LPX channel strip presets missing (but L9 Legacy strips are showing!)

Hi Guys,
I would be grateful for any advice on something that seems to have gone a little wrong with my LPX installation...
Prior to installing LPX, I removed Logic Pro 9 completely (using instructions from Eriksimon to ensure that all L9-related folders had been removed). I then went ahead and installed LPX, including the "Legacy" downloads to support L9 settings.
I now have a strange situation where the LPX channel strip presets are not showing up in the "Setting" menu found at the top of each channel. However, they are showing up when I show the Library view!
In both views, the L9 "Legacy" settings ARE showing up!
I've taken some screen shots to better illustrate what I am seeing:
1. Here's what I see when I click on the "settings" button of a channel. I've gone into the subsequent menu levels just to show what comes next.
The concern I have is that in that first menu, I am expecting to see the channel strip "categories" for LPX, but all I am seeing there is a single "Legacy" category (containing all the L9 presets:
2. Here's what I see when I click on a channel and then open the Library. When I do this, it appears that all the LPX channel strip categories do show up...
(This suggests to me that the channel strip content for LPX has downloaded successfully, but for some reason it's only appearing in the library, not the settings menu itself)
3. Out of interest, I also tried clicking OPTION+Settings, which I would usually expect to show all strip presets (rather than limiting to track type)... again, when I do this, each of the categories is only offering the "Legacy" content, not the LPX content:
I'm not quite sure what's going wrong.
I am pretty confident that this is not due to the fact that I completely removed L9 before installing LPX - because all the L9 Legacy content is showing up fine, it's the LPX settings that appear only in the Library, and not the channel strip settings menu itself.
If anyone has any thoughts on what's happenening, or a possible way to resolve this, I'd be very grateful!
Cheers,
Mike

Hi all,
I've just had a chance to check out a Friend's installation of LPX - it seems that what I have described above is the way LPX handles presets... rather than showing the categories and sub-categories when you click on the "Settings" button in a channel, this is all now managed within the library.
Hope this is of help to anyone else coming from an earlier version of Logic Pro!
Cheers,
Mike

  • Instrument Plugins No longer show up in the Channel Strip Area?

    I’ve been working with Mainstage 3 quite extensively now.
    OS X Version 10.8.5
    It’s been incredible and I really love the program.
    Just Today, I noticed the instrument plug-ins don’t show up in the
    channel strip area. Only the Audio and Mide FX plugins.
    I tried the View dropdown menu list options
    Where it says “Hide Plugins” with a “V” shortcut only,
    But it doesn’t change anything, either way.
    I tried re-booting the computer. starting a new concert, new patch with channel strip, etc.
    Luckily, everything I programmed still works, but I can no longer edit anything anymore.
    So the instrument plugins are still working, but I don’t see them in the Channel Strip area.
    Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!!

    In edit mode, try pressing command>6(for future reference, command>5 toggles the screen control inspector).

  • Firefox is running, but no windows/tabs are showing - what gives?

    Firefox12, iMac i5, Snow Leopard 10.6.8, 16GB RAM, 2TB drive.
    Firefox worked fine this morning. This afternoon, when it fires up, no windows/tabs show up ... just the menu.
    I know that the windows are working - a video link that I clicked on in my Mail begins playing. I can hear it. Just can't see anything.
    I've tried opening a new window - nothing happens. I've tried restarting after turning off all Add-ins. Same result.
    Tried opening the FF prefs but nothing shows up. All I can see is the FF menu - nothing else shows up.
    I've tried the History menu - to restore all tabs etc etc ... no difference. I can only see the menu.
    This is so weird and I have no idea what to do.
    Any suggestions/ideas??

    That is weird. Do you maybe have a window minimized to the dock or in another space? Have you tried restarting the whole computer?

  • Purchased a Season of a TV show, but the last episodes are showing up as needing to be purchased again?

    Out of curiosity, I purchased Season 1 of The Devils Ride. At the time, there were only 3 episodes. I was notified when episode 4 became available and was able to download / watch the episode without problem, but since then there have been 2 new episodes, and those 2 are not available for download.... rather they have an individual purchase price listed nex to them. However, the season is being shown as "purchased" in the itunes store.
    What the heck is that about? How can I purchase as season, have iTunes say "this season is purchased' but then when I look at the listings for the episodes, it seems I have to buy the last few episodes on their own.
    Is there anyway to get the store to register the fact that I purchased access to the whole season? I'm kind of frustrated that iTunes thinks I need to buy these individual eppisodes even though the season is clearly being registered as purchased.
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • Saved user patch not saving aux send channel strip settings?

    Hi all,
    I was reading the 'Using and saving patches" article in the manual and came across this quote:
    "patches also save any aux channel sends that are needed to reproduce the complete patch,"
    I was extremely excited and tried to create my own patch. My User Patch saves, and the aux send amounts are in the main channel strip, but the actual bus channel strips are not created.
    I noticed that other logic patches actually create the bus strips with their predefined settings when you load them, but I can't seem to get my user patches to do this. Am I missing a step when I save my patch?
    Thanks in advance!
    Robert
    P.S. - if it's useful, I am using Logic 10.0.7 on OSX 10.8.5 on a mid-2012 15" MBP Retina

    Just thought I might bump this topic since I have the same problem.  Any suggestions on a solution would be greatly appreciated!

  • Solo Button in Channel Strip with Red Line

    Solo Button in Channel Strip with Red Line through it and it won't solo?
    How'd it happen and how do you get rid of it?
    Thanks!

    Try This----From the Manual
    Logic Pro, Express: Solo Safe mode may not remain disabled for a particular channel strip
    Symptoms
    In certain projects, "Solo Safe" mode for a channel strip may enable each time you load the project, even after you disable it and save the project.
    Resolution
    When a channel strip in Logic is "Solo Safe", it remains audible, even when other channel strips are soloed. Solo Safe is indicated by a diagonal red line through the solo button on a channel strip.
    You can manually toggle the solo safe status of a channel strip by Control-clicking its solo button. There are times when you may find that a particular audio channel strip in a project reverts to solo safe mode when you load the project, even after you manually disable solo safe. Here is why that may happen and steps you can take to prevent it from occurring.
    A Logic project contains a special audio channel strip used for pre-listening to audio in the Sample Edit window, Audio Bin, and Loop Browser. When you create a Logic project from one of the factory templates, this channel strip is assigned to "Audio 256". This channel strip stays in solo safe mode so that you can always preview audio. The image below shows the channel strip for a new, empty project.
    If there is no audio channel strip in a project assigned to "Audio 256", Logic will use the highest-numbered available audio channel for pre-listening. When the project is loaded, that channel strip will be put into solo safe mode. You may find this happens in older projects that you open in Logic 8, or in cases where you have deleted the "Audio 256" channel strip in a Logic 8 project. To prevent this from affecting channel strips you are using in a project's arrangement, follow these steps:
    Choose Window > Environment.
    From the Environment window menu, choose New > Channel Strip > Auxiliary. A channel strip will appear in the environment.
    Select the channel strip. It will highlight.
    In the Device parameter box in the upper left of the Environment window, click the arrows to the right of "Channel" and choose Audio > Audio 256 from the menu.
    Select the text tool, click on the name below the channel strip and name it "Prelisten".

  • A problem with channel strip outputs in Logic Pro 8

    I have a Power Mac G5 2.3GHz dual core processor with 2GB memory, running LogicPro 8 connected to a MOTU 2408 Mk3. I originally assigned the outputs on the individual channel strips on my Logic default work page to the individual outputs on the MOTU, (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.,) as this is the optimum configuration for the amount of channels required for the recording I do. Checking theses settings recently though, I find the menu only gives the option to set outputs to 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 & 7-8? What has happened and how can I change them back?
    Thanks  

    Sounds like your channel strips are stereo and not mono.
    Click on the little linked circle button (format button) in the bottom of the channel strip to set it's mode to MONO (single circle).
    If you have effect plugins inserted on the channel strip make sure they are mono and not stereo. (Click and hold on the effect on the insert slot and choose the mono instance of the plugin from the plugin menu).
    Hope that helps

  • Channel Strip Settings missing 'Legacy' option

    I am missing a large amount of options from my Channel strip settings drop down menu, a normal click gives me the following on a software instrument channel:
    When I hold alt and click I get the following:
    I am not being given the option 'Legacy' or other options I have seen being used from this menu. Is there a way to customise what options you can have in this menu, and if so where can I edit them?

    I´m having the same issue.

  • How can I get back all the factory channel strip presets?

    Hi Guys
    I have deleted some of the channel strip presets in Logic 8, is there any easy way of getting back all the original factory ones?
    Cheers,

    Hey there,
    Thanks for the quick reply!
    Once I find them, do I just drag them into a specific presets folder on the Mac? (if so, which folder?)
    Or can the installer be run just for the channel strip presets?
    I don't want to end up with duplicates by mistake, either!
    Thanks again,
    Mike
    Yes, you drag them over.
    Roght click on the installer packages on the DVDs, and click on the "show package conte4nts" button. This will open the installer package, then navigate until you find the presets. If you have several DVDs, it may take time to get to them, but they're there.
    You'll have to place them in your drive here :
    Macintosh HD / Library / Application Support / Logic /
    That is where all the presets are found. You might have to enter your admin password to copy them over.
    Cheers

  • LPX: Environment-mixer layer bug when moving channel strips

    Please test if you experience the same bug on your system: Open a LP9 song in LPX - go to Environment / Mixer layer - move a few channel strips a little. I tested on two computers and the channel strips jump to random locations. It doesn't happen with all of them right away, so you might have to move a few of them initially. But eventually (after a minute max) most if not all exhibit this behavior.
    I also had this happen in new LPX songs.
    Please let me know if you are able to reproduce this.

    Right Jeanne, should have realized.
    A good workaround for this, if you want to see the mask as you move or transform, is to just hit the backslash key to see the rubylith of the alpha channel. That displays correctly.

  • ALL VOLUMES IN ONE PRESET/CHANNEL STRIP

    When mixing, is it possible within one song, to save all volumes from both audio and virtual instrument tracks as a preset in one channel strip. And then to be able to flip to another preset for a different set of volumes?
    This only pertains to stationary track volumes and not pan etc.
    Many thanks
    Jonathan

    No you can't save dynamic changes over time into a channelstrip. Channelstrip settings are static presets containing Plug In settings but not their automation over time.
    You could export your automated volume as a Midi file and then drag it onto a copy of of your track so it will get affected by the Midi volume changes stored into that Midi file.
    Open any automation event list with a keycommand - close your current Arrange page - open a new Arrange page - you will now see a page with all the automation regions containing the data for each track. Make a selection and use "export as Midi file" - reopen your normal Arrange page and import the Midi files you just created.
    That's one way I can think of - not really an elegant way of doing this sort of thing though...
    The other way would be to just copy the track's automation folder to a new track and adjust the Midi channel in the Midi event list if needed
    or
    on Instrument tracks make a duplicate channel - copy the Midi region together with the automation and change the Instrument Plug In

  • Channel strip "settings" for aux or main out  ... not showing in Library

    Hi Guys
    One of the things I love about the "settings" box at the top of each audio channel is that you can click on it, and then use the Library list on the right of the screen to pick through the settings and even try them out in real time...
    I want to do the same thing for some of my Aux channels or even sometimes the Main Out channel, but there doesn't seem to be a way of clicking on the "settings" button for these channels and seeing what's available for them in the Library.
    Does anyone know what I'm missing here? At the moment I seem to have to HOLD the settings button, and then choose from the category and then choose the effect. Which is fine if you know what you're looking for, but if you want to just go through various effects and try them while the song plays, this is kind of tedious.
    If you can shed light on this, that would be awesome!
    Cheers,
    Mike
    PS - 8 days in to my switch from Cubase 4 to Logic 8 and the initial feeling of "what have I done? I feel lost, bring back Cubase" has turned into "Why didn't I do this sooner?!"... Logic is AMAZING! And Cubase now seems so clumsy...

    Hey Jorge,
    Thanks for the reply - yep, it's cool to be able to save strip settings for aux strips and for the main out as well, to make "my" sound and keep my songs consistent.
    However there are some really great pre-set settings for these strips. They can be accessed the "slow" way by holding the "Setting" box at the top of the strip, and then choosing a category and from there a preset.
    But I really want to be able to go through these preset strips quickly by using the Library... you can do this for normal audio channels, and it's great to say be able to click through "bass" presets one after the other while your bass audio track is playing...
    But for the aux and settings strips, I can't get the "settings" to show up as a list in the Library...
    Does anyone know how this is done?!
    Cheers and thanks,
    Mike

  • Logic Channel Strip Instruments no longer open after Logic 8 upgrade

    I upgraded Logic 8.0 to 8.0.1 and now none of the preset Logic Channel strip instruments will open. I can open all of the instruments on their own no problem. But if I select something from one of their saved presets or an instrument that I've saved, it does nothing, just hangs. There's no beach ball or logic not responding. When you do force quit, it quits logic and then upon a restart of the system, the system just freezes too. This is really frustrating because I've save a lot of my own instruments and can't get to them now. This happen in a previous session and a new session started from scratch with the upgrade. I can access all of my saved audio channel strips. Has anyone encountered this? One more bit of frustration and impediment to my work flow. Thanks, Jeff.

    I've also trouble with that Channel Strips. I've saved and closed a Song with some Mastering-Plugs in the Output 1-2 ( also Stereo Sum ) and after I reloaded that song, there wasn't no Plug anymore. So all my work was gone and I am also very frustrated.
    The next big Problem is working with folders. I've in most of my songs folder of MIDI and Singers and when I am working with this songs on Logic 8, I got many failure in the view of waveforms and regions.
    Sometimes regions doesn't play anymore when I switched between folders in the song. That nervs me up the whole time ...
    Maybe someone can help or can tell me that's why we get ProKit 4.5

  • Re: Shared Channel Strip settings, Plug-in settings...

    Hi all,
    Has anyone gotten into shared Channel Strip settings and Plug-in settings? I read that there are multiple ways of doing this (bonjour). Just wondering if there are any good places on the net that anyone knows of.
    I know it's always best to make settings to work with whatever material you're working on but I would like to hear/see what others are doing or to have a point of reference. Plus, I wouldn’t mind getting a good slap back delay. Or some solid synth leads...
