Musical typing - setting volume

I'm using this for a drum track. Say I record kick, snare and high hat. Can I open the track view, highlight the midi bars for the high hat and set their volume separately? If no, could I cut the high hat out and paste it into a new track, adjusting the mix that way? Any suggestions of a more efficient way would be appreciated. I would really like to be able to do something similar to musical typing (for drums) in pro tools, but I don't believe it's an available option.. Without having to pay for a plugin.
Thanks,
Adam

Hi adam79,
You may be better off recording each instrument as a separate track, rather than as a set. This allows you to set volume for each instrument separately. See this article -

How do I use my computer keyboard instead of a MIDI keyboard to enter notes? In Garage Band I simply go to View - musical typing but there is no such prompt in Logic Pro 7.

Ihave always used my Logic Pro 7 program with a MIDI keyboard for note entry. I do not presently have a MIDI keyboard and wish to use my computer keyboard for note entry. I know this is possible but cannot recall the command to set that up. Can anyone refresh my memory? I know that on Garageband on just need to go to view - musical typing but that is not the command in Logic Pro.

Hi,
Hit the Caps Lock key.

How to set Volume for Nokia N95(8GB)

Hey,
I own a Nokia N95 (8GB)
works rather well...
Some how i have managed to damage the Volume Buttons on the side of the phone and my volume for my music is set to the default "Volume Level"...(Which isn't very loud)
I need some help 'how to higher the volume without using those buttons on the side'
Please,
thanks Brad

Doh!
You're right! Connect the remote (Like the AD-54) and use the remote to control the volume.

Musical Typing not working as MIDI input

Hi all,
I recently bought and downloaded Logic Pro X for the intention of producing music at home. Whilst I am still getting things bought and sorted I have yet to buy a MIDI controller to use and thought I would get by, to start with, using the mac keyboard and musical typing. It was all fine to start with, but after playing around with some settings, I find that mysical typing is failing to provide any input into Logic whatsoever. I've tried looking for answers elsewhere to no avail and I would really appreciate it if someone on here could help me solve this issue.
Thanks!

You mean that it was not like that when you opened the click & ports layer? This is the default config, so maybe the troubles are specific to your project?
What if you create a New project from the Empty template?
"Reset all MIDI drivers" should, if anything, have brought it back. I just tried it, and it does not disconnect my MT keys here. "RaMd" can clear up MIDI controller lag that has built up in long sessions, that's what I (very occasionally) use it for.
The next step to take (if the behaviour is still erratic in a fresh new project) is to reboot your Mac. If that doesn't do it either, trash Logic preferences. If that doesn't help, I give up.

Unable to set volume attribute "min-autosize" for volume

We have a TDP volume(destination), that is in snapmirrored state from 7Mode to cDOT.While trying to resize/increment the volume size by say 100g we get the following error. clusterName> volume size volumneName -vserver vserverName +100gWarning: Volume "vserver:volumeName" is a SnapMirror destination volume. The Filesystem Size for this volume is derived from its source and cannot be changed. The specified size will be used as the Volume Size.
Do you want to continue? {y|n}: y Error setting size of volume "vserver:volumeName". Unable to set volume attribute "min-autosize" for volume
"volumeName" on Vserver "vserverName". Reason: Volume 'volumenName' is a snapmirrored volume.
vol size: Flexible volume 'volumeName' size limit set to 8022664413184. Any idea ? Volumes autosize mode is false.

Hi I am not trying to change any setting. I am trying to increase the size of the volume. I understand in case of a Snapmirrored volume the fs_fixed options is ON.But one can always increase the actual volume size using vol size command. Even if I increase the size on ONTAP on the file system side it will show as the size same as source. I understand that. So my question is why is it prevenitng me from increasing the size.

Musical typing problem ... help?

Hi,
I just installed Leopard. I was previously running 10.3 and I had garageband and everything worked fine. I put garageband on the 10.5 and I no longer have musical typing. When i select software instrument it is asking me if i want to save the instrument or discard it. I have tried both options and neither of them allow the typing to work. Does anyone know why this is? Am I looking at a compatibility issue? Garageband is version 3.0.5 i think ... it may be 3.0.4 but i thought the update just went through.
Thanks in advance for any help
Nick

I even restarted my computer but nothing happens. Is there a way to reinstall the program??

Musical Typing problem

Hello there,
I just started to use mainstage without a midi controller keyboard. I'm using the musical typing feature to listen to the bank of sounds.
When i type something like a F#7 chord ("t", "u", "o", ";") i cannot hear the four notes together (when i'm playing them all at once)... it seems there's a problem when i'm trying to mix certain notes with the musical typing keyboard. (Some complicated chords just don't work).
I have the same problem with Logic 8 . (press caps lock to see the musical typing window).
I can't see why i can't get that F#7 chord.
I'm using mac os 10.5.1 with a macbook pro 2,4 ghz.
thanks

Computer keyboards aren't designed to respond to multiple keys all pressed at once. I think you'll find the most a standard Mac keyboard will deal with is four keys at once, but even then they won't respond with minimal latency, because they aren't designed for this.
It's a limitation to how computer keyboards are built and processed, not a Logic/Mainstage issue as such. The caps lock keyboard is a convenience thing - it's not intended to be a suitable interface for playing Rachmaninov on...

Try this.
Function Set-SpeakerVolume{
Param (
[switch]$min,
[switch]$max,
[int]$Percent
$wshShell = new-object -com wscript.shell
If ($min){
1..50 | % {$wshShell.SendKeys([char]174)}
ElseIf ($max){
1..50 | % {$wshShell.SendKeys([char]175)}
elseif($Percent){
1..50 | % {$wshShell.SendKeys([char]174)}
1..($Percent/2) |% {$wshShell.SendKeys([char]175)}
Else{
$wshShell.SendKeys([char]173)
This works in Windows 8.1.

Garageband 10.0.1 - no "legacy", no way to drag samples to musical typing??

All I have on my MacBook is Garageband 10.0.1, no previous versions. It is a legit copy, and I've purchased all the additional loops, sounds, etc....I'm simply trying to drag a loop or .mp3 sound onto a key on the "musical typing" screen to play it, either using the musical typing or from my Midi controller. It will not let me drag any sound from the loop finder, a track, or my desktop onto any key. I've searched and searched, and everyone says to go into the "Legacy" library and use a sound effet track, but I don't have any "legacy" library.....Help?!?

I think you already said this, but what I do is drag it from my desktop (or wherever it may be), into the track. Once it's on the track I open up the "Musical Typing" and then drag it from the track onto the key. I'm also having an issue with the legacy instruments. I wiped my Mac and reinstalled Mavericks along with Garageband and all the iLife stuff from the App store and now I no longer have legacy instruments even after restoring my $4.99 purchase. I won't use GB until I get the legacy stuff back.

Help! I lost my musical typing keyboard

Hello,
I have worked in GarageBand for about a month since I got my new Macbook. However, somehow I lost the box for musical typing, the one that shows the keyboard. Thus, I can't continue on my song unless I painfully enter my ideas note by note.
I'm not really sure what I did and I have no clue how to fix it. Still, I'm pretty sure it is easy to fix... for someone else!
Please help!
Emma

the only other thing i can offer is a program i wrote a couple of years ago to try to fix GB4 files (it's never been tested on GB5 files):

I just realized that I put this in the wrong section. It should be in Garageband 3. If anyone knows how to move it, it would be appreciated. thanks

HP Pavilion dv7-3170ez: volume indicator not showing when setting volume

Hi
I own a Pavilion dv7-3170ez, and when I change volume using the volume touch-slider on top of the keyboard, volume is adjusted accordingly but no volume indicator appears on the screen.
Previously, while setting volume, a speaker icon with a slider popped out in the middle of the screen showing current volume level.
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium and both Windows Update and HP update shows that I have latest version of software. Also, I've the latest version of the BIOS installed.
As a side note: the touch buttons on top (volume, speaker and wireless enable, etc.) stopped working a few days after the volume indicator disappeared, I fixed that by plugging off power and disconnectiong battery for a while. Still, the indicator is yet not showing. Not sure if this is related (I guess not).
Thanks
This question was solved.

The Volume OSD is a function HP MediaSmart Menu. It will need to load on start up. To do that, go to msconfig, and make sure it is checked under the Startup Tab....

Onscreen Keyboard & Musical Typing enhancements

I do not remember these enhancements with GB3... there are now icons on the onscreen keyboard to swap back and forth between the keyboard and musical typing - this is a nice touch. Also, I noticed that when playing a MIDI file, if you have the musical typing screen displayed, you can follow along with the notes being played. Another nice touch for learning.

I do not remember these enhancements with GB3...
Both are brand new to GB08

"set volume with/without output muted" in Objective-C?

I have a couple of one-line AppleScript scripts to mute and "unmute" my computer's volume:
set volume with output muted
and
set volume without output muted
I would like to implement the same functionality in Objective-C, so that I can use it within a Cocoa app.
I've looked into the reference documentation for (e.g.) CoreAudio, but this is clearly geared to people coding complex audio apps, and I'm quickly swamped by information that looks like far more than I should need to mute/unmute the machine's main volume control.
Could someone help me focus my search for info on how to implement this task?
TIA!
G.

Normally I'd recommend the Scripting Bridge, but in your case it's very simple so let's keep it simple. Just use NSAppleScript ...
NSAppleScript* as = [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource:@"set volume 0"];
[as executeAndReturnError:nil];
0 will mute, 1 through 10 will set volume unmuted. Or you can use your Applescript's in place of mine.
