Hello, The timestamps in my undo window are behind an hour (current time will say 11pm, but the undo step will show a time of 10pm). Not a HUGE deal, but it comes into play at times when I need to make proper edits. Does anyone know how to get the times to match?

Anyone?

I have a numbered system of folders (i.e., "0 - Ideas", "1 - Raw Mixes," etc.) that indicate where the project is in implementation: 0 is for my ideas/scratchpad, 1 is the raw mix and arrangement, 2 is for the raw stems of the project, 3 is for the fully mixed version of the project, 4 is for the fully mixed stems of the project, 5 is for the rendered mixes for mastering, 6 is for the mastering projects, 7 is for the rendered masters. Obviously, saving several versions of several projects takes up a good amount of space, but it's easy to backup to another drive to keep my main external clutter-free. Any project that I actually do anything with (and have completed) is moved to a subfolder in 0 called "Done," so that way I don't keep checking out a project or idea I've already completed. Everything is packaged as a folder for reasons Arnaud mentioned above. It seems like a far easier way to manage projects and assets.

Hello, Before I upgraded to 10.3, if I had a project with a mixer window open and fully expanded on my second (right) external screen (I work with my laptop closed and just drive two externals), it would open up in this same manner after I've saved, closed, and reopened. Ever since I upgraded to 10.3, though, it opens on the first (left) external screen hiding behind the arrange window to where I have to drag it back over to the second external screen. Is there something that I maybe changed by accident? Can anyone assist me with this first-world problem? Forty thanks to anyone that can. Matt

Try doing this (if you haven't already): Logic Pro X > Control Surfaces > Bypass All Control Surfaces I had an issue with my External Instrument (Motif XF) and doing that solved it.

I figured it out... when I bypass all control surfaces, the option reappears. Not sure what changed between March and now, but I certainly haven't touched control surface options. Would anyone know why a control surface would cause something like that to happen?

So I talked to Yamaha, and they pretty much suggested the things I already tried (reinstall drivers, reinstall Logic, etc.). He even mentioned something about an environment bug... Anywho, I'm gonna try an initialization and if that doesn't work, I'll restore a backup from March (the last time I remember it working). Two questions: If I backup the preferences file before I initialize, can I preserve all of the settings that way? If I do a Time Machine restore from March, am I able to restore from a point closer to today's date afterwards? Basically going back in time and then jumping back to the present if I so choose? (I realize the second question isn't an actual Logic question, but it is semi-pertinent to me solving the Logic issue.)

I'll do so if I can get some time later tonight and update you here. Thanks!

Hi David, I haven't because I get all three options in Cubase 6 LE (I'm not at my Mac right now to screenshot it), and it works as expected there. Would that still signify a bad/problematic driver if it works with one DAW and not the other?

Hi, I've had my Motif XF hooked up to my Duet 2 for a few years now with no issue regarding MIDI and audio (I could record MIDI notes in Logic, and it would trigger my Motif's sounds). Recently (I assume when I upgraded to El Capitan), I've lost this capability due to one of the output options missing. There should be one that says "MOTIF XF7 MAIN" to enable triggering, but it's nowhere to be found. I've installed/reinstalled/updated my respective drivers, and short of deleting and reinstalling Logic, I'm unsure of what to do. http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn3/Mattside2/Screen%20Shot%202016-05-21%20at%2010.59.17%20PM.png Has anyone experienced this or something similar? Does anyone have any advice? It's driving me absolutely crazy not being able to figure this out, so hopefully someone has some insight. Thanks Matt

I throw a Direction Mixer on the Output track and set the Spread to 0; it ends up being my Mono button by turning it off and on when I want.

Hello, Is there any way to soften the attack on the Vintage B3 Organ? The initial attack hits really hard, so I was trying to find a setting that brings in the sound gradually, but I couldn't find anything. The alternative would be to do a fade-in, but that would require a fade for each chord... anyone know of an efficient method? Thanks. Matt

Have you tried using Region Automation?

Quick update to this... I was able to determine (after almost 2 years of research!) that the cause of this noise was from an instrument-level signal using 1/4" TS to 1/4" TS to the audio interface. Once I realized this, I figured a line-level signal should solve my issues. So I got a couple of custom 1/4" TS to XLR cables, and the noise is finally gone. "The galaxy... is at peace."

Mine is a Mid-2012 version, so almost 3 years old. It's very possible that I've already updated to 10.10... I don't remember, and I usually forget to update my signature anyway. If I already did update, I haven't noticed any change in function to LPX.
