How do I limit the number of measures per line in Logic Pro score editor

I would like to control the number of measures per line in Logic Pro X Score Editor, currently it puts random numbers of measures per line depending on the accumulated lenth of the measures per line, as if looking for "the best fit". Any ideas how to force four measures per line in my finished score?

Thanks, This solved my problem, the only thing I still needed to do was to find out how to open the Global format window. I fugured it out by opening the Score editor window / Layout / global format /then I saw the Max # of barlines. If you just go to the Logic Pro / Preferences then you never get to see the global format window unless you know to hit the "Score Project Settings" button on the bottom. But at least you showed me that there was such a option which limited the number of measures so I keep on trying until I fould how to reveal that option. Thanks !

How to snap to grid lines in Logic Pro 9?

In Garageband there's an option to "snap to grid lines" which means that when you click on the grid it will automatically snap the playhead to one of the lines, so it's always on a perfects beat. Does this option exist in Logic Pro 9? How do I turn it on? Thanks!

Left Click and Hold on the Ruler Bar and then move your pointer left or right and it will snap to the Bar
Or.. even simpler is to use the comma and period keys on your keyboard to move the playhead forwards and backwards by exactly one bar, snapping to the bar.

What causes these lines?

The wraparound cover OP is back with another question. In the help files I found this: "If your artwork contains transparency, ask your prepress service provider if they want to receive flattened or unflattened PDF files. Flattening should be done as late in the workflow as possible, preferably by the service provider. However, if your service provider wants you to flatten transparency, submit a PDF/X‑1a compliant file."
Since the print-on-demand service does request flattened files, I decided to try it. The cover looks very nice with one exception: the title on the back cover has faint lines around it as shown in the screen grab below. None of the other text has them. Can I fix this in the native file so they won't appear? Thanks

My guess is those are "stitching," the transparency flattening artifacts we've mentioned before, but I've never seen them in red before. These artifacts are the primary reason I've been telling you not to flatten if at all possible. They generally don't appear in high resolution prints like those on a press, but usually do show on digital output which is lower resolution. The only way you will know is to see a proof.
The only thing you can do to avoid these is to leave the transparency live (don't flatten).

What Are These Lines?

hi.
i get these thin horizontal lines after exporting my dvcpro hd 1080p25 footage with its current settings. they are mostly noticeable in the fade-in/fade-out areas.
why? how to get rid of them?
(see the pic below)

Just download the Preference Manager from www.digitalrebellion.com and have it do it for you. No point digging about when a FREE app does this for you with the click of ONE button.

Whats the diff between express and pro??

Just wondering what the main diff between the two are. I've used pro at school, but cant afford to get it at home. Will i still be able to use the same audio instruments like the same synths and plug ins??? Also, would i be able to run the program on a mac mini (top of the line)?

Matt Mac 63, "Whats the diff between express and pro??" #5, 10:33pm Oct 18, 2005 CDT
All I was saying is that if a person can afford to get Pro, they definitely should. The difference in features adds up to at least the difference in price, if not very much more.
Having said that, Express is good value compared to most other DAW software at that pricepoint, but it is only intended as a 'Lite' version.
Some examples, off the top of my head, of differences not made really clear in the comparison list.
Input Objects:
In Pro you can use Input Objects to monitor incoming signal without rec-enabling a track. That doesn't sound much, on the face of it, but what it means is you can use external FX units (hardware) as inserts in tracks (or busses) just like plugins, and bounce them with the mix. it also means you acn monitor what you are playing into Logic Pro with plugin FX applied, but record dry so you can hear your guitar with the reverb, or whatever, but still have the recorded dry signal so you can change the FX settings later.
Pro has some very handy environment objects. The main one being the Trabsformer object. But also another extremely useful object is TouchTracks.
If you've ever played with Ableton Live you would have noticed you can triger clips with the keyboard in all different ways (loop, gate loop, one shot etc.) Well TouchTracks does that with MIDI regions.(I have a feeling that feature in Live was modeled after Logic's TouchTracks' as it is incredibly similar.)
They are only a few examples of a whole range of differences. If all the differences were itemized in the 'comparison chart' it would be about 3 pages long.
All I am saying is, don't take the comparison chart as the definitive list of differences.
yes, Express is a good basic tool and you can do a lot with it, with some imagination.
The SOS author's claim that:
you're paying less than a third of the price of Logic Pro and getting over 90 percent of the functionality."
is not true in totality.
It may be true to someone who has never dabbled in audio software before, because it takes literally years to become fully conversant with every function in Logic Pro, and no-one uses absolutely everything.
But for serious users, who have big demands, in my opinion, Express is less than 30% of Pro's functionality.

Logic Pro and Pro Tools DAE

Hey whats up.
I got Logic Pro, Pro Tools HD2, (2) 96ios, and (2) 1622s.
I have 48 inputs...
I want to be able to use Logic's soft synths and have the outputs go into my Pro Tools Audio Interface.
I was reading the TDM guide and some questions here but I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do.
I go to Audio Hardware and Drivers... but it only shows Core Audio. Not DAE or DTDM. Do I have to install something with my Pro Tools system to make them show up?
Also, Is it possible to have Logic's Soft Syths go directly to Pro Tool's interfaces?
Thanks very much for any help on the matter.
Josh
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

My system is working fine besides this.
But when I got to Audio Hardware and Drivers I only have a Core Audio tab... Not DAE or DTDM.
I called tech support and they looked on the Pro Tools website. It says:
* Logic Pro 7.2 is supported on Intel-based Mac versions of Pro Tools only via Core Audio at this time.
So this means that I can't output my synth sounds out to separate Pro Tools channels???
I'm ready to give up and wait for an update but can this really be? I have Pro Tools HD2 and a Mac Pro. They are too new??? I hope I'm wrong. What do u think?
Thanks very much.
Josh
As for the Key Commands, it was the next plug-in and I assigned them to + and -.... Thanks guys!

Using Logic Express 8 to open .aif or iso song files from Logic Pro

I can open the song but only the lead vocal track has volume. I get a message that some of the files are "5 bit" and can't work with Logic Express 8. Is there a problem converting these files from Logic Pro to Logic Express 8 or do I have another problem

assuming no one else responds with a more complete answer, can you be a bit more specific of exactly what the message says in full.
Does it give you any indication which files?
Logic Pro does have more plug-ins and features that will not be backward compatible, especially if it some plug in that is required that comes with LP but not LE.
I haven't been able to find any reference about 5-bit - hence the need perhaps for a more complete message output.

Provide Feedback for the Logic Pro User Manual and Onscreen Help Here

The Apple documentation team for Logic Pro would like to know what you think about the Logic Pro Help documentation (available in the Help menu):
• How often do you use Logic Pro Help? Under what circumstances do you use it most?
• Do you use the printed manual or the onscreen help more? Which one do you prefer?
• How do you find what you're looking for in Logic Help: table of contents, index, skimming, PDF links, PDF search?
• What do you like about the Logic help?
• What would you like to see us improve? What is missing?
• What needs more in-depths coverage in the Logic help?
• In learning Logic, did you use the Logic Getting Started Guide? If so, do you feel the book provided a good introduction to the application? Is there anything you can think of that would make the Getting Started Guide more helpful to you? Did you use the tutorial song that accompanies the Getting Started guide?
• What are the most important concepts/features a new user has to understand to get started with Logic?
• By what method do you ususally learn a new application? For example: provided manuals, third-pary tutorials or books, training classes?
• Are there any particular examples of manuals or online help that you consider to be good models for the Logic Pro manual and onscreen help?
• What do you think is the most difficult feature/concept to grasp in Logic Pro?
• What's the most frustrating experience you've had with the Logic Pro documentation?
• Are there any other methods of delivery or media you think we should explore?
• What size of computer display do you typically use to view the onscreen help? For example: 12, 15, 17, 20, 23, or 30-inch?
• What resolution is the computer display set to when viewing Onscreen Help? For example: 1024 x 768, 1280 x 854, or 1920 x 1200 pixels?
• Do you use multiple computer displays?

• How often do you use Logic Pro Help? Under what
circumstances do you use it most?
I use it often. not everyday, but there is always some little command or procedure that you can't remember
• Do you use the printed manual or the onscreen help
more? Which one do you prefer?
I use them both, but the onscreen help a little more often. Some times I like to walk away from the computer and sit on the couch and read the manual, just to have a change of scenery
• How do you find what you're looking for in Logic
Help: table of contents, index, skimming, PDF links,
PDF search?
Table of contents and search
• What do you like about the Logic help?
It's right there on the computer, and being able to search by key words
• What would you like to see us improve? What is
missing?
I think real time animation would be real cool but I doubt that is practical
• What needs more in-depths coverage in the Logic
help?
Things that Logic has and you won't find in other programs, like explaining the environment in more detail. how to make better use of transformers. The Transform window could be explained more clearly.
• In learning Logic, did you use the Logic Getting
Started Guide? If so, do you feel the book provided a
good introduction to the application? Is there
anything you can think of that would make the Getting
Started Guide more helpful to you? Did you use the
tutorial song that accompanies the Getting Started
guide?
I didn't use it, although it looks great, I went right into the reference manual. I did look at the tutorial song, which was nice cause it gave me some hands on experience with moving things around
• What are the most important concepts/features a new
user has to understand to get started with Logic?
Logic is different that other DAW's. Logic's way of doing things may seem real strange to someone who came from using another program. as I said before, spend more time on things that are only found in Logic, like the environment. It really frightens some people.
Many of the questions here in this forum are midi related. people seem to be having a real hard time making midi work in Logic. The manual could be more detailed in explaining midi communication and how the environment is the heart of all of this
• By what method do you usually learn a new
application? For example: provided manuals,
third-pary tutorials or books, training classes?
Provided manuals and a lot of trial and error. Also forums such as this are a great asset
• Are there any particular examples of manuals or
online help that you consider to be good models for
the Logic Pro manual and onscreen help?
No, logic's manual is as good as most others.
• What do you think is the most difficult
feature/concept to grasp in Logic Pro?
For me it was the transform window, it took me a while to get the hang of it. none of the other programs I worked in had anything quite like it.
• What's the most frustrating experience you've had
with the Logic Pro documentation?
there are a few errors, so it is frustrating when you are following the manual but not achieving your goal. For example, page 112 says:
There are two possible locations for user icons:
The ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Logic Resources/Icons folder can contain icons which are only valid for the particular user (~ is the user name). If you save your icons in the root directory—/Library/Application Support/Logic/Logic Resources/Icons—the icons are valid for all users. If icons with identical numbers exist in both folders, the icons found in the user folder have priority.
But this is not the case, they actually go in /Library/Application Support/Logic/images/Icons
there was a couple other mistakes like this too, but i can't remember right now
• Are there any other methods of delivery or media
you think we should explore?
If you wanted to get into doing video tutorial, that would be cool. there is a web site called atomic learning http://www.atomiclearning.com/ they have quicktime video tutorials for a ton of different software applications, some apple, and for a flat fee of 79.99 for a year you can spend as much time as you like learning all of the software applications. I may sign up to learn Web design, and maybe final cut pro. Apple could do something like that for all of the apple software and do it much better I would think, and you guys would make a fortune. well I guess not compared to the fortune you are already making
• What size of computer display do you typically use
to view the onscreen help? For example: 12, 15, 17,
20, 23, or 30-inch?
20 in cinema display
• What resolution is the computer display set to when
viewing Onscreen Help? For example: 1024 x 768, 1280
x 854, or 1920 x 1200 pixels?
1344 X 840
• Do you use multiple computer displays?
no, just the one

The Death of Logic Pro?

What happen to Apple's Pro Audio application team with the development of the new version of Logic Pro. Maybe is not a new version of Logic.
Is death, discontinue? What is going on?

Logic Pro 9 and previous versions.. yes... Always scans AUs.. each time it starts...
LPX... No.. Only needs to scan again when a new one is added.... One of the nice things about LPX!

Logic Pro X on Macbook 13inch late 2009

Hello all
just looking to clarify a few things. I'm looking to purchase Logic for recording on my mac for a university course i'll be doing. I'm in the process of doing a full system restore and RAM upgrade from 2 to 4gb. Looking at the specs of Logic Pro X it says i require the following:
4GB of RAM
Display with 1280x768 resolution or higher
OS X v10.8.4 or later
Requires 64-bit Audio Units plug-ins
Minimum 5GB of disk space. 35GB of optional content available via in-app download
All of which I will have. HOWEVER i'm not sure about the 64 Bit audio plug in part. Does my Macbook late 2009 model have this? And if not, is my only option to go with the older but still good Logic Pro 9?
Thanks very much!

From the FAQ's > Logic Pro and MainStage 64-bit mode FAQ
How do I use Logic Pro or MainStage in 64-bit mode?
You can switch between 32-bit and 64-bit mode following these steps:
Quit Logic Pro or MainStage if it is running.
Navigate to the Logic Pro or MainStage application in the Applications folder.
Choose Get Info from the Finder File menu.
Disable the option to "Open in 32-bit mode" to open in 64-bit mode.
You would have to have Logic installed to view that infromation from the Logic > Get Info window.
On the RAM upgrade, the more RAM for audio editing the better. I'd increase beyond 4GB of RAM is possible.
