Multiple ReWire Aux Strips in Logic 8?

I am running Reason 4.0 and Logic 8. How do I create unique channel strips in Logic to represent individual Reason instruments? Right now I have a Thor track, a Dr. Rex track and a Malstrom track set up in my Logic sequencer and they all work fine but they all play through the same Aux strip in my mixer window. I want to have unique Logic plug-ins assigned to each instrument's output. How would I set that up?

Logic doesn't read the patches created in Mainstage. However, you can open each channel strip setting onto an individual track in Logic then arm record them all at the same time. They should all then play at the same time.. and record the same MIDI info on each track.
I think the bus FX are the same too.. the settings can be recalled in Logic. You'd need to do it manually though, as opposed to importing the Mainstage patch and having everything configured for you.

New logic user, need help with multi-channel inst and aux strips.

Greetings all,
So I just purchased a new Mac Pro 2.66 and Logic Pro 7 to run with it. I have been a long time Nuendo/Cubase user on the PC side of things but since I got the Mac I wanted a DAW that was supported fully for the apple platform.
Anyways, its a world of difference and I am very confused as I wrap my head around the learning curve, so in the meantime I have one important question maybe some one could help me with.
The question is regarding Aux channel stips for Multi channel instruments. In this scenario I am working with Battery 3, it took me a while to understand that I actually needed to create these aux channels just to have seperate outs in Battery which seems really wierd and overly time consuming.
As an example in Nuendo once you create the instance of Battery, the audio mixer automatically just creates the corresponding stereo and mono channels instantly. This obviously makes is a sinch to assign Batteries pads to seperate outs for eq/comps for seperate sounds.
Now the Battery manual doesnt even make a reference to Aux channels for assigning outs in Logic, I actually had to do a Google search to figure this out.
Anways, sorry for rambling...
Here is the main issue.... How can I quickly and easily create multiple Aux's? In the mixer there is really only enough room in there to add like 1 more Aux strip, if I want to add more than that I need to re-arrange the entire global mixer which seems like a crazy system, surely there must be a more convenient method for getting muti-channel audio instruments set up quicker.
Any help you can assist with would be exceptional!
Thanks in advance.

Not sure what exactly your question is, especially since I don't use battery. But as far as creating aux tracks:
• go to the audio layer of the environment (not the track mixer window), find the two defalt aux tracks
• Highlight all tracks to the right of the aux tracks (these should be bus and output tracks), and drag to the right far enough to fit in a bunch of aux tracks; you might even want to drag the all underneath the aux tracks, if your screen accomodates
• use the key command shift-command-a multiples times to create several new "audio objects", and double click each one to expand
• highlight all the new objects and select options/clean up/ align objects (makes it look nicer)
• still highlighted, over in the parameters section (left side) select a channel, setting it to the highest number aux (at this point, probably "aux 3")
• now individual set the channel for each aux track – you'll see that now you have available "aux 4"; next time you set a successive track you'll see "aux 5" and so on
• once you've got things set up the way you want, save it as a template so you don't have to do this again later

Ultrabeat and Multiple outputs into a new Aux strip???

Hello,
I am new to Logic and have not been able to get a new Aux strip to take inputs from the multiple outputs ultrabeat has to offer (i.e. output 5-6). I tried to follow a tutorial I found in the help window, but couldn't get it to work. In the tutorial, when a new Aux strip is created, in the input pull down there is an option to select instruments>Ultrabeat>5-6. When I set up an Aux strip, no instrument option shows up in the input pull down. What do I do? I noticed that the tutorial I am looking at was made in 2005, and I am working in Logic Pro 9. So, maybe the issues is with the different versions. How have other logic 9 users done what I am trying to do?
Thanks for the help.

if you didn't click the + sign in the mixer (as Sampleconstruct suggests) which automatically creates stereo and mono Auxes for that UB instance and you have created the Aux Channels in the environment etc ....by default they are in mono ...if you click on the bottom of the channel to set it to stereo then you'll see the instrument

Create New Auxilliary Channel Strip in Logic X ? Taken Away ?

Using create new channel strip setting seems to have been removed or is it a bug ? I took the plunge only to find that a lot has changed in the new DAW. I am particularly distressed that one of the best features on Logic 9 has been removed or just DOES NOT WORK. When this feater used to allow me to create multiple AUX channels with the same BUS or have them ascend or descend. This does not seem to be the case anymore. Is anyone out there having the same issue ? In X it just spits out a channel which it should not do . It should allow you to say how many channels and where you want them routed. This seems like a backwards more for Logic. Very dissapointed.

I've got Core Audio going, and my interface is MOTU 828 mkII. My typical workflow has been with Universal Track Mode (UTM) deactivated. What I have seen is that when UTM is enabled on my sessions, the Aux channels switch from stereo to mono with the fader rotated all the way to the left.
That's what I saw when opening my session under the re-installed Logic, which defaulted to UTM enabled. So, I disabled UTM. But now, when creating new Aux strips, I get mono channels even when requesting stereo channels.
Also - typically, when I enable a bus send on an audio channel, the corresponding bus channel would appear in my Mixer. Now, that's not happening.
Thanks for your feedback thus far, Erik. - j

Anyone know how to automate aux tracks on logic 8.02??

hey Guys,
So heres the question; How does one automate the aux tracks on Logic?? I am trying to automate the EQ on one of my aux tracks (since im using multiple outs on a multi output instrument). They dont even show up on the arrange page for me to automate, plus i cant seem to find anything in the instruction manual on how to do this.
Does nyone have any ideas?
thanks
Sunny

Hi,
You have to make the aux track show up in the arrange window by going to your mixer, ctrl-click anywhere in the channel strip of the aux track, and choose 'create/select arrange track' from the little pop-up. That's it!
regards, Erik.

Loading multiple physical records into a logical record

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this thread.
I have to import data from a fixed length positioned text file into a oracle table using sql loader.
My sample input file (which has 3 columns) looks like:
Col1 Col2 Col3
1 A abcdefgh
1 A ijklmnop
1 A pqrstuv
1 B abcdefgh
1 B ijklmn
2 A abcdefgh
3 C hello
3 C world
The above text file should be loaded into the table as:
Col1 Col2 Col3
1 A abcdefghijklmnpqrstuv
1 B abcdefghijklmn
2 A abcdefgh
3 C helloworld
My question: Is there a way tht i can use the logic of loading multiple physical records into a logical record in my oracle tables. Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Kulash,
Thanks for your reply.
The order of the concatenated strings is important as the whole text is split into several physical records in the flat file and has to be combined into 1 record in Oracle table.
My scenario is we get these fixed length input files from mainframes on a daily basis and this data needs to be loaded into a oracle table for reporting purpose. It needs to be automated.
Am still confused whether to use external table or a staging table using sql loader. Please advise with more clarity as am a beginner in sql loader. Thanks.I still think an external table would be better.
You can create the external table like this:
CREATE TABLE     fubar_external
(      col1     NUMBER (2)
,      col2     VARCHAR2 (2)
,      col3     VARCHAR2 (50)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(       TYPE             ORACLE_LOADER
     DEFAULT DIRECTORY XYZ_DIR
     ACCESS PARAMETERS (
                             RECORDS DELIMITED BY     NEWLINE
                      FIELDS (   col1        POSITION (1:2)
                                  ,   col2        POSITION (3:4)
                           ,   col3        POSITION (5:54)
     LOCATION        ('fubar.txt')
);where XYZ_DIR is the Oracle Directory on the database server's file system, and fubar.txt is the name of the file on that directory. Every day, when you get new data, just overwrite fubar.txt. Whenever you query the table, Oracle will read the file that's currently on that directory. You don't have to drop and re-create the table every day.
Note that the way you specify the columns is similar to how you do it in SQL*Loader, but the SEQUENCE generator doesn't work in external files; use ROWNUM instead.
Do you need to populate a table with the concatenated col3's, or do you just need to display them in a query?
Either way, you can reference the external table the same way you would reference a regular, internal table.

Aux strip mono/stereo problems

Gday,
I am having inconsistent results with creating stereo aux channel strips.
I'm using aux channels for submixes and effects routing.
In some projects (created in earlier versions) if I select stereo in create new aux strips I get mono strips - usually without stereo/mono switches on bottom left of strip.
In new projects I get stereo channels with stereo audio inputs ok, but only mono bus inputs.
Any ideas on what I am missing please?
Thanks
Mana

Enable Universal Track Mode in your Preferences (Audio->devices->Core Audio) and try again.

How do I send a stereo signal to an AUX channel in Logic?

Hi Peeps,
I'm currently using Logic Studio 8 and I'm getting really annoyed with the fact that when I take a send 'post fader' from a stereo audio channel to a stereo AUX channel, the post fader signal seems to ignore any panning adjustments. Its like the send is only sending a mono image??? For instance, if I pan a synth track hard left I can still hear the wet reverb signal on my AUX track on the right, its annoying! I could always pan the AUX channel left, but obviously I would like to use that AUX channel for effecting numerous tracks, not all of which will be panned hard left!
I dont have this problem in pro-tools as you can choose to send the signal to a mono or stereo bus channel, but I cant find an option for this in Logic for love nor money!
Help!
Orbz

Hi Orbz,
There are 3 Send modes in Logic:
• Pre Fader (original signal is sent before it reaches the channel strip's fader etc.
• Post Fader (sent before volume fader adjustments)
• Post Pan (send before volume fader and Pan/Balance adjustments).
Click and hold on the Send slot in your synth channel strip and select Post Pan fro the drop-down menu.
Funnily enough I've just finished writing a tutorial about this very topic!! It's not published yet, but will appear on the macProVideo.com blog in the coming days...

Multiple Data Sources In One Logical Table

I am new to OBIEE and I have came accross an issue. I appologize if this information is in the forum somewhere but I have searched and cannot find it.
My situation is that I would like to have one logical table that contains multiple data sources which have all the same columns. I already have session variables setup to differentiate the user's security through a row-wise variable for a specific column and a session variable for another column which determines the user's association to the data source in which they belong to. This security works well when the data sources are seperated in the Business Model and Mapping portion but the issue that arises is that the user's cannot share reports when the data sources are seperated in the BM&M.
I have dragged and dropped a table from the Physical model to the BM&M, I then dragged the second data source (with same meta data structure) over to the "Sources" folder in the first data source table in the BM&M. On the Content tab or each data source table I have defined the WHERE clause as such, where VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") session variable is my row-wise column filter and the VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP") filter is my data source determinative:
sandbox."".SANDBOX.OBIEE_CROSS_ENROLLMENTS.HOME_SCHOOL = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") AND sandbox."".SANDBOX.OBIEE_CROSS_ENROLLMENTS.DATA_SOURCE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP")
Unfortunatley this only returns values in the BI Answers for the first drag and drop Pysical table in the BM&M layer and not the second Physical table drug into the "Sources" folder. I have also tried to create a new logical table and drag both tables into the "Sources" folder to no avail. I have experimented with the Fragmentation content on the "Content" tab of the seperate logical tables, checking the "This source should be combined with other sources at this level", which gives me an error in BI Answers that a column does not exist which really does.
What could I be missing? Advanced thanks to those who reply.
Thank you,
Kyle

Stijn,
Thank you for the article link. That was very helpful! It seems that I had a few things off as you do need the "This source should be combined with other sources at this level." checked. In my two table source columns for DATA_SOURCE I defined a literal ('086496' and '085597' for the other) in the Column Mapping tab. I pasted the following in the Fragmentation content, checking the "This source..." box on the Content tab:
eSIS.SANDBOX4_SCHOOLS.DATA_SOURCE = '086496'
And pasted the following into the WHERE clause, checking "Select distinct values" on the Content tab:
sandbox4."".OBIEE.NWOCA_SCHOOLS.SCHOOL_CODE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") AND sandbox4."".OBIEE.NWOCA_SCHOOLS.DATA_SOURCE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP")
This took care of my user's security, utilizing the session variables in the WHERE clause. I am now able to generate reports that only one user can access from one data source and share that same report with another user who can only see data from the other data source.
Many thanks!!!

Reason rewire not working with Logic 9.1.8,Help!

I need help on Rewiring Reason 6.5.3 with Logic 9.1.8
I've done everything that's been told how to rewire Reason and Logic (tutorials on youtube / on the Propellerhead website) I had no problem with it before 6.5 / 6.5.1
But after I updated to 6.5.3.I just cant get rewire working. When I click Reason after I open Logic. The Logic library is empty. I do have automap 4 as well. I'm not sure if that's the problem.
I even checked Reason's Option>Sync. Rewire is not able to be selected and the rewire light on the hardware interface is never on.
I've tried uninstall reinstall from 6.5 ,but still not working.....
Can someone help.....This is suppose to be easy.....Thanks!

Advanced Aux usage in Logic

I've been trying to use my aux as a trigger for my SSD drums to filter out bleed thru from other Toms ect.. but I don't understand how to set it up in Logic. SSD told me what to do and I understand what the concept is but it's the "getting around" in Logic that has me puzzled. Here's what they said to do:
Setting this up is as easy as pie but does require another instance of TRIGGER to be activated on a stereo group or aux track which you must send it the drum track that you wish to replace routed to the LEFT channel of this new group track and send the track you wish to use as the suppressor to the RIGHT side of the Trigger group. Adjust the Suppression control in the upper left portion of the display and hey presto suppressing bleed from other drums without any filtering or crazy EQ!
Are there any video tuturials that would show me how to do this in Logic? Once, I see how it's done, I'm sure that I will understand. Thanks!

Logic Express only supports 8 aux objects. Thus, you can use any 8 mono OR stereo soft synth outputs.
I use BFD All with LE7.2 and I use the following tracks:
BFD Audio Instrument track - overheads (BFD 1/2)
Aux 1 - room (BFD 3/4)
Aux 2 - PZM (BFD 5/6)
Aux 3 - Kick In (BFD 7...note, I mix internally within BFD to send the Kick In and Out mics to the Kick In output)
Aux 4 - Snare Top (BFD 9...again, submix includes top and bottom)
Aux 5 - Hats (BFD 11)
I'll then use up the other 3 auxes with some combination of tom and cymbal direct mics, depending on the track in question (i.e don't waste auxes on tom mics if toms aren't important in the song...the OH and room mics pick up enough toms)
Basically, while the underlying architecture of Logic supports 32 soft synth outs, LE can only use the first 8. IMHO, this is a serious, and entirely artificial limitation of the program, which NEEDS to be changed to allow LE to compete with other mid-range sequencers (PT LE, I'm looking at you).

[ReWire] How to use Logic's MIDI channels only

Sorry for the rather vague subject title, but I can't come up with a better one.
Let me explain the situation:
I'm working on a project with several audio and MIDI tracks and also two ReWired Reason4 instruments, all routed to their corresponding Reason device. (the MIDI information is coming out of Logic and being routed to Reason and the audio is then routed back into Logic)
My problem is with Logic's own MIDI channels. When I record enable one of these (Logic) channels and I play my MIDI keyboard, Reason also responds to that and plays one of the instruments.
So I hear the Logic instrument as well as the Reason instrument. To put it in the easiest way possible, I don't want that.
Is there a way to make Logic stop sending out MIDI information to it's ReWire slave, when a non-rewire channel is record enabled?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hmm that makes perfectly sense... that I haven't thought of that myself
I will try tonight. Thanks!

Have Melodyne/Rewire file bugs per Logic 8 been fixed?

I'm about to do a clean install of Leopard on my system drive (and the online upgrade to 10.5.3), followed by installation of Logic Pro 8.0.2 and Melodyne Studio 3.2.2.2. Trusted users on this forum have reported problems with Logic following installation of the Melodyne Bridge and/or Rewire files.
I'm wondering whether these bugs have been fixed and whether the Melodyne Bridge is now working and crash-free in Logic 8 -- assuming one is running Melodyne 3.2.2.2 or, according to the tech at Celemony/Melodyne, any version of Studio 3.2.2.0 or later.

The problem is nothing to do with Logic as such. The problem is with the Melodyne Rewire stuff on Leopard.
I think Celemony have a forum - might also be worth asking over there. I know they have issued an update recently, so they might have fixed it...
