Looping Menu Jumps To Track

Hi- Can someone please walk me through setting up a script where the menu will count the number of times it's looped and if it reaches a certain number (say 4) it then jumps to play a track? To make this a bit harder, what I'd like to do is when the end of the menu is reached I want it to jump back to the looping point of the menu, not the beginning- makes it hard for me to also understand what the script links to and from.
Thanks
Robert

Hi Robert,
Set the menu timeout to a script.
add GPRM 0, 1 //adds 1 to the register.
Jump Track 1 if (GPRM 0 = 4) //if the value in the register is 4 then jump to the track.
Jump Menu 1(Loop) //otherwise jump to the menu at the loop point.
Hope that helps a bit,
-Jake

Main Menu Audio - Multiple tracks play randomly aka shuffle?

I've noticed in Inspector that I can at least add more than one track to the menu audio section, but is there any way to designate the music to play on shuffle, so that each time the main menu loads (or each time the disc itself is loaded) that it doesn't always play the same menu audio?
Thanks!

I'll take a crack at this. Is this going to also going to randomize the menu on startup as well, or just after a track is played and ends? (And while on the thought, is this also going to randomize if someone hits "Menu" during the middle of playing a track?)
Usually it is best ot to start immediately with a menu, something like a track with 5 seconds of black works well, but then send the end jump to the same script. You can also assign the menu command for tracks to jump to the same script. Take a look [here|http://dvdstepbystep.com/trackmarkers.php] (press F3 key to get the general view), and highlight the track and you will see menu commands for the track and each marker in the track. Set the menu to go to the script....

Menu jump to menu

Is there a way to make a menu jump to another menu after a certain amount of time? I want one menu to hold for about 20 seconds of audio then when audio is complete I would like it to automatically jump to another menu.
thanks

-Set your menu with the audio for a duration of 20 sec ( assuming thats about the length of the audio clip when u want the menu to jump)
- Then right below duration u should see "At End: Loop"
- Change "Loop" to "Timeout" and 1 sec
-jus to the right of that you should see "Action:"
- Set your "action" to whatever menu you want it to jump to
( jus as if u were connecting any other menu)
- then simulate to see if ur satisfied
( u can also add transition as well)
hope that soled your question
P.S u might have to play with the duration setting
( i tested with a 15 sec audio but it jumped around 14 sec so keep that in mind and simulate jus to be sure)

Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault. And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

When I drag a loop into the arrange area, it sounds completely different from how it sounds in the loop menu. What am I doing wrong. (I've started using Logic 9 today)

When I drag a loop into my arrange area, it no longer sounds the way it did in my loops menu.

Hi, do you mean song key wise not sounding the same? Then this might be the reason:
Also you might find some interesting facts over here:

Apple Loops not dropping onto track area

I hope someone can help. I just upgraded to GB 11 and downloaded over a gig of apple loops. But whenever I drag a loop onto the blank track area it absolutely will not drop and creat the track as it is supposed to. I can demo all loops, and I can drag one over, but it "sticks" to my cursor and will not drop.
I have a MB Pro 2.4 GHz with 8GB ram, running OS X 10.6.8
Anybody know a possible solution to my problem?
Thank you.

Weird. The same thing just started happening to me, but the loop sticks to my cursor and won't drop. I have to force-quit GB for christ sake. As I write this I see the small title of the loop superimposed onto my Safari window. What a weird glitch.

Total frustration, Spry Sub Menu jumps to top of page in IE 7.

I am a newbie to Divs and spry menus, tring to put together a site for the local sports club. Have created a spry menu and have problems in IE browsers. In IE 7 the sub menu jumps to the top of the page. In IE 8 the submenu covers the main button/menu when you hover over it, instead of dropping down, also side image next to spry menu jumps out of Div. Works fine in Firefox. Have upgraded Spry to 1.61. Here is address of site    http://www.pascoevalesc.org.au/.

G'day Mate,
You are not using the latest Spry files
The latest version of the Adobe Spry Framework is 1.6.1, this is the same version that ships with Dreamweaver CS4. If you use Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry 1.4), its wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can easily be done using the Spry Updater that can be found here.

Loop length for multiple tracks

Is there a way to set the length of loop repitition, for different tracks?
I tried this the other day, with two tracks that I set up to loop, and when I adjusted the loop length in the top of the arrange window, both tracks were affected.
I want to have one track loop 5 measures, and the second track only 3 but am not sure how to do that.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
RH3906

This is how I do it. Select the track, click on the midi/audio file you have dragged to the track. Then click the 'loop' check box (top left). This will loop the sample all the way to the 'end'. Now simply hover your pointer over where each loop sample is joined and the pointer should change to a different icon - kind of an arrow in a half loop. Now if you click on the sample when you have this pointer you can now drag back and forth where you want the loop to end. Do this for the other track, you can choose how many bars you want it to loop.
What you cant do is set up a loop all the way to the end and make 'holes', that is parts where the loop doesn't happen.
If you want a loop to start again in a different place, simply drag the sample to the new starting location and repeat above.
Hope this helps.

How to make it jump back to previous menu while playing track

Can I simply set some kind of back button to go back to the menu it was at before the track began playing? I have two detailed menus in addition to the main menu, and want to go back to the detailed menu rather than the main one. I'd still like her to be able to hit 'menu' and go to the main menu when she wants it though. Maybe this is staring me in the face and I'm missing it but I'm not sure how to do this.

What you would normally do is set the menu command for the track to a script which sends the user back to the menu where they pressed the button to go to the track
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4642794&#4642794
Or you can use stories.
http://dvdstepbystep.com/stories.php
I am not sure what you mean by the back button? You can set commands for various things but you need to decide how you want to implement this.
Normally people will use menu command to go back to the calling menu and not the main menu and you can perhaps route the title remote command to the main menu.

Menu jumping to the beginning

I've created a randomised menu using a script that chooses one of 10 menus at random. This is all fine except that when a new menu loads the button reverts back to the beginning each time, is there anyway to stop this?
Any help would be great.

Not sure what you mean that the buttons reverts back to the beginning.
You can set which button is the selected one, which track to jump to when the button is selected, to target the loop point in the menu, etc.

Creating Menu items on Track

I'm creating a music DVD for a school project. The Main Menu has a Play All and Select Song featuring music from the band I recorded. My professor has requested that, for the songs, he be able to navigate using buttons between songs. Basically I set up a track with chapter marks dividing the different songs and the Chapter Skip key works on a remote, but he wants to be able to see which button he is pressing, as in "Previous, Back to Menu and Next."
Does anybody have a solution to this?

If I understand you correctly
Just make onscreen buttons, and create navigation for each one that jumps to a specific song, the next or the previous one.
Add a Main Menu button on screen as well.
Look in the manual regarding navigation.
Read The Fine Manual, within it is power.

How do I ignore end jumps on tracks?

I put end jumps on my tracks to get viewers back to one of the submenus that they chose the track from, but I want a play all function as well. How do I get all the tracks to play all the way through without them jumping back to a menu?

Stories or scripts, stories probably easier

Activate Buttons before Loop menu

Can I have the buttons functional before the background goes into a loop? Thanks.

Erik:
Your buttons overlay will become active at the Loop Point time, not before.
I'm not sure what you want to get but I presume you have a backgorund video with some INTRO and then the LOOPING part, but you want buttons get activated at time 00:00 but you want the menu Loop at i.e. time 05:00 secs.
If so, you can get such effect building 2 independen menus.
In teh first, use the full background video (INTRO + LOOPING parts) setting no looping point (00:00). Set the menu properties to auto Jump to the second menu.
Duplicate it with exact same buttons layout but this time use as background just the LOOPING part of your video. Again set the loop point to 00:00 and leave this menu looping on itself.
Hope that makes sense ! ;D

Audio and Midi Jumping/Swithching Tracks in Arrange Window

I've had an issue with audio and Midi information switching tracks in the arrange window. Granted, I'm new with Logic. But as I'm working in an audio Track (let's say track 3), I happen to undo a record pass or delete something, and the next thing I know, all the tracks have jumped up one -- so the Midi drums in track 10 are in nine, playing the piano insert. The Midi Piano is up in 8 doing nothing (because track 8 is an audio track), etc. etc. etc. Very annoying -- even when the tracks are frozen.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

I've had this happen in the past.
What version of Logic are you working on?

Menu jumps around in preview mode

Hi there,
Very happy with the latest november 2013 update! I'm working on a dropdown-menu in a masterpage and when i preview the content (of a couple of sections) jumps down and to the right.
When i go back to the design mode i change the size of the dropdown container (? or how do you call this) and it's fixed, only now another section jumps!!!!
Weird!
Can anyone tell me what to do?
I'll show some pictures to explain better.
thanks in advance for helping out.
bart

Hi Vikas,
You have the file i'm working on and i have an other problem i can't fix. (also nobody on the forum can help)
On different pages when i'm designing everything lines up, but when i publish there is a gap between elements. Sometimes it's big, sometimes small.
Not all the pages have this and there doesn't seem to be a problem with overlapping elements.
First image: this is in designing mode in Muse:
Second image: on Firefox - of the same part of the page:
This is in the "lijnsoort" page. It also appears on the "lijn", "compositie", "vorm" and "vormaspecten" (halfway the page).
Since you already have my file, would you mind taking a look? I really don't get this problem...
Thanks in advance,
bart
