Getting new tracks to default to stereo

hi. anyway of making logic default to stereo tracks?
also when making a new track it defaults to no input which slows down my workflow.
is there a way of making it always default to the first stereo input?
cheers!

The suggestion of making a template is a good idea. When you create that Templae, do the following:
Create a default Track (Audio, Software, External), configure it it the way you want it as a default Track. But instead of using those tracks, keep them at the top of your Arrange Window and use them kind of a "copy" station. Select that track and use the Button (or command) "New Track with Duplicate Setting".
Hope that helps

When creating new track in stereo... track opens in mono in arrange window

Since upgrading to 8.0.2...weird things are happening to previously saved projects. Stereo tracks are opening up mono and affecting following track. When creating new tracks in stereo.... tracks open mono. I don't know if this is due to 8.0.2 but all these freaky things have happening since. Also, when previewing Apple Loops, I can only hear it on one side, but Loops sounds fine once dragged to arrange window. Is this common or is my computer haunted ? Should I call Ghost Busters ? HELP !!! lol

Hi there,
I'm having the same problem as well: creating new tracks results in a mono software instrument, not the usual stereo software instrument. BUT... "Universal Track Mode" is already checked in my Audio prefs. I unchecked & rechecked it, but to no avail... I'm still only getting mono software instruments.
Any other ideas? No changes have been made to my system, and I'm running the latest version of Logic Pro.

Is there a way to make it automatically set the ouputs of new tracks to Bus 5? (or something other than Stereo Out?)

When I add a new track, it is automatically set to Stereo Out, is there a way to make it automatically set to Bus 5? I use a mix that sends everything through busses and every time I add a track it seems I have to adjust this.
Thanks

...and/or setup one or more tracks the way you want.. and then create/save a template and load that when you want to start a new project...
You can even have Logic (via it's Startup preferences) autoload that template every time you start a new project... by choosing your template as the default one.
See this page in the User Guide for more info

Is it possible to have track and region parameters boxes under the inspector hidden by default when creating a new track?

I often need to access the effects section and/or select a different midi instrument and have to manual minimize these boxes. It would be nice if I could have these hidden by default as I'm accessing the portions covered by the track and region parameter boxes more frequently than I'm accessing the boxes themselves.
Thanks!

Before answering your question, you have to make sure you understand the difference between the different track types in GarageBand.
Tracks, you record your music on
There are three types of those Tracks.
MIDI Tracks (aka Software Instrument Tracks)
Audio Tracks (aka Real Instrument Tracks)
Drummer Track (only one per Project)
Global Tracks
These are the Tracks that can be shown/hidden at the top of the Tracks Area for specific purposes.
Arrangement Track
Movie Track
Transposition Track
Tempo Track
Master Track
This Track can also be shown/hidden in the Tracks Area. Please note, you cannot delete that Track, only hide it, similar to the Global Tracks
Regarding the Tracks you record your music on, you can delete any of those. It doesn't matter if you created them or there are part of a Template (maybe that is what you refer to as the default track). Once you delete the last Track, the "New Track Window" will pop up to add a new track.
I will explain all that in much more detail in my manual "GarageBand X - How it Works".
Hope that helps

When I try to open a project, the only option for a new track is for external MIDI device; when I try to open an audio or software instrument track, I get an error message saying that "the specified number of tracks could not be created. Reduce the number of tracks to create and try again." I didn't specify ANY number of tracks. Thanks for help!

Ah.. then I suspect you just need to go to Logic's prefs/Audio and check CoreAudio...
It has been unchecked somehow...
Also.. as an aside.. Be careful not to create such large subject names in future when posting here.. They can cause issues with replying to posts in such threads.. due to a bug in the forum software.. so please keep them short and to the point...

Sorry if i wasn't more clear but was that response needed?No it wasn't needed, but I'm not the one asking for help so I have the luxury of not worrying too much about it. It's extremely frustrating trying to drag relevant information out of someone, and makes one less inclined to bother.
Anyways, there's still nothing in this thread that actually explicitly says "there is a file called VolcanoApp.java in the directory where I'm running javac from" and I really can't be bothered banging my head against the wall any longer. You've made a silly mistake, or a false assumption. We all do it from time to time. My advice is, take a break, go for a walk and re-visit this in a while. You'll probably spot the mistake right away.

Closed Activities not transported - How to get stuff into new track?

Hi, folks!
We encountered some problems with an SCA-export from ASM system leaving some not transported, but closed activities on DEV CONS behind.
How can we arrange to integrate the content of these closed activities, which don' t show in CMS any more, into a new track?
Regards,
Thomas

Hi, Pascal!
I meant the assembly system. The activities haven' t been transported, but seem to be closed in CMS.
To clear the situation a little more, let me explain what has happened: A colleague created a SCA, deployed it on a runtime system and found out that some screen elements, which were present on development runtime system, are missing.
We figured out that there are some actitivies haven' t been transported to assembly system and are yet closed and not available for transport in CMS.
Now, our two questions would be
1) will releasing and trasnporting dummy activity to assembly to force all changes reach SCA work?
2) will copying the source DC DTR workspace to destination workspace work? (we have problem not being able to delete folders in DTR as they are created by CMS)
Regards,
Thomas

"Bounce to new track" creates a mixdown 2/3 volume of the original

When I right click and bounce a track to a new track, the resulting Mixdown file shows as only about 2/3 the volume of the original. The original is -1, the Mixdown is -4. It also looks flat and compressed. I have no buses and the volume/pans are all at 0. If I right click and "export to file" I get the same result. Shouldn't the mixdown be identical to the original track?
I've checked all settings.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Dstdean and runaway,
Thanks for the tips. Export gives the same results, in fact, every way of creating a bounce, including bounce to new track, mixdown to track, bounce master to track, and export file all have the same results, -3db cut.
My session as has no effects racks, buses, volume or pan changes. Tech support tells me that this -3db cut is a standard thing and actually Protools does the same thing, except in protools you can disable it. So far tech support hasn't been able to help me (after several hours on the phone).
The thing is I can also create a new session and have the same problem. When I change the stereo panning parameter to logarithmic in a new session it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I have also deleted my ini settings and started from scratch, but the results are still unpredictable and baffling. One thing is predictable though....no matter what I do to my real session I cannot bounce my tracks to files without a -3db cut, no way no how, and believe me, my session is clean. I have also tried with other sessions in progress and the result is the same. The only time I have had a good result was once when I created a new session, and changed the stereo panning to log.. but I was able to do this only once, and haven't been able to repeat the good result.
I even tried panning and saving a stereo track then pasting one side into a new mono file, but this also has processing and the data is actually clipped when I do this, because of the way audition treats stereo panning on bounce. This is not an ideal solution.
It's wacky and given that many people now are working in multi studio scenarios and flying in tracks it is essential to be able to create pristine stem files. irg....@! I need to send my drum tracks out west asap! Very frustrating. Surely someone else out there must be having the same problem! Does anyone else out there ever bounce to a new track?
I appreciate the banter on this!!

How to put two mono tracks into the usual stereo view in Edit view of Audition 3 ?

Hi guys,
Previously I have had no issues simply using Adobe Audition 3 for simple stereo recording and editing of a stereo feed taken from a mixer... well nearly no issues.... :-)
Today, I'm having a bad day or else it's because I'm getting used to being retired.. :-) ......
Query : How do I put two mono tracks into the usual stereo view in Edit view so they both display correctly there?
Put simply I have two mono wav files. Let's call them Left_wav and Right_wav.
I cannot seem to get them imported into a new clean Edit view (Normal stereo track layout) so that Left_wav is on the top half and Right_wav is on the bottom half.
Whenever I try, I just get either Left_wav or Right_wav taking up the whole of the edit view. i.e. it just shows one track.
Can anyone familiar with Audition 3 kindly help? I'd appreciate a simple step by step... I just can't see where I've been going wrong, and it's driving me bananas :-).
Thanks

There are various ways to do this in Audition 3. here's one.
Open both mono files separately in Edit view. Then convert Left_wav to Stereo by going to Edit/Convert Sample Type and under Channels select Stereo with Left Mix at 100% and Right Mix at 0%. This will give you a new stereo file with Left_wav on the top channel. Next go to the Right_wav and copy to the clipboard using Edit/Copy. Return to your new stereo file and enable Edit Right channel only in Edit/Edit Channel/Edit Right Channel. Then make sure that the cursor is at start of the stereo file and Paste Right_wav into the bottom channel of the new stereo file. Finally Save As.

How to I get new tabs to open to the correct home page?

When I open new tabs they just go to a Google Search page, which is very frustrating, especially when I open a new tab and try to type in the URL bar but as soon as it finishes loading Google it blanks out what I typed in and goes to the Google site. In other words, "blank" new tabs do not open to the Favorites page or even my home page. They open to Google. How do I change that? In other words, how do I get new tabs to stop opening to Google and start opening to either my home page or the Favorites screen? Thanks!

You can modify the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page and set it to the desired page to open.

Creating New Track

Newbie question - been trying to create more audio instrument tracks, but everything I do to try to separate them from the original (Instrument 4) track changes that original track as well. Both the manual and Sitter's book say to just hold the new track's name and from the pop-up menu, pick a new instrument from the list. The only problem with that is that the pop-up menu ONLY SHOWS ME THE INSTRUMENTS CURRENTLY IN USE BY THE OTHER FOUR TRACKS. It doesn't show me all 128 instruments and let me pick. When I try to change the intrument of the new track using the Channel selection in the Object Paramater box (which DOES list all 128 instruments) it also changes the instrument in the original channel. So both the new and the old channel remain totally linked and anything I do in the new channe (volume, pan, etc.) is mirrored in the old channel.
How do I de-link a new channel from an old one? (Seems like a dumb default to assume the new channel takes on the instrument as the predecessor instead of just picking the next). And yes, I've also tried creating a new one by double-clicking the first empty slot at the bottom of the Arrange window and by selecting 'Track' - 'Create with Next Instrument'. No difference - still creates using the last instrument and only shows me the instruments in use when I try to pick a new one. Help?

this is the second post today on this question.
use create track with next instrument.
or create multiple if creating more than one new track.
also ... search previous question on the subject.
also ... combine manual with sitter's stuff. It's great. I love those videos. but you still gotta read the manual.
Best of luck

Creating new tracks (any kind)

I´m getting a bit frustrated here now. I can not find a simple quick way of creating a new track (object) in the arrane window. I know Logic is a very customizable DAW, but I would like an easier way. Like control clicking in the tracklist and then choose track/object type. I´m still a novice here, and I may have missed something important and obvious, but if you have to go into the environment everytime, or create templates, it´s too much. When Steinberg and MOTU have done it, why not Logic? It should be right up there! Maybe it is, and I´ve missed it. Can´t find it in the manual, though. Any of you seasoned users got a tip? I´ll be happy to eat some humble pie if I can stand corrected here

Hi
That was quick :o)
Ok:
If I have an instrument track with Stylus RMX on it, then try to use the mentioned procedure, what happens, is I get a copy of the RMX track. If I then remove RMX on the copy, it also disapears on the "original". And I didn´t want an instrument but an audio track. Where do I go wrong? I can´t find it in the manual.
I work with a lot of different projects and with different DAWs, Nuendo, Samplitude, DP5, Pyramix, Live, Acid, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses.

Problem while creating a new track

Hi,
When we create a new track, we get the following exception:
Unexpected error; inform your system administrator: com.sap.cms.util.exception.CMSUnexpectedException: com.tssap.dtr.client.lib.cms.DTR.connect(Ljava/lang/String;Lcom/tssap/dtr/client/lib/protocol/ISessionContext;)V
We have created a new product and a software component and defined the dependencies for the software component (SAP_BUILDT, SAP_JTECHS & SAP-JEE). In the CMS, we have done Update CMS. We are able to see the software component and have added the same in the 'Software Components for Development'. All the usage dependencies are clearly visible.
When we save the track, we get the above exception. Can any one of you please respond this query?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
We enocounted a similar problem once. For our situation it was a missing DTR url in the lanscape configurator. To check/fix this do the following:
1) login to CMS
2) click on the Landscape Configurator link
3) if not already selected, choose the track in the list of tracks on the left
4) click on the Track Data tab for the selected track
5) verify that the Design Time Repository URL is specified and correct (e.g. http://<server>:<port>/dtr
Save the configuration.
Hope this helps.
