Using hyperdraw for automation of Logic instruments

I'm pretty new to Logic and I have not figured one thing out even after browsing through these forums.
I like the drawing mode that hyperdraw offers for automation of synth parameters and such much more than the regular automation drawing.
Hyperdraw seems more like when drawing automation in Reason which I like very much.
If possible at all, how can I locate and draw automation for all the buttons and sliders on the Logic instruments (and VSTs also for that matter) in hyperdraw style?
Thanks

Well, the Hyper Editor is really a MIDI editor, so you can create and edit MIDI data, including Control Change messages (like CC07 for volume or CC01 for modulation for example) - so it is like automation in that respect.
As far as I can see, using track automation is the best option because all the available parameters are there ready to automate as soon as you insert the plug in - perhaps I'm missing the point of what you want to do.

Use hyperdraw vs. automation for mixing?

hi,
have been working on a little 15 min. film score - my first one... all MIDI regions - used ESX24 on everything.
I have strings, and organ - and want those instruments to 'build' (crescendo) in parts...
do I use hyperdraw or automation for volume swells, etc?
I've never mixed before - this is what I'm doing - MIXING.
thanks...

First of all, congratulations on your first score!
I'd highly suggest using automation instead of hyperdraw.
You have a few options here too: you can not only automate individual tracks, but output objects (for, say, grouping all of your strings, guitars, whatever) and you can also automate the master output to do global fade-ins/fade-outs.
The great thing about automation is the ability to overwrite on-the-fly. It's easy to get used to and has the same editing capabilities as hyperdraw (nodes, lines, etc.).
That's my recommendation. Best of luck!

Reg: where used list for the any logical (or) physical files

Hi
Is there any possible way to check the where used list for the any logical (or) physical files (Tcode: FILE)
Please let me know.

if the path is hard coded in the program...
you can use : RPR_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN to scan the system and find out where its hard coded....

Track automation of multi-instrument

dear all,
i have defined a multi-instrument for my access virus,
output is port 1 of my midi-interface (emagic mt4).
everything is ok (in and out of midi data in regions ect.),
but when i try to do some automation of controlers,
the automation data is not transferred to the virus.
also the knobs of the mixer do not move.
if you change to "view track automation" (V command),
you also can adjust the channel from 1-16.
usualy for multi instruments the channels are fixed.
maybe anybody has an idea.
thanks and best regards: martin
ps: using a "regular" instrument (single) makes no
problem at all, the virus gets all controller data as
defined on the automation track...

When using Kontakt as a multitimbral Instr it's better to use the Controller assignments within Kontakt.
Kontakt's definition of how it's setup for automation at the instrument level is different from PLAY, Omnisphere, SampleTank, etc...
I find it easier to setup automation within Logic as a multitrimbral and specifying the number of channels (16 for Kontakt, 9 for Play, 8 for Omnisphere, etc...) and when loading the AU instrument, specify the multiout (16 stereo Kontakt, 9 stereo PLAY, 8 stereo Omnisphere) and automate on the aux outputs of each of the aux channels you create in the mixer window for the channel strip of the instrument in question.
Of course for Kontakt, there's an extra setup you need to do by creating your multi outputs for Kontakt so that Logic can see those, but you can save it as a preset for later use.
If you really need instrument specific automation, it just might be easier to create that instrument as stereo and to "instrument specific" automate knowing that you're just going to affect one loaded instrument.

Using time machine to backup Logic Projects

Hi
I was wondering if it is possible to use time machine to backup my Logic Projects. I have a seperate internal drive that I use to keep all my user data on, like my Logic projects. I want to use time machine to back up these projects onto a external firewire drive.
Can timemachine only backup your systems drive and therefore I would need to have my Logic projects based stored on it?

Yes - time machine can back up any drive. I am using 3 drives: system drive, a USB2 drive for Time machine backups and a firewire 800 drive for Logic Studio projects, instruments, samples, audio, etc. TM backs up my system and FW drives to the USB drive.
Time machine options (in system preferences) allow you to exclude/include drives so you just need to set it to include your second internal drive.
The only thing I'm not sure of is whether this effects the loop browser. Oddly, when I was experimenting with using aliases for Apple loops, Logic actually found the TM backup files when it couldn't locate the original GB loops! After some file moving and index deleting I cleared all loops but now I have duplicate entries again in Logic - possibly due to TM, but I have not verified this.

GR with backflush not for reporting point logic with autom. GR option

Dear Experts,
While doing backflashing though MFBF we are getting following error
"GR with backflush not for reporting point logic with autom. GR option"
We have maintained 5 production version for this material while calling with first production version we are getting the error.
Rate routing & BOM maintanied for the FERT material
Thanks

Did you check the BackFlash option are actuvated in the following places ?
1. In the Rate routing, the backflush indicator is set in the component assignment.-CA22
2. In the material master record, the backflush indicator has the characteristic "Always backflush".-MRP3
3. In the material master record, the backflush indicator has the characteristic "Work center decides", the indicator being set in the work center.-CR21-Basic Data View .
4.Goto-MM02-MRP4 View -Select the PV-Goto Details -Check particularly this production version REM Allowed or not
5.You should use REM-Profile -0004/0003 where RP and Auto GR with RP at last Back Flashing Activated .
6.Check Rate Routing Operation Control Key -Auto GR with indicator Confirmation required

Is it possible to use AirTunes for Logic Pro?

Greetings fellow Logic users =)
I finally got Logic Pro and boy am I impressed! However, there's one question I have that I hope shows promise.. Currently, my monitors are connected to the Airport Express so I could listen to music through AirTunes. Since Logic is now Apple owned, I assumed it would have a similar output setting. However, I cannot find anything in the program that would allow me to stream music through AirTunes so I can mix using my monitors wirelessly. Is this a possibility??
Many thanks =)

AirTunes is a part of iTunes, it's not an audio driver.
But you can use this to stream any audio source to an Airport Express:
http://rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/
I've used it to beam a Logic mix to a PA to check how mixes will sound, works great.
However, there will be too much latency for mixing, due to the buffering involved. As for live playing instruments - forget it.
Connect up your speakers to a proper audio interface for Logic.

Cap locks key only for logic instruments?

Had the misfortune of getting my upgrade to Logic 9 and having to take my synth in for servicing in the same week. So I have to use the Cap Lock's keyboard to play the instruments until I get my synth back. I have a curious problem though. The cap lock's keyboard will play logic instruments but not Zebra 2 or Battery 3. Is this normal?

Maybe you need to change Octave by pressing the numeric keys on your mac keyboard(2) (changes will displayed >(1) below)

I'm new using Logic, i've been using garageband for quite awhile now though but my question is just basic. When i want to record electric guitar while clicking the software option it brings me to alot of guitar sounds that i want to chose. I chose the twangy electric or the distorted strat but i only hear clean sounds. No matter what kind of guitar sound i chose in the library it only produces clean guitar. How can i make it sound like it supposed to? Did i miss something i should do?

This definitely has me stumped as I'm unsure as to why your guitar can be heard, but with none of the channel strips plugins applied to the sound.
On the record enabled channel strip that contains your guitar input, is the "I" button located near the "R" active? Also, if you record your guitar, can you hear the FX applied to it when you play back the recorded track?

If your info is correct you need to first buy Snow Leopard from the Apple on-line store ($20) install and update to 10.6.8 and then buy Lion from the App Store for $20.

Interface using telnet for instrument control

I'm trying to create a GUI front-end program for accessing instruments and equipment on routers. The first step would be to create a menu of telnet sessions that the user can select from. Maybe a pull-down menu that can select any site (router) in our district. I'm not sure how to either create a telnet session or pull-down menu using LabView. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There's various types of pull down menus. There's controls like the menu ring, dialog ring, text ring that you can programatically populate using a property node. You can also create your own run-time menu. There are shipping examples for all of these. Select Help>Find Examples.
The easiest way to implement telnet sessions is to buy the LabVIEW Internet Toolkit. It comes with an example tlenet client. However, you may not need this. VISA supports TCP/IP instruments that you can add and share from MAX. Then, for any instrument that has an instrument driver written using VISA calls, communication is just like using a local GPIB or serial instrument. Utilizing a driver is much easier on the e
nd-users since they don't have to know the command syntax in order to make measurments.

JavaScript for Automation Cannot Use Scripting Addition Commands

Attempting to recreate the example script for Messages called "Speak Events" with the new JavaScript for Automation in Yosemite, I found that it is impossible to use any scripting addition commands. For example:
Messages = Application.currentApplication()
Messages.includeStandardAdditions = true
function messageReceived(m, e) {
Messages.say(m)
I have removed all the other (annoyingly) necessary function overrides for brevity. Similar AppleScript code functions just fine, but this will result in a privilege error because the system wrongly categorizes it as being sent cross-application. Is there any estimate on a bug fix for this?
I've tried everything I can think of to work around this issue, even adding /usr/bin/osascript to the Security & Privacy Accessibility listing ("Allow the apps below to control your computer") which is not possible without editing the SQLite DB.
The documentation included in Script Editor is also woefully inadequate, lacking a readable listing of what exactly is being passed into the handler function. How can I translate an AppleScript line like "received theMessage from theBuddy for theChat with eventDescription" into a reasonable function signature for JavaScript?

It is a big SDK and to learn its features requires a lot of reading. But to start with I guess I should start with "Introduction to SDK".
Since you want to control Acrobat from another application you should consider this under "Interapplication communication". You will be using OLE/COM.

What tools do you use for automating builds?

Hi all Build Engineers,
what systems do you use for automating builds - do you use your own tools, or some opensource project?
If it is something public, which one it is, and what were the reasons to chose it?
We are thinking about using the Hudson system (http://hudson.dev.java.net/) for our developers, but would like to hear from other RE groups about their experiences too.
Thanks,
Karel

Tinderbox is another build monitoring tool. It does not show detailed steps of a build cycle. It only shows the final result : success or failed. But it can display build output for multiple platforms on the same page.
This is how the tinderbox build grid will look --> http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=SeaMonkey
Detail Info -->
http://www.mozilla.org/tinderbox.html
Tinderbox can be connected to Bonsai -->
It is a tool that shows you who checked in what, lets you perform queries on the contents of a CVS archive; get a list of checkins, see what checkins have been made by a whom, or on a given CVS branch, or in a particular time period.

Is there a discount option for someone running Logic 8 who wants to upgrade to 9? I know the price of 9 has been reduced in the App store but there always used to be a discounted upgrade option. Just wondered.

Accessing LCDS Persistence Layer for use in Server-Side Business Logic

Within server-side business logic, I want to be able to get a persisted object from LCDS, manipulate that object, and then use LCDS to persist those changes to the database as well as send those changes to the client.
Is it possible to access LCDS' persistence layer (Hibernate) to be used by server-side business logic?
I have attempted to use DataServiceTransaction.getItem(...). However, for objects that contain a collection of other objects I get this error:
[LCDS] Runtime exception while trying to fetch a property from hibernate: flex.data.DataServiceException: There is no current message broker to return.
When calling DataServiceTransaction.updateItem(...) for objects that contain a collection of other objects, I get this error:
org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException: failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: com.sd.pojo.Book.chapters, no session or session was closed
Also, it appears that DataServiceTransaction.updateItem does NOT update the database?
I have resorted to building my own Hibernate SessionFactory, but that seems unnecessary.
One other piece of information is that I am using the Fiber modeling tool to build and deploy the model to the server. I am generating the Java classes with Fiber and making them available to be used on the server.
Thanks,
Collin

Thanks for the help guys.
I guess what I'm really trying to get straight in my own mind is whether supporting interraction and control of eJB database interraction is still using the same functionality as having a stand alone app interracting with a db.
I'm thinking about; the implications of using eJBs specific query language and the different way in which eJBs use db connections (either for the period of their lifetime or just for the duration of one interaction) compared with a stand alone app, which would maintain a connection to the database(s) while it is open.
Connection pooling and caching of DB objects is often quoted as being a middle tier activity, but what does this mean when all 3 tiers reside on the same machine?
Once again thanks for your comments and advice.
