Logic pro x. Global tracks chord

I work a great deel with Logic Pro 9 using Global Tracks Chords to manage chordshifting when i use loops. I Bought Logic Pro X, and I cant find this possibility
In Logic Pro X. Need help fast......

Yes Gr8Dayz, it is correct. No support for Chords. This is incredible because competitors, like Cubase, add this features at highest level to help composer.
Not all... I've found big problems with loops without chord track... yes, you can use "flex" but it's not a solution for a songwriter or for a composer that wants to give a "song structure" with chords (and found "ideas").
At the end to compose with Logic Pro X takes 3-4 time more than "old" Logic Pro.
It's incredible but yesterday I had to import a simple MP3 file (44.1 khz.) to make a recording. I could not believe what I saw ... Logic Pro X makes a mistake ... the beginning of the audio file was compromised ... there were silences/empty sound placed in the first 5 seconds .
I've been working on this thing one hours, I thought I had done something wrong. So I repeated the import procedure 10 times creating new projects at all frequencies available.
What had happened? Logic Pro X has a not defined bug that prevents (in this case) the correct import file.
How do I know this ?
Easy.
I opened my beloved Pro Logic (the " old ") and the first time everything worked fine. Not only was it faster, but the file WAS PERFECT. Sound great.
Conclusion . I am going to leave the O Logic Pro X. If Apple programmers do not change things I AM OBLIGED TO SPEND € 600 TO BUY A PROGRAM THAT MAKES SERIOUS THINGS SERIOUSLY... II will not give you the name of the software, but you can easily imagine it.
I think we could change the name of Logic Pro X and, unfortunately, rename it with a different name : Amateur (il)Logic X...

Is there a workaround for the missing global track chords?

Is there a workaround for the missing global track chords? i.e. will Apple loops follow the chord progression in a track?

I found sort of a work around. I still have Logic Pro 9. It turns out that if you go into global tracks, analyze the chords then go back to logic pro x the chord progression is preserved. So the information is preserved there just seems no way to create it in X.

What's with this Global Tracks: Chord Analysis/Transposition bug?????

Hi.
In the midst of a fairly complex piece I allowed my mind to wander and thought i'd see what the Global Tracks Chords analysis would make of my piece.... Interesting.
It wasn't till later when trying to copy regions either vertically or horizontally that I discovered I had a MAJOR problem!!
At the suggestion of other threads I checked my Global Tracks Transposition track and sure enough it was a mass of squiggles - directly related to the chord analysis.
Apparently this is a bug, but I have been unable to find any ways to remedy the situation except to unravel the song back to that dreaded moment of idle curiosity!
If anyone has some ideas to help I'd be very grateful!!!!! Many thanks!

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.

Every other time I type cmd k for keyboard in Logic Pro X, the track that is selected is muted.

The title kind of says it all. Every other time that I press the shortcut for onscreen keys, the selected track is muted. By that I mean if I press cmd+k it brings up the keyboard unmuted, then press cmd+k to get rid of it and it's still fine, but the next time I press cmd+k to bring the keyboard back up, the track is muted.
Only noticed this today, and don't know what I did. Please Help!

Figured it out! On the menu bar I clicked Logic Pro X > Control Surfaces > Learn Assignment for "Mute", which meant that I Mute was the last command that I had clicked on. In the (No Zone) section, there was a Learned Assignment, and I simply clicked delete and it disappeared. Now everything is just fine.

Best workflow for editing Logic Pro 8 regions/tracks in Soundtrack Pro?

I've searched for a solution for the below question in several forums and to no avail. Thanks in advance for any help!
What is the easiest workflow for editing Logic Pro 8 audio files with Soundtrack Pro 2? And I'm thinking of a process very similar to the Final Cut Pro timeline audio-to- Soundtrack Pro Audio File project workflow.
I'd imagine that a good amount of the time, I'd be editing regions rather than full audio files -- as in, once in a while, while mixing sessions that another engineer has tracked, I'll hear clicks and pops from pre-amps clipping; or I'll hear an air conditioner blower running or something.
Basically, I occasionally hear noise in the arrange window while mixing that I'd like to edit out with Soundtrack Pro, and I need to know the easiest way to send that audio clip to Soundtrack Pro and then back to Final Cut Pro.

Connecting your FS Mobile to powered speakers will not increase latency. Latency is simply the fixed amount of time it takes for your computer to process sounds. Once the sound is processed and available at the outputs of the FS Mobile, it can go anywhere; to a PA mixer, a separate monitor mixer, headphones, etc. One thing you will want to consider when playing live is to have a personal monitor very close to you and pretty loud. The reason being is that the physical distance between you and the main PA speakers will itself induce a type of latency since sound travels at about 1126 ft/sec or 1000 msec of delay for every 1126 feet. Adding this delay to your latency could make holding a groove or pitch for that matter nearly impossible. The delays add up pretty quickly. For example, if your speakers are say 50 feet away from you, you would likely have around 20 msec of delay right there. Add this to your system latency of 20 msec and your up to 40 msec which is like trying to play a rubber guitar underwater. Even if your PA speakers are closer, the delays add up quickly. So having that nice loud monitor right up next to you will insure that you only have to get the feel of your system latency.

Global Track - Chords (Only selected Midi and Audio Tracks)

I am looking to have only certain Audio/Midi tracks be trsposed when there is a change of chords in the Global Track section. For example, I am going C/Am/C. At the Am point, everthing (exclusing drums) gets transposed, even the Melody parts. Is there any way to select only the tracks that I want tranposed?
Or is there a better way of doing this. Appreciate the help.

Hi Again
I tried it out today and on the Midi tracks I found the no hassle in ticking the non transpose button. Worked great.
On the audio loop tracks I could not find the no transpose option in the inspector. Appreciate your assistance.

Logic Pro 7 - Audio Track record with Firewire In

System: Mac Book Pro. Logic 7.2.3 M-Audio Firewire 410. Aggregate device created = Firewire Multichannel (as input) & Built-In Output. (Built-in microphone turned off) Using condensor mike connected to F/W interface
SYMPTOM: No Audio being recorded to Audio Track. MIDI interfaces OK.
Any idea how to set Audio track to capture Firewire audio IN? (The set-up works properly with Garage Band)

Have you checked the Audio Input in the Channel Strip? What is it set to? Have you armed the Record button? ... say a bit more about your set up

How do I make Bandstand Logic Pro 7's default GM Midi Player?

When I import a GM Midi file into Logic Pro 7 the tracks appear near the bottom of the page as part of the midi channels rather than in the section 'Inst 1 - Inst 8' (which I'm sure is what they're supposed to do).
I can find Bandstand when I change, for example, Track 22 (Clean Gt) into 'Inst 1' and then open up the Mixer and follow the I/O path > Stereo > AU Instruments > Native Instruments > Bandstand, and the track will then play
the correct GM Midi sound using Bandstand.
However I was under the impression that I could make any newly imported GM Midi file always automatically play GM Midi Bandstand-generated sounds.
If I go into the Environment, select Midi Instr. > New > Internal > Apple Quicktime I can instantly make all tracks on the imported GM Midi file play perfectly using Quicktime (although I still seem to have to do this each
time I open a new track rather than Logic default to Quicktime for any newly imported Midi file).
After installation I was expecting to find Bandstand alongside Apple Quicktime and ReWire, given that the instructions say that Bandstand will automatically integrate with Logic - but it's not there!
However I don't want Logic to default to QuickTime, I want Logic to play imported midi files perfectly using Bandstand each time without having to make any adjustments. I have been told this is possible. I just can't work out how!
I hope someone can help! Ean ([email protected])

Hi Ean
I don’t own Bandstand but I have been looking at it lately, and I know you can open and play standard midi files right from the player section on the bottom right hand side of the interface.
When you import a midi file each midi channel, (1-16) defaults to a midi track for playback. since Bandstand is a VI you need to set it up similarly to the way the quicktime instrument is set up
In the midi layer of your environment, create a multi instrument, and name it Bandstand. set the midi out port to off and turn on each midi channel of the multi by clicking each one. Put an audio instrument object in the layer next to the multi and in the I/O select bandstand as the instrument. connect a cable from out of the multi to the input of the audio instrument.
if this is the only multi in your environment, when you import a midi file it should default to these tracks
I know this works for other mutitambril VI’s. hopefully this will work for Bandstand
By the way.. how do you like Bandstand? are the sounds real good?

Logic Pro X and Reason 7 Rewire Sync Issues

Hello,
I'm running logic pro X (V10.07) and Reason V7.01 (in rewire slave mode).
My drum tracks come from reason, and I've recorded bass and guitar in logic.
My issue: When I play back the track FROM LOGIC, the drums are out of sync with the music. It's in the milliseconds but definitely noticeable and makes everythign sound...off.
Oddly, when I play back the track from Reason (I start it using the Reason transport, rather than Logic Pro X), the track sounds fine.
I've attached a screenshot of my Logic Pro X preferences. Not sure what to do here -- when I bounce the track down, it's the same as if I start it from the logic transport (i.e. the music and beats are out of sync).

Resolved. Turns out my version of Reason needed an update.

Logic Pro 8 wont open!!!!

A few days ago i foolishly went to prefs>audio and selected the dae option in Logic 8.
I didnt need to, but i did it to see what options might come up. I was Trying to help a friend with a Pro Tools/Logic Setup. I then shut Logic down. Whenever I try to open it I get "The application Logic Pro quit unexpectedly" with option to
close, report and reopen. I have restarted, and Dumped the Prefs.
What is my next move??
Should I Reinstall?? I would rather not
If I do have to reinstall how do Unistall??
Thanks
Denny

I just trashed Logic 8 and re-install, following all instructions, not doing two things at the same time as I usually do. That's is all I did. But my first re-installed did not worked I had to repeat it a few times.
but now it is stable.
I have never seen a procedure to uninstall Logic Studio, other than the usual way, Trash, and deleting everything with the name Logic Studio, Logic Pro 8 Sound track Pro etc.... (Basically all applications contained in the install DISC).

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)

Logic Pro X 10.0.7 samples only record in chords.

I was layering a composition and all was working fine. Suddenly Logic Pro X started recording only chords of any software instrument. I would be playing (and hearing) legato, but on playback it was chords made up of the individual notes of the pattern. This occurred a while after I had a session crash when loading a Native Instruments plug-in. Logic Pro froze and lost the saved Project. I restarted and began a new Project. Everything was working fine with Software Instruments (not Native Instruments) when Logic Pro X began to playback only chords. Any suggestions?

Sounds to me like your notes got quantized to 1/2 or 1 bar or so. Check that tracks' MIDI thru settings in the Inspector (deselect any region(s)), set it to off if necessary. This should undo the quantization.

Text Style question re INSTR Global text source - Logic Pro X

I write arrangments for an 18 piece big band. The line up is 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, piano, bass, drums, male vocalist & female vocalist.
I only have one GM sound module (Kentron SD2). I use a Midisport 2x4 Midi Interface between the Mac Mini and the Sound Module.
The set up in Logic Pro X is that in the midi envronmemnt I have 1 multi instrument with the complete band linked up to that
The set up is as follows:
Channel 1 1st and 2nd Altos
Channel 2 1st and 2nd Tenors
Channel 3 Baritone
Channel 4 1st and 2nd Trumpets
Channel 5 3rd and 4th Trumpets
Channel 6 1st and 2nd Trombones
Channel 7 3rd and 4th Trombones
Channel 8 Piano
Channel 9 Bass
Channel 10 Drums
Channel 11 Male Vocal
Channel 12 Female Vocal
All the above instrments are on individual tracks even where they share a midi channel- these parts are printed out for use by the band
Channel 13-16 are spare channels that I use during the development of the arrangement - the track contents for these are not printed out
Here is the problem. When I print out the parts for the various insturments and use the INSTR global text to identify the specific instrument on the part header, what is displayed is the patch identity for the various instruments as indicateid in the Library. Logic is not reading the track name for this.
It follows that 1st and 2nd Altos will show on the part header Alto Sax - similarly for the other wind instruments sharing a midi channel.
I am a recent convert from Logic Audio for Windows v 5.5.1 where I used the same set up. In that case Logic read the track information and therefore the instrument identification was correctly displayed on the printed parts.
Any ideas how I can overcome this problem without having to go into each part and manually change the instrument description.
thanks

Hi everyone, Sorry for my earlier long post, I just found the answer. All I needed to do is select REGION instead of INSTR

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...
