Rasmus Faber Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hi! Has any of you encountered this? When I use the "new track with duplicate setting" key command, Flextime is set to off on all tracks where it was previously active. This is replicable, and happens both when the new track in question is an audio track or instrument track, and doesn't matter wether there are plugins on it or not. Its very annoying! There isn't even any key command assigned to that function (turn flex off on all channels) and I have to manually flip it back on on every track. Has anyone seen this, and better yet, found a solution? Can you see the same happening on your systems? (I'm on the latest version on Logic X and it occurs both on Mavericks and Yosemite) Thanks!

I cannot reproduce that behavior here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmus Faber Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hmm, does that mean I should try deleting my preferences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Before you do that, can you reproduce that behavior in a new empty project with a new audio track where you record some new audio, using the duplicate button instead of the key command?

Rasmus Faber Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Ok now this is weird. Using the button it doesn't happen. Also, changing the key command to ANY key command that doesn't involve the Shift key doesn't cause the issue. Changing the key command to any command involving the Shift key cause the same issue... Weird or what??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmus Faber Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Oh, and I just realized, holding down the shift key while pressing the Flex button, activates and deactivates on all tracks! Didn't know that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that... I guess that's related to your key command issue then, some sort of conflict when using Shift as part of that key command.... I use the default Command-D so I don't get the issue. Well at least now you know how to make it work! Thanks for sharing your findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmus Faber Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 You're welcome, and thank you! Here's another weird one. Even though I set a new key command without shift (in this case, alt/ctrl/return instead of alt/shift/return), the old key command (alt/shift/return) doesn't disappear! (and keeps causing the issue when I use that one rather than the new one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 If you open the key command window and make sure the key focus (blue halo) is around the left box, the one that lists all the commands, then press alt-shift-return, do you see an existing assignment? If not, then you could try trashing your preferences at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmus Faber Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Trashing the preferences did fix the problem of the key command not going away. It did not fix the issue with flex time being turned on or off by the alt+shift+return command. At least now that there is no key command with that combination of keys, nothing happens (I just get the big blink to tell me to behave lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 holding down the shift key while pressing the Flex button, activates and deactivates on all tracks! Didn't know that... Actually I tried it here and it does not activate or deactivates all tracks?? I don't see a difference between clicking and Shift-clicking the Flex button on a track header. It did not fix the issue with flex time being turned on or off by the alt+shift+return command. I can't reproduce this behavior here, even with alt+shift+return assigned to New Track with Duplicate Setting. Do you have any 3rd party key command/key shortcut/mouse driver software installed on your Mac? Any "utility" or "productivity" 3rd party app at all by any chance?

Rasmus Faber Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hmm, that is really strange isnt it. Could it be a control surface function, something I had installed at some point but no longer using? I'll try trashing the control surfaces prefs as well. How about a Logic Remote issue?

David Nahmani Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 You could always give it a try: choose Logic Pro X > Control Surface > Bypass All Control Surfaces, and see if the behavior changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
