  • Sample and sample instrument folder

    hi all,
    I'm asking some basic question, but wish can get some help!!!
    First, i want to move all the jam pack to an external audio disk. i understand logic can locate automatic when i drag the loops in loops browser.
    But my main question is how about the sample and instrument folder? Should keep in computer harddisk? Or any good teach?
    Second, About song setting question.
    In my case, i basiclly only work with my powerbook. So do i need select this "copy EXS instruments to project folder" in Preference? Or if i want backup song as seperate file, then i should select it?
    Many thanks....

    The samples themselves, can reside anywhere. The .exs instrument files however, must remain in either the ~user>Library>Application support>Logic>Sampler Instruments folder, or the System Drive>Library>Application support>Logic>Sampler Instruments folder. Or at least an alias must reside there.
    These are the 2 places the EXS will look for it's instruments. It will also look in the song folder, and see if there is a "Sampler Instruments" folder there as well. Which deals with your second question...
    If you have a "Core" library... meaning you use the same sounds, from the same libraries, and never really alter them or change them from song to song, then it doesn't necessarily make sense to enable the "copy EXS" check box.
    But if you have heavily edited an .exs instrument for a specific song, or have made a new EXS instrument specifically for a song, then I think it makes sense to do that.
    And as far as archiving a song, once it's finished, it's probably a good idea to enable that box as well. Even if you think you'll always have a sample set around on your hard drive(s). A lot can change in your set up in a year or two's time. Better safe than sorry...

  • Sample instruments folder driving me nuts

    I'll apologize in advance, but I've checked up and down here and seem to have missed it, but everytime I try to put anything into the sample instruments folder, it won't go. I understand the differences between samples and files and all the rest, it's just a problem getting the actual information into the sample instruments folder. Is there something I need to turn off in order to load my samples? Thanks for the help...

    You may be trying to put your samples in the systems drives library, which by default, is locked.
    I believe it's Apple's intention for you to add your own samples to the user(~)>Library>Application Support>Logic>Sampler Instruments folder.
    But beyond that, that's really where the .exs files should reside, and the samples themselves should be in another location, other than the sampler instruments folder. Having the samples themselves in there, will severely slow down the time it takes Logic to launch, and that will get slower the more samples you add in there, because Logic scans that folder on start up.

  • HT200055 I have flattened a take folder, but Logic Pro X will still not let me use the crossfade tool on the clip.

    I have flattened a take folder, but Logic Pro X will still not let me use the crossfade tool on the clip.  How can I crossfade a flattened take folder?

    Please repost in the Final Cut Pro forum. Have you considered upgrading your machine, if you are still running Leopard your machine may be as old as 5 years old. While this should not matter you probably won't get the performance you want out of a demanding app like FCP.
    Best of luck.

  • How do I convert a Track Stack into a Take Folder in Logic Pro X?

    How do I convert a Track Stack into a Take Folder in Logic Pro X?
    I mistakenly took 13 takes and put it in a Track Stack instead of a Take Folder.   I'm afraid to lose the takes and I'm wondering how to convert this into a Take Folder so I can do a comp?
    Thanks,
    Marcel

    Here is what you do:
    Create a new Track and record something in Cycle Mode  (Take Folder Record Mode enabled if you record MIDI) so it creates a Take Folder
    Now select all the 13 Regions across the 13 Tracks and drag them onto the Take Folder.
    The Regions have to be in the time range of the Take Folder (overlap at least one bar)
    All the 13 Regions are now merged into a individual Regions of the Take Folder
    Hope that helps

  • I have a new mac book pro but cant find a user manual?

    I have a new mac book pro and cant find a user manual?

    being a windows user I too looked for a book as I had pretty much all large OS changes like XP to w7Pro.... so barnes and noble has what I found to be an excellent book after looking through many at bookstore...
    "OS X Mavericks The Missing Manual" which covers OS X 10.9.1 first edition was dec 2013 so recent book 850 plus pages of info and pictures very easy read and the views make it simple to follow.
    Me I like technical info but this book is for everyone with sections on just about every topic the OS has.
    I do believe I paid like $35 (US) but well worth it as I hadn't touched an Apple since 1988 with truly floppy discs we used to punch nothces in.
    Author is a N. Y. Times writer who wrote many a "Missing Manual" as I can't remember the last time anything came with a manual. I had a $4600. windows machine built by Puget Systems and others over the years from Falcon Northwest.... none came with manuals other than similar to Apples quick info foldout.
    Good luck

  • How would Kirk Hunter EXS24 instruments work with Logic Pro 9

    I understand that Kirk Hunter strings are quite good.  Does anyone know how the EXS24 version would work in logic pro 9? Is it just a question of putting  files in the correct directory so they show up in the media library, or is something else involved?
    Thanks
    (Note : The orchestral strings that come bundled with logic are  disappointing. For a quantitative example, playing C1 (2 Cs below middle C) of the cello, there is no contribution at the fundamental frequency of ~65 Hz, as can be seen from an EQ analyzer.)

    Kirk Hunter's EXS24 instruments work very well in Logic 9.
    Drag the instruments folder here: User>>Library>Application Support>Logic>Sampler Instruments.  (Or place an Alias of the KH instruments folder at the above location if you have your instruments stored on another drive.)
    I placed the instruments in the above location but have the samples on an external drive when using my MPB, and on a separate internal HD in my MP.
    Click on Options in the upper right of the EXS24 GUI to access Preferences.  Make sure that Search samples on... is set to All Volumes.
    The Diamond library is big bang for the buck when buying the EXS24 version.  I also have the EXS 24 version of Concert Strings ll.  But, it looks like KH is only going to release Kontakt versions of new products.  I ended up also buying the Kontakt version of Diamond.

  • Sampler Instruments Folder in Root or User to put additional exs files

    is it best to keep all sampler instruments in Root folder? i notice thats where it installs the origional ex samples and instruments. but i have converted giga and akai as well as other exs sample instruments i made. is it ok to put them all in the root or are they supposed to go in User/ sampler instruments or does it matter?
    thanks

    You can put them anywhere, as long as there are *identically named aliases* of the containing folders in either the root or the Users folder.
    Logic puts 'Convertees' by default in the Users folder, I believe.
    Whether it is best I cannot tell you, that depends on your use. If you use lots of EXS instruments in a project it may be advantageous to have all sound content on a a dedicated disk, to avoid too much traffic to and from the Startup volume, possibly leading to Logic reacting sluggishly.
    regards, Erik.

  • Kontakt instruments playback in Logic Pro 9 but they don't bounce to disk.

    After much searching and random attempts with settings in both Logic Pro and the Kontakt player, I haven't found a way to send the playback from the Kontakt player to Logic Pro. In Digital Performer (e.g.) it's accomplished by recording real-time playback of the MIDI-to-Kontakt (or other player being used as a plugin) and then drop the audio file into an audio track. I don't see a way to do that in Logic. When I bounced in realtime I heard the Kontakt instrument but it wasn't recorded. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
    MacBook Pro, M-Audio Fast Track Ultra

    I believe I am running it as a plugin. Kontakt is checked in the Audio Units Manager as available in Logic Pro and it appears in the Library when I create a stereo External MIDI track. If I create a Software Instruments track (which doesn't see Kontakt), I can reassign the track as a MIDI Instrument and select Kontakt 5 Virtual Input. That justs reassigns the channel as an External MIDI instrument and I'm back where I started.
    In Kontakt, the Output for Channel 1 (st. 1) only allows me to select my audio interface - M-Audio Fast Track Ultra. The only selections that will enable stereo playback in Logic appear in this screenshot:
    I tried using Reaktor in the same way and got the same result - playback but no bounce.
    In response to your multi-timbral setting idea, RT, the patch is a stereo sample and the multi-timbral aspect would only apply if I were loading a Software Instrument track (which apparently only allows selection of instruments within Logic).
    I tried working in the Environment window hoping I could cable Kontakt to Logic but that failed as well. I'm stumped.
    Thanks for the suggestions. Any other ideas are welcome!

  • Why can't I colour code my tracks / instruments in a Logic Pro Template?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create my own Logic template using an existing example template I found online.
    In this template, I want to be able to colour code all of my instruments / tracks so that each time I load my template, all the tracks will be set to specific colours (i.e. all kicks are dark blue, hats are light blue, synths are purple, bassline red, etc etc...)
    I've read that you can do this in the mini view menu (View > Configure Track Header > then tick 'Track Colour Bars') then you just select the desired colours for each track, and when you use this template again all these colours will be set.
    You can see the menu settings here ('Track Colour Bars' selected):
    I've done this with no problems on a completely new project (see image A below) but when trying to do it on this template I downloaded, the colours are not changing (see image B below)
    IMAGE A - Configure track header on a blank project
    IMAGE B - Configure track header on a existing project template
    Does anyone have any idea what might be overriding the colour settings on the template (IMAGE B)? As you can see, I have been able to colour the actual midi but it will  not colour the actual track.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I was having problems with this for a while. Logic Pro used to let you color they regions and the track at the same time. Now you have to color the track first then click, Option (Alt for PC keyboards) +Shift+C this changes the color of the regions on the track to the same color as the track. Hope this helps!

  • No sound from MIDI instrument / recording on Logic Pro 7

    Audio interface is set up properly.
    Logic Pro 7 says it records the midi signal, and the notes show up in the midi region (the rectangular box in the arrange window where you see the wave if its an 'audio' recording) but there is no output sound, even though it says in the bottom right that there is a MIDI output signal and i can see the notes on the screen with my own eyes.
    Normal line in / audio tracks record and play back fine. It's baffling!

    Its just a software instrument in logic. Tried a few different ones. in the bottom right, when i play a note it says that the output is on channel 3 (same as input, which is set to 3 on the midi keyboard. Audi interface is connected by usb, and it plays all other sounds from computer including line in / audio tracks on logic, as well as the tutorial track.
    Recent garage band convert. When you recorded a midi region with a software instrument with that you could hear it straight away. Is there something i need to know about routing the output through something else in logic?
    Thanks for your help

  • Creating a new software instrument track in Logic Pro 9

    When I create a new software instrument track in Logic 9, the newly-created track always defaults to "EVP 88 Electric Piano" instead of "Inst 1" like it's supposed to. Why does Logic do this and how can I restore the settings so that it opens the new track as "Inst 1."
    Thanks much!!
    Alex

    That was added around 9.1.1 - presumably so people wouldn't create an instrument and then ask "I created an instrument, but it don't make no sound." 
    You can uncheck the open library box or go to HD>Library>App support>Logic>channel strip settings>Instrument>01 Logic instruments and change the one called something like "EVP88 Electric Piano" to just "Electric Piano."

  • Logic Pro X midi keyboard (EXS24 help)

    So im  new to logic (December 2013) and have been using it to make some hip hop beats. I use a akai mpk25 keyboard with logic pro x. I have been using the EXS24 sampler a lot in my production. I have saved many sampler instrumentals with different kicks, snares, percussion etc. And for the longest time the left most key on my mpk was C2 inside of logic. And all my exs instruments started with C2 and worked its way down so every key played a different sound. Now randomly, dont know what I did but its saying that leftmost key is C1 and when i hit the keys on the left side of my keyboard no sounds come out until i get to about the middle of the keyboard where the new C2 is..... Probably an easy fix but i dont know Im a rookie lol. Only like half the sounds will play in all my sampler instruments and i would appreciate some help. thanks

    While it could be Logic, have you checked your keyboard manual and see if you accidently hi the transpose buttone or octave change button. I would look there first

  • Logic Pro can't find Guitar Rig 5

    I just downloaded Guitar Rig 5 Pro, and I have activated it. But I can't seem to find it in Logic Pro. It's not under I/O and AU instruments. I have Kontakt 5 and Reaktor 5, but Guitar Rig is not there.  Doesn't Guitar Rig have any library and sounds?
    I only bought Guitar Rig to get different types of guitar sounds.
    Guitar Rig is in the correct folder, named .components. When I try to rescan Guitar Rig is listed as Guitar Rig 5 FX and Guitar Rig 5 MFX. Still can't find Guitar Rig in Logic Pro.
    I'm able to open Guitar Rig 5 as a stand alone, but not able to play any sounds. I don't play guitar, I only have a MIDI-keyboard.
    Have Logic Pro 9.

    No.. GR5 is a Guitar Amp emulator... You can take an electric guitar instrument like those found in Logic Pro's instrument plugins.. and then put GR5 in an effect slot and select various different effect presets to create the sound of different guitar sounds.. like Heavy Metal or Blues guitars.. or emulations of sounds from famous guitar solos....
    You still have to play your keyboard to 'play' the guitar but with careful practise you can get pretty authentic sounding guitars to add to your songs....
    I made a quick demo a while ago using some of the guitar instrument presets in LPX along with the effects created in GR5

    • What are the most important concepts/features a new
    user has to understand to get started with Logic?
    Logic is different that other DAW's. Logic's way of doing things may seem real strange to someone who came from using another program. as I said before, spend more time on things that are only found in Logic, like the environment. It really frightens some people.
    Many of the questions here in this forum are midi related. people seem to be having a real hard time making midi work in Logic. The manual could be more detailed in explaining midi communication and how the environment is the heart of all of this
    • By what method do you usually learn a new

    online help that you consider to be good models for
    the Logic Pro manual and onscreen help?
    No, logic's manual is as good as most others.
    • What do you think is the most difficult
    feature/concept to grasp in Logic Pro?
    For me it was the transform window, it took me a while to get the hang of it. none of the other programs I worked in had anything quite like it.
    • What's the most frustrating experience you've had
    with the Logic Pro documentation?
    there are a few errors, so it is frustrating when you are following the manual but not achieving your goal. For example, page 112 says:
    There are two possible locations for user icons:
    The ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Logic Resources/Icons folder can contain icons which are only valid for the particular user (~ is the user name). If you save your icons in the root directory—/Library/Application Support/Logic/Logic Resources/Icons—the icons are valid for all users. If icons with identical numbers exist in both folders, the icons found in the user folder have priority.
    But this is not the case, they actually go in /Library/Application Support/Logic/images/Icons
    there was a couple other mistakes like this too, but i can't remember right now
    • Are there any other methods of delivery or media
    you think we should explore?
    If you wanted to get into doing video tutorial, that would be cool. there is a web site called atomic learning http://www.atomiclearning.com/ they have quicktime video tutorials for a ton of different software applications, some apple, and for a flat fee of 79.99 for a year you can spend as much time as you like learning all of the software applications. I may sign up to learn Web design, and maybe final cut pro. Apple could do something like that for all of the apple software and do it much better I would think, and you guys would make a fortune. well I guess not compared to the fortune you are already making
