New audio track in arrange page problem

In the LSA I have 64 audio tracks and 32 audio instruments set up. When I open Logic, my autoload contains 16 audio tracks and my environment is configured as I set it up in the LSA. Everything is as it should be. However, when I select track 16 in the arrange page and use the key command control>shift>return to add another track, audio16 is duplicated. When I use the menu to 'create with next instrument' audio17 is created, but in my environment, my 64 audio tracks are reduced to 24. Using the menu to add audio tracks only lets me add to 24.
I've trashed my preferences but that did nothing.
One thing that may be relevant is that after setting up the LSA as described above, I copied an old autoload from my powerbook that only contained 24 audio tracks. After realizing that I need more tracks I trashed that autoload and re-ran the LSA. (on a side note - your autoload will trump your LSA set-up if they differ). I think that the old autoload is still causing a problem even though I trashed it.
Any help in the frustrating situation is most appreciated!

It is normal that Logic uses the same audio object
when you create a track with control-shift-return,
that's the way it's supposed to be. If you want to
create a new track and a new audio object assigned to
it, "create with next instrument" is the way to do
it. You could also use "create multiple..."
in the drop down menu it says that the key command for 'create with next instrument' is control>shift>return.
If you're limited to 24 tracks, I'd check in your
audio preferences. Your maximum tracks limit is
probably set to 24 tracks.
my audio preferences are set to 64 tracks of audio.
thanks for the reply!

How to create a specific audio track in arrange

There's gotta be something simple I'm missing. In Logic 7 you could create an audio track in the arrange and then click to open a drop-down menu to select any audio track number you wanted to assign it to.
I don't see how to do that in 8.
All I'm trying to do is create an audio track of audio 9 in the arrange. Currently, 4, 6, 7 and 11 are in the arrange. I can go to number 7 and hit "new track with next channel strip" until 9 shows up and delete the rest (it starts by adding 1, which currently isn't used, etc., 'til it gets up to 9) but that can't be the only way to do it.
Can someone give me a tip?
Thanks!!

Simply create the new audio track, and the control/right click on that track
You'll see "Reassign Track Object" > Mixer > Audio >
and from there you can select specifically what audio track you want that new track to be.

Can't add a new audio track without any settings

Can anyone tell me were faced with the same problem. Doing audio post production in Logic Pro X, the latest version, the project is big, At some stage the work I was faced with the fact that you can't add a new audio track without any settings, no matter what inserts I track with duplicate settings of one of the tracks and it begins to sound with this track. I don't add a new audio track with duplicate settings. I add a new one, and I still opens the track with some sort of settings. What is it? This is a glitch or I'm somewhere that we have not considered? Duplicates the configuration of one of the tracks collected in group 1, which I did for editing convenience. Duplicates and also automation and if the new track am I doing something then this machine is transferred to the existing track from this group.

Everything works in full 'Logic Pro X' mode. It's just a glitch in my project. The problem while you decide this: I insert a new track and it reset and set the output.

How to create new audio tracks as stereo by default?

Is this possible?
For some reason all my audio tracks by default are mono.
Would save time if they were stereo.

Open the New Tracks Window and select the Audio Track. When you open the "Details" disclosure triangle, you will see the Input and Output settings for the new Audio Track. Select Stereo and Logic remembers that settings as a default for any newly created Audio Track from now on.
Hope that helps

Apple ProRes 422 32-bit Stereo Audio Creates New Audio Track

I imported some Apple ProRes 422 files into Premiere Pro CS5.5 in my Mac, using all the correct ProRes Sequence Settings. But the audio creates a new Audio Track 5 and cannot be moved to any of the first 4 audio tracks. Why?

That single speaker icon is telling you that it is a 1-channel Track, so a 2-channel, or 6-channel (5.1) Clip will not go there - only a 1-channel Clip.
One can set up their Default Sequence with any number of each type of Audio Track, and any number of Video Tracks. My guess is that your Default Sequence is set for 4 1-channel Audio Tracks.
For more background on Audio Tracks and channel-count, see this article: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3757977#3757977 [Note: some of the illustrations are from older versions of PrPro, but the basics are all the same.]
Note: PrPro CS 6 changed how Audio Tracks and channel-count are handled, but PrPro CS 5.5 still used the old method.
Good luck,
Hunt

New Audio Tracks

This should be easy...trying to create more than the eight audio tracks I created with the Logic Set Up Assist. I can't seem to make anything but another identical track to what ever track is currently selected. Do I need to change the set up assistant to create more than the eight audio tracks? I've been selecting using the create option..thank you

ok I used the set up assist again and was able to create 34 audio object tracks. still wondering if more audio tracks can be made after the fact of using the assistant. trying to create a template but just in case I don't want to be limited by a certain # of audio tracks. In my previous post I had mentioned that when I go to create a new audio track it somehow seems to mimic a previously created track...any help appreciated!

Can't edit audio tracks anymore FLEX EDIT PROBLEM

Due to year long problems with my Mac, Apple replaced it with a brand new one but it came with the updated Garageband '11 with Flex Time. I currently have a podcast and am over a month behind and because I can't figure out this new audio/flex time edit thing. It appears that I am not the only one on disccussion forums and YouTuve but I need HELP!
PROBLEM: I can't edit tracks. Flex Time turns on and analyzes over and over and over and over. I can't edit or cut things out. It wants to stretch them out! HELP!
FLEX TIME is terrible.

Re-order tracks on arrange page

Hi, maybe this sounds stupid but for some reason i cant re-order tracks on the arrange page. I think you can do it dragging and drop each track with the "hand" ... right? or no...
i'm lost here and this really break my head cause then is a kaos when i'm mixing!...
Any help?
Thanks!

Hi there... sorry for the confusion... i what i mean was *at the mixer window*... so i can arrange the tracks, sub-groups, buses etc... not at the arrange!!
thanks!

How to create a new independent audio track?

okay, probably a stupid question, but how can i create a new audio track that is not a "slave" to an already existing audio track. for example, all of my 8 audio tracks are in use, so when i try to open a new one, it is affected by the highlighted tracks specifications, making it very frustrating. please help and thanks.

Some things are just backward in Logic...we just have to get use too it.....
jord, I agree.. it's not that hard to understand the difference between an arrange track and an audio object. the fact that you can have many tracks in the arrangement that all use the same audio object or midi object is a great thing.
I think if people get their head around the fact that the arrange page _is not_ simply a representation of what is physically available in terms of tracks, then it all becomes clear.
I would recommend all new users to do the following:
click on your arrange window, and select the top track. start hitting delete until you have deleted every single track in the arrangement. you now have a blank page. but, importantly, the environment of available audio tracks/audio instruments/midi channels/whatever has not changed one single bit. you can now assign anything to your arrange page. 55 arrange tracks that are all using audio instrument 1 if you so desire. or, sequentially create new tracks that are all using subsequent channels/instruments by controlshiftreturn (by default).
people often get confused by doing the following: they create a new track in the arrangement - say they had audio instrument 1 and then created another _arrange track_ of audio instrument 1. then, they look in the parameter box for that second arrange track, and change it to audio instrument 2. then they get annoyed that for some reason, both tracks now change to audio instrument 2.. but this is totally normal, because you have changed the assigment of the same audio object, that just happened to be present in the arrangement in the form of 2 arrange tracks. the way to change what object is assigned to an arrange track is to click-hold on the track name (right there where the track is in the arrange list) and then you will see a pop up of all of the available objects, hierarchically presented to represent the environment layers in your song. or, instead of doing this, you can just create an arrange track that uses the next available audio track/instrument by using the key command described above (controlshiftreturn).
it's not at all illogical or backwards! when I am writing a midi part using an audio instrument, I (very) often want multiple arrange tracks of the same instrument so I can test out different ideas or variations.. muting all except the one I currently want to hear. and importantly, they aren't "copies" or "clones" of the same track, nor are they "linked" tracks that change assignment together, as many people seem to think. they are independant arrange tracks that just happen to have the same track or instrument assigned to them. once you get this, you start getting logic.
the way to build new audio objects or midi objects (which is what people mean when they say "new track") is and has always been in the environment. although, now there are shortcuts to do it by using the function 'create multiple tracks' which will produce the objects for you in the arrangement and add them to your arrangement in one operation. you also need to be aware of the setting in your audio prefs (or in hardware and drivers, can't remember which) where you define the maximum number of tracks that the audio engine will allow, this being another stalling point for many new users.
like I said, once you 'get' this architecture in your head, you start realising how powerful and flexible working on arrangements in logic will be. for me, it's a way better implementation than playlists in protools, for example.

Problem creating an audio track

I know this should be simple, but I'm stuck on something really simple...
I've got a project with six audio tracks. If I create a new audio track, it's somehow "connected" to the sixth track. For instance, if I change the volume (or other automation), both change simultaneously.
What am I missing? How do I tell Logic that I want a new track?
Thanks in advance,
Norman

Thanks for the response. I had tried changing the channel for the new track (from 6 -> 7) but found that both tracks changed. I couldn't figure out how to make one on Ch6 and one on Ch7.
I stumbled upon a way to do this by opening the audio mixer and dragging the channel I wanted onto the audio object in the arrange window.
Is there a better way? I looked through the documentation, but it only seemed to refer to the "channel" option in the track properties...
Thanks again,
Norman

Creating audio tracks in logic 8.

Hi,
Having used logic 8 for about half a year now I have had no problems whatsoever.
However, about a week ago, when creating new audio tracks this happens.
I create 2 tracks for example
Audio track 1 works as normal and below the level meter at the bottom left I see the symbol to change from mono to stereo. I select it as mono.
Audio track 2 looks normal at first but has no symbol at the bottom of the meter to select mono/stereo...
I cannot do anything with this track. If I selected Audio track 1 as stereo. Audio track 2 comes up with the message:
Audio 2
Controlled by stereo object "Audio 1-2"
I want it to go back to normal so I can record on every track! What is going on?!
There is probably quite a simple fix for this... I just can't seem to work it out.
Many thanks,
J

How? This should work:
Of course you need the command New... from the Local arrange menu Tracks. It sounds like you've used *New with Duplicate Setting* instead.
However, you can reassign tracks by ctrl-clicking on the track header:
Audio track 1 works as normal and below the level meter at the bottom left I see the symbol to change from mono to stereo. I select it as mono.
Audio track 2 looks normal at first but has no symbol at the bottom of the meter to select mono/stereo...
I cannot do anything with this track. If I selected Audio track 1 as stereo. Audio track 2 comes up with the message:
Audio 2
Controlled by stereo object "Audio 1-2"
I want it to go back to normal so I can record on every track! What is going on?!
You have two channel strips assigned to one track... reassign it, or just delete the 'slave' and create a fresh one. Again, it looks like you (or Logic) have used the *New with Duplicate Setting* command somehow.

Audio tracks playing different audio tracks - routing issue?

I'm having trouble with some routing issues I believe. Here's the deal:
Some audio tracks are playing different audio tracks, when that region is not even in it. For instance:
Track #2 is Soloed. Output is Output 1-2. I hear the audio file that is in Track #1, which is NOT Soloed and I shouldn't even hear. I don't hear anything from Track #2. The only way I can hear Track #2 is by playing it from the audio bin, which obviously isn't going to work out right.
If I drag the audio region of Track #2 to a brand new audio track, I still don't hear anything. Is it possible this audio file(s) got corrupted somehow?
Please help!

Check the parameters, in the left side of the arrange page window.
To me, it sounds as if you have a bunch of arrange tracks, which are all playing back through audio track #1.

How do you "UNLINK" the audio tracks?

I have had LOGIC now for about 3 weeks. I am learning tons and enjoying the program overall. I have received some great help from this forum. My latest adventure is creating more audio tracks. I found out recently from this forum that I had the settings in my LOGIC setup. I increased the number of audio tracks that I can use. My current question is, If I need more audio tracks in a project, I click on an audio track and then go to the Track>Create Multiple Tracks menu. I can import as many as I need.
The problem I am having is, when I create the tracks, they are somehow "linked" to whatever track that I clicked on when I choose to create the new tracks. I have tried changing the track and midi channels in the LH side of the arrange window, but when I change one track, the other one changes also. I don't know how to separate them. Is there some way to do that? ALSO>>>> Is there a way to create new audio tracks without having to click on an existing track first?
Thank you for your consideration.

The fastest way I know is to 1)- open the track mixer window, 2) click on the global button - to turn it on, 3) click on track button - to show all available tracks, 4) double click on an unused track, this will put a new track into the arrange window.
Turning off the global button in the mixer window and selecting the parts you want to display (Track, Instruments, MIDI, auxs, busses, etc) will show you the active tracks you have in the arrange window.

Importing multiple audio tracks from FCE HD

On page 22 of the FCE HD manual it says of importing Quicktime movies "...new audio tracks are added below the video track for EACH audio track in the movie". This does not seem to be the case when I import movies exported for Soundtrack. Is the manual wrong, or is it me?
Sorry if this is a FAQ, I've tried a lot of searches and I can't find anything.

Ok - I'm back again. I've been fooling around a bit with this and this is what I have come up with. ST only allows 1 track in at a time. Multitracks of audio from FCE are flattened down which makes it impossible to tweak them individually in ST. I turned the link button off in FCE and exported the audio tracks one at a time. Each track you bring into ST has to be opened in a new ST project file. Then you can tweak them and export them out of ST, and bring them back into FCE.
My opinion however is that ST is such a weak and watered down verion of STP that it is actually better and more time efficient to use the audio tools in FCE to fix your audio problems and do your mix. Sure, if you have STP its a great program - but ST has none of the power tools that its big rother STP has. You are much better using FCE.

No sound from edited audio track?

This may be a very simple fix but I am unable to figure it out. When I add a new audio track in the arrange window and start chopping it up into separate waveforms, when I go to play back the audio I get no sound! I don't recall logic 8 doing this to me a few weeks ago but it just started doing this! Any ideas? Thanks for any input =)

I have the same problem. When I import the video and then hit the play button (bottom left) I get no audio. If I skim the curser over the film clips, I get audio, but when I hit Play in either window (edited film, unedited film) I get NO audio. Can anyone help??
