  1. Not totally sure, but I don't think so. LPX does what you tell it to, and you do so in setting your preferences... So if you asked for 10 backups, it will keep 10 backups I believe.
  2. I use a hardware switcher too. But anyway, if you really wanna A B two outputs in a software manner, 1-click way (and seamlessly, so that there's not even any audio click when you do it), here the way: * Instead of routing your whole mix to Stereo Out, route it to a bus (Logic will create a dedicated aux return, which I'll name "Pre-out" below); * Set Pre-Out to "no output", and create two sends on it, two two different buses (I'll call the automatically created aux returns "Out A" and "Out B" below), both sends at unity gain; Faders on Out A and Out B at unity gain too * Route Out A to Stereo Out (usually equal to outputs 1-2 of your interface) * Route Out B to ouputs 3-4 of your interface. Alt-solo (option key + click the solo button) Out A or Out B in the Mixer (alt-soloing one soloes it and mutes anything else except hatever feeds the soloed one) and you have instant A/Bing of your two outputs. PS: In Logic Preferences, I recall that somewhere there's a setting where you can chose output 3-4 to mirror output 1-2 (can't recall exactly where that's located though, I'm not in front of my Logic computer). You should make sure that this option is de-selected for the above to work as expected.
  3. Thanks for your feedback Atlas007, at least we have a fix. What is so weird is that I had never come across this in numerous years of use, only very recently. Anyway, a bit annoying, but no big deal Thanks!
  4. Hey all, Hope you're good & safe. I've come across a weird behaviour on a few occasions lately, and though it's no big deal, I felt like I'd share it here and see whether others of you folks are experiencing the same. I'm still running LPX 10.4.8, currently on Catalina 10.5.5 (I can't tell for sure whether what I describe below has been occuring after I've upgraded Catalina from 10.5.3 to 10.5.5 - had skipped 10.5.4 in any case - or whether it was already happening before the upgrade). Usually, my audio preferences are set to "System settings" both for input and output, and I take care of selecting an audio source or destination (interface, built-in outs, headphones, BT crap speakers to test the rendering of a mix, whatever) in the Audio Midi Setup app. Usually works like a charm. The weird use case is the following: * Drag & drop a song's stems to a new, empty project, LPX creates audio tracks for each stem, all starting at 1 1 1 1 as usual; all stems are same audio format in each and every aspect; * Hit play. You couldn't have it more simple I guess Now, the weird part is that sometimes, when hitting play, not all tracks are played! Some are, some aren't. None are muted on whatever in the main window, but their audio just doesn't come through to the Stereo out bus (these tracks channel strip level meter stays inactive, too), it seems to be on a random basis (meaning is a given session, those that don't play back are random, but constant, there's no change in that untill I do something). Also, sometimes all things are fine from the very beginning, but next time I import stems to a newly created empty project, the thing above will happen. If I go to Audio Preferences, and change the output to something different from System settings (i.e. select the output that I had chosen in the Midi Audio Setup app), once core audio as restarted, everything is solved and all tracks play as expected. Has anyone come across such a thing? Cheers.
  5. Hi, chiming in to add to this. You don't even have to have upgraded to 10.5 (which I didn't do yet) to encounter this. Since 10.5 is OUT, LPX 10.4.8 randomly behaves like this, on projects whcih indeed do use Dummer tracks and dumk kit designer.
  6. Is "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" turned on in the Snap menu? Sorry about that, I'm so stupid, I had it checked (while I was sure it wasn't). Unchecking it did the trick. Thanks. What's puzzling is that, at this location, all stems are silent (supposed to be zero, but anyway... Thanks a lot!
  7. Hi all, I recall having seen something about that in the past, maybe it had been (or is still) a bug, thought it had long been solved, I never had to bother with that until now, and though I used the search tool of the forum there are so many posts with 'split' and 'region' that I can't find an answer that is relevant to my actual issue. Sorry for creating this new post for something which probably is a known thing, but I'm in a hurry, too. A mixing engineer delivered me stems of a song, but the audio doesn't start at 1 1 1 1. Say, for instance, it starts at 1 3 1 1. I've imported all the stems in a project, and I therefore would want to split all of them at exactly 1 3 1 1, delete what's on the left, and then move everything back to 1 1 1 1. The most simple thing I could think of, which should take 2 seconds, is to move the playhead to 1 3 1 1, select all, then split at playhead but...when zooming in to sample level (and checking in the region even editor), not all regions (and, actually, very few of them) are split at exactly that position, but at a different one instead (and almost never the same, from stem to stem). Difference is a few samples or ticks. I have to abort my process, otherwise this would misalign the stems from one another, if I move everything at the right of the split back to 1 1 1 1 (since the starting position of the split regions isn't the same on all stem tracks now). I tried everything I could think of, such as split at locators (instead of playhead), select all regions and move their left border, etc, to no avail. How should I do this in a bulletproof way that has my audio start at 1 1 1 1 as it should, and all stems stay aligned? Thanks in advance!
  8. Oh, sorry about that, I should have known (and remembered). Thanks a million
  9. David, Thanks for confirming. I'm a little surprised that I'm the first one to notice this. I'll post a bug report to Apple. Could you remind me what the link is?
  10. David, Thanks, I should have mentioned (it was obvious to me): everything's checked (except "Include Movie", but there's no movie in that project).Note that all other assets DO get copied (factory UB instruments and samples, other factory ESX24 instrument and samples, impulse responses, etc). It's only the factory DKD instrument and samples that don't. Could you try create an empty project, load that producer kit and a drummer track, create a dummer region, turn it into a midi region (this just that, in the end you have a plain virtual instrument track with the Brooklyn+ DKD instrument on it, and a midi region). Then save everything as... and tell me whether anything related to the DKD is saved in the project folder on your end? Thanks!
  11. Hi all, Sorry to ask something that may be obvious to many here, I notice it for the first time, having to share a Logic project (folder type) with someone else for the first time too: When I save all assets into the project (folder), I don't see anything related to DKD (Brooklyn+ producer kit). I have all my other sampler instruments and samples, but not that. However, I know that DKD is built upon ESX24, but I don't see any DKD instrument or samples, nor any ESX24 instrument or samples related to this drum kit, that would sit into my project folder. Is this normal? If it's a known issue, is there a way to manually copy the instrument and samples into the project (in other words, where to they sit in the Library)? If it's not an issue, how do I ensure the guy I'm working with will have no trouble when opening the project (he works on LPX 10.4.4, while I work on 10.4.8)? Should I just tell him to make sure he has downloaded all LPX factory sound libraries? TIA for your answers, Arnaud

    AIFF-C?

    Never had any such problem with an AIFF, but good to know, as David said (and fisherking's work around would come to mind immediately if one file wasn't editable). Now, one big thing in favor of AIFF file vs VAW is that you can embed tags in them (while you can't in a WAV file). This may sound a minute difference, but it may be critical in some instances, such as in sync licensing conditions.
  13. I guess so, though I wouldn't be able to tell for sure.
