Play from region start

Hi all,
After searching around in the key command menu, I still cannot seem to find a relatively simple operation: play from selected region.
I have a ton of regions I need to jog back and forth between and I'd like to just highlight them by using the cursor keys (which I know how to do) and then hit some key command so that Logic plays from the beginning of the selected region.
Surely I am missing something completely and painfully obvious.
Any help?

Surely I am missing something completely and painfully obvious.
Maybe not painfully - but yes, obvious, once you know it...
What you are looking for is called *Play from Selection* and the default Key Command is ⇧-⌅ (⌅ meaning Enter, on the numpad). This command is only available as *Key Command*, not as a menu item.
regards, Erik.

Why won't my adobe edge animations play from the start each time they are loaded on an Adobe DPS layout?

Hi there
I have an adobe DPS document with several pages, and edge animations on each page. I want each animation to play from the start when each page is opened, however, the playback seems to be very inconsistent. Some animations play from the start, others half way through, and some playback incorrectly. I want to also be able to return to each page and have the animations reload, instead of just displaying the final frame of the animation.
I have played around with the delay time which doesnt seem to fix it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Dan

Hi, Im DPS projects medias like video, audio, animation html5 dosen´t reload inside the same article, just between the articles. Better produce articles just one page and change pages with horizontal swipe Regards

How do I make songs always play from the start of the track?

I have an iphone 3GS and I have an issue. I'm sure there's a really obvious fix for this, but I can't work out what it is - can someone please help me!
So the issue is... my music always starts playing from wherever I last paused the track, no matter when I last paused it. I tend to shuffle through my music and skip tracks a lot, and so I always want my music to start from the beginning of the track. It's so annoying when I get to a track and it starts blaring from halfway through the chorus, because that's where I paused it when I listened to it last month....
Please could someone tell me how to fix this??
Thanks!

That is NOT normal... Restore phone! If that doesn't fix it take it to aan apple store and have them look at it! The only time the iPod app should ever start In The middle of a song is if you're playing the song you last paused!

Unwanted sounds when logic plays from the start of the track!!! help!!

i would really appreciate if anybody helps me here!
i have logic rewired with reason. i have numerous tracks and instruments on both
all my drums are in reason and when i play the tracks back in logic i get an unwanted kick and a crash at the point i start the song, this happens anywhere between the count in and the first audio in logic.
whe i play it back from the start in reason i dont get these sounds, only when i play it from logic!
there is definately no loose midi data in reason(as there is no place for it ) and i have had draw a long count out in logic just so the track starts after these sounds have faded away?
any advise???

Correction:
This has happened to me lots too, to sessions where I am using a lot of virtual instruments. I don't think you issue has anything to do with ReWire.
I think it has to do with stopping a song before it ends, returning to the start and playing song again. It has to do with lookahead and ram etc ....
The way to avoid this is to back your song start up, or nudge your tracks forward a bit. One bar or less seems to do the trick for me.
Hope that helps.
Cheers

Audio won't play from the start of the slide

Good afternoon all,
I'm new at this and recently created my first instructive
demo. I recorded and have everything synching up fine but the audio
in two of the slides WON'T start the audio from the first words
recorded. The audio begins in the middle of the second or third
word spoken.
This only happens when I play the entire demo or from a
certain point in the demo to the end. If I play the two slide with
the audios indiviually you can hear my every word from start to
finish and if I play the audio ONLY I hear it fine also.
I have tried starting the audio a few seconds after the
screen being demonstrated starts, re-recording the audio, adding
silence in the beginning.........................anyone have any
suggections. I've done everything I know to do but start over from
scratch.........I didn't say that...........LOL!

My suggestion was going to be ensure the audio file starts a
second or
two after the slide starts, but seems you're already doing
that.
So if you've tried all those things and no luck, then I'd
recreate the
slide entirely.
Insert a blank slide, copy the background from the problem
slide to the
blank slide ('paste as background'), then insert the audio
and test it.
If it works as expected, then copy/paste any other screen
elements from
the problem slide, then delete that problem slide.
Helps?

File plays from loop start upon opening & there is no arrangement window

my toddler daughter pressed some keys and now when I open a certain file, it plays automatically from a loop start point and there is no arrangement window (only the transport pane is visible) PLUS all menus at top are greyed out except for file, edit, and help - any suggestions?

I have a similar problem; after adding volume automation to two sessions and quitting Logic, I am now unable to open those sessions upon restarting. Their arrange windows do not appear and most of my menus (including Windows) are greyed out, the key commands do not work either. Other sessions without processing or automation open up. I know another person who had this problem and was not able to use his completed arrangements.
What can I do to retrieve those sessions? I do not have alternate versions saved.
thx,

How to start midi event playing from the middle of event?

I'm not sure if my post title is correct but...
I have a two minute piece of music with various instruments playing. There are some strings that play the same couple of notes throughout.
At the moment I am working on a middle section but as I loop, the srings aren't triggered - I have to play from the start (before the event starts). I did not have a problem with Cubase but I can't find a way to do this in Logic.
It's probaly quit simple though?

This typically means the midi notes themselves start before the beginning of the loop point you have choosen
You can quantize or manually move the first notes so that they start at the beginning of the loop and not just before... to resolve this..
Select the regions and then check the event list for the region to confirm this is what is going on...

How do I use cookies to control which part of the timeline to play from?

Hi there,
I have created an animation with Adobe Edge. My site uses Concrete5 and I am pulling in the Edge content into an IFRAME on my home page (there my be a better way to do this and I'm open to suggestions). I want the animation to play from the start when someone first visits the site, but if during their browser session they navigate back to the home page, I want the animation to only play a shorter segment of frames near the end.
My question is, how do I use cookies to acheive this? I'm new to javascript/jquery.
I've included the following code on compositionReady, (found in another post on this forum) but don't have a clue how to continue...
// insert code to be run when the composition is fully loaded here yepnope( { nope:[ '/js/jquery.cookie.js' ], complete: init } ); function init() { //create your cookie's initial values here }
My temp site is here - http://79.170.40.43/nutcrackerdesign.co.uk/
On revisting the homepage, I only want to play from when the green 'How can we help?' button drops in.
Many thanks!
Russ

Hi, Russ-
I found this article, which seemed really helpful in describing how cookies work in JavaScript:
http://www.quirksmode.org/js/cookies.html
Remember that JS works just fine within Animate, so on your compositionReady, you can read your cookie and then set the play based on that. You should probably uncheck the autoplay for your Stage and control the play of your Stage from the compositionReady.
Good luck!

Ram preview not playing from first frame

Anyone else having problems with Ram preview playing back from a different spot in the timeline OTHER than the first frame? I have seen this happening consistently since the latest update (2014.2). I checked my preferences, and made sure nothing is accidentally selected to play from the last keyframe or something odd. But no. I am on a Mac Pro, running Yosemite, I googled this, and haven't seen anything. I haven't trashed my preferences yet, because I'm not sure it's a preference issue, and god...if I have to rebuild my render setting one more time...
So to give you more detail.
- I hit "0" on my number pad to launch a ram preview
- It LOOKS like it's rendering each frame in order
- When I hit "0" again to playback, it starts from a random location usually about 2 - 5 seconds from the beginning of the timeline.
- It will loop back and then play from the start of the timeline.
It's not using the current time indicator line or anything that would make sense. It's random, but near the start. I suspect it's pulling keyframe information from a nested pre-comp and using that, but there is not a keyframe in the comp I'm previewing.
I also do not have the "From Current Time" checked box in the Ram Preview options, and there are 0 skip frames in that setting as well.
If anyone has any ideas what this may be...I'd appreciate it.

Here's the page with the known Yosemite issues:

Disable playing from beginning when end is reach?

When I work on a section of the timeline I hit space bar to play, then hit space bar again to stop.
But when the section is at the end of the timeline, it's hard to change this habit. I hit space to play, then it stop automatically at the end but nevertheless I also hit space bar, at which point it automatically starts playing from the start of the time line.
This is very annoying. Is there a way to turn off this feature, so that when I hit space bar at the end, nothing happens, or beeps.

Yeah, there's no way to turn it off, but you could give yourself a bit of breathing room by throwing a small video or graphic clip a few seconds past the end of your timeline. Either that, or tame your muscle memory

Midi notes or audio region do not play at the start of a bar?

I am having an issue with a midi loop I have created. If I let the song play a bit until it reaches the loop, logic works just as you'd expect it and everything plays correctly. But if I stop the song, or if I set the song into cycle mode so it repeats, the very first note of the midi loop is ignored, and not played.
So for example, if I set the cursor to start at bar 9, the starting point of the loop, the first midi note is not played. But if a set the cursor at bar 8 and let it play into bar 9 and the loop, all of the notes in the loop play correctly.
I found the following description of the same problem on another forum, but it seemed to suggest that there is no fix for this, which if true, seems kinda bad for a pro application. I was wondering if anyone knew of a workaround or fix to this, because its really annoying missing the notes, or having to expand the cycle region just to get all of the notes to play. Here is the text from the other forum:
_Logic doesn't play the very start of my audio regions when I start playback_
Question: If a region starts at e.g. 1 1 1 1, and it starts playing from the same position, it seems that Logic misses the first few samples - which is especially noticeable with fast-attack transients.
Answer: Apparently Logic doesn't use some kind of pre-play buffering. The workaround is to have your entire song start e.g. one bar later, at 2 1 1 1, and let Logic play from 1 1 1 1. This workaround obviously doesn't work if you've set up a cycle - in which case Logic will miss the first samples when it starts playing as well. Next time it loops through the cycle it does play properly. There's no workaround for this - it's a serious shortcoming of the way Logic handles audio playback. With cycles, you could resort to using the Pause instead of the Play button/command: this will let you start playback from somewhere before the start of the cycle instead of starting at cycle-start (which is what Play does).

I'm having the same problem.
one workaround is to change the delay to +1/192=20 in the delay box in inspector on the given midi track...but this is a terrible thing to have to do over and over again.
PLEASE help if you know what's going on.....I ran logic on my macbook and this NEVER happened. I just bought a macbook pro 2.5 and it's apparently now an issue?
I have searched the net for fixes, and none work....logic does have a pre-play buffer, but it's range isnt large enough to buffer the instrument I'm using...which means the range is less than 1/192...come on....that's messed.
If anyone figures this out, please message me back at [email protected]

When i play back an mp3 dj mix i,ve burn,t to cd in my car when i turn the engine of and then restart the car the cd starts back from the beginning how do i solve this problem so that when i turn the engine on end off the cd plays from the same place

when i play back an mp3 dj mix i,ve burn,t to cd in my car when i turn the engine of and then restart the car the cd starts back from the beginning how do i solve this problem so that when i turn the engine on end off the cd plays from the same place it did before i turned the engine off

It could be that the CD player will only playback "Redbook" CD's from the previous position.
And starts mp3 type CD's from the beginnig.
However.. it's not Logic related.

Can Apple TV start up playing from My Music??

I really like how the latest 3.0 update to Apple TV finally lets me scroll around and look through the movies while still playing my music... that is after I've gone into My Music and told it to play it. Is there a setting that will allow the ATV to just play my music from the start? I know this wouldn't be for everyone but I would really like it to just play music from the start while I go through and find a movie to play or bring up pictures or even look through the other music albums. I know it's probably not a possible setting yet, but I figured I'd ask incase I'm missing something. Thanks.

Unfortunately not.

Logic x not synced with material in rewire app when played from start and when bounced.

When rewiring logic x and reason, play from start in logic..(this doesn't happen when you play from start in reason) when the playhead is at 0 it kind of goes back a millisecond and plays... which makes it not synced with material in rewire application. Sure you can always hit play in Reason or Rewire app... but this is completely unsuable when bouncing the project!!!! Help please!!!!

Movie won't play from start to finish

I'm an idiot I know but I'm editing my first movie and can't find the answer to this in the online brochure. Here's the problem:
1. I've assembled all of my clips in the video track.
2. Have not inserted any transitions because I was having trouble with the "overlap" transition. "Add" button was grayed out.
3. Whenever I try to play the movie to see how all the clips work with each other, the movie ends at the end of the first clip. I know I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what!!! Can anybody help me out there?
I'd buy you a beer if you were here!

Carl and Sweet Polly,
You guys rock! That was it, I only had the first clip highlighted. When I highlighted everything the movie played from start to finish. Also, learned something new too. I couldn't get the overlay transitions to work so I rebooted, upgraded to os 10.4.11, upgraded Quicktime and now they work. Thanks for your quick response! I probably won't through my computer off the balcony for at least another day now! : > )
