Why Don't Midi and Audio Tracks Stop Playing When I hit Pause or Stop

I'm using Logic Express 8.
This could be a preference corruption issue, but I'm not sure. When I play on the keyboard or from within the application the notes continue to play even when I hit stop or pause. This doesn't always happen, but I'm wondering what causes it.

Hi,
are you clicking with the mouse or hitting spacebar? Does is work with the second mouseclick?
The first mouseclick into a non-active window doesn't do anything but brings this window to the front. The second mouseclick then should do the job. The same applies to the spacebar: It only affects the application currently "in front". This is especially true if you have the sample-editor open, and the stop command only stops the sample playing but doesn't stop the arranger.

Midi and Audio tracks simultaneously armed for recording

All, whilst engaged in laying down the bass track for the guitar solo section of my latest monster his, I encountered one of those sorts of frustrations that makes one long for some means of swift egress from this mortal coil, this vale of tears: that is, while laying down my totally awesome bass track that when they hear it will send JP Jones and Boosty Collins to employee as actuaries, I kept getting the hateful "unable to synchronize the audio and midi error." I'll spare you the catalog of the various lame attempts I understood to remedy this problem, as well as the curses directed toward my fate, and Daw ineptitude in general. Then I nnoticed that both the software instrument tracks (Addictive drums) and the audio track (aforementioned bass) were both armed for recording, signified by the red R in the track header! Well, upon de-arming the software instrument track I was able to record by bass line in a mimimum of takes, and as visions of illegal intozicants and comen of questionable morals dance through my noggin as recompsense for my trouble, with to make the point to all relative newbies such as myself that the answer to problems that seem on surface intractable as usually staring you right in the glazed eyeball.

What?...
I'm sorry maybe I don't understand everything you are sayng... but I can replay to the titles of the Topic!
Actually recording a MIDI instrument and an Audio Track symultaneously comes with serious bug!!!
you cannot use Punch-in on Fly when an Audio and instrument track is armed at the same time...
or better you can but the MIDI and audio output will be dropped for a moment
Provide a Logic feedback

THIS IS A LOGIC 8 BUG!!! BIGGEST SERIOUS BUG!
I suggest you to use Logic 7 when you need that!
Thank you so much for remember me this..
I'm sorry no alternative solution... or.. if you have 2 Macs you can use one for Logic MIDI and another one for Logic Audio!

Midi and audio tracks are not synchronised properly?

no problem for a year and then after synchronizing my old Roland VS 880 in order to transfer audio tracks to a new project in my mac all new audio recordings run out of sync with the midi percussion tracks. They move along together but not quite in sync. It sounds as though the guitar parts have been badly played but believe me that is not the case.

Good question. I don't know. If the sampling frequency changed it did it on it's own because I have never even come across that before. I am going to look around logic to try and educate myself but so much time has been lost already I am at my wits end. We couldn't talk could we? Are you with skype?

Global Track - Chords (Only selected Midi and Audio Tracks)

I am looking to have only certain Audio/Midi tracks be trsposed when there is a change of chords in the Global Track section. For example, I am going C/Am/C. At the Am point, everthing (exclusing drums) gets transposed, even the Melody parts. Is there any way to select only the tracks that I want tranposed?
Or is there a better way of doing this. Appreciate the help.

Hi Again
I tried it out today and on the Midi tracks I found the no hassle in ticking the non transpose button. Worked great.
On the audio loop tracks I could not find the no transpose option in the inspector. Appreciate your assistance.

Logic Pro 9 When I open a file which contains a composition of many midi and audio tracks, no sounds play or some tracks are playing the wrong sounds. The project was working perfect when it was saved and closed down.

Does anyone else understand what is happeneing, its like all the tracks and plugins are confused and are playing all the wrong sounds if at all. I've checked the audio setting which seem fine but cant understand where it all goes horribly wrong. Thanks

Is it just a Logic problem; can you for-instance play audio in iTunes trough the Tascam? And what about new projects; you get audio there?

Midi and audio in quartz composer.

I am fairly new to quartz composer. Does any one know how to set up the midi input or controller in it? I can set up a basic image, but it will not respond to me playing my midi keyboard. I am so lost.

You just select Midi and Audio tracks while holding down the shift button. Arm both tracks->select the Midi track first (click into track header) ->hold down shift->select the Audio track->both track headers turn grey->record->have fun...

Can't Record Midi and audio Simultaneously

I just noticed that I cant record audio and midi simultaneously. I wanted to record a audio vocal track as I was recording a midi piano track but it wouldn't record. If I selected the audio track, the midi track wasn't heard. If I selected the midi track, I could hear the piano, but the audio wouldn't record. Weird. I had to record the midi track, and then go back and arm 2 audio tracks for recording. One for the vocal and the other to convert the midi track into a audio track. I don't understand why I can't record midi and audio at the same time. I am using a MOTU 896HD for my audio, so I can record up to 8 audio tracks at a time.
Does anyone have any clues as to how to set this up to record midi and audio at the same time?

Setup your audio and midi tracks and then hold the shift key and hit the record button on each of them. Both audio and midi will record.

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

Dan,
It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
Hope that helps

Error Garageband - can't sync midi and audio

I have no midi attached but still get an error message "Can't sync midi and audio".
All I am trying to do is record a voice-over using the built in mic on the iMac. But this error message keeps popping up constantly. I close it and then 10 seconds later it pops up again.
Why is garageband trying to sync a mid that I have not connected?

Hi!
Enable all audio tracks (R) you wish to record. Then make sure you select the audio instrument you are using on the left of the arrange page (track list). If you here your input, hold shift, then highlight (gray) the mentioned audio tracks you wish to record on. When R is red, and the proper tracks are grey, you can record. Hope that made sense!

Midi and audio regions are getting moved

Hallo... I am working on my arrangement on Logic Pro 9.1.8. I have many midi regions on a few tracks. I added a few audio tracks and started to slice them and reversed some parts. (I also played with new key commands) Now all the regions on each track (midi and audio) seem to be tied up. When I delete one region all the others (on this track) shift toward its position. Why does it happen?
(Locking SMPTE position partly helps but I would like to have access and be able to edit the regions). Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like you've got your drag mode (upper right of arrange) set to one of the shuffle settings.

The deal with the new subtitles and audio track feature...

During the keynote, Jobs claimed that chapter selection, subtitles and alternate audio tracks for movies were a new feature on the iPhone. Why that feature would only be available on the iPhone is beyond me -- I assume that the feature is actually available on the iPods, or at the very least on the computer. Indeed in the new iTunes 7.6 the option shows up in the menu. But it's greyed out! What's up with that? And I just purchased several new movies since the upgrade, including Bridge to Terabithia and the Prestige. But when playing either one of those films, the Controls -> Audio & Subtitles option is greyed out (though the chapter selection works). The option is greyed out for my rentals (Superbad and Underdog) too. My wife is not a native speaker and it helps her a lot to have the subtitles. What am I not understanding here? Are only some movies going to have subtitles and audio tracks? Is this a big downside to buying/renting on iTunes instead of just going and buying or renting a DVD?

That would stink if the subtitle/CC option were only available for the iphone. It is more likely though that the movies you tried simply do not have any other language track or subtitles: thus you see them greyed out.
I don't know of any movie that has another language track for sure - though in the Keynote Steve's version of Ratatouille has a French track...

How to record midi and audio at the same time?

Hello,
I have a Roland sh-201 synth and Logic 9. When I use patches from the sh-201, it will record it via audio. What if I wanted to record the audio but also have the midi information as well? How would I be able to accomplish this? My synth is connected via USB which carries both midi and audio. Sorry for my poor english, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Hi
Logic will record both audio and MIDI at the same time, but you *MUST* have the Software Instrument/MIDI track selected in the Arrange Track List.
The audio track must be 'Record Ready':

Can I link and lock video and audio tracks - layers - as in Photoshop?

I'd like to link and lock entire clips of video and audio tracks, as I might in Photoshop, so that I can insert some material ahead of this group without having to move each separate tack in my timeline. I have a group of clips which works well together now, and it would be so nice to be able to link them, lock them together as on unit, and just insert the new material into the timeline ahead of this piece. Any ideas?

alann
What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?
For now, a generalized Premiere Elements Windows answer.....
You would select all the clips (all at one time) that you want to move together, then Clip Menu/Group.
Or right click anywhere in the selection to bring up the pop up menu including the Group option.
Have you been there and done that yet?
Please supply more information so that we can fine tune the information that you seek.
Thank you.

Logic i/o midi AND audio?

im trying to use the Logic i/o plug in , not sue if im doing it right?
I have a sound module thats going into my 828mk2 inputs (11&12) and midi set up.
I can play the module fine from Logic but i thought that when you used the i/o plug in you could set up ONE track to use (like a internal plug in) that became the midi and the audio in order to record the track?
Do i have to record on a MIDI track the part from the module and then use a different audio track to capture it?
Im sure once i used a instrument track with the i/o on it and it became a midi/audio track all in one for outside gear? so i could record/midi all within the one track?
Am i being stupid?

so how do i use the external instrumnet and the i/o together?
External instrument on the instrument slot on a software instrument channel. This handles both MIDI and audio routing. What do you want to use the I/O plugin for? If you want to route to external hardware, then put the I/O plugin on one of the FX inserts on that software instrument channel.
Can i make my hardware become like a VST? and if using both utilities can i render a file to audio like i can a vst?
No, you have to record it in the conventional way.
or does it have to be real-time bounce only?
Yes, external instruments have to be played in real-time. Logic cannot yet speed up the universe to perform faster than realtime bounces - at least, not in Logic 8...
