OK I figured it out. For some reason the kick, clap and hi hat channels were not showing on the meter when they went off, just ultrabeat was showing on the meter. I went into ultrabeat, set the drums back to sub group 1, deleted the kick, clap and hi hat channel then switched the kick to sub group 1, the clap to sub group 2, and the hi hat to sub group 3. I then pressed the + button on ultrabeat to bring up 3 channels which is the kick, clap and hi hat, set the compressor to the kick channel and it is now working as it should.

Nope, the problem is still there it has came back. I don't know what is going on. Here is the logic file now set up with the settings you recommended. Pied piper remix LPH 2.zip

I want the ultrabeat kick to trigger the compressors sidechain, as I want to use some sidechain compression to make it stand out more. OK, this is really weird, before when I selected bus 2 the compressor was not recognising the trigger and not working, I just tried selecting bus 2 and it is working as it should. Thank you for your help and fixing my problem, you are a legend :)

There is no drummer region I mean ultrabeat. If I copy the drum pattern from bar 17 to bar 5 like you do the compressor is still not triggered. I just want the compressor to work throughout the track, is it possible for you to copy the drums so they trigger the compressor for me and share it on here as I am having trouble doing it?

That is odd as I have just copy and pasted the drum pattern I created, so I don't see why it isn't trigerring before bar 17. How do I make it trigger before bar 17 throughout the whole track?

Thank you it is working now. Why does it only work when you start playback from bar 17 though thats a little odd?

I have tried setting it to kick 2 and it is still not working, could you see if it works when you change it to kick 2?

Here is the file, hopefully you can see what is wrong Pied piper remix LPH.zip

I have tried to exaggerate the settings and it is still not recognising the kick going off, I got round it by sending the kick to a bus and sidechaining the compressor to that bus but yes I can share the file. How do I share a file with someone on here?

Here is a screenshot of how I have sidechained the bass's compressor

Hi everyone, I have a project I am working on and have sidechained the bass to the kick drum, but the compressor is not recognising the kick as it goes off. I have used ultrabeat and put each drum on its own channel so I can mix the levels separately, and it seems I have selected the right kick to sidechain. I have included some photos so if anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong it would be much appreciated

Hi everyone, my focusrite scarlett 2i4 has failed with a scratchy volume pot that cuts the sound out left and right randomly, so I need to replace my interface. My budget is around £130 so I am not sure wether just to go with the scarlett 2i2 3rd gen as that is exactly on budget, I just wanted to know some options for what I can get for my money and what is best. It is my birthday tomorrow and my Mum is buying me the interface as a present, although we don't get payed until Saturday so thats when I will order it. Thank you for your help, Conan.

No problem, the notes were slightly off centre on the grid as I imagine it was ripped from a vinyl so the speed was slightly off but it was enough to teach me how to play the melody :)

EDIT: Sorry for the post, dragging the audio in and using flex pitch did work. Hi everyone, there is an old grime release that I would like to remix called pied piper by ruff sqwad, however I don't know how to play the melody on a keyboard. Is there anyway I could use something like flex pitch to work out the melody for me if I import the original track as audio? It will make it easier as I will be able to see the notes on the piano roll so know how to play it from that when I remix it. Is this even possible or is there a way for me to work out the melody using something in Logic? Thank you all for your help.

No I hadn't looked in the app store, I feel quite silly now. Logic is currently updating, thank you for the solution. I have used macs exclusively since 2010 and I didn't realise the way to update was through the app store, at least I know now though.
