Record automatic section while existing tracks loop ?

How do I lay down a 4 bar loop of drums / bass etc and keep them looping whilst recording a longer performance using the 'Automatic' option for the section length?
It seems that the existing tracks cease at 4 bars (rather than looping) while the recording continues... it's not until playback when I can reapply the 'loop' option to the backing tracks to have them loop for the new duration of the section.
Would be handy to set up 4 bars of backing and record some ideas over a longer duration and cut out and use the good bits...

A good idea is, if you are wanting to lay down the backing before you beging playing is not to select * automatic length* as this will immediately restrict the amount of bars you can initially stretch your backing track over. Try it, you'll see what I mean.
Not come across any restriction. Simply clicked on the backing tracks and selected 'loop' and it's automatically filled to the same length as the last recording made on 'automatic' - no problem.
But, would be useful if the backing tracks (set to 'loop') would keep looping whilst recording on 'automatic' without having to initially specific the maximum section length first...
So the best thing to do is set an initial bar length of the maximum 32 bars. Now,as you see,you can stretch your backing all the way along and even trim it back later if you so wish.
Is the maximum really 32 bars... ? I'm sure I've gone well beyond that.

  • Logic Pro X - How do I record my voice over existing tracks (via a mike and audio interface) without hearing those tracks on the speaker. I have headphones plugged into the interface but it doesn't stop in coming out of the speakers?

    I'm new to Logic Pro X and can't work out how to record my voice over existing tracks without them playing over the speaker. I'm using a Sure mike through an audio interface and have headphones plugged into the interface?

    Hi Kevin, what kind of audio interface do you have?

  • Recording over existing tracks w/ Audition to make sure timing is correct

    A problem I have consistently is keeping the right timing for tracks when I am importing previously recorded tracks into a new session of a song. To get around this previously in older editions of Adobe Audition, I would record whole blank tracks that corresponded to the duration of the instrumental track. I would then simply record over the blank tracks. Thus, even if the computer crashed or I switched to a new session, it would be easy to maintain the appropriate timing of vocals, because everything had the same duration and start time.
    However, with the current edition of Adobe Audition, when you try to record over a pre-existing track in multitrack view, it creates a new block instead of recording over the old block. What do I do to solve my original problem, or how can I record over existing blocks without having new blocks show up?
    I hope this makes sense. Please help.

    I finally found the solution on page 317 of the manual. Under Options in the top menu choose "auto input monitoring." Isn't that obvious when every other input/ouput control is in the Arrange and Mixer screens? Oh, well, now it works very well, great sound and no tracks overlaying.

  • While recording a guitar do not record the output from other tracks

    Hi all,
    I'm an audition/recording newbie. I have Audition CC. I have recorded one guitar track. and now I'd like to record another one. The problem is that when I try to record it the output from the other one gets recorded as well. I do want to hear the output from the first track while recording track 2 but I want only to record my guitar playing in track 2.
    Thank you.

    The basic problem here is not actually caused by Audition, but by your sound device mixer, which appears to be letting you record everything you hear - so that will be the guitar part you are playing, and also the replayed tracks that you've already recorded. In Windows, the fix for this is generally to make sure that the recording source is set to be just the input you are using, and not 'what you hear' or whatever it is on your device. The playback part of the mixer should let you monitor both the wav playback and your source, which is what you need to be doing - it's only the record settings you need to look at.
    If you are using a Mac though, I can't help you because I don't know anything about how they work from that POV, but I'd imagine that it must be similar.

  • Patching in with guitar to an existing track.

    I'm recording a guitar track and while playing I mess up on a certain part. Is there a way to patch in to the existing track or do I have to create a new track and blend them together?

    You mean punch in, right? ;-)
    GB doesn't have that option, the way with the new track that you outline is the best way to achieve it. You can afterwards edit and join the regions on the old track.

    I'm new using Logic, i've been using garageband for quite awhile now though but my question is just basic. When i want to record electric guitar while clicking the software option it brings me to alot of guitar sounds that i want to chose. I chose the twangy electric or the distorted strat but i only hear clean sounds. No matter what kind of guitar sound i chose in the library it only produces clean guitar. How can i make it sound like it supposed to? Did i miss something i should do?

    This definitely has me stumped as I'm unsure as to why your guitar can be heard, but with none of the channel strips plugins applied to the sound.
    On the record enabled channel strip that contains your guitar input, is the "I" button located near the "R" active? Also, if you record your guitar, can you hear the FX applied to it when you play back the recorded track?

  • Is there a way to select multiple track sections from different tracks and join them to make the chorus on iPhone?

    I am currently using the iPhone to record my vocals on top of professional beats, or riddims as they are called in the dancehall world. Is there a way for me to select multipe voice sections from different tracks, copy them and then paste them later in the project. I don't want to record the chorus more than once. Normally what I do is sync the project to my wife MacBook Air and then from there edit it but I would like to avoid this. Also, I use the earpods microphone to record my voice and of course it doesn't come out professional quality but it is decent. Do you recommend a microphone that plugs to the iPhone or should I get an interface? Thanks for the help.

    You can either copy and paste single regions or duplicate sections, if you want to copy regions
    from different tracks in parallel. 
    See: Extend a song with song sections
    Adjust the length of your sections in a way, that the regions you want to copy from different tracks are together in a section of your song.
    Add a copy of a section:
    Open the song section controls, choose the section you want to copy, then tap Duplicate.The copy is added after the last section.
    Tap Done to close the song section controls.
    After copying the section, move the new section to the end of the song:
    Change the order of sections:
    Open the song section controls, then tap Edit.
    Drag a section up or down in the list by the handle on its right edge.
    When you are finished, tap Done.
    Tap Done to close the song section controls.

  • Recording Audio and Audio Instrument Tracks Simultaneously?

    Hi all,
    sometimes i'll leave an audio track armed (which my synth is hooked up to), while playing keys on an audio instrument track, and it usually creates some incredible textures. Every time I try to record the two at the same time, it never works. Is it in any way possible to record audio and virtual instrument tracks at the same time? Would it matter that I have the same synth hooked up as both (I use audio tracks for the synth, and MIDI for the virtual instruments)? Many thanks!

    Thanks for the responses! I'm actually able to arm both an audio and a virtual instrument track at the same time, and I hear both playing over each other. But as soon as I begin recording, I notice that only the virtual instrument track is recording what i'm playing. Any way around this?

  • Having Trouble Recording Skype Interview on Separate Tracks

    I'm using the Presonus Firestudio Project Mixer and Adobe Audition to try and record Skype interviews on separate tracks.  I am positive I have all cables hooked up properly on the mixer.
    Everything works fine except track two, which should only be picking up the other line of the Skype call, is still slightly picking up my voice.  So track one is just me.  Track two is podcast guest plus still me faintly.  I have track one dedicated to mic one, which is me.  And track two is dedicated to mic 3, which loops through the back on the mixer to the main outs.
    How can I completely eliminate myself on track two so that it only picks up the guest?

    I have two XLR Male to 1/4 inch TRS Male coming out of Mics three and four of the Presonus and routing back around back into the main outs of the Presonus.  This is supposed to make the loop so the Skype call can record separately. 
    I'm connecting Audition to the Presonus simply by selecting Mic three for the guests track and Mic one for mine.  It's picking up both fine, it's just picking me up on both tracks.  The Skype signal is coming into Audition via the Presonus mixer.
    All Audition, Skype and Mac audio settings are set entirely to Presonus.

  • How do I get an XY Chart to display properly while using embedded loop

    s to periodically read multiple channels of similar data? (multi-Y versus specified time) The plot just becomes a point or a single plot of all values taken at one scanning of all channels. I want multiple plots over time updated at the time of scanning.I have also stored my data in a daily text file that is tab delimited. The text files consists of a row of text column headers, a blank row and then rows of data. The data rows are mixed data types. The first column is a date/time such as Mar 1, 2002 12:01 pm. The remaining columns are numeric data. I can't seem to get my data to plot properly in an XY chart from memory and am having problems parsing the data with mixed data types in the data r
    ows. The format I am using works great for viewing the history files in Excel.
    When I plot the data, I either get a single point or a a series of points for a single reading of all channels or I get a line connecting all data for that single scan reading. What am I doing wrong? At this point, I don't care if I read the data from the file to plot it or if I can just get Labview to plot correctly as the data is gathered without going to the history file.
    As noted in the summary question, I have embedded loops in my applicaiton. I have a while-loop that determines the scan rate and keeps the program running until it is turned off. Inside of that, I have a for-loop (in a subVI) which scans all my data channels.
    Thanks for your help.

I want multiple plots over time updated at the time of scanning.XY plots expect a cluster containing two 1D arrays for the X and Y
    coordinates of the individual points. If you want multiple plots you can
    supply an array of these clusters but you have to resupply the "x" array
    for each of them.
    Hope that helps,

  • EM  - Delete Existing Tracking ID and add New Tracking ID

    Hello Everyone
    I am working on u201CDual Tracking IDu201D issue for EM Project.
    Issue: Current design, when Users change Tracking ID (Inbound Delivery Bill of Lading #), In Event Management, we have both Old and New Tracking ID (YTRACK_NO).
    Solution: Users / Business Requested to Update Existing Tracking ID (YTRACK_NO) in EM. Anytime in EM, we will have only NEW value of YTRACK_NO.
    For the same, I modified FM in ECC and Config (Rules) in EM.
    Added  Tracking References in Event Message FM whenever there is change in Tracking No.
    Replace Existing Tracking ID YTRACK_NO with new Value
          ls_trackreferences-evtcnt   = lv_evtcnt.
          ls_trackreferences-refcod   = 'YTRACK_NO'.
          ls_trackreferences-refid    = <ls_xlikp>-bolnr.
          ls_trackreferences-refusage = 'T'.
          ls_trackreferences-action   = 'A'.
          APPEND ls_trackreferences TO lt_trackreferences.
    Configuration / Rules in EM:
    For YIDN_CHANGED_TRAC Activity:
    Iu2019ve added Task12 u2013 Delete Tracking u2013 Activity TRACKING_ID_REMOVE
    TASK 15 u2013 Added Tracking ID u2013 Activity TRACKING_ID_SET
    Once the FM and Config is completed,
    When I change Existing Inbound Delivery BOL #, I see TRACKING ID (YTRACK_NO) is deleted from Tracking ID Tab for Inbound Delivery EH but new Tracking ID (YTRACK_NO) is not added either.
    I checked SLG1 ( logs) and I see Activity is Triggered and RC = 0. Donu2019t see any errors either.
    I see entry in /saptrx/evm_ref ( New Tracking ID) table.
    Any thoughts?
    Any help is appreciated.
    PS:
    u2022     Once the Event Messages is posted, If I do Reprocess Event Messages (Manually), interestingly New Tracking ID is getting added to EH.
    u2022     Also if post Event Messages through BADI (/SAPTRX/BAPI_EH_ADDEVENTMSG_02) in EM (manually) , it works Perfectly (Deletes and Adds new Tracking ID)

  • Few records are missing while downloading to a Spreadsheet  from a Report

    Dear Gurus,
    few records are missing while downloading to a Spread sheet from a Z report.  There are around 300 records, out of which 11 records are not appearing in Spreadsheet file after saving.  But, the funny thing is when i try to save in other format like, HTML or to a clip board all records are coming. 
    When asked, the ABAPer said -
        your report is coming correctly.  if the report is wrong then we can try checking some code in the Z report.  Saving it into Spread sheet is the standard program provided by SAP.
    He is also facing this problem for the first time.
    Can anybody help.
    Thanks in advance and u will get points if useful.

    Few days back we got this kind of error, when i tried to down load the asset balances in excel format.
    It was observed that, for one of the asset description ends with cama",".  Due to this reason all other details has been stored in single cell.  Once we changed the master data of that asset, then we able to get the report properly.
    2) Some other time, when we tried to download material master details, for one of the material ... description not maintained.  this is another issue. After maintain the description problem got resolved.
    Hope this information will be helpful to u.

  • HD read-write problems recording more of 16 audio tracks

    I've a strange problem that i don't have in digital performer with rosetta!
    When i record more of 5-6 track...for example 16...when i stop the registration....logic is blocked for 30-40 seconds....and then it begin to create overview!
    in this time i've see the hd read and write at 5 mb/sec....
    It isn't normal!!! I've tried all the settings of audio driver and buffer....but nothing change
    anybody can help me?!?
    p.s. sorry for my bad english!

    1 : Waht sample Rate are u using -
    2 : I have disk Journaling on and record @ 96KHZ - and can do 64 tracks simoultaneously (split on 4 drives)
    3 : Is your recording drive very fragmented if so defragment it
    4 : Dont EVER record to your system drive - too much activity going on there
    5 : Set your Max Recording time to 10 minutes in the "Set record path" dialog in Logic ( If you have not set the max rec. time Logic will "Freeze" all available space on the disk for the recording and that can lead to problems especially if u aint using a dedicated hard drive to wirte your audio to
    6 : it is very important to have a dedicated drive to record audio to - being an internal SATA or Firewire 400/800 - as long as this drive is being used to record only...This has solved many problems for me...
