How to change key of a song recorded in Logic Express 8.0?

I'm learning how to use Logic Express 8.0 and have recorded a song using software instruments only. I recorded the song in the key of C. Is there a way I can use Logic to make the song play in D?

There are several ways to change the pitch of song.
The simpler is to open the project global properties and change the key there.
The second could be to select track by track and changing the transpose parameter into the left top inspector.
The third is to open each track into the piano roll editor, select all notes and move them up or down.

  • How to change key (or pitch) for recording

    Sorry if this has been answered before, but I couldn‘t find anything in a forum search.
    I have a midi keyboard and a motu ultralite interface. Unfortunately I can‘t play keyboards very well, so when I am recording in a certain key with my guitar (e.g. B minor) I‘d like to be able to play the keyboard parts in another (C minor, much simpler...).
    My keyboard (YAMAHA Clavinova) has a Transposer key but the interface (or garageband) doesn‘t react to it.
    When I change pitch in a midi track in GB it works, but only after recording. When I record I am hearing the original key.
    Does anybody know how I can work this out?
    (If anybody understands what I am saying, lol. English is not my first language)
    Thank you for any help
    Thomas

    I am one step further now.
    With the free program Midipipe, I am able to transpose the keys from the midi keyboard. The only problem is, as GB listens to all midichannels at once, I get both the original note and the transposed note. That is a nice effect if you use the octave (12-String-piano, anyone?) but no use otherwise.
    Midipipe has something called "hijacking a midi port" that should avoid this, but I can't get it to work.
    Has anyone here used that program and the hijacking function?
    Thank you for your efforts.....

  • How do you change your song made on Logic Express(Iso. file) into MP3 file?

    I've been meaning to put a song on a c.d or just to transfer it to other people, and it is required to be an MP3 file. Does anybody know how to change the original file of the song (Iso.) into an MP3 file?

    Ahhh, an easy one even I can handle. This is what is refered to in Logic-speak as a bounce (I would think export would be a better term). In the old days bouncing meant rerecording and premixing several tracks into another to free up more of a limited total number of tracks. How quaint! I remember those days, during the Lincoln administration if I recall correctly. Enough levity. Assuming that your mix is to your liking, go to the file menu and select bounce. You have a couple of choices in the dialog window, select mp3 for the destination choice. Also make sure your start and end postions are appropriate and select a save as title for your mp3 such as RTFM (just kidding). The realtime bounce mode allows you to listen to the mix as it's being exported to mp3 format. Once this is done you can find your new mp3 by selecting music in any finder window, and then logic>bounces. Another way to bounce is easily available from the mixer or arrange window on your output channel strip. There's a little "button" marked Bnce which opens up the bounce dialog box as well. I initially thought it was the Beyonce button but the manual cleared that up. Good luck with your mixdowns!

  • How To Change Key Figure Name

    Hi Gurus,
    Is it possible to change the name of a Key Figure in Demand Planning? For example, in DP, i have a Key Figure name 'Sales Forecast'. The 'Sales Forecast' currently appears in every Planning book it was set.
    Now, for alignment of understanding, I need to change the name from 'Sales Forecast' to 'Sales Demand' . Basically, i just need to change the text that appear in the Planning book and in the extracted BI reports.
    Logic of Key Figure will remain the same. Is this possible? How do I go about this? I only know of how to add a Key Figure but never thought of how to change the Key Figure name/description.
    Thanks in advance!
    Nap

    Hi,
    You can change it in 2 ways.
    1] Go to each Planning Book in Edit mode.
        In that go to a Tab called Key Figure Attributes.
        Select your Sales Forecast Key figure from the dropdown   against Key Figure.
       Then in Description click the radio button Free Text and give your new name which is Sales Demand.
    This you have to do for all the PB in which this KF is used.
    2] Go to RSA1 : Admin Workbench
    Under Modeling section go to InfoObject.
    Select your KF. Double Click on it. Or right click and go to Change mode.
    Then change the Long and Short Description of the KF as desired.
    Save & Activate the KF.
    This will change your KF description for all the PB in which you have used the same PA.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

    Hi
    To run RMX multi timbrally in stereo mode:
    Go to RMX in the environment. Change the MIDI channel of RMX to "all".
    Create a multi instrument (using the new menu). It's a good idea to rename the mulit to RMX Multi. Cable multi instrument icon to the RMX channel using arrow tool. (Chose "remove" if a dialogue box promots you to "Remove channels port setting?").
    Beginning on channel 8 move backwards and click 8 thru 1on the multi instrument using the Midi tool.
    Go back to the arrange window. You should see a track called "RMX Multi 1" (if you renamed the Multi in environment "RMX Multi").
    Create a new track for the remaining of the 8 Midi channels (if your Multi requires 8 channels). Also .. create an instrument tracks and assign it to RMX - that is your master RMX track where RMX is instansiated.
    You now have a master track where RMX is instansiated and one track for each of your 8 channels within RMX.
    You can play/place MIDI data in to each of the MIDI tracks - or drag and drop from RMX into any of these sub channels. You can also use automation on these. For any DSP use the master track.
    To run RMX as a multi:
    Essentially it's the same thing. Except in the mixer section of RMX assign track 2 to output B, track 3 to output C, etc ....
    Go to the environment and create a stereo aux track for each MIDI channel you need in your multi. In the input section of the aux strip assign as follows: for B, 3/4, for C 5/6, etc ... (A is 1/2 and is where you have your instance of RMX).
    The only advantage of multi mode is if you need discreet DSP on individual tracks.
    In Stereo multi timbral mode you can freeze tracks.
    Hope this helps.
    Let me know.
    Cheers

  • Increasing the Volume of a Garageband Recording in Logic Express 8

    I'm new to Logic Express, but I'd like to use it to increase the volume of a multi-track recording that I made in Garageband. (Of course, there may be a way to increase the volume of the recording IN Garageband; however, if so, I don't know how to go beyond the 6 db level that seems to be the max for each track.) Here's what I tried to do: I imported the mixed-down, AIFF audio file that I made in Garageband into Logic Express and then I pushed the master volume slider to the maximum. I then saved and exported the file from Logic Express as another AIFF file (with a different file name, of course), thinking that the new recording would be louder. It wasn't. Any idea what I might try next? Thanks in advance for any help.

    I've found an answer to my own question. I simply imported the recording that I made in Garageband into a new Garageband file and then turned up the volume. I'd still like to know how to do this in Logic Express, though, since I'd like to move to that more sophisticated program.

  • How can I route my audio interface inputs to Logic Express inputs?

    Hello,
    Logic Express can 12 inputs to record audio on.... fair enough.
    My MOTU Traveler, together with ADAT connected Mackie Onyx 800F have 16 inputs...
    How can I use the first 4 inputs (XLR) together with the last 8 input (ADAT)
    Logic only seems to count from 1 to 12!
    (After reading the manual, It seemed to be solved by making new Audio Input Objects in the Environment, but unfortunately these objects where removed from Logic Express)
    Does anybody have the solution?
    Thanks a lot.
    Greetings,
    Mark

    Hi Michael, thanks a lot!
    Unfortunately it didn't solve my problem yet. I tried
    the audio/midi utility and found that the inputs
    can't be turned off. Is there not a environment patch
    possible, that I can load that puts the inputs in the
    right order? I hope so!
    Greetz,
    Mark
    The Environment doesn't route audio; it routes MIDI. There are audio objects IN the Environment, but you can't shuttle audio around like that.
    You have to remember that LE is an entry-level piece of software. You might think Garageband is entry level, and I think it should be, but in reality, LE is VERY crippled. Don't get me wrong, I'm not ragging on Logic as a program; I think Logic is great. But Apple has made some poor choices with respect to the features of LP that get crippled in LE.
    Sorry to digress from your original topic, but I think this is a bigger issue. The difference in price between LP and LE is enormous. That difference should be due to the fact that LP has plugs and effects (and other fairly esoteric features, like surround mixing, that most people don't need), and that justifies the price difference. Remember, when Emagic sold Logic (pre-Logic Pro 6), those effects and instruments cost a LOT more than the difference between LP and LE. LP is really a steal for what you get. LE is a poor substitute.
    Seriously, LE is a lot less than just a lite version of LP; it's crippled by things like the 12 input/output thing (what is the point?), the useless Auxes, and numerous other little things that keep it from really competing with other 'lite' sequencers like Cubase SL or Audiodesk.
    Anyway, I think the answer to your question is, if you need to record more than 12 simultaneous tracks, or you need flexibility in accessing your hardware's inputs and outputs, you need a better program.
    Fortunately, the upgrade cost to LP isn't that much, nor is the crossgrade to Digital Performer...

  • How can I midi Roland TD-9 KX2 with Logic EXpress 9?

    Hello everyone,
    Here is my setup:
    I have the Roland TD-9 KX2 connected to M-Audio MIDI In & Out and Audio 1/4" In & Out, Then connected to Logic 9 thru USB on my MacBook Pro.
    I create a new track and select Audio and then I create another track and this time I choose External.
    When I hit record, the audio track shows waveform recorded but the External/MIDI does not.
    Note: When I'm recording, I can see the MIDI notes (look like little blocks), but when I stop recording, They disappear...
    Can someone please tell me how I can execute this or of if anyone has a tutorial that they can share link of it.
    Thanks in advance,

    I had a simular problem. Only I had Ver 9 and needed 9.1.4 to be compatable with Lion. I had installed Lion and didn't think I would have any problem with Apple apps. Not the case with Logic Express. Here is what I did.
    First: I removed all versions that were previously installed on my Mac Pro. Then using the latest (9.0) I reinstalled. Important. DO NOT TRY TO OPEN APP. Next: down load (free) version 9.1.4 and install. Once everything is closed and disks are removed. Start Logic Express 9.1.4 and guess what...if just works.
    I believe some of the residual files were residing in my library some place and I didn't see them. Before I reinstalled I was recieving the message that I didn't have a qualifing version of Logic Express. This is when I had two versions 9.0.0 and 9.0.1. Someone said to remove the older version, I didn and nothing.
    Do what I say above and you will be rewarded.
    Good Luck

  • Problems recording using Logic Express 9

    Hi everybody,
    I'm a new Mac user. I'm a musician and I recently started to use a home studio for small projects.
    Lately, I acquired some nice microphones to record a classical guitar and other acoustic instruments through Logic. However, something's going wrong and I can't make it work.
    Before I describe the problem, let me tell you what I use:
    - iMac (OS Lion 10.7)
    - Logic Express 9
    - m-audio Fast track ultra
    - Rode NT5 condenser microphones
    Problem:
    As stated before, I'm having trouble using my microphones. Logic just doesn't hear the signal. However, if I plug a guitar directly into the m-audio box andf then into Logic, I can record no problem. Same thing if I use an electric piano (Yamaha P-95) into the m-audio box then into Logic with the Midi sound bank, everything's fine! It all goes dead when I plug in the microphones. The weird thing is that I can hear and see the signal through the m-audio box using headphones. However, Logic doesn't even show me a sign of any activity. I thought it had something to do with the Phantom power, but no. I tried and nothing. My guess is that something needs to be activated in Logic but I just can't find it.
    Anybody with an idea?
    thanks
    CJ

    Hi,
    no worries, these are all good suggestions to check out.
    Actually, I did all of this already, but the problem was somewhere else....
    I finally found what it was. The m-audio has a software that has a board control and the "software returns" signal was off.
    Also, a good "restart" of my computer made things a bit easier.
    Thanks for your help!

  • How to do multi-instrument with EXS instrument in Logic Express

    Hello Logic Express Users,
    I wonder if someone can help me. I can set up multi-instruments with Battery 2, and Kontakt 2, but I am battling to set up a multi-instrument when I am using the EXS with Logic Express. How do I assign the outputs to different outputs so that I can hear different instruments through different aux channels.
    Or is it only possible with the EXS editor that comes with Logic Pro? Because if it is then it is weird why they make the EXS with Logic express a multi-instrument.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    If you want to save an instrument patch together with plugins and so on, you should save it as a channel strip.
    Use the channel strip menu at the top of the channel object. There is a defined directory for user channel strips, but you can create folders within it and organise your channel strip settings as you like.
    These settings will show up in the channel strip menu, and the media browser too.

  • Help. I cannot record into Logic express 8!!!!

    Sup people. I am having trouble recording in Logic 8 express. I have checked the setting of the computer and yes My audio interface (alesis multimix firewire) is set as the input and output device. I can record sound in to garage band. I can do a test and see the meters go up and down in the systems preference sound settings, but I can't record a **** thing from external audio. Can anyone who is using logic 8 help me and maybe give me somethings I haven't thought about? I'm about to pull my hair out cuz I just got logic 8 express and this program is great. Oh, and yes I set the audio in logic to software monitoring. Yes I pressed the R button to arm the track for recording. Yes I pressed the I for input monitoring. Anyways.....SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

    I assume you're hitting the round RECORD button in the Transport window, after arming the track, and not the arrow button? I've made THAT mistake too many times.
    I'm assuming you've selected audio tracks (not MIDI), if you're recording audio -- made that mistake a few times, too.
    I'm using the Alesis, too. I'll try to remember all my trial-and-error lessons and see if I come up with something else.
    A few things coming to me....I did need to reinstall the Alesis drivers. On first attempt, there were several glitches, until I did the re-install. And....as mentioned earlier....powering up with the Alesis is most important....and appropriate settings in the Audio/MIDI Setup utility....and consistent settings between that utility and Logic PREFERENCES & SETTINGS: e.g. 44.1khz--44.1khz, or 48-48, etc. Sorry if this is rudimentary, but they're all mistakes I've made at one time or another.

  • VST Recording with Logic Express

    hi
    im knew to making my own music with the computer but I have Battery 3 and Logic Express. Logic Express recognizes Battery 3 as a plug-in (as I have FXpansion VST to AU) but when I hit the record button and start hitting my keyboard (my LAPTOP keyboard), i can hear the drum kit sounds but nothing records. Please help.

    Hey Nathan,
    grab the pencil tool & write some midi notes,
    then them playback.
    Or choose step input keyboard.
    Ps: maybe you're using the computer keyboard to trigger sounds, but those are not recording midi information on the track to playback, like say GB?
    There's the only explanation for you to get sound while tapping but none playback.
    Do you have a midi keyboard?
    Keep cool, it's only natural, you're new to the program.
    keep me posted,
    regards,
    Jorge
