Does Logic X load OMF volume automations?

I have always problems with OMF in logic... Does this new X version reads OMF automations?
Thanx
Alex (Rome)

CORRECTION!
Pancenter, after your 2nd mail I all of a sudden realized that we had not tested OMF in LPX 10.0.3., vacations and all that…. Anyway, we did now and I'm glad to state that in LPX, OMF import and export does work as we where used to in L9.
I had no chance to test the automation issue though, did this actually work in L9? I just can't remember……
Sorry for the fuzz. This proofs again that one should not participate in discussions so early in the morning.
Cheers!

How does volume automation work with multi-timbral instruments?

I have Garritan Aria player as an AU plug-in. I launch it as a multi-timbral instrument and 16 tracks appear. I load instruments from Garritan Personal Orchestra into the player and record parts on the tracks. So far so good. I can get a rough overall working balance easily enough with the Aria faders - but then I want to use volume automation to do the detailed mixing (boost the oboe, dip the brass for that bridge passage, etc). It doesn't work. Anything I do to one track affects all the others - they are all reading & responding to nodes placed on any of the tracks, so I don't have individual control of instruments. Help! - what am I doing wrong? I've tried using Hyper Draw instead - this seems at first to offer individual control; but if I enter node data on more than one track at the same place in the music (boost oboe, dip brass) the channel fader goes crazy - which isn't at all what I want. It looks to me that because the 16 inputs are all assigned to the same synth, the channels are locked together as a group, so level changes entered on any one track are applied to them all. That's silly, so I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone help?

OK, I'm nearly there, I think, but it's a bit weird (I'm using Logic Pro 9.1.8). I can record to the aux tracks (I'm just entering note data on the piano roll, just to test it), but all the sound seems to be routed just to Aux channel 2. If I solo the Instrument channel, I hear all tracks together. If I solo Aux 2, I hear the same thing. If I solo any other Aux track, I hear silence.
What I've done:
1. start a Logic project, with one software instrument
2. insert Aria player, as multichannel, 16x mono.
3. open the Logic mixer and click the + button at the bottom of the channel several times to add aux tracks (they come up Aria Player 2, 3, 4 etc, routed to Stereo Out)
4 ctrl-click on each channel and select 'create/select Arrange track'
5 insert instruments into Aria slots, leaving them as default (Output 1/2 for all, midi channel 01, 02, 03 etc)
6 enter note data on piano roll for the instrument track and each aux track
The instruments are correct for each track, but, as I say, I can only hear them as a mix on Inst 1, and as a mix on Aux 2 (track 3). I can't hear the solo output of any track. It's a mystery to me why this is happening, and why it is Aux 2. Am I missing something?

Volume Automation Not Working In Logic

So, I have been doing some audio work with about 12 different tracks or so and at certain points, I need to use automation to completely lower the volume at certain points to infinity. Yet whenever I listen to the track, on some tracks, the volume automation will either ignore those points when it's supposed to go down to -infinity, and stay at 0 dB. Or conversely, sometimes it will go down to -infinity and stay at that point when it's supposed to go back up to 0 dB.
Does anyone know what's causing this or what could stop it? I'm using Logic Pro 8. Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. (Sorta) Automation was working and now it's not. READ is on.

Volume automation shows but music does not...where did it go?

I'm using Logic express and I have a track that I was mixing and was doing the volume automation on. I'm mixing between several vocal tracks to make one and I go back to listen to this one and there's nothing there but the yellow volume automation. The music is gone somehow. I have no idea what happened but I can't hear anything, under edit there's nothing to 'undo' and it's not muted or anything. What happened and how do I fix?
Thanks for reading

Thanks for responding again but I still have the problem, here's why;
I never clicked on the mute tool to begin with. There is no dot in front of the region name because there is no region name(that's where there's writing/name on a peach/pink color, right?) Instead of the bar that has the region name there is nothing, only the grey background, however all of the volume automation is visible still. There also is no black 'soundscape' line showing where sound was picked up. I tried clicking on the mute tool again though and clicking where the region would be but nothing happens(except i could drag a box open if I wanted).

Bouncing in Logic, Suppressed and Quiet Volume Output Levels

So I've just finished mixing a song from a friend's band's performance and it sounds great. The Output is hot, usually staying upwards of -3.5 decibels and less than 0 thanks to the compressor/limiter plugin and some basic volume automation. I have the computer output levels set at halfway and the master logic output set at half as well, and the mix is slightly louder than I would prefer comfort-wise in my headphones. By all means, my bounce out of logic and onto my desktop should be at a similar volume level, but it is not. In comparison to my songs in my itunes collection, the output is very significantly affected and diminished. A listener would have to turn the volume up on their stereo or computer to reach an equal volume level as their other music.
I have tried bouncing with normalization turned on and off and have bounced out both aiff and m4a files. My Compressor/limiter plugin is on, but the output never reaches clipping levels as the plugin seems to be working as it should. I have played my bounces in both Itunes (preamp in eq is at half as well) and quicktime with the volumes set at halfway, so it's not a blockhead issue of not having my volume up in those programs. Something is seriously up here, since I have tried many possibilities, my output levels are not requiring a reduction by a plugin and I have not come to a satisfying conclusion.
My overall questions are: 1) Would could possibly explain what's amiss here since nothing theoretically should be. 2) What explains the difference between the output I hear playing my mix within logic and playing the bounce in other programs such as I tunes (again I did not bonehead here and leave my volume or eq level set low in my Itunes, nor did I normalize my bounce). 3) Should I just send my Mix to an auxillary "master" channel strip, record as audio, and export it as is? I would prefer it not have to come to this. 4) Is it possible that one cannot truly master at a professional level in logic? Do I need to get some expensive plugins in addition, or perhaps an external mastering-specific program?
I would sincerely appreciate any informative answers here, Thanks

, and large reason for that is the fact that it always seems to lack any sort of conclusive solution
I think it always yields a conclusive solution.
After all, if my question was "I need to be able to play the guitar to put some guitar down" most answers would be either "You should get a guitarist who has the skills already" or "Learn to play the guitar".
A forum post is not going to suddenly impart the skills necessary to get commercial sounding mixes instantly - the commercial mixers charge a fortune for their work, largely because they are good at it!
If a mix sounds very loud while I'm bouncing in realtime, what can possibly explain a significant volume reduction in the sound file that comes out the other end onto my desktop?
You are comparing two different things. When you are hearing it in Logic, there is a playback level going through your interface and to your speakers. When you play the same audio through iTunes, you are playing through an entirely different chain - iTunes, with it's own volume control, through the system with it's own volume control, and so on. Also in iTunes, often people have all kindsof stuff switched on like EQ settings, or the audio leveller function, which is further going to change stuff.
Just remember that the "volume" you hear is more dependent on how loud your are setting various volume controls than what the contents of the file are. If you're not sure on this stuff, then probably the best way to compare your mixes to commercial stuff is to burn them to CD and play them back on the same system.
Again, I have no need to normalize at all since my mix has a loud average volume throughout without spilling over into clipping territory on the peaks.
Are you using metering? You'd probably find it useful to compare average and peak levels on your mixes, compared to average and peak levels on commercial mixes. I think you'd be surprised how "loud" commercial mixes really are - many don't have more than a few dB of dynamic range - at least in the regular pop/rock/commercial categories.
Presumably, I have exercised all the skill necessary to get a satisfyingly loud mix. If it (the mix) came out sounding exactly as it does in logic it would be louder than I would need it to be.
It's difficult to know what you are doing, but as long as you are not clipping your outputs, what Logic writes into the audio file is exactly what you are hearing when bouncing. How you then play the file back, in a completely different set of applications, is not going to let you listen at the exact same level unless you set all the affecting volume controls to match everything else. Remember, Logic is talking directly to your audio interface, not playing through OSX's system output.
So, divide your situation into two areas - am I getting my mix to the relative levels I want, and how am I playing back and hearing that mix, and go from there.

Does Logic has "clip" or Region level capabilities?

Is it possible in Logic to adjust the volume level of a region or clip non-destructively? A good example is Final Cut Pro. You can adjust the clip levels on any of the audio clips. Shouldn't this feature be available in Logic as well? Nuendo has this, Digital Performer now has this.

hi.
if you want to aply volume levels independentely for each region,
and still be abble to change global volume,
here's what I do: Use hyperdraw volume dots on the regions, and use
gain plug in for global volume changes on the whole track.
I use hyperdraw midi regions to drive audiotracks, and with little habit, it's way more easy than logic internal automations, specialy if you need to turn
some plug-ins controls into loops, for creative repeated pans, wah, sequenced sends etc...
Hoping my suggestion is comprehensive enaugh,
i wish you good time with the most complete (complicated!) music software.

Does Logic respond to CC's 34 and 43?

My copy of Logic Pro is from the Studio 1 Box, so is it the same as the $199 version in the app store? I was allowed to update via the APP Store to 9.1.8 but the AU plug in I use sends CC7 which causes the faders to go crazy because CC7 is the default choice. I can change that to any other CC # in the plugins' interface
If Logic responds to 34 and 43 I could change these settings, as is the faders go straight up to the max even when the display double vertical yellow bars are showing almost no raise in volume, my MIDI controller is set to send only breath CC 2 and what I hear in the recorded MIDI file is not usable because of the clipping, but sending that Tracks out put via a bus to an audio track and recording it gives a normal sounding audi file. I would still be better off using the CC"s 34 and 43 if Logic can.
That volume dial above the Input Device menu is not set normally at +7.0-I move it down to +2.0 but still the fader keeps jumping up to 127, even in soft passages. I will go later to change that 10.8.3 to 10.8.4

Hi
If you have v 9.1.8 you have the latest (same) version as the AppStore one.
Logic defaults to using MIDI CC7 to control the channel strip volume ( and a few other CC's as well), and there is no quick/easy way to stop it. Whilst updating to OSX 10.8.4 might help with some other issues, it will not help with this particular one
Best solution would be to use some other CC's that Logic does not directly respond to, such as the ones you mention.

Okay, does Logic have a sampler or is it not standard for AIFF files (or wa

I have searched high and low loading every instrument in Logic and what I am trying to do is, load a AIFF OR WAV file and then tweak, mangle it.
Does Logic come with a sampler or are they all players in that you have to use a proprietary format?
If it does, can someone let me know how?
Thank you.

Yes. EXS 24 is the sampler instrument.
I loads AIFF, WAV, SD2, Soundfont and other trypes of files.
RTFM. Theres a whole manual just on the Logic plugins. Crack it open to the EXS24 chapter.
Cheers
Say what?
I have to open a book? LOL! I don't think I've done that in quite a while, even when I was working on Gigastudio for the Mac (which I have a working copy of, to bad Tascam took so long, suppose that's why they stopped development)...
LOL, anyway, I will but can't someone tell me how to load a aiff, wav or am I missing out as I do want to not only load but manipulate. Is it a good sampler in that like Sculpture, or say N.I. sampler that I can mangle the sample to make it sound very different?
Thanks
I can, for 250 an hour.
Or, you can RTFM. That is what the manual is there for.
Not only will you learn (to read) you might learn how to do something by yourself. Amazing. You'll be the toast of your community, I'll bet you even get laid... ok, maybe not that... ok ok you'll be able to get out of your parent's house. yes, that is more realistic for you.

Hi Gregg,
Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.

Applet does not get loaded when viewed in a browser

Hi,
I have an applet,which works fine when I use appletviewer to see it. But from the browser, the applet does not get loaded.
An error appears at the bottom of the browser that load: class not found.
Any suggestions...please..
Thank you....

If you are using Internet Explorer, you should check to see if your browser is set to use Sun's JRE that came with your download of the SDK. (If you didn't install the JRE, you need to go back and run that on your machine. You can check to see if you are using Java's runtime enviornment (JRE) in Internet Explorer by opening IE and going to Tools --> Internet Options... --> and then going to the Advanced tab. Scroll down and make sure the box next to Java Sun "use Java 2 for <applet>" is checked. If that option is not available, you need to install the JRE.
If that doesn't help, try using the HTML converter that comes with the SDK. It'll take your current HTML page, and you can customize it to force a download and/or usage of the JRE for applet viewing if for your particular browser.
Hope one of these helps!

Does the iPad ignore the volume control when connected to the Digital AV Adapter?

Does the iPad ignore the volume control when connected to the Digital AV Adapter?

The volume limit is preset so yes you are unable to alter the volume on the iPad however you can control the volume on your tv and if you have AirPlay speakers you are able to adjust your volume as well..

Treo800w does not use the ringer volume I have set

I have my 'Phone: Known Caller' ringer setting set to the standard Treo ring tone that came preinstalled on the Treo800w. I have the 'Ring type' set to Ring but NO matter how high or low I set the ringer volume it only rings at the lowest volume setting when a call comes in. It's so low that I basicly miss every call. I have tried changing to other ring tones and the same thing happens. The ringer seems to work correctly when the Ring type is set to 'Increasing Ring' but that starts out so low that it does not increase the ring volume enough before the call goes to voicemail. I need my ringer to use a relatively high ring tone volume setting.Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what did you do to resolve it?

This question was solved.

I got a response to this from Paulcalif in another thread: "Have you tried "rebooting" by removing the battery and putting it back in. Try setting the volume all the way up first, then reboot it."
Lil Red: This seems to have worked although I still think there is a bug in the software. If I set the ringer volume to a different volume level the phone does not seem to respond. Oh well, as long as it rings loud then for the most part i'm good to go.

Hi All,
Anybody please tell me what does this mean:

From the dtd :
The load-on-startup element indicates that this servlet should be
loaded (instantiated and have its init() called) on the startup
of the web application. The optional contents of
these element must be an integer indicating the order in which
the servlet should be loaded. If the value is a negative integer,
or the element is not present, the container is free to load the
servlet whenever it chooses. If the value is a positive integer
or 0, the container must load and initialize the servlet as the
application is deployed. The container must guarantee that
servlets marked with lower integers are loaded before servlets
marked with higher integers. The container may choose the order
of loading of servlets with the same load-on-start-up value.
