blue-moves Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Ok, so I'm experimenting with constructing templates and thought it would be good to save the 5 sections of a string ensemble as a summing stack to easily load in other projects. The first one I did looked like this when I saved it: and looked like this when I opened it in another project (tested it 3 times, quit and re-opened Logic in between) Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug I'll have to live with? It's a shame because I'm attempting to be more organised - and labelling things properly is a big part of that... this is obviously not helping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue-moves Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 Just tried it again - this time with 8 multis in a summing stack. All named. Did nothing else on the computer in between building it, labelling it, saving it, closing it and then re-opening it.. Upon the first re-open it had lost 2 of its track names and the location of the samples for at least one of the multis (maybe all of them - don't know, did an auto search and it found what it needed) Re-typed the 2 missing names and re-saved it (overwriting the previous save) Upon second re-open it had lost 6 of its track names but loaded the samples ok. Re-typed the 6 missing track names and re-saved. Third open: 6 missing track names.. What's up? There's literally (if you'll pardon the ironic pun) no Logic to it..!

ozinga Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Hi, Did you try with other plugins? It might be related to Kontakt. Do you have the latest Kontakt version installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue-moves Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 Quote It might be related to Kontakt Yeh, it's the darnedest thing.. it works fine with everything else but Kontakt (I now know, having tested a load of other stuff) Still, It's a cool little system which I'm glad I thought of (I mean, for me.. I'm sure I'm not the first!), it'll be very useful for my process! Hopefully I can eventually iron out the reason for it doing that with Kontakt patches.. Neat and quickly buildable - in a 'modular' way - orchestral templates!! (I don't always want to start sessions with 1000 patches loaded.. :D) I'm really impressed with this feature in Logic where you can record on the summing track (and it plays all the sounds within - like, I can play the full string ensemble part) and then I can drag that part down onto the individual sections duplicating it on the violins violas etc. and, by muting notes in each of those regions I can get the individual parts if needed.. great!

MikeShapiro Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I've been trying to do the same thing and keep running into the same problem. Sometimes the track name is <unknown>. Other times the tracks simply forget the names I created and revert to the name of the Patch. Has anyone found a solution? (Or figured out exactly what causes the problem?)

lostmemories Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I think in this case the best solution is to enter own track names, some plug-ins like Kontakt or Reaktor from NI have problems with automatic naming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeShapiro Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 It turns out that the problem can be circumvented by unchecking the "automatically manage channel strip names" parameter in Song Settings. (Under Audio.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
