Midi Drum Tracking

Hey guys, I was hoping somebody could help me out with this. I am recording songs that are recorded from my yamaha motif to logic. I can get the drums and their midi information onto a midi track in logic, but then all aspects of the drums are on one midi channel. Snare, bass, toms, cymbols, are all on one midi track. So I cant pan or what not to any individual drum element. Please let me know if there is a better way to get the drums in logic or if there is a function in logic that I can use to fix this. Thnx.

What you can do is take the drum midi track in logic and mute everything but the kicks, - then play that and record the kik drums from the motif. Then mute everything but the snare, and do the process again, etc..
You could also tell use the Logic command to split tracks by pitch, that would automatically seperate all the kiks, from snares, hats, etc.. But you most likely want to keep the 3 hat notes on one track, and probably keep the toms as a mixed stereo pair. I usually split my drums into, kik, snare, hats, tom mix, and cymbal mix.
That way you will have all the motif drums isolated, inside of Logic now...

Assigning midi drum track to drummer track

Is it possible to take a midi drum track and assign it to drummer track?

Copying the MIDI regions to an empty Drummer track works fine, but caution regarding Convert to Drmmer Regions: this will erase any MIDI programming previously done

What would cause Logic to open MIDI drum tracks as separate GM tracks?

So this is a continuation of a question I posted in another thread (so some of you may recognize the topic), but I have narrowed my problem down to this:
When I load a Standard Midi File into Logic 9, all my drum tracks come up as separate tracks (by actual drum) as GM Device. So I have 11+ tracks for drums. One for kick, one for snare, one for...you get the point. This has happened for several files, so it's not limited to one. The tracks have no playback (unless I load QT synth, which sounds like an 80's video game).
I posted the file for a few people to DL and try and it loaded correctly for them! Drums are on ONE track and load a Logic drum set (not GM on separate tracks).
So the question is: Why is MY copy of Logic behaving this way and others are not? Is this a simple setting?
You can take a peak at some screen caps and the original journey here:

Thanks,

Thanks Bill. I guess the split tracks are half the problem. I was under the impression that those of you who loaded the file had the tracks combined and Logic loaded a drum set for them. So, when you loaded the file the drum tracks were NOT loaded into a GM instrument? Each drum track was a Logic Instrument? Still a little confused...
Thanks for the tip on glueing tracks together. I'm on it.
I will do this then create a new track, load a drum set, and move the midi data onto it. Still a work around, IMO, but a faster one!

Can't hear live track when playing midi drum track

This is a really dumb question. I've been away from Logic too long. I'm trying to monitor a live guitar track while I play a recorded midi drum beat. I can hear the midi track fine. And I can hear the live guitar track when the midi track is not playing. But as soon as I start playback, the live track goes silent even though the red record enable button is on and the levels show live guitar signal. It just doesn't make it to the output. If I actually record a region, I can hear it. But I don't want to record, I just want to practice with effects and a drum track.
I've done this before. What have I forgotten?

Recorded audio is playing back out of time with midi drums, I'm using a new avalon 737 with it too.

I am trying to record guitar over a midi drum track, its all great except the guitar plays back out of time with the drums, i have just introduced an avalon 737 compressor, it didnt used to have before.
Before the Avalon it all worked perfectly, cant figure out how the avalon would make logic play out of time, I am recording through an Apogee Duet 2.

Yeah, and it didn't work.
I had problems when I updated to iOS 5 (lost all my apps - a few of my friends had the same problem) and when there was an update to iOS 4 (camera wouldn't work). The iOS 5 issue was sorted by backup (but I lost the app data) but for the iOS 4 issue I had to return my iPod to get a new one.

MIDI Drums not syncing with tempo track automation

I created some tempo changes, basically subtle speed-ups etc, worked fine, recorded guitars and bass, made a rough mix, all sounded great.
Now I go back to do more recording and editing, and the MIDI drums won't speed up with the automation, thus putting it out of sync with the audio tracks that have been recorded to it. I've restarted etc, no luck. Anyone have any ideas what could have happened?

Maybe your Drum Machine doesn't accept Logic as it's MIDI master in terms of sync. There can only be one MIDI clock master. By default, it's Logic. Look if you Drum machine is set to slave!
But i must admit i never worked the chapter through in the Manual, since i didn't need it before. So i recommend looking there as well.

How to make definitive a midi drum mapped track

Drum track audio to midi

Hello
How to transform my kick drum audio track into a midi track ? don't know if it's possible ... i've seen the "audio to score" thing but no "audio to beat"
thanks
bontempi

Audio to Score is the way to do this from within Logic.
Do a search here, as this has been discussed a lot, but essentially, you'll open the Sample Edit window, on, say, the snare drum track, and open Audio to Score.
Adjust the settings so that the vertical black lines represent the snare hits.
Let Audio to Score to it's thing, and then open the MIDI region that it created, and using the Transformer, set all the varied MIDI notes to the same fixed pitch that your snare sample will play. You can also do the same with velocities.
I could go into more detail, but I and others have already done so numerous times on this forum, so the detailed info is available. Just do a search here.
Also, for 50 bucks, you can eliminate the need to use audio to score altogether, by getting the apTrigga plug-in.
http://www.apulsoft.ch/aptrigga/
Drumagog is also another great trigger plug-in, although more expensive.
Holler back if you have any problems with Audio to Score though. it's actually fairly easy to do, once you know the steps involved, and have done it a couple of times.

Separate Midi Drums To Different Tracks?

Hi,
I have just programed my midi drums on an instrument track.
Is there way to separate the snare, kick drum to separate midi tracks other than manually doing so?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Darren.

Make copies of your drum Instrument track (shift+return) - copy/option drag the regions to the copied tracks - select highest and lowest not in the Inspector of your regions - so kickdrum lowest/highest note C1/C1 - snare D1/D1 - and so on.
Even faster way is to go to the region menue in the Arrange->Split/seperate->separate different pitches (translated form my german menue)
every note will be split up into a new region so you'll have a region with kickdrums/snares and so on.

When I export a AAF file from Protools 9 and Import the file into Logic ProX the drum track is out of sync. I created the drum loop using NI Maschine. Has anyone else seem this??

When I export an AAF file/project from Protools 9 using an external drive and import the AAF into Logice Pro X the drum track does not play correctly. It is out of sync with the rest of the track. I created the drum loop as a plugin using Native Instruments Maschine. Has anyone else had this problem?? Also how would I go about exporting the midi tracks from the Protools session. The midi track does not show when the file is imported to Logic Pro X. The midi data should export with the AAF file correct??

Are you using any plugins in Logic?
In Preferences/Audio under the General tab, how do you have the plug-in-latency compensation set?

In Logic Pro, trying to import a drum track from the bin to arrange area, the 'follow loop' box does not appear in the inspector

imported a drum track from bin to arrange area. It will not follow tempo of the project even though it was recorded in this project. The 'follow tempo' box in the inspector does not appear even though it is present on other tracks in the file.
how do I set up the track so the 'follow tempo' box appears in the inspector?

Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

I can´t get the drum tracks of my Korg M50 to sound in garageband. Does anyone know how?

I can´t get the drum tracks of my Korg M50 to sound in garageband. Does anyone know how?

If it's actual audio out from the M50, you just need to hook up its audio outs into whatever you're using to get sound into the computer (audio interface, the computer's input jack, whatever it is that you're using), fire up a real audio track, and record.
But if you're having difficult with drum tracks, that's usually this:
Drum tracks on many MIDI devices default to MIDI channel 10. MIDI channel 10 is like the universal MIDI channel for drum tracks. However, GB likes to see MIDI channel 1, regardless of the instrument.
Therefore, if this is a MIDI issue, you'd need to change the MIDI channel on your drum tracks from 10 to 1 to make them GB friendly.

MIDI Drums

Hi,
The MIDI drum loops I select sound OK when listening to them, however, when I drag them up to create a new track, the sound is not the same and is often pitched? Anyone got any suggestions?

Deleting the Preferences has solved the problem for cpa54.
When a midi drum loop was dragged into a track the sound was not a drum sound any more but a synth sound even though no effects or synth sounds were selected. This happened on completely new projects. It did not affect other users on the same machine however which indicated that deleting the preferences would solve the problem.

Separate midi drum channels not showing in piano roll, only kick

hey ya'll! I separated my midi drum notes on to separate mudi tracks. But now only the kick track shows up in the piano roll window.
I am using AD and need to be able to edit the drum midi tracks. I use the piano roll window for this. Can someone help me?
Jon

You can select multiple regions in the arrange window and they will all show up in the piano roll. If you color each drum region a different color and select "region colors" in the piano roll view menu you can easily tell which regions are whoch.

Recording drum tracks in Logic using Groove Agent 2 or 3

I'm trying to record some drum tracks using Grove Agent 3. I can hear the drums and see the meter jumping but there is no recording. Help please

Logic cannot record Groove Agrnt's MIDI output, I can't remember whether it's
AUi or Logic that isn't developed to that point yet. I know it's in the AUi spec
but don't think Logic has that capability.
If it's audio you want to record, solo and "Bounce" the Groove Agent instrument
track. That will get you an audio recording. Cubase makes it a bit easier as it
will record Groove Agent's MIDI output for editing purposes before
bouncing/exporting.
