Midi instrument to audio track recording prob.

Im Trying to record a midi (instrument) track to an audio track. I have created the sound using the FM8 synth... There is one parameter on FM8 that wont record automation (morph grid) so to get the effect I need to record it in as a real audio file. So I bus the instrument track out to bus 1, then i take the audio track and make that audio bus 1... levels seem to come up yet for some reason when i record it doesnt record anything despite there seeming to be a level coming up.. any suggestions? Ive been searching the manual for hours

I was afraid that was the case...Thankyou for taking note of the performance issue and answering my real question, cuz i have an automation problem which im told is a bug and have a work around for now but still no live automation and if i do live auto. it will record it but i cant hear any of the old automation as im doing it making it kinda useless at many times... but anyways.... so it appears as my two options are to re-route it out externally (but then wont that still only leave me one real pass of automation via midi) cuz if i am still able to modulate the regular audio via live in on the synth using the audio... then that would work... but Im still not sure if i would be able to record the audio file on a midi track (ill have to try that unless someone knows)... if that were the case then i could just bounce the file to audio and modulate everything using the synths as effects?? do you know if they can do that on Native instrument synths?

Route midi instrument to a track insert

Hey guys,
I just purchased native instruments the finger and it sounds really fun.
I have a synth instrument and i put the finger as an insert on that track.
I then create a midi track but I dont see how its possible in the known universe of the logic interface to link that midi instrument to a track insert...
The thing about the finger is that its ran by keys and knobs so simply automating params will not work.
Any help would be good.
Thanks

I figured out ONE way to do it... dont know if it is the best.
Send the synth track to bus1 @ full send volume.
Set to no output
Add a software instrument track with reaktor as the input
Sidechain bus1

Way to do THIS? Record MIDI instrument as AUDIO?

I know freeze makes an audio file but it would be cool if there where a visible pool to see the bounced audio so you can mangle it more if creating soundscapes and such.
Is there a way to record what you here (via instrument for example) via a BUS onto an AUDIO track?
Thanks!

Hitbirdparis, just can you detail the way to
set "soundflower" cause I could not make it work in
LOGIC to record audioinstruments to audio, do I have
to select in "hardware and audio driver"?
Thanks for your help
sure.. it can be a little crytpic to set up in the first instance, but it works just fine.
you need to obviously download and install soundflower. then, in audio/midi setup, you must create an aggregate audio device, and in this device you include whatever audio interface you have, built in audio if you like, and soundflower. now, in logic you have to choose the aggregate audio device as your audio interface, in audio hardware/drivers.
then, at least in my case, the rest was a little bit of guesswork. I created an audio instrument and made some midi recording on it, and put it in a loop so it was playing something. then I created an audio track, turned off it's output (by selected no output on its fader strip) just to avoid any possible feedback loops. I record armed this track, and then I just started selecting different input channels one after the other until lo and behold, I saw audio levels coming in that was the output coming from that audio instrument track. you also may need to change the output channel on that particular audio instrument track till you find the right one that goes to soundflower, which will then come back into logic on the input channel that comes out of soundflower.
audio/midi setup isn't the most helpful thing in all of this because it doesn't show you a table of what your i/o channels actually are.. but once you poke around and try the channels you'll eventually find the right ones. in my case, for some reason I have had to launch the soundflower bed application to get the audio to start working, not sure why. so if you have no luck, you can try this also.
once it's all set up, it works like a charm.
of course, the other option, being the noisegate plug in sidechain trick, also works perfectly too.
still, I look forward to a total overhaul of OSX core audio and logic so that this stuff can be set up without needing tricks and 3rd party add ons.. and while they're at it, destructive plug in processing directly on audio regions in the arrange would be a nice thing to have too.
I've already written to logic feedback to request these things, if you like you could add your voice to the requests.. the more the merrier..

Audio Track Recording (Armed) button plays a midi sound when it flashes red

Hard to explain but when I click the "R" Record/arm button on an Audio track it makes a sound through my midi device (my keyboard) in time to the flashing of the red light.
I've just installed an RME Fireface 800 and I'm using the MIDI interface to connect this to my keyboard and use through Logic
Does anyone know how to turn this off? When I actually start recording it eventually turns itself off, so it only happens when I arm the track.

it sounds like logic is trying to send midi to a control surface telling it to display the record light. I'd check in the control surface setup window and see what's there.

Audio track recording with 2 MIDI devices on Channel Spitter

I now have a turn table set running through XLR cables into an M-Audio interface, and than into a USB Hub which runs into the MacG5.
I've got the Channel Splitter Track hooked up, and I am now tryin to record 2 MIDI Devices and an Audio track (from turntables) at the same time. Is this possible ?
I've gone into the Audio Drivers and Hardware window and messed around but with no success. Do you have any advice for me ?
I am very new to this so step by step would help alot. Thankyou.

I've tried that, and what happens is the Instr track is picked up and recorded but I'm getting nothing from the audio track.
It seems that the Logic wants to read the devices one at a time. Meaning, I can get it to read the audio interface but not the Midi, or the Midi and no audio. It will not read both at the same time. ( when Logic is picking up the audio interface I can see that it's getting a signal from my midi devices but I'm getting no sound, and nothing is being recorded from the midi devices).
I have a feeling that I've done something wrong in the Audio Hardware and Drivers window.
Thankyou again for your time, I'm detirmined to learn this system. You've been a big help.

Logic Pro 7 - Audio Track record with Firewire In

System: Mac Book Pro. Logic 7.2.3 M-Audio Firewire 410. Aggregate device created = Firewire Multichannel (as input) & Built-In Output. (Built-in microphone turned off) Using condensor mike connected to F/W interface
SYMPTOM: No Audio being recorded to Audio Track. MIDI interfaces OK.
Any idea how to set Audio track to capture Firewire audio IN? (The set-up works properly with Garage Band)

Have you checked the Audio Input in the Channel Strip? What is it set to? Have you armed the Record button? ... say a bit more about your set up

Won't let me save as archive nor change software instrument to audio track

You were able to do both of these before iLife 09. Also, I see the option to archive, but it won't let me select it. Anyone?

One: Locking a track mixes it down to an audio track (hidden in the project package in a folder called "Freeze Files") that is being used on playback, so the computer doesn't have to render the software instruments.
Two: If by "sound modules" you mean the software instruments - no, they are not included in a "Save as Archive" file. As I said, it's the audio loops and copied regions. Try adding a blue audio loop to your song, and the "Save as Archive" option will appear!

Audio Stream Recorder Prob

Have Audigy 2 Platinum Pro & XP Pro. Wish to set up timed recording of streaming radio broadcast. Audio Stream Recorder status window shows recording status as "Audio device is already being used by another program." No other audio/video program is running. Do have, however, Windows Media Player 9, Quick Time alternati've, Real player alternati've & Media Center installed; but none are running. How can I find out what program is interfering with the Creative Audio Stream Recorder? Is there a file association issue? Many thanks for all comments/suggestions!
SKBrown

I have the same issue. I updated to the latest software, to no avail. My first suspicion is that some Microsoft patch caused this, but I cannot verify this.
Apparently no one at Creative is very interested in this issue.

Record Real Time output from a Audio Instrument to Audio Track

Hey,
Is there anyway to record in real-time the output of an Audio Instr?
I use a plugin that doesn't support automation, so I need to record the changes as they appear?
Any other solution?

No sound from MIDI instrument / recording on Logic Pro 7

Audio interface is set up properly.
Logic Pro 7 says it records the midi signal, and the notes show up in the midi region (the rectangular box in the arrange window where you see the wave if its an 'audio' recording) but there is no output sound, even though it says in the bottom right that there is a MIDI output signal and i can see the notes on the screen with my own eyes.
Normal line in / audio tracks record and play back fine. It's baffling!

Its just a software instrument in logic. Tried a few different ones. in the bottom right, when i play a note it says that the output is on channel 3 (same as input, which is set to 3 on the midi keyboard. Audi interface is connected by usb, and it plays all other sounds from computer including line in / audio tracks on logic, as well as the tutorial track.
Recent garage band convert. When you recorded a midi region with a software instrument with that you could hear it straight away. Is there something i need to know about routing the output through something else in logic?
Thanks for your help

Change pitch of midi instruments

Hello
What is the best way to change the pitch of midi instruments to match source recording of acoustic guitar and voices?
thanks

Hi Jordi!
What are you doing slumming it here my friend?
Anyhow.. for the OP.. If you go to the Instrument Properties tab in the Play Engine... you can fine tune the instruments there.. which would probably be a lot easier than messing around with your own audio files
See page 57 of the Play 4 System manual for further info....

How can I make a synced audio track match the length of selected clips in a multicam seq?

I have a continuous multicam sequence of about 13 minutes containing a synced master audio track recorded from seperate microphones. I want to rearrange scenes from it into my final sequence, but when I select a range of clips to nest the entire length of audio gets pasted into the new sequence. I want to trim the audio to match just the clips I've selected but not lose sync. Is there a way to do this or is nesting not the way to chop up a sequence and rearrange the scenes in it?
Thanks.
Mike

Me too!!! I have a multicam sequence from 2 cameras with the audio staying on camera 1. I also have a seperate, continuous audio track recorded from microphones which I have synced to the timeline. I'm trying to select a group of sequential clips of different camera angles from the timeline to create scenes which I can insert into a final sequence but in a different order from how they are on the timeline. Let's say I want to take a series of clips that start at 3:30 on the timeline and go until 4:30 on the timeline. It will contain several cuts between the different cameras and I want to use that section as the first scene of my new sequence. If I select all of the clips in that time period and nest them into a new sequence, I only get the audio from camera 1 on the new TL. If I try window selecting those clips to include the continuous audio track, I get a new TL with 3 minutes and 30 seconds of the desired audio, then the video clips, and then the rest of the audio making a 13 minute TL. I just learned, after searching around, about marking in and out points on my multicam seq. and using the trick of "LIFTing" and then "UNDOing" to keep my multiseq intact, and then pasting into a new sequence. That works, but I'm only getting the audio track from off the camera. It won't select and lift the section of the other audio track that I want. I'm rushed for time so that's the way I've ended up finishing the video for now. The camera audio is just going to have to do although the mic recording is much better. The more I try to explain this the more confused I get and I'm sure everybody reading it does too. Any ideas? Thanks!

Audio tracks missing when doing automate to sequence.

Using PMW200 with 4 audio tracks. When dragging single file to timeline I get the 4 audio tracks. But when I do an automate to sequence, I only get 1 audio track, plus, the default audio transition is not going on.
I have all the tracks highlighted and have ticked apply audio and video transitions.
Any idea where I'm going wrong? Thanks
Mike Ward

Hi Kevin. I uploaded a clip onto you tube for you to try, but you tube mixed the audio tracks so it was useless.
Basically, drag any video clip with 4 audio tracks recorded from camera onto timeline in cs6, and all audio tracks appear on the timeline. But automate several similar tracks to timeline and only one audio track gets added. The other 3 do not appear. Is there a work around for this, rather than dragging all on one at a time.
Thanks

3 audio tracks (centre,right,çeft) : How to make stereo pairs?

Hi,
Working with one video track and three audio tracks (recorded as Centre, Left and Right) for each clip.
Having problems when I do overlaps or fades manually. I need to treat each track separately as not possible to make them a stereo pair.
Should I duplicate the Centre track and make it a stereo pair and make another stereo pair with Left/Right.
What should be the easiest way/workaround to treat/link the audio tracks so that sound transitions like manual overlaps/fades can be done?
Thanx

Hi-
Do your manual fade on one track of the three. Select the track with the manual fade and type command+C to copy it. Select the other two tracks and type Option+V. A window will open that will let you choose to paste only your level settings, pan, or content or any combination of those.
If you have elaborate manual mixing you might want to razor blade just the section of the the three audio clips you want to apply the sound transition to - so as not to disturb other parts of the mix.
Hope this helps.
