How To: Make Beats in LOGIC/Soundtrack Pro - sample is LOOP Adrenaline Loop

1) What is the best way to make a loops (similar) to the loop e.g. that comes with Logic, Soundtrack Pro that is in the category Rythmatic (Adrenaline Electronic Long (TITLE)), I have used ableton and SX, Nuendo, Acid....just trying to find the easiest way -not knowing the way to work quickly is a bit frustrating....
2) What key command in logic when double clicked (or key command) will open the aiff file in Sound Track and after editing put back into Logic?
3) Are there any good books on Logic 8 or on-line video training available yet?
4) Due to me not having enough space on MBP, I did not install orchestral jam pack - is this why the templates for ORCHESTRAL DO NOT show up in templates? If so, how do I repair.
5) I forget ? 5 LOL.

Anyone?
Thanks.

  • How to fix camcorder audio in Soundtrack Pro

    Hi all,
    I just finished editing my short film in Final Cut Pro. The footage was awesome, however, the audio was horrible. I shot this footage using Panasonic PV-GS320, a pretty descent 3CCD camera. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any external mic output, which makes it flaw.
    My question is: is it possible to "fix" this problem using Soundtrack Pro? To fix meaning to change it from a typical, cheap camcorder audio to a professional boom microphone (louder, clearer, and better).
    The sound from this camera isn't that bad, actually (because although it doesn't come with any external microphone output, it does have "zoom microphone" -- whatever that means), BUT if you were a sound artist/ filmmaker/ college film instructor, you would know that my project wasn't done using an external microphone -- thus you would think that it's just a typical short movie that will end up on Youtube -- and you wouldn't give me a good grade for it.
    SO is it possible to make some changes in Soundtrack Pro? I would really, really appreciate it if you guys could help me with this problem.
    Thanks very much!

    Hi Joe,
    It is possible - within reason - to undertake some cleaning up of audio within STP. I am in the middle of doing this myself.
    Take a look at this great article that explains the round trip between FCP and STP plus the various tools on offer and what they can do: http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/soundtrack_pro_newspencer.html
    Best of luck, Mike

    Hi,
    You can not make mirror images with printers but you can print mirror images on printers. This is how to print mirror images on a normal printer:

  • How to make the exchange of data between 2 while loop in real time

    hello
    I have 2 while loop
    the 1st while loop includes the data acquisition program
    the 2nd while loop includes the control program
    my question is how to make the exchange of data between 2 while loop in real time
    I tried with the local variable and direct wiring between the 2 while loop
    it does not work (there is a delay)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Bilalus,
    Queues are only good to transfer data if your application isn't deterministic. Since you are using Real Time, I am assuming that your application requires determinism. If you are using Timed Loops and you use queues to transfer data between your loops, you are losing determinism. In this case, you need to use the RT FIFO functions.

  • The Future of Logic - Soundtrack Pro 2 ?

    WOW! If you get a minute, check out the Apple promo pages for Soundtrack Pro 2 (part of Final Cut Studio 2).
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/soundtrackpro/
    Some of the capabilities are really cool. The multi-take manager, spectral EQ/editor, HUD enhancements, noise reduction, tabbed single window interface that can be rearranged... it goes on and on...
    Watch the series of QT videos to get a better sense. The list of videos scrolls right with the arrow.
    Would LOVE it if some of these features migrate to the next version of Logic.
    MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33 - 2 GB RAM - 160 GB HD - 30" Cinema Display   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Logic Pro 7.2.3 - RME FireFace 800 - LaCie "Rugged" 100 GB 7200 RPM FW Drive

    I'm sure apple will have Logic in the same mold as this, it makes sense on a number of levels. Logic should be seen as an upgrade for sound track users as well as a competitor to protools et al. If it seems too different to ST users then it won't work like that.
    I think that Sound track pro with it's multi take management, is showing signs of all the feedback I've been giving to apple lately, and I know loads of people here will see there desires in there so lets hope it's in the next Logic too. That stuff will give Digidesign a REAL headache!!

  • Level inconsistencies between Logic, Soundtrack Pro, Waveburner

    Why is it that when I bounce a track out of Logic with normalization, sometimes (but not always) when I pop it into Soundtrack Pro, it'll peak at -.1 or -.15? And then I'll normalize it and then give it a little +.07 AUPeakLimiter. Then when I pop that I'll into Waveburner, it occasionally won't bounce out of that because it says I have clipping even though I went through those previous steps.
    Anybody else notice these inconsistencies?

    I don't agree with "never normalize", especially when the normalization adds only 2 dB or less. Of course you can look at the level meter, see that the highest peak is -1,8 and just put the volume slider 1,8 dB higher; but that would yield the +exact same result+ as normalising. And if you have only two or three peaks that jump (way) out, I'ld recommend editing those manually, just reduce the gain on the cycle(s) that contains the peak(s) in the Wave Editor.
    regards, Erik.

  • CAN'T figure out how to make/edit movies in QuickTime Pro...

    I can't seem to figure out how to creat and edit movies in Quicktime Pro. I would do this in windows movie maker as its sooo simple, but it doesn't save in a format that works on a mac computer (I'm emailing the video to someone who uses a mac!). And, I can't seem to find a program that is as easy to use as Windows Movie Maker...PLEASE help me, I really NEED to get this movie in a format to work on a Mac! I'm at a total loss as to what to do! And I can't seem to find a tutorial, either!
    =( Kourtney

    First of all, Quicktime is not really an "editing" program in the traditional sense. If you are expecting to really edit in QT Pro, you will be disappointed. Yes, you can actually import video directly into QT Pro and edit it, but the functions will be limited to roughly selecting chunks of video and deleting them, and you won't have frame-accurate control like other real editing programs. But lets start at the beginning: 1) Your post does not give enough information to anyone for them to help you. Where are the videos coming from that you want to edit? Camcorder? Digital camera that takes MPEG movies? VHS or DVDs? 2) The answer to #1 will be the clue as whether you are plugging a USB device or a Firewire device into the computer. Once this is determined, then instructions will vary as to how you go about editing. 3) I'm not sure if you are using QT Pro on a PC or a Mac. If you have a Mac, why don't you use the built-in video editing program that came with your computer? It's called iMovie? Quicktime can convert some video files into something that is compatible with iMovie, if they're not already. If you are using QT Pro on a PC, then I'm a little unfamilar as if it works exactly the same between between a Mac and PC. Seeing that you come from the PC side of the Universe, I'd bet that you are trying to plug in and use a USB device. On a Mac, QT Pro can record video directly from a camcorder, but it needs to be connected via Firewire. Otherwise for something transferred via USB, you most likely have an MPEG file. QT Pro can open this, but again, the editing will be very rough as QT is not a refined edit program.

  • How to make boot disk for MacBook Pro with Mavericks pre-installed

    Hi -
    I recently bought a new 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display, which came pre-installed with Mavericks (10.9.0).  I want to make a bootable USB disk of the system software, and have successfly used DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) to make the USB boot disks for Lion and Mountain Lion.  In those cases, however, I was running earlier versions of the OSX, and downloaded the new OSX version -- Lion and Mountain Lion -- from the App Store in order to make to make the disk.  In this case, however, Mavericks was pre-installed, and I was unable to download it from the App Store (an alert said that it couldn't be installed on this computer... presumably because it was already installed).  I would apprecite any suggestions as to how I can create the boot disk without the ability to download Mavericks.  Thanks very much for any help anyone can provide.
    Shelly

    Open App Store and locate the full installer download file (5.29 GBs) for 10.9.1. Download to your computer.
    Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
    After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
        2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
    Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
        3. Use DiskMaker X to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
    Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
    You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
    You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
    Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.

  • How to make address labels on the pro

    how do i make address labels on the mac pro

    You need a database type software like the free LibreOffice which when you go to print, can select the standard Avery label format.
    You can buy the Avery labels you want in a office supply store, it should have a number or "compliant with Avery 6750" for instance.
    When you go to print your database, it will put the information you want into the correct label format when you go to print. So you select "Avery 6750" as your "paper option" instead of legal, letter etc.
    You place the labels paper side down in the printer,  top facing in and click print on the computer and the labels are printed.
    LibreOffice Database has the option of taking your Address book contents and importing it.
    Under the File > Wizard > Address Data Source.
    That's all I can help you with there. I haven't used LibreOffice to print out labels, so I don't know for sure if that capaicity is there or not, but it's a standard office practice for Office type software to do.
    It is possible to manually create your own layout, but you have to print over and over until you get all the text right over each label.

    We are getting ready to move from Office 2010 MSI to Office 365 (2013) click to run ProPlus.  Everything is ready to uninstall and install the new product. 
    My question is if the Updates Enabled="TRUE" is not in the configuration.xml file will machines with the click to run office 365 pull updates from the cloud?  I had been told that the Enabled=TRUE is not needed in the configuration file as
    it is a default setting.  We want our machines to pull down updates from the cloud in place of providing a manual update location on our network.
    Our configuration.xml file looks like this:

  • How to change gain or volume of one sample or loops in GB that remains fixed to it?

    I am not talking about automation,nor am I talking about track volume.....
    automation is a change for a place....if you happen to move that loop or clip from that place the pitch volume or tempo change is gone.....I want to change the volume of that one clip ......that remains specific to that part no matter where you move it.....

    "fiddling' with those points and lines" is called creating "automation" and every pro user in Logic or any other DAW is doing that constantly. It is actually great that GB has this advanced feature (to some degree)
    But you are right, the command for muting a Region should be included in GB. The other command for applying a simple gain offset to a Region wasn't even possible in Logic until recently.
    If you feel strongly about specific features that should be available in GB, just send it to the GB Feedback. Most of the features are there (based on the underlying Logic code base). Apple just have to be convinced to enable a feature because they are convinced that most of the GB users need it.
    Hope that helps

  • Upgrading to Tiger, Logic Pro, Soundtrack Pro, Etc

    Hi,
    Between me and Santa, it's been a really great Mac Christmas but I have some questions that I couldn't really find exact answers for by searching the forums.
    I'm currently running OS 10.3.9 with Logic Express, Garageband (original) and Soundtrack (original). I'm about to upgrade to Tiger and have iLife 05 (with Garageband 2) here with upgrades to both Logic & Soundtrack Pro on the way.
    I've decided to do an erase and install when I upgrade to Tiger just to wipe the slate clean (too many tried and abandoned freewares and demos!), but I'm a little confused about the best way to install all the new audio apps:
    1) Since I'm UPGRADING to Logic Pro and Soundtrack Pro, is it necessary for me to have Logic Express and the original Soundtrack installed before installing the upgrades, or will these install fine just by referencing my original activation codes or whatever?
    2) Would you recommend that I install Garageband 2 from the iLife 05 disc? I know there's a lot of redundancy, but it seems some posts here implied having GB2 installed was necessary for LP to work to its fullest (EXS instruments, Jam Packs etc)...I'm hoping I won't need to install GB2.
    3) Since STP comes with many of the same effects & loops as LP, is there anything I should consider doing to streamline the install or save disc space and avoid too much duplication?
    4) I'm sure I'll need to install the latest Pro Application Support releases. Should I do that after installing LP & STP or before? Does it matter?
    5) Finally, and I suppose this might be more appropriate on a different forum, but while I have you here: this G5 is my main computer for my .Mac account (we have a few other Macs in the house). Do I need to take any steps like deauthorizing or anything to make the transition smooth?
    Thanks for any help, suggestions or recommendations! Looking forward to finally being current....

    Thanks again, Justin. Had some issues...after installing Logic and moving on to the Content disc, the Installer for the Logic Pro Bonus Sounds kept quitting each time I tried to run it. Updated Logic to 7.1.1 and it was able to install, but it took about an hour. When I tried to drag the tutorial folder to my hard drive, it said it would take approximately 33 hours to copy the 500MB file! Weird.
    Also, before updating to 7.1.1, I tried launching Logic and it held for over an hour while Scanning Audio Units on: (19/21) AuAudioFilePlayer. Did a Force Quit on the Auval(?), which was not responding, and Logic opened fine, and has since. Don't know if this might not bode well for the future though.
    Biggest Problem: Looking at the Loop Browser, I'm only seeing Garageband Loops from the drop-down menu. With Express, I could see other Sub-Groups besides GB Loops. I've installed Soundtrack Pro, and I know it's missing those as well because the "Vocal" tab is greyed out and, being sure there are some vocal loops in STP, I dragged the HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro onto the Loop Browser and it seems to have indexed them as at least now the "Vocal" tab has loops in it.
    However, I'm still not seeing "Soundtrack Pro Loops" or anything new in the drop-down menu - which was always handy to access specific loop sets such as ones I installed on my own. I'm just worried that I'm not getting access to the Loops that came with Logic Pro! Any thoughts?
    Thanks so much for your help ~Knight (presto211)
