Im loosing the 'punch' when i record beats into Logic.

Hi.
I record beats into Logic from my MPC which could be the 2 track out or 8 separate outs.
What me and others with the same setup as me are saying is that the beat looses a certain puch and sound to it when we record it into logic. It sounds different playing back in logic than it does on the mpc. The outputs from the mpc go directly into separate channels on my interface and therefore i would think that there would be no difference in sound.
There is a lack of warmth. I dont know whether any of you could offer me any advice or its just a logic audio conversion thing???? Im not sure
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks, Ben

I and others have also heard this. My opinion is that it's something to do with recording at 24-bit, that makes the sound clearer and wider, but it's not as punchy as a 16-bit recording of the same thing. Unfortunately, this goes against what the entire industry wants us to believe, so I'm not expecting any help with this issue soon since most people will deny it exist.
Try recording your tracks into a small audio app like Peak or Soundforge that allows you to record at 16-bit. (I'm not sure turning off 24-bit recording in Logic does this)...
..then import the 16b tracks into a Logic project (at 44.1 khz), and export to CD....you should notice your "punchy" base is back again.
Sorry I can't help other than to say I, and others, hear it too, and we're all trying to figure out what to do about it.

    I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs. in order to start rebuilding my music collection?

    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
    When you get it all working, make a backup!

  • Error in Forms while creating the trigger- WHEN-CREATE-RECORD

    Hello,
    Right now I am using 11g client side and 10g database.
    I am constantly getting an error while creating triggers in 11g.
    I have created a sequence in SQL developer using the following code:
    create sequence loc_id_sequence
    start with 14;
    After creating the sequence. I am trying to write the PL/SQL code in forms builder for the trigger WHEN-CREATE-RECORD
    declare
    loc_id number;
    begin
    loc_id := loc_id_sequence.nextval;
    end;
    But I have been getting the following error constantly. Can anyone please help me?
    "Error 0 at line 5, column 4
    SQL statement ignored".
    Can anyone please tell me why I am getting that error

    In fact, even I thought there might be some problem with the connectivity with the 10g database and 11g client but the other DB related code works.
    I just have the problem with using sequence for the trigger WHEN-CREATE-RECORD.
    In fact I also tried using WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE smart trigger instead of WHEN-CREATE-RECORD for the same sequence. But even that doesn't work.
    Do u have any idea of what that error means?
    "Error 0 at line 5, column 4
    SQL statement ignored"

  • Recording audio into logic?

    hello,how can you record audio straight into logic express 7,i have an audio interface,just dont know how to control logic to do this.i know how to record it onto my hard drive,but just thought you might be able to record it into logic ,like you would recording midi, into a track etc..thats if you can do it at all ?
    hope this makes sense.
    thanx

    When you record the track segment you are creating is saved on your hard drive. It is not data that is saved as part the song file itself. It is more like a link. Each segment is separate so you are going to create a new one each time you record a part of your song. Logic wants to place them into a common folder.
    Logic needs to have a path to those files so it can access them for playback. It is best to have them in the song file folder rather than somewhere else on your hard drive. When you follow through with setting the audio path Logic will create the necessary folders for the different types of files it will need to access.
    When you create a new song file it does not have that audio path. So, you either set up the link/path after you create a new song file, or when you try to record your first track segment, Logic will ask you to set that path before recording.
    Hope that helps.

  • Is it possible to get Apple Keynote to show the presenter display instead of just the slides when I record audio using Play - Record Slideshow?

    Rather than giving a presentation with an external monitor, I want to sit at my desk and record a presentation for distribution like a podcast.  When I click record to add the sound to the presentation I see the slide show on the screen while recording instead of the presenter display.  I would like to watch the presenter display while recording so that I can see the next slide as I record.  There doesn't seem to be any way to record and watch the presenter display without having an external monitor attached.  Does anyone know how to get the presenter display to show while recording without an external monitor?

    I also needed to view presenter notes while recording a presentation on my Macbook Pro and could not find a solutions, but I did find a pretty good work around.
    I downloaded the Keynote Remote app for my iPhone.  I am now able to start recording on my laptop and then hit start slideshow on my iphone to view a portrait mode version of my slides with presenter notes below.  I use my phone to flip through slides and slide builds while I'm reading through my presenter notes.  When I've reached the end of the presentation I hit esc on my Macbook Pro and I'm done.  I'm then able to export the recorded presentation as a Quicktime video and post it on our website, which is exactly what I set out to do.
    It takes a little bit of coordination to get used to this method, but I don't need to have a projector or second monitor because my phone takes on the second monitor role.

  • Why do my movies come out sideways when transferred from my iPhone to my PC no matter which way I hold the iPhone when I record?  And how do I fix it?

    Why do my movies come out sideways when I transfer them from my iPhone to my PC, no matter which way I hold my iPhone when I record the video?  How do I fix it?

    Defiled:
    I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east.  She travels in missions all over.
    At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone?  AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier.  If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" .  My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T .  I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product.  My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
    Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
    Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
    Thank you for your responses.

  • What connectors do I need for my ipad so I can connect it to my apogee duet 2 interface essentially using the ipad as an instrument utilizing a few of the synth and drum machine apps to record tracks into Logic on my Mac?

    Ok, so I completely feel like this is a stupid question for those of you already in the know and recording tracks onto your Computers DAW from instrument apps on the iPad and other i devices. I can not seem to find out exactly what connector or unit I need to be able to connect and use my ipad as a instrument to record tracks onto logic. I have an ipad2 that I want to connect to my apogee duet 2 interface which is obviously connected to my Mac. I know Logic comes with plenty of drum and synth options but I still want to be able to use beatmaker, jam up pro and the sunrizer synth apps on some of my tracks. I do have the camera conversion adaptors. So my question is, do I just run from the camera adapter in the ipad into the midi port on my apogee interface? (I'm new to and still learning about midi) Or is there a special 30 pin cable I need to get that runs from the ipad into the XLR or quarter inch in the break out cables on the apogee? I did find one cord out there that plugged into the ipad and had left and right XLR connectors but my duets break out cable only has two inputs each is their own channel. Also , if the cable I need isn't midi  and does connect to the breakout cables, do I set it as an instrument or as a mic in the apogee software? Or am I completely way off base and needing something different all together. Any help would be much appreciated!
    I have a fare amount of experience when it comes to recording, set up and the flow of standard instruments, using external hardware and plugins. But the last few weeks I spent a lot of time programming some great beats in beatmaker on my ipad and I want to track them into Logic. It seemed like no matter how I worded the questions when researching what I thought was and should be simple to figure it out, it just took me to answers I wasn't looking for. Thank you ahead of time. Like I said I'm just starting to get out of my comfort zone and learn about midi and the more digital side of things. So sorry about any ignorance concerning that side of things.

    The new Apogee Duet for iPad and Mac, is compaible with iOS devices and includes a USB Midi input. This sounds like the perfect solution for your workflow.

  • How do I remove the watermark when importing WMV files into Premiere Pro?

    There is some metadata that adds a media player watermark to my WMV files when I import them into Premiere Pro. I can play the original WMV videos with out the watermark on VLC, but the watermarks show up when I play them on Realplayer. So I know there is something that reads the watermark into the video file and I want to know if there is a way to turn it off in Premiere. I can convert the wmv with Any Video Converter and there is no watermark, but I'd like to avoid this step if I can.

    Unfortunately my client doesn't know how the videos were created. My guess is that they were created using some free screen recorder. Most of the videos are recorded PPTs.
    I've checked the microsoft site, but haven't found anything relevant.
    Thanks for the suggestion.

  • How Do I get the right patches from my keyboard into LOgic??

    Please help me.
    I'm a beginner of Logic.
    Can someone tell me how to record the sound that I want to record
    into the MIDI track??
    When I click on the first track with the grand piano picture, and then play my keyboard, I dont hear
    grand piano but string sound. And when i play 3rd tack (fingered bass picture) i hear different patch from my keyboard. Can someone tell me how to
    lock up right bank and patches with logic?
    This is so confusing. Someone told me I need to download the patch list of my keyboard to make it show up in logic the same way it's showing up in my keyboard. Without it, I'd have to type every patch list of my synth into logic bank and prgram names. How do you guys deal with this?
    PLease help me. This is haunting me for a week now..
    One more question..
    When I press record with metronum on, I hear metronum AND some other
    patch sound playing along with metronum. How can I only hear the metronum?

  • Recording VDrums into Logic Pro

    Hi. I'm trying to record numerous takes from my VDrums into Logic using Cycle record. I've checked the 'Auto mute in cycle record' and 'Auto create new tracks in cycle record' boxes. All the takes are then recorded fine (I can see the information) with a new track for each one, but I can only listen back to the last take I did. All tracks are unmuted but I can only hear the final take. What's going on, it's doing my head in!!
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi there are two ways to mute .. one is the whole
    track (ie the blue M light) and the other is the
    region (ie segement of midi on a track) - to mute
    this you press m (assuming you have not re-mapped
    this key). When a cycle record happens a new track is
    created for each cycle and only the regions are
    muted. The last one recorded is not muted.. So in
    this case the "M" buttons on the tracks are should
    all be left alone.
    There is also a mute tool in the Toolbox - that
    allows you to click on a region and toggle its
    mutedness (oh a new word!)..
    Cheers Ian! I obviously failed to recognise the differences between track muting and region muting!

  • Dropping beat into logic pro only puts 1 minute of a 3 minute beat help

    Im taking a beat from iTunes and dropping it into logic pro x but the beat is 3 minutes long and logic pro will only take about 1 minute of the beat how do i stop it from cutting the beat that short

    1) Yes.. Either you can reinstall from the DVDs you got as part of the Boxed set of Logic Studio 2/Logic Pro or.. if you purchased Logic Pro via the app store, download it again by going to the App Store app on your new Mac and going to the purchased tab which, after signing in using your Apple ID and password, will allow you to download Logic once more.
    Note: In regards to the DVD boxed set... Some of the modern Macs no longer come with DVD/CD drives built in so you should make DMG images of your DVDs using your old Mac and the Disk utility...  and store them on an external Hard Drive which you can then contact to your new Mac and install Logic from
    2) You can select several regions at the same time and move them as you wish..
    If you hold down the option key you will actually be able to make a copy of them and when you move them the originals will still be left in place..

  • Random clicks when routing standalone synths into Logic via Soundflower

    Anyone facing random clicks when re-routing audio from standalone music software into Logic through Cycling '74 Soundflower?
    I am testing that with the Vogue Quattro free synth, that can be downloaded here:
    http://tinyurl.com/2ucyfem
    This is not AU so it requires re-routing. Can you also please mention your processor speed, Mac model and OS version? Trying to find out if this is a performance issue or not.
    Tnx.

    Ok, from first experiments I'm basically getting the same behaviour you see - MIDI is being routed to Kontakt, and it's playing. If you set Kontakt to use the default system output, it plays fine. But when set to the Soundflower driver, it plays (looking at the meters) but that audio doesn't show up in Logic.
    I've tried using an external instrument, using an audio channel in input monitor mode, and an input object, software monitoring is on, and in no cases can I get the Kontakt audio in Logic.
    I'm going to try a few things. I've certainly used an aggregate device with Soundflower to pipe audio into Logic in the past (though not in LP8, it was LP7). At the moment I don't know whether it's a Kontakt issue, an aggregate device issue, a Soundflower issue, or a Logic issue.
    More in a bit...
    Edit: just using Soundflower as the audio device (ie on its own, not as part of an aggregate deivce) the audio does go back into Logic's mixer.
    Edit2: Ok, just got it working. AMS and Soundflower is picky about picking up the number of inputs/outputs correctly here. I futzed with it a bit (see my sig) and it's now working.
    Edit3: And now it's stopped again. Soundflower has always been a little flaky for me, so perhaps it's general Soundflower flakiness that makes this not a dependable setup. The Soundflower inputs have disappeared from my Aggregate device - seems to be crashing or something. Re-futzing it, re-creating the aggregate device with care so the correct number of inputs show up, and it works again for a while. But it's not at all reliable.
    Give Jack a try, and see whether you get more stable behaviour. I used Jack on my old PPC as well, but don't have it installed here to hand...
