Exporting/importing midi tracks

I have tried exporting midi, in both formats, from Cubase VST/24 v4.1 using the export menu option then importing into Logic, but nothing shows up in my logic tracks except empty regions. I have been careful to select and export individual tracks, then to select a midi track for import and follow Logic instructions, but I have had no success. Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong or tell me exactly how this is done so I can compare it with my procedures? Seems like it should be a simple matter.

Are you sure that the regions that you are exporting contain note data? You should be able to play a standard midi file in iTunes and QuickTime. Try that to verify that, yes, you did export things correctly.
To get a MIDI file into Logic, you can either import it using the File menu, or you can set up an instrument(s) and drag the file into the Arrange window.

2 midi export-import problems...from l8 to l8!

1. l8 always exports/imports midi regions as their own tracks. the preference for "export single regions as type 0 files" is different from how it worked in l7 (1 track with several separate regions exported/imported as 1 track). when exporting an entire sequence to midi, this preference now makes no difference whatsoever. annoying.
2. markers with text (lyrics, for instance) don't survive the import/export process. hardly surprising, i suppose. the markers themselves are there, but not their names, or the info contained in them. instead, you get a marker that looks like html/xml? it apparently references an rtf file, and shows font/color info. the actual marker start/end time values are correct, however.
grrrr
can anyone confirm, or know of a workaround?

Are there any free alternatives to Emaichemy to handle importing from Thunderbird to OS X Lion Mail?
I'm also having a problem importing from Thunderbird, but in my case the folders are importing but I'm only getting one message per folder. This was reported in another forum for an older OS X version (apparently Apple never fixed the problem), and the solution there was to use a utility called Eudora Mailbox Cleaner. Unfortunately, this utility does not run under Lion.
What I'm really trying to do is get local mail folders migrated from Zimbra Desktop to Mac Mail. There was no direct way to do this, because Mac Mail doesn't support Zimbra Deskop, and ZD can't export to an mbox file (it exports to eml format). However, Mac Mail "supports" importing directly from Thunderbird, and Thunderbird can import eml files using an add-on called ImportExportTools, so I installed Thunderbird, installed the add-on, imported the exported data from ZD, and that successfully brought my local mail folders into Thunderbird. So far so good. Unfortunately, when I tried to import from Mac Mail directly from Thunderbird, it imported all the folders, but just one message from each folder.
I also tried using the Thunderbird ImportExportTools add-on to export the folders, thinking it would generate mbox format. I was able to import that data using the "import from mbox" option in Mac Mail, but I got the same result -- all my folders came in with a single in message in each.
Any other suggestions? This is a one-time thing, I don't want to spend money on an application if I don't have to.

I've imported some midi tracks, used the mixer to set pan, volume etc, but when I stop playback and restart it sets every midi track back to '0'. I've been using LE for years, this is a new one, any ideas?

Hi,
that's because Logic reads the volume information out of the imported MIDI tracks and sets the volume fader according to this information. The MIDI information overrides volume settings you have done, so you have to identify the MIDI events that contain volume (or expression or pan or whatever) information and delete them. You can use the event list editor for this.

Why do I lose my midi tracks when exporting a song to iTunes from GarageBand?

I have been using GarageBand for many years and have never had any real problems--it has always delivered. Recently, though, I finished a track that I wanted to share online, so I tried to get it into MP3 format via iTunes. After listening to it in iTunes, I noticed that none of the midi tracks were there. I tried exporting it again at a higher quality, then in a different format (AAC), and every time, I ended up with a track lacking all midi parts. Does anyone know why that would be or, more importantly, how to fix this problem? Many thanks!

I received the following response from email support:
The reason you saw an amount higher than what was actually in your account may be due to your account information not being updated. This can happen, for example, when you use multiple computers to make iTunes Store purchases. You can refresh your account information at any time, which will in turn update the store credit amount iTunes displays next to your account name. To do this, sign out of the iTunes Store and then sign in again.
It seems that the balance itunes is originally reporting should not be there and it is refreshed (and removed) once the new balance is added.
It's kind of unfortunate that the itunes store can't properly track an account balance (especially since I only use 1 computer for my account), but that's your answer. Hopefully Apple will get around to correcting this in the future, as it's pretty frustrating.

Flex pitch (Time) needs midi track import function

Flex pitch (Time) needs midi track import function

HI it's me again ( under my studio name).. I don't use Garage Band. I use Logic x. so don't know why you'd suggest doing away with another program when I have no use for Garage Band.
I think it ended up working only because it was a glitch.... when I exited the program and came back to it, it started working. The only thing that didn't appear was the pitch correction on the left hand side of the sound editor.. the slider button where you can go up to 100%...
but at least it worked. This Apple operating system always has bugs .. but gllitching on my projects doesn't make me a happy camper.
They don't even offer support for it. unless you pay through the roof.
Anyway.. it showed up... not sure how it did, but rebooted my computer and miraculously it was there.

Exporting and importing text tracks

When I export a text track (to text with descriptors) all the descriptors appear normally in the .txt, but the actual caption is somewhat inverted. For example ABCD appears BADC, even though the '{textbox ...}' descriptor on the same line is untouched.
When I go to import this .txt file, the caption that appears on the video is very jumbled. (Not anything close to BADC.) It resembles asian characters.
Finally if this text track is exported, the entire caption line in the .txt, including the '{textbox . . .}' descriptor looks like this: '‘çæ¨³¥âç© Œ„æç ¥‘ç´.' The rest of the descriptors and the time stamps look normal.
What am I doing wrong? I have a video including the captions finished. All I want to do is make the captions bigger.

{QTtext}{font:Geneva}{plain}{size:12}{textColor: 65535, 65535, 65535}{backColor: 0, 0, 0}{justify:center}{timeScale:1000}{width:160}{height:48}{timeStamps:absolute}{l anguage:0}{textEncoding:0}
Above is a sample of a QT text track exported with descriptors. You need only change the number in the {size:XX} to your desired font size.
Text track are also vector based files. Changing the dimension (after import) in the Movie Properties Visual Settings tab window will "scale" your text to a larger size.
I think the error in your text to text (with descriptors) export was the original source. You must also create text tracks as "plain text". Saving a Word file as Rich Text would cause the QT import to bring in garbage characters.

Midi export/import inaccurate from Logic Sibelius

Triplets are inconsistently notated at triplets OR dotted 8th-16th. I have quantized destructively, ensured perfect legato, and made sure that my import settings allow triplets. Anyone else having this problem? And, more helpful: anyone have a solution?

yes you can export a MIDI region to a MIDI File in Logic.

Importing midi file from Sibelius

Hello
I've been trying to import a score I composed in Sibelius 6 into Logic Pro X. What happens is I have no control over the panning or volume; everything reverts back to it's original position after setting the pan and volume. I had everything panned to center and volume equal on all tracks before I exported the midi file from Sibelius. When I first tried this, the dynamic markings in the score moved the faders up and down. I removed them, but still have the same problem. Any ideas?
Thank you
Michael

Use the "Transform" window.
Transform can be used to simply have a complex selection criteria, without actually modifying the data.
With your region selected, in the transform window specify your selection criteria, for example "All NOTES with a velocity of 45 or less", and hit the "Select Only". This will select all notes in that region that make your criteria. Then use the cut/paste functions to move them to a new region.
If you are unsure how the transform window works and need some more help, post back.

How do i save a midi track as a .smf?

i need to save a looped midi region (click track) as an .smf, not a .mid. can't seem to find that option anywhere.

what program uses the extension .smf? is it another music program?
to use a logic midi track in another program you need to export it as a Standard Midi File (SMF) which has the .mid extension then you can import it into another music program. Logic does not convert midi tracks to any other extension except .mid

No output from recorded audio tracks, only midi tracks..please help

I've been working on a song in Garageband and suddenly lost audio from real instruments and can only hear the midi from last night until today. It consists of 3 midi tracks and 9 audio tracks. I have software plugins or FX on almost all 9 tracks with amplitube or similar. Things are slow as the arrow is red at the top, however last night I was able to still make changes - slowly. I was able to do a mixdown and export to mp3. Then I shut the computer down. Today I open up Garageband and can only hear the midi tracks of my song however other songs I have work totally fine. Nothing is muted and I've checked everything. Levels meters are moving on all the tracks, I can just feintly hear one guitar track. This is frustrating. I even tried locking half of the tracks and still nothing. I've rebooted etc and same
I'm running Lion with a TC Konnekt 8 sound module, on a 2.4 core duo 2 MBP with 4 GB of ram

I ran onyx and did a clean up etc then rebooted, loaded GB and same problems. I turned on the ducking thing, everything looked ok and then once I hit play everything worked again. I've turned off ducking and it still works. Could this be a glitch as I've never enabled it before

Exporting multiple video tracks as 1 file with different effects on each track.

I am currently trying to export 3 video tracks as 1 mp4.
Each track has exactly the same footage, but with different effects to achieve a certain aesthetic.
When I view the sequence it in premiere all 3 tracks are displayed correclty.
The exported version appears to only export the uppermost track, track 3.
Track 2 and 3 have opacity set to 47%.
Track 1 opacity is set to 100%.
I have tried exporting a test project that has multiple layers and there was no problem.
I have NOT tried exporting a test project with exactly the same opacities and effects, as it's a bit time consuming. I will do so if I can't get a stisafctory solution from the forums.
The problem, I believe, is down to the layering of effects. In this case on track 3 I have procamp, which is boosting the red in 1 layer. This is the image I get once the final piece is exported - track 3's.
So..
How do I get the effects of each layer to show properly in the export?
and
Why is the exported version missing tracks (or the effects of tracks) 1 and 2?

You didn't answer probably the most important question: whether you're using hardware or software Mercury Playback Engine (MPE). However, since you've set Maximum Render Quality on, it's largely irrelevant.
When you're using hardware MPE or have the MRQ flag set for your export, rendering is performed with linear color. Linear color processing affects how color channels and alpha channels are composited--anything less than 100% opacity is subject to linear color processing. Check out this article for more information on linear color/linear light: Linear Light - Artbeats
Since it sounds like you're seeing the results you expect in the Program Monitor, but not export, I'll wager you're not using hardware MPE. Only by disabling the Maximum Render Quality flag on export will you be able to get results that match what you see in the Program Monitor (within reason, of course). The only way you could see the effects of linear color within Premiere would be to either use a qualified GPU that enables hardware MPE, or go into your Sequence Settings and check the "Maximum Render Quality" option and then render previews.
Please let me know if that helps resolve the issue, or at least provide a little insight into the problem.

Using export/import to migrate data from 8i to 9i

We are trying to migrate all data from 8i database to 9i database. We plan to migrate the data using export/import utility so that we can have the current 8i database intact. And also the 8i and 9i database will reside on the same machine. Our 8i database size is around 300GB.
We plan to follow below steps :
Export data from 8i
Install 9i
Create tablespaces
Create schema and tables
create user (user used for exporting data)
Import data in 9i
Please let me know if below par file is correct for the export :
BUFFER=560000
COMPRESS=y
CONSISTENT=y
CONSTRAINTS=y

Export/import utility for portals: opeasst ; where to launch from?

hi all
does this script opeasst.csh have to be run from infra home or the midtier home? i think for exports of pages and portlets from 904, the CH 10 on export/import requires us to launch export from the mid-tier.
however, if i set up the midtier as my home, and intend to use the opeasst.csh, i do not see this script sitting in the directory where it's been suggested to reside:
ORACLE_HOME\portal\admin\plsql\wwu
instead it is in the ORACLE-infra home:
ORACLE_HOME\portal\admin\plsql\wwu
please help. it is URGENT.
I am using OracleAS 10g Portals 9.0.4 version.

I've been doing some runs and had typical DB export's at about 12 GB per hour (compressed to ~7GB file). Typical DB I/0 bottle neck loosened by using different file system/disk to point export at than where the DB data files reside (CPU ~80% of single CPU)
now the import is a bigger item.

Roland MC500 into logic - setting tempo for imported midi data

My mate has an Roland MC500, where he's programmed multi-tracked midi info for songs etc, and we've sussed how to import the channels into separate regions in logic.
We've set the tempo as per the tempo on the MC500, but after importing the track, after a certain length of time the tempo goes out of sync. All the midi data has come across, and when assigning soft-synths etc it plays fine, but just moves out of tempo.
Is there a way that, when you have imported midi data in this way, you can ask logic to confirm/set the tempo?
I've had a read thru the manuals etc, but may have missed where it describes that bit?
Thanks for any advice.
andy

yes...
you need to set the MC500 to send the MMC over its MIDI outs... than in Logic you must set th sync "Blue button"
the picture shows MTC but if you scroll down the menu you will find MMC settings... that must be turned ON on Logic settings Synchronization.
Logic must be setted as Slave... because Roland device is the slower one!
