Bebop26 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I have some templates that do not have the Preview channel strip (because at the time of creation of the templates, thinking I would not need that Preview channel, I unfortunately deleted it). Can I re-create a Preview channel strip in an existing template or in an existing project ? Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 The highest numbered Channel in the Project is always used as the Preview Channel. So first disable Project Settings>Audio>Channel Strip>Automatic Management of Channel Strip Objects, then go into the Environment and do this: Afterwards, you should enable Project Settings>Audio>Channel Strip>Automatic Management of Channel Strip Objects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop26 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Thanks for taking the time, Christian. With your comment, I think that I understand something now, tell me if I'm right. Since I created a template where there was no Preview channel named by this correct name (I deleted the Preview channel before creating the template), all the projects that I created with that template had no channel strip named Preview. But I always had a channel where the solo button had a red slash on it, like on this picture : In fact, is this TENOR TRACK a Preview channel ? I could just name these tracks Preview and I would have a Preview channel where I do not have it anymore ? *** I re-created my Template. Incidently, I work with an Apollo Twin interface. Now, Logic chooses to assign MON L to the input of my Preview channel when I open a new project with my this template. I still did not experiment that Preview channel, I'm working on it and I try to get things ready ! Is it normal and correct to have MON L as the input for the Preview channel ? Do I have to make some specific settings on my Apollo for the Preview to work correctly ? *** I hope that you'll understand my english ,which is bulky, and I thank you for your help. The best to you.

fuzzfilth Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 If you don't have a dedicated, high numbered channel reserved for preview, the currently highest number will be the preview channel. This can be highly irritating, as this will always switch around to the channel that you last created, and will be a distorted guitar rack, then drown in reverb, then have no bass at all.

Bebop26 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 I feel humble to ask this question, but ... how do you dedicate a high numbered channel reserved for Preview... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebop26 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 OK... 1. I have to admit that I do not understand WHERE you go, AT FIRST, to select that highest numbered channel... I can't see a place in Logic where I have NEW, EDIT, OPTIONS, VIEW... 2. In order to avoid having an ever changing channel that becomes the Preview, dp I really have to do this in every project or template, or it can be some kind of a general preference ? Thanks for your generosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop26 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Can I do it with the input of any audio channel ? Like here : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 No, Fuzzfilth went to the Environment window. Top Logic menu: Window - Open Midi Environment (Command-0 on the keyboard). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop26 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Wow... I admit that all this story is a mystery for me. MIDI environnment to adjust some settings related to audio samples ... ??? I'm confused, but I found the window he was Fuzzfilth was talking about. Now, I will be able to do what he explained me. I do not understand the theory foundations of all this... it's a big mystery. After I'll do it, will it be applied to all my projects ? Is it a general setting or a project setting ? Merci. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 After I'll do it, will it be applied to all my projects ? Is it a general setting or a project setting ? If you start from the basic Logic template, it will be there. If you start from a template you created, you have to make sure it's there. You have to do this to all the projects that don't have the Prelisten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only see 3 grayed reserved Audio (like nothing happened with disabling "Automatic Management of Channel Strip Objects") What's going on...

fuzzfilth Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 The handling of this has changed significantly over the last few Logic versions, so what is your Logic version ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
