mike.h.1234 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hi all, I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm not doing right here. If I record a midi track, the region created in the arrange window always starts at bar 1 and not from where I want it to start. For example, say I want to record a region at bar 10, then I can set locators easily enough and do that, but still the region then starts at bar 1 and gives me a needless 9 bars rest.This is driving me mad because it seriously slows down the work rate as I use the score and event list to edit with. I have gone through everything in the preferences and tried every combination of link and view modes. Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Also, anybody any ideas on how to make logic chase VSL keyswitching? I'm using Logic Pro x v10.1.1 on a 2013macpro. 32gb ram 6 core. cheers all Mike.

des99 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 When you look at the regions in the event list, are there events placed at the 1 1 1 1 point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike.h.1234 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hi Des99, Following on from your clue re the event list, I see that when I try to record anywhere in the song, a controller no16 (general 1) message appears at bar 0 (where my song starts) in the event list and as a region in the arrange window. From that point on no matter where I start recording, the new region merges with the event/region at bar 0, hence my extremely long regions in the arrange window. Is there a way around this.... Thanks again Des Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hi mike. Choose File >Project Settings > Recording and set Overlapping recordings to Join when Cycling. Will this help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Following on from your clue re the event list, I see that when I try to record anywhere in the song, a controller no16 (general 1) message appears at bar 0 (where my song starts) in the event list and as a region in the arrange window. Hmm, wonder what's causing that. Do you have any MIDI devices on your system that might be sending messages to Logic? Try, for example, unplugging any MIDI input devices and see whether that CC 16 is being created. From that point on no matter where I start recording, the new region merges with the event/region at bar 0, hence my extremely long regions in the arrange window. Is there a way around this.... Is the overlapped recording settings set to "Join with Selected Regions"..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Is the overlapped recording settings set to "Join with Selected Regions"..? It most probably is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike.h.1234 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hi Des, Eric, Thanks for cooling it down Eric. Yep,I had already unplugged my keyboard and punched record to no avail. Join when cycling is set, but still the same issue. At least that tells me it's within Logic. BTW I'm using a unitor8 and 2 amt8's, could they be the culprits.... Thanks gentlemen.

mike.h.1234 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 quick update.. I also powered down the unitor and amt's and tried to record...same cc generated at the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hmm... that's very strange. It could be related to your starting point. Logic is known for having various issues when moving the starting point to something other than 1.1.1.1. You can attach your project here and I'll have look at it to see if it behaves erratical on my system too. Thanks for cooling it down Eric. You're welcome.

mike.h.1234 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hi Eric,Des, Yes it is strange, however, I monkeyed around in the environment and decided to delete my tempo fader and lo and behold the problem is no more. I now have to check that I plumbed in the tempo fader correctly in the first place to see if it's an issue or not. I will let you know if it's a bug. In the meantime anything I should know about the tempo fader that isn't in the mannual... Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Ok, well at least you've "solved" it for now, sounds like something weird was going on related to that outputting CC 16 events or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike.h.1234 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hi Des, Eric, Problem solved. Just for the record, the problem was with the tempo faders filter in the fader inspector column in the environment. It defaults to off when you create a tempo fader, I just set the filter to other and voila. Once again thanks for all your help.
