Finding new channel strips

I am creating channel strips using my own sounds on EXS24. However the channel strip finder cant find them....it only shows channel strips already created by Apple, or whoever. Is there a way to find channel strips you have created yourself?

Create the following folder inside your home folder (the first 2 should already exist)
~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Channel Strip Settings
Then create these:
Bus
Instrument
Master
Output
Track
All channel strips inside "Instrument" are for all software instruments (like the EXS24), "Track" is the folder for audio channels.
Simply store your channel strips in these folders and they will be available in the browser.

  • Where can I download new fresh Channel Strips?

    Does anybody know where I can find new channel strips for new sounds?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Try LogicProHelp.com there's a sub forum there just for channel strip settings and instrument and effect presets:

  • Create New Auxilliary Channel Strip in Logic X ? Taken Away ?

    Using create new channel strip setting seems to have been removed or is it a bug ? I took the plunge only to find that a lot has changed in the new DAW. I am particularly distressed that one of the best features on Logic 9 has been removed or just DOES NOT WORK. When this feater used to allow me to create multiple AUX channels with the same BUS or have them ascend or descend. This does not seem to be the case anymore. Is anyone out there having the same issue ? In X it just spits out a channel which it should not do . It should allow you to say how many channels and where you want them routed. This seems like a backwards more for Logic. Very dissapointed.

    I've got Core Audio going, and my interface is MOTU 828 mkII. My typical workflow has been with Universal Track Mode (UTM) deactivated. What I have seen is that when UTM is enabled on my sessions, the Aux channels switch from stereo to mono with the fader rotated all the way to the left.
    That's what I saw when opening my session under the re-installed Logic, which defaulted to UTM enabled. So, I disabled UTM. But now, when creating new Aux strips, I get mono channels even when requesting stereo channels.
    Also - typically, when I enable a bus send on an audio channel, the corresponding bus channel would appear in my Mixer. Now, that's not happening.
    Thanks for your feedback thus far, Erik. - j

  • Solo Button in Channel Strip with Red Line

    Solo Button in Channel Strip with Red Line through it and it won't solo?
    How'd it happen and how do you get rid of it?
    Thanks!

    Try This----From the Manual
    Logic Pro, Express: Solo Safe mode may not remain disabled for a particular channel strip
    Symptoms
    In certain projects, "Solo Safe" mode for a channel strip may enable each time you load the project, even after you disable it and save the project.
    Resolution
    When a channel strip in Logic is "Solo Safe", it remains audible, even when other channel strips are soloed. Solo Safe is indicated by a diagonal red line through the solo button on a channel strip.
    You can manually toggle the solo safe status of a channel strip by Control-clicking its solo button. There are times when you may find that a particular audio channel strip in a project reverts to solo safe mode when you load the project, even after you manually disable solo safe. Here is why that may happen and steps you can take to prevent it from occurring.
    A Logic project contains a special audio channel strip used for pre-listening to audio in the Sample Edit window, Audio Bin, and Loop Browser. When you create a Logic project from one of the factory templates, this channel strip is assigned to "Audio 256". This channel strip stays in solo safe mode so that you can always preview audio. The image below shows the channel strip for a new, empty project.
    If there is no audio channel strip in a project assigned to "Audio 256", Logic will use the highest-numbered available audio channel for pre-listening. When the project is loaded, that channel strip will be put into solo safe mode. You may find this happens in older projects that you open in Logic 8, or in cases where you have deleted the "Audio 256" channel strip in a Logic 8 project. To prevent this from affecting channel strips you are using in a project's arrangement, follow these steps:
    Choose Window > Environment.
    From the Environment window menu, choose New > Channel Strip > Auxiliary. A channel strip will appear in the environment.
    Select the channel strip. It will highlight.
    In the Device parameter box in the upper left of the Environment window, click the arrows to the right of "Channel" and choose Audio > Audio 256 from the menu.
    Select the text tool, click on the name below the channel strip and name it "Prelisten".

  • Changing channel strip settings

    When I create a new track, and at the top of the channel strip select "setting" to select a Mainstage Guitar Rig or Electric Effect, for example, everything works great. But when I go back to change the the same setting to another effect or rig, the program won't let me change it. What am I doing wrong?

    Just to re-ask this same question as its not received any responses....
    I'm fairly new to Logic, having been using it (and enjoying the learning curve) for about 4 months. Until today, I've been able to select a new channel strip setting by clicking on the 'Settings' button at the top and change this at will. However, I'm suddenly finding once I've selected a setting, I can no longer re-select another via this method - I just get no response when clicking on the button. However, I am still able to access various settings via the library.
    I'm assuming I've inadvertently changed something, but cannot work out what.
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

  • I can't access my newest channel strip settings in Logic 8

    Hello all. I am running Logic 8.0.2. I have several channel strip settings saved from my move from Logic 7 to 8. I noticed that when I save new channel strip settings now, that they show up in the proper folders on my Mac, but do not show up in my lists in the media bin on the right, or when you click on the "setting" button all the way on the left for the fader you are loading an instrument on. I did click "reset channel strip" which just resets the strip, and tried refresing the library under the media panel on the right. I have looked at some other forums as well, and I'm not sure if this particular issue has been answered but I haven't seen it yet (apologies if I'm repeating from a past post). Please let me know if there is something I can do...it seems like it should be something simple, like just a "refresh" somewhere, but they still don't show up. Thanks to all for your help!

    i have the same problem with my iphone 4.and when synching with itunes it says "can't synch contacts with iphone because iphone is using contacts. close contacts on iphone and synch again."

  • Moving Patch Channel Strips to Set Level

    I have a patch setup I would like to move to a Set level, complete with it's layout, channel strips, plug-ins, and instruments. Is this possible in MainStage 1? How? And, iƒ not, is it possible in MainStage 2?
    Thanks.....

    The simplest way is to do it by channel strip, for each channel strip, position your mouse over the Setting block, right click, choose "Copy Channel Strip Setting", go to your Set (insert a new channel strip if you have to) then right-click over the Setting block again and choose "Paste Channel Strip Setting".

  • 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.
    Edit:  Curse you and your succinctness CCTM!

  • Possible to create a new MainStage empty channel strip? (sans Rhodes!)

    Is there any way to create a blank new software inst channel strip; i.e. without the EVP88+fx default setting? As it stands I have to use the "Reset Channel Strip" command everytime... totally annoying, especially since creating new channels and resetting them doesn't happen instantaneously.
    mitchell sigman

    I just tried it and it works fine.
    Do this:
    - Choose 'Reset Channel Strip' in the Settings popup at the top of a channel strip
    - Choose 'Save Channel Strip Setting...' from the same menu and give it a name, like Empty
    - In the Channel Strip Settings browser select the strip you just saved
    - Use the Set as Default Channel Strip command
    I followed these steps and I get an empty strip when I add a new SI strip or create a new patch with an SI strip. I'm assuming that you're resetting the strip to clear the plug-ins then immediately using the Set as Default command. This won't work since you haven't selected it in the settings browser first.

  • LP8: "Create New Auxilliary Channel Strips" won't create stereo

    I have recently reloaded Logic Pro v8.0.2 onto a newly reformatted drive running OSX 10.5.8. I have opened a previous session, and brought Logic back out of Universal Track Mode. My mix busses had been converted to mono, so I deleted them and am attempting to recreate them. I'm having trouble creating stereo Aux channels to serve as stereo Bus channels.  I try:
    Mixer > Options > Create New Auxilliary Channel Strips
    I choose these options:
    Format: Stereo
    Input: Bus 3-4 (for example), "Ascending" is checked
    Output: Output 1-2
    Upon clicking "Create" I get a mono track. In this example, a channel named Aux 3 which will only accept a mono input. I can therefore assign Bus 3 as the input on this Aux channel, but not Bus 3-4. There's no mono or stereo link-rings icon in the lower left of the Aux strip for me to toggle between stereo and mono.
    Could someone explain what I'm doing wrong? Happy new year, all. - Jeff

  • 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.

  • Creating Folders in the Library for Channel Strip Settings?

    When I 'Save Channel Strip Setting As', the new setting appears in my Library of Channel Strip Settings, but I want to create a folder of 'Custom Settings' so I don't get bogged down with a bunch of free-floating settings in my Library.  How can I do this?  Thanks!

    Just figured it out.  But in case you're reading this and having the same problem here is what I did...
    In finder I went to the following location :
    User/Library/Application Support/Logic/ChannelStripSettings/Instrument
    in the 'Instrument' folder I created a new folder and titled it Custom Settings, then moved my settings to that folder.  Now in my Logic Channel Strip Setting Library looks much cleaner!

  • Reorder channel strips?

    Is there a way to reorder the channel strips in MainStage? I can't find any way possible so far, and every time I make a new strip, it lands in the #2 spot, messing up my order. I know I"m being picky, but I like certain instruments to be on certain volume sliders on my Axiom and it's a pain to keep changing them.

    I also haven't found a way to re-order, but have found that by exporting the patch and then re-importing it I can have enough consistency to make life a little easier. Hopefully there'll be a nice control-drag sort of operation in a future version.

  • Noob POST!  CHANNEL STRIPS

    Hello,
    I've seen how to save a single channel strip setting. I've saved one to a folder I created on the desktop but it doesn't show up to be recalled though.
    I have 2 questions:
    1. Why doesn't it show up?
    2. How can I save multiple (like 12 tracks of drums) channel strip settings to be recalled in other songs?
    Thanks,
    p.s. I've searched everywhere and I couldn't find the answer. I would really appreciate the help!

    Logic looks for user channel strip settings in a specific place, which should come up as the default save location when you "Save Channel Strip Setting As..." The location is here:
    ~(user home)/Library/Application Support/Logic/Channel Strip Settings/Track/
    For multiple channel strips, you can save a song as a template file. When you create new songs, you can choose that template as your starting point. Templates save everything--inserts, volume, pan, bus sends, etc. (whereas channel strips only save inserts).
    If you want a default setup for all new songs, create a customized Autoload.lso document. (BTW, these files also have to be stored in specific locations.)
