Thanks again!!

Hi Joe, I enabled input monitoring by clicking on the "I" button at the bottom of the channel strip. That works!! It's interesting, I don't have to do that using when mics but only the keyboard. I also never had to use the "I" in Logic 8. Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it!! Lynn

I'm sure by now everyone's heard of Apple's new Mac Pro (and its companion monitor), but slipped into that WWDC presentation was a preview of the upcoming Catalina OS.. https://www.apple.com/macos/catalina-preview/

Looking through the (lengthy) release notes, it's clear that while the track bumps are cool, the real news in this update is the many bugfixes, performance improvements, and small features that may not be as attention-getting but can really enhance workflow. We all love to carp about bugs and issues , and I've seen many people post how "Apple should stop worrying about new features and concentrate on stability and performance for a while.." -- and it seems that's just what they did here! Among the notes are mentions of a host of situations where there should be improved responsiveness -- are people noticing that?

The course is definitely up there on the Ask.Audio Academy page and working/playing. If you can see it but not get past the three demo videos, then you may not have a current subscription -- you could choose one here.. https://ask.audio/academy?nleloc=plans&sess_id=ih6dvend2bjdo313ok8p8j66t5 If you do (or did) have a subscription, then there may a problem with it -- check to see if it's expired, and if you think it should still be active and allowing you access, then you'll need to open a ticket on the page linked below, to get in touch with someone who'll be able to help you suss it out.. https://ask.audio/academy?nleloc=faq&sess_id=ih6dvend2bjdo313ok8p8j66t5&afid=dYKx8u938T

I’m afraid this isn’t possible. A sequence of commands would do what you want, something like jump to next marker, move back five seconds, mark in, move forward ten seconds, mark out, favorite, but it’s not totally straightforward. You’d need a third party app to wrap that together. Command Post might be able to this, or help you do it. It might be worth asking this question on the Command Post Facebook group? Good luck!

Thank you!!

Thank you!! I got it.

It’s possible you’re exporting to a format that your Mac can’t play back very well? Maybe try going to another format and see if the problem persists?

I haven't used MainStage for a while, but it seems like the way to accomplish this would be to have each song in its own Playback Plugin at the Set level (if you need to switch other Patches during the song) or the Patch level, rather than at the Concert level -- I would think that changing Sets/Patches for each song would then use the correct tempo for that song..? Maybe worth a try, if you haven't already sussed it out.. :-)
