Recording audio without simultaneously recording click track?

I don't have an external mixing board. I want to record an audio track (coming in through a small M-Audio Fast Track Pro unit) ... while listening to a click track (KlopfGeist), without recording the KlopfGeist.
Is there a way within Logic 8 to route this?
All ears,
Ben

Hi,
Just playback the click, it will not come back in via the inputs of your audio interface.
Cheers

Recording click track??

Hi, I have been trying unsuccesfully to record a click track onto my arrangements in Logic (panned to the left so that only I can hear it, other tracks panned to the right to go through p.a.) to use in Mainstage - cannot manage to record a click - have resorted to making my own through a percussion or similar instrument in Logic, which sort of works. But wondered if there is a way of simply recording a click...?
Thanks in advance.

Several ways to do this:
1. In logic, create a new software instrument track and use Ultrabeat. I like a hi-hat sound from ultrabeat but you can select whatever fits your purpose. You can then create a midi region and insert the notes yourself. Or you can use the Ultrabeat sequencer to do it.
2.When I use Mainstage, I have created a track at the concert level. There, I put an instance of Ultrabeat. On the ultrabeat sequencer I create a simple step sequence on the 1 2 3 and 4 (as I said previously, you can choose whatever sound fits your purpose). Then, I have a button on my keyboard mapped to the "play" on the Ultrabeat sequencer and I can turn it on or off as I please. Better, the speed changes as I pass from patch to patch because it's at concert level. Just make sure to change the bpm for each patch under the attributes tab.
Hope that helps,

Audio Generator Plug in: Click Track?

Anyone know of either an audio generator plug-in that will generate a click track, or alternatively, something that will place a series of markers in clips at specified intervals?

Well, OK, but I need the flexibility to adjust the click periodicity.
What you're suggesting is fine, so thanks Michael; but it's not going to have the adjustability I need. For each new music track I do, I have to do all the work again at a slightly different periodicity.

Recording click to audio track

I have a guitar part that I want to record with a click. I want to be able to take the click track with me. I tried re assigning an audio track to MIDI click and tried recording just the click, but it captures nothing. basically I want to just record the click to a track. How is this done? thanks

Assign the Klopfgeist to an instrument track, open the piano roll editor and write four 1/4 note (if you want an accent on the first beat raise the velocity of the first note).
Now send the output of the track (from the channel strip) to a bus, create an audio track and set it's input to the bus that you chose.
Arm the record button and record a 4/4 measure.
Cut the region and, from the mini menu Audio, choose open in Apple Loops Utility.
Create your Apple Loop click and save it into the loop library: now you have your audio click as an Apple loop so you can use it everytime you need and at any speed.
But it's simpler if you find a single shot Apple loop and use it without to begin from start.

Recording 2 tracks simultaneously?????

I'm having trouble recording 2 tracks simultaneously in Logic Pro 7. I'm recording a podcast and want to record 2 separate mic's, one for each host.
I have the Lexicon Lambda audio recording interface.
For some reason i cant figure out how to select "Input 2" for my "Track 2". I guess that's really all i need to know how to do........ select "Input 2". I've seached throughout the program and clicked everywhere and just cant seem to figure out how to select it. I click on the bar that says "Input 1", but nothing happens.
Even if i do figure out how to select "Input 2" (which i think i did one night), will i be able to record 2 tracks at once, using 2 different inputs?
This is driving me nuts......... it seems so easy, but i just cant figure it out!!!
Thank you!! Love you!!!!!!

So I've made progress..... In the menu of the Audio window on the left where it says "Channel: Track 2", I click on the little arrows and I am able to select "Input 2". But then the window underneath the Audio window (the window with the level meter) changes a bit.
I am able to highlight the record button on both tracks 1 and 2, and i'm showing separate volume readings for each...... so everything is good so far.
The problem comes when i actually hit record. I hit record, and the cursor runs, but nothing gets recorded. No waveforms pop up. I've figured that this only happens when i have "Input 2" selected.
Track 1 still will record, but only if it's record button is highlighted by itself.
This is driving me insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have noticed that in any track that i have "Input 2" selected, the little snowflake button dissapears, as well. This snowflake button is next to the mute and record buttons in the track window. I dont even know what this snowflake button does. Is it a "solo" button? Button. Button. Button.
Does anybody know what is going on??
Do I need to select some kind of "Stereo" setting or something in my Preferences?
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Recording audio without video

Is there any way to record live audio from a mic and
streaming it through FMS without having to have a webcam plugged
in? Is there way to use another video source other than a webcam,
such as an existing flv?
thank you.

Sure... you can record audio without video. It's the same as
recording both... just don't attach the camera to the netstream.
As for adding another video image... that one you can't do.
You can only play once source over a stream, so video from one
source and audio from another can't be played across a common
stream.

Can I record multiple tracks simultaneously in v. 1.1?

Hey, I found some instructions online about how to record multiple tracks simultaneously in version 3, but I can't figure out how to do it in the old version I have, 1.1. Any help is appreciated. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping this feature wasn't implemented later. I have a two-mic setup for podcasts, and need to record both on diff. tracks.

Multi-track recording was added in v2
From STP 2 Manual - New Features:
Multitrack Recording
With Soundtrack Pro 2, you can record across multiple tracks in the Timeline. (This is limited only by your hardware setup.)
So, not available in v1
Have you tried Garageband?

Audio interface for recording 2 tracks at once

What are my Audio Interface options for recording two tracks at once on my Macbook? What have you had success with?
Thanks

I'm sure you will get numerous recommendations - what you want really is an Apogee Duet... it's the best thing you'll find for the price and it sounds great...
I use an Edirol FA-66 with a MacBook with no problems at all, except it sounds a bit "thin"...
Over to the rest of you...

Recording more than one audio region on the same track

When I record my audio, i set up one track, with loads of plugins to record my main vocals on. If i want more than one vocal sample to play together with the same eq, ill put them both on the same track but Logic wont allow this and will play the latest entering region and suddenly cut off the other one. Can anyone provide me with a solution as to how to deal with this? Thanks

copy your performance to a new audio track
in the channel strip of the original, you can copy the channel strip settings from the pull down menu and paste them into the new tracks channel strip

Using Pro Logic X to record. I have several tracks and I'm trying to record an audio track. I have the mic connect to Avalon 737 then into apollo interface. When I record all track are being recorded into that track. I can't just get the audio to record.

Thanks for responding. Everything seems to work right except for the when I plug into the 737. Ok let me see if I can be more clear. I had this set up done with two representatives of Neumann, and DBox. Here it is I hope this helps. 32 Channel snake (24 Inputs 8 outputs) Channels 1-8 from snake to my Octopre for Drums. From Octropre output quarter inch lines into the Apollo 2, quarter inch input. This is so that the Apollo 2 is taking the drum tracks. Snake Channel 9-12 into Apollo 1 channels 1-4 xlr. Snake Channel 13-16 into Apollo 2 Channels 1-4 xlr. Snake Channel 17 into the 737, output of 737 into Channel 5 of the Apollo 1 quarter inch.
Ok The Dbox. Sum output L&R into channel input 7&8 of Apollo 1. Apollo 1 output channels 1-8 into summing input channel 1-8 of Dbox. Apollo 1 main L&R going to main analog input L&R of Dbox. Spid out to DAW input of Dbox. I have both ADAT of both Apollos connected by optical wire. Also have port 2 of Apollo 1 into port 1 of Apollo 2 connected by Firewire. Let me know. Hope I got it right. Thanks for responding.

Recording software tracks simultaneously in 10.3 is not working for me

How do I record software tracks simultaneously on 10.0.3? When I press the record button on each software instrument track and press record on the main, it only records the highlighted track even though I hear both instruments.

A few dozen have looked so I may not be alone. Yet no one has offered a suggestion? I am still at 10.2.2.214 and iPhone on iOS 4.2.1. iTunes takes very long time to open 3+ minutes and does not respond when device connected then fails to see any device connnected. Will Apple address or fail to fiind this issue? two years ago a few months passed and few upgrades then iPhone was recognized. All worked fine until last month with10.2 update. What are my options here? Please I have gone through ideas presented here for amonth, get one or two to work for a day and then fail after that. I would like to get stable operation of iTnes and then I'll leave things alone. I really do find the 3GS a good buy right now but, with no iTunes why buy it?

How can I record multiple tracks simultaneously?

How can I record multiple tracks simultaneously? Or rather what hardware do I need to do this? I currently run guitars and mic into a PA and then the PA into Garageband. But this is just one track. I want to record the guitar as one track while simultaneously recording vocals as another track. What hardware do you suggest - keeping it affordable?

if you want to use your two chanel PA, pan 1 channel to the left, and the other to the right, and set one GB track to Mono 1 and the other to mono 2.
if you want better quality, any two channel interface will work:

How do I make fades in MIDI tracks without recording the track first

I have "RTFM";s and spent 2 hours at an Apple store with their resident "Logic Pro specialist" who was also unable to use the transform window to, basically, make [assign] a tool for, in this case, fading every dotted quarter note in the whole song, there must be a Widget wiz out there who could make one that could be used as a dedicated tool for adjustable MIDI fades. Yes, I could bounce[record]the track and edit the Audio file but almost all options as far as tempo, key,etc. are lost-wasn't this the reason for MIDI as opposed to analog? no, the degradation of copy/cut in analog sound opposed to digital mode is the reason, it's a pity no one from Apple seems to care about their own products enough to read these forums, stuck in traffic probably, crying all the way to the Bank. Thanks in advance for all the help!

Hi,
From what I read in your post, there is a MIDI performance which contains dotted quarter notes, which you would like to fade out before the note ends. Am I correct?
What I have done in the past, and I do this to an AUDIO track... is to use a gate. I set it so that it closes x milliseconds aftdr opening, and closes at a rate of X milliseconds.
So I recommend you render the dotted quarter notes and use an audio gate to accomplish this task.
Or, you can spend hours trying to do it in MIDI-land. And fail. This will get you there in about 3-5 minutes of fiddling.
I have tried before to do it with a MIDI gate, but... they are not as flexible or good-sounding as the audio one.
Of course, you'll end up "losing" your ability to change the tempo etc... BUT, you can always keep the Midi performance, and re-print a version at a new tempo if that is what you need to do. I do this alll the time, with one caveat: I find the key and tempo FIRST, before doign the basic tracking. Then that is no longer an issue. But you can do it any other way you like.
Cheers

How can I record 2 tracks simultaneously in GarageBand for iOS?

I am trying to record 2 tracks at the same time, one, a line in for my guitar and the other a vocal mic. I am using an Alesis i/o Dock with my iPad Air 2, everything is updated, and everything is plugged in correctly. When I select either track from the multitrack screen, I can see that both work appropriately. However, when I hit the record button, the screen goes from the multitrack view to the track that is 'highlighted' and the record process goes from there. So if the 'amp' (guitar) track is highlighted, the app take me from the view with both on it to the 'guitar amp' selection, showing the head that I selected. Now, in the past, I have recorded 2 tracks at the same time. I still have the original recording showing both tracks and their settings. Even when I try to match the setting (both were on Left Channel, for example) it doesn't work. On my recent attempt to record (the one this question is about) I put the mic track on Right Channel and the line in on Left Channel, and vice versa. I tried putting them both on the same thinking that maybe that's what I did before because the app might not be able to do both Channels at the same time. I tried using the Mic track in stereo and the Line In on Left and tried it on Right; nothing. Has GarageBand taken this feature out on iOS? I do see if I had a Mac there is an 'Enable Multirack Recording' box to check, but I don't see anything like that for iOS... Can anyone help??

in one the YouTube Tutorials, it is not possible in iOS. but hopefully in the later version it should be.

I record multiple tracks (3-5) from real instruments and vocals. I want to send these files to a collaborator to add more tracks to, but Garageband wants to mix these down (which I don't want). How can I send the multiple tracks files to my friend?

I record multiple tracks of real instruments and vocals wth Garage Band. I want to share the file with a collaborator so he can add another instrument or two. I have not found a way to do this without the process mixing down the tracks. I don't want them mixed down like when I send them to Itunes. Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes. I thought I saw a method to do this with software instruments, but how do you do it with real instruments? I've tried every process on the "export" list to try to accomplish this, without success. Thanks for any breakthrough advice on this!

As isteveus said - for large projects uploading to a server would be best.
Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes.
But for completeness's sake , you cou can mail a project, if you ctrl-click the project and use "Compress xxx.band". This will compress the project and create a zip file, that you can mail (if it is not too large). But ask your friend for the maximal file size allowed as a mail attachment.
But whichever method you use to share your project, be sure you include all loops and instruments, if your friend does not have the same JamPacks installed. You can bundle the loops into the project by saving it as an archive. "File > Save as" and check the "Archive Project" option.
If this option should be disabled, you can force it to become active by editing your project slightly. It is only available, if the project needs saving.
