How to convert a software instrument recording to an audio recording? Logic pro X

Hey I'm having serious trouble converting a software instrument recording to an audio recording. I'm trying to record this drum beat, then convert it to an audio file so i can chop it up and sample it on the EXS24. could anyone possibly provide any helpful insight to my dilema? Thank you very much!

im sorry i should've clarified a little further. it is on the drum machine feature in Logic pro X. i want to sample the 808 kick so i can change the pitch of it in the exs24 but whenever i go to "bounce in place" this message pops up:
""Bounce Regions" in Place can only process regions on audio tracks and/or software instrument tracks. Click “OK” to deselect all regions on other tracks and continue."
do you have any answers to this specifically?

What must I do to play a software instrument from UltimateSoundBank with MIDI in Logic Pro?

What must I do to play a software instrument from UltimateSoundBank with MIDI in Logic Pro? I can´t find it in the Logic library.
I want to use the USB Instrument I have as a software instrument in Logic Pro 9.

Everyone reading your posts here is just another MacBook Pro user. We're all volunteers, not Apple employees. No one here can speak for Apple.
In my personal opinion, buying Apple products in a country where Apple has no stores and no corporate presence is a risk that the buyer takes knowingly. I don't think it's a wise risk, and I don't recommend that anyone take it. A small percentage of the products sold anywhere are going to have problems, and it makes more sense to buy an inferior product that can at least be serviced locally than to buy a superior product that may have to be sent thousands of miles for repair if anything ever goes wrong with it.

How to convert mp3 software instrument samples to format garageband can use

Hi and thanks in advance.
I'm using GB '08 on OSX 10.4.11 w/ a G4 MDD. ( Sorry folks, This is the setup that I have and cannot buy a new computer or software at this time)
I'm pretty new too DAW and all of this but want to compose music with traditional orchestra sounds as well as what GB offers.
I have found Muse Score and I can get some pretty good results for writing but I want to expand the software instrument voices that GB has.
I found http://www.philharmonia.co.uk/thesoundexchange/make_music/samples/library/
and they have some pretty good sounding software instruments for free, except that they are in mp3 format.
I did some reading and see that GB understands a different format for this. I put some of the sounds into the correct GB folder as a test and result is of course no go. I see that GB uses exs and cst files in addition to wav and aff files.
How do I convert mp3 software instrument samples to the formats garageband can use? Is there a way? What would I need to do this?
Thanks again..

The first step would probably be to convert the samples into AIFF files, that's what GB's sample files are in.
But so far that's only a collection of samples - what you need is a sampler file that tells the software which sample to trigger with which key (the .exs files in GB's instrument library).
Since your software is old, t works pretty well with soundfonts (the latest versions have problems), so you might try this software to create them:

P.S.: The softare costs $60, but you can create 10 instruments for free.

In Logic Pro 9, how many midi controlled software instruments do you get...?

In Logic Pro 9, how many midi controlled software instruments do you get and is there possibility to download more as it says 40 on the programs info on the Mac Store, as i intend to compose on it but with only 40 instruments it's not really worth it.
So i was just wondering whether it let you download more for free.
Thanks for reading

Yes: I too am interested in the software instruments available in Logic Pro: one has to be a bit wary of the jam packs because there don't seem to be many solo instruments included. But I looked at the Logic screen in an Apple store the other day, and it worked like GarageBand in
this respect: you created a new track choosing the software instrument option and a whole lot of instruments came
up in a column on the right: lots of solo wind instruments, plenty of keyboards and guitars of course and not very many solo strings, only one violin, in the world music subsection under Irish fiddle. Yehudi Menuhin
where are you when we need you?
What I've been trying to find out is which part of the purchase does this long list of software instruments arrive with, because it's basically the only reason
I'm interested - I get on fine with gb but it
Just hasn't got enough instruments, and as I say the jam packs don't seem
to resolve this ? Or do they? Could someone please help
me with this?

How do I convert a Track Stack into a Take Folder in Logic Pro X?

How do I convert a Track Stack into a Take Folder in Logic Pro X?
I mistakenly took 13 takes and put it in a Track Stack instead of a Take Folder. I'm afraid to lose the takes and I'm wondering how to convert this into a Take Folder so I can do a comp?
Thanks,
Marcel

Here is what you do:
Create a new Track and record something in Cycle Mode (Take Folder Record Mode enabled if you record MIDI) so it creates a Take Folder
Now select all the 13 Regions across the 13 Tracks and drag them onto the Take Folder.
The Regions have to be in the time range of the Take Folder (overlap at least one bar)
All the 13 Regions are now merged into a individual Regions of the Take Folder
Hope that helps

How do i use parallel compression for 4 drum tracks in Logic pro 7.2.3 Please

how do i use parallel compression for 4 drum tracks in Logic pro 7.2.3 Please. my version is 7.2.3 and my son did his drums on 4 tracks. 2 OH's 1 Kick and 1 Snare. Were confused because we cant figure out how to do parallel compression on the older logic version 7.2.3?

I can't remember when the Aux tracks became the new buss tracks, so I'll spell this out using busses.
The way I do it, is I assign all my drum tracks to a buss, say buss 1.
Then, on buss 2, I assign it's INPUT to buss 1.
So buss 1 (all the drums) are feeding into buss 2 simultaneously.
Put a compressor on buss 2, turn the fader down all the way, then as the track is playing, bring buss 2's fader up slowly, until you hear the effect you're after.
You could also do this using sends on the 4 drum tracks, set to feed the buss with the compressor on it.
I hope I haven't forgotten anything particular to that version of Logic. See if this helps...

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 convert a real instrument file into a software instrument loop?

You can't convert real instrument to software instrument.
But you can have your real instrument make into a
real instrument loop.
In edit chose add to loop library (translation may not be accurate I use GB in french)

How do I open software instrument interfaces like ES1, etc?

I am completely new to Logic. I just got Logic Pro X and even after browsing the manual, I can't figure out something that should be pretty simple: how do I open the special visual interfaces for the software instruments like ES1, Sculpture, etc.? I don't see these listed in my instruments library either. I'm just really confused and would really appreciate some help. Thanks!

Once you have created an Instrument track
Slecet the track...
Move your mouse pointer over the Instrument (or FX) slot in the track/channel inspector strip
You will see the slot changes to depict three different symbols in a row.
From Left to Right....
The first symbol is the On/Off button to turn a plugin on or off.
The second brings up the visual interface for that plugin
The third opens the Load Plugin Menu which you use to load in other plugins...
Here is a screenshot of the instrument slot and the symbols.. (Again, the symbols only appear when you move your mouse pointer over the slot.)
That's interesting to me, my "slots" don't "depict three symbols in a row" after having just created a SI track, only after loading them

How to Access Installed Software Instruments

Hi
I have 3 different software instruments installed, 'Crystal', 'Camel Space', and 'idrum'. The only thing is that I don't know how to access these instruments.
Thanks

If you click on the empty field below the I/O in the channel strip of a audio instrument track you should see the menu for inserting or selecting any instrument

Can't record software instrument track to an audio track

I'm frustrated at the moment. I'm sure this has worked before.
I have a project that contains external MIDI tracks, software instrument tracks and Garageband instrument tracks. All tracks play when I unmute them. The external ones play thru a Roland synth and audio comes back via ADAT thru my Firestudio interface.
I created an audio track for each MIDI track. I can record the output of each synth track as audio one at a time. But if I unmute one software instrument track, send it's output to channel 1 and 2, set the inputs of my record-enabled track to 1 and two I get no audio recorded. I know it's gotta be something simple that's wrong, but can't figger it out.

If you want to record an internal software instrument to audio you can just select the track and use the "export track as audio" command from the file menu. Or you can select the regions and use the bounce in place feature or solo the instrument in question and use the bounce command and import the resulting file. Logics INPUTs 1 and 2 are not the same as Logic's OUTPUTS 1 and 2. If they were you'd get a feedback loop. If you are careful and MUST do it this way, you can cable from outs 1&2 to inputs 1&2 but you must first disable the output the track you are recording on to to avoid feedback.

How do I add software instruments to garageband 4?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't seem to find where I go to add software instruments. I see references to Jampacks, but then see they are no longer available. What replaced them? Why did they discontinue them? I mainly want to add some jazz and acoustic instruments, and variations, to the limited choices in GB. Not so much interested in loops, althugh that could be fun too . I was under the impression that there are all kinds of instrument voices available. My old Yamaha keybord had plenty. Also, should I update to to GB11? Thanks for any input. -JW

all the JamPacks now come free as a digital download when you buy MainStage 2 from the Mac App Store for $30 (each JamPack used to cost $99)

How do you export a drum track to Music XML from Logic Pro

I have a song in Logic Pro with a compound drum track that consists of a Drummer subtract as well as a manually written drum track using the same kit (for specific fills and kicks) as well as a drum line with auxilliary percussion. I kinda figured there was no way to combine the subtracts, so I am OK exporting each to Music XML separately (although if someone knows how to combine, I am all ears). I created a new software instrument using the same drum kit as the Drummer track and options-dragged the Drummer track to the new software instrument to convert it. However, when I view the Score Editor window for ANY of the three drum tracks, it does not come up in drum notation, but in bass cleff. The Style is blank and I don't know how to change it to drums.
I want to export to MusicXML to give my drummer music, so I am exporting this to Musescore.
Does anybody know how to export drum tracks properly? I am using Logic Pro 10.0.7
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick response!
I got the Join part, but when I look at the Score view for the song below I don't get the characteristics editor your screenshot shows (see attachment one). However, I can pull this up if I select on the regions in the track I want and select Window -> Score Editor. However, under Style, I can select the pulldown with a bunch of pre-defined options, non-of which are "#Drums". How does one put #Drums into the Style field (see second attachment)?

How can I use my Dx7 as a MIDI controller for Logic Pro 9? I'm using MIDI/USB cable but Dx7 doesn't appear in the 'set-up' list, what am I doing wrong?

I'm using Logic Pro 9 - 9.1.8
MacBook Pro Retina OSX 10.9.3
DX7 2 FD connected to my laptop with a MIDI/USB cable
When I click the 'scan all models' search in the 'Control Surfaces Set Up' there is no Yamaha DX7 in the list so how can I make Logic 'see' the DX7?

As Colin pointed out, you have to look first in the Audio MIDI Setup. If your MIDI Device doesn't show up there, then Logic cannot see it either (unless you are using Logic Remote on your iPad to play over Wi-Fi).
I'm curious about the "MIDI/USB cable you mention. If the DX7 has a standard 5-pin DIN MIDI out jack, then you have to connect that to a MIDI Interface first that converts the MIDI signal to send it over the USB jack out. Please note that you would see the MIDI Interface in the Audio MIDI Setup app and not the DX7 itself. Also, in Logic you would see the MIDI Interface in the Environment as a valid MIDI input device.
Hope that helps

How to reverse audio in logic pro X? Other thread didnt help

Hello,
i am trying desperatly to reverse a cymbal sound in Logic Pro X but i cannot find how to do it. Can somebody help me please
I already activated the advanced options:
i followed avery step i found in other threads but it doesnt work. (audio editor, functions and then reverse) i also didnt find the "reverse" button under "functions".
Can somebody help me please? I am new to Logic..
Sorry for my bad english, i writing this from Belgium
Sincerly

That's a little odd !! Not quite sure why that wouldn't work… You have assigned your sound to the output track rather than an audio track, but that shouldn't stop it working.
On the other hand, I wouldn't have done it like that at all
I would select the midi track to convert and do a "Bounce in place".
With the default settings, Logic will create a new track with the bounce on it. You can manipulate this new bounce as you please
Have fun
