How do you pick a specific midi controller to record in Logic?

How do I define a specific midi controller to use? I have been working with one controller for years (Yamaha Motif). I'm a guitarist and I just picked up a new midi guitar controller (Axon 50). When I boot up Logic with the Axon 50 turned on, Logic doesn't see midi note on and note off data. I have to open up the Axon 50 editor for the note on/off datat to come thru. Is there a place in Logic where I can actually tell it which midi controller to receive from? In Cubase 4 you can specify which controller to receive from on each track in the inspector. Where is this feature in Logic?

Logic will listen to all MIDI data coming in from all ports, with the exception that if you have defined a Logic-supported control surface o a particular port, that port data will be intercepted by the control surface handling, and not routed to the sequencer.
You can isolate individual ports in the environment by changing the routing of the Physical Input environment object, so check there is no routing handling on your physical input object.

    Make sure that the "Sync Music" option from the Music tab in your iTunes is checked but not the "Entire music library" underneath the "Entire music library" option you can select which parts of you iTunes library to sync with your iPhone.

  • Is there any iPhone midi controller that can control logic just by one usb

    is there any iPhone midi controller that can control logic just by one usb line to the mac?
    Free ones would be the best!
    Thanks!

    If you have a Mac Pro and an iPhone, surely you can afford a router? It's about the same price a a decent meal for two.

  • Is there any iPhone midi controller that can control logic just by USB?

    is there any iPhone midi controller that can control logic just by one usb insert to the mac?
    Free ones would be the best!
    Thanks!

    Although not USB, there are a couple of iPhone/Touch apps that can control the Mac using a wireless network. MobileMouse (free & paid versions) do a great job, as well as Logitech's TouchMouse. Both will allow you to use the touch screen to control the mouse, which essentially gives you the ability to do many things in Logic. I've used them, for example, to begin a recording, which frees me from being near the computer.

  • How do you get rid of 'empty' pre-roll time in logic pro 9?

    how do you get rid of the pre-roll time in logic pro 9?  
    My project's start time is 8-bars before any material, or tempos, or anything...  
    Can't move the start time back to ")" (zero)    STUCK!!  at -8
    The song now has 20 seconds of dead air time in a pre-roll.
    None of these worked or revealed anything...
    -tried making a new copy of song
    -looked into every track's file information looking for a spurious entry
    -tried deleting the time/space

    Hi
    Check for any Track Automation nodes in the "preroll'.
    CCT
    Edit
    You should note that generally negative (or zero) project start numbers should be avoided at all cost: there are many peculiar behaviour problems associated with them.

  • How to use a specific MIDI controller to control instruments loudness?

    Hi, I just started using Logic, so it's possible I will find the answer to this question by myself over time, but maybe somebody can point me to the answer right now...
    I want to control the loudness (volume) of a software instruments over time, for a given note, using a MIDI controller channel. The note velocity only controls the loudness of the attack.
    Of course this is not applicable for an instruments such as the piano, but it is quite important for string or wind instruments where you can attack a note very softly but keep playing louder on the same note.
    The MIDI controller to control that could be after touch. In my case, it would be CC2 (breath control), as I use a wind controller.
    My experiment so far is that Logic sees the value of CC2 correctly, but whatever its value, the loudness of the note sound never changes.
    I understand that the answer to that question might depend on the instrument under consideration. Then an example would be of great help.
    Many thanks.

    As it was suggested you can try CC11 or you can transform your existing CC2 to CC11. Patch a transformer between the Physical Input and the Sequencer Input in Click & Ports Environment layer and make the next settings in the transformer:
    Conditions
    Status=Control
    Data Byte 1 (= 2)
    Operations
    Data Byte 1 (Fix 11)
    It this scenario your incoming CC2 will be transformed into CC11 and you can control the Expression (CC11) of a software instrument if it responds to that controller at all ( some software instruments must be mapped previously to have such respond ). Note you will be able to control only the selected track this way.
    You can try to use the Controller Assignment dialog and learn CC2 to control the "level" parameter of an instrument or its channel strip level fader, gainer plugin (which can be inserted in the top plugin slot) etc as well.

  • How do you export a specific audio segment in timeline

    I recently tried to reduce noise from a specific clip by exporting a short segment of my audio to create a file I can use with audacity. I ended up exporting the entire audio segment of the project.
    How can I select a specific clip segment that is only a part of the video and export it to create a file I can then edit using audacity?
    I would like to avoid exporting the entire event clip from which that segment came. I have done considerable editing of the original video footage in the event and trying to figure out where that segment came from would require a considerable amount of time.
    Any help or guidance is appreciated.

    in fcpx 10.0.6, if you have a range selection, the export will be only that segment.
    Hold down the R key and click-drag a range selection, or use the playhead to mark In ('i' key) and Out ('o' key) points.
    Select Share > Export File
    In the dialog, select Settings
    For Format: Audio Only
    Audio File Format: I recommend AIFF, CAF or WAVE (depending on your target audio editor.) [AAC, AC3, and MP3 are "delivery" formats, not editing formats.]
    then hit Next and save it.
    I recommend setting a marker at the in point so you can easily line up the edited audio when you re-import it.

  • How do you know when your raid controller has gone bad?

    I fired up my xserve raid 14X400 with 2X512mb Raid Controllers and drives 1-7 on the left won't show up at all. I swapped the controllers and then drives 8-14 won't show up. I have been trying to update the firmware from 1.5 to the latest and keep getting an error with the upper controller. I can't find anywhere that you can buy a new controller. Anybody know what I should do? My apple warranty ended in June and I didn't update it so Apple isn't going to help. What should I do? Can you have the controller card itself serviced? Thanks for any help. Also, I'm hoping that my media is still good?

    Hi
    If you have swopped the controllers around and the problem follows the controller then that is a pretty good indication that something is not quite right with the controller. Obviously reseating - basically pulling out the affected controller, a good blast of air inside to remove and dust/grit that might possibly be stopping a good connection and pushing it back again - the controller to see if that makes a difference is one thing you should do. Swopping them over effectively does this anyway. What does the events log in RAID Admin say? There is usually some indication in the log if there has been a problem.
    Its an obvious question and possibly you may have forgotten it in the panic but when you purchased the XServe RAID did you not take up the spare parts kit option? If you did install the replacement controller. If you did not and in view of the fact you did not take out the extended warranty seems overly optimistic, your only recourse in my view is to remove the affected controller and send it to your nearest Apple Repair Specialist - or deal with Apple themselves. They should send you a replacement under their Global Service Exchange Program. Make sure you send the faulty part as well as knowing the XServe RAID’s Serial Number. They should send a 90 day warranty replacement within 2 days. If you are in the UK its going to be expensive (approx £350VATshipping). Actually its going to be expensive wherever you are.
    There is a possibility that one of the other guys knows a method of getting this going again and will hopefully post a suggestion soon. However the sooner you act on this the sooner you can get your RAID array back on line. I do hope you have a current and effective backup in place just in case. You should be doing this anyway.
    Hope this helps, Tony

  • Alesis Midi Controller Keyboard setup with Logic Pro 8

    Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me... I'm a complete newbie!
    Recently bought a Macbook with Logic Pro 8 and would like to get set up for some home recording. The keyboard I want to use as a midi controller is the Alesis QS6 which has been in the wardrobe for some time. I have a Midiman USB midi interface.
    When I connect it all up, I can't get it to make any sounds from Logic, only from the keyboard itself, which I don't want. A friend suggested taking out one of the midi cables so now I have only Midi out from the keyboard running into Midi in on the Midiman. When I play the keyboard the notes register on the Transport bar and I can even record them but I cannot hear anything.
    Can anyone tell me what settings I need to have on the Alesis? Should the Keyboard Mode be on Normal, CH Solo or Out 1,2,3...16? I read somewhere I need to turn General Midi off, does this sound right? Is it something to do with midi channels - I don't even know how to tell which midi channel is selected in Logic.
    If anyone has experience with using the QS6 with Logic I would love to hear from you!!!
    Thanks!

    Run the Audio/MIDI Setup utility. Is your keyboard/MIDI interface displayed in there?
    If not, OSX does not see your MIDI device. Install it's drivers if it has them. If it doesn't have any drivers, your MIDI config might have got hosed. What keyboard is it?
    Unplug and replug it, directly, don't use a hub. Does it show up in the AMS utility now? Try powering it for an adapter, not from USB.
    If you still get no joy, I'll give you some procedures to try...

  • Using a midi controller with Amplitube and Logic 9

    Hi all
    I'm stuck as helll at the moment can someone please help???
    I'm trying to use my Line 6 x3 live as a MIDI controller for amplitube (whilst this is being used as a VST plug-in) for Logic 9.
    Heres my setup.
    Line6 x3live connected by USB and midi IN and OUT to a Focusrite Saffire USB - connected by USB to my IMAC (27 inch standard spec) and running this on logic 9 with Amplitube as a VST.
    If any one can provide a step by step guide i'd be bloody grateful.
    Thanks

    Unfortunately there is no way to use the remaining knobs, sliders and buttons on your Axiom. My work around was to buy the Korg NanoKontrol. It is a cheap controller with knobs, buttons, sliders and transport controls that integrates perfectly with GB. There is a little plugin on the Korg site to DL and install to use with GB so you don't need to use the garageremote with your axiom.
    Cheers.

  • How do you new Mac Pro owners like your machine with Logic?

    Don't mean to be a PITA but I need to get this right before I drop three to five grand on a new set of music tools. I'm trying to decide between Mac Pro and iMac for use with Logic. Seems there are a lot of posts regarding glitches with the new Mac Pro and Logic, whereas the posts from people with older G4s and G5s seem to indicate they are running rock solid. So you new Mac Pro folks or anyone else, please weigh in. Is the new Mac Pro "glitch heavy" or is it just a matter of tweaking the system to where it runs smooth? In general, how do you new Mac Pro folks like the way it works with Logic?

    I'm mostly pleased with my MacPro 2.66. Almost no crashes with Logic, although I experience a few more bugs here and there than with my G4. Occasional CoreAudio errors, I have to restart CoreAudio if my external word clock is set to the wrong sample rate when I open a session, there seems to be a bug between high fader levels (above +4dB) and panning... little things like that.
    Then again, compared to my G4, the FireWire bus is screaming fast--with most sessions, I can run a buffer of 128 samples at 96k with my MOTU 828mkII, while my G4 would sometimes glitch at 96k with 512 samples. At 96k, 256 samples, my MacPro/828mkII rig is rock-solid... I informally tested it by recording 12 test tracks simultaneously for 20 minutes, with the CPU nearly maxed out (which was difficult to do--took a bunch of Space Designers and Ultrabeats)--absolutely zero clicks or pops.
    And of course, WAY more processing power than my G4.
    I'm assuming that MacPro compatibility is a fairly high priority for Apple these days, so hopefully the bugs will get worked out soon. And as things are, Logic is definitely usable on a MacPro--the bugs I encounter rarely slow down my work.
    So, far from perfect, but as far as new technology goes, I'd say Logic on the MacPro is above average.
    Good luck!

  • How do you xfer from cassette tapes and vinyl records to pc and/or zen x

    hello and greetings to all.
    I am new to this forum and have a zen xtra 60 gb. well I am asking for assistance on how i would xfer my cassette tapes and vinyl to my pc and then to my player. I have a std compact stereo system, cd and cassette. The only ports on the back of my stereo are one set of video/aux which connect my stereo to my turntable. I currently have a y cable 2 audio cords (red and white) for my stereo and then a line in port that can connect to my mp3 player. does that end go to the actual player or to my soundcard? Am i even able to xfer tapes/vinyl to my pc/mp3 with this setup or do i need something else to be able to do so. Any and any advice on this will be greatly appreciated. thanks a lot.
    dan

    You need a line out from whatever you want to record from, and you need to connect this to the line in on your souncard (if you have one).
    If you have a Creative soundcard you may well have some software with it than you can use for this. Creative Recorder (which is in the suite with the Audigy range) makes particularly light work of this.
    Once you have recorded the files you can edit them pretty easily (assuming they're saved in the WAV format) if required, then convert them to MP3.
    Let me know if you need more detail.

  • How do you turn third-party midi loops into Apple Loops?

    Does anyone know how to turn third-party midi loops into Apple Loops? I've got hundreds of short midi files that I purchased, and I would like to be able to use them in the loop browser of Logic Studio. I tried some of the obvious ways of doing this, like using Apple Loop Utility, but it doesn't seem to recognize .mid files. Seems like .mid files would be right up its alley, so maybe I'm doing something wrong...

    Yes, have the same problem but with wav loops. i have 75000 wav loops from third part and do not find how to "logicized" it. For the moment i can use them into a project but they are not adapting when i change the bpm of the projetc for exemple.

  • How do you use a specific program to open a specific file in java?

    I want to use java to create a program that users get to pick what programs to open a file with and then opens it. For example, the user wants to open a .txt file. We all know that many programs can open that- MSWord, Textpad, Notepad etc. What i want to do is automatically open the file the user chose in a program that he chose. If the user wanted MSWord to open the .txt then MSWord will startup and the user should see the file. Samething applies for other programs. Anyone know how to implement this in java? I know you can open executibles but these arent those types... Thanks!

    And then you still need - at least in Windows - register all of your files to be opened with your program so it can relay that call.
    Frankly, I think I'd hate your program, ahving to make a chioce every time I want to open a file... I mean, how often does it happen that you want to open a file with any other program than the one you usually use? And Windows still has the "Open with..." dialog as well, if I really want to pick something else.
