Hi All, I have imported a recorded chord progression on acoustic guitar as an audio region. It is mainly polyphonic material (5 to 6 guitar strings strummed). Now I want to transpose it, just a half-step/semitone down. Any recommendations as to how I can re-pitch the whole guitar part down a semitone within Logic Pro X, and still have it sound decent? I've tried the pitch shifter plugin but that didn't work too well. I'm currently running an older version of Logic Pro X 10.2.4 on an older machine. Thanks, zachyun

Hi All, I am attempting to build a drum kit out of my own samples in Alchemy. I have an open and closed hi-hat imported into two sources that I wish to set up to choke- that is the closed hi hat would cut off the sound of the ringing open hi hat. I can't seem to work it out. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated. cheers, zachyun

thanks volovicg! will definitely give this a go.

Hi Guys, I am trying to figure out how to map a knob or slider on my controller to perform and potentially record tempo changes to a pre-recorded EXS24 track. In my case it is a solo piano region quantised to a set tempo 114bpm. Now I want to vary the tempo throughout the piece to add expression, somewhat common in solo piano pieces. Any advice would be appreciated. zachyun

Hi All, When I monitor and record new audio (in my case I'm playing electric guitar) alongside a pre-recorded drum track, the resulting new audio region is out of time to the rest of the music when I play it back. I've tried it with loop recording/no loop/punch in, it always records milliseconds earlier and requires me to move/nudge the region to come in later in time manually. I know I am playing in time correctly when I record because I'm monitoring it, and when I realign my audio region with the rest of the music it sounds fine. It's as if the region is not being correctly placed onto the track once it's recorded. Any advice to fix this would be appreciated. Thanks. zachyun

Hi All, I have a solo piano composition project where I am using the EXS24, and have meticulously edited note velocities and humanised the part to resemble a good sounding solo pianist. Recently I had completed editing all regions to the point where the entire piece sounded very good. However today, when I open up the project, it plays back irregularly in that it's rhythms/phrasing have become disjointed. It's like what were once fluid and smooth 8th note passages are now disjointed sounding/out-of-time, as if I have replaced my once great piano player with an incompetent player that barely knows the piece and has problems reading music. I have tried rebooting my machine and restarting Logic Pro X but the problem remains thus far. The problem also seems to be inconsistent i.e. if a certain section sounds disjointed, then if I subsequently replay that section it might be disjointed in a different way or it sounds coherent again. Does anyone know why this happens? zachyun

Thanks Eriksimon. Sorry for the delay RedBaron, I believe I am monitoring through Logic.. However I will investigate this further to see if anything else in addition is going on..

Hi Guys, I hope someone can help me. So I was just recently inspired to play guitar so I fired up Logic 9, plugged in my electric guitar through my audio interface, and attempted to record a riff. I used Manual Sync mode to tap in a tempo successfully, so far so good. Then I set the count-in to be one bar before it starts recording so I can prepare my hands to play the guitar riff. Then I record the riff for 4 bars with the metronome clicking away as a guide. After the 4 bars, I am happy with my performance. However, when I rewind Logic and play back my riff, it is all out of time (early in my case) with the metronome! I was certain that I played it in time whilst recording. That's the first problem. Without an answer as to why it's out of time, I attempted to trim the region to a 4-bar loop and align it to the time grid manually. Upon attempting this, I encountered my second problem of placing/snapping the region to the grid at the start of the first bar. I tried various snap modes such as smart. bar, beat, division etc and dragging it to different bars, but I couldn't get it to snap to bar x-1-1-1 i.e. start of any given bar. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks. zachyun

Hi Guys, I have a problem where in Logic Pro 9, I might open up a project and make NO changes whatsoever. However, when I close the project it asks me 'Do you want to save the changes you made.... '. Is anybody else having this issue? I literally open it up, do nothing, then close it and it still asks me. It is very annoying. zachyun

Thanks triplets. Now that I'm able to flex away to my heart's content, I've realised while altering timing for my backing vocal track, employing not too drastic stretching causes pops to occur. I thought it might be related to my setting on the audio buffer size, but checking that I've got it maxed at 1024. Any idea why this occurs and anyway to correct?

I think I got it. Had to choose the mode of Flex in the parameters box, then had to subsequently tick the Flex box that appears. Quite cumbersome in design but it works. Thanks triplets.

triplets: tried it but no luck. Made no difference at all. It seems like it only gave me one chance to analyse and use Flex, and because I didn't save my project, subsequent attempts fail... or am I overlooking something else?

Hi guys, I have a problem enabling Flex time in Logic 9. What happened was I wanted to turn it on for one backing vocal track, however I mistakenly had multiple tracks selected for which it analysed all of them when choosing 'monophonic', which I did not want to do. So, rightly or wrongly, I closed the project without saving so I can re-attempt turning on Flex for the one track only once I re-open. However, upon doing so, Flex has failed to 're-analyse' the track I want, and when in Flex View, there are no white vertical bars representing the transients on my region for which I could potentially insert Flex markers. Hovering my pointer over the audio regions also fails to change into a Flex tool i.e. I can't do anything. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated! zachyun

Hi guys, This was previously mentioned but that thread did not resolve my issue. I am playing around with Ultrabeat, recording a few successive takes to create multiple MIDI regions per take. However, at each pass I can still hear the previous take I recorded while I record the current take. At the end of the whole process, I still get a take folder with all the takes but it is a total distraction to hear the previous take as you record the next one. Under project settings > Recording > MIDI Overlapping Recordings, I have selected 'Create take folders'. How can I set it up to not hear the previous take as I record new ones? I am using Logic Pro 9. cheers, zachyun

Thanks guys. I understand and agree with the both of you. I will attempt to clean things up and see how I go..
