Max NUmber of Instrument Tracks Due to Rewire??

I have a template set up with 28 audio objects (that were previously instrument tracks) dedicated to rewire tracks (basically 14 pairs stereo bussed to an Aux). When i try to create a new audio object and assign it to an available instrument track, and then insert a soft synth, i cannot actually play the soft synth with my midi controller. i can step enter notes by creating a sequencer track, but as far as playing it manually from my Radium 49, no dice. My transport is not showing note-on values either. But i can play my rewire tracks just fine.
Am i doing something wrong here? Is it becuase i used all of my instrument tracks to create the 14 pairs for rewire? But if i create a new track (which creates an available audio track that i convert to an audio instruement track in the instrument paramater box in the arrange window) there are over 120 available instrument tracks for me to choose from!
i'm very confused - can anyone help? how can i add more instruement tracks for me to use in addition to my rewired tracks??
thanks

hey guys, i have a MOTU 24i interface and allen/heath board. with this setup i can record up to 24 separate "real instrument" tracks at once into my Mac Pro w/ 5GB ram and 500GB HD.
so i went to try this over the weekend for the first time and it seems that garageband limits the number of recording simultaneous tracks to 8?!!! i had 14 mics setup covering an entire band (drums, guitars, keys, vocals, etc.) only to find out that i had to narrow it down to 8 to satisfy garageband.
is this correct? why on earth they would limit it to 8 is beyond me. i have 7 mics on the drums alone!!!
any help appreciated on how to configure more tracks to record simultaneously with.
if GB cannot do this, can digital performer?
thanks!
Apple limits GB to 8 simultaneous inputs max as a way to distinguish it, as a free app, from Logic, which does not have this limit. All of the full-featured DAWS - Logic, DP, Protools - allow many-track recording.
If you have 7 mics on drums, you might want to send them into a stereo buss in your board so they will only take up 2 tracks in GB (submixing drums is not unheard of). That brings you down to 9 tracks so if you want to record in GB, you're almost there (1 more submix and it'll work).
Beyond that, though, if you're going to want to regularly record more than 8 tracks at once, you might want to consider moving to one of the fuller-featured DAWs.

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...

HELP! Maximum number of Software Instruments Tracks reached!

WHY IS THERE A LIMIT?! I've got 94 patches, but lots of layers and splits.
What is this limit and how can I get more software instrument tracks?!
I've been using it live for a few months, but this could be the endgame. =(
sk

So I'm running a fairly intense mainstage concert.
Macbook (black) 4gb ram, 2.4ghz CPU
My first 30 patches are various general sounds that get used a ton on cover-band/top 40 gigs. They include pianos, rhodes, b3's, pads, guitars, and that type of stuff.
Every one of those patches also has strings layered (I bring them in with a foot pedal) and breath control horns layered.
I have now moved those layers to Set level to reclaim some instrument channels. I'm having to do some less-than-pretty workarounds to make this work elegantly in live performance.
The other 60 sounds are layers and splits for specific songs (i.e.: Madonna Holiday, Jessie's Girl, all the way up to sounds for Britney's Gimme More, and Love Song by Sara Bareille).
Most of the time I have 2-3 sounds/layers I'm going between for each song, usually swapping with a foot pedal.
I also have a small bank of left hand bass + piano, organ, rhodes type patches with the same layered Strings and Horns as above.
I perform professionally with a dozen different event entertainment bands and acts. They are constantly adding and exchanging material. I need (1) mainstage file for all of them. I just can't go between files and constantly be needing to get to other instruments that I have to wait to load.
My load time for my file is a little under 60 seconds, and I'm using about 50-60 of my own EXS multisamples taken from my existing keyboard rig (I've got all the important sounds for most every tune I do on my Fantom, and have been sampling and adapting them to EXS24).
So, while 256 software instruments may appear unusual, once you consider the needs of a flexible professional using the software, 256 is quite a limiting number. I also don't usually see a set list ahead of time (a few bands I work with don't use set lists, they just call tunes) so the idea of building a set ahead of time is not practical nor feasible.
512 would last me for a long, long time. I'd probably eventually hit the limit, but it would be a couple years. 1024 seems like a reasonable maximum, especially if it's an arbitrary limit in code with no bearings on memory management, or any drastic engine-rewriting behavior.
PLEASE increase the limit. Nearing 256, Mainstage still runs snappy, I've got 1.5gigs of RAM open for additional samples. An arbitrary limit of 256 is just silly. Every keyboard out there has >1000 presets and sounds available. My Fantom-X allows me 64 internal performances (with 16 channels each) and 64 performances on a card. That's 2048 'instrument channels'.
Please!! I am addicted to the coolness of mainstage and I don't wanna go back to hardware. I just did a gig in Cancun and all I had to bring was my laptop.

Real-time 8.6 Remote panel connection exceeds max number of licenses- with no connections

I've been using the remote panel right along with no problems to connect to my Compact Fieldpoint. This morning I accidently opened the connection twice on the same computer and tripped the "Remote panel connection exceeds max number of licenses" error. Now it will not let me connect anymore from my computer. I've tried clearing cookies, cache and history in Internet Explorer and rebooting my computer. I've fired up the Remote Panel Connection Manager which shows no connections, and the NI License Information window does not show any connections which have been denied due to max # of clients being exceeded. Is there a way to reset this without having to reboot my RT controller? I'm running RT8.6 and LV 8.6 Full Dev System and understanding that it should come with 1 remote panel license.
Thanks

The boss wanted to see an updated feature, so I was forced to deploy a new version and reboot. Problem went away as I suspected it would.
I did manage to make the same mistake again this morning (launch the remote panel in 2 different MSIE windows) and after closing them both I could reconnect. Must be a glitch or a bug? It'd be interesting to see if anyone else has this problem. For now...solved, but it would be nice to see a way to fix this without rebooting.

Number of audio tracks

Hi everyone.
I'm using Core Audio Mac Os X with and apogee mini me. I've changed the number of audio tracks from 40 to 50 in my audio configuration window but when I try to create a new track after no. 40 by SHift Ctrl Return as normal: No New Track! SImilarly, in the scroll down list of possible tracks only forty are specified, not fifty as I have told the configuration panel I need. Does anyone have an idea how I can get more tracks, I need 'em right now!
Thanks in advance.
Ben.

Thanks a bunch, guys: That works!
If you've got a moment can you tell me one more thing...
Now I've got these new tracks, how can I make them come in between track 40 and Audio Instrument No.1 in my mixer...Right now, I've put them under tracks 1 - 10 ....
It's just a layout thing, but if you had a moment I'd appreciate it.
Thanks again!

System Overload with 6 audio tracks and 2 instrument tracks!!

Hello, this is my first post. I'm learning how to use Logic Pro 7.2.1. I had 6 audio tracks open and 2 instrument tracks. I press play and I get an error message saying there is a system overload. I'd also received this message with garageband and hardly any tracks, but before today I got the message once, clicked OK and then was able to continue.
Also in the transport window right underneath the tempo, my version had the number 201. I realized that I can increase this number of memory to 2158. But in the Apple Pro Training book by Peachpit press, I see screenshots of their transport window and they have 899,852.
After calling Apple it appears that this is a case which requires me to pay $199 to get help from them, but to me it is either a bone head mistake by me or a problem with my computer I imagine. I would really appreciate some help. Thank you.

I have got plenty of system overloads on my powerbook and I only had about the same amount of tracks you had. The way I overcame the problem is by first making sure that no other programs are running ( Just to be safe). Then you should freeze the tracks that you are not editing at the time so the audio engine does not have to process all of it in real time. You can freeze all the tracks if you wanted to but you can only edit the ones that are not frozen. The freeze button looks like a snowflake on each track. Just click it and hit play and it will take a second to process it and then you will not have to worry about that track taking up so much audio processing power. You can go to the view menu and make sure the Track Freeze Button is enabled so you can used it. Try it out it should help you out.

How do you record an external Midi Instrument + Software instrument track down to a combined Audio track ?

I have two piano sounds I'm trying to blend into one. One is an external MIDI module set up as an external instrument within Logic and the other is a software plugin instrument (Ivory II). I'm trying to record the blended pianos into a single audio track so I can ditch the midi track and more so the CPU intense software Instrument track (it's killing my setup....). For the life of me I can't figure out how to assign both these entities as inputs and get them to record simultaneosuly onto an audio track.
My setup is a Presonus Studiolive 16.4.2 with the following assignments:
The external MIDI module's audio output is routed stereo directly into channel strips 9 and 10. By default the firewire output of this channel strip is returned to firewire outputs 9-10 on the studiolive, but this really doesn't matter since recorded audio is being monitored thru the main output buss assigned to channels 17 and 18.
My software plugin (Ivory II) is routed to output channels 17 and 18 which is the default setting for routing the output to the master buss for the Presonus.
On my audio track that's setup in Logic I can assign the inputs to 9 and 10 and I get the external midi module's output to record, but I cannot find any way to get the software instruments output into this mix because there is no input assignment for this.
Is there any way to combine these two entities and assign them to record onto a single audio track or am I missing something here? If there's no simple way to do this, can somebody offer any tip or ideas on how to accomplish the same thing here. I really need to ditch the software plugin. My setup only seems to be able to handle one plug in at a time on the software instrument side. Not sure why that is because my setup is not that old and the memory on my MBP is maxed out at 4GB....but that's another topic of discussion
Any suggenstions would be much appreciated...

Thanks for the reply....
I actually tried freezing the software instrument track and that had little if no effect on CPU. I then read in the book or somewhere that the freeze function really only works on effect plugins. Don't know if that's true in all cases, but that seems to be what's happening. Still would like to combine these tracks and I'm guessing I'm going to have to get creative with bussing or subgroups to make this happen. Unfortunately I think the fact that my Presonus board has hardmapped output routings for all the inputs makes that difficult, but haven't actually tried yet. I'm thinking if I can reroute the midi modules audio output input into the Presonus to a subgroup and then route the software instrument plug in to the same subgroup that I can then mix/capture this and hopefully route the audio's input to the subgroup to pick up the mix.
Does this make sense to anybody reading this?
We'll see and I'll post the results if it works....
thanks...b

Only 24 audio instrument tracks?

In Logic Pro 7.1.1, am I allowed only 24 audio instrument tracks? I cna't seem to add any more than that.

Additionally, you can use
Track->Create Multiple
from the arrange-this will add the audio objects to the environment, good for existing projects. Just make sure the max # of audio tracks is set properly in the audio hardware and drivers window. Also, If you use setup asst you can use functions from the environment such as update, and then use the environment from the session with ample environment objects as the source for import. So you can import or set your environment for existing songs and base them on newer/larger environments. Make sure you work on copies of songs when importing environments.

Audio instrument tracks limit?

I'm trying to establish a template that loads my favorite softsynths and samplers. Is there a way to use more than 32 tracks of audio instrument tracks? Logic's only letting me see and name 32 tracks.
Fresh_oil

Check your Global Track Mixer, if it is showing more that 32 instrument channels, you just need to add them to your arrange window. Otherwise, you need to add the audio objects in your environment (or running the Logic Setup Assistant may help set up the number of instruments you need). Logic should support up to 128 audio instruments.

Real Instruments Tracks Not Playing

In one of my songs, the real instruments do not play. However, I can hear the reverb and echo for these tracks. The tracks still respond to editing. The drum loop and Software Piano play just fine.
Last night, all tracks worked properly, even after deleting a real instrument track. I saved and shut down for the night.
After booting up today, the remaining real instrument tracks have only very minimal volume; really, just a faint whisper. Track info remains the same and I can see some real instrument track monitor activity, but that's about it for the real instruments.
In response to some earlier advice, I created a new Real Instrument and/or a Software Track and see if they are soloed. Nothing, no "hidden" soloed Track.
The real instrument tracks remain silent, though fully editable.
Any assistance would be great.

I went into the master track to see what's going on.
Ducking option was not highlighted, so I clicked on it just to see what would happen. It unlocked all locked tracks, but not the real instruments for some reason. Then, I removed Ducking option.
All real instruments have returned. Problem resolved.
It was something to do with Ducking.
Each day I learn something new. Life is good.

Creating a new software instrument track in Logic Pro 9

When I create a new software instrument track in Logic 9, the newly-created track always defaults to "EVP 88 Electric Piano" instead of "Inst 1" like it's supposed to. Why does Logic do this and how can I restore the settings so that it opens the new track as "Inst 1."
Thanks much!!
Alex

That was added around 9.1.1 - presumably so people wouldn't create an instrument and then ask "I created an instrument, but it don't make no sound."
You can uncheck the open library box or go to HD>Library>App support>Logic>channel strip settings>Instrument>01 Logic instruments and change the one called something like "EVP88 Electric Piano" to just "Electric Piano."

Instrument track only plays one track at a time

Logic Studio will only play one instrument track at a time. Whenever I click to another instrument track I lose the sound. The channel strip meter still shows that the instrument is playing but there is no sound. When I click back on that channel strip I can hear the sound again. Although the channel strip meter works, the strip in the mixer doesn't show any signal at all. It seems that the track is working but there doesn't seem to be any output to the mixer. I have checked all of the solo buttons and none are on. I opened a blank project and all of the software instruments worked just fine; it is only in this project that I can't get more than one instrument track to play at a time.

still plays only one instrument track at a time
I think this project might be damaged, and it would be great if we could take a look at it, as Bee Jay suggested. In the meantime, you should try what Erik suggested about option-click. And here are a few other ideas, although I'm not too optimistic.
Select any region and press S. Three things should happen: this region should have a yellow outline, the ruler should turn yellow, and the solo button in the transport bar should turn yellow. Press S again, and those three things should revert to normal. Is this what happens? It just might be helpful to know.
In the Mixer window, find the button at the top that says "All," and select it. Make sure to look at every channel strip. No yellow S button anywhere? Do you see any Mute buttons flashing?
Press option-K to open the key commands window. In the search box, type "solo off" (without the quote marks). You will see the command 'Solo off for all.' Probably no key is assigned. Give it a key (option-1 might be a good choice, because it's probably available). Close the key commands window, and press the key stroke. Better now?
The channel strip meter still shows that the instrument is playing but there is no sound. When I click back on that channel strip I can hear the sound again. Although the channel strip meter works, the strip in the mixer doesn't show any signal at all.
I have a feeling that when you say "channel strip meter" you mean 'track header meter.' Because it's completely normal that when a midi track is muted (e.g., because another track is soloed) that the track header meter will keep lighting up, even though there's no sound and even though the meter in the mixer (on what is properly called the channel strip) is dark.
The meter in the track header is just indicating that Logic is reading midi from the track. Whether or not that midi gets to become sound is something that happens downstream, and is not reflected in this meter.

We are recording 2 voices over an instrumental track. Every time there is a rest in the vocal part the volume of the instrumental track noticeable increases. Is this fixable? We are using Alesis multi mix 8 with 2 microphones.
