Midi auto-loops unwanted

Lately when i record midi regions they are automatically looped over 8 or 9 times as soon as i finish recording the strikes. I'm wondering if I've accidentally turned on some sort of "auto-loop" feature. Any idea how to turn it off?

Yep, this one:
Uncheck it.

MIDI feedback loops

Per a different thread discussion, I've started using Plogue Bidule to host most of my Audio units and I'm using IAC to send MIDI from MainStage to Blogue.
However, I frequently get popup dialogs warning me that there is a MIDI feedback loop and I'm prompted to "go online" or "stay offline". I'm doing the latter and everything works fine but I'm wondering how to fix this problem (or at least get rid of the dialog).
I'm not near the machine at the moment but I'm wondering if MainStage is automatically receiving MIDI back from those IAC ports and just blindly sending events out again? If that's what's happening, I can probably create some more dummy MIDI devices and associate them with those ports but it's a pity to have to do this.

This doesn't really answer your question, but I am using Reason with MainStage through rewire and can remote control reason fine with MIDI. Once I launch Reason I can create an external instrument channel strip in MainStage. Then I can set the port to Reason and choose a channel, and then map one of my knobs to send a specific midi controller on this external channel strip. Then Reason receives this midi controller whenever I turn the knob on screen. I imagine you should be able to do something pretty similar with Live in slave mode...

Midi Apple Loops Problem

Hi,
Im having some issues with the midi apple loops loosing some effects that are heard when previewed in the media section, then once dragged into the arrange it'll loose for example a prevalent reverb and other notable sonic qualities...even when the plug-ins that are usually bypassed once dragged into arrange window are activated its still lacking from the preview loop heard.
Wa gwahn?

This is normal behavior. If you want the midi loop to sound exactly like auditioned in the preview you will have to create an audio track and move the midi region onto the audio track, and then it will sound exactly the same.

Midi apple loops disappear. Why?

All blue (audio loops) remain in the loop folder, I had greens before but all of sudden they has gone. I downloaded additional content, but says it's complete.

Midi Apple Loops sound different when dragged on to song

When ever I drag a green midi loop from Apple Loops to my song it sounds different. All the effects are gone. I tried to put som reverb on it but it doesn't sound like it does wheyn played in the Apple Loops bar.
How can I use the green midi loops from Apple Loops as they sound there with that effect. The blue audio Apple Loops works fine.
I had this same problem in Logic Pro 9

There are some differences between the audio file previews contained in the loop and the actual data, sometimes by error, sometimes intentionally so.
For instance, if you preview an orchestral instrument, you hear it with reverb, as that's kinda how it's intended to sound, but when you drag it into Logic proper, you don't get reverb - because you will have one global reverb you send all the orchestral instrument too, rather than a hundred individual reverbs on each instrument.
Stuff like that. It varies, but there's nothing broken as such.

Midi Guitar Loops

This might be a very old topic, in which case my apologies. I have all the Apple guitar loops, but want to expand my GarageBand library - particularly of midi loops because they are so much more adaptable. Ideally I would like to hear samples online and buy them on CD rather than as downloads because I use more than one Mac.
Can anyone suggest a good source please?

Where are the MIDI Apple Loop files stored?

Am I the only one that wonders where the MIDI files are stored for GarageBand? The ones installed by iLife, the Jam Pack additions and any custom MIDI loops I create are nowhere to be found. Spotlight doesn't show any MIDI loop name I search and I have spent an entire day scrounging through just about every folder on my Mac looking for these puppies! Does ANYONE know where these files are stored?!!?

Alright, then...
You appear to be correct, in as much as the developer specification for the Core Audio Format has provisions for a "MidiChunk". Thank you so much for at least pointing me in the right direction. I still couldn't find any explanation for this issue on the website you referred me to (and had previously visited), but I did find a small explanation in an obscure Apple Tech Document.
What I would still like to know is:
1. How do you access the MIDI data within the .caf files? I haven't found any application that will extract or access that data.
2. When I create custom MIDI sequences within GarageBand and save them to the Loop Library (e.g. a piano track named "hoity-toity-supercilious-wankersequencedeluxe"), they show up in the Loop Browser but I still can't locate the actual file anywhere on my Mac. I know I can just open up a GarageBand file in Logic and then export the MIDI file out from there. But, I would REALLY like to just be able to find the file to begin with and skip that extra stage.
If I could just find the answers to these burning questions. Oh, and (singing) if I only had a brain!
Thanks again for getting me this far!

What is the JavaScript function to disable the auto-loop feature for the Video Player Plus Widget?

I have PDF's with links to streaming video that play using the native video skin. The Video Player Plus widget auto starts the video by default.
Can someone please tell me how to disable this???
Thanks in advance!

And in CS4, if there is not a matching Preset, you can choose the Desktop Preset, which will allow you to customize nearly every attribute to match your source footage. The name is a bit of a misnomer, but has been around for a long time. I would have called it the "Custom Preset," but Adobe never called.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I just learned something new about CS5 from Curt, because of your question - thanks!

How to make an auto play, auto loop DVD

I can't find any option or help file on how to make a DVD's contents loop. I don't need any menus just the movie to play and loop. Can anyone help me out here? Cheers

You are most welcome, but Jeff did the "heavy lifting," like Ann Bens did in the PrPro forum.
The important thing is that you get what you need.
I'd ditch the Memorex discs, and settle on Verbatim, or Taiyo Yudens. I once used Memorex tape (probably back in your dad's, or grand-dad's day), and it was good. However, for blank DVD media, they adopted a poor business plan - buy the very cheapest source media, and emboss it with their logo. In a spindle of 100, you might find 3 - 4 different mfgr's media. TDK was once good, but went with the Memorex business plan.
There are several media info utilities, and even the free ImgBurn can tell you, but it is always interesting to put in a Memorex disc, and see who actually made it, plus the lot number. Some discs might be good, but then some others can be horrible.
Good luck,
Hunt

Previewing midi loops

I've a bunch of midi drum loops from Groovemonkee and was wondering if it's, in any way, possible to preview them with any of LP's instruments? Without having to drag them into a track with a preloaded instrument that is. I guess what I'd like to do is click through the midi loops, previewing them with the sound of a drumkit I like, then just drag and drop it into Logic.
Help is greatly appreciated.

You can open them in Quicktime, if they've been recorded right they should just play as a standard midi drum kit.
If not, then they'll play as a piano. Quicktime won't let you change the midi channel number unfortunately.

Apple midi loops load incorect channel strip

when i preview a midi apple loop in the loop browser it sounds fine, but when i drag it onto an inst. channel it loads up all the wrong channel strip info. it will load the Garage band sampler but the correct samples do not load. I have used Redmatica's EXS manager and the Inst. are connected to the correct samples, and still no luck. even if i go into the EXS24 and try to load the Garage band Inst it does nothing (not even a warning saying it cant find samples) it stays unloaded. this has mainly been the drums from jam pack 2. I have reinstalled them twice. initialized my drive and reinstalled everything .
has anyone experienced something like this?

Good question with a complex answer. Let's say you have three synths you want to layer together, EXS24, ES1 and ES2. On one of those tracks in your arrange window, drop in your midi arrangement, for this example we'll say it's the EXS24. You'll notice a "plug" on the top right corner of the channel strips. Locate the plug on the EXS 24, click + hold and drag this plug to the ES1. Now repeat the process for the ES1 to the ES2. You have now changed all the instruments together, and they will respond to the the midi input from the base synth, i.e. the EXS 24.
To make this easier, it may help you to create a new layer in the environment window and then place the channel strips for those instruments on this layer. This will keep things organized for your workflow, but it's entirely optional. Hope this helps. Check out macprovideo.com for more environment + midi tricks.

MIDI Loops for BASS

Recently I got some MIDI Drum Loops from groovemonkee.com. Are there any sites like this that provide BASS loops? I want to run these through my East West Hard Core Bass plugins.
I am looking but not having much luck so far. Any suggestions are appreciated!

I just don't think like a kick a** bass player yet. I like a lot of audio loops I hear but I like the option of tweaking the lines if I need to when I am working on compositions.
The plugin itself is great. I am very happy with the purchase.
I just am looking for a lot of input when it comes to lines and I don't have a ton of time to sit around creating them.

Somehow i turned off the sound on the green midi loops.any suggestions?

been using Logic a lot and now when i play MIDI green loops there is no sound...i have check the track is not muted in any way and there are difinitely notes there. Also when i use the MIDI keyboard by pressing caps lock there is no sound there too.Sure it's something simple...checked in system preferences/sound and everything apppears fine.I know it is not my speakers as i can hear music and the clicks on volume, plus also audio regions.Any suggestions folks? :-)

Master volume setting?
Wave-out volume setting?
Correct output hardware selected? I looked in the Java API docs and found the package for
javax.sound.midi . Which one of the below classes
might have those parameters so I can check them ?
Thank you in advance

How should I manage lots of MIDI loops?

Hello,
I just purchased GrooveMonkee MIDI drum loops, which gave me hundreds of MIDI drum loops.
I use the Mac's Finder to preview these MIDI loops. When I find the one I want, I drag it into the Arrange window of Logic Express.
However, Logic assigns the name "Sequence" to every loop, rather than the original file name. So then I get left with lots and lots of regions called "Sequence", and it's hard to know which was which.
Is there any way to change the name of a MIDI region after it is imported into Logic?
Would there be a better way for me to manage hundreds of MIDI loops like this? (apart from buying new software drum machines).
thanx

Yes, it is part of Arch philosophy. Unfortunately
I'm probably trying to say 2 things: this is the only thing I personally don't like about Arch, and the packages could do with a little bit more testing. I mean, do you really need the newest packages the very next day ??

Strange behaviour when looping MIDI

Hi,
I encounter a strange behaviour when looping MIDI:
1) Created a new MIDI track
2) Recorded two bars of MIDI drum track (e.g. just a bass drum with Indie Kit Live) via my EDIROL and MIDI piano.
3) played it back: works
4) checked the "Loop" box
5) played it back: after the 4th repeat the drum pattern changes. either it misses two beats or does not play the bass drum but the hihat for two beats.
I'm using Logic Pro 8.
Can someone tell me what's going on and how this can be resolved?
Also on some occasions I have the following behaviour:
1) Recorded MIDI in loop mode (a few takes).
2) Played it back: Did not produce any sound.
3) Tried a different take from the take folder: Did not produce any sound.
4) Tried to mute/unmute track and different take from the folder: Did not produce any sound.
5) Tried to MIDI mute/unmute different takes from the folder: Did not produce any sound.
6) Closed/reopened project and MIDI unmuted the take: Played fine.
Thanks a lot for some help with those two problems.
Alex

Did not happen again in Logic 9 and after starting a fresh project.
