Does Quick-Swipe comping work correctly for anybody?

I have searched these threads a bit and I guess there's no answer.
I'm trying to comp a grouped, multi-track drum recording. It's getting very frustrating because I need it to work so bad.
If anybody tells me that their Logic set-up can do this, let me know. Maybe I just need to re-install...

Quick swipe comping is of no value for normal audio production. If you want to hear different takes quickly or shift timing around it's useless. Hopefully the programming hours expended to develop this feature were minimal. It makes the conceptual focus of what the apple team is doing look misguided. Even what its intended to do can be accomplished much more efficiently by making multiple tracks and cutting and sliding. I have looked at it closely and it always results in many more mouse moves and less flexibility that just recording in replace record and piling up multiple tracks. I wish they would have spent the time making the program stable or making the group function actually work for automation.

  • Quick Swipe Comping not working

    I've recorded a few takes of a vocal. The takes show up as a comp, with the disclosure triangle in the upper left and the comp menu in the upper right. But I can't drag any selections in the takes to edit the comp via quick swiping. This used to work just fine and now it just doesn't. The pointer never changes to the quick swipe cursor when I point at the edge of a selection where one take ends and another take begins. It's baffling. Anyone have an idea what I could be missing?

    I also am experiencing this problem. Quick-swipe comping does not work, and then I copy into a new project and it works again. Closing and opening the project back does not fix, rebooting computer does not fix. I have been getting around it by manually dragging a copy of each take from the "Audio Bin" sidebar tab into new tracks in the arrange window, and then doing old-fashioned slicing and comping from there. This has only been happening to me recently (the earliest i can pin it down is maybe jan or feb. 2010).
    For some reason, the problem-take shows up in the Audio Bin tab (& Audio Bin window) with a little lock symbol by it. I looked this up in the user manual (p.292) and it says the lock signifies a "protected" region, which means you can't change the start or end points of the file. This would explain why we can't do quick-swipe comping. However, the manual states you can unlock the region by going to the Audio Bin window (not the tab) and clicking on the lock. THIS IS NOT WORKING. I can lock or unlock other takes at ease, but i cannot unlock my problem take.

  • In Logic Pro or Pro X Meta Events don't work correctly; for example inserting Stop Playback number 52 in a specific position the playhead stops wrongly several ticks before. Then the button play does not start.

    In Logic, Pro or Pro X Meta Events don't work correctly; for example inserting Stop Playback number 52 in a specific position the playhead stops wrongly several ticks before. Then the button play does not start.

    Curious if what your describing is similar to issue 4 which starts around 9:15 in video...
    https://youtu.be/q93jdOhi4Oc
    If so this started for me, or at least I noticed it for the first time in LPX 10.1.1. What version of logic are you running?
    I've recently found that this issue also affects note timing on instrument tracks that use the "External Instrument" plugin.

  • Audio playback issues when editing quick swipe comp folders.

    My new Imac running ML 10.8.2 is having issues when I want to edit drums tracks that I have grouped together. I recorded the tracks before grouping them. After opening group settings and checking the 'editing (selection)' and 'phase locked audio boxes' I get a spinning beach ball for 10sec. I then expand my take folders to start editing and the computer performance becomes very sluggish and playback stutters and crackles, sometimes turning well recorded drum tracks into a non recognizable mush as various tracks are playing at once. It appears that when I group the tracks together prior to recording and check the necessary boxes that quick swipe editing works fine. When I open old projects on my new iMac that were recorded running Snow Leopard and my old MacBook Pro that use comp editing, it all works smoothly and I can continue editing no problems. So does this mean that these new tracks are somehow corrupted? How can I rescue them? I can't figure it out! I used to be able to set up groups and edit after recording raw on my old setup, surely this is some kind of bug caused from the upgrade to 10.2.8 and/or Logic 9.1.8? It's nothing to do with my Pro 40 interface I don't think as I unplug it and the problem is still audible through built in speakers. Might the recording be corrupt due to connecting Saffire pro 40 via a firewire 800 to thunderbolt adapter?
    I've tried copying/pasting regions into a new project, the regions are all the same length, there are no plugins on the channel strips, the recordings sound fine until I try to edit them, sample rate is consistent (24/48). The main difference to making editing possible seems to be grouping prior to recording or not, which shouldn't make a difference should it? Anyone who can shed a little light on this situation, I will be forever appreciative to! I've got work that needs doing ASAP!
    My setup is:
    iMac, i7 3.1Ghz, 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Mountain Lion 10.2.8
    Logic Pro 9.1.8
    Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 (connected to thunderbolt port via thunderbolt==>firewire 800 adapter)

    Anyone?
    This is serioulsy BS, it was all working fine before I went and upgraded everything and now it is worse than prior to upgrading. That's not how it's supposed to work.

  • Quick swipe comping multiple tracks?

    recently upgraded to Logic Studio from logic pro 7...I'm loving the quick swipe comping feature!!
    anyone know if there is a way to use the quick swipe comping on multiple tracks simultaneously? for example, comping multi-track drums?
    I've tried grouping the tracks, but can only get comping to work on one track at a time...

    Hi all. I've searched the forum a bit for an answer, but couldn't find one. Here's the deal:
    I finally need to do drum comping in Logic 8. I understand groups and enabling the edit feature, but man, am I getting some screwy results! (I have used the comping feature before on non-grouped tracks and it's worked fine.)
    I can select whole takes, and every so often I can quick-swipe another take, but logic seems to erratically "undo" all my previous comps sometimes. Other times, it won't let me quick swipe at all. I'm in version 8.0.1.
    Any ideas? Man, this thing would be a great tool *if it worked correctly*! I know, I know, no whining. But you gotta know how it feels when you're in the middle of a session.

  • No Quick Swipe Comping Button.

    Hi, i have logic pro 9, but when I record some takes in cycle mode, I cannot edit these takes
    with quick swipe comping, there is no button or function when I go the right triangle.
    can anybody help? best regards toni

    Same problem here. Can't find any info in the manual or online. The manual has all these great things you can do with comp folders but does not address the situation where the "quick swipe comping" icon is missing.

  • Quick Swipe Comping shortcut

    Hello all!
    I'm using Logic Express 9.1.1, mostly to edit my classical studio recordings. I am currently working on a 19-minute quartet.
    There appears to be only one way to toggle Quick Swipe Comping: scroll all the way to the end of the piece and click on the button at the right-hand side of my comp. As you can imagine, this is tedious. Is there a shortcut I don't know about?
    Thanks,
    Kieren.

    Have you tried to find out what's a key command for this function? If there isn't any, you can surely create one in Key Command editor: Preferences -> Key Commands (or Option+K)

  • Logic crashing while quick swipe comping

    Hi, When I click on a region in quick swipe comping mode Logic X crashes. However, if I just try slowly drag across and highlight the region it doesn't crash.
    It is only happening in sessions after I have been working in them a while, so if I start a new project it works as it should.
    Has anyone had a similar experince? I used Logic 8 and 9 for years and never experienced this.
    BTW these are sessions that were started in Logic 9.
    Thanks!

    Hi Matt,
    Unfortunately, I've not found a fix - or the reason why it's happening. Someone on another forum suggested it may be due to Mavericks having issues handling memory, which may be the cause but I did use Logic 9 on Mavericks with no problems.
    If you copy your track onto another track it will usually work ok.
    These are all the issues I've been experiencing:
    - When I change the region selection in the take folder I can see and hear another region under the one I'm selecting. It looks greyed out but I can still see it and hear it.
    I tried re-starting my Mac (running Mavericks) and it did the same thing. If I copy the comp to another track it works fine so I'm thinking some how the file is corrupted? I've been using Logic daily since Logic 8 and have only experienced weird glitches in Logic X.
    -When selecting a region in Quick Swipe (by clicking the mouse) it causes the session to crash but if I selected it slowly by dragging the mouse across the region it works fine.
    - The triangle toggle switch to open the take folder doesn't work so I can't hide the takes.
    Yes, it is very annoying, especially when it worked so well for years - I'm now seriously considering going back to Pro Tools. Good luck!

  • Quick-swipe comping-Miditracks

    Hello,
    I’m puzzled because I’ve got multiple take folders set up, but theres no option for quick-take comping in the menu, and no quick-take comping icon in the region.
    Is this because I am on a midi-track..? (Maybe one cannot quick-swipe comp on a midi-track..?)
    Many thanks!

    Correct--unfortunately, swipe comping is not supported with MIDI tracks.
    Please file a feature request:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/logicpro.html
    In my opinion, MIDI overdubbing is the biggest weakness currently in Logic: the only way to compile a take from multiple overlapping MIDI regions is to create multiple tracks and tediously scissor cut and mute sections.  IMO, Logic badly needs to upgrade MIDI editing to mirror audio editing:
    1) Allow left and right edge of a MIDI region to be dragged around to show/play and hide/mute MIDI notes.
    2) Provide a bin/list of MIDI recordings, so regions can be conveniently stored and retrieved.
    3) Support swipe comping for MIDI tracks.
    #3 would be an awesome feature--I'm not aware that any other platform allows this.  But #1 and #2... frankly, I'm not aware of ANY other DAW that *lacks* those features.  Logic badly needs to catch up with MIDI region editing and management.

  • Sorting not working correctly for date field in alv report

    Hi All,
    My report displays many rows also containing date type fields of bldat,budat .
    When I sort the report selecting field of type bldat budat the sorting is not correct for the year.
    Ex:
    Invoice doc dat
    01-25-2011
    01-21-2011
    02-02-2011
    10-25-2010
    11-20-2010
    If I use ascending then it is sorted as :
    Invoice doc dat
    01-21-2011
    01-25-2011
    02-02-2011
    10-20-2010
    10-25-2010
    Why the sorting is not working correct for year.(2010 records should have been first).
    The field wa_tab-bldat is of type char10.
    It is populated as wa_tab-bldat = bsak-bldat.
    Kindly suggest what can be done.

    The field wa_tab-bldat is of type char10
    Then what it does is correct.
    Refer to type datum...it will work

  • Is QGtkStyle working correctly for anyone? [SOLVED]

    I installed QT 4.4.0 today and qgtkstyle-svn from AUR. qgtkstyle seems to only be halfway working. Colors and fonts are doing pretty good, as well as some of the widgets. But there are things like borders in the QT windows where things are 'flat' in GTK. Is this working correctly for anyone, or is it too early to expect proper results?

    I havent tried the arch package personally but it should already be working very well for most themes including Clearlooks when compiling from source. It would be helpful if you could post an issue here:
    http://code.google.com/p/qgtkstyle/issues/list ith a screenshot outlining the problem and the name of your current GTK theme.
    Note that the style is still work in progress so you should expect some rough edges.

    Hello David,
    I use an OLE DB connection to a MS SQL Server 2005.
    Connection Details say:
    Version 2.0.0.29
    Build 12.1.0.882
    Network Layer OLE DB
    DBMS Engine MS SQL Server 2205
    Database used is MS AdventureWorksDW sample database (data warehouse sample)
    I noticed that only with this database, ranking is selectable (not with the AdventureWorks non-DW sample database).
    Ranking itself seems to work, if I activated ranking (e.g. Top 10 customers) everything is ok.
    (Also if I  send a direct SQL command with ranking to the DBMS, it seems ok.)
    Issue arise if I add year filter. Combination of rank and year filter does not seem to work properly.
    Any idea why? Or do you wanted to say that this issue might also be related to DBMS support? I would hope / expect to get a straight "ranking not supoorted" and not incorrect data back ...
    Thanks for your answer anyway!
    Regards,
    Stefan

  • 'Get Variant' button not working correctly for report

    Hi,
    I have created an internet service for a custom report.  For some reason, when I click the 'Get Variant' button I get a popup, but it does not have any entries to choose from.  It is blank.  In SE80, the button works correctly.  Any ideas?

    I figured it out myself.  I didn't have the parameter ~webgui set.

  • Windows 8 - SC6 started doing weird things, not working correctly

    Windows 8 and CS6 - Liquifying tool not working and and actions not working correctly, back ground screen flickers and changes color and does weird things. I have done a complete D&R and it does the same thing. Someone with the same problem suggested a D&R and deactivate, then reinstall and reactivate, could this possibly work? if so, how would you do that? Thanks

    Yes, one I can think of. Get the make and model of your video card and head over to the card manufacturer's website.
    Check for and install the latest drivers for your card.
    Also see if changing the settings of your GPU helps. Uncheck everything (OpenCL Anti-alias 30 bit displays) and start at Basic. then work your way up to Normal and Advanced.
