Hi, I just was having an audio track with lots of plug-ins inserted and wished to insert another plug in in the first slot in Logic 8. In Logic 7 I would use the Audio Configuration window where I could easily drag the inserts around to other slots in order to create a room in the first slot without having to redo the settings on the individual effects. In Logic 8 I didn't find such Audio Configuration window. Does anyone know if there is such a window, or otherwise how to insert a new effect as first in the chain easily?

Wow, thanks a lot, this works great!! I knew there had to be an easier way. No need for the old clumsy method I was using anymore...

Hi, When inserting "green" loops from the loop browser in the arrange in Logic Pro 8, I don't hear all the effects when comparing the result with the actual loop that I hear in the browser. For example, choosing guitars in the browser and dragging the "green" loop 12 String Dream to an empty arrange track and playing the loop in the arrange, it souds different from the loop in the browser. It has some effects inserted but not all. Is there a way to have all the effects inserted, or do I just have to figure the remaining out myself? A lot of times a master reverb or delay designer seem to be missing, perhaps because they are not track inserts but bus inserts instead? Any help is appreciated, Jitse

When I insert it on an audio track it sounds the same. Only inserting on midi it's different. Try for example Beachside Electric 13 Havana Flamenco 04 Shetland Fiddle 02 I clearly hear reverb is not there on the midi track, but it's there when inserted on audio track. Sometimes I think the verb or delays sound really cool and am hoping to get the settings without figuring them out myself. Thanks, Jitse

Hi, Just created a new sampler instrument in logic pro 8's exs24 by edit, new instrument and loading several samples and a bit of tweaking. I choose save in the instrument menu. The instrument plays fine. Then after loading another sample instrument from the library, say a synth with filters on and then later loading the one instrument I just created, the parameter settings are gone, instead I now have all the parameter settings from the synth with filters on, while I didn't create the instrument with filters and other parameters have also remained on the synth setting. The parameters I created for the new instrument have just vanished. How can I make sure the parameters are saved together with the instrument as is the case for the other instruments. What am I missing here?

Rounik, Thanks so much, that works great! Never thought to look for that under the options menu.... Best, Jitse

Hi Steve, Thanks for the great tutorials as ever. I just noticed you started using this magnifying cursor kind of thing in the February ambient TNT. I don't know about other's but personally it distracts me quite a bit when viewing the tutorials as compared to the older "more tranquil" pointer. Maybe you can consider to revert to the older one in future episodes, unless of course I'm just the only person in the world who's distracted by it. Best regards, Jitse

Hi Steve, Never knew Mid Side could be done so easily with a few direction mixers in Logic. Always thought you needed to have an external plugin for it. Just now have tried it on several commercial tracks on CD and easily could remove the Mid (bass+vocals) and hear a world of Side signal with fancy background vocals, reverb, delays.. Fantastic! Great stuff, Thanks! Will we have any more of these gems in a TNT3?
