  1. I am, as of late, having problem when recording in the cycle mode. I must have changed something in snap, drag or recording prMy recording starts in the 1 bar preroll. When I am finished recording I have an empty bar covering the last bar of my previous track. I want the newly recorded track to start where I have the cycle set to and not one bar before. 10.8.1. Mac mini. I must have inadvertently changed some pref. setting. Im set to Smart/snap. Drag: no overlap. I want the newe recording to be independent new track and not merged with the previous track. Also don’t want the new cycle track to be merged with the previous track. please help
  2. Can someone help me from having to type in my password every time I open a Logic program. I receive this message AUHostingCompatibilityService(Logic Pro) wants to make changes - touch ID or enter your pw to allow this - and I don't know why or how to get rid of it

    Volume problem

    Hi again....most of the things my that my novation expert tried didn't alleviate my volume controller problem. We rebooted logic from the app store and he removed the mkII from the control setup. The distortion problem has seemed to have gone away (at least for now. Still working with him on the volume problem. Will keep you informed. Seems the controller had some kind of bug which cause the distortion/squelch sound? I'll let you know how we progress. Thanks for now though!

    Volume problem

    yes I did. The midi monitor showed nothIng bogus being generated. That's why the novation guy thought the proble must b e a logic setting. Do you mean I can turn the Aftertouch message off on the MkII keyboard itself or....in the logic program? Could you elaborate as to how to do this. I will address this issue with the novation guys as well. As always thanks for your assistance.

    Volume problem

    Hi Atlas007. I use the novation SL64 MkII. All your suggestions? I can't find them on this thread, Maybe you could send again if relevant? However, I spent hrs yesterday with the Novation specialist. He consulted with his colleagues. Here is their recommendation since i use catalina and have trashed the Automap which isn't compatible, I will try it today and see if the distortion as well as my volume drop due to creation of CC 11 event by hard pressure on keyboard goes away. Thanks so much for your help I'll get back to you when I've tried their suggestions. Here's what they wrote last night, Hi Jim, Thanks for getting in touch via live chat earlier. To confirm, as the aftertouch (expression) data isn't appearing in MIDI Monitor, this will isolate the issue to the Control Surface setup or possibly an assignment acting up. As you are not using Automap, please could you remove your SL MK2 device from the Control Surface setup in Logic? Should you wish to remap the SL controllers in Logic, you can manually assign these as per our guide: Manually assigning controls in Logic Pro X without using Automap/Logic Scripts Then, to ensure the aftertouch message hasn't been accidentally remapped in Logic, please try setting the Controller Assignments to default: Use controller assignments Easy view in Logic Pro https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/logicpro/ctls71c31487/mac Use controller assignments Expert view in Logic Pro https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/logicpro/ctls71c3162b/mac I hope this helps. Please feel free to let me know how you get on with the above.

    Volume problem

    Hi David, I think I failed to send the 2nd attachment (audio file correctly. Midi distortion.....I don't see a way. The distortion occurs when I go down an octave to the low Bb note. I am not finding a way to send an mp3 audio file attachment on the formum message. When I hit add files and it shows me my choices on my desktop, the audio bounce is greyed out ???? What am I doing wrong? Or must I send it in an email?

    Volume problem

    Hi David and all others who have recently tried to help me. I spoke too soon when saying that my problem was solved. It seems to have worked for a while after following the instructions that my Novation expert gave me (resetting the Audio/midi preferences) but the volume/expression problem has crept back and resurfaced. I tried to duplicate what I did the first time to rectify the situation but this time it isn't working Sorry to say I'm still searching for a solution. I am including 2 attachments. One a screenshot for the first problem and attach. #2 (An audio file) for the 2nd problem). I am still having the same issues with my midi "unwantedly" putting an expression event into my midi recording and making the. volume cut off. The only way I can regain the volume of the pluin is to either choose another sound. (volume reverts to normal) or go into the editor and raise the expression level to 127. this happens on any and all projects and any and all plug ins, be they logic or 3rd party plug ins. AI am including an attach. showing the events list where the expresion event appears as I apply more and more pressure to the key during recording. That is my first issue. I have also included an audio mp3 bounce to show my 2nd problem. I am getting a breakup/distortion of the midi input on any and all projects and software instruments be they logic or 3rd party. As I progressively add new notes to a chord .....(In my example a bass Bb an octave lower at the end of the chord), the instrument distorts or overloads, making a screeching sound. It only happens when I play a series of notes. What is causing this? Please help

    Volume problem

    Hi Guys, My Novation troubleshooting expert told me to reset the preferences. I did so and for now. (hope it stays that way!!!!) the volume is not dropping off/out unwantedly. I sent the message from him for others who might be having this problem. Thanks for all your help. You guys do a great service and I much appreciate it! Jimmy

    Volume problem

    Hi Atlas007. Lots of good things o try here. First of all, yes. It's my Logic B3 that is causing the problem. I made a copy of my controller surface setup window. (see Att. 1). I also clicked bypass all controllers as you suggested. Will see if this helps. However...bypassing controllers means I can/\'t use them for anything else either? Is this a solution in the long run? Also Control changes 7/10 controls Vol/Pan of channel strip objects box was off. I turned it on? Is that right. See Att. 2) Maybe you could tell if something here in control panel (Att. 1) is giving out this bogus volume changing message. Can I delete something here? If so please tell me what and how (for dummies please). For now I have also used the modifier to filter out 11Expression messages. Changed a lot. Bit confused. Hope I'm on the right path. Thanks guys!!!

    OK! Thanks will try that. I'll see if that solves the problem. Maybe my keyboard has a hardware defect? I'll use your go around suggestion for now since I very rarely use Expression anyway. Merci!
