Logic Pro Tracking

i want to track my voice section by section. so what i do first is track the verse then the next. but i want to do it on the same track and also i want to hear my previous recording/region so i can get a proper queue.
to be exact, below is my workflow:
first i arm a track for recording, record my 1st verse.
Then I take a breather,
then I want to record my chorus on the same track, so i arm the same track to record my chorus section.
I don't hear my prior recorded verse. I want to hear it so that I can get my cue as to when to enter the song.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks guys for the suggestion!
regards,
Mon

Try to read this first:

Logic Pro 8 with Triton Studio MIDI Data Not Sending

I have a Triton Studio (Korg), recently got a MIDI IN/OUT to USB plug in, for my macbook.
Never done this before, thus am trying to figure this out:
My computer is showing that the USB plug in is indeed there, and Logic Pro sees the device as well... however when I punch the keys in the keyboard, the data does not seem to transfer into the Logic Pro track.
I just want to get it set up, so I can record onto Logic Pro 8, creating music on this software. As in playing my board, having the software receive what I am playing. Just piano stuff really... Any help I can get is appreciated, I have looked through all sorts of forums and manuals, but maybe an explanation would help, or clarity on what the basic settings should be at, so it can work, then if it still does not work, then maybe there's another issue.
Also, when I start Logic Pro 8, it says "Cannot find DAE Folder in "System Folder" them "ESB TDM Plug-in not found"
Are these anything to worry about? This computer is used, thus I am not the first owner.

You need to use an external MIDI track or a Software (virtual) Instrument track to record MIDI.
Normally this is correct, but I have seen a USB Interface where the cables are labelled the other way round.... IN goes to IN, OUT goes to OUT.
Crazy situation, but might be worth checking?
CCT
That's one I've never seen but have no doubt they exist.
Perhaps a quality control issue.... Nah!
To the O.P.
Does the Korg Triton have to be enabled for MIDI out.
As I recall some Korg Triton models had both MIDI ports and a built in USB interface and there was a MIDI Menu where either port could be enabled. It's worth checking into even if your model does not have the built-in USB output.
Are you using 10.6.8 like your tagline says?

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...

Logic Express on MBP 2.2 to Logic Pro or Wait? Track count? 720 RPM drive?

Hey there,
Just a few easy questions, some of which I am sure have been asked but didn't find with search.
Wondering if I should upgrade to Logic Pro or wait until after Leapord? As their is some speculation the FCP is going to come out (NEW) and be very, VERY Apple like, not like iMovie, (he said, and saw), but nonetheless very VERY Apple like for FCP, so wondering how far Logic is. Also, how many times can you install LP?
Right now everything from Storm Drum FX EXtreme, EWQL SO, VLS, etc, are all on PC and I still don't use the PC that much and am hoping new LOGIC include a great drum machine.
II. Anyone know what track counts you can expect with off the shelf MBP 2.2 and plug ins? (Soft Synths)?
III. Has anyone upgrade their HD to 7200? If so, more or less batter life? Any real world difference besides boot up time in AUDIO work advantages?
Thanks

Now see, this is what I was afraid of. (LOL), I have built PC's for a long time and was always under the impression having a 7200 RPM System drive is fine and these days so fast with eSata that on a MBP 2.2 (which is what I have - someone asked what I was using, or did they mean software), that is should be plenty fast enough, just wondering though for samples, BFD, DrumCore, VSL, etc if those should go on a firewire.
I also use Absysnth (if this is what you mean (other poster), Nuendo, FC Express, SX3, Logic E, Reason, ......
Two scenarios:
Music=Mine, Drum machine, really like the Addictive (also have and Drumcore) as well as have Groove Agent, Storm Drum, (No storm drum yet or FX Extreme for Intel, let alone EWQLSO?), bass, guitar, vocals.
Scenario II. Scoring Trailers:
Soft Synth, Samplers (EWQL/VSL), Reason, Absynth.
Most of the time I could do this on a old system equal to first duo on PC on the system disc, although I had 4 HD's. The Firewire is Mackie 400F, which also has a firewire, (extra) that I have plugged a digital cam cord AND up popped iDVD, iMovie, also have FCP.
But it's interesting that the two responses I got one said much better performance, the other not.
So, are we using in the new 2.2 (LED) eSata)? Is the a 32 slot for the MBP for eSata HD? Isn't this supposed to be the fastest?

Why can't I colour code my tracks / instruments in a Logic Pro Template?

Hi,
I'm trying to create my own Logic template using an existing example template I found online.
In this template, I want to be able to colour code all of my instruments / tracks so that each time I load my template, all the tracks will be set to specific colours (i.e. all kicks are dark blue, hats are light blue, synths are purple, bassline red, etc etc...)
I've read that you can do this in the mini view menu (View > Configure Track Header > then tick 'Track Colour Bars') then you just select the desired colours for each track, and when you use this template again all these colours will be set.
You can see the menu settings here ('Track Colour Bars' selected):
I've done this with no problems on a completely new project (see image A below) but when trying to do it on this template I downloaded, the colours are not changing (see image B below)
IMAGE A - Configure track header on a blank project
IMAGE B - Configure track header on a existing project template
Does anyone have any idea what might be overriding the colour settings on the template (IMAGE B)? As you can see, I have been able to colour the actual midi but it will not colour the actual track.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was having problems with this for a while. Logic Pro used to let you color they regions and the track at the same time. Now you have to color the track first then click, Option (Alt for PC keyboards) +Shift+C this changes the color of the regions on the track to the same color as the track. Hope this helps!

I am using Logic Pro 8, I interface with a firepod, got a new firestudio project, but I can only access 10 tracks at a time to record enable, anyone?

I know the two interfaces have synced, but I just can't seem to pull up more than 10 tracks in the input channel drop down. If any one has any idea , I would love to hear about it.

CCTM, Hello my friend, I wanted to thank you for your support with this issue, Your screen shots, and the tricks and tips book I have helped me set up the aggregate device, I now have 20 inputs and 20 outputs as it should be.
Thank you again, respectfully Eric King.
P.S. As I work my way through the two Logic Pro 8 series books from apple, I am sure I will have more questions, hope to speak with you again. Have a wonderful day .

"system overload" in logic pro 8 on my Mac Pro with only three tracks

I am running Logic Pro 8, on a 2.66 Quad Core Mac Pro w/ only 1GB of RAM. I have not had the money for the much needed ram upgrade, yet.
The day before yesterday I opened a project I had opened many times, with only three tracks - two audio and a midi synth with only a few notes. These tracks are fairly well plugin-ed up, but this Mac Pro has always eaten them up, no problems. When I tried to play the project, I got system overloads every 2 seconds, rather precisely actually. My CPU usage reads low in logic and with iStat, but suddenly it peaks to 100% on my third core and I get the system overload.
I had my buffer size at 128, so I switched it to 1024, it worked, and then I switched it back again and everything worked like it used to!
But now I have to go through this slightly illogical little procedure everytime I open a project. I have read threads here about this subject before, back I cant seem to apply them / understand them in relation to my particular situation.
any ideas?

Join the club...wait for them to patch/update it.
I've tried the various work arounds, sometimes they work temporarily, sometimes not at all.
For the overloads the most reliable "work around" is to select each track, open the VI/FX modules associated with that track, then close them, go to the next track and repeat the process. OR, if you know all the modules (VI/FX) you're using, just open each one. This will "initialize" their existance BEFORE the audio engine hits them in playback.
My guess is LP8 tries to reduce it's memory foot print and does NOT initialize all the VI/FX in a saved project that is just opened until it actually needs to use them -- a good idea one would think. However, when you do your playback and it hits the VI/FX for the first time (after you just opened your saved project) it appears the audio engine stalls waiting for the VI/FX to initialize the 1st time around and hence the overloads error. Obviously I can't prove this since I don't have access to the code, but I'm a developer and this would be my logical guess based on the evidence at hand.
I can reproduce the problem consistently:
1. Start LP8
2. Open existing project with 3 tracks (staggered to start a different times) with different VI on each track
3. Have 3 buses with a different FX on each bus
4. Do nothing other than hit Play
Overload when it hits start of 1st track VI, stop, restart, overloads when it hits start point of 2nd track VI, stop restart, overloads when it hits start point of 3rd track.
Why wasn't something this obvious caught in testing? Good question.
Rob.

In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track or software track and load an audio file/loop or software file loop, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio or software tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustrating as this takes much time to complete work.

I'm not sure I follow your words Fuzzynormal. You've helped by offering the insight that my issue in Logic Pro 9 is not a bug but a feature. But fell short of enlightenment by being a judge of character and of how one should interact in this forum. You insinuate that I haven't tried to solve the issue on my own when in fact I have. These forums are always my last resort. You further suggest that I am complaining. This is not a complaint. It is a genuine issue that I cannot figure out. Then you think that Brazeca is holding my hand and being a nice guy. Brazeca is helping people like me who might not be as adept at using Logic Pro as probably you are.This community forum was established to raise questions, answers and dicussion to help Apple's customers better undertand their operating systems and related issues. You are doing a disservice by not contributing positively and by trying to make this forum what you want it to be. You may have all the time in the world to try figuring out stuff but we are not all like you. We all have different schedules and different levels of understanding. And that is what this forum is for - to help people move forward. If you can't contribute positively then keep silent. And by the way, you say to "read the words that are printed down to explain to you how that works" what words are you talking about? Why don't you be of some help instead of trying to own this forum.

How do I get a video track in Logic Pro 9?

I'm trying to sync a video I have recorded in Photo Booth with the music I recorded via my mixer into Logic Pro 9.
I have tried dragging the video into Logic and it only gives me options like bring in the audio (also another issue is that the audio has a locked symbol and won't let me drag it to the beginning).
The video does not show up in a track, it does appear at the very far left but if I try to play it, it is just a couple of frames juddering over and over again. I have also tried opening the video in Quicktime and saving as a .m4v instead of a .mov and dragging in to Logic but this did not work either. I have also tried the Open Movie option under the File menu instead of dragging but this doesn't work either.
I can do this easily in Garageband, but I cant save in Logic as a .band file. I have looked for instruction videos on Youtube but those videos start with the video automatically showing in a track. I have looked under Global Tracks but it still does not show. What can I do to get this to work?
Thanks.

No, you do not need to change it back, "Settings" are not global, they're per project. "Preferences" are Global and affect all projects.
Logic defaults to a "standard" 1 hour SMPTE preset, personally I think it's more confusing since more users are not professional (ie: experienced) so they don't realize why the video isn't showing.
You need to read the manual regarding video, unless you use the manual to it's best advantage you will only end up using a few percent of Logic's features..
http://help.apple.com/logicpro/mac/9.1.6/en/logicpro/usermanual/
The Mantra is.... Logic is not Garageband, GB is user friendly with far less options, Logic is professional software and expects the user to up their game. (a good thing, imho)

How do I burn a recorded track, on logic pro?

How do I burn a recorded track, on logic pro?

Bad?
I am far from an expert at Logic, but I found making a .wav file or .MP3 file fairly easy.
Using the edit menj, I select all the tracts in my arrnage window. Having done that I bounce the selected tract to my audio hard drive, having named it.
I can then import that audio file and others into Itunes and then burn a list of compositions onto a CD.
There must be several variations on that process but that one works well for me.

I updated to OS X Mavericks and now trying to run Logic Pro X on a MacBook Pro mid-2009, using an M-Audio Axiom 49 and an M-Audio Fast Track Pro... Logic keeps telling me that Mac OS X MIDI Services are not available... How do I solve this problem?

I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As". So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail. I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
Here's what I know:
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update. None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them. This is maddening! What can be done? Apple?? Anyone???

I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9. I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track. how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc???? Help

Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

Logic Pro X help: Track/File menu not showing up in audio editor. How to fix?

Hello,
I am a amature musician that has been using logic pro for a little while now. I recently tried to use the time and pitch machine to stretch a sample to my project length. I open up the audio editor and behold! No file menu. I have looked through all the mues and I cant seem to find it anywhere.
Has anyone experienced this problem and do they know how to fix it?
Thank you

You are in Track view, where you need to be in File view. Those tabs are just outside of your screenshot, it seems. You must have either an enormous screen or a big screen resolution.
As KC said, flex is a more versatile tool, but if you have a set workflow, then the T&P machine is still there.

Logic Pro X - How do I record my voice over existing tracks (via a mike and audio interface) without hearing those tracks on the speaker. I have headphones plugged into the interface but it doesn't stop in coming out of the speakers?

I'm new to Logic Pro X and can't work out how to record my voice over existing tracks without them playing over the speaker. I'm using a Sure mike through an audio interface and have headphones plugged into the interface?

Hi Kevin, what kind of audio interface do you have?
