I added multi onstrument in the environment and linked to quantum and I got the pad to trigger on the midi piano roll but no input to siftware or midi instrument channel, yes it's set to record

Drum Pad is plugged into the quantum midi in, I get nothing I tried a midi instrument track as well as software instrument w drum designer

I have yamaha dd75 drum pad midi into quantum interface, i set up a midi instrument track which recognizes the quantum, put it on All channels but no input, how do I link it to logic to use as drum trigger for Drum Designer or Sampler instrument drum sounds for individual drum tracks step writing/editing? I have always just used the sampler and step written my drums, Thanks

My newly installed quantum, w newest firmware,is listed under the audio devices for my imac and in logic preferences. The output is working great but can't get a signal to input when audio rack enabled to record, also created an aggregate instrument, still no input. Interface shows input on meter and input to set correctly on channel strip

been inactive for years, have newest Logic Pro x on a new iMac and want to finish my old songs. old computer died but I have the drive dumped onto a Samsung ssd and old projects files still saved on external drives. I open old projects in new Pro x and tons of audio files are missing and my software instruments are silent or triggering different sounds and my self made "5 piece kit" is not in new Library. I find the 5 piece kit in my external drives as a audio file folder and and exe file, there are lots of copies there for some reason, how do I get these into my new Pro x ? thanks I'm VERY RUSTY on the whole software, thanks

Hey will any iPad work for logic remote control or are there minimum requirements?

Thinking of using macbook air ( hopefully an older cheaper model)for logic 10.6 remote instead of iPad simply because its bigger. Any minimum requirements? I assume it runs on bluetooth?

I have a Personsus 16.4.2 mixer, output is firewire 400 to an 800 cable which worked fine on my 09 Mac Pro but it won't mount on my new 2015 iMac running high Sierra. I have it run into a thunderbolt 2 to firewire 800 adapter into an OWC thunderbolt dock but even if I run it straight into the computer thunderbolt input it doesn't show up. I have booted with the mixer on and off and turned mixer on while computer on. Help? thanks

Don't my old songs search for them in a specific file?

Hi, been outa the loop for several years now, I have most of my projects using a drum kit as well as a cymbal kit that i made myself, they are saved on a cd , I have an 09 mac pro computer running Yosemite 10.10.5 (14F2511) and need to load these,file so my old songs can find them but the old computer is broken and i don't know where to store these, Help? thanks

If your looking for solos look no further than Brad Paisley, If you haven't listened to "country" lately it's more like Bonjov/Def leppard meets Eagles meets POP. try this one or any other Brad Paisley. Smokin! and you can still clarify the notes, hmmmmm? http://www.youtube.com/user/bradpaisley?ob=4&feature=results_main#p/f/3/tvdoKvHYxcA

Hence, I restruct. instead of "Focusing on (in this order) the Message (lyrics), the Feel, the Emotion, the Groove, Melody and the supporting chords/harmonies and song structures seem to magically appear" I should have said, "Focusing on (in this order) the Message (lyrics) and the PHRASING of those lyrics, the Feel, the Emotion, the Groove, Melody and the supporting chords/harmonies and song structures seem to magically appear. Sing it like yolu'd say it.!

I believe writing boils down to your intended Audience and intended outcome. In the 80's I wrote and performed the twisted artsy "Zappaesk" stuff and had a limited audience for it that went "WOW". After 30 years of writing and especially performing the most effective I have been at keeping the listener and having them Remember My songs and Hooks is the simple POP format and focus on the GROOVE. Most listeners are very simple minded and just want to have FUN and be Moved emotionally. David Gilmore said it best." If you haven't Moved anyone you haven't done Anything! that of course can be accomplished many ways. There are tons of chord substitutions that can happen over the same melodies the more avant garde they are, the more non basic 4/4 time signatures and dance/ballad Groove will usually change the style from POP/country/R&R to JAZZ or "musician's" music. The audiences for alternative music will always be significantly smaller even for the best players/singers in the world. That's why they call Pop, it's POPular. Addressing the original Q, beyond theory and mathematics it all comes down to EARS and being MOVED. What harmonies work? the ones that Help get us and our listeners Moved in the Soul. A famous country writer said "there is No Money above the third fret." KISS, Keep if Simple Stupid." Focusing on (in this order) the Message (lyrics), the Feel, the Emotion, the Groove, Melody and the supporting chords/harmonies and song structures seem to magically appear. Experimenting on UNWASHED Listeners will undoubtedly shift the writer's approach. There's more of Them than there are of us. Happy Hunting !

I use the trrackpad on the macbook pro mainly to select stuff and zoom in and outand the kensington is the bomb, I have the bottom two for r and l click and the top two assigned two assigned to page left an right. the track ball smokes for screen to screen pointer. I have gotten so good at it i can just flik and grab the ball and stop it almost precisely where I want on the next screen. I will probably get another on. give it a whirl and let me know, Blessings from the South, Y'all and thanks for all you do.

I've been using a Kensington Expert Mouse (4 button trackball with scroll ring) for years and it just quit, I thought it best to ask the Logic users what they recommend. I have mac book pro and another cinema display and I do a lot of writing on the piano roll with drums, keys, horns, etc, any suggestions? thanks
