  1. How about riding the mod-wheel to make a tempo curve? or a fader on my MIDI controller? That would be pretty awesome. Possible?? EDIT: Yeaahh boiii!! πŸ‘πŸ€©πŸ‘
  2. Great idea! This is the kind of clever thinking I've come to expect around here πŸ‘πŸ˜„ Thanks Des Is there a way to tap as the song plays and have it follow me for rall.s and rit.s - and record that to a tempo map. I imagine that's basic AF but I've never done it before. What do I have to click to get that happening? Thanks!
  3. Can't seem to find an answer online. Just need a yes or no, really.. CAN YOU 'HUMANIZE' THE TEMPO TRACK? I want the notes to stay locked to the grid, so 'humanize' in the MIDI transform section is out. Basically, can you select some operation and go like, "Ok computer, put some randomised variation in the tempo track. Go!" - maybe where you can set a granularity value like: by every 8 bars, 4 bars, bar, eigth note, etc. ?
  4. Also found a video showing how to do it another way - by lasso selection in the velocity lane! (requires holding down shift and then adding the option key whilst dragging over the desired selection) Pretty cool!
  5. Hi David/anyone, I just wanna select a bunch of MIDI notes by velocity range. Aaaaarrggghhh Found a thread from about 2015 - but try as I might I CANNOT get the MIDI transform window to show me this parameter: Mine looks like this (no matter which preset I select or where I click on the window - it doesn't let me select a parameter under any of those headings) I've been at this for about an hour and it's driving me bananas. I was in the bloody zone before I needed to do this - talk about breaking the flow! Grr. Thanks in advance to any helpful heroes out there. πŸ˜„ x
  6. I have! I use it all the time. It's fantastic! It does actually track volume - which it converts to velocity in the resultant notes - but I don't have the original kick drum track.. but, you may be on to something.. maybe I can see what it does if I throw a mono bounce of the whole song at it? Trouble is, I need a velocity automation curve really, since the midi kick part is exactly the timing of the original and whatever midi notes result from throwing the whole track into the drum replacer won't be.. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion - I'll have a think about it.
  7. probably very easy but I don't know how... in this instance I've got a midi kick drum part that matches the recorded multitrack drums in terms of timing but the velocity is constant. (someone has midi-replaced the kick track but not provided the original kick drum part) - I want to try and inject some velocity into the midi part but I'd rather not try and do it one beat at a time manually!! I thought that if I could find a way to automatically write an automation curve that reasonably closely follows the changing level of the song - or maybe the drum kit (there's some spill of the original kick in the overheads but this wouldn't yeild a good curve since it's masked by a lot of cymbals etc. - but if I combined the kit and was able to 'track' its volume with an automatically written automation curve then maybe I could use that to automate the midi kick's velocity?) I'll also be grateful for suggestions of how I can automatically 'map' the song or the drums' volume changes with an automation curve..? So actually this is 2 requests πŸ˜„ (I hope I've made sense? I can clarify further if not..) Thanks x
  8. oh.. ok. πŸ‘ (still, I wouldn't mind being able to lock selected regions within a track lane and not others - but this'll do ;D)
  9. omg.. talk about counter-intuitive.. excuse ME for taking the word LOCK to mean "keep the damn thing where it is..!" πŸ˜„ oh well, every day's a school day. thanks guys. can hereby report it works as expected when NOT locked. πŸ‘ btw. do I take it from this that Logic doesn't provide a way for musicians to lock edits? - only video makers? πŸ˜„πŸ˜‚ (it's a feature I find VERY useful when I'm working in Audition for instance - kinda disappointed Logic doesn't have it) [plus "group selected regions" - Logic should have that too..] btw. btw. does this also mean that when I "lock" a bunch of related multitrack files (whole song length, not lots of small regions), I could be moving them out of sync with each other? (say if I had already cut some silence off at the beginning such that they all didn't "start" at the same point??) I mean... OMG, I've done that LOADS of times - thinking I was PROTECTING the sync between files, not bleedin' messing it up!! Wow! 🀯
  10. OK, wow! That worked extremely well (with this particular kick track.. which is fairly consistent in level, I will now try it on snare and toms etc. I'm sure it'll be just as good) - it got every kick first time, AND there weren't as many false triggers as with 'transient markers' - in fact, there weren't ANY..!! I think it's much gooderer than the other method (which I just devised myself - though I'm sure others have thought of it [shame it doesn't bloody work! :D]). This method has the detailed settings like pre-attack time etc. that you can dial in before slicing. Great stuff! (only gripe is that I couldn't see a way to zoom in on the display, so it was a bit "fingers crossed" that it had identified every hit..) Never mind, lack of zoom is a small price to pay for the dependable sample accuracy of the method - I'll be doing it this way from now on. Thanks very much, Wonshu. By the way, for anyone else - it's called REMOVE SILENCE - cntrl+x or right-click region and: You can also add a button for it in the secondary toolbar. (Just strips the silence DOESN'T move the file or the resultant regions - RESULT!!!)
  11. Guys, Is there a way to "slice at transient markers" WITHOUT having to turn on FLEX first? That menu item only seems to be available when I turn flex on.. I like to do 'automatic' manual gating - ie. I'll slice the entire kick drum part (so we're talking a couple hundred regions, maybe.. plus I'll be doing snare and toms too..), select all and use Shift+Option+drag value in the list editor to make each region the same length - then roll back the start on all regions simultaneously (because of logic's known habit of slicing in the middle of transients instead of right at the start of them..!) and then add fades to ALL (still selected) regions (1 sample fade just before transient, maybe 50 or so at the end) - 100% PERFECT gating! I'm sure I'm not the only one who works this way..? Trouble is - Logic does NOT maintain sample accuracy..!! Play the gated kick alongside the original and listen to the MESS of phasey, flammy nonsense! NOT ACCEPTABLE! Now, I realise Logic would probably be BANG ON if I DIDN'T have to turn on FLEX before auto-slicing at these couple hundred markers - because no doubt as soon as I turn it on, Logic is prepping each slice for repositioning (exactly what I DO NOT want in this case) - by the way, I always select 'SMPTE lock' on the full file and on all the selected regions after slicing - it makes no difference, the regions do not remain at their sample accurate positions relative to the original file. Help me you lovely geniuses πŸ˜„ (kinda difficult to see - but the sliced region here is a few samples ahead of the original and this offset is not consistent, some regions are ahead, some behind.. no good, won't phase align with the overheads now...)
  12. Thanks Wonshu, this is what I'll do. πŸ‘ Des, πŸ˜‚ cheers fellas!
  13. Hey David et al. I'm using 'Sampler' as a sine generator to double/support a bass guitar. I've done it like this for years - all good, no complaints. Today I've got a peculiar scenario and want to know something... Can I tune just 1 note -25cents flat? (G2 in this case) - NOT the pitch class set (i.e. I DON'T want all Gs tuned, just G2.. so a 'Tuning' preset is out) The bass in the track is a tad flat on the string which that note is played on - but I LIKE it in the track and I'm NOT going to tune the bass track because f*%@ the establishment, yeah?! πŸ˜„ Obviously I can just mult. the track and have only that note on an instance of 'Sampler' that's down-tuned -25 but where's the fun in that?! πŸ˜„ I want to do it the complicated way haha. No worries if not poss. As I say, there is an easy way I can meet my need - just wondered if it's possible to individually tune the notes when 'Sampler' is playing its naked sine tone. Thanks as always. x
  14. *professor Farnsworth voice* "Good news everyone!" This WORKS on the nanoKONTROL Studio just the same as in the video with the nanoKONTROL 2!! Blimey, even the jogwheel works! Now I'm going to try and see if I can get SOME of the faders working as mixer channel strip faders and the rest as CC things like modulation etc. I'm not confident this will be possible but who knows - five minutes ago I thought the whole unit was junk :D:D Today is a good day. Thanks Zipfunk!
