  • Anyone using Groove Agent 3 / Logic Pro 8 ?

    So far it seems that all I will be able to do is create external midi-files then import them back in which is tedious as **** when trying to create a dynamic drum track full of changes. Cutting and pasting these tracks seems to be difficult once they are imported. What I wanted were prerecorded drum tracks with realistic fills and changes I could cut and paste via midi data - so far its not working the way I hoped.
    Curious to see if anyone has any tips? Is there any hope or am I going to be banging my head against the wall creating drum tracks using GA3 w/ LP8?

    When used as a VST with Cubase, GA3 can write the MIDI data directly onto an instrument track as the machine is played, skipping the "create external MIDI file/import.
    What you need to look at are the automation capabilities.
    Every parameter of the GA series can be automated. If you map the song out and "play" GA3's buttons, Logic records your "performance".
    Fills, 1/2 Time, Pattern Change...etc are all recordable via automation.
    Affer you get the song mapped out and the automation/performance finished the track can then be bounced as audio or exported as MIDI for editing.

  • Groove Agent 2 (3rd party plugin) with Logic

    Hi, I'm attempting to use Steinberg Groove Agent 2 (cool virtual drumbox) with Logic 7.1.0. (I saw a friend using them together via laptop on a gig, and I never had trouble using Spectrasonics Stylus with Logic so I assumed this should also work; I hope I wasn't dumb to try.)
    GA2 required a Steinberg key, which is now authorized. Thanks to a thread here, I found preferences>Start Logic AU Manager and enabled the plugin. When I load GA2 into an Audio Instrument, it shows up onsceen and plays. So far so good.
    Midi Output is enabled on GA2; this is supposed to allow a midifile of any GA drum pattern to be recorded into Logic. However, when I select the GA track in Logic and hit record, GA plays and Logic's meter flashes but Logic does not record midi data. (Of course Logic can record midi from my keyboard, but not from this plugin.)
    1) What do I need to do to record midi data output from a plug-in, such as this GA2, in Logic?
    GA2 manual suggests turning on the SysEx filter in the sequencer when running GA2, so that Run and Stop commands aren't written into the Midi part. (The midi part isn't recording to Logic yet, but: )
    2) How do I turn on the SysEx filter on this Audio Instrument in Logic?
    When I hit play in the Logic song, the GA2 starts playing. However, when I hit stop (key command, or mouse on stop) both Logic and GA2 often keep playing. (Of course without the GA2, Logic works fine.) Other mouse functions such as clicking mute buttons on the GA2 don't work reliably either.
    3) Why would Logic or the plugin ignore the mouse or stop command? How do I need to change my setup?
    Thanks for any help. I've used Logic for ten years, but Stylus was the only third party plugin I'd used & it was flawless.

    I used to use GA2 on my PC (before I became a Mac user). Once I bought my Mac I got rid of my PC.
    But the disc I have for GA2 has both the PC and Mac version on it, so it was working on my PC, but not on my Mac.
    When I try to start it use it as a standalone on my Mac, it starts to load, then a message window appears and says: "No protection device is connected".
    I never had this problem when I used to use it on my PC.

  • Groove Agent 2, can it work with Logic Express 8?

    I have Logic Express 8, and Steinberg Groove Agent 2. I was able to install it, but when I open Logic Express 8, Groove Agent 2 is not in my list of instruments.
    When I installed Groove Agent 2, it did not ask me for my activation code, which I thought was strange.
    Groove Agent 2 is an AU.
    I have a White MacBook, 2.1 Intel, 4gigs RAM, and Leopard 10.5.8
    Thank you in advance

  • Compatibility issues with Groove Agent 3

    Hi everyone,
    I´ve recently acquired Groove Agent 3 in order to gain time laying drum tracks on demo songs. After running it as a VSTi under Logic Express 8 I realised the MIDI output function of GA3 was not working. I can hear the drum pattern, the meters move accordingly and I can play or pause GA3 directly from Logic but I cannot record the MIDI track.
    I've tried exporting MIDI with GA as a stand-alone and Rewire as well but didn´t work either.
    I´ve checked for support on Apple´s forum and found a couple of articles dating back 2005 and 2007. Does anyone know if the compatibility between GA and Logic has been updated?
    The MIDI output is vital for me since it enables to edit the drum track!
    If the compatibility issues are still unsolved does anyone know a way around?
    Thanks in advance
    Antoine D.

    Hi Antoine,
    GA3 is not the easiest VSTi/plugin to figure out. Regarding recording MIDI grooves live to host, Steinberg admits that they can't guarantee that this will work in anything other than Cubase. You can play and record the drum kits manually via your keyboard, but if you try to record the grooves in LE8 all you get are the "controller notes" which simply trigger the grooves and do not display individual notes that you can edit.
    However, I am able to successfully export grooves to MIDI files in LE8. You probably already know that before you begin recording you go to Edit/Setup in GA3 and set GA MIDI Output to "Record To File." The really important thing to remember is that after you stop recording you need to go back to GA and turn the MIDI Output off. This is what tells GA3 to create a MIDI file and save it to your desktop.
    Finally, admittedly a bit convoluted, you need to drag & drop this MIDI file onto your track. You will then have all your individual editable notes.
    I hope this helps.

  • Logic 8 and Groove Agent 3 - how the **** do they work?

    I feel a real idiot writing this. Please bear with me.
    I first purchased Groove Agent 1 when I was using Cubase 4 on a Pismo Powerbook. Everything was simple straight-forward and relatively intuitive. Then I bought an Intel iMac, Logic 7 and Groove Agent 2 - which turned out to be incompatible with Intel Macs. Two or three years later Steinberg finally brought out Groove Agent 3 so I paid for it and upgraded to Logic Studio 8.
    I have had it for about a year and have STILL not worked out how to get Groove Agent to even show up, let alone work.
    Can anyone tell me if Groove Agent is a plugin or a software instrument? It doesn't show up as a proper option anywhere. It shows up and is selectable as an INPUT on a midi track but nothing ever happens.
    I have spent days falling asleep over the Apple Logic User's Manual and cannot find out how to select Groove Agent as an instrument or as an output or as ANYTHING that will produce drums sounds off a midi track!

    Don't worry - I have found the answer!
    Simply go to the AU manager in Logic Express 8 and revalidate Groove Agent 3.0.2.14. It takes a while, and for a long time it seems like it's going nowhere, but it works in the end!

  • Can anyone tell me how to get groove agent 2 installed in Logic Pro 7?

    I've only just started using Logic Pro but I can't seem to get Groove Agent working. It works in stand alone mode but I can't get it to work as an instrument. If anyone can help it would be muchh appreciated.
    Thanks
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Well according to your signature you have the Macbook and as fas as I know none of the Steinberg stuff is yet Universal so it appears you can't have it working just yet. Otherwise I would check that you have installed also the AU version which is what Logic looks for but in your case it doesn't help.

  • Recording drum tracks in Logic using Groove Agent 2 or 3

    I'm trying to record some drum tracks using Grove Agent 3. I can hear the drums and see the meter jumping but there is no recording. Help please

    Logic cannot record Groove Agrnt's MIDI output, I can't remember whether it's
    AUi or Logic that isn't developed to that point yet. I know it's in the AUi spec
    but don't think Logic has that capability.
    If it's audio you want to record, solo and "Bounce" the Groove Agent instrument
    track. That will get you an audio recording. Cubase makes it a bit easier as it
    will record Groove Agent's MIDI output for editing purposes before
    bouncing/exporting.

  • GROOVE AGENT 3

    Is anyone using this with Logic Express and OSX 10.6.6.I find it is ok stand alone and as VST in Ableton Live but it always crashes in Logic

    Yes, I just got GA3 installed, after removing propellerhead software folder from app support in library and other install procedures, and got it running in logic. I decided to leave logic and do stand alone to learn it (groove agent 3), then when returning to logic, I tried to load it and it keeps crashing.

  • The problems with Logic (as I see them)

    Hello Everyone,
    Please keep in mind that I am writing this with the intention of expressing my frustrations, and what I feel would make Logic a better program. I realize not everyone will agree with the importance of what I say, but I am a firm believer of HAVING THE OPTIONS. Let the users choose what works for them and how they can best accomplish the tasks that they need to with their individual workflow.
    That being said, here is my list of Logic's faults and why I often call Logic "Illogic".
    General:
    * Logic should have a feature to automatically save your song every X number of minutes. Final Cut Pro does this, why doesn't Logic? It should prompt you "Logic can automatically save your project if you save it" (assuming the current file is 'autoload') to remind users that they should create a project name and save their work.
    * There should be a preference option for all windows to open as 'float'. Once upon a time holding option while double clicking parts would open them as a float (though having to hold down option every time in my opinion is an inconvenience, because I personally ALWAYS want my windows open as a float), however.. now in 7.2 that does not seem to work anymore. So, theoretically after you set your prefence to 'always float', then the when you hold option or control and click on a particular window, it will bring that window to the foreground...
    * The loop region at the top of the screen is larger than the time-line ruler tab. This is the #1 annoying thing about logic. so many times, I click on an area of the ruler tab to start playing at a specific section.. and somehow I ACCIDENTALLY click on the loop area... If I could ask for ANYTHING it would be that there is an option to disable LOOPING turning on and off from clicking up there. My 2nd request would be that the ruler tab be re-sizeable so that it can be larger than the loop area. This is especially the case for the matrix window where it default opens up to a sizing where the actual time line is so tiny, and the loop region is HUGE.... Every time I open a matrix window I have to resize this and again the loop area is 2x as big as the timeline area, so I end up wasting screen space just to avoid the annoying loop feature being trued on. My suggestion is, require that the loop button on the transport be the only way to turn on the loop feature (other than key commands), and only when it's turned on can loop points to be set. Why is the loop area so big anyway?!?!
    * Logic should offer a TALK BACK MIC button which will utilize the built-in apple microphone or iSight microphone and allow that to be sent to the audio interface. This would be an extremely useful feature for studio recording setups.
    * Starting logic takes approximately 5 minutes for me. It says "scanning exs24 instruments" for the majority of the time, and I admit my sample library is huge. however, my sample library has not changed in over a year. Why does logic have to continuously scan it??? Can it not make a reference of how many files, compare and if its larger-- then scan???
    Song Loading:
    * When audio files are not found during loading a song, it asks you the first time what you want to do "search", "manual", and "skip"... if you click "skip", and then it finds another missing file, it no longer presents you with the "SKIP" option.. but forces you to either search or skip all.. Let's say you have a project that used 5 audio files that are all missing because you had them on a different hard drive, but have copied the data somewhere else. The first two files it asks for you don't need.. but you know where the 3rd file is.. So your plan is to skip the first two files and then click manually for the 3rd.. but oh.. YOU CAN'T DO THAT! You have to find your first 2 files if you want to even have the option to locate your 3rd file... Unless you are planning to locate the files within the audio window-- but still, Logic should not be so unfriendly.
    Further, If you choose "manual", and what you're looking for isn't where you thought it was-- You realize you actually want to search for it.. So you click cancel and guess what.. It assumes you want to skip it, and so you either have to reload your project again, or deal with this in the audio window. Bottom line is this window should always have "Search", "Manual", "Skip", and "Skip All".
    * When you open another project, Logic DUMPS all of the audio instrument data in memory. This is one of the worst things about logic. If you are working between multiple files-- such as when scoring a film, and you are using different files for different cues, then this becomes a complete nightmare and a waste of your time. Logic should be assessing "What instruments are in common between these two projects"... And utilizing all audio instruments to the best of the machine's memory capacity. There is no reason for Logic to behave like this.. I've had to revert back to previous versions of the same song because some data was different, and I am just trying to visually compare various settings one from the other.. Just clicking from one project's window to the other requires me to have to wait 3-4 minutes while Logic loads all these audio instruments (WHICH ARE IDENTICAL IN BOTH PROJECTS BY THE WAY!!!).. This is just incredibly dumb, and creatively stifling.
    * BUG * -- Mind you, if you have two projects open, and you close one.. Logic begins loading all the audio instruments of the remaining project.. If you close that project as it's loading audio instruments, Logic will crash.
    Matrix Stuff:
    * BUG * If you have a part with lots of notes, and you begin to make a selection and scroll horizontally through all the content until then entire part is covered in the selection... After you release the mouse button and make this selection, quite often many random notes are unselected. This can be demonstrated by watching the following quicktime move:
    http://www.collinatorstudios.com/video/logicbug.mov
    * When you select a single note in the matrix window, it sounds.. This is a GREAT feature... However, when you make a selection of multiple of notes, they all sound at the same time.. This is just plain dumb. It once blew up my speakers... There is NO reason why a multiple selection would need to sound.. It's just dumb.. bad for your speakers, bad for your ears. The rule should be, if selection box = yes, then sound = no... else, sound = yes.
    * When viewing the matrix window while recording, all note events disappear until after recording stops. This is highly annoying (and illogical) as it causes confusion if you are relying on watching the note events in that part to know where you are supposed to come in.
    * The grid cannot be set to divisions other than 2 or 3. Musicians use 5 and 7!!! And also, can logic please offer an option to display the grid as NOTE symbols... It is much more musician friendly to see a 16th note with a 3 over it than "24". 24 means nothing to me as a musician.
    * Quantizing should allow custom input for tuplets.. So that users can quantize odd figures such as 13:4 for example.
    * If you move the song locator to a specific time location in the arrange window, and then double click a part to open it in the matrix window, the window is not opened to the locator's position. Thus causing annoyance and confusion as far as what the user is even looking at.
    * During horizontal scrolling of the window, the locator temporarily disappears, making it difficult to find where the locator is-- which usually is a marker for us to know what we are trying to find-- ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU OPEN A WINDOW AND IT'S NOT EVEN DISPLAYING THE SONG LOCATOR'S POSITION!!!
    * If you have two parts on the same arrange track, adjacent to each other and you enter the matrix window of the first part.. (assuming the link/chain icon is lit) When you scroll to the end of the note data, logic automatically takes you to the next part... The problem with this as it is, is that it does not take you to the FIRST note event of the text part, but rather continues to align the song locater with where ever it previously was (so you end up viewing somewhere further down in the next part).. To clarify, say you have a part what begins at MM-7 and ends at MM-14, the 2nd part begins at MM-15 and ends at MM-22.. If you begin scrolling the song locator past measure 15, then suddenly you see measure 22. When you really should be seeing measure 15. This is confusing and weird.
    * Every time you enter the matrix window of a part, the chain/link button is on. For me, this is incredibly annoying. There should be a way to set this so that the button's default is OFF...
    * When you move the mouse around the matrix window, whatever pitch corresponds to the vertical location of the mouse--- that particular key of the piano keyboard on the left side of the window should highlight so you could clearly see what note you are hovering over.. Logic tries to help with this by offering things like contrast options for C D E, but this clearly would be much more helpful.
    * With the velocity tool you can (MOST OFTEN ON ACCIDENT) double click on empty space in the window and cause all note events in all parts to appear on the screen-- Yet once you do this, you can't double click on a particular part's note to only display that part again. You have to switch to the arrow tool to do this. This is inconsistent and ILLOGICAL...
    ON A SIDE NOTE: PLEASE ENABLE A FUNCTION TO DISABLE THIS "ALL NOTES OF ALL PARTS APPEAR" when double clicking on empty space feature! I want NOTHING to happen when I double click within the matrix window... Make it a button within the window or just an option in the drop down menu only. * BY THE WAY * When you DO double click the background of the matrix window and multiple parts appear.. If you move notes of one part to match it up with other, it is incredibly slow. there is a 1-2 second pause each time you move a note move.. My g5 fan goes on each time I do this.. I'm sorry, there shouldn't be anything too CPU intensive to accomplish this simple task!!! I am only viewing 2 parts at the same time and it's slowing down my cpu...
    * Occasionally when I adjust note lengths, I accidentally double click on an actual note.. This opens the event list editor, and there is an intermittent bug where this note sounds-- and for some reason when the event list opens, the note sounds on top of itself a million times, so the result is a super loud flanged note which again, almost blows up my speakers and hurts my ears... PERSONALLY, I would like an option that DISABLES the note event list from opening by double clicking. Preferences currently has "double clicking a midi region opens: <selectable>"--- why not also have "double clicking a NOTE in matrix window does: <selectable>"-- and please allow "DO NOTHING" to be one of the options.
    * Why does the finger tool only change the end position of the note event??? Should this not be replaced with the bracket tool which appears automatically when using the arrow tool on closely zoomed in notes? This finger tool seems like an outdated old logic feature which has been replaced and improved upon. What would be nice is to have this bracket tool where we can be assured we are altering note start and end positions without moving things.
    * In the hyper-draw >> note velocity section--- This is highly annoying to work with... It's far from user friendly. first of all, to move a note's velocity position, you have to click on the "ball".. if you click on the line, it does nothing.. Because the ball is so small to begin with, quite often the user is going to miss the ball and somehow begin to "START LINE"-- Which is weird because it's activated by holding the mouse button down briefly. There really should be a "line tool" for this, because "START LINE" is too easily accidentally activated-- this is frustrating for the user. Most important though, these 'velocity markings' should be adjustable by clicking on the line as well-- not just the ball.. there should be a 2-3% area around each ball/line which logic will recognize as part of the ball/line so that it can easily be moved. I also feel that there should be some specific features for this section, such as a way to select multiple note velocities and apply a random pattern to them, or apply a logarithmic curve to the line tool. Yes, you can accomplish this stuff somewhat with the transform tool-- but this way would be more user friendly, and allow a lot more creative flow.
    Event list/Tempo list:
    * When one event is selected, by moving down X number, holding shift+clicking SHOULD select all events between those two points. However, the shift key for some reason acts as the OPTION key does in the finder-- (meaning it will only add one additional selection at a time).. This is highly inconsistent with the actual behavior of a Mac... Open a finder window and hold shift and click on items that are not vertically next to each other and a group is selected... Now do it in logic, and it causes GREAT frustration and annoyance. What happens if you have a million note events that you want to erase? You have to go page by page and click with shift on each one?? Or drag a selection and wait for logic to scroll you to where you want to go?????????? No thanks.
    Arrange stuff:
    * "REGIONAL CONTENT" (meaning the visual representation of note events) does not accurately depict the event data as note lengths cannot be visually identified. Everything shows up as a generic quarter note... My #1 suggestion is that regional content should be customizable so that you can view it in a miniature matrix data style. The biggest problem for me is that I cannot see where my notes end-- I can only see where they start, this makes it very difficult to identify what I am looking at.
    * Track automation data should only be inputable by the pencil tool. I cannot mention how many times automation data has accidentally altered when using the arrow tool. The pencil tool should allow you to raise and lower the lines reflecting automation data... What is the point using the pencil tool for automation if it's only function is to create "points" yet you can also create points with the arrow tool..??? Pencil tool should act as the arrow tool does in the sense that it raises or lowers automation data.
    * Recording preferences do not offer the option to automatically merge new part with existing part when a region is NOT selected. How annoying is it to have to select a part every time you want to record something just so it will be included in that original part!
    * Ruler at the top of the screen should also give an option for tuplets. 5, 7, etc.
    * When in record mode, if you click on the ruler to another time position, all audio instruments cut out and it takes approximately 3-4 seconds before tracks begin playing audio. This becomes very annoying if you are trying to do a pick up and want to just start 1 measure before hand.
    * There should be a way to EASILY (without having to cable two tracks together in the environment) temporarily link multiple tracks together so that automation data will be duplicated. So theoretically you can link 3-4 tracks together, and by adding automation data to one, you are adding it to all 4.
    * If a part is soloed, and you hit record. The part stops being soloed and you can no longer hear it. This makes it impossible to record a pick up on a soloed track unless it's locked, but it shouldn't need to be locked.
    * When you are zoomed in tightly, and you are trying to align notes within two parts on different tracks (meaning using the PSEUDO NOTATION DATA that appears in the part to align), there needs to be a VERTICAL line that snaps to the note closest to the mouse cursor. When trying to do this in parts that are a far vertical distance apart, it becomes VERY difficult to eye this alignment. Logic does this with automation data.. but for some reason they left it out for actual part alignment...
    * There should be a way to force the downbeat of a measure to occur at any given moment... What I mean by this, is composing for film is an absolute PAIN in Logic. Scenes, last for odd amounts of time, and Logic's reference manual claims that you can solve this by using various tempo tricks, however it is ineffective for the most part. What Logic needs is the ability where you can click on a drop down menu item within the arrange window and FORCE that where ever the song locator is, the rest of the measure is eliminated and a new measure downbeat occurs right there. This will allow you to always have new scenes on the downbeat of a measure without having to mess with your tempo and meter.
    Hyper Edit Window:
    * I can't even begin to comment on this... The hyper edit window is one of the worst things I have ever seen in a music/audio program. It is a horrible interface, you can't get it to do anything correctly without messing everything up. This thing needs a complete overhaul... I mean, just try to create a simple crescendo with note velocity and it will take you all night.. Try to add pitch bend data, and it adds note velocity data as well.. It's a total nightmare, and I would love to hear someone's practical application of this window.
    Score Window:
    * The method that the song position locator moves along with the notation is very strange. It is not at all how a person's eyes function when reading music. A much more logical approach to this would be for a transparent colored block of some type to highlight an entire measure, and each note head will glow as it sounds. The current way is so strange, it speeds up and slows down-- makes absolutely no sense, and it is more disruptive than anything.
    * When the Hyper Draw > note velocity area is exposed, if you use the velocity tool to increase/decrease a particular note's volume, the data in the hyper draw window does not update in real-time as you use the velocity tool. This behavior is inconsistent with the matrix > hyper draw's note velocity section-- where as in that area, the velocity ball/lines do update in realtime.
    EXS24:
    * when you are in many levels of subdirectories and you are auditioning instruments, it becomes very time consuming and annoying to have to continually trace through all the subdirectory paths. There should be a feature directly under the load instrument window that takes you to the subdirectory of the current instrument.
    * Seems when SONG SETTING > MIDI > "chase" is turned on... When starting sequences using audio instruments, (I am using a harp sample within the exs24), there is a latency hiccup upon starting, which is very disruptive when trying to listen to a short isolated moment in a composition. And I do want to chase note events in general-- but this present situation makes it difficult for me to work. I would suggest that you can specify tracks to exclude chasing.. Or fix the latency hiccup issue.
    Thank you.

    this is excellent patrick. can you number your points so that the thread can be discussed?
    1. yes
    2. ok
    3. great idea
    4. even better idea. you could set something up with aggreagate device i suppose but it would be better to have the feature to hand.
    5. you need to look into your project manager prefs. scan the paths and the links to the audio files will be saved meaning they will load up in a fraction of the time.
    6. yes this is nuts. you can skip all and sort it out with PM but then you shouldn't have to.
    7. this exists already. perhaps it ought to be a default but you need to set your esx prefs to 'keep common samples in memeory when switching songs'. then it will do just as you wish it to. you can also use the au lab in the devlopers kit which will allow you to load in au units etc seperately from logic, which logic can then access. this is a good way of getting around the 4 GB memory limit with logic too.
    8. ok, don't know about this bug.
    9. yep happens here too.
    10. doesn't worry me this one. you can turn off midi out.
    11. yes this is silly.
    12. well, i think this is something we can get used to. i am a musician and i am used to seeing '24'.
    13. you can already set up groove templates to allow for quantizing irrational tuplets. i do it all the time. i would like to see step input for irrational tuplets though.
    14. yes this is silly. the button for the KC 'content catch' is getting very worn out.
    15. ok.
    16. not sure i understand this one.
    17. yes this drives me nuts too. i have to lock screensets to get this to stay off.
    18. you can use KCs for 'go into/out of sequence' - but yeah.
    19. ok
    20. there are a couple of features that use old technology that cause hangs and poor performance. score is a good example of that. maybe the matrix is too. the score is being updated we assume with newer technology maybe the matrix will too.
    21. there are probably better ways of adjusting velocity than using matrix or hperdraw velocity. have you tried holding control-option and click dragging a note in score?
    22. as i pointed out in 20, this is an old feature. you could change things to be consistent with modern macs and annoy long term users such as myself, or leave them and let them be inconsistent to confuse newbies. i think depending on what it is we oldies could upgrade our work habits.
    23. this one doesn't worry me so much.
    24. good point (no pun intended).
    25. well, i find the opposite - that merging new parts to objects i have accidentally selected to be annoying. perhaps more detailed prefs?
    26. yep.
    27. this will be down to your audio settings. you can improve this lag but it will be dependant on the capabilities of your system.
    28. i don't know why this feature doesn't work in logic. it is supposed to have ti already and i just don't understand why it doesn't. maybe it will be fixed in the next upgrade.
    29. agreed.
    30. ok - i have other work flows for this but it would be nice.
    31. i don't agree that logic is a pain to score with to film, i do it nearly everyday. but you are discribing an interesting feature which might be worth discussing more. i think you might find yourself getting alarming and unmiscal results doing this that will end up having to be sorted out the conventional way. but its a good idea.
    32. oh yes.
    33. yeah - this could be improved.
    34. ok, well i wouldn't go about it this way, but yeah there is generally sticky spots with regards to updating of information al around logic.
    25. very very good idea.
    26. there are lots of problems with the chase function. very annoying. i certainly agree with this.
    in general, some of these could well be done as their own threads. some of the missing functionality may exist. if you can confirm a bug then you are on stronger ground when you submit feedback. but this list is full of fantastic ideas.

  • Best drum loops for use with Logic? Ease of use, usability, etc.

    Hi,
    I have BFD2 but find it slow to load and sometimes clumsy auditioning loops within Logic. I love the Apple Loops library but I wondered if people are importing MIDI drum files for use with Logic. Do all drum files use the same MIDI mapping? If I drop a BFD2 loop into a Logic drum virtual instrument will it work? I bought a few packs from Groove Monkee but have yet to use them with Logic. I only use them within BFD2.
    I'm basically looking for a seamless way to stay within Logic to improve my workflow. It's taken me days sometimes to get a drum track right by going back and forth with BFD2. Is there a concept I'm missing that would make it easier?
    Thanks

  • Groove Agent 2 as plug in

    Hi all. Have installed GA2 on my imac and was hoping to use it as a plug in within garageband. I have checked and can confirm the .component file is in the 'plug in' folder. I have restarted the mac but still no luck - i can see all my other plug ins (ezdrummer etc) but still no GA. I have no idea what else to do and there is literally nothing about this topic on the Steinberg forums. please help (again).
    many many thanks. Zab

    I think the problem is that the GA2 plug-in is PowerPC only. The standalone may work but the current versions of GB and Logic will not recognize the plug-in.
    Just to confirm, I have both Groove Agents 2 & 3 loaded on my iMac, and GB and Logic Express 9 will both recognize GA3 (which is Universal Binary) but not GA2. However, both GA2 & GA3 work as standalones.

    Hi Tim,
    I have both GA2 and GA3 on my iMac (10.5.6) and can tell you that GA3 functions in LE8, but GA2 is ppc, not universal, and it is not recognized by Logic.

  • Garageband & Groove Agent 2 help!!

    I need help using Groove Agent 2 with Garageband..Is this possible?? I wanna use beats from GA2 in GB. How do I do This? Please Help

    I can't find what you told me, about the DLS and this AU Generator and AU Instruments in the Info panel
    There is only the Keyboard sensitivity slider.
    Two things to try:
    Check, if you have the Audio Units enabled in GarageBand 10.0.x 's Preferences > Audio tab:
    Check, if your "Smart Controls" panel is large enough to show all items.  You may need to enlarge it by dragging the dividing line between the Smart Controls and the track area upward.  Or try to scroll the Info pane, even if there are no visible scrollbars.
    You may want to change the settings in Mavericks' System Preferences to always show the scrollbars. This way you will be able to tell, if panes in GarageBand are completely visible or need to be enlarged or scrolled.

  • Groove Agent 2 and Audition are driving me nuts!

    Can someone please help me with this? Believe me- I've tried everythign I can think of, including reading the Groove Agent Manual.
    I am simply trying to run Groove Agent 2, from Audition 3, and record the beats that come out of it. I tried inserting a midi track, using the sequencer and loading it as a vst. I also tried using rewire _ I enabled rewire and selecting the Groove Agent 2 box, and then said launch the application. This created a track in the multi tracker (at leats it seemed to have colored a track), but it did not actually launch groove agent.
    Help. I've tried so many things, i'm all mixed up now
    Thank-you
    MF

    You do know that all those tabs in the Viewer can be pulled off into their own separate windows, don't you? Just put the mouse cursor on a tab, hold down the mouse button, and drag the tab off to one side where it will stand alone in its own window. When you click that window closed, it will once again become a tab on the Viewer.
    Thus, for example, you can double-click a clip on the Timeline up into the Viewer window, and then drag the Motion tab off the Viewer window so that it becomes its own window. Then whatever you do in the Motion tab's window, you can watch to see how it affects the video in the Video tab.
    A big monitor, or two of them, are helpful when you get a bunch of these windows open.
