  1. Yeah, or you can just ride the fader with the mouse - no hardware required (though hardware is more tactile and precise etc...)
  2. Do you mean to the *left* of the arrange window? They are the same channel strips as the mixer, you can change the regular and highlighted versions separately.
  3. thanks, I eventually will setup a control surface so that I can do that more comfortably which I in general prefer to drawing in automation, I tried to hook up my Steinberg CC121 but Logic did not immediately pick it up. I may get an iPad (yes , unbelievably I don't have one) and use the new Apple Remote or one of the apps out there, so that I can do at least two channels , the CC121 only supports one channel at a time Sure, but this isn't about control surfaces per se. You wanted to automate a channel. Anything in Logic that is "automatable", including mixer channels, plugin settings and so on, can be performed directly (in eg touch mode), done by a control surface, or drawn in automation lanes in the arrange page - as Eric mentioned, in this case you have a channel you want to automate - you just didn't know how to access an automation lane for it. Now you do! (There are other ways too..)
  4. If you have the drum parts in a multi-output configuration, then the hihat has it's own aux channel which you can automate and ride the fader of the same as any other channel.
  5. That's not really a good tool to do this kind of thing - you really should be using an image editor that can open the file, and edit the contents, and save it in the same format preserving the transparency in the file. Photoshop (or a similar image editing tool) is the correct tool for the job - Aperture and Lightroom are photo organisation and manipulation tools, and are not really suited to this kind of work...
  6. It's a good job I have a key command to access my key command window, because there is an issue with my prefs that LPX isn't reading them correctly and thus the menu that contains the key command window option is displayed blank... If I reset them or trash the prefs the menu command comes back, but when I import my own key commands set or get LPX to read my existing prefs, the key command menu is drawn like this:
  7. No you haven't. BTW - You'd have to go some to beat the knowledge and experience here - there *are* indeed plenty of undocumented features or behaviours, but very few that aren't known to at least *someone* here... This is a very Logic-nerd-centric bunch!
  8. If you really desperately need the 700MB or so of disk space that the LP9 application uses, then go ahead and remove it, but if you're that desperate for space you've probably got bigger issues. The content is a separate matter, it's all available from LPX so only you know if you need or want to keep it, particularly if you want to load old projects that require the older content. I can see no real reason to want to delete LP9 otherwise - even if you don't use it anymore, one day you might need to (for instance, to access a 32-bit plugin, or old project that's giving issues in LPX or to access a feature that's been removed in LPX, or for compatibility with someone else who isn't on LPX and so on).
  9. Load the second instance, and move (drag) all the presets in this bank to keys that are unused in the first bank. Assuming you have no overlap, it should work...
  10. You can only load one bank at a time but I'm sure you can compile your own bank from your favourite patches in the other banks.
  11. Well there you go! RAM is relatively inexpensive though, so maybe you should be kind to your machine rather than running it that lean... your performance will improve for sure.
  12. It does. Open the track stack and see the busses. It loads a couple of EQ's, a compressor (bypassed) and a delay...
  13. They are just audio track settings, aren't they, designed for recording a guitar part I guess. They send to busses and load some effects up on the busses. THat's what I assumed, I haven't looked at them in detail. Maybe you are expecting these to be sampler instruments, rather than audio track settings?
  14. I don't think you understood what lologic was saying - which is the correct way to do it.
  15. If "a friend tells you something" and cannot back it up with understandable, plausible and factual evidence, then most likely they probably don't know what they are talking about it, and just heard someone else say it and believed them and are just rehashing the same information.
