Hey guys, I am new to this forum, I'm having the same problem. I now see that I have to assign the tracks to different channels, but shouldn't logic just do that for me? If I go to the create multiple tracks option and create 8 audio tracks, should logic automatically put them on separate channels? As it is now if I create 8 tracks, I can only hear audio on 4 of them. thanks [b]YOUR TEXT HERE[/b]

Hello, I'm lovin this forum.... Ok question: I just got a book from Erik Hawkins called "The Complete Guide to Remixing" great book if you guys are interested, Anyway he explains a few things about programming drums in various different programs like, Reason, Cubase and Logic. I used to use Cubase, and I always loved the drum map and drum editor for programming drum parts, in the book he shows images of Logic's drum editors, they look like hyper editors but they have the parts listed down the left side like; Kick, Snare, Clap, Hats . and then a pattern sequencer next to it. looks great.....but I can't find it anywhere in logic, How do I get to this wonderful drum editor. Thanks HERB

And there it is !! Thanks guys

Hey guys, I have been doing a lot of work in logic lately, I find myself starting up logic more often, using it to do more and more jobs. the thing is I'm a longtime Pro Tools user, at least the last ten years or so. I got a call from a local singer guitar player who I have done some tracks for in the past, he likes my studio and the sound we get for him. So this time, I decided to use Logic Pro for his session, to see how the workflow was, and if I could really use it in a real world situation. The first thing the guy says is "you got rid of the protools rig?" He seemed very disappointed, and almost mad, thinking he wouldn't get the same sound as before. I explained that I'm doing a little test in the studio to see how this software functions, and if he would just humor me. If it is not flowing well, we will jump over to protools. OK that said. I love logic, I'm thinking of selling my HD2 system and investing in some apogee converters and interfaces, the Symphony stuff looks great. However, I don't want to make a move like that, if my business is going to suffer because I'm not a "Pro Tools Studio" Has anyone run into anything like this? I would really like to hang my hat on Logic, and have it be the main program for tracking and mixing. I know it really doesn't matter which program you use, they are all basically the same, but customers and musicians have this "PROTOOLS OR NOTHING " attitude and they really don't even know why. Anyway, any thoughts would be great. Thanks

Martin, I made a mistake, I hit the REPORT POST button on accident, thinking it was the "post reply" button like on the other forums, sorry about that, I'm not reporting your post for any reason, just a mistake. So I think I have the solution, Keeping both is the best bet, but that runs me thin money wise, so I'm going to sell the HD2 system, cards and interfaces, that will give me enough cash to get some apogee stuff, and I'll just build in a DIGI003 rack system, and Run Pro tools LE, This way I get the best of both, and no complaints that I don't have pro tools!! Thanks Guys H

Hello all, Ok, I have been trying to work with the new Drum Replacer in LP9 I am finding it to be a bit finicky...Sometimes the the sensitivity slider doesn't do anything at all, sometimes while selecting different sample during preview it crashes the core audio driver. But all that aside, I am trying to add custom samples to the EXS24 for use with drum replacer, I added some .wav files. one shot snare hits to the sampler library but they dosn't show up in the EXS24 so I created a new instrument and added the sample, but I have hundreds of samples I would like to just import and use. Anyone know an easy fast way to do this.

Hi, Thanks for the reply, redmatica looks a litte complicated... there really isn't a way to just import all the samples, and have them show up as separate instruments and not mapped across the keys as one instrument?

Thanks again, That is a great suggestion! However, I found this litte gem last night http://www.icedaudio.com/ it is called AudioFinder. It is a very cool tool, and it has the ability to create EXS instruments with one click!! and you can batch create them too. only problem is it creates folders for each instrument so I have to take all the instruments out of the folder and put them in one single folder that I create. but it is much faster than creating them in the EXS. and for 69 bucks? why not .......

Rounik, It is working great, thanks for the suggestion. Best part of this whole thing is that I am really learning the EXS24 in and out. As for Audio Finder it is working great. it even has some beat detect and tempo utilities, plus and advanced rename function. very cool. Thanks again
