For some really weird reason, I don't even have that follow tempo check box in my app. I'm on 10.2.1

Any ideas? Is there some kind of "protect video" option somewhere? Or some option that I need to have toggled?

Hey guys, I have a Trailer I'm scoring and I've got the edit imported with the temp music track that was used. I've gone through and beat mapped the tempo changes so I can hit the cue points I want, but I'm noticing that the tempo changes are causing the video to playback differently and now the video playback is out of sync with it's audio. How do I lock the video from making any changes, so it's only the tempo grid that is changing, and not affecting any picture or any sound?

Yeah right after I posted I made that connection. Working well now.

I'm trying to write volume automation using my midi controller controlled via the controller assignments, but something that keeps happening is, I'll be riding a fader, and then all of a sudden it will jump back to 0. This has ruined more than a couple automation passes and is getting annoying. I'm assuming it's because Logic is using some kind of threshold to determine how long I must be changing the fader for it to register as being in write mode. It seems that if I leave the fader in place it will do it. Is there a way to change this behavior? Or lengthen that time threshold?

I see, you're totally right. It seems to be "Select forward after selection" rather than "select forward from playhead"'. Good to know.

Cool. got it all in there.

I'm trying to use the Shift-F 'select forward' command in the piano roll editor and when I hit the command some of the notes behind the cursor are being selected as well. Is there a threshold somewhere?

Not even really that. It changes the way you work. If you come up to a sound, and you really need to mold it in different ways in the context of a mix, it's good to be able to do that from a clean slate, not having to take into account that previously downstream in your mix you have an EQ, 3 Distortion FX, and 2 Reverbs all automated to turn on and off at their appropriate times. It is either that, or you break everything into way more tracks than are necessary, and again you have a problem of inefficiency. So really, I'd say that's crucial for this kind of stuff, which at the end of the day I knowingly bear the cross for trying to have the mix, the sound design, and the score all live in one Project on one App. Which I realize is an infinitely rare case, where I'm doing all three myself, and in tadem with eachother. Manipulating the entire audio palette really. Just waxing poetic now, but I appreciate how quickly you guys jump in with ideas or suggestions. This forum is really awesome.

Yeah, that's what I'll have to do, but just imagine like in a typical mixing scenario, you have dialogue, sound FX, ambience, sound design, etc..... It would be pretty easy to max out any given track with Insert FX, even if you are switching them on and switching them off.

I can't speak for Cubase, but in Nuendo, you can apply an Insert FX stack to a region just like you can a track. It all stays live, so there is no mixdown step or anything. You can go back and edit it as necessary. Of course, over time this will begin to weigh on the CPU, which is why they also have the nice feature of "Freezing" the stack, so it's the same as a mixdown, but you can unfreeze and tweak the parameters some more. It's honestly a really really handy feature and I'm bummed not to have it.

Gotcha. So, if I'm editing a piece of a larger audio file, say I have dialogue for an entire scene, and I snip just a small region and edit that in an external editor, did Logic make a new smaller audio file to send over, or is it destructively editing a portion of my bigger file?

Ah! Awesome. I'll look into that. Curious how it's handing it between programs. And how easy it would be to swap the effect file back in.

Is there any way to setup a path to an Audio Editor, so that you can do the equivalent of an 'Open in Soundtrack Pro' but with your own audio editor?

I'm going through and mixing and audio editing a movie soundtrack, along with the music, and was wondering if there was any way to apply an insert effect to just a region. I seem to remember Nuendo being able to do this. I know that the old way was to select a region, do the ol' "Open in Soundtrack Pro", apply the effect, and then pop back into Logic. Now that Soundtrack is no more, anyone have any clever methods" Obviously in most cases this isn't too big of a deal, because you'd want the effects on the track, but in a case like work with dialogue and many sound effects, it would be nice if there was a way I could manipulate say the EQ on a per region basis, without doing a bunch of automation drawing ballet behind the scenes.
