Unlocking protected regions-LE 8

Greetings,
I'm running Logic Express 8.0.2 on an iMac Intel I5 quad (Snow Leopard 10.6.8), and I've encountered an issue that I've never faced before.
I punched in some guitar spots using autopunch at a band members house (where we were tracking for the day), saved my work, broke down my gear, reset my gear at my place, went to back up my work when I noticed that my punch spots were off by a few beats, overlapping the existing audio on the main track at the starting point and leaving a blank gap at the ending point until the original track kicked back in. I figured it would be an easy fix-drag the punch take region to its appropriate spot, save, and be done.
The kicker is, I cannot drag the audio because it is locked in the audio bin. Again, no biggie, unlock the audio, move into place, and be on my way.
I cannot unlock this take, or any of my takes in the five songs I am working on, thus leaving me unable to drag my punch take regions back to their intended spots. The "click on the lock incon to unprotect" per the user manual does nothing.
Any ideas on how to unlock my takes so they can be moved or edited? Is there a master setting I am missing? I would rather not re-cut these entire guitar tracks for what should be in theory a very quick and easy fix.
Other possible pertinent info: The soundcard/interface I am using is the Presonus FP10, and everything-including the computer and interface-is going through a Furman M-8X2 power conditioner.
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Nevermind, I found a workaround that works for me, and I wanted to share.
I took the comp track which included the locked out of place punch in regions (see above post), and exported it to a new track. I did this by clicking the arrow at the very end of the comp track. This made an exact duplicate of the comp track but it split the punch in spots on the same track The punch in regions (now split regions on the same track) can then be moved back into their proper place and crossfades were automatically added.
The disadvantage: you lose the comp editing feature as it condenses the takes down to one split track as opposed to multiple takes of the same track. This was not an issue for me as the punch ins were replacing errors, but for those who like to do multiple takes to compare, contrast, and comp (without the assumption of errors), I can see how that would be a major problem.  
Maybe this can help anyone who's having similar problems.

  • Can't unlock audio regions

    Every time I record audio, Logic automatically locks the region. I try to go to the Audio Bin Window and click the padlock but this does nothing - the region stays locked. If I drag a locked region out of the audio bin into the Arrange window it creates a duplicate region that is then unlocked, but this is more than unhelpful because I've made a series of comps by this time that would be difficult to recreate. Is this a glitch or is there something I'm not doing right?
    According to the manual unlocking a region is as simple as clicking the padlock in the Audio Bin Window - they mention NO caveats!

    Hi
    When recording Takes, the individual 'elements' of the Comp are indeed locked.
    Try Flattening the Comp using the menu on the right-hand side of the Take Folder.

  • Unable to unlock particular region

    Hi Experts ,
    I want to unlock partivular region,but all regions are unlocked when I select particular region.
    Like if 10 rows are containd month end data and locked but when I unlock last 10th row only but all rows are unlocked like group is working here,I don't want to unlock  other data,please suggest me.
    Example : Parent and child option to choose like X,X1,X2,X3 ,  how to set Modify work status and if we lock the data in all and need to unlock only one (X3).
    Thankyou
    Regards
    Y

    Hi,
    When you change your work status, it will ask you to select the entity, category and the time. This combination determines the data region. Now, there is another check box to apply the work status to the children as well. This means that if you select X as entity and if you select the checkbox, then the work status will be applied to all its children. So, you need to be careful with this. If you want only X3, then select only X3 in the entity.
    Hope this helps.

    I get the same error when using Aldec's RivieraPro. I tried this with Vivado 2015.1 and 2015.2. Is this a known issue?
    Thank you!

    Hi 
    I doubt that you are not using the correct set of IP files for simulation.
    Use below commands to generate scripts which can be used in modelsim.
    set_property TARGET_SIMULATOR Modelsim [current_project]
    launch_simulation -scripts_only -of_objects [get_files ip_name.xci]
    or you can use the below command too
    get_files -compile_order sources -used_in simulation -of_objects [get_files <ip_name>.xci]
    Thanks,

  • Unlocking protected doucument on iPad

    How do I unlock a protected document on the iPad using Adobe Reader v10.3? Am I doing something wrong? THe document is a school text book and the program is not allowing me to enter the unlock infromation.

    It is likely that this textbook DRM requires functionality from the desktop version of Adobe Reader that is not available in our iOS version of Adobe Reader.

  • How to unlock audio regions in audio bin window?

    I cannot get some of my audio regions to unlock in the audio bin window. Page 292 of the manual explains that regions can be locked in the audio bin window to prevent unwanted alterations to start point, end point or anchor position. But when I open the audio bin window, some of the regions will not unlock. I am in the proper place, the audio bin window--I know you cannot unlock regions in the bin without opening the region in the audio bin window. Can anyone explain why some regions won't unlock? Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply, but SMPTE lock seems to have no bearing on it. SMPTE is not locked, but the audio region still won't unlock in the audio bin window. These are audio regions I'm working with, not loops. I've been trying to get an answer to this for a long time. Hopefully something will come along.

  • How do I unlock protected music files that I purchased?

  • IPad Acrobat DC  DRM eBook University Unable to Unlock Protected PDF: other reader works

    This post was updated on May 2:Added DRM software name and new attempt to open store the ebook in acrobat cloud and open from there.
    Repeatable Yes I have tried on multiple eBooks
    DRM software: protectedpdf from Vitrium
    Acrobat DC Reader (same behavior on the old Acrobat reader for iPAD)
       iPAD2
       iOS 8.3
    I was hopeful this new version of PDF reader would allow me to open eBooks from my university. No such luck.  It's not the university PDF because PDFReaderPro across iOS types opens the Vitrium powerpdf protected  ebook's just fine.
    Behavior: Unable to enter in user name and password. Fields are viewable, but I'm unable to enter data in either field.
    ...So I send it (image below ) to PDFReader Pro and the document opens after I type in my university username and password.
    Adobe.  Why can a 3rd party open a DRM PDF file, but not Adobe?
    PS, works fine on the Desktop using Acrobat readers. It is Not the file.

    Hi,
    Currently, Adobe Reader for iOS disallows any changes (e.g. adding annotations, filling out text fields) to protected or encrypted PDF documents.
    It is one of the known limitations in Adobe Reader mobile products (for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone).
    You can use the Feature Request form.  The Product Management team will take your request into consideration for a future release of Adobe Reader for iOS.
    Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Satellite 2410 unlocking DVD region?

    Hi a friend of mine has a Toshiba Satellite 2410 and a Mat****a DVD-RW combo drive. Unfortunately the drive is locked to region 1 and he needs region 2 but Windows wont allow any more changes. Is there any official or unofficial way to fix or force this drive to play region 2 DVDs??
    cheers,
    Richard S.

    Hi
    Well, as far as I know on the official way you can change the region settings 5 times.
    Furthermore you can check some other topics in the forum.

  • Protecting regions

    I am currently mixing 10 songs. Because logic lacks an easy way to apply global changes in a mix to a group of related songs, I have all of the tracks for all 10 songs loaded into a single logic "song" file. The songs appear in the arrange window consecutively with about 10 seconds of silence in between songs.
    Working this way is great for when I make small tweaks to the fx or mix of a particular track, as my changes instantaneously affect all songs.
    The problem is when I am mixing an individual song.
    Here's an example: sometimes I will accidentally click the track (selecting all regions from all songs on that track) and then make an adjustment to a region length. Then, I realize later after 50 or so more changes that I messed up all the regions in the other songs.
    QUESTION: How can I make sure that when I am working on one song that the changes I am making will NOT affect the adjacent songs which are all in the same song file. Essentially I am asking how do I limit changes to a certain time interval in the arrange window and prevent changes to regions outside of that time window?
    Alternatively, is there a preference option for giving me a warning when regions I cannot see in the current zoom level will be affected by whatever it is I am about to do?

    "I am currently mixing 10 songs.

The songs appear in the arrange window consecutively with about 10 seconds of silence in between songs."
    Y'know, I would question this working method myself. It's based on an incorrect assumption that Logic "lacks an easy way to apply global changes in a mix". I don't think that's correct at all. There are inserts on the master output object where I can put any effect I want that controls the entire mix.
    Also, if you put each song on a separate track, then the whole selecting regions question goes out the window. With that, you would have both track-level plugins and automation as well as a master output object inserts for overall changes to the entire mix. Typically, you'd want separate EQ and compression for each song anyways. I've done mastering projects for years in Protools that way. You simply solo the song/track you're working on.
    Bounce them down and drag them into Waveburner. In fact, why not just use Waveburner to start with? You can use all your Logic plugins on a track-by-track basis as well as a master effect. Then you can also control the the timing between tracks, etc.
    Why do your mastering on a DAW when you have a mastering application, Waveburner?
    What did I miss?

  • Help! iOS 6 unlocking protected Excel workbooks??

    We have issued iPads and iPhones to our sales team and we use different Excel tools that have password protected sheets (and the entire workbook is password protected as well).  The new iOS 6 has completely bypassed the protection when the Excel document is opened from an email attachment, and it is making all hidden rows and columns visible exposing confidential information to the users!  This is a huge issue for us and we need to find a resolution ASAP! 
    Has anyone else experienced this and is there a solution??

    If an iPad is able to display the contents of a password-protected Excel document without a password being entered, that says more about the lack of security of Excel's password protection than about the iPad. Although the iPad should certainly respect the password protection, I believe that the default password protection in Office does not encrypt anything. Thus, your password protection is a complete sham, causing you to have a false sense of security, since it can be bypassed trivially.
    I believe that Office may offer the capability to encrypt the document, which would truly secure it against prying eyes. How that is done I'm not 100% sure (I haven't used Office in a few years now), and whether an iPad can read an encrypted Excel file I'm not sure.
    Thank your iPad for pointing out to you a serious flaw in the supposed security of Office's password protection!

  • Regions will not unlock

    I am attempting to alter the start point of an audio region by means of a length change from the left corner (I know there are other ways to achieve this, but left corner length change is the method I prefer for several reasons). It doesn't work when the region contains multiple takes. When I open the region in the audio window, it will not allow me to unlock the region. I am in the audio window, not the audio bin. I know I can't unlock regions from the bin, but it should be possible from the audio window. I'd appreciate any info about this. Thanks for reading my post.

    Hi,
    try to change the length of the single audio region in the arrange page. To do this, you must first UN-SELECT all the other regions. Only selec tthe one you are going to edit. IF the region does not have any more file to the left of where it starts on the arrange page, then it will also not be possible to edit to the left.

  • Get Seed and Unlock

    Hi,
    I'm using an ECU board fo test with CAN interface.Since ECU has
    security lock in it i'm trying to unlock the protection(using GET Seed
    and Unlock Protection commands)As Get seed provides the Seed data,for
    computing the Key i'm using a DLL SeedKey1.dll(supplied by our
    customers) and then passing the key value to the Unlock Vi.But during
    course of my execution,program stops at Seedkey1.dll and throws an
    exception mentioning that exception occured at specified node(screen shot of which i have attached)
    The function prototype for Seedkey dll specified is
    unsigned long SEEDKEYAPI ASAP1A_CCP_ComputeKeyFromSeed(
      unsigned char *seed,
      unsigned short sizeSeed,
      unsigned char *key,
      unsigned short maxSizeKey,
      unsigned short *sizeKey);
    The reason i need to unlock is for performing my CCP read and Tuning
    some EEPROM values of ECU.The sequence in which i'm using Get Seed is 1.CCP Open(with timeout)->.CCP Connect->CCP Get Seed
    The attachments for reference which i have provided with this under a folder named  "Files" are
    1.subvi which i'm using for Unlock after CCP Connect
    2.screenshot of error occured when i run my application and try to perform CCP Read.
    3.Seedkey dll which i'm using
    one more additional info which i want to add is that in the Get Seed.vi
    ,i have given Resource input as 1.Is that a valid one if i want to
    perform a CCP Read.
    A reply for this will be really of helpful to me.

    Hi Murali,
    I've checked your VI and found out the reason for the exception in the
    SeedKey1.dll. In your VI you did not provide a data array to take the
    key calculated in the dll. Try the attached VI to calculate the key.
    That should work.

    Hi Murali,
    I have no experience with the DLL you are using, but from the LabVIEW end, I can tell you that exceptions generated in external DLLs are normally due to memory management.  That is, it's likely that the DLL you are calling is throwing an exception because of a memory access violation (null pointer read?), it is out of memory, etc.  You could look at the code with this in mind.
    You may also find this tutorial on Accessing DLLs or Shared Libraries from LabVIEW helpful.
    Good luck!
