Logic randomly dragging midi tracks during autopunch

hi, can't figure out what i'm doing wrong here.  logic seems to be moving my tracks over a bar or two when i autopunch midi tracks.  i must be hitting some shortcut by accident or maybe it's a setting.  can someone tell me what i'm probably doing wrong?
thanks in advance,
dave

Bump. Anyone?

  • Random volume change on midi track during

    Hey guys! For some reason a random midi track will just all of a sudden increase to max on volume while play back and I haven't got any automation on it at all. I have tried unplugging the midi and in again but still won't solve the problem. Anyone know how to fix this??
    I have been searching for this answer and still haven't found anything.
    Is this a bug in logic pro? This used to happen with my Logic 8 and I just recently upgraded to Pro thinking this won't happen but it's doing my head in!!!
    Please please help!!

    OK, you say all sorts of things, but frankly none of it is very clear or concise. What is needed here is evidence. So first select any track on which this happens, select the regions of that track, open the Event list (key: E) and make a screenshot of that event list. This to exclude that you already have recorded these volume control messages. If you have and you don't want them, click on the Notes button top of the event list, this hides all notes, making it easier to select all volume events and delete those.
    Second, when it starts to happen, hit cmd-8, an Environment window opens. In this window, go to the dropdown top left and choose Click & Ports. In that layer/window you'll see a MIDI monitor object. Are there any events shown in it? Click in it to clear it, and see if cc 7 (volume) control messages start coming in. They move you faders.
    You most likely have a MIDI controller with a wobbly slider or panpot or other hardware thingy that is sending out those Volume control messages aka CC 7.
    "unplugging and in again" I take it means you have unplugged it and immediately replugged it, as a sort of "reset"? That will not help in this case, it would help if you'd unplugged it and observed what (didn't) happen when you did. I bet the problem clears up then, again pointing to the hardware as the culprit.
    You can do that still: unplug your MIDI equipment, and see if it still happens. My bet: it won't.
    If the hardware is to blame, the best solution is to get better hardware, or get it fixed, or filter out the volume messages in the environment, or in the prefs.

  • Logic randomly playing midi notes.  How do I turn it off?

    When i solo a track logic triggers a midi note. same with mute and selecting and pretty much every button and menu in logic triggers a midi note or CC. What is going on here? My midi keyboard keeps playing notes cuz logic keep triggering them.
    Solo plays a F1
    Mute plays a E1
    Record plays a C2
    selecting a track plays a D4
    Everything triggers a midi note or CC.  it's bugging me a messing up my sessions.  Pleases help me.

    Is it C2 or C-2?

  • Logic Express Create MIDI from Audio Voice Track

    Is it possible to take a sung voice recording and generate a MIDI track in Logic Express? I don't need to replicate the voice in the MIDI track, but would like the pitches and rhythms for editing in Finale.
    Pete P.

    That is a brilliant request, I'd love to see an answer to this myself. I've thought of this type of feature in the past and seen that there are tools out there that can convert audio from a guitar or other instrument to create midi - so the technology is there - the question is can Logic do it? hmmm curious too.

  • How to record multiple midi channel data to multiple midi tracks in Logic?

    Dear All,
    I have an electric organ from Yamaha, and it has 3 keyboards, upper keyboard, lower keyboard, and pedal keyboard. They are all running in different midi channels:
    i.e. upper keyboard: midi channel 1
    lower keyboard: midi channel 2
    pedal keyboard: midi channel 3
    When I try to create 3 midi tracks in Logic to listen to the 3 keyboards, I found that their midi signal just mixed together. Meaning, all 3 midi tracks can listen to all 3 keyboards...
    Please noted that I am using a single USB Midi interface (1-in, 1-out) to connect the electric organ with macbook.
    Can someone give me a help here? I suppose I can setup 3 midi tracks in logic to listen to 3 keyboards signal separately.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    I had a similar situation when I first got LS and received this useful reply from Apple-

    Be aware that the Settings are song specific, compared to Preferences, which apply
    to all songs. Set your controllers to send on specific MIDI channels and set the same channels in the inspector of your tracks.
    I have a 2x2 midisport however, so I don't know if you will have an issue because you have only 1 I/O.
    If so, you might have to learn about 'Multi instruments", I haven't had the need.
    Yes, this is correct. We have two recording stations with ESI M4U 4x4 midi interfaces. We are recording 4 instruments at the same time and they all send their data on a different channel. I created midi instruments for all of them in Environment just to have them more easily available in the Arrange window. Also make sure you have the correct midi channel set per track in Logic.
    When the option to "auto demix by channel" is set and you are recording, it may seem that Logic is recording only on one channel (only one region being created). But as soon as you hit stop, it will expand to multiple channels.

  • Logic Pro when recording audio and midi takes, the regions sometimes become confused. The midi tracks line up with audio tracks.

    When recording midi and audio tracks simutaneously the midi tracks don't always line up with the software instrument channel. They may show up on the audio track. Sometimes they appear white instead of the normal green. Any suggestions?

    Hey there jlholm,
    It sounds like you are seeing some unexpected behavior when you are working on your project. I would use troubleshooting steps 6-10 from the following article named:

  • Logic won't stop take-foldering my midi tracks

    I'm working on a midi track - writing a part, and then going back and adding CC info. I always worked this way and have never had a problem.
    Now, I'm trying to finish this track, and Logic keeps taking my adding CC info as a seperate "take" and muting my performance and cramming everything into a take folder. Changing my recording options, making sure regions are not highlighted,....nothing works.
    anyone know how to make the insanity stop??

    File > Project Settings > Recording. In midi section, deselect Create Take Folders and choose another option.

  • Logic 8.0.2 - Bounce midi track out of sync!!!!!

    Hello, sorry my bad English. Quickly explain my problem in logic 8.0.2!!!
    When I try to bounce a midi track (or register midi to audio via aux), when I import the audio track in the project, this is out of sync (enlarging the audio track, start point of the sound is late). I have tried removing all plug in (bypass), I have tried to set the latency, but I have not solved the problem. Even my friend who uses logic has the same problem.
    For to remove all doubt, I tried the same operation in another work platform (Cubase 5), but the problem does not exist.
    Please help me, thank you very much. Fil

    Hey Artkeys,
    I have the same problem here!
    I have Logic Pro 8 installed on my Imac and untill now it worked just fine with my Emagic MT4 midi interface. Now this morning I openend logic and the same error you get popped up: "Logic Pro has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party MIDI or audio drivers"
    Did u figure out yet what to do to get it to work again?

  • Logic Pro 10.1.0 update. automation and external midi tracks issues

    Hi there,
    After i i installed the update I am having some issues with transferring automation to region/track and viceversa + othe issues in creating GM external midi tracks...
    anybody else experiencing the same?
    Marco

    Yes, that behavior is really odd indeed. Never experienced that and never heard of it.
    There are two possibilities:
    Something Corrupted
    This is a long shot, but you never know when bits get tangled up somewhere and cause the weirdest things. As Nigel pointed out, start with the Preferences file.
    Another step is to log in to a different user (if possible) and play around to see if you get the same behavior. If not, then it would point to a user file on your user directory, possibly corrupted. You wouldn't still know which one, but at least you narrowed it down and can keep on looking (and hopefully eliminating)
    Pilot Error
    As Nigel pointed out, there could be a combination how you do the editing which we don't see at the moment. Couple of things that come to mind
    Aliases: This is only thing I can think of that "remotely" delete other Events, but you don't mention that you use Aliases (or do you?)
    Are you doing the edits in the Piano Roll? If you have "Selected Region" selected in the Local View Menu (instead of the "One Track" option), then the following would be technically possible. Selecting Events in a Region and then going to a different Region keeps those Events selected. If you would go to the Piano Roll and  and delete the visible Events, then technically some other Events form other (selected) Regions that are "out of side" but still selected could be deleted too. This is a little bit far fetched but technically possible.
    Can you "Track Protect" the MIDI Tracks and only unprotect them when you are editing? This prohibits deleting of Events in those Region manually, and hopefully also those automatic deletion. I know this would be only a "band aid" solution, but if it works to avoid having notes deleted, it gives you time to search for the real culprit.
    Hope that helps

  • I am trying to get sound from the MIDI output from an analogue synth (Prophet 08) as an External MIDI track in Logic Pro 8

    I route the signal via an Edirol UA-25. I open a new project, new track and specify it as an External MIDI track. While the indicator light next to the Mute button blinks when I press a key, there is no sound.
    Can you help me, please. I have read the manuals, to no avail...

    David,
    Learning is not a bad thing, I'm just saying what you thought MIDI did is in error, you're not the first.
    Here's an article explaining what MIDI is and how it works, it probably seems less than you thought it capable of but the fact is, since it's standardization in 1983 it completely revolutionized electronic music. By the Way, the designers of the Prophet 8 (Dave Smith & Sequential Circuits) had a lot of input into the MIDI protocol, in fact, if you had to say one company/person came up with the basics of MIDI it was Sequential Circuits. They also came up with the first polyphonic, fully programmable analog synth. I had a very basic MIDI studio at the end of 1984.

  • Error: Logical end-of-file reached during read operation. Result Code = -39

    Hello all,
    Recently, I have been suddenly getting this error message:
    "Logical end-of-file reached during read operation. Result Code = -39."
    In my case, when it does come up, it always pops up during the recording of an audio take. Almost immediately after hitting the stop button, this error message would pop up. And then when I go to check the take that was just recorded, there is nothing but shrieking noise. As a result, this pop up error trashes any good take I may have had. It's unpredictable as to when this error decides to pop up as well. So now, when I record, I tend to just have my fingers crossed and hope that this error doesn't pop up especially right after recording a good take!
    To no avail, I have tried different I/O buffer settings, repaired permissions, rebooted, and even re-formatted my recording hard disk.
    Could this be a possible hint that my hard disk is about to physically collapse? I have had it for about 2 years. Could it be some sort of bug in Logic? Or something else perhaps?
    Appreciate any feedback! Thanks a lot!

    Thanks for those suggestions Erik...
    It's been happening for a month I guess and I don't think that anything new's been installed. I will try recording to the start up disc and to maybe to some USB discs I have.
    It seems to happen after working on a project for some time.
    After say tracking takes for 45 mins or so. Maybe it's just coincidence, but do you think that might indicate a hardware issue?
    Now there might be a clue. What happens when you then quit Logic, reboot your Mac, and reopen the active session? It might be that your disk has become a bit messy from all the traffic, and it just needs to 'settle' in OS X again. Click on the *Spotlight icon* top right of your screen and see if any indexing is taking place. Wait for it to finish before launching Logic.
    Alternatively, you could exclude your recording disk from Spotlight indexing alltogether, by dragging the disk to the Privacy field in the Spotlight Sysprefpane.
    One other thing to do: turn off Journaling , using *Disk Utility.* Select your recording volume in Disk Utility, hold the alt key while dropping down the File menu. Choose *Disable Journaling.*
    On the other hand, it might also point to a RAM issue. Do you ever suffer Kernel panics (=the darkening 'curtain' and the message "You need to restart your Mac... etc")? or 'unexplained' crashes? If not or very rarely, I'ld rule out a RAM issue. If daily, it could be. What you can try in this case is to turn of your Mac and physically take out and reinsert your RAM.
    And when you trash (=eject/unmount), physically disconnect and reconnect your recording disk? Does that help? (Logic should not be running when you do this)

  • Exporting/importing midi tracks

    I have tried exporting midi, in both formats, from Cubase VST/24 v4.1 using the export menu option then importing into Logic, but nothing shows up in my logic tracks except empty regions. I have been careful to select and export individual tracks, then to select a midi track for import and follow Logic instructions, but I have had no success. Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong or tell me exactly how this is done so I can compare it with my procedures? Seems like it should be a simple matter.

    Are you sure that the regions that you are exporting contain note data? You should be able to play a standard midi file in iTunes and QuickTime. Try that to verify that, yes, you did export things correctly.
    To get a MIDI file into Logic, you can either import it using the File menu, or you can set up an instrument(s) and drag the file into the Arrange window.

  • HELP HELP HELP!  Hidden midi track or something!

    Hey okay, so here's my STUPID dilemma.  I'm so stuck.
    Im in the process of working on Putting all 6 of my songs into one big project file, this way all the settings, tracks, eq's everything are perfectly the same from song to song so my mastering process can be more universal. 
    ANYWAY.
    Upon dragging and dropping one of the songs into my main project.  (from one open project to another open project)
    Apparently the drum track  (which is one midi track)  from the third song... is now like EMBEDDED, hidden about midway through song 2.
    So when I'm playing the whole thing, it goes nicely through song 1, nicely through about half of song2... then the drum track from song 3 pops in randomly ONTOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE. 
    the thing is... theres NO SIGN OF IT ANYWHERE.  I cannot find the track.  Its not on a hidden track.  Its just like secretly embedded into the project.  I've even DELETED the midi thats SUPPOSED to be playing at that time.  And it still just playyyyyyyyyys and plays this stupid track.
    Does anyone possibly have any ideas?
    I cant find it in the bin, because it doesnt store MIDI tracks there.  is there a bin for all the midi info?  That could work if it appears.
    Otherwise is there a secret way to like, Show any hidden info or anything? 
    IM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FRUSTRATED!
    HELP HELP HELP!                  

    Hi
    It might be worth taking a look at the Mixer layer in the Environment to see if you can track down which Instrument Channel is playing?<edit> Could be an Ultrabeat with the Sequencer on?

  • How can I do a simple MIDI track (no virtual instrument)?

    I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out how to do a simple MIDI recording. So far as I can tell, I can only record MIDI data if I select a virtual instrument for the MIDI track. When I used to use Cubase, I could just record the straight MIDI signal without having to select an "output" for it, and then load up whatever instrument I wanted to use later. Can I do that with Logic 9? I record some MIDI stuff live, and I'd like to not have to bog down my machine with running live virtual instruments.
    Mainly what I'm doing is recording the MIDI data of a set of VDrums, so that when I get to mixing later on, I can trash the crappy v-drum sounds and use DFH Superior for my drums.
    Much thanks for any advice ahead of time!

    Cool. I'll check this out and see if it's that easy for me. i feel like I tried that, but it wouldn't show any signal until I inserted a virtual instrument. I'll try again and make sure I do it right.
    What we're doing while playing live is using the Roland Vdrum sounds live (and recording the vdrum sounds themselves, as well), and also recording the MIDI data to a MIDI track. Later during mixing, I'll mute all the vdrum audio and pipe the MIDI track through DFH Sup. I have a v-drum preset I can then apply so that the MIDI data will trigger the software correctly. In the studio, I use DFH and listen to it during recording.

  • Plain Old Fashioned Midi Tracks?

    Hi Everyone,
    I just installed Toontrack's EZDrummer (great programme by the way) and to create a multi-layered percussion part you need several extra midi tracks. However, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to create them. In Cubase, for example, you'd just go to 'Create Multiple' and it gives you the option of Audio or Midi. However, in Logic that's not available. Someone suggested that I create mutliple Audio Instruments but when I route them to EZDrummer, as you know, it seems to create more instances of the plugin. I know it makes it seem like I'm an idiot that I can't figure this out but until now, I never had to (create Midi tracks that is--not seem like an idiot, that's an every day occurance). Thanks for everyone's help in advance as always.

    I'm not sure of your question, or what you're trying to do.
    To set up EZD in Logic, create a multi-channel instance of EZD on an Instrument track. After selecting MultiChannel in EZD's mixer, set up multiple stereo AUX tracks in your Logic environment, and assign them to
    Aux 1 = EZD 3&4
    Aux 2 = EZD 5&6
    Aux 3 = EZD 7&8
    and so on.
    But perhaps you already knew that, and you want additional, separate, instances of EZD, perhaps to create more controllable cymbal tracks, or use a parts from a different drum kit, giving you 'layers' which might be what you're looking for.
    Just set up another EZD on a separate Instrument track, but this time as a stereo instrument. In the EZD mixer, mute the tracks that you don't want. Drag out a MIDI part from EZD's interface and drop it on your track.
    Typically, there will only be MIDI regions on the instrument track for each instance of EZD, on it's instrument track. The AUXs have nothing on them in the arrangement window - they're just used to play the separated output channels from EZD.
    The MIDI regions can be freely edited by double-clicking on them.
    I hope this helps - for some reason I'm having trouble envisioning what you're looking for.
