Midi loop not sounding same at arrange area

Hi,
when I drag a midi loops (green loops) into the arrange area it will not play the same sound........ mean I'm not getting the same effect of the midi loop at the arrange area & I don't want use these loop on audio track. I know if I drag the midi loops into audio track it will create an audio loop sounds same effect what I'm listening at the Loop browser but I want to use these midi loops in there own midi track.
Please help me guys

Thanks Jorge for getting back to me.
I tried what you said and when I do get the first Capital Violin 2 midi loop and turn it to green. There is a slight staccato sound but not much. When I move the modulation wheel and select the first sound in the piano roll, yes I can hear a dramatic staccato sound. But the minuet I get the play head to the front of the loop and play it from start it is gone again. Quite frustrating. I would love to get that energetic Capita F Violin 2 midi sound but it doesn't have the power or anything like what it sounds in the loop browser.
Any extra tips on how to KEEP the sound after playback would be a great boost to my musical loop understanding.
But thanks for those suggestions!
I am using a 49 E keyboard and it has a Pitch Bend Wheel and a Modulation Wheel to the left of the keys. The volume control on the 48 e is all the way up. That is another problem I have is even when I push the volume up high in the arrangewindow more often than naught the loops don't seem strong like they do in the loop browser.
But again, my main problem is a lack of strong staccato sound.

Help !! DVD DOES NOT SOUND/PLAY RIGHT WHEN PUT IN PLAYER

Hello,
I have put together a dvd of slides and music and looks and sound great on the computer when I put the dvd in. The problem is when I go to play it in my dvd player, it not only does not sound good in many areas, but also produces a delay in the picture. It comes up, then kind of refocuses. I have done these before pre iDVD09 period and never had a problem. Is there something I can do? Perhaps a different software program. It is a Christmas present and I'm disappointed in it. Any help would be awesome. I am using 16x HP DVD's and have tried adjusting the speeds in preferences...ex. 4x. Hope someone can help. Thanks !!

Have you tried saving the project at a disk image, mounting the disk image and playing it with DVD Player. That will determine if the problem lies with the encoding or the burning.
Once you're satisfied that the disk image is OK you can burn it with Disk Utility or Toast. me01's mention of the recommended DVD brands is correct except the -R type is recommended.

Midi loops in browser sound different in arrange window controller messages

I have a problem with controller messages as well with fx
I audition a midi loop it has FX and then drag it to arrange window
sounds different, I know of ther is another topic about the FX,
But as well controller messages not being read right
say a Timpani loop, foot controller is not reading
so the timpani roll is gone

This is not a problem, it's intentional design.
The preview audio contains reverb for these instruments, because the sound is in context - it let's you hear it how you are typically going to use it, and use can use it as an audio loop without problems.
When you load it as MIDI, it does not add another reverb to the channel because it assume you are going to use a global reverb, rather than add individual reverbs per channel - this is the generally better way of doing it, and avoids new users having a hundred reverbs on individual channels when they only need one.
As for articulations switched by MIDI, the preview audio can contain only one sample, but if there are different articulations, they need to be played/switched accordingly.
It's not a bug, it's the way it works for flexibility in the main. You have to remember, that when stepping up from a entry-level program to a professional one, a lot of hand-holding that the entry level programs do is no longer there, and so you can feel like the pro version is "less good" than the entry one. This is not the case - professional users do not need hand-holding, and that generally gets in the way.

Midi loops when imported into arrange window sound pretty lifeless - please help

Hi
I am currently using Logic pro 9 and when I play the orchestral midi loops in the loop window they sound really lush. When I drag them into the arrnage window they sound really dull. I think I have changed a master setting somewhere along the line but don't know how to restore it.
It doesn't happen with the audio loops
I am on Mac OS x 10.6.8
any suggestions welcome

Sorry to say, this isn't a bug — it's a feature!
You've just described exactly how they're supposed to work.
+Green Apple Loops are known as Software Instrument Apple Loops (SIALs). They differ from the blue (audio) Apple Loops in that they also contain a MIDI region plus software instrument and effect settings.+
+When Software Instrument Apple Loops are placed on instrument tracks, the region shown in the Arrange area can be edited just like other MIDI regions, including individual note editing.+
+If dragged onto a blank instrument track (one with an empty channel strip), the corresponding instrument and effect(s) settings are automatically inserted.+
+You can also drag Software Instrument Apple Loops directly into a blank Arrange window (with no tracks), or to a blank area below existing tracks. An instrument track and corresponding channel strip are automatically created, and the Apple Loop is loaded (the instrument is inserted into the instrument channel, along with any effects, and the Apple Loop region is placed on the track).+
+When you place Software Instrument Apple Loops on audio tracks, they are imported as audio regions (and behave like blue Apple Loops). Processing load is reduced when green Apple Loops are added to audio tracks.+
+Note: Blue Apple Loops will not play if placed on instrument tracks.+

When I drag a loop into the arrange area, it sounds completely different from how it sounds in the loop menu. What am I doing wrong. (I've started using Logic 9 today)

When I drag a loop into my arrange area, it no longer sounds the way it did in my loops menu.

Hi, do you mean song key wise not sounding the same? Then this might be the reason:
Also you might find some interesting facts over here:

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.

Orchestral midi loops fx not translating to arrange

when i audition these orchestral loops in the media browser i hear them with massive reverbs, very convincing, perhaps a little bit overdone here and there but still impressive
when i transfer these to the arrange they lose all the effects and appear 100% dry
i'd be glad to know if there's a way to pull the media browser fx in to the arrange with the loop
thankz in advance
byz

you have to pull the midi loops on an audio track, and they will sound like you hear them in the loop browser, i guess the designers made that on purpose so you can fool around with your own settings, and kind of making me itch to find out how they did it.

Im not getting any sound when i select a track and put it in the arrange area

Im new to pro logic,, when i select a track and put it in the arrange area,, im not getting any sound when it plays.. I can hear it play in the list of samples, but not when its in the arrange area,,, help meeeeee

Are you putting the file on an instrument channel rather than an audio channel? That's one possibility. The track could be muted is another.

MIDI Loops sound different in preview

I'm a new user to Logic, and I'm confused about the green (MIDI) loops. When I preview one it sounds one way, but will sound different when I drag it to my arrangement, even when having it create a new track. On many of them it sounds like it's just missing some reverb, but the change is more drastic in others, eg. "Desire A Cellos", where it sounds like the wrong samples have been loaded.
Also I noticed that it loads instruments like "strings" and "piano" where I would expect it to be using the more sophisticated EXS sampler.
Is this normal?
If I listen to a loops like "Concert Hall Piano 4" it sounds way more realistic in the preview than it does when I let it play the MIDI in my track. My first thought is that this must be because the "Piano" instrument doesn't know how to handle the extra midi data such as expression.
Is anyone else having this problem, and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks,
-Emil

To answer this question, loops are created to be used with Garageband, so all of the instruments selected will use Garageband instruments.
The other more important question....I DON'T KNOW! Great question, I'm having the same issue with mine. I hope someone can shed some light on this. If you double click the 'strings' instrument in the channelstrip where you have your 'Desire A Cellos' and select the 'Cellos Pizzicato' preset instead of the 'Cellos' preset that is selected, you get much closer. It seems like it has defaulted to the wrong setting. Your right though, there's definitely some verb there too. And also, if you then change your song key, the loop in the arrange window should change with it, but mine is not.
HOWEVER....If you drag a GREEN loop into an audio channel instead of a MIDI channel, it will create an audio file loop (like the blue loops). As far as I can tell, they sound exactly as they should, and they do change keys. Still though, very strange. Perhaps tis a bug??

Hi i have a macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012 i noticed that the speakers are not that loud unlike before

hi i have a macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012 i noticed that the speakers are not that loud unlike before,
now when i play music or videos, the sound is not the same unlike before, then my brother noticed it too because he has a macbook pro 13 inch late 2011 as well, im just wondering whats the problem? the speakers on my bro's laptop is still loud, mine is becoming not that loud much unlike before, tnx!

Check your settings in System Preferences>Sound. If that does not help, perform a PRAM reset.

If that does not solve the issue, then a trip to an Apple store is in order.

Apple Midi loops... where are they located on my computer?

Hello -
I'm wanting to use the Garage Band midi loops in other audio programs. Where can I find them on my computer? I have no problem locating to .aif loops, but the midi loops are very well hidden. Are they even accessible? Any tips, hints?
thanks,
Derek

Are you talking about Photostream or are you just talking about importing your photos to your computer for safe storage? A sync does not do anything with photos in the Camera Roll. Syncing of photos goes in the other direction from the computer to the phone. The act of moving photos from the iPhone is an import, using whatever photo software you have on the computer, such as the Import utility for Windows computers and iPhoto for the Mac.

HT4864 How can I change my iCloud email to my AppleID email they are not the same

How can I change my iCloud email to my AppleID email? They are not the same and somehow were switched by my teenage daughter. I can access the account and change anything except my iCloud eMail account.

Hi itsjeffb,
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like your daughter may have set up an alias account under iCloud. Your AppleID email address may or may not be the same as you iCloud email address, depending on how it was set up. The following articles provide more information about iCloud email addresses and how aliases work under iCloud:

I am having trouble using reverb of any kind; it does not sound natural, but rather "pixilated." Does anyone have any ideas for a solution? I have used Silververb and Space Designer and am having the same problem...

I am using Logic Pro 9 with two MXL 990 microphones in my piano and a Rode NT1A for vocals. I have tried recording with added reverb and keeping getting not a natural reverb sound, but a rather "pixilated" one that does not sound natural. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this issue? I have tried using Silververb and Space Designer, and both result in the same problems. Thank you!

This is asking for the impossible! It does not sound natural because maybe it isn't and in judging so whats your reference anyway. If you are in dire need of some natural sounding room you can go and record it yourself. But even then, the chances that it sounds like you imagined it, are very slim.
There are very decent sounding reverberation plugins, based on artificial reverb generators or convolution-style, the last one is said to sound more 'natural' then the first one. Be it as it maybe, it really is like cooking food. You got all the ingredients for this delicious taste at hand and believe it or not to reach a satisfying result this is not enough, because if you do not mix the ingredients in the right proportion you will end up with a different dish you thought you'll get. This is exactly the same when one would mix audio, I dare say.
So treat yourself to some good ingredients and the rest is up to you, namely: taste and experience!
And looking at some of my past music productions I always find the same plugins for the 'ambient' task:
Altiverb by Audio Ease when I have acoustic ensembles (classical music mostly), the Sony Oxford Reverb in studio productions, Bricasti when I have to deal with drums and MMultiBandReverb from MeldaProduction for all-round stuff. Thats the base I start from, after that I can end up with dozen Reverb plugins which basically all are doing the same thing but just in a tiny different way.

When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library - but two are missing from the folder.

When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library, and all synced to the iPad - but the music from two of them are missing from the music folder. Questions are (a) where might they have gone? and (b) is there a way of "reverse loading" them back to my hard drive from the iPad? Thanks in advance!

Hi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

I just went through this and it appears that my Focusrite Saffire was the culprit. I connected all the outputs on the focusrite according to the way the jacsk on the back were labeled and then set up the multichannel speaker setup to match. Then I went into STP, created a pink noise clip and panned it around, the LFE, center and rears were not in the right place.
I reconnected the hardware to match the 5.1 pan pot in STP then changed the multichannel speaker setup to match. Everything appears to be correct now but I would have loved to have been able to just assigned the output busses to correct outputs in the saffire.
Next step is to pan that pink noise around with my SPL meter to calibrate the room.
