Arrange channel strip

Hi, ive accidently got rid of this strip from one my tunes and i can't work out how to get it back, any help pls?!
thanks
Michael.

Michael,
did you ever save the channel strip itself?
Or the song after you created that channel strip?
If not, you are out of luck.
Just create a new one, I am certain you remember what you did before and will improve on it

Channel Strip Settings Menu

Logic 7.2.3
on page 272 of the logic reference manual it says "if you click on the word Insert on any channel strip, the channel strip settings menu opens."
unfortunatley that does'nt happen for me.
any thoughts?
dual g4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

yeah ive tried in all those instances
the only point of note was that when clicking and holding on the arrange channel strip, the little timer watch icon appeared in place of the cursor for a second. the cursor then returned to the arrow
this problem continues to annoy greatly and any help would be much appreciated
thanks

Apple midi loops load incorect channel strip

when i preview a midi apple loop in the loop browser it sounds fine, but when i drag it onto an inst. channel it loads up all the wrong channel strip info. it will load the Garage band sampler but the correct samples do not load. I have used Redmatica's EXS manager and the Inst. are connected to the correct samples, and still no luck. even if i go into the EXS24 and try to load the Garage band Inst it does nothing (not even a warning saying it cant find samples) it stays unloaded. this has mainly been the drums from jam pack 2. I have reinstalled them twice. initialized my drive and reinstalled everything .
has anyone experienced something like this?

Good question with a complex answer. Let's say you have three synths you want to layer together, EXS24, ES1 and ES2. On one of those tracks in your arrange window, drop in your midi arrangement, for this example we'll say it's the EXS24. You'll notice a "plug" on the top right corner of the channel strips. Locate the plug on the EXS 24, click + hold and drag this plug to the ES1. Now repeat the process for the ES1 to the ES2. You have now changed all the instruments together, and they will respond to the the midi input from the base synth, i.e. the EXS 24.
To make this easier, it may help you to create a new layer in the environment window and then place the channel strips for those instruments on this layer. This will keep things organized for your workflow, but it's entirely optional. Hope this helps. Check out macprovideo.com for more environment + midi tricks.

Solo Button in Channel Strip with Red Line

Solo Button in Channel Strip with Red Line through it and it won't solo?
How'd it happen and how do you get rid of it?
Thanks!

Try This----From the Manual
Logic Pro, Express: Solo Safe mode may not remain disabled for a particular channel strip
Symptoms
In certain projects, "Solo Safe" mode for a channel strip may enable each time you load the project, even after you disable it and save the project.
Resolution
When a channel strip in Logic is "Solo Safe", it remains audible, even when other channel strips are soloed. Solo Safe is indicated by a diagonal red line through the solo button on a channel strip.
You can manually toggle the solo safe status of a channel strip by Control-clicking its solo button. There are times when you may find that a particular audio channel strip in a project reverts to solo safe mode when you load the project, even after you manually disable solo safe. Here is why that may happen and steps you can take to prevent it from occurring.
A Logic project contains a special audio channel strip used for pre-listening to audio in the Sample Edit window, Audio Bin, and Loop Browser. When you create a Logic project from one of the factory templates, this channel strip is assigned to "Audio 256". This channel strip stays in solo safe mode so that you can always preview audio. The image below shows the channel strip for a new, empty project.
If there is no audio channel strip in a project assigned to "Audio 256", Logic will use the highest-numbered available audio channel for pre-listening. When the project is loaded, that channel strip will be put into solo safe mode. You may find this happens in older projects that you open in Logic 8, or in cases where you have deleted the "Audio 256" channel strip in a Logic 8 project. To prevent this from affecting channel strips you are using in a project's arrangement, follow these steps:
Choose Window > Environment.
From the Environment window menu, choose New > Channel Strip > Auxiliary. A channel strip will appear in the environment.
Select the channel strip. It will highlight.
In the Device parameter box in the upper left of the Environment window, click the arrows to the right of "Channel" and choose Audio > Audio 256 from the menu.
Select the text tool, click on the name below the channel strip and name it "Prelisten".

Basic Q, Routing all the audio tracks to a bus or aux channel strip ?

I'm a little confused on this issue.
I've been doing separate tracks for the sax solos and vocals using the best parts of several tracks with automation. I've been adding the same effect in each track separately and I know this is not good. I'd like to send all the sax tracks to an aux. strip with an effect and all the vocal tracks to another strip with a different effect but I'm just a little confused about it. I see in the Mixer you can add AUX channels but I'm not sure whether to use stereo or mono for this situation ? It seems like I should use stereo because many effects are stereo.

Ok, select all your vocal tracks in your mixer->channels strips turn grey->now in the third box above the Channelstrip fader select the output to be e.g. Bus 1->Logic will automatically route Bus 1 to Aux 1 if you haven't created Busses in your environment before->insert your fx into the Aux->select all your Sax tracks->route them to Bus 2->insert your fx->done
I guess you shift select from the arrange window for multiple selections in the mixer but I just did them one at a time.
In this situation there appears to be no need to use the add AUX button. In the lower of the two I/O slots I selected Bus1 for the Sax and a new Aux1 track was created. For the Vocal I selected Bus2 and a new Aux2 was created.
---Thank you Sampleconstruct . I'm still in the dark but this was a huge help.

Where'd the channel strip go?

i've lost the channel strip, tool box, etc somehow, and can't get it back. can anyone help?

it's the whole left side, everything that's not the arrange window - MIDI THRU, Tool box, GM Device, and Channel Strip...it all disappeared. I've tried "view" but there doesn't seem to be a relevant option.

Copy Channel strips between songs

Hi I am working on a mix but its spread over two songs, I want to copy the drums and bass channel strips plugins etc from one song to another. I know if I go to audio config I can copy paste the hole song settings but I only want the first 16 tracks with plugins and fader levels. I tried a simple copy paste on the channels from the enviroment but it didn't seem to work.......

Unfortunately, you have discovered a missing feature that Logic desperately needs, if it is to continue using the word "Pro" in it's title.
As you know, you can copy from the audio configuration window, but that will replace all other track assignments, plug-ins etc... not the intended result.
You can place those 16 tracks on their own environment layer, and import that layer into the second song, but that will only copy volume and panning assignments, not plug-ins, or output assignments.
It's my opinion, that in this particular situation, this is probably the best approach:
Save channel strip settings for the first 16 tracks. Open the second song, and load each tracks channel strip. It's not hard to do... just requires a lot of mouse clicks...
As for volume and pan settings, my advice would be to open both songs at the same time. arrange the first 16 tracks of song 1's mixer at the top of your screen, and the first 16 tracks of song 2 at the bottom of your screen.
Simply set all the volumes and pans on song two manually, by looking at what's in song 1.
One trick I would suggest: Before trying to open both songs at once, disable the audio driver from the Audio Hardware & Drivers window. This will save many minutes of the spinning beachball, while Logic tries to load all plug-ins, AI's, etc, from the second song. Since you're only opening them for a visual cue, you won't need the audio driver active for this task. Trust me, doing this will make it go very fast, and save you lots of aggravation, while switching between songs, and resizing the mixer windows to see what's going on.
Don't forget to turn the audio driver back on, when you're ready to actually hear anything.
The good news is, you'll probably have all 16 tracks set-up properly, faster than the time it took me to type all of this!
Hope that helps...

Weird Channel Strips in Environment

when I click on 'new'/ 'channel strip' ( any type) in environment they show up on the monitor in piecemeal fashion. clicking on area where strip should be eventually brings up entire channel strip. has anyone else had this problem? my suspicion is that it is either a hard drive or memory problem and has little or nothing to do with Logic Studio. using a octo core 2.8 mac pro with 6 gigs of ram.

I'm on a very decently powered Mac and I too get sluggish graphics when renaming MIDI parts in the arrange window. It gets really nasty with multi instruments such as Stylus RMX and Phatmatik Pro, and that's only by selecting them.
The coveted Logic Pro update.........when indeed.
We'll see what happens.

Savin' and recalling multiple channel Strips ?

is there a way to save and recall multiple channel strips ? what i'm trying to do is for example : to set up
Ultrabeat Multi which would include several Aux's and busses with indivitual bus effect etc and recall it in a New song exactly as i saved it . how do i goabout it
thx B

Two ways you could do it.
1: set the existing setup as a template; remember to get rid of all regions in Arrange & all audio in the Audio window. Whenever you want a new song with these settings, create it using this template.
2: at the top of each channel strip just below the EQ window is a small triangle. Click on that and select 'Save Setting As . . ' and give it a memorable name.
Do that for each channel strip you wish to save. In your new song, select the strip setting you want and everything in that channel will be opened; all FX, Ultrabeat or any other Logic synth you may have had inserted.
I hope one of these helps you.

ALL VOLUMES IN ONE PRESET/CHANNEL STRIP

When mixing, is it possible within one song, to save all volumes from both audio and virtual instrument tracks as a preset in one channel strip. And then to be able to flip to another preset for a different set of volumes?
This only pertains to stationary track volumes and not pan etc.
Many thanks
Jonathan

No you can't save dynamic changes over time into a channelstrip. Channelstrip settings are static presets containing Plug In settings but not their automation over time.
You could export your automated volume as a Midi file and then drag it onto a copy of of your track so it will get affected by the Midi volume changes stored into that Midi file.
Open any automation event list with a keycommand - close your current Arrange page - open a new Arrange page - you will now see a page with all the automation regions containing the data for each track. Make a selection and use "export as Midi file" - reopen your normal Arrange page and import the Midi files you just created.
That's one way I can think of - not really an elegant way of doing this sort of thing though...
The other way would be to just copy the track's automation folder to a new track and adjust the Midi channel in the Midi event list if needed
or
on Instrument tracks make a duplicate channel - copy the Midi region together with the automation and change the Instrument Plug In

Naming channel strips one thing and tracks another..?

hi.
i have my global track header set to channel strip name so if i rename a channel strip from the arrange track then all the tracks assigned to that channel will rename the same...
BUT...
sometimes i want to name the channel strip say 'drums' but all the tracks 'kick' 'snare' 'hats' etc....
is this possible because im sure i remember it used to be...?
Thanks!!

Hi,
of course it is possible! CTRL-Click on the Track header and select whatever you want. You can even select to display 2 lines, you can edit the track header name in the inspector window and on and on...

Basic questions on channel strips

This part of the question seems only to apply to AUDIO channel strips- Anyone see in the channel strip inspector a place to choose the color as the manual says? I only get the icon and input/output transforms.
Also, anyone know how to change the order that the strips show up in on the right hand side? I'd like to be able to add a channel strip and then change the order of it.
Thanks!

Several ways: In the Mixer you can click on a track and choose View-Colors or press Option-C. That opens the color panel - pick a color.
In the Arrange view, control-click on a track in the track list, and choose 'Configure Track Header.' Select Track Color Bar at the bottom of that window. You can also select one or more regions, and press Option-C to color them. Then in Arrange -> Region you can choose Channel Strip colors to Regions.
To move the order of tracks, in the Arrange view, move your cursor over a track header until your cursor changes to a hand, then grab the track and move it up or down. That also changes the order in the mixer.

My output channel strip is in the middle of my mixer. How can I replace it next to the master?

In the mixer window of Logic Pro the output channel strip has moved to the middle of the audio strips. How can I move it back to its usual spot next to the master strip?

Sounds like you have created an Aux track for your Output channel strip, and the position of that track on the arrange page now determines the place of the output channel strip on your mixer. So, you'll have to move that track so it is the bottom track in the arrangement, then the output channel strip in the mixer should move to the right again.
It is a sorely missed (and often requested) feature to be able to move channel strips around freely in the mixer.

Automatic management of Channel Strip Objects...

This is the function that automatically creates mixer objects (i.e. channels, auxes, etc) in Logic when you add tracks. Before I discovered it, Logic 8 drove me nuts trying to outthink me, because I have a very specific pre-configured mixer environment I use (I never use the track mixer view, only the environent view). This is because I have two Mackie controls, and I very much like my mixer set up in blocks of sixteen channels (otherwise the control surfaces become kind of arbitrary). I'm also not a big fan of the track mixer because having all the mixer channels oriented in a continuous horizontal fashion gets really silly when you're doing a 56-channel mix (with 20 or so auxes to the right of that!)
Oh yes, my issue...
Even with the "Automatic Management of Channel Strip Objects" checkbox unchecked, Logic still insists on creating new aux objects in the environment when I set up a send. This is annoying and confusing, because dry sound gets routed to the main 1-2 bus (and occasionally confusing, because my default mixer is very large, so the new aux gets put somewhere where you don't immeditely see it).
Hence Logic needs a new command:
"I really, really don't want you to automatically create audio objects for me, I was really serious about it when I unchecked the Automatic Management of Channel Strip Objects checkbox, I am smart enough to handle it on my own, if I wasn't I'd use Garageband, or some other app that doesn't have the word Pro in it"
Maybe something a little shorter would suffice... or just make the Automatic Management of Channel Strip Objects checkbox work properly :>)

well, i work with a static environment layer and the track mixer for years now. this gives me the flexibility i need.
i need the track mixer for the control surface and i like to only see the channels i have in the arrange here. anything else will just waste channels on the control surface.
in addition to this i use a static environment layer for effect returns and stuff like that.
i work with a lot of hardware and this setup of track mixer and environment has been very helpfull when working.
i programmed my control surface so that i can switch between these two with a push of a button.
this is really fast and easy to work with.
maybe this stupid auto toggle back on thing is a bug. i'll writa a bug report and hope they fix it soon.
thanks anyway

Memory problems when using alias channel strips (3.0.2)

I'm having memory issues when using alias channel strips. What is happening is I create one instance of the plugin, say Massive. Then make a bunch of other alias on different patches. When looking at the memory usage everytime I add and alais it increases the memory usage by an amount the same as the origional plugin. ie. add 3 alias and you have 3 times more memory usage. See attached photos.
Original plugin instance ~80mb memory usage
Adding 3 Alias channel strips. ~330mb memory usage
By comparison here is the usage by adding 3 brand new instance of the plugins. ~160mb memory usage
By comparison it is using less memory by having 4 seperate instances of the plugin compared to using 3 alias's of the origional. This doesn't make sense since the whole point of an alias is to save memory by only loading one instance of the plugin.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Jon

What's interesting is that if I, starting with a blank concert, add a Massive to a patch and then make an alias the memory is as you say. But if I make a duplicate of the inital patch and then make alias's of that the memory is lower.
Are you seeing the same with the built-in plug-ins?
