Flexing tool to piano parts in Logic Express 9

Can you help me solve the problem with flexing acoustic piano parts using the flex tool. I've tried all the functions, slicing, mono, poly, etc. and still get clicks and blurbs when I move them. Am I going about this the wrong way. I just want to move chords to line up timing wise without having to do the whole take over.
Also why do some of the transient lines click, better how can you delete the tranisiet lines, (the ones that are in gray) this would help elminate the clicking.
Thank You In Advance For Your Help

Hi,
To answer your questions,
1. I'm sorry, but there is no easier way. Since the "audio to score" function (where you let Logic interpret the notes in the audio and makes midi out of it) hasn't fully matured yet, I don't think there's an easier approach.
2. In the environment you can add a chord memorizer. With this function you can Logic tell to put in a (for instance) C-chord when you hit just the C-note on your midi keyboard. Since I used this function just once and I'm not anywhere close to a Mac with Logic I can't tell exactly how this works right now.
3. You can change the position of a note on the tablature by changing the note's MIDI channel (in the inspector).

Jam Band for logic express? Drum Fills

Hello, I am working with a Logic 8 instructional video, Jam Band is being used to set up loops and fills. Does anyone know if that was part of logic
express, Also are there any Drum Fills ( can't find them) with Garage band loops or Logic Express, Thanks so much,
Troy

Battery is not a sequencer. It does not store patterns, you have to do that in your Logic track. There are tons of samples arranged in kits from recorded samples to electronic drum kits and even special effects kits.
Reading all of your posts, to be honest Ultrabeat sounds to be exactly what you want. To get that you need to upgrade to Logic Pro.
Do a search Google for "Logic Pro Ultrabeat" you will find info from various sources that will help you decide.
In Ultrabeat you can load sounds, create sounds by synthesis or samples, create patterns then put the pattern directly into a Logic software instrument region

Can Anyone suggest and audio/midi interface for MacBook Logic Express?

Can anyone suggest an audio/midi interface for use with a MacBook and Logic Express? I'm seeing a lot of problems with Tascam devices; does anyone have an interface that actually works well? Two audio inputs and midi i/o would suit my current needs, but more would be fine if it works.
Thanks!

Any of the Pro-Tool Mboxs will work with Logic Express. Kind of an unadvertised feature. But I have an original M-box with very nice Focusrite Preamps that works like a charm. No midi though.. some of the newer M-boxes have them.
Also, I have a Presonus Firebox and I know they make some smaller interfaces. No problems working with those.
M-audio Makes some great interfaces too. Their Fast Track pro would probably have everything you need for under $200.

Logic Express to Pro Tools for mixdown

Hi!
Really sorry if this topic has been covered before, but all I can find on the various Logic boards I know of are ways of doing this in Logic Pro that aren't available in Express.
My band recorded an EP in Logic Express, which was great, but the engineer we'd like to use to mix it is Pro Tools-only. I know Pro Tools can load up AIF files, but the problem I have is that each track has different start and end points. If I gave him the individual tracks as is, we'd be spending all day synching them up.
I've thought of two ways I can prepare the files for him. Please let me know if they're ********.
1) Setting the fader at unity (0) and bouncing each track individually to a 24 bit WAV or AIF file while the rest are muted.
2) Manually cutting and pasting "fake" beginnings and endings of audio information to each track, then using the Glue tool to create a new, merged track. This way, I figure, each track should be in perfect synch with the rest.
Any help appreciated. Thanks! Rufe.

Hi,
half ok,
bounce one by one to a folder (mute the other tracks) from the start to the finish, PCM 24 bit (44.1 if you going to make cd's), WAV, SDII or AIFF,
that way, all files start and finish in the same spot, Inside Protools you cut the silence parts and don't forget to place a dither plug-in in the master-fader.

Jorge

Region Flex problems Logic Express 9

Hello
I have a really annoying problem using Flex Time in Logic Express 9.
Whenever I try to extend a region the length automatically jumps by an entire bar longer. I have switched Snap to Ticks so it's not that (once it has leapt a whole bar it resizes fine).
It is infuriating! I only want to stretch the audio a couple of ticks as I am trying to match an acapella to a beat.
Please help before I throw my laptop out of a window!!

Will the Audio MIDI Setup utility allow you to configure things properly?

Does Logic Express has the flex time function?

Does the latest Logic Express has the flex time function which can either stretch or shrink the sound wave? I know Logic Pro 9 has that. I am struggling with buying either studio or express
thank you

It does. Express and Studio have the same engine... except that Studio seems to be maintained better these days...
My (worthless) opinion right now, given the two recent releases of Studio with nothing released for Express is if you have the extra money, go with Studio.

Logic express "Instrument EXS24 Yamaha Grand Piano.exs: 054_F#2KM56_S.wav file audio couldn't be found"

Hi, i have a problem with logic express opening on the macbook pro, i have the program on the imac and it works good, but when i put it on the macbook pro and open it i want to select the acoustic piano instrument and it says: "Instrument EXS24 Yamaha Grand Piano.exs: 054_F#2KM56_S.wav file audio couldn't be found", and i cant use the piano controller to record acoustics pianos, please if someone know what is happening and how to fix it,
Thx!

It's actually a GarageBand file: /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Sampler/Sampler Files/Grand Piano. You could copy it over from your iMac if it's missing on your MBP. If you find you have other files missing you might want to just reinstall the content.

I have Logic Express 7. Can I import Pro Tools sessions into that?

I'm trying to export my PT sessions into Logic Express 7. Can I do this?

The easiest, guarantedd-to-work way, is to export all your track from PT sessions as AUDIO.
Have them ALL consolidated at the same exact start point, and then import them inot Logic. Line them up to th same start point, and PRESTO! You're there.
Logic LE does NOT support any of the OMF and other formats of mutli-track import-export stuff, only Logic PRO.
Cheers
PS I always do it the way I described for you, with no issues, no "my OMF file is corrupted"

Will Logic Express ever do non-realtime effects processing?

This is the single reason I don't use Logic. From what I have seen so far, I think the program is incredible, apart from the fact that for my needs, the lack of a sound file processing with preview function renders Logic unusable as a production tool. If this functionality were added I'd buy it, simple as that. Please Apple, make me happy. PLEASE.
thanks.

There is no reason at all to put the blame on the software, Michael. First and foremost, software is just a tool. Just like a regular tool, an electric drill for example: if one doesn't know how to use it properly and gets a serious trauma as a result, it's them to blame not the tool. It doesn't mean that the tool is a "piece of crap." That would be a wrong logical conclusion, if you know what I mean.
Now, when saving a project for the first time Logic always asks you what to do with external audio recordings, doesn't it? You can also configure the program in the Project Settings, instructing it on how to handle the Assets (recordings, samples, etc). What happened to you is simply that the Assets were not included in the projects. Next time you record, just tick the appropriate option before saving your files, ok?
Identical files of your project are nothing more than automatic backups that Logic creates when your work is in progress.
Now, let me explain what you did wrong (yes, you did!). Logic Express is a very sophisticated piece of software. It requires that you at least read getting started manual and skip through important parts of user manual, if you don't have the time to go through it thoroughly. So, you just began to record without knowing what happens when you use Logic and the peculiarities of its workflow. And the outcome is quite natural. Don't blame the software, blame yourself for it!
PS: Try looking for your recordings in users/<your user name>/Music/Logic. If you are lucky your files are there
Also, read "Working with Projects" section of the User Manual on p.137

Master volume adjustments aren't translating when i bounce projects from Logic Express, any tips?

hi folks!
whenever i bounce a track from Logic Express it's always significantly quieter than any other aiff, mp3 or wave file i have, including those that i have bounced from garageband. Even if i crank the 'master' volume in the mixing window, it sounds loud in Logic, but the bounced file is a big 'wanh wanh' and has absolutely no change in volume.
i must be doing something stupid.
is there another place i can adjust the master volume that the bounce will read?
does anyone else have this problem?
i'm pulling out my hair.
any suggestions would be very welcome!
thank you!

Hi,
first of all: The "Master" Fader is for trimming your mix to your monitors only. The bounce will be taken from the "stereo output" channel, so look there for the correct volume.
Now for the loudness issue: Garageband has kind of a built in foolproof bouncing. Normally, you would have to adjust not only volume to be an loud as you wish, but you have to insert some plugins into the stereo output channel to ensure that the signal doesn't get any louder than 0db, because this will produce clipping and with raising volume, distort the sound. But:
You can raise the volume if you insert the LIMITER plugin as very last plugin into the stereo output channel. Make sure it is the last plugin so there are no changes to loudness after it, not even an eq!
Any change of loudness before the limiter will be limited (hence the name) to a maximum of 0db by default (you can change the value - i use -0.1 db just to be sure.) while the softer parts of the music are being raised in loudness. If you listen to it, you'll notice the whole song is louder without distorting. Of course, if you overdo it, you'll hear the squished dynamics. Experiment!
Garageband seems to have a built in preset to perform these tasks fairly well. In Logic, you have the freedom of using or not using these settings and to customize them, which is quite normal for a pro tool.

Difference between Logic Express and Pro? ro

Is the actual logic part the exact same? Is it that with the Pro you get all the extras? (soundtrack pro, qmaster, logic node, compressor, main stage, wave burner, jam packs). Is that what makes it the "pro" version? Or does the actual Logic app offer more abilities? If so, I can't seem to see much a difference. thanks

The app itself is indeed the same, but the included content and plug-ins are different.
This Apple support document details all the differences:

* Effect plug-ins found only in Logic Studio
Space Designer (convolution reverb)
Delay Designer
Match EQ
Linear Phase EQ

How is logic express 9?

Hello all,, was wandering if it pays at this point to upgrade from logic express 8 to 9,,just looking for some feedback of the new version
thanks

I upgraded even though I wasn't happy to spend an extra $99 only a month after buying LE8. That said now that i own it I think the FLEX feature alone makes it worth the upgrade. And as stated the guitar amps and peddle boards are also nice upgrades. Flex is not perfect, like any tool you need to learn how to properly use it. That said it really helps tighten up audio tracks to make the finished product that much more polished. I love it!

Solo instruments in Logic Express (strings, horns)

Hello,
I have imported an audio track (mixdown of bass, drums, piano) into Logic Express. I would now like to make a string quartet arrangement over the track: solo violin, viola, cello. (Same for trumpet, trombone, saxes.) One track for each instrument. I can't find workable solo instruments in Logic.
I will be recording the actual parts with real instruments and don't need high-quality samples, so Garritan is probably way more than I need. This is strictly for arranging. As I understand, the available Jam Packs do not include solo strings.
Are there basic MIDI files on a Mac that could be used for this? Or some kind of plug-in? Alternatively, I do have Finale (2004 version, but I can upgrade). Will Finale parts work somehow with Logic Express?
Thanks.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply to my question about solo instrument MIDI tracks in Logic. Pop Strings in the EXS24 is what I have been using, and while there is a solo cello there, I don't see any solo violin options, pizz or arco. There's definitely no viola option. My workaround for now is to have four solo cello tracks, with the top two cello tracks serving as violin parts, the third as viola, and the fourth as cello. Seems kind of silly, but at least they are solo instrument tracks. The ensemble samples are useless for writing parts for actual instruments.
I'll try exporting a Finale arrangement as MIDI files, importing those into Logic Express, and see if that's better.

How to create an ABAP Query with OR logical expression in the select-where

Hi,
In trying to create an ABAP query with parameters. So it will select data where fields are equal to the parameters entered. The default logical expression is SELECT.. WHERE... AND.. However I want to have an OR logical expression instead of AND.. how can I attain this??
Please help me on this.. Points will be rewarded.
Thanks a lot.

Question Man

Hi Bhupal, Shanthi, and Saipriya,
Thanks for your replies. But that didn't answer my question.
Bhupal,
You cannot just replace AND with OR in an ABAP QUERY. ABAP QUERY is a self generated SAP code. You'll just declare the tables, input parameters and output fields to be displayed and it will create a SAP standard code. If you'll try to change the code and replace the AND with OR in the SAP standard code, the system will require you to enter access key/object key for that particular query.
Shanthi,
Yes, that is exactly what need to have. I need to retireve DATA whenever one of the conditions was satisfied.
Saipriya,
Like what I have said, this is a standard SAP code so we can't do your suggestion.
I have already tried to insert a code in the ABAP query (there's a part there wherein you can have extra code) but that didn't work. Can anybody help me on this.
Thanks a lot.
Points will be rewarded.

Dynamic Logical Expressions in ABAP: IF (lt_cond)...

is it possible to have a dynamically constructured logical expression?
I have a condition I need to use in an IF, but I want to avoid hard-coding, so I dynamicallybuild it.
for a simple example:
CONCATENATE ITAB-f1
           'EQ'
           varValue
           INTO lt_cond SEPARATED BY SPACE.
IF (lt_cond).

Is it possible to do this?

I am trying to use the macro to check an IF (cond).
cond is a dynamically constructed condition.

I'm having no trouble getting COND constructed. But I am having trouble between my macro and the processing as my error always tells me I'm calling my macro without 2 actual parameters. Or when I DEFINE my macro with &1 instead of &1 &2, I get 'incorrect logical expression'.
I've read all the documentation I can find on this, but i still cannot figure out why my macro is not processing.
Code is lengthy, but if you can, please help.
