That is very interesting. I probably would have not found that out as a fix for my problem. I really, really appreciate it! EDIT: I appreciate your answer but that did nothing. Back to the drawing board. RE-EDIT: I got it all figured out now! What you told me worked. I was enabling flex via the inspector window instead of clicking "flex" in the top bar. For some reason it worked! Thanks again.

Howdy do! I mostly use LP9 as a big ole tape deck, hardly ever tapping into it's functions as a PRODUCTION suite. A while ago, I stumbled upon a tutorial on chopping audio in LP9 from Sound on Sound. The tutorial is well written but I cannot manage to get to the "Slice at Transient Markers" option when I CNTRL + click (or right click) the audio regions after setting up my markers in the sample editor. Link to the Sound on Sound tutorial: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar10/articles/logicworkshop_0310.htm Everything works as described in the article up until the "Chop At Transients" section. "Now that your Transient markers are bang-on, go back to the Arrange page and Control-click on your breakbeat region. From the pop-up menu, choose ‘Slice at Transient Markers’. Logic now automatically chops your breakbeat into single hits. " That is exactly the step that I get 'lost' at. For some reason, on my machine, the "Slice at Transient Markers" option does NOT show up. Am I missing something or is there a setting inside LP9 that I'm over-looking some how? Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is the first time I've stepped outside of my comfort zone in Logic and end up hitting a wall, so to say. Fear not, I'm far too stubborn in my ways to let something like this affect me too much. As a drummer, I'm really really curious about this. Chopping/slicing my own breaks would be FUN. Thanks a lot y'all, Justin

C'mon folks. Really! This is THE place for Logic Pro/Mainstage help. I'd really appreciate someone letting me know what is up as this could either save me tons or cost me tons. Very sorry. Won't ask a question on a "HELP" forum again! Peace!

Hey all, Well, the day's finally upon me - I'm going to put my Korg ESX up for sale, mostly due to the fact I don't need ANY MORE hardware sequencing power, but I still do (really badly) want a sampler for speech/vocal parts in my electronic music. I understand I could record to Logic and then import what ever audio clip, automate what ever effects and BLAM! I have a sample inside a final production. I'm looking for something more "real" than that, as I do not use any software when making the bulk of my tracks. I like to keep the feeling of "playing an instrument", hence I tweak my Machinedrum & Monomachine as I'm recording into Logic. I REALLY like being able to hit a one-shot speech sample and loading it up with delay & what ever effect... now, the time comes where I must get rid of the ESX. Question here is - Is there any way to use Logic/Mainstage as a sampler (with effects) as I'm recording (...into Logic Pro 9) with my hardware boxes? I'm looking into the Novation ZeRO SL MKII as a MIDI controller. Has faders, knobs AND a few pads for triggering from. Could someone explain to me (since this is the FIRST time I've ever thought of my DAW as something other than a high-tech 'tape' recorder) what I should do to get this going? Run down - How would I use a Novation ZeRO SL controller to trigger and control samples & effects for said samples while I'm recording into Logic Pro 9? Would I be running Mainstage to do all my live sampling from while I'm recording into Logic at the same time? Can I do it all from inside of Logic whilst recording? Let a brotha know, purdy please? Thanks a ton guys

Hey all, Just curious how I use samples I've downloaded! Retarded question, I understand I've just never tried before. More curious how to assign drum sounds to different keys and such... or even if I have to. I'm a total n00b at making electronic music so this is of great help! Thanks a ton (again)

Pretty sure the mac mini will be able to do everything you need. That thing is a viable little system, not to mention comes at a rather "un-mac" price considering it's not an ipod or any other i-crap!

Keeping the drum heads tuned to the same tension is a overlooked trick amongst us drummers. I think it's something that most find out in time, as their tuning ear gets better. The physics between the drum heads are nuts, and THAT'S where most drummers f*ck themselves... they never get a natural feel for it all! Also.... tuning really "unevenly" can create a phasy sound. Choked, if you will. I don't have any samples of any of that, but as a long time drummer, I just wanted to let you know that's not an usual method of tuning drums. Especially in jazz, a lot of drummers prefer to use coated heads on top and bottom, tune 'em evenly at a higher tension. Gives the drums a tonal presence without the rowdy sustain! Food for thought!

Food for thought: Logic Pro 9 is kicking some ass on the 13" MBP with 4GB RAM. Very reliable, no "real" crashes yet besides my overload tests! That said, I'm saving for an iMac to work on both! Think that set-up would be sexy!

+1 for AC-7 They also make the same app for the ipad which is bad ass. More fingers on screen = more fader action! Glad there's some good developers out there. None of the hardware DAW controllers feel right/have a nice footprint, so this is solid gold! <3 mixing with my eyes closed

Does anyone else have any opinions/words about "stay in green" tracking? To me this just seems like simple, obvious physics (having read about it). Anyone put this in motion yet? I am not with my rig right now so I can't test it all out. Looks to be a solid way of getting extra volume outta tracks sans some weird clipping or peaking issues. Thanks for the idea mate!

Well, got that figured out... now I just can't seem to get any sound to run into the channel with the CST on it! Ejole!

Still very confused... cannot figure how to load this downloaded CST.

Hey! It's Rubix. Made a profile to correlate with my Gearslutz profile! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction matey. Much appreciated.
