collinsylex Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I really like how logic gives me a countdown to bar 1 when recording midi... The only problem with it that i have is if i play a little before bar 1 starts my whole project will shift over by a bar or two... pretty annoying for me when that happens because then i have to move everything around to fix the view and such. is there a way to setup logic to ignore notes before bar1, or, a way to make sure that the exisiting clips dont shift down the timeline to insure that the note didn't get cut off?? I would rather pencil in the very first note that got cut off than see all the clips in my edit window start a bar or two later. Sorry if this is some really basic feature i should already know about... Even tho i have been using logic for a few months i still feel like a total NOOB!

David Nahmani Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Your regions don't shift, but Logic moves the project start marker from bar 1 to bar 0 so it can display the notes you played before the downbeat of bar 1. This is, in general, a bad idea because Logic will yield all kinds of buggy behaviors when the project start marker is not at its default 1 1 1 1 position. To avoid those issues, consider starting your project on bar 2 or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collinsylex Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 ok, so there is no preference or anything to stop logic from changing the start time to bar 0? i am not too crazy about starting a few bars in simply because i am used to seeing bar 1, 9, 17, 25, 33 kind of thing while doing arrangement and such... not the end of the world to start a couple bars in, but if there is some checkbox i didn't see in the preferences regarding this behaviour i would certainly disable the feature... thanks for your help david, ive been nibbling away at your training book for a good while now, great resource!... i just wish i had more time when i wasn't on the verge of sleep to work thru it!
