Fade Tool Problem

Yet another confusion, sorry for prevailing upon you again AOS but I know you will have the answer. In the same project I had the loop problem, I am trying to use a fade on one region. The region is an audio track (live guitar) flattened and flex is off. I can make the fade graphic with the fade tool or in the inspector but I can't hear the fade. It is a simple long fade out and I have used this many times in the past. If I take all effects off I can hear the fade working so I guess it is the effects that are triggering after the fade. So my question is is there a simple way to use the fade tool and include the effects on the strip or do I have to use automation to get my fade?

Region fades and automation fades are slightly different animals. Both have their ups and downs. I have had trouble with region fades, too. If you have to use a region fade, here are some a few workarounds I have used when dealing with buggy region fades:
Use the delete All Fade Files command under the Mix Menu in Logic X. Close and reopen the song. This will force Logic to re-render the fades.
Drag the fade edge of the region slightly to change the region size.
Click to select the region. then manually enter the fade in the Region Inspector (Main Window, press I to show inspector, then click the disclosure triangle to show the Region Inspector, then click the More disclosure triangle.) You can enter the fade time in milliseconds (1000 ms = 1 sec). Yes, it's a lot of trouble to do it this way but you can shift+click multiple regions and apply a fade to all of them with this method; useful for multi-track/drum editing.
Occasionally. I have noticed that fades "disappear" from the regions. The inspector lets me check to see if they're still there and it's a display error. Save, close, re-open will usually fix it.

Fade Tool problems! help please!!

I've noticed that when I'm editing audio files and cut out silences, I'm left with a loud clicking noise. So to solve this problem, I used the fade tool (esc 0) and faded out the ending of every single region which took a ridiculous amount of time to do.
This solved the problem, but I'm wondering is there a way to have all recorded audio automatically have a fade at the end of the region? I know that in other programs such as Reaper this is a function that can be turned on or off but is there a way to do this in logic to save time?
please help! thanks!

This is also where you turn normal fades into speed up/slow down fades (in L9) - click-hold on the word 'fade', and in general is a good thing to get in the habit of looking at.
For instance: Say you have drag mode set to X-fade, and you are dragging regions around and enjoying some automatic crossfading action. Great. Super. Now you decide this one particular region is not going to cross fade between two regions but is gonna be all by itself somewhere else. You still want to apply fades to it, but now they don't work with the fade tool. Look at the Inspector and you'll see that region has EqPower (or the abbreviation). So you have to change it to "out" and you're good to go.

Fade Tool Problems... Grrr

I have recorded my guitar, added effects and I want to use the fade tool but when I add the fade, it has no effect on the audio. Does any one know what the story is?

I never said GB mode was an issue, that was just an aside.
The only time fades do not work on audio regions is if a Flex mode is enabled on the track. You'd have to turn on Flex View to check that.

Cross fade tool problems

I am wondering if anyone has had a problem with cross fades in logic pro, I am dealing with about 15 or so audio tracks, I have been mixing them for awhile using fades and cross fades and everything has been sounding and working great. all of a sudden no on some of the projects all the fades dont work, and at the point of the fade it brings in a messed up sound from another instrument, basically they all need to be redone, when I do redraw the fad it works again, but I am not looking forward to redrawing all the fades.
I have a feeling it may be my disk space getting packed up, but I still have about 17GB, thats the only thing I can think of that changed with my computer in the past few months.
Has anyone had this issue? any fixes for it?

It's not uncommon for fade files to become corrupted.
A couple of quick options when this happens...
Go to the songs folder, and locate the Fade file folder, and trash it. When you hit "play" again, the files will re-draw.
Or "Save As" under a slightly different title... like "Song Title 01, Song Title 02", etc... and when you hit play, the fade files will update and re-draw.
See if either of those options get things back on track, without you having to draw them all over again.

Having problems with the Fade Tool

I cannot get the fade tool to work. I don't know if I have some setting issue or I'm just plain dense. I drag it over the audio area and nothing happens. Any ideas?

Few things...
Drag it over a standard audio file (Not apple loop, MP3...- but wav, Aif are OK)
Then cover the region and some of the background of the arrange.

Fade tool, audio does not fade why?

Fade tool, audio does not fade why? I can set my fade curve but the audio doesn't change.
Anyone is experiencing this problem?
thanks,

What frame rate/frame size/codec did you record?
How did you transfer it into FCX?

Can't turn off Fader tool

Hey all! I've just updated to Logic X about a month ago. During my session, I've been cutting, pasting, and editing between two audio tracks, comping two bass tracks sent to me from an outside source. I've been using the fader tool to smooth out the 'pops' and clicks with no problem. When I was ready to change back to using the Marquee tool, I was unable to move or cut the audio on either track. Even though the Marquee Tool is highlighted, it still acts as if I'm using the Fade tool. Has anyone experienced this problem before and if so, is there a solution? Thanks for your help!

Update: Just figured it out! At some point, I've enabled the Marquee tool on the left click side. It should have been the 'pointer' setting. My bad!

How do I set up a track that my fade tool will work on?????

I'm trying to do fades on my tacks using the fade tool.
I open a new track, record something and go to tools and pick the fade tool.
But it's not letting me do a fade at the start or the end of a track.
I go to the inspector window and look at the Region Parameter Box.
There I notice that there was not much info in the Region Parameter Box in the inspector window, just (loop, delay, follow tempo)
On other tracks from the templets in logic 9 I could do a fade in and with the fade tool, but I notice the Region Parameter Box in the inspector window had a bunch more info like,
(loop, delay, gain, fade in, curve, fade out, follow tempo)
So how do I set up the track that has all that info in the inspector windows Region Parameter Box,
then I could do my fades with my fade tool.
Thanks for the help..........LEROX

Laptop mode tools problem with kernel 3.0

today I just updated the system and my laptop runs dramatically hotter after that. I read the archwiki, it does talk about the laptop mode tools problem with kernel 3.0 but when I opened the file /usr/sbin/laptop_mode, the lines which the wiki mentions are not there. Does anyone here have the same problem and can you offer the solution?
Here is my /usr/sbin/laptop_mode
#! /bin/sh
# Script to start or stop laptop_mode, and to control various settings of the
# kernel, hardware etc. that influence power consumption.

# state change.

# This is a 2 phase locking approach. LMT_REQ_LOCK is the outer lock and LMT_INVOC_LOCK is the inner lock
# We take this approach to ensure the scenario that, "At any point when an event occurs (AC/BATT), the
# kernel can generate multiple events spanning over a couple of events. The first event is honored and
# lmt executes. If the last event triggered at the 9th second, there is a fair chance that a good amount
# of state change would have occured in the OS, to honor that state, we keep an outer lock (LMT_REQ_LOCK)
# handy, so that those changes can also be applied and not forgotten.
# Workflow:
# Event-1 is generated and lmt executes (lmt runtime could span 5-10 seconds)
# At seventh second, 4 events generate. But Event-1 is still running.
# We don't want to discard all the remaining 4 events, but at least honor 1 so that we can act to the changes
# that occured in the last 7 seconds.
# So, Event-2 acquire LMT_REQ_LOCK and waits to acquire LMT_INVOC_LOCK (which is acquire by Event-1)

I had the problem but edited the line in /usr/sbin/laptop_mode and it worked. But thoes lines are not there anymore. I guess they changed it at the recent update of laptop-mode-tools.
Regarding your heat problem; is there any other thing you use to cut down power usage (from AUR maybe)? I use acpi_call from AUR had to edit lines there aswell, but it should be updated by now.

Using the Fade tool in Logic 9

I am a newbe and need some help. I can use the Fade tool just fine on single audio tracks. However, I am unable to figure out how to use the Fade tool on audio tracks with multiple takes??? The Fade "<" appears when I move the cursor to the top of the track but wen is swipe to invoke a Fade, I get other behavior such as moving the track.
What am I missing.
Thanks in advance
Dan

Thanks Christian. That did it. Appreciate taking the time for my simple question.

Wierd Poly Lasso Tool problem

Hi, I just started using PS on Mac, and having a polygonal lasso tool problem, when I make any selected area with the poly lasso and complete the shape, say for instance a series of sun rays, it ends up with a bunch of boxes in the shape, that I didn't put there, I'll attach a screen shot, any idea what is going on?

Hi, yeah, i tried that, have there been any bugs that relate to the polygonal lasso tool?
heres a post with the same problem, but no fix- this seems really silly

Fade tool use?

I'm trying to fade something out, and am dragging the fade tool into the audio region, but nothing happens. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

They also only work on uncompressed files, like AIFF or WAV. If you're using an MP3 or AAC, you have to convert it first. You can do that in the bin using the 'Copy/Convert Files' command.

Fade Tool Not Working At All!!!

I've read every post about this issue thus far and none of them has helped. I am not using Apple Loops Files F.Y.I., Im not using multiple takes of audio so lets clear that up first. All I am trying to do is use the **** fade tool on a single track of Audio. I have tried converting to every audio file format I changed the advanced settings...etc...etc.. still no Fade Tool!! why is the fade tool so **** elussive?? Please...anyone this really annoying

On my machine it is even worse. Logic crashes every time when I select the Fade Out command and that is on a new Project, just with one new Region. It happens on both machines, an iMac and MacBOok, both with the most recent OSX 10.9.4 (BTW, same crash behavior on the Yosemite beta version)

Brush Tool problems

I am having an ongoing problem with the Brush Tool in my PSE9.
I have the question written out in Word Pad but I can't seem to copy & paste it into this box. The 1st thing I need to know is how to copy & paste my simple text question here.

Barbara B.:
It has been several days since I heard anything from you on my ongoing Brush Tool problem. From your digging what have you found? In the past 10 days I have continued spotting B&W negative scans & trying to collect additional information on the propensity of the brush tool to create a line running across the image. Basically what I have found reinforces the 7 points/factors I outlined in posting #14 on 7/7/12. I'll go over & expand on those again here.
1) When the line runs it always goes from where I am currently spotting to some point I previously clicked & put a spot. This is not necessarily the most recent spot. It can travel to a spot I did 30 sec. ago (& have done several others in the interim). It does need to be on the visable portion of the screen.
2) As stated. The width of the line is the same as the width of the specific selected brush size. Usually between nos. 4 & 9. The tone of the line is the same as the tone selection (so far I have only experienced this with B&W).
3) The more I spot the slower the computer's reaction time becomes. After spotting for an hour, or two, I will see several seconds between the time I click on a spot & the time the spot actually appears on the negative. I have tried turning off PSE & rebooting it. This seems to speed things back up for a while.
4) When the situation in #3 occurs I obviously can't click rapidly.
5) I still don't understand why this happens at all. I move the curser outside of the image frame towards the Vert. & Horz. slider as I get ready to move to a new part of the image. I place the curser on the slider control a left click (as though to move the slider). Instead of moving the slider it shoots one of these lines out onto the image from under the slider control & out onto the image field to some point where there was a previous spotting click. These lines will often run half way across the image field. I have saved some of these examples & could attach them to an email for you to see.
6) Once one of these lines start appearing, or running, they seem to increase with frequency. Almost as though the software is developing a memory. As I say in #3, if I re boot PSE the memory either is erased, or at least reduced.
7) The only time the original statement is not totally true is when a line runs from under the slider (which is outside the viewing area) out into the visable image field.
Here are some additional factors I have noticed:
8) I normally begin spotting by setting the view drop down to "actual pixels". I notice that If I further magnify the image by then clicking once on the "zoom in" option I have a reduced frequency if these wild lines appearing. This may be due to the fact that when the image is larger I am working (stippling) at a slower rate.
9) If I have a hair or scratch on the neg. (normally using a drawn line to obliterate) & I use a stippling/clicking pattern rather than a drawn line the frequency or chance of a free running line is reduced - not eliminated, but reduced

Fade Tool

The fade tool no longer works. Trying to do an X-fade but when I click it turns into a hand and will only move the region. Is this happening to anyone else? It was happening in the last version of Logic Pro 9 as well.

Yeah, same her. If Flex/Pitch is activated, you can't fade in or out. If you deactivate Flex, you can fade. If you switch back to Flex then your fade is gone. Seems to be a bug
