Two Songs Open at Once? Nightmare.

Don't try it. Trust me on this if you want to maintain your sanity.
When you try to open a second song, an alert comes up saying "not recommended unless you're copying parts between two songs" (or something to that effect). Well, they're not wrong. If you want -- or need -- to attempt this, be aware that if you do something like open a separate event list window in the second song to examine the contents of a region, and then you close that window, Logic will switch you to the other song! If you have lots of EXS instruments in each song, Logic will re-load all of the samples in the first song before you can click on the second song and get back to it.
I'd hate to ask anyone to confirm this behavior because I don't want to feel responsible for wasting your time...

frankly, logic could seriously use an 'import session data' style function, like in protools. this would make it easy and logical to merge whatever kinds of tracks or instruments or whatever you like into different projects. it would also put an end once and for all to this ridiculous archaic 'technique' of having to open two songs and laboriously copy/paste things between them, as if it were microsoft word.
I've been longing for a feature like this for a long time.. even more so now as I'm working collaboratively on film scores, it would be fantastic to be able to open the logic song for the cue in question, work on it and add whatever parts I want be they audio tracks, midi parts with software instruments - whatever - and then just import what I've added back to the master logic project which the other composer has also been working on concurrently. currently the only way to do this without wanting to kill yourself is to bounce audio and be done with it... which kind of creates a dead end to the development process.
have already written to logic feedback on this. go ahead and ask for the same!

  • Can a PDF file in landscape mode have two pages open at once

    I notice when I use ibooks to read a pdf document on my ipad that in normal mode it woks just like a book with one page open, but when I turn to landscape mode, the document just greatly reduces in size, and centers on the screen, where as a book opens two pages side by side, that still turn like a normal book. Is there any way or app that will allow a PDF document to act like a book does in landscape mode, where two pages are open at once side by side and still a decent size. I know it will have to be smaller than it would be in regular mode, but a book works great in Landscape mode.

    Get a free DropBox account.
    Drag the files into DropBox and you can get a link to send to your friend to download.
    Another option with DropBox is to use a Shared folder. If you share files a lot with your friend, setup a Shared folder and everything in the folder will be shared. Obviously they also need to setup a free DropBox account (works on Windows). Just keep the folder size under the 2GB free limit.
    For the future... OS X Yosemite Mail coming this fall, will offer a way to share files like DropBox.
    Mail Drop allows you to attach large files via iCloud.
    Attachments can be up to 5GB in size. -new feature in OS X 10.10 Yosemite Mail

  • How to have two documents open at once?

    Hi all,
    How do you have two open documents at once?  For example, let's say I have two English essays due tomorrow that I've already worked on.  Is there any way to open both documents and work on them simultaneously?  Right now I can only work on one.  Thanks!

    Hi Matt,
    You can open more than document. Drag a document window by one edge or corner to resize if necessary, then drag the whole window by its title bar to one side of the screen. You should now be able to see the other document. Move that window beside the first.
    You can switch between them by clicking on the one you want to be active.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • IDVD- I need two windows opened at once...is that possible?

    I am working on two separate IDVD projects. I would like to have two windows in IDVD opened at the same time. When I open the first project it shows in on my screen, then I go to file to open a new one and the first project is overridden. Is this not an option?

    You'd be better off posting this in the iDVD program forum where you'd get readers who have actually used iDVD rather than the Tiger OS forum.

  • Unable to open two PDF's at once in Acrobat Reader 9.1.1

    Hello:
    We are having problems at the company I work at when trying to two PDF's at once.   When the second one is opened, it reboots the computer.  There are no errors showing in Event Viewer.  There are no firewalls that would be causing this issue.

    Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...

  • Can you open two seperate apps at once?

    Can you have two separate apps open at once?

    Yes and no. When you open other apps they are all still open in the back ground. You can quickly access them by double tapping the home button to display the multi tasking bar. Also you can quickly access the last used app by swiping with four fingers from right to left or accessing the multi tasking bar by doing a four finger swipe upwards.

  • Split personality - iTunes playing two songs at once

    I wanted to select song A at the end of song Z but what happened was two songs began playing: the one 'next in shuffle' mode and the one I clicked on.
    This looks like a problem with the application handling user input during automated functions.

  • 2 Projects open at once... WHY IS LOGIC 8 SO UNSTABLE?!!

    Why is Logic 8 sooooo... slow & unstable with two projects opened at the same time? I know Core Audio can be disabled to speed things up & improve stability, but often the things you want to copy from one project to another involve Core Audio (EXS, Channel Strip settings etc). (I also know that you can save & re-load settings, but often you need both projects open to visually identify what needs saving or copying)...
    The problem it seems, is every time you switch between a project, it insists on re-loading audio files & samples - surely with the amount of Ram most modern computers have Logic 8 should be able to handle both project's assets at the same time? Alternatively can't programmers come up with a "Disable Audio File Load" command instead disabling Core Audio?
    This really is an essential part of modern production - something Logic 7 used to handle without breaking into a sweat - what's your problem Logic 8?

    Yes, when you move between the two songs, Logic will insist on reloading all it's samples, plug-ins etc. That is why you want dis-able the audio core. I've also found dragging a track between two songs, will sometimes cause Logic to crash.
    My work-a-round is this. I make extensive use of Apple's 'Grab' application. Open the song you want to copy from. I take pictures of arrangements, close up, zoom outs, etc. to get overall view of song and detail. You might take pics of the virtual instruments faceplate (so I can see patch). Use 'save performance' for each track you want to copy from. Give names like 'song21-bass' etc. You can also use 'save channel strip setting as' - but 'performance' is more complete. Now also export the midi for that track, and possibly audio, if you're going to use same patch in new song.
    When you've done that. Close song completely and open new song. Use the pictures you took for reference. To create your virtual instrument tracks, create an instrument track and look under setting. all your new 'performance' instruments will be there. Click on one to open it. Now import the corresponding MIDI track that you exported for this earlier.
    Once you've done this a few times, it's a lot faster than dragging tracks between two songs, waiting for core audio reload, and hoping it doesn't crash.

  • Is there any way to have two garagebands open at the same time?

    I'm remixing a NIN song, and I need to have two garagebands open at the same time, is this possible? If so, please help!!

    it is possible, but you'd be on your own if there's a prob, and you can't copy and paste between them if that's what you're trying to do

  • I bought two songs on itunes and it dosen't show up on my ipod nano!

    I got a new computer (windows 8) and I downloaded Itunes. I got all my songs form my old computer and put it on my new one. A few weeks later I bought two songs. I had my ipod plugged in when I downloaded the songs. It will not show up on my ipod nano but on itunes it tells me I bought my two songs. Help!
    P.S: My ipod nano is not new. I had it for a year. I never had this issue before. Also there is 7.03 GB Free.

    You need to look here for purchased items:
    Open the iTunes Store, under Quick Links on the right side of the window, click on Purchased>Music>Songs>Not on this Computer.
    Cheers,

  • Multiple accoridon panels open at once.

  • Firefox freezes for up to a minute when I have two tabs open and running a video and a flash game. Why?

    Firefox freezes for up to a minute when I have two tabs open, one playing a YouTube video, the other with a flash game running, and the screen shows the contents of both tabs, one superimposed on the other. If I have other tabs open, they also appear as visual garbage on the same screen. After the freeze, everything semi-works, starting and stopping, with long frozen hangs.The frequency of this problem is increasing and greatly reduces Firefox's operating capacity. I am using Firefox 5.0 on a Windows Vista desktop made by Hewlett-Packard. I have cleared the caches and the problem persists, and I can't find any online help to explain why this is happening. I don't recall it happening with a previous version of Firefox.

    Hello jesterabk, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.
