Gosh... I didn't knew about this... I always used the pan knobs to pan my stereo tracks. Shame on me I didn't read all the manual yet, but coming from 10 years of Sonar usage I thought I could manage to pan my tracks propery. Actually I was wrong! Thanks to darkecho to pointing this out (and to everyone who wrote in this thread too! )

Ok, thanks a lot!

I'm very interested in online collaborations, but I don't know where to start from... :\ My needs are quite homble: I don't make money out of music so I don't have a budget to invest in session musicians, what I'd need is a bass player to complete some of my tracks (hard rock/metal instrumental guitar-centered music), since I don't have time to search for a band. Anyone here with some experience with these online comunities can address me towards the right direction? Thanks!

Hello, I have the same problem: what it seems to me is that the Open dialog doesn't recognize the Logic projects as known file formats (they are greyed out in the interface). I've never investigated this deeply, since I usually use the Open Recent function or navigate with the Finder to the directory where the project is... anyway I'm curious about this problem!

Thank you both I actually used the wrong word, lagerfeldt is right... I meant "swapping" the two channels, so the gain plugin worked like a charm! Thank you very much!

Sorry to up the thread again, but anyone could help?

Oddly enough I wasn't able to reproduce the problem, even entangling the guitar cable with the headphones one, nor resting the headphone cable near to the pickups...

Hello everyone, maybe this is a dumb question, but I can't figure out how to edit a stereo wav file to invert the two channels. The problem arises because I have some cymbals samples tha are all hard panned to the right, while I want to have some on the right and some on the left in my mix. Panning them in the mixer view leads to a centered sound with a huge amount of volume loss, so I was thinking about editing the samples in the Sample editor, but I couldn't find how to do that (I also checked the manual, but it didn't help...). Any help will be very appreciated!

Thanks a lot man, your answer was really illuminating!!! I knew about crosstalk, but I never thought that could happen with my GuitarPort... you explained very clearly what's goin on, and I'll try to make the experiment you suggested! Actually it is not a real problem, I'm recording pretty distorted rhythm guitars, so I can cope with it, but I was really wondering how could it happen... Thanks again!

Hello! yesterday I was listening to some .aif files I've recorded using my GiutarPort interface (i.e., I put the jack directly into this usb device, so no mics at all), and I've noticed that in the initial parts of the files where I still wasn't playing, I could hear in the distance the drum track. The very strange thing is that the drum parts are not recorded but they are an exs24 instrument, and I always record with my headphone monitors... what's goin on here?

Sadly true...My Guitarport worked great with my standard Leopard installation shipped by Apple, but after upgrading to 10.5.2 it started to crack and pop... so I'm now reinstalling everything from scratch!

Wow, man... thanks a lot for sharing!!!

Uhmmm.... I have 3 choices under the EXS24 menu entry: Mono, stereo or multi output (5xStereo 6xMono)... is this last entry what I'm looking for? I read in the manual: The Routing parameter determines the outputs used by the zone. Choices include the main outputs, and paired channels 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, 9 and 10, or individual outputs 11 through to 16. This allows individual zones to be routed independently to aux channels in a multi-output EXS24 mkII instance. Great! It seems to perfectly fit! Now I just have to understand how aux channels work! Thanks a lot, man!

Hi all! I purchased last week my brand new copy of Logic Express 8, and while reading the documentation (it's huuuuuge!!!) I'm trying to port one of my old Cakewalk Sonar projects in Logic. I have a problem I couldn't manage to solve: in Cakewalk I used Kontakt for the drum tracks, starting from a midi score, and what I did was to record one instrument at a time, soloing it in the plugin interface. So first I record the snare, then the kick and so on; this gave to me the ability to treat every resulting wave file with different effects. Now: I'm using EXS24 to do the same job in Logic, and using the "Demix" function I isolated every drum part in a different track. What I want to do is to assign different effects to different tracks (compressor and reverb on snares, compressor on kick, etc...), but all the resulting tracks seems to be tied one to the other. Is it possible to do this? Thanks to everyone! Cheers!
