Problems saving channel strips...

When I try to save a channel strip, I'm told "Permission was denied, probably due to insufficient access rights". I've tried repairing permissions already.
I haven't moved anything to where it shouldn't be (ie, my Channel Strip Settings folder is right where Logic installed it). And when I try to save, it takes me to the correct folder - but I'm unable to save...
thanks

Select the ~\Library\Application Support\Logic folder in the finder, do a Get Iinfo on it, change the permissions to make sure you can read & write, and select "apply to all encolsed items". That should do it.

A problem with channel strip outputs in Logic Pro 8

I have a Power Mac G5 2.3GHz dual core processor with 2GB memory, running LogicPro 8 connected to a MOTU 2408 Mk3. I originally assigned the outputs on the individual channel strips on my Logic default work page to the individual outputs on the MOTU, (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.,) as this is the optimum configuration for the amount of channels required for the recording I do. Checking theses settings recently though, I find the menu only gives the option to set outputs to 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 & 7-8? What has happened and how can I change them back?
Thanks

Sounds like your channel strips are stereo and not mono.
Click on the little linked circle button (format button) in the bottom of the channel strip to set it's mode to MONO (single circle).
If you have effect plugins inserted on the channel strip make sure they are mono and not stereo. (Click and hold on the effect on the insert slot and choose the mono instance of the plugin from the plugin menu).
Hope that helps

Saved user patch not saving aux send channel strip settings?

Hi all,
I was reading the 'Using and saving patches" article in the manual and came across this quote:
"patches also save any aux channel sends that are needed to reproduce the complete patch,"
I was extremely excited and tried to create my own patch. My User Patch saves, and the aux send amounts are in the main channel strip, but the actual bus channel strips are not created.
I noticed that other logic patches actually create the bus strips with their predefined settings when you load them, but I can't seem to get my user patches to do this. Am I missing a step when I save my patch?
Thanks in advance!
Robert
P.S. - if it's useful, I am using Logic 10.0.7 on OSX 10.8.5 on a mid-2012 15" MBP Retina

Just thought I might bump this topic since I have the same problem. Any suggestions on a solution would be greatly appreciated!

Memory problems when using alias channel strips (3.0.2)

I'm having memory issues when using alias channel strips. What is happening is I create one instance of the plugin, say Massive. Then make a bunch of other alias on different patches. When looking at the memory usage everytime I add and alais it increases the memory usage by an amount the same as the origional plugin. ie. add 3 alias and you have 3 times more memory usage. See attached photos.
Original plugin instance ~80mb memory usage
Adding 3 Alias channel strips. ~330mb memory usage
By comparison here is the usage by adding 3 brand new instance of the plugins. ~160mb memory usage
By comparison it is using less memory by having 4 seperate instances of the plugin compared to using 3 alias's of the origional. This doesn't make sense since the whole point of an alias is to save memory by only loading one instance of the plugin.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Jon

What's interesting is that if I, starting with a blank concert, add a Massive to a patch and then make an alias the memory is as you say. But if I make a duplicate of the inital patch and then make alias's of that the memory is lower.
Are you seeing the same with the built-in plug-ins?

Logic Channel Strip Instruments no longer open after Logic 8 upgrade

I upgraded Logic 8.0 to 8.0.1 and now none of the preset Logic Channel strip instruments will open. I can open all of the instruments on their own no problem. But if I select something from one of their saved presets or an instrument that I've saved, it does nothing, just hangs. There's no beach ball or logic not responding. When you do force quit, it quits logic and then upon a restart of the system, the system just freezes too. This is really frustrating because I've save a lot of my own instruments and can't get to them now. This happen in a previous session and a new session started from scratch with the upgrade. I can access all of my saved audio channel strips. Has anyone encountered this? One more bit of frustration and impediment to my work flow. Thanks, Jeff.

I've also trouble with that Channel Strips. I've saved and closed a Song with some Mastering-Plugs in the Output 1-2 ( also Stereo Sum ) and after I reloaded that song, there wasn't no Plug anymore. So all my work was gone and I am also very frustrated.
The next big Problem is working with folders. I've in most of my songs folder of MIDI and Singers and when I am working with this songs on Logic 8, I got many failure in the view of waveforms and regions.
Sometimes regions doesn't play anymore when I switched between folders in the song. That nervs me up the whole time ...
Maybe someone can help or can tell me that's why we get ProKit 4.5

I can't access my newest channel strip settings in Logic 8

Hello all. I am running Logic 8.0.2. I have several channel strip settings saved from my move from Logic 7 to 8. I noticed that when I save new channel strip settings now, that they show up in the proper folders on my Mac, but do not show up in my lists in the media bin on the right, or when you click on the "setting" button all the way on the left for the fader you are loading an instrument on. I did click "reset channel strip" which just resets the strip, and tried refresing the library under the media panel on the right. I have looked at some other forums as well, and I'm not sure if this particular issue has been answered but I haven't seen it yet (apologies if I'm repeating from a past post). Please let me know if there is something I can do...it seems like it should be something simple, like just a "refresh" somewhere, but they still don't show up. Thanks to all for your help!

Control only the software instrument of one channel strip at a time with one Controller

Hi people,
I have a Nord Lead 2 and a Korg Nanokontrol and I want to use these as Midi controllers in the following way, but don't really know how to set up the system:
I have 4 Channelstrips and each has the free software instrument Tyrell N6 inserted. I have the opportunity to change the volume of each channel strip with my faders on the Nanokontrol which works fine and gives me the opportunity to make layers and change also to only use one sound at a time. And this works fine. However, now I want to have the opportunity to change the parameters of each Tyrell with my Nord Lead. But with 4 channelstrips each with a Tyrell N6 I want to have the opportunity to only somehow manipulate only one instance of Tyrell at a time and change the channelstrip for which the Nord Lead manipulates the Tyrell. Is there an opportunity in Mainstage to do that?
Hope it is understandable. Help would be really much appricated. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi DaCaptain,
Thank you very much for your answer. I tried it yesterday, but it doesnt really work for me to be honest. The thing is that I really wanna stick to one patch, so that I can have like one patch for each song.
However, if you might be interested I found a way to do it yesterday on my own. This is how I have done it:
In Layout-Mode
- Create Controls for each instance of Tyrell. For my purpose I created 4 times:
             - controlls for the Filter Section
             - controls for ADSR1
             - controls for ADSR2
- So you have 4 Sections of controllers in Layout Mode. Each meant to controll one Tyrell Instance
- Now each section gets its own Midi Channel. So all the controllers of section 1 respond to MIDI Channel 1 and the controllers of section 2 respond to MIDI Channel 2 and so on.
- Now you tell the Nord Lead that it should send via MIDI Channel 1 and you assign the Cutoff-Controller of the Nord Lead to the controller (the one of the first section) that is suppose to control the cutoff of the first Tyrell. And you proceed this way until all the controllers of the first sections are assigned. Then you swith to MIDI Channel 2 on the Nord Lead and assign the Cutoff-Controller of the Nord Lead to the controller (the one of the second section) that is suppose to control the cutoff of the second Tyrell. And here again you proceed this way until all the controllers of the second sections are assigned. Then you go on with the third and fourth section taking MIDI Channel 3 and 4.
In Edit-Mode
- In Edit Mode now you of course assign the controllers to the functions in each Tyrell
Result
- Now you can switch between the MIDI Channels on the Nord Lead. This is quiet easy because you can assign a MIDI Channel to one of four buttons on the Nord Lead.
- So if you switch to MIDI Channel 1 you can controll the functions of the first Tyrell and if you switch to MIDI Channel 2 you can controll the functions of the second Tyrell. And all in one Patch with only one controller which is even from the nineties. I find this really great. The only problem is that the Layout might get really messy, if you try to maybe control more functions of each Tyrell. And I really think maybe Mainstage in future could give us the opportunity to create bigger Layouts - maybe with different Windows or something.
Hope you might find this interesting or even helpful.
See you

All of a sudden, I can no longer add any plugins to any channel strips? And when I click on an existing plugin to edit, it disappears off the channel strip?

I am running Logic express 9 on a 2008 Macbook, (non pro). Anyhow, logic has always seemed to work great for me. However, last week I opened up one of many existing projects, (I'm in sample editor). When I went to add a new plugin to one of the channel strips it would not allow me to. Also, if I click on any plugin that already exists on the channel strip it dissapears? The strange thing that also happens weather I click to add a new plugin or click on an already existing plugin, is both the "repeat section" and "crop", buttons from the above menu (in sample editor), the actual buttons become a faded image,(as far as the actual font and images of the buttons). As soon as I am done clicking to add a plugin on the channel strip, both buttons from the menu go back to looking normal like all of the other choices from that menu? I really don't get it? All I want to do is to be able to add plugins as well as edit or change plugins again. Any thoughts as to why I can no longer add any new plugins to any channel strips? And why any existing plugins disappear from the channel strip when I click on it? Why the "repeat section", and "Crop", buttons from the menu above fade in and out when I try clicking on the channel strip is very strange? I don't mind that I just want to be able to add or edit plugins again. I did do some document cleaning up last week as my memory was getting low. I then emptied out my trash bin. I'm hoping I didn't accidentally delete some kind of Logic component? Why can't I add or edit plugins anymore? Anyone ever run across this?
Thanks,
Mike.

Mike,
Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer. Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected. It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

Changing FX plug in settings for channel strip aliases?

I've been trying to migrate my live performance rig from Kore 2 to Mainstage 3, and truth be told it has not been easy, nor yet successful. Every time I overcome one roadblock to something that was so easy to set in Kore, another problem presents itself. Thanks to much help from the users in this group, I got a handle on getting through the biggest obstacle of Mainstage ignoring PG changes to channel strips by using Multitimbral settings.
Here's the next huge stumbling block. In Kore, I was able to set up any instance (roughly the equivalent of a Mainstage channel strip) with a series of insert effects plug ins, i.e. a piano patch with both parametric and graphic EQ, compression, etc. and was able to choose which effect(s) would be in use or defeated for a given performance preset and change the settings of any of the plug ins and be able to save them on a per preset basis.
While the capacity to load several insert FX exists in Mainstage, it appears that any changes to an effect are global across the aliases. While I understand that only voume, pan and expression can have separate settings on an alias, I'm searching for some kind of workaround to this issue. All I came up with was using separate busses for each FX chain each having their own settings, but that seems like a horribly inefficient use of resources. Has anyone else found a solution to this problem?

That is not possible, because an alias is simple the _identical_ channel strip in different patches. Any change will be reflected on all occurences of the alias.

Cracks and Noises with Channel-Strips in L 7.2 and MacBook Pro 17"

I am using a MBP 17" and have "performance-problems": when I choose a single Channel-Strip (like "11 Ethnic/Breathy Harp"), the performance-control shows only one CPU working near 90% (the right one) and I'm hearing cracks and noises. I've tried without Fireface (intern) - same problem. I can't believe, that this "incredible machine" isn't able to run one single Channel-Strip at a time without problems!!!
Anyone ideas?

Hi Marty, thanks for your imidiate reply! Though your information about sculpture is very helpful I unfortunately have the same problem with CST like "01 Pianos/Concert Hall Grand Piano" wich is from the exs24 instrument. A further problem is, that the performance control in logic show just one cpu working while the other indicator does nothing. I compared to the performance control of MacOS: there the indicator show both CPUs are working - strange, isn't it?

Creating Folders in the Library for Channel Strip Settings?

When I 'Save Channel Strip Setting As', the new setting appears in my Library of Channel Strip Settings, but I want to create a folder of 'Custom Settings' so I don't get bogged down with a bunch of free-floating settings in my Library. How can I do this? Thanks!

Just figured it out. But in case you're reading this and having the same problem here is what I did...
In finder I went to the following location :
User/Library/Application Support/Logic/ChannelStripSettings/Instrument
in the 'Instrument' folder I created a new folder and titled it Custom Settings, then moved my settings to that folder. Now in my Logic Channel Strip Setting Library looks much cleaner!

Can't apply custom channel strip icons in MS v2.2.2??

Hi all. I've been adding and using custom channel strip icons (in addition to patch icons) in MainStage for a couple of years now but have only just noticed that I can't apply custom channel strip icons in MS v2.2.2....for some reason I can only apply Logic's default icons for channel strips in v2.2.2. When I try to apply a custom icon to a channel strip, the icon region is blank. However, I have no problems applying custom icons to patches.
I've never had an issue with this in v2.1.x.
Is anyone else able to apply custom icons to channel strips in MS v2.2.2?
Cheers
Gary

CCT, I worked it out. For starters, you should be able to get custom Channel Strip icons working in MS v2.1.3 if you put the icons here: user\Library\Application Support\Logic\Images. My installation directory is the root Library but I've realized in the past days that others' installation directory is their user library. This seems to be the reason why custom Channel Strip icons don't work if placed in the root Library for those users.
For MS v2.2.2, the icons need to be placed in the MS app itself i.e. Show Package Contents: \Contents\Resources\Images. Don't ask me why but they appear correctly when placed there. I wouldn't be surprised that this situation is a bug that was overlooked by Apple when they developed v2.2.x
I have both versions of MS on my system and in v2.2.2, my icons are duplicated because they're in the v2.2.2 app as well as ~\Library\Application Support\Logic\Images. However, only those icons located in the v2.2.2 app actually work.

Menu options won't display in channel strips or plug-ins

Hi peeps, this is what I see whenever I click on, for example, the menu button on Sylenth 2.21 (first pic) or, second example, the Bus button on a channel strip (second pic). No options display - and I have no idea why not. I cannot load a new bank in Sylenth, or many other of my plugins (including Logic's own components) and I cannot assign channels to particular busses. It's a very sad state of affairs.

I'm using LP 9.1.8 on my (slowly tiring) 2007 iMac. Can any one help me sort this please? I'm sure it's a very simple problem, I just can't think of a simple solution.
thanks

It seems it is only getting worse: there are no pictures.

Logic Pro 9 - MOTU MK II inputs not available in channel strip

I usually use a MOTU 24 i/o as my main Logic Pro 9.1.5 audio interface. I'm trying to use a MOTU MK II and it is connected via firewire. It shows up fine in the Logic > Audio > core audio driver preference and is checked on. However the MKII in/outs are not available on Logic's channel strip inputs and outputs. Logic still shows the 24 i/o's even though the 24 i/o is not selected in audio preferences and is not even turned on.
I've reinstalled the latest MOTU drivers, trashed Logic's preferences and restarted my MacPro but it is still the same. Only the 24 i/o available in the channel strip input and output.
Is there a second audio i/o setting that I'm missing?
My Mic is registering OK in the MKII so I know it is getting a signal.
Thanks,
Richard

For some reason Logic is listing the 24 i/o inputs.
I've renamed the 828 Mk2 1 & 2 inputs to Vox 1 and Vox 2. The MK2 has 8 analog inputs plus two mic/line inputs for a total of ten audio inputs, not 14 as listed in the channel strip input drop down.
Audio registers in and out of the Mk2 but does not register in Logic's channel strip input. I just switched back to the 24 i/o to test and audio registers fine in Logic's channel strip input with the 24 i/o. Just not with the MK2 selected as the audio source.
I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem or if I'm missing an audio input setting somewhere.
Thanks,
Richard
