Logic 9 Metronome and Tracks issue

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone else experienced the following issue with the Logic 9.
I'm experiencing this problem while doing live audio recording.
I set the metronome and record the live audio, in the beginning the musician don't have any problem for hearing or following the metronome clicks. Then, when we set to record 2nd or 3rd tracks there is a delay occurs within the metronome and the recorded tracks. Basically all the recorded audio wouldn't match to the metronome. In the process of recording everything seems okay and the musician plays perfectly without missing any beats, and then when we record more audio channels we can hear that there is an issue with beats as they don't match, the difference is in Milliseconds but when you record so many audio channels the problem gets worse.
I record professional musicians and I have no doubt that they would make errors of following beats. Besides, I made so many experiments and even used a different set-up other than Logic. I figured that this issue is only exists with Logic.
Is there anyone else experiencing same problem?
To experiment more, we wrote our own rhytm and used that as a metronome. No difference... Logic 9 naturally put delays to the recorded audio, but every audio channel delayed randomly in Milliseconds so they don't match. I check all audio settings for every channel I recorded and there isn't deffinetly any delay set-up.
I even updated to newest Logic update available which is Logic 9.1.5 but the problem is still the same and no improvement.
If anyone experienced the same issue and found a solution please help!

Make a clicktrack.
Create New SI-track, insert Klopfgeist, draw or play in four or eight clicks, quantize, loop until the end of song, bounce.

Logic 6 and Tiger Issue

I just upgraded to tiger, from panther.. I'm still using logic pro 6, and after 3 days of erratic behaviour (long long start ups amongst other dialogue boxes), now it wont start up at all.
I also use a motu 828 mkII, and have installed the latest tiger drivers for this product, to no avail.
If anyone wants to know, i really don't think it's compatible with tiger, and although i was going to upgrade anyway as soon as i could, now i have a problem..... do i go back to panther in order to finish my tune? what a waste of time! Shame there wasnt a warning from apple..so i do it for you.

Be aware, there is one bug that I know of with Logic Pro 6.4 and 10.4. If you try to change a song's metronome settings, Logic will crash.
I think that's the only known issue.
The workaround is to create songs in 10.3 with the desired metronome settings and use them as templates in 10.4.

Volume and Track Issue

Since buying my Shuffle, I have been very disappointed in a couple of things. First, When I shut my Shuffle OFF, the voume seems to default back to very low, when I turn it back on. In iTunes,it is set and locked to MAX allowable volume. is there any way to correct this, so the Volume returns to the level when turned off?
Second disappointment is that the when I shut the Shuffle off, it basically starts at any tune randomly. My Classic, would start at the same tune all the time. Any way to resolve that issue?

Odd, my new 4th Gen Shuffle seems to do both things you want it to do in that it starts up where ever it last left off and the volume remains set the same as well.
So the next question is, when you shut it off, are you also plugging it into your computer to sync up? Vs. Simply shutting it off, then turning it back on a little bit later without ever having plugged it into your computer.

I am having major issues with Logic 8 and want to reinstall.

I am having a lot of issues with Logic 8 and want to do a re-install. What is the procedure and what do I need to uninstall first. I need to be careful, because I don't want to affect my Logic 7.
Any suggestions?

What problems?
The first thing to do is trash the preferences. As far as affecting Logic 7, once you install 8, 7 is "forgotten" about. I'm assuming your L8 is a real version, not a "borrowed from the interweb" one.

Issuing material to Service order contractor and tracking it

Hi Experts,
We are creating service activity PR, PO, Service acceptance as per standard SAP. We would like to issue materials to this contractor on free of cost and he would return balance material, if any.
We can reserve material for this activity and goods issue against this reservation (using movement type 221). But this material will be consumed in project.
Is there any solution for this?
Regards,
RSVRMurthy.

Hi Murthy,
From the scenario explaination I believe you make a common procurement for the project and provide it to the service executed by various departments such Electrical Instrumentation etc.
In that case create a Procurement WBS element in your project structure along with the mechanical,electrical instrumentation WBS structure.Make all project related procurements under this procurement WBS element by attaching material through dummy Internal activities(as you cannot attach material directly to WBSE).
Your department WBS element will have all the subcontractor service activities.When you want issue the material to a particular subcontractor activity,make a stock transfer from Procurement WBS element to the WBS element to which the service activity is attached(in your case 1000 M).Till now it will be in the inventory.When the subcontractor provides you the actual consumption data, make a goods issue to that service activity(in your case 800M).
In this way you can track the
1)total procurement of cable
2)Cable lying with each subcontractor
3) actual cable consumption by subcontractor
4)actual material cost realising against the actual execution activity.
But there are some points to be noted,
Hope you will be following Project stock concept, with procurement type being Res+PR for WBS.In this case the reservation will be in the internal activity under with Material(Cable) is attached.That is in the procurement WBSE.So while closing the project you have to clear those open reservation.You have option for clearing open reservations while confirming.As I mentioned earlier the internal activities are dummy, you should have a control key with cost irrelevant.
One more point to note, while issuing the material to the service activity, you have to make a manual issue as there wont be any reservation against this service activity(that is you cannot adopt details of the reservation).

THE use of the apple support is a mess also.
I want to be able to use my MAC fully and easily like I used to with Snow Leopard.
What is wrong with this maverick OS?

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

Audio Issue - Using Logic Pro and iMovie to Create Movies for Youtube

I am trying to use a combination of Quicktime, iMovie and Logic Pro 9 to create videos of me playing/singing songs to post on Youtube. Before I can ask the question, I think it would be best to briefly explain my process, so here's one example:
One thing I try to do is video myself playing piano and singing at the same time. What I do is open up Logic Pro and load my piano sound and arm an audio track that my microphone is plugged in to; I also go to "System Preferences" and click on "Sound" and make sure that my audio interface is selected for the input method. Then, I open up Quicktime and select "New Movie Recording". Finally, I open up my software for my interface and set it up for "loopback"...there's a picture below.
If you look at the bottom of the interface, you'll see it says "DAW 1: Loop Back 1" and "DAW 2: Loop Back 2". Ideally, this means that whenever I start recording in Quicktime, all of the sounds that I am making in Logic (the piano playing and the singing) will loop back into the computer and be recorded by Quicktime. This does actually happen, but my question is this:
I've noticed that the sound quality of software instruments is drastically reduced once they have been recorded by Quicktime (or iMovie) and I play the movie back. Actual audio files, like me singing or playing a real instrument aren't really affected, but for some reason the software instruments sound very thin once I listen to the audio in the movie. Why is this happening? Is there a way to preserve the audio quality to be the same during video playback as it is when I am playing the instruments live in Logic?

Interesting and convoluted way to get something done.. from what you're describing it almost sounds like the software instruments are somehow getting recorded twice but slightly out of phase.
When you record your singing are you monitoring through headphones or speakers?

Logic's EXPORT TRACK(S) feature is buggy. Anyone else noticing this?

I'm curious to know what Logic's "export track(s)" functions are specifically designed for. I say specifically because I can't quite pinpoint how they work exactly. Meaning, if a track has sends or sidechain processing etc etc those effects are NOT APPLIED to the exported track. Further, I've noticed static in a file (which doesn't have static in the mix) appear on an exported track, also I've experienced out of sync delays and other issues.
My first question is: has anyone else found the export track feature in Logic to be somewhat inefficient, and if so, have you found a suitable work around?
Second question: What is the Export tracks function specifically designed for? It's not designed to print certain effects on tracks and it doesn't apply any sends data either.
Please chime in with any thoughts. My personal workaround right now is to simply solo each track and bounce the project at the global level (for every individual track). I keep the output strip dry and it seems to be working fine so far (but quite tedious). I'm scratching my head to know what "export track(s)" is designed for.
Thanks!

I'm still unsure as to why you'd actually want to do this.
If you want to give your processed tracks to a mixing engineer, first thing he will do is ask, for the dry material, because, after all, you are paying him to create abetter mix with better procesing than you can.
If you want to save processing power or RAM, then use Freeze.
If you want to create processed tracks for riskfree playback in a live situation, you'd bounce stems anyway.
Also, the request for incorporated Sends does not make sense, as a send only carries dry, unprocessed sound anyway.
Christian
Well you are right about the "live situation" scenario. This is why I'd like a "bounce all individual tracks seperately" option. It would facilitate exporting tracks for remixing or performance in Ableton Live. It's a lot nicer to have every track as it sounds in a mix than to have groups or stems when remixing or performing.Right now it just takes a while to solo and bounce every track in a 40+ track project. I just think it would be a very useful function.

Macbook Pro keyboard and track pad freeze

I have tried about 15 times now to post this due to the following problem
Today my keyboard and track pad have suddenly frozen. In appears as if the OS is fine and running but I can't input any kind of key or cursor movement. I have to restart it. Is this common? It's bad news because I have work to do and I can't just get used to using the save command every 30 seconds. That's why I switched to Apple; I was sick of this and similar issues with PCs. Anyone. . . Ideas??

This happened twice to me in the last five months. I had to take it in for service; the first time, they replaced the keyboard, and the second time, they replaced the entire logic board. The problem hasn't come back so far.
If you need the computer urgently, it should work if you plug in an external keyboard and mouse. However, I think you'll probably have to take it in for service in order to get the problem fixed.

Logic Control and LP8

Hi,
I'm surprised at the lack of outrage over the terrible state of the Logic Control unit implementation in Logic Pro . With earlier versions of Logic I found using the LC unit a delight, recording and mixing several projects with it. Now (8.0.1) it's simply not worth using. I've tried all I know . . . rebuild defaults, trash preferences, re-install the unit, build a new autoload template (even Logic's templates don't work any better in this respect). Global mode doesn't work and track selection is a problem in any mode. One exception: if you're content with using the up/down arrows on the LC for track selection it works better . . . even in Global mode . . . it will actually put a track into Record and not mention the dreaded "Automation Folder"! Apple has stated that the unit is "behaving as expected". Mackie advised me to check for double .cs preference files(there weren't). Nobody said "Oh yeah . . . it's a problem". Either the issue isn't as widespread as I imagine or the relevant companies are not aware of the problem. This unit wasn't cheap. I paid $1764.00 Canadian when I bought it. It was worth every penny at the time, but now it looks more like a non-usable piece of metal that cost over three times more than the software (LP8) that appears to be crippling it.
What gives?
RW

Yep, I'm amazed at how broken it is in LP8, both major and minor issues. It's like nobody tested the MCU when they'd reworking the GUI and other stuff for LP8.
I've certainly reported this as a bug, so it's not like they aren't aware of it. I really hope they are tackling all this stuff (as well as all the other stuff) for an update soon...

Swapping songs between Logic Pro and Express-incompatibility?

We have a bunch of audio tracks that we recorded on Logic Pro 7.1. A musician has Logic express and wants to use the tracks and over dub and then send them back. When we brought the portable drive over, all the songs loaded fine minus plug ins not available. When we hit play though, the CPU overloads on the G5 with Express. We transfered all the songs to the computers hard drive so not to rely on the firewire. Also, it has 2 G of RAM for the processor. If we build the tracks up from the bottom, dragging each audio track in one at a time, then it works. This is a hassle though since it make collaboration tough. Any thoughts on why we are having incompatability issues?
Dual G5 2.5 2gRAM Mac OS X (10.3.9)

There is very little difference, mostly in content (Jampacks, Waveburner, Mainstage..and a few of the high end plugins). Other than that they're functionally identical. same audio engine, you wouldn't know the difference just by looking at them.

Logic Pro X Fades Issue?

Trying my first pre-mastering attempt in Logic Pro X. I decided the best way to work was to create "Alternative" mixes for each track on the album totalllying 13, ordering each song as a region. So I went track by track and did my processing and added my in and out fades. Saved each time I switched alternatives to work on the next song.
On return, I opened each alternative and started boucing out. Check the bounced Wavs and three or four tracks had a weird "ghost" of material from other regions in the session. Reopened the Logic session to find that where my fades were, a little nugget of sound was playing from another region in the session.,
Simply altering the fades in any way took care of the problem, but it's not the most elegant solution with an anxious client (eager to hear your awesome masters) next to you and the Discmaker's upload page on the other computer;)
Anyone run into this yet?

May I have your attention, Apple Logic Pro X developers/programmers:
Please explain if this is a bug, or if there is a setting I´ve missed somewhere? I have now Googled and checked every possible function in Logic, to no avail. I´ll blow some dust off my Logic 9 box in the meantime.
Note: Logic's Dev are not here.. This is a user community mainly 'staffed' by other users like yourself...
Why doesn't Apple answer the questions that we ask about Logic Pro?
Additional: I cannot reproduce this issue here.. under 10.10.2 and LPX 10.1 I tested on both my testbed Macs and on both of them... Single clicking on the ruler moves the Playhead as normal.
Make sure you are single clicking below the numbers in the ruler....
Failing that.....
Delete both the main Logic prefs and the CS prefs....using these instructions. Please do exactly what they say in the same order.
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
Quit Logic Pro
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
Note. If you cannot find any of these files you didn't follow the instructions exactly as written

New logic board, and new display, but now completely dead.

Hi guys,
I've got an iBook G3, running 10.3.9.
In December 2006, the logic board failed, so I bought a MacBook, because I didn't have time to be offline waiting weeks for Apple to replace the iBook's logic board.
After much badgering, Apple reluctantly replaced the iBook's logic board under the extended warranty program.
While the iBook was with the Apple repair store, they replaced the display for new as well, even though I didn't ask them to, and even though I wasn't charged for it.
I presume that was because the store discovered that the display was duff enough to be replaced under another extended warranty program.
When I got the "repaired" unit home, with a brand new logic board, and a brand new display, I turned it on, and it seemed to be working fine, so I turned it off, and continued to use my MacBook.
A few weeks ago, the second logic board on my MacBook failed (another long horror story entirely), so I began using the iBook for the first time since it had been "repaired" some six months earlier.
Almost immediately, the iBook began exhibiting a major problem, specifically that I'd be typing away, and suddenly the display would go black.
I could just about see the icons and documents on the screen, but the unit was unusable.
So I pulled restarts, full shutdowns, disk utility, zapped the PRAM, etc, all to no avail.
It seemed to be an intermittent problem.
For example, sometimes, from a cold start, the unit would work for two or three hours until the display went black.
Other times, I'd pull a cold start, and it would go straight to the black display.
By chance, I discovered that if I gave the iBook a shake, the display would come back on.
But then it would go black after a second or two.
And then with another shake, it would come back on for a second or two.
And then it would go black after a second or two.
And then with another shake, it would come back on, sometimes for a couple of hours at a time.
So I figured that it must be a cable which, during the installation of the logic board, and/or the new display, wasn't seated correctly by the technician.
I phoned Apple, and told them about it.
They said that because I had reported the issue beyond 90 days since the logic board had been replaced, it was no longer Apple's problem.
I explained to Apple that I hadn't used the iBook for six months, because I had a MacBook.
After much badgering, Apple has agreed to replace the logic board if it's faulty.
However, Apple has refused to replace the NEW display, even if that's also faulty.
Apple is also insisting that I have to pay all the labor charges.
Meanwhile, I've noticed that the iBook is now incredibly hot.
I mean, the MacBook is infamous for running hot, but this "repaired" iBook makes my MacBook feel like a block of ice by comparison.
I don't remember the iBook running so extremely hot before the "repair."
Which has made me notice that during the last few weeks, I've never heard the iBook's fan come on.
I presume that an iBook has a fan ?
Please confirm.
Therefore, another loose cable ?
Today, the display went black again, as usual.
So I gave the iBook a shake.
But this time, nothing happened.
No display.
No fan.
No hard drive spinning.
Just silent and dead.
What do you reckon, guys ?
Duff logic board ?
And/or duff display ?
And/or duff fan ?
And/or duff cabling by the technician ?
As far as I'm concerned, I don't see why I should have to pay for yet another repair, to correct hardware and/or workmanship which was so bad that after only three weeks of ACTUAL use since the "repair", the unit is now completely dead.
All opinions and advice gratefully received.
With thanks and best wishes,

Hi S,
Many thanks for your helpful and swift response.
I agree with you regarding the likelihood that these problems would have surfaced immediately during normal usage, regardless of how much or little time had passed since the repair.
As advised, I will inform Apple Customer Relations UK about the new developments.
Indeed, when I resubmit the iBook, I'll include a print-out of this discussion.
I agree with you about the fan.
Prior to the failure of the first logic board, I ran that iBook for YEARS, without noticing any heat issue.
Indeed, if there had been such incredible heat, then I'd have searched these discussion boards, and reported it to Apple HQ.
Therefore, the astonishing heat is definitely a new development since the "repair."
Consequently, I take on board your comments about the lack of a working fan since the "repair", which I shall also mention to Apple HQ.
As for running the Apple Hardware Test, the unit is completely dead.
The power cable is green, but the unit is now completely silent and black.
I also note your suggestions regarding the cable which connects the display to the rest of the unit, which I shall also mention to Apple HQ.
No repair sheet was ever given to me by the Apple Repair Centre (ARC).
Indeed, no receipt was ever given to me when I delivered the unit to the ARC, nor was any paperwork ever given to me when I collected the unit from the ARC.
However, Apple HQ can see on their screen that the logic board and display were both replaced for new by the ARC.
What else was and wasn't done by the ARC is a mystery.
I'll phone the ARC and ask for copies of any and all paperwork, so that I can submit it all to Apple HQ, which I note is your recommended option, rather than returning the unit to the ARC.
However, the complicating factor is that with the exception of the logic board, it is my understanding that Apple is denying any liability on any part of the "repaired" unit, including the brand new display.
If I understand Apple HQ correctly, they're now saying that all other hardware and labor costs will be mine.
I'm sure I could buy a WORKING second-hand iBook G3 for the same price as a repair, if not cheaper.
Therefore, perhaps I should return the unit to the ARC, and give them the opportunity to correct their previous workmanship, at their OWN cost.
Because as far as I'm concerned, the ARC had two customers during the repair: Apple and the end-user, as evidenced by the fact that the ARC has invoiced its first customer Apple for workmanship which was clearly not up to Apple's own standards, and the ARC has then delivered the unit to its second customer, the end-user.
In addition, regardless of Apple's 90 day warranty on repaired hardware, UK law includes the Sale of Goods Act 1979, and other relevant legislation: http://www.dti.gov.uk/consumers/fact-sheets/page38311.html
Furthermore, if the ARC is completely unhelpful, I could jump all over them, by writing to Apple HQ, with cc's to the UK editions of MacWorld, MacFormat, and MacUser magazines.
As advised, if the unit goes to Apple HQ, I will suggest that the unit is looked at carefully during disassembly, to see if errors were made during the ARC "repair."
I'm always polite when on the phone to Apple, because I love the company so much.
Indeed, even though during the last twelve months, I've been having very bad luck with the iBook, as well as with a MacBook which has exhibited so many problems that Apple has now agreed to replace old for new, I still love my Mac.
And joy, sweet joy, I've just seen on the TNT courier's tracker website, that my replacement MacBook, built by Apple in Singapore, then flown to Arnhem in Germany, then flown to Northampton UK, then delivered to Heathrow UK, left the Heathrow depot 30 minutes ago, for delivery to the customer.
And the sun is shining.
Thank you again for all your kind and wise advice.
With best wishes,
Michael

Mac boots but keyboard and track pad dead

Ok this may be a long shot, but any help is appreciated...
My sister dropped her Black MacBook. The screen is shot, however, it boots and I can use an external monitor.
The problem is that the keyboard and track pad are completely dead (except for the power button that works as it should). My question is: what are the possible problems? Could it be the topcase itself that is bad (or just the ribbon connecting it to the logic board)? Or could it be the logic board itself that is cracked?
I took the top case off (my first time doing this) and noticed that the little white connector at the end of the keyboard ribbon cable that plugs into the logic board can come off. Should that connector be able to come off?
Thanks again for any help!

ok the macbook works great with external monitor, keyboard and mouse ...i'm using it to post this message now...
anyone else seen this issue of the keyboard not working, or have other suggestions? I would just go and get a new top case off ebay but i dont want to spend the money on the top case is it's actually the logic board...
thanks again
