Using Logic as a LoopStation?

Is there any way, by using some kind of MIDI control foot pedal, that Logic can be used as a loop station (a la BOSS RC-20 or new 50) in a live setting? I am considering the new Boss loop pedal but I've always wondered if I already had the capability built inside Logic to do it. I really love the idea of the new RC-50 that you can switch between verse/chorus/bridge parts by controlling different looped phrases with your feet. Is anyone familiar with any kind of live looping/recording/overdubbing capability in a laptop running Logic? Possible setup ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Well, I'm also new, but I might be able to help. You can go to the media button in the top right, then go to the browser, and search the mp3's on your hard drive and pull them into Logic Pro 8. Just drag and drop. Once the mp3 that you want is in there you can cut it and loop it however you want. From there, you can add software instruments and such to add snare and bass, or whatever. Hope this helps.

How to use Logical database in function module?

I will create a function module in HR.
but how to use Logical database in function module ? Logical database PNP always show screen.in function (RFC) code , it is a matter.

You cannot attach the LDB to the main program of the function group.
- So you may [SUBMIT|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=submit&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue] a report which use the LDB and get back the data (export/import), by default in the syntax of SUBMIT the selection-screen will not be displayed
- Use [LDB_PROCESS|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?query=ldb_process&cat=sdn_all], fill a structured table for selection, and get data back in another table
- Use [HR function modules to read Infotypes|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=hrfunctionmodulestoread+Infotypes&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue].

I
got your message about making sure to use the machine specific disk that came with my machine. Unfortunately, Apple no longer sells Tiger replacement disks. I've got a couple of bids out on ebay, and will update when I have news to add to this post.
Thank you for your help, Frank!
To be clear you called the 800 number and explained what the situation was, old machine and lost the original DVD's?
Just checking because if you just called and tried to buy the DVD's they might tell you they no longer sell them but you aren't really trying to buy them your trying to replace the ones that are missing.
Ebay may work but there is a certain specificity to the DVD's required which, even if they seem right, might not work.
Good luck either way. If you get a chance when you get the DVD's I'd be interested in hearing how it all works out.

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?

Does anyone know if apple's one-to-one program would be a good way to learn how to use logic pro or am I better off going to school to learn audio engineering or something?

Of course going to school would be a good option, but I want to know if one-to-one is also a good way to learn how to use logic pro. Has anyone been through the one-to-one program for logic pro and can say that they learned how to use logic pro well because of it?

For sure, one to one training, if given by a tutor who is capable, will hand you the means to build up self-confidence and will therefore let you operate the hard/software in an intelligent manner, instead of going for the trial and error method which has its pro's and con's too. Once you've passed this beginners phase you will make your own decisions intelligently and then you will also start to get experience and learn even from your mistakes. Something like that in theory and the rest is up to you!
Have a nice day

How do I use logic as a mulit timbre sound module???

Whats up people,
Im trying to trigger all the sounds in logic via a hardware controller (mpc) separating everything on separate channels. I got it to read on just one channel at a time, but multi?? Forget about it.... I read other posts in regards to this same question and have run thru the suggestion switched midi setting to auto demix etc...
Doesn't respond if i go to another channel on my hardware and select the new instrument to the same channel in logic it still only allows playback from one channel at a time?? Huh is my theory even possible folks!?? I would think it is.
Im trying to comprehend the instructions in the manual for the environment setup, to see if i need to make any changes their. I thrown in a channel splitter, a seq input, a transformer but i have no idea if im doing it right?? I must be slow cos to me that enviroment chapter reads like riddles! (LAYMAN TERMS SOMEONE PLEASE!!)
If anyone can assist in this id appreciate it. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Good lookin out
peace

Greetings people,
The latest.............okay where do i start. Well i actually followed everybody suggestion on this thread and actually as a result now understand the enviroment a little better. But i have still been unable to get my multi playback channels. I managed to get access to all 16 channels etc.
Right now i have my physical input going thru the monitor to the channel splitter, each channel is cabled to my audio instrument(which im assuming is the multi inst i created as to represent the mpc) channels are set to all and then i have the out of my audio instrument going to the seq input. I hear my sounds and have actually triggered the internal sounds from the mpc pads no problem (did that b4 i posted)
but now say i select midi channel 1 on my mpc, which in turn is instrument 1, double click it to get the audio window select ultrabeat, go back to the mpc and program some drums using ultrabeats sounds. Now remember all im doing is recording midi signals into my mpc which is triggering logics sounds right. okay so now, im saying i want to go to the next channel/audio instrument/ and now use sculpture and put a nice fat bass on it. so i select the patch i want hit play on my mpc hoping that it plays back the drums, but NO! now i have selected a new track it pulls over the programming i did for ultrabeat into the sculpture patch.....follow me??
I tested logic to just record one at a time in the arrange, and it does but it records real erratic. btw my mpc is strung up thru my midisport usb which i did select in the enviroment window..check!
I tried Mac's method of dragging the audio instrument into the arrange and selecting the track with a corresponding sub channel etc but got allot of midi feedback!!??? I know that going to settings - record-auto demix etc is supposed to do the trick, well it aint for me?? Please what am i doing wrong??
Ultimately i want to be able to program my mpc using logics sounds via the midi channels simultaneously, and then dump it all down into logic once i am happy with the outcome. Am i asking too much for logic to be a sound source and recorder at the same time??
I dont mean to sound naive or ignorant but i have just started using software for the first time. i use to go the hardware route using digital recorders allday but it was a simpler routing method since my sound sources were seperate(keyboards, sound modules etc). obviously now im tryint to intergrate my old style with the new, but im getting very fustrated and creativley lathalgic from this setback. Many have suggested tossing the mpc and using logic for drums, but sorry i just cant do it i love that boom bap to much.
Anway sorry for the rambling its late and ive just spent the last 5 hours beating my head upside the g5. If anyone out their hasd a similar setup to me whether successful or not, get at me lets trade off techniques and ideas.
Thanks again for taking the time to read the thread and offering your help, please keep it coming.

I am using logic to record a podcast and using soundboard to use as a playback for music and sound effects. I'd like to soft patch sound board into logic, and still use my interface for recording audio from the other members of the podcast.

I am using logic to record a podcast. I have a presonus firestudio mobile for my interface so I can record several people at the same time. I'm also using Soundboard for a playback system for music and sound effects. I'd like to know how to soft patch Soundboard into Logic while still using the Firestudio interface to record the other members of the podcast. Does anyone know how to do this? and if so can you tell me how to do it? Thanks.

Thanks. Now, since Apple failed to provide an audio in jack for their new and improved iMacs (mine has one), all I can suggest is that you contact AppleCare, since you have 90-dqy free phone support. If need be, you might reconsider your purchase, but that's for you to decide.

Using Logic 7.2 on a Mac Pro with Protools 7.2.1 and Mac OS 10.4.7

I am researching purchasing a New Protools/Logic System
Seems the version of Protools to use with the new Mac Pros is 7.2.1, which only recently came out to work with the new "Mac Pros" Digidesign has stated thhat it works with and Mac OS 10.4.7
The latest version of Logic is 7.2 which has been out for a while....hmmm
Is anybody using Logic 7.2 on a New Mac Pro with Protools 7.2.1 and Mac OS 10.4.7, and does it work?

Logic Pro 7.2.2 is not compatible with DAE/TDM on a Mac Pro INTEL.
You will see only "CoreAudio" as available choice, when trying to engage your audio hardware.
We have to wait for any announcements in this regard, maybe at AES or DigiDays in San Francisco.
Best,

Can you use logic express on a mac mini for recording

Can i use logic exprees on a mac mini for recording? Ive seen alot of 8,12, and 16 track recorders with a cd burner and it seems like a logical and more productive gues for me to buy a macmini for the same thing of recording and then I can uses logic express, a far better program for recording. can the mac mini handle the load of processing tracks and how much ram should I uses? thanks tim

sorry, I'd like to butt in here:
I would like to do the same thing, so I am curious about this forum and rather than starting a new one, can I get some advice on this possibility:
Mac Mini
1.83GHz Intel Core Duo
2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
80GB Serial ATA drive
Glyph External HD 250 Gig
Mackie Onyx 1620 w/Firewire
Logic Pro 7.2
thoughts?
The most number of tracks I could see at once would be 16.
Here is something I am most curious about...
Firewire Hard drive
Firewire Interface/mixer
Firewire camera for FCP
to much firewire?
Please let me know if you have other thoughts aswell...
Shuke
thanks guys, this forum is fantastic!

Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens

I have download and install Logic Pro 9.1.6 on my MacBookPro 13". I record on location with my MacBook an wil edit and arrange the music on my iMac at home. Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens. I'm the owner of both computers. If it can where can I find the program on my MacBook? and how to install and register?

Hi, is the iMac also 10.6.8? I had an iMac die when 10.6.8 was installed, it worked at first but after some You Tube flash videos the screen just locked and no mouse clicking anywhere did anything. It turned out that most older iMacs [ mine was from august 2007] have a graghics chipset that can't handle Snow Leopard, there were [are?] 77 pages on this "locked screen"topic in the Snow Leopard forum. I checked out a web site that tells you how much your mac is worth by filling in the sereal number-mine was worth only $168, I may give it to a friend for his children to play with, although that seems unholy. I doubt anyone woud buy it,the problem is now so well known that even Apple certified resellars here in the Netherlands refuse to repair them,they claim Apple will revoke their certification if they replace the faulty Graphics unit,it is also VERY hard to get to that unit in an iMac, everything is so tightly packed inside.
If your iMac is running Mountain Lion[10.8.0] you may have to change the app store preference to accept apps from all sites,normally ML will only allow app store apps to be downloaded.

How to retrieve data using logical database and custom select options

Hi all,
I have a selection screen which is displayed by logical database PSJ and I have two select options of my own. I need to retrieve data based on both selection screen of logical database and my own select options. How can I do it?
Thanks in advance.

Hai Gupta
Check the following Document & Links
1. A logical database is in fact
a program only.
2. This LDB provides two main things :
a) a pre-defined selection screen
which handles all user inputs and validations
b) pre defined set of data
based upon the user selection.
3. So we dont have to worry about from
which tables to fetch data.
4. Moreover, this LDB Program,
handles all user-authorisations
and is efficient in all respects.
5. tcode is SLDB
good info about Logical Database. you can check the link.

Re: How to Create and Use ldb in reports?
Re: Logical databases
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/9f/db9bed35c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Functions for displaying and changing logical databases:
Call Transaction SE36 or
Choose ABAP Workbench -> Development -> Programming environ. -> Logical databases
Interaction between database program and report:
During program processing, subroutines are performed in the database program and events are executed in the report.
To read data from a database tables we use logical database.
A logical database provides read-only access to a group of related tables to an ABAP/4 program.
advantages:-
The programmer need not worry about the primary key for each table.Because Logical database knows how the different tables relate to each other,and can issue the SELECT command with proper where clause to retrieve the data.
i)An easy-to-use standard user interface.
ii)check functions which check that user input is complete,correct,and plausible.
iii)meaningful data selection.
iv)central authorization checks for database accesses.
v)good read access performance while retaining the hierarchical data view determined by the application logic.
disadvantages:-
i)If you donot specify a logical database in the program attributes,the GET events never occur.
ii)There is no ENDGET command,so the code block associated with an event ends with the next event
statement (such as another GET or an END-OF-SELECTION).
1. transaction code SLDB.
2.enter name z<ldb-name>
3.create
4.short text
5.create
6. name of root node (here Ekko)
7. enter short text (f6)
8.node type -> data base table.
9.create
10 change logical DB
riht click on ekko and insert node
here node name ekpo
11.create
12. click on selections
13. press no Should the changed structure of Z<ldb name> be saved first.
14.select tables which you want to join.
15.transfer
16 now you have to o to coding part.
17. save
activate.
19.click to src code
double click on first include and activate

OBIEE 10g - Can I use logical SQL to set variable?

I am trying to set value of a session variable in the Advanced tab Prefix box of a request.
Assigment of absolute value like this is working good:
SET VARIABLE MYVAR=1;
Can I set the variable using logical SQL? Something like:
SET VARIABLE MYVAR = (SELECT table1.col1 from catname where table1.col2=1)
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can create a session variable or dynamic variable in the RPD and try using it in here at the Advanced Tab prefix.
But still check yourself if you need multiple values returning in the SQL statement.
Hope this is helpful/ useful.

Keep getting message pop up "Error reading/writing file "com.apple.logic.pro.cs": Logical end-of-file reached during read operation," and "The Preferences are not loaded completely. Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?" Using Logic pro 8. ???

Logic froze while I was working on something so I forced quit. Now every time I open LOGIC a message pops up that says:
"Error reading/writing file
“com.apple.logic.pro.cs”:
Logical end-of-file reached during read operation."
The only button option is cancel so I press it and another message appears that says:
"The Preferences are not loaded completely.
Do not save them, as you would overwrite the Preferences file with incomplete data."
Then when i close logic a box appears saying:
"The Preferences are not loaded completely.
Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?"
There are 3 button options to press; ok, cancel or dont save.
I press "don’t save" cuz I don't want to ruin anything.
I found a discussion located here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9564253#9564253 that says if I delete the file "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" it will resolve the problem. If I do this will I loose or mess anything up at all, automation, saved channel strips customizations, saved effects, synth, or ultrabeat customizations etc? Or especially will I loose any work I've done? I have hundreds pieces of music files I've created. I'm scared to mess anything up with all the hours and months of work I've done. Is there anyway to fix this without loosing anything? I'm using Logic Pro 8.
Thank you

You can safely delete this file - its the preference file for control surface settings - you haven't said whether you're actually using a control surface or not, if so, you will have to set it up again. A new file will be created when you fire Logic up again, but of course it will contain default settings. If you have a complicated control surface setup, remember to keep a backup copy somewhere in case any future problems arise.
Other than that, you really have nothing to be scared about - hopefully your problem is as simple as that and there isn't an underlying problem (a corrupt hard drive, for example). You seem concerned about losing work, so I guess you want to think about backing that up on a regular basis too. If you're saving your projects to your system drive, do get an external one for this. And also check that you have plent of free space on your system drive - you need to keep about a quarter or third of it free for your OS and programs to run properly (some temporarily stored files can be quite large).

How to inactivate the 'Complex Search' button when using Logical Database

Hy experts
I m using Logical Database for a select and you know that for an GET event by default in selection screen it appears some selection fields for every GET event..I manage to hide the ones that don't interest me but I have a little problem: I have a button that's called 'Complex Search' and I don't know how to get rid of this button..
Here is some code:
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
IF screen-name CP '%BT02010_BLOCK_1000'.
      screen-input = '0'.
      screen-active = 0.
      screen-invisible = 1.
      MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
    IF screen-name CP 'QL_REFIL'.
      screen-input = '0'.
      screen-active = 0.
      screen-invisible = 1.
      MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
I do this for every screen-name in the program that doesn t interes me..but it seams that even if I comment all the button with 'Complex Search' remains..I mention that is a disperate solution to inactivate every screen element but I could not do other way..My bigest pb is the 'Complex Seach' button..can anyone help me?? pls.. <REMOVED BY MODERATOR> ..thx..

Thank you Thomas,
I need some more from you...
If I have 8 tables for 8 columns, then how do i proceed?
Also could u tell me some query optimization techniques while working with intermedia text.
Thanks you once again,
waiting...
Khaleel Hi Khaleel,
I think this depends on your data model (relationship between the tables) and how you like to search later.
The optimization begins also with the create index statement (memory clause and storage clause).
If you like me to help I need more information about your hardware, os, datamodel and what kind of searches you will have later.
Cheers,
Thomas
