Midi and Audio tracks simultaneously armed for recording

All, whilst engaged in laying down the bass track for the guitar solo section of my latest monster his, I encountered one of those sorts of frustrations that makes one long for some means of swift egress from this mortal coil, this vale of tears: that is, while laying down my totally awesome bass track that when they hear it will send JP Jones and Boosty Collins to employee as actuaries, I kept getting the hateful "unable to synchronize the audio and midi error." I'll spare you the catalog of the various lame attempts I understood to remedy this problem, as well as the curses directed toward my fate, and Daw ineptitude in general. Then I nnoticed that both the software instrument tracks (Addictive drums) and the audio track (aforementioned bass) were both armed for recording, signified by the red R in the track header! Well, upon de-arming the software instrument track I was able to record by bass line in a mimimum of takes, and as visions of illegal intozicants and comen of questionable morals dance through my noggin as recompsense for my trouble, with to make the point to all relative newbies such as myself that the answer to problems that seem on surface intractable as usually staring you right in the glazed eyeball.

What?...
I'm sorry maybe I don't understand everything you are sayng... but I can replay to the titles of the Topic!
Actually recording a MIDI instrument and an Audio Track symultaneously comes with serious bug!!!
you cannot use Punch-in on Fly when an Audio and instrument track is armed at the same time...
or better you can but the MIDI and audio output will be dropped for a moment
Provide a Logic feedback
http://www.apple.com/feedback/logicpro.html!
THIS IS A LOGIC 8 BUG!!! BIGGEST SERIOUS BUG!
I suggest you to use Logic 7 when you need that!
Thank you so much for remember me this..
I'm sorry no alternative solution... or.. if you have 2 Macs you can use one for Logic MIDI and another one for Logic Audio!

No Audio Track is enabled for recording message

I'm a beginner in Mac and would appreciate some help in sorting out a problem with Garageband podcasting on iLife '06.
When I choose female voice and press the red RECORD button, I get this message: "No Audio Track is enabled for recording". I have done some tests in the past which were ok. Have I accidently changed the settings? I checked input and output devices (usb external mic and speaker headset is recognised and that voice and not instrument selection is made.
Can anyone help me please. Thank you.

To enable a track choose the track and click on the
small button icon on the right just under the track
name. The button will be red when enabled.
I'm looking for such a button and don't see one. AFAICT the track name is "Male Basic." Near the track name I see three buttons: mute/unmute, solo, and show/hide volume curve. But that's it. To the right of that are the mixer controls, and no other obvious buttons that I can see. What does or should the button look like? And are we both referring to the same version of GB? I'm wondering if a later version of GB has the button, but version 1 doesn't?
BTW I have looked through the docs (the At-A-Glance and the 3 tutorial PDFs) that came with the installation, and using Preview's Search function, can find no instance of the string "enabl" in any of the documents. Nor is it anywhere in Help.
Thanks again...

Global Track - Chords (Only selected Midi and Audio Tracks)

I am looking to have only certain Audio/Midi tracks be trsposed when there is a change of chords in the Global Track section. For example, I am going C/Am/C. At the Am point, everthing (exclusing drums) gets transposed, even the Melody parts. Is there any way to select only the tracks that I want tranposed?
Or is there a better way of doing this. Appreciate the help.

Hi Again
I tried it out today and on the Midi tracks I found the no hassle in ticking the non transpose button. Worked great.
On the audio loop tracks I could not find the no transpose option in the inspector. Appreciate your assistance.

Midi and audio tracks are not synchronised properly?

no problem for a year and then after synchronizing my old Roland VS 880 in order to transfer audio tracks to a new project in my mac all new audio recordings run out of sync with the midi percussion tracks. They move along together but not quite in sync. It sounds as though the guitar parts have been badly played but believe me that is not the case.

Good question. I don't know. If the sampling frequency changed it did it on it's own because I have never even come across that before. I am going to look around logic to try and educate myself but so much time has been lost already I am at my wits end. We couldn't talk could we? Are you with skype?

Logic Pro 9 When I open a file which contains a composition of many midi and audio tracks, no sounds play or some tracks are playing the wrong sounds. The project was working perfect when it was saved and closed down.

Does anyone else understand what is happeneing, its like all the tracks and plugins are confused and are playing all the wrong sounds if at all. I've checked the audio setting which seem fine but cant understand where it all goes horribly wrong. Thanks

Is it just a Logic problem; can you for-instance play audio in iTunes trough the Tascam? And what about new projects; you get audio there?

Why Don't Midi and Audio Tracks Stop Playing When I hit Pause or Stop

I'm using Logic Express 8.
This could be a preference corruption issue, but I'm not sure. When I play on the keyboard or from within the application the notes continue to play even when I hit stop or pause. This doesn't always happen, but I'm wondering what causes it.

Hi,
are you clicking with the mouse or hitting spacebar? Does is work with the second mouseclick?
The first mouseclick into a non-active window doesn't do anything but brings this window to the front. The second mouseclick then should do the job. The same applies to the spacebar: It only affects the application currently "in front". This is especially true if you have the sample-editor open, and the stop command only stops the sample playing but doesn't stop the arranger.

Midi and audio in quartz composer.

I am fairly new to quartz composer. Does any one know how to set up the midi input or controller in it? I can set up a basic image, but it will not respond to me playing my midi keyboard. I am so lost.

You just select Midi and Audio tracks while holding down the shift button. Arm both tracks->select the Midi track first (click into track header) ->hold down shift->select the Audio track->both track headers turn grey->record->have fun...

Can't Record Midi and audio Simultaneously

I just noticed that I cant record audio and midi simultaneously. I wanted to record a audio vocal track as I was recording a midi piano track but it wouldn't record. If I selected the audio track, the midi track wasn't heard. If I selected the midi track, I could hear the piano, but the audio wouldn't record. Weird. I had to record the midi track, and then go back and arm 2 audio tracks for recording. One for the vocal and the other to convert the midi track into a audio track. I don't understand why I can't record midi and audio at the same time. I am using a MOTU 896HD for my audio, so I can record up to 8 audio tracks at a time.
Does anyone have any clues as to how to set this up to record midi and audio at the same time?

Setup your audio and midi tracks and then hold the shift key and hit the record button on each of them. Both audio and midi will record.

Recording audio and software tracks simultaneously ?

recording audio and software tracks simultaneously ?
I am recording a software piano instrument track and a vocal audio track in logic Pro X. Problem#1
When the replace"X" button is selected,
when recording audio and a software track simultaneously,
I can hear the previously recorded instrument track that I am recording over.
(very distracting)
When recording a software instrument track alone (without simultaneously recording an audio track)
The software/midi instrument track will record over and erase existing data and I will not hear the previously recorded track. (as it is suppose to do) Problem #2
Both tracks are armed ready to record.
If the software instrument track is not highlighted, it will not record.
The audio track will record regardless of whether it is highlighted or not. Craig C.

Click record on the MIDI/Inst track.
Shift click record on the audio track.
Hit record

How to record midi and audio at the same time?

Hello,
I have a Roland sh-201 synth and Logic 9. When I use patches from the sh-201, it will record it via audio. What if I wanted to record the audio but also have the midi information as well? How would I be able to accomplish this? My synth is connected via USB which carries both midi and audio. Sorry for my poor english, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Hi
Logic will record both audio and MIDI at the same time, but you *MUST* have the Software Instrument/MIDI track selected in the Arrange Track List.
The audio track must be 'Record Ready':

Can't recording Midi and Audio at the same time

I'm in GREAT need of help. I can't record midi and audio at the same time. I'm using an M AUDIO project mix I/O. I know this is VERY basic stuff but I can't seem to get it to work.I can record multiple audio at once. ANd I can record midi but not at the same time. PLEASE help . Is there a setting somewhere I need to change ? Thanks
Tracy

Hi!
Enable all audio tracks (R) you wish to record. Then make sure you select the audio instrument you are using on the left of the arrange page (track list). If you here your input, hold shift, then highlight (gray) the mentioned audio tracks you wish to record on. When R is red, and the proper tracks are grey, you can record. Hope that made sense!

USB/Firewire Interface for MIDI and audio (Garage Band)

I want to connect a Roland Handsonic (electronic drum) and Shure microphone to a Mac Pro for recording in Garage Band. What is the best USB/firewire interface for MIDI and audio?
Mac Pro desktop Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you click one of the links you can read all about it in depth.
three guitarists
That's not what you asked for B-)>
Once you want more than 2 audio inputs, the prices start jumping up dramatically.
would this be the best interface to use?
If you really want "Best" then it's a simple answer:

My Audio And Software Tracks are quiter when Record Enabled with Plugins on

When my tracks are armed to record the volume seems much quieter...Then after I record the take and playback its full volume;;; I think its a preference I accidently set??...Example..
If I have a piano software plug on, its quiter during recording then playback..But even during playback, if that track is highlighted on Arrange its quite,,,I have to un highlight the track...Even when recording audio if Im perhaps using channel strip settings??...Ideas>>>????? Anyone??/

Hello All...
Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
Thanks!

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

Dan,
It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
Hope that helps
