LOGIC EXPRESS 9 Curser positioning & Quantize nightmare!

LOGIC EXPRESS 9 Curser positioning & Quantize nightmare!
Please help! no matter where I seem to set the curser to Quantise to Snap or Beat or Bar however much I try to
set the Curser Line to say I dont know a BAR or a BEAT LINE it goes either side!! then theres Overlap and No Overlap, this helps in some cases,
but when i look below to a simple Midi loop I've done using Razor the end points have changed due to overlap being changed to an aboe track! it drives me nuts, LOGIC PROGRAMMERS! Why should I have to ZOOM IN AND IN AND IN (even with magic trackpad its horrible) just to get the curser to SNAP TO THE LINE! like Bar 57: 1 :1 :1 Logic Express could be much better labled as far as QUANTIZE and SNAP ON n OFF goes! then in INSPECTOR for each Audio or Midi track I have been finding it impossible to set the quantise here and I have 2 books!
I got my AIF file inspector properties and it only shows a Loop tickbox. I should not have to setup multiple marker points and use as a template, its just more time wasting, Acid Pro is sooo fast you should see how simple it is to get an idea down! all I to chop beats n bars of samples and guess what I want the beats and brs to LINE UP with the GRID PATTERN when I drag or point to it, ffs! its not to much to ask is it?, how about some simple global quantize parameters like snap to 1/16th includes wavs , midi parts when range selected after live takes, and how do I get the View to goto the point I have ZOOMED TO like the Curser, and how do I stop these stupid forums not let me correct or add text without distroying the text infront!!!!@AAHAHHFiKGSFHG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry but I paid thousands for better sound quality it shouldnt be so **** hard to get a curser to snap to a line thats AIFs and Midi , I shouldnt have to spend hours looking at books and tutorials on youtube this the very basics I'm talking about.

did you trash the preferences file?
Your User / Library / Preferences / com.apple.logic.express.plist
It could be that you have the preference that Logic loads last loaded project? Maybe the project is corrupt? Try moving the project folder to a different location.

Logical expression( = , =, , ) in read statement

Hi All,
Is it possible to use the logical expressions like (<= , >=, <, >) in the read statement?

While you can only use "=" with the READ statement, you can use the READ statement to position the cursor at the first record you want and then use the LOOP with your operators to get only those records you want (assuming standard tables that have been correctly sorted). This can be very efficient.
There have been many discussion about this in the forums. Please search and you'll see them.

Logic Express 8 glitches with Mountain Lion - will I lose stuff if I re-install?

I use Logic Express 8, but it has been acting up since I upgraded my iMac from Leopard through Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. The sliders for navigating around my song projects are not working properly, which makes it difficult to zoom in on details. The program also crashes every time I use Flex-Time. Anyone know why this is and what I should do? I have a large amount of stored music projects on my Mac and, although they're backed up on Time Machine, I'm afraid that if I re-installed Logic Express 8 I might lose all this material and have nightmares getting it back.

What's the downside of starting with Logic Express?

I'm moving up from Garageband, and I record on a Macbook Pro with a Presonus Firepod interface.
I'm trying to decide whether to start with Express or Logic Studio. I think that Express will suit my needs fine, but at any rate, it seems like there's no downside as Express is $199 and the upgrade to Studio is $299. So even if I start with Express and decide I need Studio, it won't cost me any more than the full version of Studio anyway ($499).
Does anyone have an opinion?

Honestly, I think your original question answers itself. You are right on target in your thoughts. You can buy LE8 now and, if you decide to upgrade later, you can upgrade for a price that wouldn't cost you more than the original purchase of Logic Studio. I just purchased the upgrade from LE7, and the reason why I used LE instead of Logic Pro is that I refuse to use software with dongles. By adding external plugins and instruments, I was able to do pretty much what a Logic Pro user could do in my position (the extra features such as HDM support were unnecessary to me). Now, though, with what Logic Studio offers, I decided that $300 was a pretty sweet upgrade. Still, I could do a lot with LE7. LE 8, of course, is much, much better.
So, jump in to Logic Express 8 and see if it does what you want. One things for sure, though, and that is LE8 is a serious DAW out of the box for an incredible price.

Entering tablature for audio track in Logic Express 9

Hi,
When recording an audio track in Logic Express 9, I'd like to manually enter tablature for the recorded piece. After reading the manual and some tweaking, I still have a couple of questions about this:
1. It seems one can only enter tablature for midi tracks, so I end up adding a fake midi track, muting it, then entering tablature on that midi track. Is there an easier approach?
2. Is there a way to enter whole chords at once in the tab track instead of first having to enter each note of a chord separately, then copy/pasting that chord to all places I need it? (I know one can add chord symbols, but these are just text symbols that do not have rhythm notation.)
3. It seems that the tablature editor in Logic Express supports only a limited number of fingerings, i.e., one cannot add a note on the 6th fret of the 6th string, as this is automatically turned into the 1st fret on the 5th string. Can this be changed?
Any help appreciated!

Hi,
To answer your questions,
1. I'm sorry, but there is no easier way. Since the "audio to score" function (where you let Logic interpret the notes in the audio and makes midi out of it) hasn't fully matured yet, I don't think there's an easier approach.
2. In the environment you can add a chord memorizer. With this function you can Logic tell to put in a (for instance) C-chord when you hit just the C-note on your midi keyboard. Since I used this function just once and I'm not anywhere close to a Mac with Logic I can't tell exactly how this works right now.
3. You can change the position of a note on the tablature by changing the note's MIDI channel (in the inspector).

Drums on Logic Express 8 Help needed

Hi there,
I recently brought an imac, purely for my girfriend who writes and records her own music. We have Logic Express 8, and my partner loves it compared to cubase on her old pc! I myself play the drums, and would love to record drums onto this program. I have a real 13 piece kit, with mesh heads fitted to keep the noise down. Recording via a mic is not an option due to noise etc. Is there a way of triggering my drums to get a sound in Logic? I apologise if this sounds crazy, but I am a bit behind on the times! Any help on whether this is possible and what I will need is greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
Keith.

Their are multiple ways to record drums:
* firstly, acoustic drums could only be micd, if you are looking to record with what you have, im afraid that's your only option
*secondly, you could always use a sampler and trigger your drum samples with a midi keyboard, but i hate this method personally
*thirdly, you could invest in a program such as EZ-Drummer, which has some very nice drum loops all organized by tempo...all you do is simply drag the loop into the arrange window, and if you'd like, you could open the piano roll and manipulate that loop
*and the fourth (and in my opinion the best) method, is to sell those acoustic drums, and buy yourself an electronic drum kit...you can quantize your notes, you could load any sound sample you want on those pads to get a very diverse range of recordings...and best of all, no microphones! also, volume isn't a problem, if you want to play at 2 in the morning without waking the neighbors, then just through on some headphones and jam away
im not sure if you wanted to know any of that cause i may of misinterpreted your question, but i tried.

How to create an ABAP Query with OR logical expression in the select-where

Hi,
In trying to create an ABAP query with parameters. So it will select data where fields are equal to the parameters entered. The default logical expression is SELECT.. WHERE... AND.. However I want to have an OR logical expression instead of AND.. how can I attain this??
Please help me on this.. Points will be rewarded.
Thanks a lot.

Question Man

Hi Bhupal, Shanthi, and Saipriya,
Thanks for your replies. But that didn't answer my question.
Bhupal,
You cannot just replace AND with OR in an ABAP QUERY. ABAP QUERY is a self generated SAP code. You'll just declare the tables, input parameters and output fields to be displayed and it will create a SAP standard code. If you'll try to change the code and replace the AND with OR in the SAP standard code, the system will require you to enter access key/object key for that particular query.
Shanthi,
Yes, that is exactly what need to have. I need to retireve DATA whenever one of the conditions was satisfied.
Saipriya,
Like what I have said, this is a standard SAP code so we can't do your suggestion.
I have already tried to insert a code in the ABAP query (there's a part there wherein you can have extra code) but that didn't work. Can anybody help me on this.
Thanks a lot.
Points will be rewarded.

Dynamic Logical Expressions in ABAP: IF (lt_cond)...

is it possible to have a dynamically constructured logical expression?
I have a condition I need to use in an IF, but I want to avoid hard-coding, so I dynamicallybuild it.
for a simple example:
CONCATENATE ITAB-f1
 'EQ'
 varValue
 INTO lt_cond SEPARATED BY SPACE.
IF (lt_cond).
WRITE:/ 'Success'.
ENDIF.
Is it possible to do this?

I am trying to use the macro to check an IF (cond).
cond is a dynamically constructed condition.
The bold part of my code way below is my problem area.
I'm having no trouble getting COND constructed. But I am having trouble between my macro and the processing as my error always tells me I'm calling my macro without 2 actual parameters. Or when I DEFINE my macro with &1 instead of &1 &2, I get 'incorrect logical expression'.
I've read all the documentation I can find on this, but i still cannot figure out why my macro is not processing.
Code is lengthy, but if you can, please help.
I'm anticipating the output to be 'FAILURE' at this point. I just want the condition COND to be processed.

Logical expressions in Link editor

Hi all,
Is it possible to define logical expressions (using AND, OR) in the Link editor of BLS or are we left with only using the Conditional Action block? Thanks...

Yes it is.
For AND : <<Condition1>> && <<Condition2>>
For OR : <<Condition1>> || <<Condition2>>
You can use the double ampersand (&&) for AND and double pipe (||) for OR

Help! Logic Express 8 does not work on my Mac Pro with OS 10.5.1

Hello, I hope somebody around here is able to help me.
I have got a new Mac Pro with one Quad core processor since yesterday and it works fine except for Logic Express 8 (version 8.0.1). Whenever I start Logic the program crashes as soon as "Core Audio initialisieren" is shown in the display. I have tried to reinstall the program, deleted it completely and installed it again. It is always the same.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? What can I do about it? I am a musician and I really need Logic Express to run.

Confused. 10.6 is DVD based. Only Lion and above are downloads.
And best install is not to upgrade. Do a clean install - on another drive.
Corrupt partition tables or bad sectors or no room to adjust the partitions or the directory is corrupt.
ERASE the drive if Repair Disk didn't work.

Loops in Logic Express

First of all I best say that I am new to Logic Express and Garageband, in fact the Mac thing so forgive the basic nature of this post. I have had some funny goings on with my mac since a failed software install so I decided to rebuild everything including the OS. Having re-installed Garageband and Logic Express I find most of the loops are missing. Some are there but all drum loops and others have gone. I tried to look up options to see if there is a tick box to install them but nothing. If I look in library, the loop directory is also missing. Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks
Tetleyted

Thanks for the reply. took a look but the directory structure as follows: HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops (Apple doesn't exist. I have a feeling that garageband and Logic Express hasn't completed the install. I have tried to re-run it but the same thing happened - no loops. Any suggestions welcomed.

Some organs don't play in new Logic Express files after JamPacks installed

After loading only the instruments from the Symphony Orchestra and World Music GarageBand Jam Packs, I lost the ability to hear most of the organs available in Logic Express and all of the organs available in GarageBand after inserting them into Logic Express tracks. These same organ sounds still play in any Logic Express file set up prior to the installation of the JamPacks and they continue to play in GarageBand. Can an uninstall/reinstall of Logic Express 7.2.3 be a fix for this or is there an easier way to return the lost instruments to Logic Express?
1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) Midisport 4x4, iControl

The loss of instrument sounds in Logic Express had nothing to do with the installation of GarageBand JamPacks. The midi channel setting in the Inspector box of the Arrange window in Logic Express needed to be set to channel 1 to get midi data from other than channel 1 to play some of the inserted CoreAudio instruments. I don't understand what's going on but now I'm able to get the instruments that would not play.

How to connect my Alesis to Logic Express Pro, running on an Intel Mac Mini

Hi,
would anyone possibly have an idea how to connect my Alesis Multimix 8 USB to Logic Express 7,2?
The Alesis has a USB out. But I don't see anything in the L/E documentation on USB connections.
I'm hopeful there's another way.
Thanks very much.
-peter

LE documentation won't give instructions for use of 3rd party equipment, except possibly generically.
Have you downloaded the latest drivers? If it is a USB item, perhaps you are meant to plug in the USB cable rather than wishing it was something else.
