No, I just set that as the default a while back so it'd be the default instrument. Deleting it worked! You're doing (insert favorite deity here)'s work. Thank you!

Hmm. I'm using Logic 10.7.9 on an M2 Max Studio running 13.6. Here's a screen recording... for some reason, it just doesn't stick. Hopefully I'm just dense and missing something simple.

Yeah, I tried that, but it doesn't save the layout, only the patch. I just tried twice more for good measure... no dice. 😕

Is there any way to change the default sampler layout on launch? Each time I open it, I have to click to expand "Mapping" and "Zone", and my finger is getting sore. I can't seem to find any prefs or some such to just have it launch fully expanded.

I'm going to buy a new hard drive and do a clean install of 10.6 & logic studio 2 as soon as 10.6 arrives, and hope for the best. Should it not work out (I'm assuming everything will be fine), I can always just swap out the drives and be right back where I left off. I'll let you know what I think. As it is now, I'm still using LP8 until I'm finished with current projects. I have a feeling Apple will release a Logic Pro 9 update once 10.6 ships.

I own a 1968 Fender Dual Showman (first year of the CBS silverface, but before the CBS circuit was implemented, so it's essentially a blackface with a silverface plate). I recorded a part into amp designer and set the blackface amp to my liking, then looped it and plugged into my amp and played along. I have to say, aside from the amp models not sharing the exact knob layout, I was very impressed by how alike they sounded! That alone has sold me on the authenticity of the rest of the amps in the batch. A lot of folk like to compare modelers to modelers, but my original blackface fender with original RCA 6L6GC's running thru a 1x15" 1964 JBL fender cab sounds awfully damn close to Apple's model. Thumbs up to Amp Designer! Regarding the noise, that's an inherent trait in the original amps, so I welcome it in the models. If I'm going to use Amp Designer in place of my amp collection and analog boutique effects (Which I very much love, and until now was unwilling to replace them with software plug-ins), I personally want them to be indistinguishable from the real thing. Plus, one could always just follow the amp with a noise gate. Just my thoughts. I'll record and post a comparison of my amp vs amp designer. It would be interesting if others who own some of these amps could do the same!

Square, baby, square. It just works like dat. (just havin' fun...) Hahaha. I didn't edit soon enough. ;¬)

edit. overlooked the point.

You could have said something similar to the original post (Edgar) of this sub thread since he was saying: "If you are not a fan the round Fisher Prize buttons and prefer a more professional look like ProTools then swap them out with your own, something like ... " What about the very professional developers who put in their time and sweat to provide us with Logic's GUI? It's rather negative to dis them as unprofessional and "Fisher Prize". In fact, your post was considerably more negative and aggressive than SlamTheCrank. Of course, I agree with you that we should remain positive, encouraging, and helpful. I think some of these GUI mods are fabulous. But to slam, uh, "Slam The Crank", you're sort of contradicting your own desires for good behavior in this forum. Agreed. I personally think Apple nailed it. Logic now has (IMO) the best UI of any DAW. It's useful to know how these mods are done, but I can't say any of this seems useful. My opinion though. To each their own. If it works for someone else, more power to you.

I'm not sure that Logic will recall the 0.0ms setting when you open your project again, so you may need to reset that parameter each time you open the project. I'm not sure if that's changed since I last read up on people doing this. Good luck finding what you're after. It does save the 0.0ms setting if you save it as your own preset. Really very strange behave. Ahh, ok. I must have missed that. I played around with it a little after I posted this, and I noticed in logic 9 you can save it as #default now...at least it worked for me. Good to know it works both ways!

No pan law (0db) = louder panned center. Pan law (choice) = levels balanced automagically to your chosen flavor, with an emphasis on the volume being perceived as the same panned left or right as panned center. It's pretty simple. Set it to zero. Mix "to your ear". Change it to -3db, and listen. Or, mix in ProTools and bring it into logic 7.0 and take note if there's a difference. Even if you mix "to your ear" in ProTools, without the same pan law in another DAW, it will sound different. The whole point of this thread was that logic's audio engine was being trashed by a well respected engineer, who obviously uses a different app. The engineer I spoke with said essentially the same thing: "ProTools sounds wider, etc..." (Ultimately, I don't care about petty DAW squabbling. I like logic, I'll stick with logic. I'm not threatened by PT) If you're in logic, and you never leave logic, then yeah, I suppose it doesn't matter so long as you like what you hear, but I switched from 0 to -3db compensated (in logic) and I noticed a pretty big difference. It worked for me, but to each their own. Maybe I suck, but the pan law was the magical "sound awesomer" button. Who knows. Seems to me that if it doesn't matter, why do we get the option? Some DAW's give the option for -4.5db or -6db. Why? eMagic/Apple never offered it as an option until 7.1. Why change the default from 0db to -3db? Especially if it doesn't make a difference... Most of us never knew this existed, so if you've been using Logic from before 7, did you notice the difference in yer mixins' as the default switched? Did you find yourselves doing anything differently? When you switch between options, do you hear a difference? Just questions. No right or wrong answers. I think it makes a big difference.

I own DUY DaD Tape, and it's not bad. I like the sound of it, but it's pretty spendy (~$400). You can try it on a trial basis unrestricted to see if it's what you're looking for. http://www.duystore.com/com/tape.html Otherwise, you can use Logic's Tape Delay effect with delay disabled (set "delay" in upper left corner to 0.0ms), so you get the "sound of tape" without delay. I'm not sure that Logic will recall the 0.0ms setting when you open your project again, so you may need to reset that parameter each time you open the project. I'm not sure if that's changed since I last read up on people doing this. Good luck finding what you're after.

The nine inch nails app navigates their own forums pretty well. It would be nice to have something like that for the logic forums. Anyone familiar with the nin app?

Yeah, I got that error on day 1 and meant to post about it but spaced it out. I was trying to edit phase locked drums.
