Midi tracks loading slow

I'm using the trial version of AA 3.0 and the last few nights it seems that it is taking forever just to bring up a Midi track. Any reason's why?

I'm a little confused by your terminology. The speaker icon in the track header is for muting the track altogether, so you shouldn't hear it if it's clicked.
If your track volume slider is disabled, it means that you have an active volume automation curve (which probably was embedded in your midi file). If you don't want to use it, click the triangle on the right side of the track header, it brings up your automation controls. Click the blue indicator next to "track volume", and the curve will be diabled and the volume slider will become active again.

  • No output from recorded audio tracks, only midi tracks..please help

    I've been working on a song in Garageband and suddenly lost audio from real instruments and can only hear the midi from last night until today.  It consists of 3 midi tracks and 9 audio tracks.  I have software plugins or FX on almost all 9 tracks with amplitube or similar.  Things are slow as the arrow is red at the top, however last night I was able to still make changes - slowly.  I was able to do a mixdown and export to mp3.  Then I shut the computer down.  Today I open up Garageband and can only hear the midi tracks of my song however other songs I have work totally fine.  Nothing is muted and I've checked everything.  Levels meters are moving on all the tracks, I can just feintly hear one guitar track.  This is frustrating. I even tried locking half of the tracks and still nothing.  I've rebooted etc and same
    I'm running Lion with a TC Konnekt 8 sound module, on a 2.4 core duo 2 MBP with 4 GB of ram

    I ran onyx and did a clean up etc then rebooted, loaded GB and same problems.  I turned on the ducking thing, everything looked ok and then once I hit play everything worked again.  I've turned off ducking and it still works.  Could this be a glitch as I've never enabled it before

  • How to change the key of a MIDI track

    There has to be an easy answer for this.
    I have a Midi drum loop that I am using. I have changed the instrument so instead of the MIDI notes playing through a drum synth it is using one of logic's piano software instruments.
    What I am trying to do is change the KEY of this loop. It seems to only play in C. If I go to the piano roll, copy all the notes of the loop and move the notes up or down, I was thinking I should be able to alter the key/chord that the loop is playing. However, no matter what I do, the loop still seems to be in C.
    What is going on? And what can I do to easily change the key of this loop?

    How is Space Designer keeping the MIDI track in the same key of C
    I have no idea. I would normally think that such a thing is not possible.
    What is the instrument? What happens if you create a new track, and load this instrument, and create a new midi region, and load SD? Same problem? What about if you do this in a new project? Same problem?

  • Insert midi track takes 2 minutes

    When I try to insert a midi track it takes 2 to 3 minutes before it's added, during that time cpu usage is more then 50%.
    When I try to open a (AA2)session with midi tracks it will take for every midi track 2 or 3 minutes.
    AA2 and other programs don't have this kind of problems.
    Hope that this problem is known and that there is a solution.

    Hi Ton,
    Audition 3.0 has a completely new MIDI sequencer and while I don't recall experiencing such long load times as you've described, it will take a bit longer to load an Audition 2.0 session in Audition 3.0 as the MIDI tracks need to be converted to the new schema. This, however, should also not affect creating new MIDI tracks in a new session.
    MIDIHOST.DLL is the library that contains the functionality for the new MIDI Sequencer. It is technically a VST effect and acts as a host for VSTi instruments and MIDI track data. It will show up as an unsupported VST because, while technically a VST plug-in, it's integrated into Audition's multitrack back-end and is unlikely to function as a proper VST in Audition or any other host.
    Since this issue only appears to occur on your desktop and not your laptop, let's focus on what could be happening. My first recommendation would be to ensure your hard drive is defragmented. Next, I would probably recommend reinstalling - or running the Repair install - for Audition once more. If the issue persists, we can continue troubleshooting. It should take no more than a few seconds for the instantiation and creation of the new MIDI track to complete.
    Thanks,
    Durin

  • How can I do a simple MIDI track (no virtual instrument)?

    I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out how to do a simple MIDI recording. So far as I can tell, I can only record MIDI data if I select a virtual instrument for the MIDI track. When I used to use Cubase, I could just record the straight MIDI signal without having to select an "output" for it, and then load up whatever instrument I wanted to use later. Can I do that with Logic 9? I record some MIDI stuff live, and I'd like to not have to bog down my machine with running live virtual instruments.
    Mainly what I'm doing is recording the MIDI data of a set of VDrums, so that when I get to mixing later on, I can trash the crappy v-drum sounds and use DFH Superior for my drums.
    Much thanks for any advice ahead of time!

    Cool. I'll check this out and see if it's that easy for me. i feel like I tried that, but it wouldn't show any signal until I inserted a virtual instrument. I'll try again and make sure I do it right.
    What we're doing while playing live is using the Roland Vdrum sounds live (and recording the vdrum sounds themselves, as well), and also recording the MIDI data to a MIDI track. Later during mixing, I'll mute all the vdrum audio and pipe the MIDI track through DFH Sup. I have a v-drum preset I can then apply so that the MIDI data will trigger the software correctly. In the studio, I use DFH and listen to it during recording.

  • Mixing down - lost MIDI tracks

    Hi
    I have just started using GarageBand over the past couple of months. I have figured out all about locking tracks etc - or so I thought. I can get all the tracks to run fine (real audio and MIDI). The only thing is that when I export to iTunes, a couple of the MIDI tracks can be lost. Why???
    It all seems quite random. My MIDI keyboard is connected. And all the tracks are locked for mixing down. (Did I need to have the keyboard connected at the moment when I locked the tracks, maybe?) The funny thing is, on some songs I am hearing all the tracks, MIDI included.
    So, baffled...

    You don't need to have the keyboard connected for exporting the mix: and you don't need the tracks to be locked - that is to make it easier for the CPU to handle the load with a lot of tracks.
    As to the missing tracks, forgive me for asking, but are you sure you didn't click the mute button instead of the lock button? (We've all done things like that! - and it's worth starting with the basics). Anyway, try a mix without locking the tracks - perhaps that's the problem, and, as I say, there's no need.

  • Solo And Mute MIDI Tracks

    I set up 4 midi tracks using one instance of  Kontakt and loaded 4 instruments in Kontakt. I now have 4 recorded midi tracks. If I try to solo or mute one of the tracks all 4 tracks solo or mute. Is there another way to solo and mute these individual tracks besides in Kontakt itself?

    Click on View, in the window of interest, and select Solo.

  • SATB from 4 Midi tracks

    Hi - I'm new to Logic and my intention is to write down notation for my choir (SATB). I do have the voices on 4 MIDI tracks. Is there a way to bring my 4 voices in standard notation (SA on upper system, TB on lower) from MIDI to the scoresheet?
    Thanks!

    Either open both Projects side by side (only advisable with smaller projects)
    extra (esp. Logic 8 and 7) tip here: *disable coreaudio* (in the audio preferences) before opening the 2nd project. Enable again when done (when 2nd project has been closed). This prevents endless and patience-devouring loading of sampled instruments on every project-switch.
    Now do I get a ticket?
    For LP9 the Track Import option is much simpler (& safer ime).

  • I WEB loads slow and grey

    My iweb site which is hosted by .mac loads slow and grey on pc's. The grey goes away when loaded but I would rather not have that.
    Any suggestions?

    You are thinking along the right track. The problem is the PNGs so try to eliminate the PNGs. Where do the PNGs come from? Well, it turns out that iWeb converts your JPG images into PNGs if you let iWeb do ANYTHING at all to the image. This includes resizing, rotating, framing, opacity changes, drop shadows, reflections...anything.
    So what do you think the secret to minimizing PNGs is then??? Right....don't let iWeb do any of these image manipulations. Resize your images outside of iWeb if you can. Apply the effects that you like to your images before bringing them into iWeb. Etc, etc, etc...
    I know it seems like this is what you'd expect iWeb to do for you, but unfortunately a side effect of letting iWeb take care of these things is PNG conversion.
    Even after doing all that you can do, iWeb still has templated items that only exist as PNGs...so you will not be able to completely get rid of PNGs, but you can for a lot of things. That will help your site load faster in general and without those ugly grey boxes where YOUR images should be.

  • How do I bounce audio and midi tracks at the same time to burn a CD?

    Hi there,
    I would like to bounce a song with both audio and midi tracks recorded in it onto a CD.
    Despite ensuring that I am doing a realtime bounce (not offline) I am only getting the audio tracks burnt onto the CD - the midi isn't getting bounced to the final output.
    This must be a stupid question, if someone would be so kind as to give me an obvious answer I would be most grateful.
    Thankin y'all
    amata

    Hi A,
    if you use the instrument (with logic virtual synths) tracks for midi,
    it will.
    BTW, why don't you do it offline?
    It will be so much faster.
    Kindly regards,

  • How do I create multiple midi tracks each with separate external synthesizer sound

    Mac Pro OS 10.10.2, Logic Pro 10.1.1, FireFace 800 (updated), Roland XP-30 synthesizer/keyboard, Mackie mixer.
    XP-30 analog output to Mackie, FireFace monitor to FireFace main inputs and FireFace out to Mackie.
    What I can't get to work: Sound output for monitoring as I record on each of several midi tracks, each with access to my banks/programs.
    Logic automatically set up the multi-instrument and created 16 tracks, visible in the mixer window. I have entered custom banks for the XP-30 and they are working.
    Mt problem is two parts. First, my last experience was with Logic Pro 7 way back.
    Problem two is that when I create midi tracks (except for the first one I created on channel 1) by control-clicking on one of the tracks in the mixer window I get no sound for monitoring. I can see the green monitor indicator for the track shows midi data incoming. I just can't hear it. It's as if there is no designated output. I have checked audio preferences and see the FireFace as input and output device. If i change the channel to channel 1, I get the sound, but then I have two tracks on channel 1 which doesn't work for designating unique sounds to each track.
    I can select "All" for channel and get monitored sound on several tracks; however, they then all play the same sound, of course.
    i can create midi tracks (either instrument or external) using the plus icon, but no matter how i set them up that way, they do not allow me access to my banks/programs.
    In logic Pro 7 it was no problem creating multiple midi tracks, each with a different sound assigned to it. In Logic Pro 10, I am baffled regarding how to accomplish this and get it all to work as simply and nicely as I was able to with #7.
    Make sense? Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    I have it set to Performance mode which according to the owners manual: "This mode makes the XP-30 function as a multitimbral sound
    source, and Performance settings can be modified. If you’re
    using an external MIDI device to control the XP-30 in this
    mode, it will function as a multitimbral sound source."

  • The Need Of A Midi Track

    Hello, all. Very new to Logic here. Just asking a series of questions to try to continue my knowledge on this program. Here's one: Among others, there are audio tracks, audio instrument tracks, and midi tracks, correct? Okay. I understand audio tracks enough. Connect them properly to your audio interface, and your okay. Same with audio instruments, except they're going directly through Logic, as opposed to being externally generated.
    What about midi tracks though? I see on my start up template a bunch of midi tracks with labels on them - Grand Piano, Polysynth, Fingered Bass, etc . . . But, although I know how to get my audio and audio instrument tracks to (eventually) generate sound, I'm not quite sure how to get my midi tracks to do such.
    So I guess this is kind've a two part question then: 1) How do I get my midi tracks to generate sound? and 2) why midi tracks at all? I mean don't the audio instruments function as your midi tracks?
    I know I'm all over the place here in terms of my (jumbled) thought process.
    Anyone please try to respond to what you can.
    Thank you,
    Javier Calderon

    MIDI tracks work in conjunction with external MIDI devices, such as a hardware synth or drum unit. Sound is generated from those instruments. If you don't have one of those, you're not really missing anything (Logic has more than enough software instruments).

  • How do i save a midi track as a .smf?

    i need to save a looped midi region (click track) as an .smf, not a .mid. can't seem to find that option anywhere.

    what program uses the extension .smf? is it another music program?
    to use a logic midi track in another program you need to export it as a Standard Midi File (SMF) which has the .mid extension then you can import it into another music program. Logic does not convert midi tracks to any other extension except .mid

  • Oracle Forms loading slower with Sun JRE in Oracle E-Business Suite 11i

    Hi,
    After Deploying Sun JRE (Native Plug-in) for Windows Clients in Oracle E-Business Suite 11i (Note 290807.1) we find that Oracle Forms are loading slower than using Jinitiator.
    Also the PDF reports are opening in a minimized fashion. Meaning the PDF reports are opening correctly in new browser window (as expected) but is minimized.
    Customer is not willing to go live with Sun JRE due to these issues.
    Plz advice is there is any additional configuration I need to do.
    Rgds,
    Thiru

    When the JRE was installed/configured on the workstations was the jar cache placed on a LAN drive instead of the local drive? We have experienced poor performance with both the JRE and Jinitiator when the Workstation Sysadmins configured the jar cache to be located on a LAN drive. Also is the size of the jar cache on the workstation sufficient to hold all of your required jar files. It could be downloading the jar files all the time.
    Overall our performance with the JRE is comparible to the Jinitiator.
    Sorry I have not experienced the problem that you are having with you pdf reports so I can't provide any comments on it.
