Thanks, I'll give the update a try. I plan to upgrade, just the computer set me back a little. Baby steps...

It's been a while since I've checked in. You've been a great help in the past, so I thought I'd see if you had a solution for me. I finally upgraded my computer to a new MacPro, but I'm still using Logic 6.3.1. I've been trying to use the "Solo" button to preview a single track, but it doesn't seem to be doing the job - everything is still playing. I tried muting the 3 busses set up on the song, but that didn't do it. The individual track mute doesn't seem to work either. It's gotta be something simple I'm missing, but I'm stumped. Separate, unrelated issue: I have a sound that plays at the beginning of my song. It seems to be the keyboard from one of my midi tracks (sounds like a cat jumping on a piano - klang!) I have pulled the start of the song back to see if there is any midi or analog info that got recorded before the start of the song, but there is none. Any idea what's going on here? Any help is always appreciated.

Love to hear some input on this one. I've been searching the web, but just can't find anything worthwhile or relevant. I'm looking to recreate 2 guitar tones, cause blatent exploitation is the sincerest form of flattery! Johnny Marr on How Soon is Now / Meat is Murder and The Edge on "One" / Achtung Baby (the guitar intro) I have Amplitube so any settings for that would be super, otherwise just some idea of the effects and settings would be helpful. Been dialing for days but haven't found the right combo. Thanks for any contributions

Thanks much!!

Anyone have any good ideas on how to create a nice reverse reverb effect on some cymbals? They're not Audio tracks they're Audio instruments, if that makes a difference. The effect I'm going for is kind of a crescendo whoooshhippp (sound of air sucking in). Any help appreciated. Thx.

Thanks for all your help David. I'll let you know how it all works out. By the way, that logicnut fella just sounds like a dick.

Since I can tell you're the man when it comes to Logic, here's another unrelated question: I've recorded a number of guitar parts in Logic. I've used the punch in/punch out or auto drop recording method because basically I suck at playing guitar (but I can shred on one chord at a time ) Now my problem is that I'm getting a little pop at the beginning of each audio region. When I open the region up in the sample edit window, I seen no spike that I could erase or silence. While I realize it's a poor way of recording, I figured I could clean it up if there was audio noise - just can't see any in the sample edit window. Tried moving up the region start marker and that didn't seem to do it.

For some reason, I cannot see any of ChrisE's posted replies. Is this a super secret forum responder or am I just lame?

Now I'd love a new G5 (had one at my last job and dug it), but I gotta wait til I get a job first. I'm not sure what the exact error code was - something along the lines of Can't process... (not sure if Core Audio came before or if I'm just have a confused memory from reading all the other posts). I was using Amplitube on 4 different audio tracks and running the EXSP on 4 other instrument tracks. I went back and froze 2 of the audio tracks and I'm not getting the error anymore. I wonder if I should max out the RAM? And if I were to get a new G5, would my PCI Delta 44 card work in it? I've got Sample Tank on the way (great deal right now - buy Amplitube, get Sample Tank free - or the other way around), so I was wondering if this will add more proverbial wrenches to my works? I could max out the RAM at 1.5 gb pretty cheaply, and I've always been told processor upgrades are crap (although why do they sell so many????!!!). Just wondering how I should proceed.

Hope this wasn't answered somewhere else, apologies if it was. I'm running Logic 6.3.1 on a G4 733 mhz with 768 mgs RAM and a 40 gb harddrive. I recently purchased Amplitube (which shreds) but I've encountered memory issues when using the effect on multiple audio tracks. So here's a few questions about how I should proceed. #1 I have a Lacie 160 gb firewire drive - can this be used as a scratch disk? #2 If I am to upgrade, what order should I go (as I cannot afford everything at once) - max out the RAM or upgrade the processor (and on that note, how much difference is there between a 1.2 ghz upgrade and a 1.4 ghz upgrade?) Thanks for any and all help.
