Caps lock will let you use your keyboard as a midi keyboard.

This channel has so much great stuff - including the entire Logic pro essential training series

The NI tutorial are ace too

so, sometimes ill have alot of effects on a channel strip and remove a couple of those effects

the channel strip with still have the empty boxes underneath the EQ graphic where the effects would usually go

as a result it pushes up the channel strip into the area where the quantize/loop/transposition sections are etc

anyone know how i can resize it? cause i cant access the copy/paste channel strip setting menu as its covered by the quantize/loop/etc section

i make my tunes on a laptop so i dont have much screen space, this is probably why im getting this problem

is there a solution ? (except for plugging laptop into a monitor/opening the mixer window)

second question, i thought id ask it now to save time:

does anyone have this issue with automation:

the fucking lines keep snapping onto one another, so lets say i have a filter and I want it to rise and reach 1K HZ at the 32nd bar and suddenly jump to 17kHZ, the lines will automatically snap together.

even when i have snap automation off i get this problem, sometimes im able to fiddle with the automation dots and they will snap where i want them, sometimes it wont work... anyone know what im talking about? perhaps a screenshot would help..?

perhaps a screenshot of your problem will work too !

Hi there.

Am just learning logic at the moment.... am finding pitch-shifting/tuning audio a lot more difficult than in Cubase.. am using the time and pitch machine......

What's the difference betweeb the transposition area and the harmonuc bit...? and what is the ration between Cents and Tones/semi-tones?

Any other tips would be ace too....

Many thanks...

you have to bounce online if you use the arp

There is a pitch shifter plug in that can do this easier than using the time/pitch machine. If you have to edit the audio file I actually usually use audacity for this kind of thing just out of habit.

use pitchshifter to locate pitch. Edit the pitch with pitch & timemachine

12 semi-tones in an octave.
100 cents in a semi-tone

Hope that helps

this is great help!! thanks

anyone know of a keyboard shortcut in Logic that will perform the 'tab to transient' function like in Pro Tools.....there is a long winded way of doing it in the editor but im a lazy tnuc and want to do it quick....

and randomly i dont suppose anyones selling acoustic foam?

I have two questions, I've only been using Logic a year, but I'm decent at it.

1) How can I record a MIDI drum track and then get Logic to change the projects tempo to fit it? I know I could render as Audio and whatnot, but I was wondering if there's a better way to go about this.

2) Where can I find a vocoder to re-pitch vocals really smoothly like Burial? That's the only thing in his production that baffles me. The Logic Vocoder sounds way too synthy and the re-pitch plugins aren't gradual enough.

burial dont uses a vocoder. He just cuts up the words and changes the pitch with time and pitchmachine

What do you mean by this exactly? MIDI data will be written into the tempo of the project. If you're recording in drum beats with an electronic kit or similar than the best way is to set the bpm on Logic first and play to the click, then quantise the midi data afterwards.

you've got to do it in the right order, if you get the right hand point into position first, and then move the left hand point directly over or under it, then they won't snap to each other.

How do you load up your own samples into the EXS24 ???!!!

I did but Ive sorted it now. I didnt realise you had to create a new instrument for each sample you wanted to use, thats looonnnggg.
