Mulitple controllers and multiple tracks at the same time

I have multiple keyboard controllers and rack modules. I would like to have each of them individually control their own midi tracks(connected to external rack modules) at the same time, so I can record live performances. Right now I create a track set the port and channel and I can play the desired external module one track at a time, but the second I try to use more than one controller they all play the same module.
I come from Pro Tools.... and in that program for each channel I am able to select an input port/channel and an output port/channel and it works fine, but in logic I can't seem to select an Input port/channel for the individual tracks, they all seem to be the same. Where or how would I do this so I can streamline my setup?

Question about cropping multiple tracks at the same time

Ok, here is the situation. My band jams reguarly, and I am recording 8 tracks concurrently.... each instrument gets their own mic/input.... typical band fare.
The recording will last a solid 45-60 minutes before we break. In the meantime, there is plenty of downtime, and multiple songs.
After the jam, I like to cut out the crap, bad takes, etc....
I do this by editing the waveform of each track individually, selecting the 'good region'.... copying the section ... and pasting into a new track... I repeat this 8 times... once for each track....
I then mute the original 8 tracks, move all the clips to timecode 0 and export to disk....
Needless to say, this is very, very time consuming, and I would like some input about a better way to do this.
Is it possible to select the same region across multiple tracks and copy/paste them into several new tracks? Or is it possible to define the 'playable region' of a larger region so that when I export, I am only exporting the region I am interested in?
Ultimately, I want to produce an exported .m4a for each 'good take' which is nothing more than a subset of the larger 60 minute take....

Have you tried selecting all tracks, then split at the beginning and ending of the "good take" then copy and paste it into a new GB file?

Fast/most efficient way to cut out of multiple tracks at the same time

I try to select by dragging around but it lights up the entire length of each tract- I can use the scissors to manually cut the tracks but there has to be a better way...any ideas?
Thanks, Don

I don't know if this is most efficient but here's my "home grown" way:
I place the section locator bars located at the top in the area I want to cut. You can fine tune this by zooming in close. I then right click on the track and use the split at locator function. I then can cut, drag or copy just that new, separate area. If you want to cut multiple tracks you can leave the locators where they are and repeat on all the tracks you want to split. I haven't tried selecting multiple tracks, and I'm not at my computer to try it right now.
Maybe there's a quicker way but that has worked for me!

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,
Jorge

Help with recording 2 tracks at the same time

Basically I recently purchased an Audio Interface (BEHRINGER XENYX Q802 USB) and I'm having trouble recording multiple tracks at the same time while using it.
When I set up 2 MONO tracks in my DAW (one using input 1, the other using input 2) all that happens is that I get a recording of one mic over both tracks in my DAW.
This is probably a beginner post and I have looked it up on YouTube etc. but it just doesn't work for me... Maybe it has something to do with my Interface, but any help will be much appreciated.

Hi Pancenter,
Unfortunately I don't have the manual as I purchased it from a friend who failed to provide me with the Manual.
But thank you for answering as this was what I needed to do.
Many thanks
Olie.

How to fade groups of images or multiple images at the same time?

I am creating a flash infographic, and want to fade images I have imported from Illustrator that are grouped. I would like to know how to fade these groups and multiple images at the same time.
Thanks!

Use TweenMax for this.
the syntax is like this:
var arrayOfDisplayObjects:Array = new Array();
//with arrayOfDisplayObjects.push(DisplayObject)
//you can put any DisplayObject in the Array and when you want to fade them call this
TweenMax.allTo(arrayOfDisplayObjects,1, { autoAlpha:0} );
//to fade them in 1 second to alpha=0 and when reaching the zero make them invisible (to save processing power)

I bought a bluetooth Bose speaker so I could listen to music from my imac in multiple rooms at the same time. I wanted to use BOTH my existing speakers using the headphone jack and add additional bluetooth speakers in other rooms, but the imac wants me to pick one or the other, is there a way to have both?

I asked same question

IS there a way to load and purchase different photos from iPhoto and ship them at the same time? the only way that I can find is to purchase each photo (or multiple of one) at a time, which increases the cost of shipping, as I want to get one print of 20

Is there a way to order multiple different prints in any quantity from Iphoto? it appears currently like I would have to ship each separately, even if only one print... is there a way around this so I can can get several DIFFERENT prints of any quantity and ship all at the same time?

Sure - easiest way is to make an album for photos you want to order and drag photos to it - when it is complete open the album, select all and order

How can I record an Audio Instrument (saxophone) and listen to a reference track at the same time?

How can I record an Audio Instrument, and listen to a reference track at the same time?

Are you using an external audio controller or the line-in and headphone jacks on the side of your computer? You shouldn't have an issue using headphones when you're recording through the line-in but you may want to make sure you have monitoring on and it's going to the right place.
If you're using an external audio controller, try making an aggregate device combining the controller and the "built-in output" into the same device. Go to Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup, click the "+" sign at the bottom left to make a new device and check the "use" boxes to the left of the physical devices you want to use as part of that aggregate device. That is how I use the computer's speakers or headphones to monitor my input as opposed to only being able to use the output on my audio controller.
Now that I see some of the questions on the side of this page I realize that the 13" MBPs seem to have only one combined input/output jack... That is an incredibly stupid feature. What on Earth could possibly justify that design decision? I suppose if that's the problem you're having you'll have to buy some sort of splitter (if they even make them) or get an external audio controller like an Apogee Duet or something along those lines. I would be furious if they combined those two jacks on all of the MBPs.

I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

Hi, I have this exact same problem. I haven't been using an iRig, just a cheap USB-jack cable. I managed to do this with the first cable I bought, but since it broke I've been unable to find a replacement that allows me to hear the drums while recording. DId you manage to get over this issue? If so I would really like to know how. Thanks and best wishes.

Every time i play a song in my i-tune 10.6, about up to half way mark, i-tune will automatically skip to the next track and playing it (next track) at the same time as the current track.

Multiple Inst tracks recorded @ the same time

I AM TRYIN TO RECORD TWO INST TRACKS AT THE SAME TIME USING TWO SEPERATE MIDI DEVICES. IS THIS POSSIBLE, AND IF SO HOW IS IT DONE ?
THANKYOU.

Ok, let's try step-by-step.
I'm assuming you already have in the arrange window two instrument tracks for Inst1 and Inst2 such that you can play/record each instrument individually.
Now proceed as follows
1. Open the environment and choose the Audio layer. From the New menu choose the Channel Splitter. It appears on the window. Make sure that its Icon box is checked in the parameter box. Then draw cables from output1 to Inst1 and output2 to Inst2.
2. Open the arrange window. Create a new track. Click and hold the track name, from the popup menu select (Channel Splitter). Voila, now we have the channel splitter track!
3. Make sure the channel splitter track is selected.
4. Make sure your midi devices are sending on midi channels 1 and 2.
Now you should be able to play and record both devices at the same time. The recorded notes will first appear on the channel splitter track. After recording select the region and apply 'Demix by Event Channel'. This will create two new tracks containing the recorded notes of each instrument. For playback drag both regions to the original instrument tracks.
Good luck! Feel free to ask if something doesn't work as expected.

Preview multiple video tracks at the same time.

This may have already been covered at some point on here but I was unable to find it. Please forgive me if it has.
I'm editing a 2 camera presentation for a company. I've laid both cameras in the sequence. Camera 1 is on V1 and Cam 2 on V2. They are in sync and ready to go. My questions is, "Can I preview or monitor both tracks at the same time as if I was switching this live?" I want to be able to preview cam 1 at the same time cam 2 is playing on the canvas so I know when to cut V2 and switch to V1. Is this possible to do in FCP? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Thanks!
Mike

It's not your only option, though you could do that if you wish.
You can still finish the edit with multiclip...(provided your clips are still in sync)
With your playhead at your last cut point, option-click on V1 to activate it's track selector as the only one active, then hit the 'f' key (this will load clip one in the viewer at that point in time). Set an inpoint on clip 1, the do the same for V2 (clip 2)
Next select both clips in the browser and hit control-click / Make Multiclip. Choose 'Synchronize using: In Points', click ok.
Now dbl-click the new multiclip in the browser, make V3 active and hit F-10 (overwrites the multiclip onto V3)Next, dbl-click the V3 multiclip in the timeline, go to the top/center button of the viewer and set the Sync to 'Open'. Then, single-click in an open space in the timeline, place your playhead at the head of the new V3 multiclip and hit the space bar. You should see both clips rolling in sync in the viewer.
Check the manual for Multiclip button bars and any additional settings like activating 'Multiclip Playback'.
K
PS - you might want to duplicate your working timeline to test this procedure, then you can always delete the old clips and drop your V3 multiclip on to V1 to finish the edit.

In Logic 9, is there any way of editing the take folders of, say, 7 different drum tracks at the same time, so that each track has the same changes applied to its takes?

Thanks. I know how to select multiple tracks in the mixer, did that and put on group clutch,
Hi
Wrong..
To assign tracks to a group, click in the dark gray box just above the automation (Read/Write/Off etc) on a channel strip, and select the group number you wish to use. The first tim eyou assign a group, the Group Setting swindow will appear automatically, thereafter you need to click on the group area and choose 'Open Group Settings'.
Make sure that you have turned off Group Clutch (this disables all Groups)
Maybe this will help
