Thanks for your input too! So a single frame of tone might be about a 1/32 note equivalent?

Hi folks. I've created several patterns using Ultrabeat, at 1/16 resolution and 32 steps long. Now I'm trying to create some triplets to add to one of these patterns, and I can't figure it out. Changing the res or length messes up the tempo, unless I'm doing it incorrectly. I tried dragging a test pattern into the Arrange window and manually nudging the midi notes around, with limited success. And I've never used the Score notation area, although that might be easier, after the initial learning curve... Any ideas?

Hi folks. I've been trying all morning to bounce some short excerpts of a long piece. I created a new file so I could chop the long piece up into one minute segments. I select only the regions I want bounced, hit the usual settings, and it looks as if all has gone well. When I open one of the short pieces in ITunes, the segments are the correct length, but there's about 20 seconds of silence at the beginning, so my selected section only fades in after that, and cuts out abruptly (and prematurely) at the one minute mark. Any thoughts?

Even without a clear answer, I love that I have responses in less than an hour! I have checked the beginning and end points, and the cycle mode, but nothing out of ordinary. I run Logic 8.02 (1502.22 - is this how recent updates are identified?), on an IMac 1.6 PPC G5 (pre-Intel), OSX 10.4.11. I use an M-Audio Firewire 410 interface. The idea of using File>Export wouldn't work for this project; I've used automation to fade each section in and out.

And I just tried moving the regions around and bouncing from a different point, but same thing still happens. This is especially odd, as I successfully bounced some other files last night. How do I find out when an update has been downloaded? Does Software Update keep a log?

Okay, I just tried a different file, and it worked fine. The only difference I can see is this successful one is all software instruments, while the problem one is all audio regions.

Okay, I tried the Realtime bounce, and it worked. Jim dandy. I've never used that setting before, so it still doesn't give any light to the original problem.... I tried another section of the original piece, bounced it Offline, and the 20 seconds of silence happened again. Looks like Realtime gets around the problem, but it seems strange that it just appeared in the past 12 hours...

Would you mind having a quick look at the file, and see if you get the same results? I'm making a Zipped version to upload. The file I'm working on is Grenfell Legato Excerpt, but somehow along the way became Arctic Light. My first attempt at orchestral stuff... I just started the upload, but it looks like it will take some time, probably another half hour or so.

Okay, it's available now at: http://www.sendspace.com/file/raph9x Now that I've had success with the Realtime bounce, it probably won't act up for you guys... thanks

Sir Wilfred Grenfell was a famous character in Newfoundland's history, here on the east coast of Canada. He brought medicine to remote fishing ports in the late 1900's, often putting himself at risk from ice movement, ships wrecks, crazy winter storms, etc. A local production company is working on an animated tv show telling his his story, and I wrote this piece in my attempt to show them I could work in something besides my quirky ambient contemporary styles... Think creaky wooden ships, eating pack dogs while stranded offshore on ice floes... Haven't had a chance to try using built-in audio yet. I'll try when I return later tonight.
