Hi, I bought Mainstage pretty much solely to use Autosampler for sampling hardware synths but, so far, I cannot get it to work properly at all. Whatever I do it seem to let one not 'hang' for a ridiculous amount of time (like 30 seconds or so) when there is dead silence, then the next note will cut off really quickly without waiting for the release at all. It pretty much alternates between these two whilst sampling(!) I have tried loads of different settings. I have put a noise gate before AutoSampler on the channel strip. Input gain is as load as I can get it without clipping. I *think* it's something to do with the way AutoSampler is measuring the loudness of the incoming signal as when I messed around with putting a limiter before AutoSampler on the channel strip I seemed to get better results but I was really having to slam the signal and destroy the dynamics. Any help appreciated as I'm pretty much at my wit's end and this software just doesn't seem fit for purpose at the moment. I'm on MainStage 3.4.3

Hi, For some reason since upgrading to X I cannot get the scissors tool to work in the piano roll - it just does nothing! I have 'snap' set to 'smart' (have also tried other settings) and quantize off. Whatever I do I can't get the note I click on to split - nothing happens. I can split regions fine with the tool in the arrange window. Can anyone shed any light on this? I've tried searching to no avail! cheers

Thanks for the reply! Away from my computer now but will give that a shot. I've been using the hardware monitoring on my audio interface as a workaround...

Hi, New to Logic X after lots of experience with Logic 9 and have an issue that's really confusing me. I have an audio track set to record. I can hear (software monitor) the input fine. However, as soon as I play the song I can no longer hear the input on the track. If I am recording I hear it fine and if the song is stopped it's fine - if the song is just playing I see the input monitor fine but there's no audio. Anyone have any suggestions. I have enabled 'software monitoring' and disabled 'input monitoring only for selected track'. This is in a project opened from Logic 9. I haven't tried a fresh X project but will try that in a bit...

OK - I've figured it out. You can turn tracks on/off in 10.x which you couldn't in 9. All my muted tracks in my L9 were loaded as 'off' when I opened them in L10 and for some reason I couldn't see those on/off buttons. Now I can see them and if I turn the track on it works as expected. Maybe this is as I always had Logic 9 mute settings set to 'CPU saving - slow response'?

Haha - nope, nothing soloed. Regions aren't muted either. Neither are the audio objects the tracks are assigned to.

Hi, I am in the process of migrating from 9 to 10.1. So far no real issues apart from one - when I open a v9 project in 10.1 muted tracks appear to stay muted whatever I do. The mute icon isn't highlighted in the track header but the track is greyed out and won't play. Drag the regions to a track that wasn't muted in v9 and they play fine. Weirdly if I have on of these muted tracks highlighted and create a new track the new track also displays this 'impossible to unmute' behaviour. If I select a previously unmuted track and create a new track it works perfectly. Does anyone know of a way to unmute these seemingly permanently muted tracks? I'm probably just missing something in the 10.1 paradigm...
