Assign one instrument to several tracks?

Another easy one, probably.
How do I assign the same instrument to several different tracks in one go? Selecting them all and clicking on the instrument only changes the top track.
Thanks

There may be others ways of doing this but....
I simply open the Mixer.... then load the instrument into the first track
Then hold down the option key and drag & drop the instrument from the first track into the instrument slots of the other tracks...
Or.... even simpler
Create the first track, add the instrument (and FXs, auxes etc.. you want to duplicate) and then press the New Track with Duplicate settings button.... for however many dup tracks you wish....

One Instrument change affecting all tracks

I'm having a problem changing the Instrument patch in just one track: When I change the patch (on EXSP24) on a single Audio Instrument track, it automatically applies the same patch change to ALL Audio Instrument tracks. For example:
I've got drums on track 1, Instrument 1, Channel 1.
I create a new Instrument track w/new channel & a different patch. Logic then automatically assignes this new patch to the previous drum track also, as well as any other existing Instrument tracks, & any new tracks I try to create! Any change I make in one track comes up the same on every track.
What gives? Does this have anything to do with choosing Mono, Stereo or Multi Channel in the I/O slot? Does the Cycle function have anything to do with it?
This is aggravating & my ProCare tutor can't figure it out either. I'm pretty new to Logic, but then again I get the sense that so is my ProCare tutor...

I can't believe your basic question has been ignored for this long. This is something that I had hoped somebody else would give you a better answer for because it has driven me crazy as well, but I do have a work around for you that I stumbled across. The manual as usual has been unhelpful, the proper information is probably filed away in a tiny corner somewhere. Here's how I do it. Use the Create command from the the Track sub-menu of the arrange window. Logic will create a track under and with the same assignment as whatever track was highlighted prior to that command. Any changes to the assignment of either of these tracks will affect the other, which could be very useful, but shouldn't be the default in my opinion. Now click hold in the middle of the track name or icon. Follow the menu hierarchy as such: Audio>Audio Instrument>Inst X, X being a different number than the instrument number of your initial highlighted track. You could also select Audio Track, Bus, Aux or Output this way. You can now go to the channel strip and select whatever software instrument assignments you like for either track and they will work independently of each other. This is way too many commands for something as elementary as setting up a new track. I've assumed that there is a more elegant way to do this but I can't find it in the manual. If any of my fellow geniuses know of a more streamlined method, please add it to this thread.

How can I break one track into several tracks

Hello all,
Im new to Mac and garageband, My problem is when i spin a full set of lets say 2 hours into garage band as 1 track, how can I go back and break that 1 track into several tracks so when I make a cd people can change from track to track instead of listening to one track all the way through.
Thanks in Advance

Ok now that I chose the region how would I export it?
Just select "export".
And Also Do I have to export each track one by one to itunes?
Since you want to burn a CD, you need several sound files, and GB only exports one file at a time.

How does one assign a user to several groups?

I am a student learning Databases, Oracle to be exact, and am trying to install a developer's copy on my MAC G4 running OS X 10.4.11. To do this I need to assign user oracle to several user groups. Trouble is, although I know UNIX fairly well I don't know Sys Adim commands well at all. Can am one help with this one?

Thank you for your posting, however I did try this before I posted here, can assign a user to one (1) group, but can not figure out how to assign a user to more than one (1+) group. That is the root cause of my problem. Do you know how to assign more than one group? Again thank you for your input.

Multiple MIDI tracks to one instrument?

The plugin is Ultrabeat.
I like putting the kick onto one MIDI track
the snare into another MIDI track,
hats on another, etc....
Problem is, all of the MIDI tracks that route to the Ultrabeat
are the actual instrument track that has the plugin inserted onto it.
So MUTING one track mutes all the audio coming out of
the Ultrabeat Instrument track.
An attempt at a workaround is: create a Multi-instrument
in the Environment, and connect it to the Ultrabeat.
But then MUTING the MIDI tracks doesn't do anything.
The MIDI tracks play even when MUTED.
So I'm guessing Region Muting is the way we do it?
Selecting individual regions for muting and solo-ing
instead of muting and soloing the track ?
So..the MUTE button on a MIDI track is there for...NO REASON.
It's just a button that doesn't do anything.
Well.. this MIDI track has muted and non-muted regions on it.
I guess I'll need to remember which ones are muted and which
are not ?
This couldn't possibly have been something that was thought over
and planned.
Nobody in their right mind would design it this way on purpose.
A solution would be to allow MIDI tracks to be MUTED using the 'M' button

Are you talking about MIDI track on external MIDI?
your question seems to be related with Instrument tracks...
there many Muting possibilities in Logic...
I suggest to read the manual serch for "mute track"
As you can see in the manual there are tons of pages and paragraphs about MUTE function in Logic Pro... so I cannot explain all the way to MUTE a Midi or Audio
I can only say that Instruments tracks are not the same as External MIDI track device... *but Muting Instrument track is very similar as Audio and Midi mixed together functions*
'cause the Instruments channels strips are AUDIO CHANNELs STRIPs!
Maybe the following pictures can help
Try to change setting with the one shown below
CPU-savings is not the correct therm and maybe this is caused of misunderstanding...
this set allow you to individually mute the duplicate tracks...
_+The "M" button that you are metioned in your post will works as you need.+_
I'm trying to replay to the O.P question
multiple MIDI tracks to one instrument?
if you need to mute individually tracks of a single instrument the last pictures shows the best setting to achieve the result that you are looking for.

Applying One effect to several clips (not tracks!)

i have one track with about 40 clips in it of different cut up audio. i want to apply one effect to several different clips at once. how do i do that?
i know how to apply the one effect to one clip, but if i try and shift click four different clips, and then go to add an effect to it, the effects are grayed out
and i really don't want to go into each clip, add an effect, adjust it and save it for every clip.
is there an easier way?

There are a few ways to do this. The simple way is to apply the filter to one clip. Open it into the viewer and change the parameters as you like. Select all the other clips and drag the filter name from the viewer onto the other clips. They all have the same setting.

How do I make a transpose button for just one instrument in a split? (mainstage)

I work in mainstage 2.2.2 with patches using splits and I want to make an octave button for just one instruments in a patch. Suggestions?
Benny

Depending on your virtual instrument you can assign octave to a MIDI control. If you assign all of them to the same control on every track then that would be the effect, but like I said before, it really depends on which instruments you use.

How to do one comp on multiple tracks..

I may be missing the an obvious feature, but I can't work out how to apply the same comp to multiple tracks. I.e. I record an instrument with more then one mic and am left with several tracks of the same take however from different microphone and positions. I then comp the best take, however I want my comp to be the same on each of the individual tracks. Please could someone help?
Regards,
t

I believe I may have answered this before, but anyway: the trick is to make the tracks part of the same group. In the group settings, chose only Regions selection (Edit). Now, when you edit one track, the other tracks in the same group will follow.
Hope this helped!

How do I make a transpose/octave button for just one instrument in a split?

I work in mainstage 2.2.2 with patches that are using splits, and I want to make an octave button for just one instruments in a patch. Suggestions? (If I press the octave button in my keyboard, the whole split point moves, no good...)
Benny

An octave button for just one instrument will work for some instruments. EVB3, ESX24, ESM and a few others can be assigned. However I was unable to make it work with EVP88 and ES2. Try this example: in layout mode set up a button(or buttons) on your controller keyboard for changing octaves. In edit mode add a channel strip and select an ESX24 instrument. Select the screen control button you want to assign in the workspace. In the screen control inspector, select the mappings tab. The list below will say unmapped. Double-click on it. Select the instrument in the list. Another list to the right will appear. Select ESX24 (Sampler). In the column to the right, select the pitch folder, then select transpose. To the right, you'll see saved value, button on and button off values. This should get you started. Some of the instruments have different menus, so they'll be a little different. Have fun with it.

How to control more than one instrument via different interfaces at the same time

Hi, I am new to Labview. I am working in a project where I have to make a Automated testing tool . So, here is the set up - I have a Chip on a board to which there are several instruments connected namely Agilent power supply, Agilent pattern generator, oscilloscope,Dmm and Thermotron. All these instruments will be connected to the host computer via ethernet, GPIB or RS232. I have to write a program on Labview where the program should be able to communicate with these instruments at the same time and show the ouput on display unit . I have to run the program once, should be able to view the ouputs. So, Is it possible to write such program in Labview??. I have downloaded few instuments drivers. Is it possible to combine those intrument drivers and construct a new VI which would be able to control all this ?? Will it be easier to program this on Labview or I should go for Labwindows/CVI ??.
Please mention some useful sites or tips (if u know) for writing program.
Thanks in advance

Hi Shasanka,
ofcourse it's possible to control more than one instrument at a time.
You should use the VISA routines to access all your devices. Every device get it's 'address' as 'VISA resource name'. This resource name contains information on the used bussystem and the (internal) device address (i.e. GPIB devices have an address number).
So I suggest to read the manual and to look at the examples that come with LabView!
And (from your question) it seems you should take the 3 or 6 hour seminar as well! (Look at www.ni.com -> academics.)

Problem with more than one item in a track

DVDSP 4.0.2 / OSX.4.2 I've built a DVD with several tracks. In each track I've placed several .m2v files, one after another. Finished build plays fine on my Mac and on one of my stand alone DVD players. But on another stand alone (Sony DVP-S360) something very odd happens. DVD begins to play just fine, but whenever it encounters a track with more than one source file, it will play until it gets to the spot in the program where the second source file is in the track and then it hangs and won't do anything. I'm just curious if anyone has any insight into this problem. Is it a DVDSP conflict thing with certain players? Or is this Sony player just not capable of playing a DVD built this way? Thanks.

This page here:
http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers.php?DVDnameid=428&Search=Search&
has someone talking about finally getting burned DVDs to work, which suggests they previously had problems. I can't think why the track would not seem like continuous video, as if it had always been that way. Our Sony DVD player at work seems sensitive to higher data rates. What data rate did you use?

Route midi instrument to a track insert

Hey guys,
I just purchased native instruments the finger and it sounds really fun.
I have a synth instrument and i put the finger as an insert on that track.
I then create a midi track but I dont see how its possible in the known universe of the logic interface to link that midi instrument to a track insert...
The thing about the finger is that its ran by keys and knobs so simply automating params will not work.
Any help would be good.
Thanks

I figured out ONE way to do it... dont know if it is the best.
Send the synth track to bus1 @ full send volume.
Set to no output
Add a software instrument track with reaktor as the input
Sidechain bus1

How to isolate one audio or video track?

How to isolate one audio or video track? My premiere pro cc will only allow me to grab all 8 audio tracks and the video tracks at once when i import it and bring them into the timeline. When I click on one it highlights them all.

It helps to indicate what version of Premiere you have and whether you're on Mac or Windows.
If you're on 7.0.1 or later, then disable the Linked Selection button in the Timeline. It's the button to the right of the magnet (Snap). If you frequently want to toggle between linked and unlinked selection, you can assign a shortcut to the command
Also, you can select any track item by holding ALT while clicking. To select multiple individual track items (e.g., A3, A5, & A7 for a given clip), hold ALT+SHIFT while clicking.
And I believe Sarthak meant "Unlink" rather than "Ungroup." A/V clips are linked by default, so Unlink is generally available. Ungroup will be available only if what's selected is a set of clips that you manually grouped.

Having trouble assigning "buttons" to mute certain tracks on&off

I can assign all the faders and trim knobs on my "Novation reMOTE sl61;" but i cant seem to assign any of the "buttons" on my device to map the sameway i can get the other knobs and faders to map on my device.
I want to make sure what I'm doing can even be done in Mainstage for one. What i have is a concert with 2 vocal tracks and a midi keyboard track. what im trying to do is i add a "button" parameter in the "workspace" section. and im trying to map that button to mute one of the vocal tracks on and off.
I have sucessfully mapped the button to mute the track on and off by using the mouse click in the workspace section. but the button on my device still wont map, which is what i need it to do.
What should i Do?

Yea it does, but this is when midi mapping gets a little confusing for me.
this is what im working with here. It says that the number is 40(#08lsb) and when i press it the numbers underneath the highlighted button say "40" and "0" underneath the "40" and the "0" changes to a "1" when i press it. but i still cant get the button to illumitate or trigger what i want it to.

How many effects I can use on one instrument?

After loading five effects for my guitar (reverbs, distortions, etc.) I can't add any more for one instrument in mixer panel. Is there a way to add some more?

Hi Slabadaba
This is very strange! I thought 5 might be the maximum - and you say you don't have any more insert slots appearing after you have inserted 5 dsp plug ins on a track....
And now, I downloaded this pdf: Type the following into your web browser:
images.apple.com/logicexpress/pdf/LogicExpress7_PO20060717.pdf
Go to page 6 and the first paragraph is as follows:
"The Track Mixer in Logic Express 7 controls a maximum of 255 audio tracks, 64 audio
instrument tracks, and a nearly unlimited number of MIDI tracks. Each audio and
software instrument track can display and use up to 15 insert plug-ins and 8 effect
bus sends. Logic Express offers 42 e∂ ect plug-ins and supports additional Audio Units
(AU) format plug-ins. It also features a core collection of 26 software instruments. As
with the effects, additional AU instrument plug-ins are supported. "
So - it would appear that you can have a maximum of 15 plugins inserted onto one track.
Have you noticed that after inserting the fourth plug in or 5th that another insert slot appears?
Also, can you confirm what version of logic express you are using.
Hope that helps somewhat!
