New click track wanted

I'm wanting to create a custom "click Track" in lieu of the metronome sound. I'm looking to get a kind of "boom chuck" drum effect. how might I go about doing this in Logic Pro X?

Logic also hs a MIDI metronome that you can wire to the exs24 in the environment. You can have separate MIDI note numbers and velocities for each click.

Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s (as it is already full of music from old windows laptop) but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.

Can't create a new real track...

Ok I've encountered another problem, and this one prohibits me from doing basically anything. The last problem in the post I made with the title "Mysterious crackling/buzzing" seems to have worked itself out (yes!!!). First I'll tell you my setup. I have a guitar (with active electronics if that helps at all which i doubt...) plugged into a Line 6 POD XT Live which connects to my compter via USB and I play through GB on tracks with no effects in Channel 2 (Mono) with the monitor usually on. Well, that is, until now. The only way I can hear my guitar or have any signal through GB is if I'm in a previously saved project which already has tracks on it that are available for recording/playing. I can record and play fine through these tracks, but when I try and create a new track (Real) absolutely nothing happens. I go to track/new track/real/create but bsaically all that happens is...well...nothing. If I have selected a track (which works fine if I created it before the problem started) and I try and create a new one, it just does nothing and hs no effect on the elready existing track I'm on. More annoyingly, if I try to make a track on a brand new project, I can only make a software track, but the exact same thign happens when I try to create a Real track. Nothing. Plus, when I'm in a previously created project, and I use a track that I made before the problem both of the boxes that are supposed to show if you want a guitar/vocal/bass all of that stuff on the left, and the box on the right have nothing in them. Completely blank. I belive this may be a similar problem to the one I had in my previous post titled "How do I create new real instrument track?" Here's the link:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=542431&tstart=0
In this problem I was using GarageBand 2 and I was playing through an M-Audio FastTrack USB, but the only difference I believe in the two problems was that I could create a new real track, but there were the words "no track selected" in gray (unable to be clicked) in the left box, whereas its impossible to create a track in the first place with the problem i have now. Also, no one could help me on the last problem, and I had to delete GarageBand (but I had to buy iLife '05 again since we lost the install DVD) after I called the support team from Apple, and talked to one of the head guys who was completely baffled. So that's basically all i can describe with my limited knowledge of technology, oh and I deleted the .plist and.cs files and repaired permissions (again) if that helps.

'tis all good right now, just checked on another post dealing with the smae problem, unfortunatley i was forced to downgrade to GB 2.0 but hey, it's only until i can find the iLife '06 DVD.

MIDI CLICK TRACK?

hey guys
I notice the MIDI CLICK at the bottom of my track list, how can i activate it?
Pretty much, i want an audible MIDI/Metronome click for this project. Im trying to make a backing track. Left channel will be a click with the backing tracks, right will be simply the backing tracks
Anyone? I can get MIDI data in, but all it does is give me piano sounds
thanks in advance!

BuckB,
THus far, i cant make sense of that midi click track thats there by default. Would be really nice if you could just place any MIDI data in there and itd just give a 1 2 3 4 reguardless of data
BUT
A workaround that was given to me by the kind people at harmony central
Use an Audio Instrument Track, and set the instrument to Klopfgiest..just make sure your MIDI data is on every whole note of whatever you like. At first it just makes tone noises, but if you tweak alittle, you can make that sharp metronome sound.
Not my idea of easiest, but im writting my backing tracks in guitar pro, so it takes 2 seconds to create a new track, put 4 counts, then duplicate til end of song, and just have logic click to that. I tried the copy/paste and id ALWAYS get some offtime beats
hope that helps

Click track - any other alternatives than logic?

Hi.
I and others that i record with (in particular drummers) want more timing features witha click for example 4/8 or more tones etc. I find that logics click doesnt have this feature and is limited in some areas. Can anyone suggest any other click tracks that can replace logics own?
Any advice?
Thanks, Ben

You can get Logic's metronome to trigger midi gear too. So if the sound isn't right you could use an old (or a new!) drum machine, sound module etc.
I'm not sure but I suspect there is way of playing with the metronome in the environment too. perhaps you can trigger an exs sample or two that way.
All these methods mean you can use the standard key commands to switch off the click of course.
I'm not sure about any plugin is available. I can't really imagine what it would do that you can't already do with a bit of tweaking in Logic. A plugin would still need an audio track to "live in".
What sort of timing features are you after? Logic's will do bar + beat + division. If you need some sort of swing to the click I suspect you'll need to look at sample loops or your to own drum programming.
I can't say I've ever had issues with the click in logic.
Just to go off topic a bit regarding drumming and clicks. As a drum teacher I used to teach "playing to a click". From experience and study I found the automatic assumption made by both drummers and "those providing the click" to have the click loud with all beats + divisions wasn't the best way to get a good drum performance. I would encourage my students to play to a very sparse click - just the bar clicks and at a low volume too. At least for practise purposes, the level would be such that the drummer would only hear the click if he was out of time.
This way encourages the drummer to relax and "feel" the tempo leading to a much better performance. I believe loud clicks can improve confidence but can have an adverse affect on other aspects of playing (apart from the annoying headphone spill when recording).
For any drummers out there who haven't tried this approach, I strongly suggest you give this a go. It can feel disconcerting at first but its worth the effort I think.

New Sports Tracker

Hello, I wanted to ask... why is new Sports Tracker not available for N93i? beta of Nokia Sports Tracker worked like a charm on it, without any issues... I feel like: "Here we stop supporting your phone so you will have feelings that you need to buy new one, and new one = $$$ for us" .. why stop supporting it when it worked without ANY problems? Seems a bit unfair and it isn't the only app you stopped to support on "not so old and not so bad" mobile phones..

I see. But the new website is operated by a new company which did not make the old sports trackers, did you make a search at Ovi Store? Also, AFAIK the old site is still up and you can still download from there. An alternative is to try and get a hold of sis files for the newer versions but there is no guarantee that they would work with your phone. Nokia isnt the one operating sports tracker anymore.

HT1386 I have a new iPhone and want to purchase a ringtone on iTunes. It keeps asking for answers to a question that I did not set up and don't have the answer for. How do I get pass this dilemma?

I have a new iphone and want to purchase ringtones from itunes. Itunes is asking answers for security questions I did not set up and I can't answer them. How do I get past this to be able to purchase. I can purchase songs on my MAC and sync but itunes doesn't give the option to purchase ringtones on the MAC, just the iphone.

If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Creating a click track to match an imported audio file?

I used to do this on earlier versions of Logic, but have forgotten HOW I did it. I want to import a piece of audio with a bit of a wavering tempo. I want to create a click track to match that wavering tempo, so I can add further orchestrations quickly, and not have to worry about a perfect, tempo wise, performance.
I can't remember what the 'tap'? process is called, or where best to look for it in the Logic 8 Manual.
All ears,
Ben

thanks Ben.. you may be interested in this discussion:

which includes a long 'blah blah blah' about my preferred beat mapping method.
( It is something of a pet obsession.. especially good for transcribing and extracting parts from audio you like.. CD tracks etc)
Also type beat mapping into the 'Search Discussions' Q on the Forum

I have my iTunes Library on and external hard drive. I have a new computer and want to use iTunes and KEEP my files on the external drive.

My iTunes library is on an external hard drive, and I was able to access / add to the library from my windows laptop.
I now have a new laptop, and want to be able to KEEP the library on the external drive while being able to use iTunes from the new laptop.
I have selected "choose library" in iTunes, and have chosen the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.
My media populates in iTunes on the new laptop version of iTunes, but when I click on a song iTunes says that it cannot locate the song.
Your help is kindly appreciated!

Thanks. Were the settings shown in your last screenshot in force when you added the song that's shown on being on the C: drive? It is also possible that at some point you ran iTunes with the external drive disconnected, in which case it will have defaulted to the library on the C: drive, or that you've run iTunes without explicitly selecting the library on the E: drive. To make sure the latter is the case, hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes, then when you get this prompt:
click on Choose Library..., navigate to the location of your current iTunes Library.itl file, and click Open.
Part of your issue may that its not obvious where that current database file is located. The folder layout on your E: drive isn't the one that's most easily managed - so its possible that the database file could be in:
E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes
E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes
E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes 1
I suggest that a lot of your issues can be addressed by reshaping your library into the reliable "portable" layout as described in tt2's Make a split library portable user tip. Comparing your screenshot with the equivalent on my system (where I have a "well-formed" library on an external drive):
where:
there is just one iTunes folder with everything used by iTunes inside it
all media is held within subfolders of the iTunes Media folder
The way you have yours set up, where the iTunes Media Folder location is set to E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes rather than E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes Media is probably why some of your media is not being located correctly - the extent to which iTunes can correctly resolve locations is, to an extent, reliant on the folders for the different media kinds (Music, Audiobooks, etc.) being inside the iTunes Media media folder. One common misunderstanding (not helped at all by Apple's documentation!) is that the iTunes Media Folder location setting in Edit > Preferences > Advanced does not tell iTunes where to find anything; rather it determines where iTunes will put new additions to your Library, in conjunction with the Copy files to iTunes Media folder ... flag:
I would definitely take the time to work through the steps to bring your library into the "portable" shape - there may be few remaining issues with broken links when that's complete but this will be much easier to fix if your library is in a more standard structure.

When i try to open piano roll it is stuck on the same track regardless of whether another track is selected. I cannot elect a new synt track and pull up in piano roll

When i try to use piano roll it always goes back to a single track. Even if I select another track or adda new blank track it will not open.
Also if I add notes to the track that opens I cannot hear them when i place them on piano roll

There's a little icon in the top left corner of the piano roll window that looks like a pair of chain links. If that is selected (goes yellow) then the piano roll editor is linked to the arrange page region selection(s). Sounds like what you want.
It's really useful sometimes to be able to unlink, so that you can keep one piano roll open (to watch the timing of the notes, for example) and not haver it change each time you do something in the arrange page.
Also, next to it is a little man running icon. If that is selected, the piano roll will chase the cursor. If not selected, it won't. Also useful sometimes.
Hope that helps

My old computer (a Sony) with my iTunes crashed. I have a new MAC and want to make sure I can keep all of my music (mostly from old CD's that have been lost). I bought iTunes match hoping that would work but it isn't using the data on my phone. HELP!

Since you have purchased a new Mac (which, BTW, is not typed in all capitals) why not buy a Time Capsule <http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/> which is designed specifically to work with OS X and Time Machine?
You don't say what part of your Sony "crashed." If it was not the HDD it is possible to take the computer apart, put the HDD in an external case, then recover the data off of it (including the music) simply drag-n-drop. If it was the HDD that "crashed" that makes it more difficult.
If you are able to recover the music from the Sony you can then add it to the iTunes library on the Mac and iTunes Match will then scan, match and upload the tracks to be mirrored in the cloud.

I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?

I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPod but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPod with it.
above covers purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
