CHANNEL STRIP PROBS - ANYONE HELP ?

A new problem has surfaced with my LOGIC 7.2.
Quite randomly when re-opening a song a previously ok channel strip/aux/bus or instrument track will show up almost as blank...its a wierd thing to explain - like the inserts and pan etc are missing !!
There are a few visuals in the channel strip and the image or number will stutter leaving a visual trail when moved or say the slider is pushed up or down...
It's really hard to explain I hope someone may have a clue or experienced the same thing.
If I restart Logic the channel thing may not occur in the same place or at all...
It is quite random - BUT ANNOYING !!
Any help appreciated cos I've had it a bit rough lately - what with my other probs and all.
Also here's a question for those 'in-the-know'.....
Should I always update software when avalable ??
It seems that things work quite well and sometimes after installing tha latest updates that some problems crop up that were not there before - should I aim to find a working 'happy' system and leave it be ???
THANKS

1> Sounds like a corrupt song file. It can be a bit of work, but re-build it. (Copy and paste audio, copy and paste channel strip settings)
2> I always check here for the 'word' before updating. Usually I waiting 2 weeks and have a complete system backup before making any move.

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.

Hi, I need help. On my channel strips, I don't have a Midi FX tab. What do I do? I have Logic Pro X.

Can anyone help please?

In case you don't know, MIDI effects can only be put on a software instrument channel, so if you are expecting it to be on the main track of, say, a drummer producer kit it won't be there because that is an aux track. Right click somewhere on an instrument channel strip in the inspector or mixer and find the "channel strip components" sub menu - you'll see the MIDI effects with or without a checkmark next to it. The mixer and inspector can be set up independantly - which I didn't know until just now.

Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

I am using the weather channel app and don't have any sound. The sound button is at a Hugh level. Can anyone help?

Ipad2 no sound with weather channel app. Settings indicate sound level is up. Can anyone help? Thanks

You havn't got notifications muted have you ? Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to notifications can be muted either by the switch on the right-hand side of the iPad or via the taskbar (whatever the switch is set to control, the other function is controlled via the left end of the taskbar).

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.

How can I set up a Mainstage channel strip to recognize coarse detune?

Can anyone clue me in on how to get Mainstage 2 to recognize coarse detune? Right now I have it set up so that a mainstage channel strip recognizes standard pitch bend messages and I can set the pitch bend range of the associated instrument to 12 (the default for the channel strips appears to be 2), and so standard pitch bend works fine.   But when the pitch bend messages I'm sending are coarse detune, I'm getting zip...nada...nuttin -- even when I have set the pitch bend range for the instrument on the channel strip set to 12.
I don't want to just offset the pitch by a set amount; I want to use coarse detune to bend the pitch by semitones during a performance. If anyone here has any suggestions or knows how to make this happen, I'd really appreciate your help --
thanks in advance,
Lipp

Hi
The default bend range is set within the Instrument plugin setting associated with a channel strip.

This could depend on the Instrument plugin (which on eare you referring to?).
Try making a knob or fader object in Layout mode and MIDI learn it to incoming PitchBend messages, then map that control to the dtune function.

Logic Channel Strip Instruments no longer open after Logic 8 upgrade

I upgraded Logic 8.0 to 8.0.1 and now none of the preset Logic Channel strip instruments will open. I can open all of the instruments on their own no problem. But if I select something from one of their saved presets or an instrument that I've saved, it does nothing, just hangs. There's no beach ball or logic not responding. When you do force quit, it quits logic and then upon a restart of the system, the system just freezes too. This is really frustrating because I've save a lot of my own instruments and can't get to them now. This happen in a previous session and a new session started from scratch with the upgrade. I can access all of my saved audio channel strips. Has anyone encountered this? One more bit of frustration and impediment to my work flow. Thanks, Jeff.

I've also trouble with that Channel Strips. I've saved and closed a Song with some Mastering-Plugs in the Output 1-2 ( also Stereo Sum ) and after I reloaded that song, there wasn't no Plug anymore. So all my work was gone and I am also very frustrated.
The next big Problem is working with folders. I've in most of my songs folder of MIDI and Singers and when I am working with this songs on Logic 8, I got many failure in the view of waveforms and regions.
Sometimes regions doesn't play anymore when I switched between folders in the song. That nervs me up the whole time ...
Maybe someone can help or can tell me that's why we get ProKit 4.5

Changing FX plug in settings for channel strip aliases?

I've been trying to migrate my live performance rig from Kore 2 to Mainstage 3, and truth be told it has not been easy, nor yet successful. Every time I overcome one roadblock to something that was so easy to set in Kore, another problem presents itself. Thanks to much help from the users in this group, I got a handle on getting through the biggest obstacle of Mainstage ignoring PG changes to channel strips by using Multitimbral settings.
Here's the next huge stumbling block. In Kore, I was able to set up any instance (roughly the equivalent of a Mainstage channel strip) with a series of insert effects plug ins, i.e. a piano patch with both parametric and graphic EQ, compression, etc. and was able to choose which effect(s) would be in use or defeated for a given performance preset and change the settings of any of the plug ins and be able to save them on a per preset basis.
While the capacity to load several insert FX exists in Mainstage, it appears that any changes to an effect are global across the aliases. While I understand that only voume, pan and expression can have separate settings on an alias, I'm searching for some kind of workaround to this issue. All I came up with was using separate busses for each FX chain each having their own settings, but that seems like a horribly inefficient use of resources. Has anyone else found a solution to this problem?

That is not possible, because an alias is simple the _identical_ channel strip in different patches. Any change will be reflected on all occurences of the alias.

Cracks and Noises with Channel-Strips in L 7.2 and MacBook Pro 17"

I am using a MBP 17" and have "performance-problems": when I choose a single Channel-Strip (like "11 Ethnic/Breathy Harp"), the performance-control shows only one CPU working near 90% (the right one) and I'm hearing cracks and noises. I've tried without Fireface (intern) - same problem. I can't believe, that this "incredible machine" isn't able to run one single Channel-Strip at a time without problems!!!
Anyone ideas?

Hi Marty, thanks for your imidiate reply! Though your information about sculpture is very helpful I unfortunately have the same problem with CST like "01 Pianos/Concert Hall Grand Piano" wich is from the exs24 instrument. A further problem is, that the performance control in logic show just one cpu working while the other indicator does nothing. I compared to the performance control of MacOS: there the indicator show both CPUs are working - strange, isn't it?

Duplicate Output channel strips

I see a thread about duplicate aux channels appearing. I'm not seeing that on my end, but what I am getting is multiple (and it's more than two now) Output channel strips. Thankfully, they only appear at the concert level, and don't appear more than once in each patch or set. But the behavior is really bizzare, and a little worrisome because i've found that if I try to delete one of them, if I can successfully do it, then the file will become corrupted and will never reopen! When I'm at the concert level, if I adjust any of the controls on one of them, it's adjusted for all of them... very strange indeed.
I've created multiple Concert files, and I see this behavior exhibited in all of them. The more patches I add, the more the number seems to grow. I believe that every time I copy/paste a patch, it adds one, but I'm not sure exactly what the exact criteria are to make this happen. Is anyone else seeing this?
Also, I have two unrelated questions:
1) There isn't, by any chance, a way of creating alias or shortcut patches, is there? Some way of creating duplicates so I can create multiple sets with some of the same patches (I'd like to create some "Show Setlist" sets, and a main "All Tracks" set, but have some of the same patches in each, that would get modified when I modify any instance).
2) I'm coming from Jambalaya, a similar, and simpler live host that I would continue to be using today if the developer continued supporting it. One thing that was really nice about that was it had a virtual rack where you could store common instruments and effects. It would be accessible to all "songs" (patches), and would save a major amount of load time. Since every one of my patches contains from 2 - 8 instrument channels, it was really helpful. I don't suppose there is any way to reproduce this functionality in MS? I also use this feature in Digital Performer, but I don't use that as a live host. So far, I've noticed that if you add a channel strip at the concert level, it plays back on all patches without any routing or way of arming it or not, so that won't work for me. I guess this is more a feature request than a question, but I'm new enough to MS that maybe someone has found a way.

I haven't experienced any of the channel strip issues, at the concert level or at patch level. It's easy to copy patches or make aliases. To copy a patch, select a patch, go to edit>copy or command>C. To paste, edit>paste or paste as alias(command>V or option-command>V).

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.

Output channel strip blank

Has anyone seen this ?
I'm using Logic Pro 9. In one of the songs I'm working on, the output 1-2 channel strips ismblank. It doesn't have any of the insert buttons and I can't select any of the presets. (ie. Pop mastering, etc.)
I tried deleting the output strip and creating a new one, but that didn't work. It just created another blank channel strip.
Thanks for any help...

Do you accidently have a channel set to surround?
