Re-assign outputs to channel strip

I could not find the answer to the following question: how do I change the outputs of a channel strip?
More details: I got a logic project file from someone else. The file uses outputs 23 and 24 for all channels. These outputs do not exist on my machine, so I don't hear those tracks. I would like to reassign the outputs to 1 and 2. If I clic on the output icon on the channel strip, nothing happens. I did not find anything in the menus, the manuals or this forum either.
If I create a new track, I can assign outputs 1 and 2 to it and I hear the music on these outputs.
Thank you in advance for any help.

In your Mixer highlight all the tracks routed to 23-24 by sliding your mouse over them with left click pressed, all channels turn greyish-> then long click on one of the Ouput slots above the channel fader->menue opens->select 1-2->all of the selected channels will be routed to 1-2.

Mapping output/bus channel strip parameters

I'm unable to map any parameters on AUs inserted on output or bus channels, only input channels appear to be mappable. I wanted to set up a 4 channel in and out to use in smaller venues so I could get stereo in and out system left/right as well as reverb in and out and delay in and out to use instead of a FOH effects rack.

You can only map to them on concert level.

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

Duplicate Output channel strips

I see a thread about duplicate aux channels appearing. I'm not seeing that on my end, but what I am getting is multiple (and it's more than two now) Output channel strips. Thankfully, they only appear at the concert level, and don't appear more than once in each patch or set. But the behavior is really bizzare, and a little worrisome because i've found that if I try to delete one of them, if I can successfully do it, then the file will become corrupted and will never reopen! When I'm at the concert level, if I adjust any of the controls on one of them, it's adjusted for all of them... very strange indeed.
I've created multiple Concert files, and I see this behavior exhibited in all of them. The more patches I add, the more the number seems to grow. I believe that every time I copy/paste a patch, it adds one, but I'm not sure exactly what the exact criteria are to make this happen. Is anyone else seeing this?
Also, I have two unrelated questions:
1) There isn't, by any chance, a way of creating alias or shortcut patches, is there? Some way of creating duplicates so I can create multiple sets with some of the same patches (I'd like to create some "Show Setlist" sets, and a main "All Tracks" set, but have some of the same patches in each, that would get modified when I modify any instance).
2) I'm coming from Jambalaya, a similar, and simpler live host that I would continue to be using today if the developer continued supporting it. One thing that was really nice about that was it had a virtual rack where you could store common instruments and effects. It would be accessible to all "songs" (patches), and would save a major amount of load time. Since every one of my patches contains from 2 - 8 instrument channels, it was really helpful. I don't suppose there is any way to reproduce this functionality in MS? I also use this feature in Digital Performer, but I don't use that as a live host. So far, I've noticed that if you add a channel strip at the concert level, it plays back on all patches without any routing or way of arming it or not, so that won't work for me. I guess this is more a feature request than a question, but I'm new enough to MS that maybe someone has found a way.

I haven't experienced any of the channel strip issues, at the concert level or at patch level. It's easy to copy patches or make aliases. To copy a patch, select a patch, go to edit>copy or command>C. To paste, edit>paste or paste as alias(command>V or option-command>V).

Output channel strip blank

Has anyone seen this ?
I'm using Logic Pro 9. In one of the songs I'm working on, the output 1-2 channel strips ismblank. It doesn't have any of the insert buttons and I can't select any of the presets. (ie. Pop mastering, etc.)
I tried deleting the output strip and creating a new one, but that didn't work. It just created another blank channel strip.
Thanks for any help...

Do you accidently have a channel set to surround?

LP 9 NOT DISPLAYING EQ or INSERTS ON OUTPUT CHANNEL STRIPS

This is odd: Logic is not displaying EQ or Inserts on some of the Stereo Output Channel Strips. Instead of "Output 1 - 2" I have a "Master Output" with no EQ or Inserts. When I check the other stereo output strips I find that only one (output 7-8) is displaying properly. How can I fix this?
Thanks!

The output is turned on, yes. This is a session I did in Logic Pro 7 and opened in LP9. Again, as I said, OUTPUT 3-4, 5-6 also do not show up properly. Only Output 7-8 shows up w/EQ and Inserts showing.
I've opened several other LP7 sessions in LP9 and not had this problem. LP9 refuses to see the output (1-2) correctly.
When I turn off "Master" in the mixer window (upper right corner buttons), nothing changes. When I turn off "Outputs", the Master disappears.

How do I reassign tracks to different channel strips? The option is not available to me via the "Assignable Checkbox"

Hello,
I'm new to the world of sound production and Logic Pro X and have recently encountered a problem in that I cannot reassign tracks to different channel strips via the assignable checkbox. I looked at the problem in the Help section that Apple has provided, and "found the solution." All I have to do is right-click or control-click the track header and click on "Reassign Track" as demonstrated in the following link: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12919
However, when I control-click the track header, the option "Reassign Value" is not even an option, and my screen appears as follows:
Note that above "New Audio Track" there is no option to "Reassign Value" like in the link above. I have checked, and I seem to have the latest versions of Logic Pro X and my OS is up to date.
Does anybody think they have a solution? I'd really appreciate it.
Thank You!!!

You need to enable the Advanced Features in preferences.

My output channel strip is in the middle of my mixer. How can I replace it next to the master?

In the mixer window of Logic Pro the output channel strip has moved to the middle of the audio strips. How can I move it back to its usual spot next to the master strip?

Sounds like you have created an Aux track for your Output channel strip, and the position of that track on the arrange page now determines the place of the output channel strip on your mixer. So, you'll have to move that track so it is the bottom track in the arrangement, then the output channel strip in the mixer should move to the right again.
It is a sorely missed (and often requested) feature to be able to move channel strips around freely in the mixer.

Why can't I save inputs, outputs, or colors with Channel Strip settings? :(

I am really just starting to embrace the library for Channel Strip settings - I love that it saves the plug-ins and cusotm Icons, but I kind of thought it would make sense for everything to be saved, no?
I would like to choose a Channel Strip and have it show up with the I/O routing and a saved color. Is this possible and I am just missing it?

You may be hitting a bug. On my system, when I double-click a bin, the new instance of the Project panel inherits the column layout from the current instance. A screen capture video may help get a better handle on what you're seeing.
like a feature request to be able to save Project Panel column order independent of the saved workspace.
If I'm just misunderstanding and PPro is behaving as expected, then you have two options:
Have each user save a workspace with their own particular panel layout and a common column order. Then, after taking hand-off of the project, select the preferred workspace.
when the project is handed off, have the recipient enable the "Import Workspace from Projects" option in order to get the column layout (Window>Workspaces), then move the panels around as desired.

LP8: "Create New Auxilliary Channel Strips" won't create stereo

I have recently reloaded Logic Pro v8.0.2 onto a newly reformatted drive running OSX 10.5.8. I have opened a previous session, and brought Logic back out of Universal Track Mode. My mix busses had been converted to mono, so I deleted them and am attempting to recreate them. I'm having trouble creating stereo Aux channels to serve as stereo Bus channels. I try:
Mixer > Options > Create New Auxilliary Channel Strips
I choose these options:
Format: Stereo
Input: Bus 3-4 (for example), "Ascending" is checked
Output: Output 1-2
Upon clicking "Create" I get a mono track. In this example, a channel named Aux 3 which will only accept a mono input. I can therefore assign Bus 3 as the input on this Aux channel, but not Bus 3-4. There's no mono or stereo link-rings icon in the lower left of the Aux strip for me to toggle between stereo and mono.
Could someone explain what I'm doing wrong? Happy new year, all. - Jeff

I've got Core Audio going, and my interface is MOTU 828 mkII. My typical workflow has been with Universal Track Mode (UTM) deactivated. What I have seen is that when UTM is enabled on my sessions, the Aux channels switch from stereo to mono with the fader rotated all the way to the left.
That's what I saw when opening my session under the re-installed Logic, which defaulted to UTM enabled. So, I disabled UTM. But now, when creating new Aux strips, I get mono channels even when requesting stereo channels.
Also - typically, when I enable a bus send on an audio channel, the corresponding bus channel would appear in my Mixer. Now, that's not happening.
Thanks for your feedback thus far, Erik. - j

Send and returns to Auxiliary channel strips

Hi,
Does any body know how to make the Auxiliary channel strips appear on the list of possible output sends for the individual channel strips?
I would like to send a number of channels to a single Auxiliary strip but I cannot figure out how to do so.
Thank you.

THis is part of the messy way Logic uses Auxes and Busses... At least in my opinion.
But the answer is, send all the drum tracks to a bus. Either with a 'send' pot, or by assigning the output of the channels to a buss.
Logic will then create that buss (if it doesn't already exist) AND an AUX with that bus as its input.
So then, from that new AUX (which has all your drums going to it) you can add a send to another buss.
And logic will again create that buss (if need be) AND an aux with the new buss as its input. You can put your reverb or other effects on that new AUX and you're done.
I won't start the whole AUX vs. BUS debate again. Or I'll try not to. But I'm not a fan of the current system. BUT it does work.
Best idea is to create a template with your busses and auxes set up as you like. I've got 8 auxes fed by submix busses (drums, keys, lead vox, backing vox, gits, orchestra, keys, and leads) and then 8 fx auxes (fed by busses 9-18) with various reverbs, delays, etc on'em.
Good luck.

Solo Button in Channel Strip with Red Line

Solo Button in Channel Strip with Red Line through it and it won't solo?
How'd it happen and how do you get rid of it?
Thanks!

Try This----From the Manual
Logic Pro, Express: Solo Safe mode may not remain disabled for a particular channel strip
Symptoms
In certain projects, "Solo Safe" mode for a channel strip may enable each time you load the project, even after you disable it and save the project.
Resolution
When a channel strip in Logic is "Solo Safe", it remains audible, even when other channel strips are soloed. Solo Safe is indicated by a diagonal red line through the solo button on a channel strip.
You can manually toggle the solo safe status of a channel strip by Control-clicking its solo button. There are times when you may find that a particular audio channel strip in a project reverts to solo safe mode when you load the project, even after you manually disable solo safe. Here is why that may happen and steps you can take to prevent it from occurring.
A Logic project contains a special audio channel strip used for pre-listening to audio in the Sample Edit window, Audio Bin, and Loop Browser. When you create a Logic project from one of the factory templates, this channel strip is assigned to "Audio 256". This channel strip stays in solo safe mode so that you can always preview audio. The image below shows the channel strip for a new, empty project.
If there is no audio channel strip in a project assigned to "Audio 256", Logic will use the highest-numbered available audio channel for pre-listening. When the project is loaded, that channel strip will be put into solo safe mode. You may find this happens in older projects that you open in Logic 8, or in cases where you have deleted the "Audio 256" channel strip in a Logic 8 project. To prevent this from affecting channel strips you are using in a project's arrangement, follow these steps:
Choose Window > Environment.
From the Environment window menu, choose New > Channel Strip > Auxiliary. A channel strip will appear in the environment.
Select the channel strip. It will highlight.
In the Device parameter box in the upper left of the Environment window, click the arrows to the right of "Channel" and choose Audio > Audio 256 from the menu.
Select the text tool, click on the name below the channel strip and name it "Prelisten".

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

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

Basic Q, Routing all the audio tracks to a bus or aux channel strip ?

I'm a little confused on this issue.
I've been doing separate tracks for the sax solos and vocals using the best parts of several tracks with automation. I've been adding the same effect in each track separately and I know this is not good. I'd like to send all the sax tracks to an aux. strip with an effect and all the vocal tracks to another strip with a different effect but I'm just a little confused about it. I see in the Mixer you can add AUX channels but I'm not sure whether to use stereo or mono for this situation ? It seems like I should use stereo because many effects are stereo.

Ok, select all your vocal tracks in your mixer->channels strips turn grey->now in the third box above the Channelstrip fader select the output to be e.g. Bus 1->Logic will automatically route Bus 1 to Aux 1 if you haven't created Busses in your environment before->insert your fx into the Aux->select all your Sax tracks->route them to Bus 2->insert your fx->done
I guess you shift select from the arrange window for multiple selections in the mixer but I just did them one at a time.
In this situation there appears to be no need to use the add AUX button. In the lower of the two I/O slots I selected Bus1 for the Sax and a new Aux1 track was created. For the Vocal I selected Bus2 and a new Aux2 was created.
---Thank you Sampleconstruct . I'm still in the dark but this was a huge help.
