Can anyone tell me the how to use the "ducking" process in Logic Pro 8?

Howdy,
I've tried following the directions in the manual but I just can figure out the steps necessary to use the ducking process in Logic 8. For those who aren't sure what ducking is it's for instance, when you want a guitar track's volume to be reduced when a vocal track is active. As an example, there is a way to trigger the volume reduction in the guitar track(s) using a compressor in the vocal track. Whenever the singer is singing it automatically reduces the volume in the guitar track. I'm just not sure how to do this. Any help with the steps involved would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

Well, the theory is you run say, the mix , through the 'ducker' or as I like to call it, the 'motherducker', then you simply sidechain say, a kick drum. That is to say, you route your kick to a bus or aux channel, preferably routed to a different output, then assign that bus or aux as your sidechain input in the ducker. The theory is that the through signal will duck on receipt of the sidechained kick.
Frustratingly, this ducker is the buggiest thing since a bug landed on a buggy while loading it into the back of a VW bug. It just doesn't work. well it works for a bit and then stops working. Or the kick comes through the ducker as well. Or some other manifestation of complete crapness. Come on Apple, sort it out - it's the sound that everybody wants!
Sorry Mark L1

  • Can someone tell me please how to use the features...

    Hi all,
    Can someone tell me please how to use the features on the HS-47 headset?
    That is, what functions does the button control and how many presses of the button for each function, etc?
    The headset was as supplied with my 6200.
    I've tried looking for a user guide but I don't think there is one.
    Many thanks,
    Steve.

    I think it's pretty basic.
    If you are listening to music on your phone, it should automatically mute it when a call comes in. A basic press of the call answer / end button should then do just that.
    Have a go! You could try experimenting with a quick double press, that may recall the last number you dialled, but otherwise that's probably it.

  • Can anyone tell me if they are using the Samsung SCX-5636FN with S.L

    I would appreciate any feedback on these printers and what peoples thoughts are on using them with Snow Leopard. I want to be able to print AND scan via the network.
    The other printer I am looking at is the Brother 8460N and I can confirm this one does work, but seems to have a short toner life.
    Thanks in advance.

    Had to purchase the Brother..

  • I've installed LeechBlock and now I can't find it! Can anyone tell me where/ how to access it?

    Hi there,
    I'm new to using addons, so please forgive my ignorance. I've installed LeechBlock and now I can't see where to find it. Can anyone tell me where/ how to access it? I've looked under Addons in the Tools menu, but this just has options to install more addons.
    I had thought there'd be a button on the toolbar, or even a new toolbar, but I can't see anything...
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, you're nearly there! When you are looking at the Add-ons you need to select Extensions on the left-hand side, and you should see it, together with your AdBlock plus. There might also be a button in the 3-bar menu - but I'm not familiar with that particular Add-on so can't be sure about that.
    Hope that helps.

  • TS1702 I have a charge on my CC that does not track to any purchases nor do I have an email receipt.  Can anyone tell me where/how I can get this deleted (charge is from 04/08 so nearly two weeks old)?  Thanks!

    I have a charge on my CC that does not track to any purchases nor do I have an email receipt.  Can anyone tell me where/how I can get this deleted (charge is from 04/08 so nearly two weeks old)?  Thanks!

    Apple could not tell you who else might be using your credit card, so there's no point in trying to contact them. All they could discuss with you is your own iTunes Store account, and if there's nothing in your purchase history, the charges almost certainly aren't coming from there. Again, you should take this up with your bank/credit card company and report these charges as fraudulent. They probably will cancel your card and issue you a new one.

  • Can anyone tell me where to find/download the talking tom cat message notification for iPhone4?

    Can anyone tell me where to find/download the talking tom cat message notification for iPhone4?

    I can't find any sort of "Talking Tom Cat" that provides message notifications, and without jailbreaking I can't see how it would be possible. The only Talking Tom Cat app I can find it a self-contained novelty app. If that's what you're referring to, just search the iTunes Store for "talking tom cat" and if the app is available in your country, you should find it. Be aware that while the app is free, the "gold coins" for all the accessories are definitely not free.
    The forum in which you first posted is, by the way, for questions about the Communities themselves. Usually you'll get the quickest and most accurate results in you post in the forum dedicated for the product or service about which you have a question.

  • Please can anyone tell me where how can i book ipad 2 online

    I want to book an ipad 2 wifi 3G online please can anyone tell me how should i do it

    If there is an Apple online store in your country, purchase the iPad from the Apple online store in your country which is the only place you can do so.
    You can't purchase an iPad or any Apple hardware via the Apple online store in another country and have it shipped to your address in another country. That would be against the export/import laws in the country where the product was purchased and in the country where the product was shipped to.
    For example, Apple cannot ship an iPad purchased via the U.S. Apple online store outside of U.S. borders.

  • Can anyone tell me a how to create layers?

    I have a page with a flash graphic and I've added a floating image to the page.  When the image floats, part of it is behind the flash graphic.  I want it to be on top.  I think this has to do with layers, but I can't seem to find any documentation to help me in CS3.  Can anybody give me any help?

    Hi
    Flash content will normally be above any other content, you may be able to force the image above the flash content using the css z-index property, but this will not work for all your users, even if it works for you.

  • Can anyone tell me please how I can find out if someone is using a keylogger on my Mac. Thank you

    Does anyone know how to Tell If Someone Has Put Keylogger on Your Computer? thank you

    Unless you know exactly what state it was in before, and by that I mean that you have a record of all installed files and their cryptographic hashes, there's no way to be sure. You won't find a file called something like "Keylogger.app." It will be well hidden and disguised. You also have to consider the possibility of a hardware keylogger, which isn't software at all.
    If this is your Mac, and you have reason to suspect it's been tampered with, the only thing to do is erase the boot drive, reinstall the OS from known-good media, and then restore all your applications from known-good originals and your data from known-good backups.
    If it's not your Mac, you should have no expectation of privacy while using it, whether it has a keylogger or not.

    Thanks in advance.

  • My Ifone 4g stolen in a cafe.I have my IMEI and Serial no can Anyone tell me that how can i track or get my phone back please......?

    My iphone 4 was stolen yeterday in a cafe. I have its IMEI and serial no so what could i do to get back or track my Iphone????? can anyone help me please????????????????????????

    The only way to locate your phone is through Apple's Find My Phone service. However, you would have had to setup/activate Find My Phone before your phone was lost/stolen, and it must be turned on & the phone have internet access. You would then login to iCloud.com, from any computer, & hopefully locate your phone. If you didn't setup Find My Phone, there is no way to locate your phone. Report the loss to the police & your carrier. Change your passwords.

  • Can anyone help me with this program using the Scanner Class?

    I have to write a program that asks for the speed of a vehicle (in miles-per-hour) and the number of hours it has traveled. It should use a loop to display the distance a vehicle has traveled for each hour of a time period specified by the user. Such as 1 hour will equal 40 miles traveled, 2 hours will equal 80, 3 hours will equal 120, etc. This is what I've come up with thus far. Any help is appreciated.
    import java.util.Scanner;
         public class DistanceTraveled
              public static void main(String[] args)
                   int speed;
                   int hours;
                   int distance;
                   Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
                   System.out.print("What is the speed of the vehicle in miles-per-hour?");
                   speed = keyboard.nextInt();
                   System.out.print("How many hours has the vehicle traveled for?");
                   hours = keyboard.nextInt();
                   distance = speed*hours;
                   while (speed < 0)
                   while (hours < 1)
                   System.out.println("Hour     Distance Traveled");
                   System.out.println("------------------------");
                   System.out.println(hours + " " + distance);
    }

    When you post code, wrap it in code tags. Highlight it and click the CODE button above the text input area.
    You seem to be trying to reuse the speed and hours variables in your loop. That's probably a mistake at this point. Keep it simpler by defining a loop variable.
    Also I don't see the need for two loops. You just want to show how far the vehicle has traveled for each one-hour increment, assuming constant speed, for the number of hours it has been traveling, right? So a single for loop should be sufficient.
