peterpanx Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Hi.i have a newbie question and the tutorial personally didn't help me on this,how to record several solo channels.Let me clear this.I have a heavy project and i want to record for example 3 channels together,but i cant because the logic give me all the time the system overload message and the records stopping and the record file is black.So,does anybody knows,how to record those channels solo?thanks.

David Nahmani Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 logic give me all the time the system overload message What is the exact text in the alert? Also what do your CPU and HD meters look like (in the transport bar) at the time of the alert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpanx Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) is a heavy project David up to 120 channels,lots of them is midi.The system overload or disk error message is normally behavior on my computer with 4gb ram. Is time to record some of those channels,but i cant.. Edited August 16, 2012 by peterpanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Well then you're simply reaching the limits of what your computer can do. If you answer my previous question we can suggest a workaround: what do your CPU and HD meters look like (in the transport bar) at the time of the alert?

peterpanx Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 the cpu meter is peaking and the HD meter is in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Then you're reaching the limits of your CPU. Bypass some of the most CPU-demanding plug-ins. If you have tracks that use a lot of CPU-hungry plug-ins, mute their regions (select the regions and press M). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpanx Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 I know how to control the warning message,but my question is simple.How to record a couple of channels solo,by make them solo with 'S' button or solo them from transport bar.In this case the project wont play with all channels and there is no warning message.Is there any way to do this?

Eriksimon Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Just solo them, then bounce, then add the bounce to your arrangement on a fresh audio track. This is what (classic) bouncing is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpanx Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 sure is a good way to do this,but is off-line bounce and is not the same that your can record those and has the 'color' of the sound card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 You sound card just deteriorates quality, which you may mistake for "adding color". On rereading your question I have a much better tip: use freeze. That should relieve some of your overload issues. http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=9%26section=16%26tasks=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 my question is simple.How to record a couple of channels solo,by make them solo with 'S' button or solo them from transport bar. Sounds to me like both the question and its answer. Have you tried it? is off-line bounce and is not the same that your can record those and has the 'color' of the sound card That's false. Offline bounce is like real time bounce or real time recording, it doesn't matter what soundcard you use, you're just using Logic's summing engine in both cases and the results are the same. I think I understand your question now: you need to set the output of the desired channel strips to a bus, create a new audio track with that bus as input, rec-arm it and press record. But yeah: same thing as bouncing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpanx Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 mm.I confused now.I have read somewhere once,that recording with the way you explain,by route out a bus and route in on a audio,is better than the bounce,off line,or real time.I read also that depends how good is your soundcard the quality of the recording,and each sound card has a special 'identity' or i can say also a 'sign' of the card.Please help me to understand it.Thanks,and sorry about the difficulty i have from the language.

That's not true. I read also that depends how good is your soundcard the quality of the recording,and each sound card has a special 'identity' or i can say also a 'sign' of the card. Not true either. Please help me to understand it. When you play a song, all channel strips are summed by Logic's audio engine into a stream of zeros and ones that are sent to your interface which is connected to your speakers. That's how you hear what's played. When you bounce a song, that EXACT same stream of zeros and ones is placed in an audio file on your hard drive. When recording the mix of that song onto a new track, that EXACT same stream of zeros and ones is placed in an audio file on your hard drive PLUS an audio region made from that parent audio file is displayed on the record-enabled track . The three options yield the same exact result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
