beast of a program...

Excellent! I can't imagine how you discovered that...
The little "1" in the parameters indicates which audio channel the sample editor plays through - you can change it to anything, but this is not saved in a song (annoyingly enough), so whilst for most people it would be more convenient to set it to track 128 or something, we have to leave it at 1 and reserve that channel for the sample editor, or keep changing it all the time.
So it's mostly understanding of how Logic works that gets you these steps, and that comes form trial and error, experience, exploration, manual reading, and asking other people...
Could you describe the key command set-up you mention here?
Everyone of us here will have different requirements and workflows - I strongly recommend digging through the key commands window to see what useful things lay in store. Some things I use frequently others may have a different way of achieving, and some commands I never use are absolutely essential for others.
The beauty and the achilles heel of Logic is that it is so configurable - great for power users, but often it leaves new users confused as they simply don't know enough to set themselves up efficiently.
But key to efficient working with Logic are selection, navigation, zooming, screensets, linked windows (especially editor windows) and personalised key commands and autoload songs. So do explore those tools and see what they have to offer.
The tip I mentioned here doesn't help you particularly, but there are loads of key commands that will - I'd suggest starting a separate thread with just this issue and ask how others here would handle it - you might be suprised how many different answers you get - many ways to skin the same cat in Logic
But the audio editing in Logic still seems much more tedious than DP
It's also tricky to make these kind of judgements when you aren't too familiar with things - you may be right on the money, but you also may just not know key concepts and workflow tips that make things much easier.
There are plenty of new users who post along the lines of "Logic is cr.ap because..." and within a few posts it's abundantly clear that they just simply don't have a clue - I'm not implying that about you at all - I'm just simply saying that it takes time to build up workflows and explore the small little things that make or break an efficient workflow.
So I'm not saying you're wrong, but from your posts I would also guess that there's still a lot about Logic you're not on top of that could probably make you life a lot easier - so hang around here, and hopefully you should improve some workflow habits fairly quickly...
I hope that's been of some help. It's so much better when people control the rants, calm down, and start learning...!
