Triggering loops in sequence in logic studio 9

I've been wanting to trigger a sequence of different sounds/loops in logic using just a single pad for playing live.
Is there a way of programming with Exs24 or Ultrabeat or otherwise a bunch of sounds so that once one is played the next time the pad is hit the next loop/soundfile loads in and is triggered and so on.
Hope I'm explaining things well enough.
thanks in advance

You can explore Touch Tracks to trigger regions and loop them
Yes it is a good idea JG - I was thinking the same as you at first but reading the second condition of the OP "the next time the pad is hit the next loop/soundfile loads in and is triggered and so on" so it will not be possible using Touch Tracks only ( probably with some additional environment gear ). The other condition is that he uses one and same note as a triggering pad, while using Touch Tracks you need to map each midi region or event to different triggering note etc. The other inconvenience of the Touch Tracks is that Logic must run...
My tool is a small step sequencer where you use same pad/note as a trigger. Each time you hit the trigger the step sequencer moves to the next step i.e next note sample etc does not matter if Logic is running or not. Probably you must try it and see what the difference between it and the Touch Tracks.
Hope see.

  • Installing logic studio 9, soundtrack pro and loops utility greyed out

    Hi,
    I'm trying to reinstal logic studio 9 and on the screen where you select and deselect the instal options soundtrack pro (and therefore compressor) are labelled as skip and greyed out not allowing select. The same is true for the apple loops utility. I'm pretty sure i removed all the files of previous instal. Anyone help?

    nevermind i found this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/10690183#10690183

  • Can't see Jam Pack Loops in Logic Studio Browser

    I have searched many other forums but can't find the same problem. Usually it relates to a separate disk for loops.
    I have Garageband and 4 Jam packs installed on my computer (Dual G5 latest OSX up to date). Jam pack 1, Rhythm Section, Symphony Orchestra and something else... anyway I purchased Logic Studio (8) and installed that. During installation I noticed that it detected that I already had some of the Jam Pack loops on my drive so they were "unchecked" automatically and therefore didn't install. Now when I look in the loop browser only the Jam Packs that Logic did install are viewable in my loop browser. Yet the other jam packs are indeed viewable in Garageband. All of this is installed on a single internal drive that is the system drive (500GB) by the way. So I dragged the Jam Pack folders to the logic loop browser and it appeared to be adding the loops, but they are still not visible there.
    Also, there is no dialogue box that appears to ask if I want to copy them or leave in current location as many other users have said it should ask. maybe that's because it's all on one drive though.
    The other concern is that I wonder if the software instruments that come with the jam packs would be installed/available in Logic? Surely not, if I am just adding the loops to the browser. How do I ensure that I have access to all of the loops and all of the software instruments?
    Can anyone please help with this, it would be much appreciated.

    Hi Jaffles,
    The best thing to doo is go to the various "Apple Loops Index" folders, remove all the index files that are in there and then reindex your loops by dragging them into the loop Browser. The index files will then be rebuilt.
    regards, Erik.

  • Manually Index Apple Loops in Logic Studio?

    I've been using Puremagnetik (www.puremagnetik.com) Apple loops for quite a while now and they all worked fine until I installed Logic Studio. Now the browser doesn't see them. Is there a way manually "force" index the Apple Loop Browser? I remember in Logic 7 there was a way to do this, but I don't see it here.

    yes, you can use these freely.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 Apple Loops, Jam Packs and Logic express 8 installation?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    I've currently use Final Cut Studio 2 +Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2+ application with all included Apple Loops.
    I own several Jam Pack Apple Loops packages (with a less than impressive integration with Garage Band for older one).
    I purchased Logic Express 8 pro today.
    Is there more Apple Loops files included with Logic express 8 than with Soundtrack Pro 2?
    What is the best way to install Logic express 8 Apple Loops to avoid duplicate loops files?
    Thank You.
    Michel Boissonneault

    Well, the installation was very simple, no duplicate files and tight integration of GarageBand loops and JamPacks.

  • Uograde to Logic Studio just for Sculpture?

    I'm really happy with Logic Express, and have added a lot of multi sampled libraries for the EXS24. But
    I do love physical modelling syntheszers because they can emulate acoustic plucked instruments really well, and I've heard that Sculpture is a physical modelling synth. But surprisingly there are no videos about this synth on youtube.
    So, is it a good idea to upgrade to Logic Studio just to get Sculpture? If not, should I get Applied Acoustic Studio's (physical modelling synth)"String Studio VS-1, instead?

    AAS String Studio is indeed a great Plug In but it sounds nothing like Sculpture and isn't as versatile. String Studio can create very special sounds as well as bread&butter stuff, the fretless basses sound great, the guitars not so much and you can get some incredible experimental sounds and pads out of it as well but it has more limited modulation and editing capabilities than Sculpture.
    In Sculpture you can sidechain an Audio Input to trigger/disturb the string yielding to incredible results like rythmical textures (if you e.g. use a drumlooop/sequencer as sidechain Input) which you can't achieve with String Studio. Also you can record Midi controller data and turn that into a sequenced loop which is another fantastic feature of Sculpture. The characteristic of the plucked string can be anything between nylon, metal, glass or wood, abusing the parameters let's you create instruments you've never heard of. Also the morphing feature is great where you can dynamically morph between different aspects of a sound all synced to the clock of your DAW. The Jitter LFO´s are very useful too and the Modulation matrix as a whole is very well developed.
    So I would say yes, upgrade to L8 (there are many other reasons for that by the way) and you'll be a happy musician/producer.

  • What's the best way to (re)install Logic Studio? Need Help.

    I bought Logic Studio a few months ago and installed it on my new MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz with 2G Ram, 160G hard drive @ 7200 rpm. Being new to Logic, at install, I just put all 40+ gigs of content on the computer. After a while I considered putting the Apple Loops (roughly 12gigs) onto an external hard drive to save space on my computer, just to see if it would work, then consider moving more content over later. After doing this the Logic application couldn't find the Apple Loops, and I couldn't find a way to help it see the new path, so my Apple Loops were essentially rendered useless (since I had already deleted them from the computer). So I stopped right there, and haven't done anything else. Just worked with Logic without using Loops, which I have to say is still an incredible program.
    What also seemed strange was this: In moving the Apple Loops, the available disk space on the computer didn't seem to change much. It went down a few gigs, but not the 12 or so I was expecting. Not sure why that is. It seems like Logic and all the content is actually taking up around 50 gigs or so on my computer (and the Apple Loops are supposedly gone or not available). What is that about?
    Feeling like I had really fouled things up, I called Apple Care. They said that the content of Logic is stored in many places in the computer's libraries and system folders, but it was really confusing trying to locate all of it, because the info they sent was from Logic 7 and older versions of GarageBand. I guess Logic 8 is too new for them to have anything on it. There is no uninstall for Logic Studio. But they strongly recommended that I perform an Erase and Install, and then re-install all my software including Logic, and then assign the hard drive I wanted the content in. That would open up a lot of the computer's hard drive space, they said. It seemed like an extreme measure to take for such a small blunder, and I haven't tried it yet, but will if it's the best option.
    If I do this, is running Logic content (i.e. Loops, Impulse Responses, Jam Packs, etc.) from an external hard drive (and the one I have to use is 5400rpm--is that too slow or am I getting too picky?) the best way to go, or should I have all Logic material coming from the same machine? How do I get some of my hard drive space back?
    Ugh.
    Has anyone out there experienced this too? Is there anything documented about where the content is stored for Logic Studio? Is Erase and Install really the best thing to do in this situation?
    So many questions...
    Thanks.

    Hey Blue,
    Let me see if I can help you a bit.
    Logic Studio has 28+ gb of loops. Almost 23 for STP and 6 for the Jam Packs, etc. They should be located in /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple (that's the default install loc.). Copy them to an external drive and then delete them from your main drive. Go to /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Indexes and delete those text files. Now go to /Library/Preferences/Soundtrack Pro and delete those text files, too (more Loop Indexes).
    Now open Logic Pro and it will say 'No Apple Loops found'. Click 'OK' and then open your Loop Browser. Drag all the Jam Pack folders, STP folder, etc. that you want to use onto the Loop Browser. Logic will ask you if you want to 'Copy to Loops Folder' or 'Current Location'. Choose 'Current Location'. Logic will now index the loop folders.
    NOTE: You can change the names of the folders to suit your liking. For example: I added the 2, 3, 4, 5 after the Jam Pack names to make it look smoother on the popup menu and changed iLife Sound Effects to Sound Effects - iLife and Apple Loops for STP to STP. Now the Jam Packs 1-5 come up first on the popup menu and the FX stay at the bottom. I likee!!
    Now, if you like you can take your EXS Factory Samples and Ultrabeat Samples, 3.35 & .889 gb respectively, and copy them to an external drive. I have mine in the same place as my Jam Packs, etc. You can find these files in /Library/Application Support/Logic. Toss out the originals and put ALIASES from the external drive back into the /Lib/App Sup/Logic folder.
    Also, if you open STP and click the Search tab in the right pane you will see a button that says 'Setup' next to it. Click that and you can use the checkboxes in the window to activate/deactivate any of the loop folders available.
    A clean install is the best IMO if you have a little time because a) you DO NOT have to install GB at all (that saves the .aif file size - Logic Studio uses .caf files at half the size of the originals) b) Logic Studio will install the extra GB or Logic 7 content if you need it at it's reduced size. It will basically get rid of all the old clutter that you do not need. Only install what JP's you want and move the bigger stuff to an external.
    Rock up Logic and it should all be in place. That procedure saved me 32.5 gb on my main drive.
    NOTE #2: You have another 12 gb (if you installed all Jam Packs) that reside in the /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Sampler. These are the Jam Pack Instruments & Sampler files for World, Symphony, etc. They cannot be moved from the startup HD (as far as I can tell). So keep that in mind if you don't want a certain JP.
    Hope that helps,
    Dave

  • Moving Logic Studio 9 to an external drive

    My internal HDD is almost full and I need to move some of my data to an external drive before it fills up completely.
    Logic Studio and all the samples, loops etc strike me as a good candidate but I wish I had thought about this before I installed it. Generally Mac apps are very easy to uninstall but Logic is so vast that dragging the app to the Trash is not going to recover the 50GB of disk space.
    I presume the easiest way to do this would be to uninstall Logic Studio, the Jam Packs, Audio Content etc and then reinstall choosing the external HDD as the target. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do this - can anyone help me or point me in the direction of some instructions please?
    Thanks in advance.

    Just drag your Jam Packs and Apple Loops to an external drive. After doing so reindex the Library by dragging the folders from your external into the Library tab. Then delete the originals from your system drive.

  • Unable to Install Logic Studio

    I am trying to install Logic Studio and am failing every time.
    I have a Powerbook G4 1.5 Ghz with 1.25 mb Ram running OSX 10.4.10
    I am able to start the installation, choose the location of the install, and select which components I'd like to install. I have decided to limit the install to only Logic Pro and leave out all the other programs as my harddrive doesn't have the space.
    So according to that, only two items are checked. Logic Pro, and Apple Loops Utility under Tools. It's telling me that it requires 5.7 GB harddrive space, which I have. I click upgrade and type in my password. It installs Logic Pro, installs Logic Node, and when it tries to move on to Logic Utility (or something like that, the screen changes too quickly) it goes to 3% and gives me an error.
    Then it tells me to "please try installing again"
    I've tried installing logic node separately but it still doesn't work.
    What am I doing wrong? Normally I'm ok with computers, but i guess only on PC's. Macs are a new world to me.
    I just realized I only have Garageband 2. Is it because I don't have Garageband 8?

    Maybe this is inapropriate but I once got very lucky by just cleaning the DVD which was full of finger prints, After I cleaned it...It worked.
    Like must of us I have a lot of experience being frustrated, even the most knowlegable among us get frustrated at time.
    What I would do is proceed in a mechanical way step by step (computers hate this)
    1. Clean DVD,
    2. Seat down and read the install procedure.
    3. Disk Utility, Startup disk>Verify and Repair disk permission
    2. Trash Logic Pro 8, Sound Track Pro, Main Stage and Garage Band (Save GarageBand Files
    somewhere else if you need too)
    3. Go toFinder > Empty Trash
    4. re-install The absolute minimum (No Node dont need this yet) (Maybe you're forced to it I dont
    remember) but if you have the choice the answer is always NO
    5. Proceed slowly reading carefully all instructions.
    6. Repeat 1-5. If this dont work Maybe you have deficient DVD's it Happen (It happen to me)
    Honestly Your system seams to be bare bone minimum to run Logic Pro 8. Maybe Logic has out grow it.
    Best of luck

  • Why wont my Logic Studio installer fully install?

    i had manually uninstalled logic studio months ago.. now that i have an external hd im installing it again but it wont install many of the other components.. they are grayed out and uncheckable (soundtrack pro, compressor, apple loops, and many more)... i need help so that i can have logic studio on my mac and the additional content on my external hd...
    thanks in advance!

    Although not offically supported, there is a workaround people have been using to get Logic 8 to work on Lion. All you need to do is highlight the Logic 8 app in finder, right-click, select "Show Package Contents", double click on the "Contents" folder and inside of this folder is a folder that's labled "MacOs." If you double-click on the "Logic Pro" file inside, Logic 8 will open. You might be able to make an alias of this file to cut out the other steps, but I haven't tried it.
    This works for people who already had Logic 8 installed and upgraded to Lion.

    And now i am trying to reinstall, but this time Installation is not asking me Audio Content 1, 2 and 3
    And also after Jam Pack 1, instead of continuing to 2 and 3, is asking to put install disk , and after that point installation getting failed again .

    Did anyone experienced that ?
    I will be very happy if someone can assist on me this . Since 5 hours i am trying to setup this thing .
    Thanks a lot

    it is very frustrating to see such an installation problem happening from a "professional" called DAW .
    I am actually a Protools user , and i have never had this type of complications .
    I mean come on, i am just trying to install the thing .
    On a new system, on a new computer and from an original purchase .
    I believe i have enough computer knowledge to instal a simple software .
    But i am spending almost 10 hours since yesterday to install Logic .
    Instead of making designer boxes or giving fancy advertisements, i am inviting Apple Engineers to create proper working software .
    Especially to see a professional audio software like Logic in this epic fall, is very very bad .
    I mean you can say i am problematic and don't know how to instal a simple software, but than please write to google, Logic installation problems , and you will see thousands of issues .
    Whatever i am writing here not against to the people who are replying and want to help , i just want Apple to read this .
    Ah , i am sure Apple won't put attention on it , but doesn't matter .
    You just lost 1 customer for Logic
    I am erasing this thing now from my computer and continue with Protools as the way i was doing .
    Sorry if i am bitter, but this is not acceptable .

  • Installing and Using Logic Studio and Final Cut Studio 2 On the Same iMac

    In March of this year, I switched from being a long-time user of PC's to a 24 in. 2.4 GHZ iMac. In late May I purchased Final Cut Studio 2 and Aperture and have greatly enjoyed using both of these applications on my iMac. Both run with no problems under Leopard which I installed shortly after it came out. I am now considering the purchase of Logic Studio since I have enjoyed midi sequencing and audio editing for years on my PC's but wish now to do this on my iMac.
    I note that two of the applications included in Logic Studio (Soundtrack Pro 2 and Compressor 3) are a part of the Final Cut Studio 2 suite of programs that I already have installed on my iMac. How will Logic Studio handle this issue when I run the install of that software, i.e. will it be aware that I already have Soundtrack Pro 2 and Compressor 3 and just have those install options grayed out or will it overwrite my FCS2 installation of those two applications? Are there other issues or conflicts between Aperture or Final Cut Studio 2 applications and Logic Studio that I should know before installing Logic Studio?
    Thank you very much in advance for responding, and I look forward to reading this forum from this point onward.

    Thanks again for your prompt responses, blayzay. I look forward to getting and installing Logic Studio. If anyone has any precautions on using it with FCS2 or with Leopard, please add a comment to this thread.

  • What's the difference between Logic Studio 8 & 9?

    is it me or is the ONLY difference between Logic Studio 8 & 9 the fact the LS9 can run in 64-bit mode?
    I've owned Logic Studio 8 since about a year after it came out. About a year ago I got a Pro that's got Snow Leopard on it, so I installed LS8 on it. My Pro is running in 64-bit mode, but LS8 only runs in 32-bit mode, so I thought I'd "Upgrade" & buy Logic Studio 9 a couple of days ago. I just installed it yesterday & ran it for the first time today. I don't see ANY differce at all between 8 & 9 EXCEPT that Logic Pro & Main Stage both have a 64-bit mode. ALL of the synths & their presets are the same. All of the loops & jam packs look the same. Did I just pay all that $$$ just to get a 64-bit version of what I already had?
    I've tried looking on this site & everything I find is about Logic Pro X. Is there anyone out there that knows enough about this to tell me for sure what the real differences are between Logic Studio 8 & 9?

    Check Wikipedia - of course there are more differences:
    Logic Pro 9
    On July 23, 2009, Logic Pro 9 was announced. A major new feature included "Flex Time", Apple's take on "elastic" audio, which allows audio to be quantized.[5] A version of the pedalboard from GarageBand was included, together with a new virtual guitar amplifier where the modeled components could be combined in different ways. There were also a number of improvements to audio editing, fulfilled user requests such as "bounce in place" and selective track and channel strip import, as well as an expanded content library including one more Jam Pack. Some of the bundled software, including MainStage 2 and Soundtrack Pro 3, was also improved. Logic Pro 9 is Universal Binary, although not officially supported for use on PowerPC computers.[6] SoundDiver, which had been quietly bundled with previous versions, was dropped, eliminating support for arguably the world's most popular synthesizer editor/librarian. As Apple has bundled so many software instruments with Logic, it is not likely that we'll see the return of integration with external synthesizer hardware to the Logic platform.[citation needed]
    On January 12, 2010, Apple released Logic Pro 9.1, an Intel only release, thereby officially discontinuing Logic for the PowerPC platform. Logic Pro 9.1 has the option of running in 64 bit mode, which allows the application to address more memory than in the past. Says Apple "With 64-bit mode, the application memory is not limited to 4GB as with 32-bit applications, so there is essentially no practical limit by today's standards.". Third party plug-ins that are 32 bit are still compatible, but will run from a 'wrapper' inside Logic Pro itself.
    On December 9, 2011, Apple announced that Logic Pro Studio 9 would no longer be available on DVD, and would only be sold via the Mac App Store. The price was reduced from $499 to $199.99 for the Logic Pro app, and $29.99 for MainStage. The download was just over 400mb, and 19gb of optional loops were available as in-app downloads.[7]

  • Difference between Logic Pro 9 and Logic Studio?

    I have garage band and I notice that the instruments available are extremely limited, so I am looking to upgrade solely for the idea of getting more instruments and more features. Does the app store Logic Pro 9 have the extensive amount of official instruments to download for free? Or are there additional costs if you are looking to purchase the instruments for the app store logic 9?
    I know that the studio version has mainstage, compressor and other programs etc, but what I am looking to find out is if there is a difference between what instruments, resources and materials found in the $210 Logic 9 and the Logic Studio version that you can't download for free from inside Logic 9?
    Thanks

    The instruments themselves are embedded within the Logic application, with the exception of the sample libraries for the EXS24 and Ultrabeat. All of the content, including the various Jampacks and sample libraries are available to download

    No.... free

    The "Studio" DVD's include the now defunct Soundtrack Pro, which had around 20G of loops, beds and sound FX. Some of that material is now available for Final Cut X.
    A few utility programs are also missing (Waveburner etc).
