Losing midi information when splitting tracks

is anyone having issues with Garageband cutting out MIDI informatino when you are trying to split the track?

It usually happens, If I am cutting the track right through a long note. Then the note usually will be clipped or deleted and not split.
Like in the screenshot below: After splitting the Cello Track, the right part of the long notes is missing. If I need the notes to continue I copy them in the Track editor to the position after the split and adjust the length and velocity.
In which situations does it happen to you?

Losing midi information at the spli

I am trying to split my real instrument track, but am losing a measure worth of midi information at the split point... does anybody know the reason for this?

you're going to have to explain what you're doing in more detail, there is no MIDI information on a "real" track

Is there a way to show/reveal the piano roll (or score) from a midi input when recording an audio track in Logic 9?

I'm trying to record audio tracks in Logic 9 over midi tracks I've created using a software instrument. I've done this before, and there used to be a no problem in seeing the midi information in the piano roll or the score while recording audio tracks, but it now impossible to reveal. Has ayone else exerienced this? Was there a change (update) that eliminated that as an option? Or did I do something in preferences somewhere (unbeknownst to me when doing it) that has caused this? Thanks for any suggestions.

Just open the piano roll fro the regions you want and deselect the chain icon at the upper left.

I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

When I try to open a project, the only option for a new track is for external MIDI device; when I try to open an audio or software instrument track, I get an error message saying that "the specified number of tracks could not be created. Reduce the number of tracks to create and try again." I didn't specify ANY number of tracks. Thanks for help!

Ah.. then I suspect you just need to go to Logic's prefs/Audio and check CoreAudio...
It has been unchecked somehow...
Also.. as an aside.. Be careful not to create such large subject names in future when posting here.. They can cause issues with replying to posts in such threads.. due to a bug in the forum software.. so please keep them short and to the point...

Splitting midi commands among different tracks

Some time ago, someone posted a technique to split different midi parameters among different tracks in the arrange window. It was for an orchestral score, done this way to get tight control and automation on the parameters.
I've looked for that post for several days, but cannot find it. Does someone know who posted it?
I'd appreciate any help.

There are several ways to deal with this. If you are using something like BFD, Superior, etc - make a multi instance of the virtual instrument. In the VI assign each drum to a different output bus, then each drum will come up on a seperate channel in your mixer..
If you were using a stereo instance - would be to mute all drums, but the kick, and record that to audio, then the snare, hats, etc. One at a time, that way you have complete control over it. You can go back later, and replace the snare, change pitch etc. without disturbing the rest of the mix.

Midi Audio Cuts out when Playback tracks are triggered.

Hi,
I am having an issue where if I open Mainstage 2 and begin playing a Midi Sequence through a 3rd party Plug-in, the audio cuts out from the plug-in when I trigger my group of Playback tracks for the first time and only restarts when a new note is played. This is particularly a problem because the sound is arpegiated and continuous. 9 out of 10 times if I do it again right afterwards it will be fine without any issues at all. There was a time during rehearsal when it absolutely would not work, but I think a restart fixed it. CPU usage and memory usage do not seem to be the problem.
So my question is, is it normal for it to do that on the first time? Is there any reason why it would not absolutely work that time during rehearsal. And lastly, is there anyway to make it just work every time!
I have tried reading up on this, and from what I understand, putting each playback track on a separate patch might help. My issue with that is I have already designed a layout that fits everything on one screen in one patch. I don't want to be switching screens during a song to adjust levels for the playback tracks. I have One Vocal, One Midi Synth, 8 playback tracks, and 3 Aux strips.
I am new to mainstage and might not completely understand how to make a set work with patches, but from what I understand if I put the playback tracks on different patches I can't control everything from one screen.
Any thoughts, insights, or advice is greatly appreciated.

Logic has that issue at times as well- where the first notes of a midi passage may not play. I believe the timing is such that the note starts are actually slightly before the first beat. Check your starting notes to make sure that they are really starting on the first beat and not slightly before.

Split midi notenumbers to several tracks

First of all I'am new to Logic...
I record the MIDI from our drummers Roland TD-12 to a MIDI track in Logic.
Problem with this is that the complete kit is on 1 track... what I would like is to split the incoming MIDI info to diffetent tracks.
So that the hi-hat midi is on 1 track and the snare midi is on another, etc.
Can this be done?
If so than I'm able to process the tracks individualy with compression, eq and so on...
greetings,
Arjan

I think there is a preference to automatically demix by channel, which is in the "song settings". But I don't think you can do it by note. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not in front of Logic now.
In the former case, and if you don't need more than 16 tracks of this, then you can do it if you can assign different notes to different channels from the drumkit itself, or you can build an environment object to do it on Logic's input, but that's more complicated.
Logic is really not designed well to do multitrack midi recording. The ways you do it are kind of a workaround.

Logic Pro 9 randomly displaces midi information within a region.

Hey guys, hoping for some help here.
I have Logic Pro 9 and have been working with it for about two years now. For the past couple of months a really strange thing has been happening with midi information that is displayed in the region boxes. I do not play a midi instrument therefore I program it all in by hand and from time to time when I loop a region during playback the midi notes are transposed up and down at random intervals. The only solution that I have found has been to copy and paste individual regions, then go in and correct all the displaced notes. This is really time consuming. I have tried searching for a solution but this particular problem doesn't seem to pop up anywhere .
Has this happened with anyone else? Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this to happen, and if so how can I fix it? Maybe I pressed a button somewhere lol.
Thanks for listening!

Check either your Chord Track or your Transposition track.

Split track movies

Howdy,
already posted this over at LogicPro Help, apologies if I'm boring anyone.
I work in tv composing, and frequently get sent split track movies (temp music on one side, everything else on the other).
My current monitors (old Genelec 1029s) have a handy power stitch on the front, so I can switch off the temp side, and listen to my cue (in mono) in situ. But my new monitors (KH120s) have the power switch at the back.
So I was wondering, how do people deal with their split track qts? I know I can extract audio, but that seems too time consuming, as I start a new project for every cue, and its a nightmare lining up the audio every time. And I don't want the movie audio coming through the main outs.
Am I missing something really easy?
I guess I could pull a cable out of the duet each time, but that doesn't seem very elegant...
Thanks in advance

To mute the speaker in OSX, use the Audio Midi Setup app. There you can mute the left or right channel separately.
However, I wonder why you are not extracting the audio from the video. This is basic scoring workflow.
You do it only once when you start a show and each new cue is just a "save as" copy of the previous cue (project) so the video/audio track is already in place.
Once in Logic, You click-hold on the output icon (the double circle) and you can just select the left or right channel. I usually create two audio tracks with same copy of the split track audio file and have one selected to play only the left channel (dialog) and the other one to play the right channel (temp). Now they are technically two independent mono track (that you can pan left to right)
This gives you complete mixing controls (if you have an external controller) for this tracks: solo, mute, eq, etc. Sometimes the production track has problems that you can fix (with automation) so it doesn't bother you when scoring with the dialog.
Screener. Don't you have to make screeners, little quicktime files of you cues to send to the director/producer for approval? Having the dialog on a track in your project, you can quickly make a decent mix, even for your own show reel.
Routing. Usually I have the dialog and temp tracks routed directly to a different channel on my audio interface, so it doesn't go through my master bus. This way they don't show up on the bounce and don't mess up my meters that I monitor constantly. Just for the export video procedure, I route them to the master bus.
Hope that helps

Playing split track as mono

I am a choir director and I use my ipod daily for classroom use. I have a lot of performance CD's that are split track (voices on one side, instruments on the other). Is there any way to change the settings on my ipod to play just one side of the split track? I am only using a single speaker, so unplugging one speaker, will not solve my problem. I have looked under the EQ settings and could not find a balance anywhere.

HT1711 I have over 100 songs I bought back before mid-2009 when Apple dropped this DRM thing. If I want to play those songs on Sonos, the ONLY way to do so is pay Apple another $25/year for iTunes Match and re-download them??

I have a Sonos system in my house and suddenly discovered that many songs I bought off of iTunes years ago are 'grayed out' when I try to play them from my iPhone or do not appear as options at all when I try to play them on Sonos from my overall music library. It's well over 100 songs I bought back before mid-2009 when Apple dropped this DRM thing. From what I think I am reading, if I want to play those songs on Sonos, the ONLY way to do so is pay Apple another $25/year for iTunes Match (which I don't have any interest in) and then re-download them all in iTunes Plus format??

Matt,
I agree it was not all communicated real well, but in your case it will work out. You missed the program where you could have upgraded 100 tracks for 30 cents each (=$30) but now you can do it via Match (=$25). It works pretty simply, per this document:
Can I upgrade my previously purchased music to iTunes Plus?
Yes. If you subscribe to iTunes Match, you can download your previously purchased music again in the iTunes Plus format. To do so:
You need to delete the original DRM song from your library first. Doing this enables you to download the song again in the iTunes Plus format from iTunes in the Cloud.
Click the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store.
Click Music.
Locate the artist of the song you want to upgrade.
Click the iCloud Download icon next to the song you want to upgrade.
Just don't forget to put the Plus files on your hard drive -- properly backed up of course -- and to cancel the Match subscription before the second year rolls around!

Can you use midi sounds when recording videos on Photobooth?

Can you use midi sounds when recording videos on Photobooth?
Basically, i like to record videos of me singing and playing guitar or keyboard, but to get a good sound for the keyboard I'd like to be able to record the audio using MIDI sounds...
Ive got Logic, I've got M-Audio Fast Track Pro, into which i have my mic, guitar, and keyboard midi plaugged into. I can use it to record the mic and guitar on photobooth as they are audio inputs, however i can't use the midi sounds on the keyboard :/ I have tried having logic open with the desired MIDI sound selected whilst recording but it doesnt work...
Is there ANY way this is possible?
HELP PLEASE!
Thanks!

I Have just the same problem, if I shout very near the microphone i can just hear something, did you manage to solve the problem?

I received a shipment notification yet when I track it all I see is label created. Anyone else?

I received a shipment notification on Saturday. When I track it I only get "Label Created". I called Verizon Support and they are not able to get me any other information. They informed me it is sitting at a FedEx Location. Anyone else?

Dry it another 6 days and periodically change the rice. Then try:
Try:
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.    Clean/remove corrosion as necessary
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. Since you tried using it/charging before it way dry it is likely permanently damaged.

How do I properly split tracks? HELP!

I have a live continuous mix that I have recorded. All on 1 track. Everything has been mixed but I want to split the tracks. Is there an option other than cutting and just exporting the cuts? I'm afraid that would be rather tedious.
Is there an option similar to Adobe Audition with "Cue Marks" ? You were able to split tracks when exporting based on your cue points..
Thanks in advance!
