Please excuse my continued confusion, frustration and downright anger about the way MIDI is now recorded in Logic. I will try and control myself. Maybe some of you long time users have the same feeling, or maybe I'm an outlier. Or just a liar... but, I digress.
Here's what I want (as was possible pre 10.3) and can't seem to achieve with the new OVERLAPPING MIDI recording behavior regime.
Record on the same lane as an existing region. Mark the area for recording with a cycle, or just start and have 1 measure preroll, or punch in while rolling. Have the old data eliminated IN THE AREA I'm recording. Have the new recording create a new region where previous data existed. Have that region accurately fill the area I've recorded in. (various setting wipe and or create regions outside the area I've designated to be recorded over, or join the new recording with previous or subsequent regions)
Can anyone share their settings or if you are suffering the same issues and have created workarounds. My current workaround is to create 3 lanes for each instrument and alternate so that unwanted deleting and joining of regions doesn't happen. This uses screen space, unwanted controller overlaps and difficult editing feedback with so many regions scattered around. (other issues, too, but I won't get into it.)
I apologize as I've ranted about this before.. but I my workflow has been slowed down by at least 20% dealing with this unneeded feature...
Previously (Pre 10.4) it worked perfectly (Just like an analog tape machine). In LP9 and before, you would choose "Replace" (the orange button with an "X" in it) and it would behave just like an analog tape machine, only with an UNDO button.
I know we just march forward, but my feet are getting very sore.
Thanks
