If I start a subscription this month, is it possible to view a list of topics already covered and acces them? Is this covered in the yearly subscription or is it an extra fee, or not available? Peter North

Stu, don't know if you dolved this yet. Try turning off your virus checker/firewall. norton blocks ned, so if you have another brand vc, it may be doing the wierd things. Hope this is useful Peter North.

I'm using BFD drums and want to record the audio output of the program to an audio track inside logic. Logic tech support says the only way is to use bounce, but thats messy. Is there a way to route the audio signals inside logic to an audio track? [ie using a bus/group master/aux send?] Audio track i/o list some of the above but doesn't accept the BFD audio. Solutions would be appeciated. Thanks, Peter North

Hello, Steve. BFD drums also has an ultra setting [32 channels out] that would benefit from this. I have a version set up in Logic Pro 7, but Fxpansion tells me that, so far, ver 8 doesn't support that, and I will only get stereo outs. Boring! As its much better to apply separate eq and levels to different kit pieces. Logics audio environment in pro 7 is great for this. [Now I finally figured out how to do it!] So I'm hoping to be able to repeat this in ver 8. Any tips or tricks? Thanks for all your tips so far, haven't used them all yet as I'm doing different things, but they are a great additional resource. All the best Peter North.

Digitl Droo. Hi mate. Load your multi-out plugin as an audio instrument. Then create either aux or bus channels and use the I/O slot on those channels to select the remaining output channels from each additional output from your plugin. As the aux/bus channels are derived from the plugin you should be able to assign them to separate bus/aux channels. Use the audio layer in the environment and once its set up save the file with a unique name, and it'll be there whenever you want it. EXS 24 has a page that allows you to setup multi outs[ I haven't done it as I use BFD] but I'm guessing you have. If this doesn't help, send me an email with your address and I'll send you a copy of my lso file with BFD Ultra set up. Use use that as a template. Hope this helps.

marcus,hi. NED will check the sever for new content, but if it doesn't find anything, it will drop out and not start a download if you have everything that's current. that's probably why nothing new was added. Peter North.

Steve, is there a quick way to programm the above? The onl;y way I've found is to try and create a small region with the time change, and I never get it right without fiddling. I'm sure there's an easier way, I just haven't worked it out. Thansk for your time. Peter North. PS> I'm surscribing to TNT 1 & 2 + your masterclass. Fantastic shortcuts! That's why I thought you'd have a solution to this. All the best, thansk again. Peter North.

Hi, Rounik. I saw your article about remapping outputs in Ultrabeat. I've done the same with the EXS 24 Rock Kit, and BFD 2. I've also created an environment that uses the bottom 5 octaves in the piano roll for drum programming. [c-2 to b2 Each note triggers one hit. i.e. g#-2 & a-2 = kick 1. I've grouped each drum together, so that in a vertical stack kicks are at the bottom, then snares, hat, toms and cymbals. This gives me 2 hits for each instrument and 10 hi-hat varoations [quarter, half tip or shank. open closed. etc] It makes tom fills and cymbal hits a a cinch, and allows the kick and snare to sit next to each other on the piano roll editor. Unfortunately, Ultrabeat's trigger notes are fixed. From memory the first Kick is c3 and the rest are higher. Is there a way to remap the trigger notes lower so they would match my custom environment? Any ideas you have would be appreciated. Thanks for you time. Peter North.

Hi, Rounik. Thanks for the info. I've never done that kind of stuff in the environment, but I'll give it a try. In the chart you provided where it says Pitch Sub 24, does that mean 2 octaves lower? That's what I thought anyway. So can I go lower than 2 octaves by increasing the value? Say Sub 48 for 4 octaves? My kick's are [off the top of my head] g-2 and g#-2. The lowest octave on the piano staff at the left side of the piano roll editor. I'll have to work out the correct interval, but you get the idea. Thanks again for your time and your assistance; and as we say in Australia Haveagoodweekend. Peter North.
