MIDI Regions don't play "the note before" (in session -- quick help needed)

In Logic 4.8.1, if a note was recorded at 4.4.4.237, it would play on the downbeat if playback was started at bar 5.
However, in Logic 7.1 the behavior is different -- notes played slightly before the beat don't play on the beat as described above. How can I replicate this behavior in Logic 7.1 ?
(And yes, the Transpose checkbox is unchecked in all MIDI tracks).
Thanks in advance for any advice!!

Perhaps the Quantize option will do what you want. It's located in the Parameters box on the left. It will put each note at the quantum you tell it. For instance, setting it to 1 note will put each note played at a beat. You can set 1/2 notes, 1/8, 1/16 and so forth; you basically put the highest resolution you think you can play
If you click outside any region you will get the MIDI Through parameters box which will set the default quantization when recording so you don't have to set manually for each track.

Midi keyboard does not play the note F2.

Hey guys,
My Logic is running fine overall but this one thing is realy upsetting: My usb midi keyboard (Alesis q25) does not play the note F2. If I press the key on the midi keyboard the note is not shown in the transport area (or transport field? don't know the correct english word) BUT when I release the key it shows that the note is not played anymore (a crossed note appears and next to it it says: F2_ _64). Furthermore it is not a problem of the hardware because when I use another octave the same key makes the midi files play but another key, now assigned to F2, is not working anymore. The caps lock keyboard is working fine so i think there is a problem with the midi setup but logic is not really making it easy for me to reassign the keyboard completeley. Could anyone help me please?
I apologize for any grammar or spelling mistakes.
cheers

figured it out my self. cmd+k and then delete any assignments

MIDI regions won't play back in Logic X

Suddenly my MIDI regions won't play back. I can hear the notes when when I play on my MIDI controller and when I mark the MIDI notes in the piano roll, but not when play it back in the arrange window. This worked fine the last time I opened the project.
- I have done a restart of all my equipment, computer and Logic.
- Nothing is muted - not the track or the regions.
- The MIDI in/out in the piano roll is ON.
- The channel strip setting is set to ON.
- This applies to all instruments.
- It works as usual for MIDI written using the pen tool, but not for MIDI played on the keyboard.
- MIDI channel are set to 1 (as seen in the event window).
- Instrument channel is set to "all".

See if this is the problem.
Is this an imported Logic 9 project file?
Check the track Inspector settings and see if you have any over the top values for some of the settings (like Delay)

Hi m.cohen1220,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If it is consistently selecting something away from the location of your tap, especially if it's happening in multiple apps, you may have an issue with the display response.

How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
Cheers,
Jack

First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop). Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts. Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards). You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
Good luck.

MIDI files don't play correctly in QuickTime

I believe this is a bug in QuickTime, but since I don't expect the typical QuickTime user to understand this, and because I am generating the MIDI files with Logic, I thought this forum is an appropriate play to post this.
I'm producing some MIDI files that I would like people to easily be able to playback without installing special software. So that means using QuickTime.
The problem is QuickTime does not handle MIDI program changes properly. I put together a simple test case, it's just the notes C D E F and before each note it changes the MIDI program to 0, 10, 20, 30 respectively. So every note should sound different. When I play it with QuickTime, on either OS X or Windows, it does not play correctly. It seems the program change messages lag behind by one note.
To make sure this wasn't a problem with the MIDI file, I have tried playing it with:
* a hardware synthesizer
* SimpleSynth (a freeware program)
* AU DLS Synth (using Max/MSP to play the MIDI)
* WinAmp
* Windows Media Player
In all these cases, the playback occurs exactly like I would expect. So... QuickTime can't handle program change messages? Has anyone else experienced problems with this? Anyone know of a workaround? How about some easy alternatives to MIDI playback on Mac for people who don't have Logic?
I tried to find a workaround: I made the program changes occur well before the note-on, but that didn't help. I also tried sending multiple program changes to try to force QuickTime to listen. That didn't work either.
I have QuickTime 7.5.5. If someone else can verify this is a QuickTime bug, I will submit a bug report to Apple.
The file I used for testing is here: http://stashbox.org/262021/program-change-test.mid

Adam,
I can confirm this behavior on both Tiger 10.4.11 (QT 7.4.5) and Leopard, (QT 7.5.5).
I messed around with it and almost had it working by using a +30-tic offset on all events. The problem seems to be a good sized buffer used by the QT synth. If there is a solution I think it will be an initial offset by --- number of tics.
I'd also separate the program change and note event by at least a couple of tics.
Like this example using a 60-tic offset.
1 1 1 60 PG
1 1 1 62 Note on
2 2 2 60 PG
2 2 2 62 Note on
Good luck, let us know how it goes.
Back in the day I used to do MIDI files for commercial distribution, I know how
frustrating it can be. Trying to get consistent sound over a variety of GM/XG synths.

Spacebar is entering midi regions instead of playing my track

Hey guys
I'm having a really strang problem and I can't figure out what happend. Everytime I try to play my track using the spacebar it doesn't work. It just enters a new empty midi region. I've looked at the Keycommands and just can't figure out what to do.
I've rebooted my system and still nothing!!!
Anybody knows what might be the problem?
Cheers

You "looked at" you keycommands? And?
Here's a tip: in the keycommand window, make sure the list is highlighted (as in the pic). Then click the "Key" column header, then hit the spacebar: the first command assigned to it will be selected. Hit spacebar again and the next command assigned to it will be selected, etc. I believe by default the spacebar is assigned to two commands: Play or stop and Play/Stop Selection. If it is indeed also assigned to creating a region, then simply delete that assignment.
If it is not, then simply restarting Logic or even restarting your Mac might help.

Is it possible to automate software instrument parameters in a MIDI region? And alias the region with the automation?

I am trying to track down a detail about how automation works in Logic Pro X.
What I want to know is:
1. Can I draw control-point curves (and smoothly bend them) in a MIDI region to automate a software instrument parameter (and/or smart controls)?
2. Can a region containing this automation be aliased and reused around the timeline (without the automation points being duplicated)?
If this is possible, can someone please post a couple of screenshots - a MIDI region with MIDI Draw automating (for example) the cutoff of an ES M, and screenshots of aliases around the timeline?
thanks!!

First, I'd recommend going to Track>other>new with same instrument. This gives you a blank lane to make a region with no notes.
Now, there are two strategies: do some track automation and then convert it to region. You can go into the local view menu and find the option to view MIDI automation and still adjust it. Now you can make aliases of that region. You need to be careful of accidentally writing new track automation, which is easy to do and can happen if you have 'move automation with regions' on for instance. If you make sure and delete all the track auto for this parameter you should be good (the line should be barely visible black, if it is highlighted in color, that means there is at least one active node at the beginning). If the parameter freaks out, instead of following your curve, you can bet there is track automation fighting with the region automation, you might need to tell the automation menu in the track header to show the parameter in question. None of this is a big deal and after doing it once you'll see.
The other strategy is to assign a controller to a parameter (or use the quick MIDI things on certain instruments - you mentioned ES2, which has that) and you can use the hyper draw in the piano roll. The view tip from the first strategy still works so you can edit the automation in the arrange. I prefer the first strategy because the knob you are automating will still move.
If you go to audio tuts plus (something like that) you can find a tut on the first method that's a few years old, and from Logic 9. Basically the same, you just have to look through different menus for everything.

HT1390 I just rented a movie on itunes but I don't know how to make it play. I clicked out of itunes and now when I go back into itunes, I don't see a way to play the movie I just downloaded. Help.

I am a new at this. I just rented and downloaded a movie, clicked out of iturnes and now when I go back into itunes, I don't see a way to play the movie that I just downloaded ten minutes ago. I just want to watch it on my laptop.
Help.

Welcome to the Apple Community Vane_paranormal.
If you rent a movie on your phone, you have to watch it on your phone, likewise if you rent it from the Apple TV you will have to watch it there.
If you want to watch a rental on multiple devices, rent it from a computer.

Since i download the new version of i tunes i canot play the songs of my library...it say that "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found" what i do to just play the songs directly? please someone help

since i download the new version of i tunes i canot play the songs of my library....it say "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found".
would you like to locate it.i just want to play directly..what i do? please help thanks

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
