Hello Steve, I am really starting to get into your TNT starting with June 2007. What I do is trace through what you do in the video on logic 8. A Lot of things don't work because it's Logic 8. One of these things is I don't have an Instrument Layer but the Midi Instrument Layer is blank. I use the Mixer Layer but when I shift click on the tracks and then option click the layer menu they the faders don't show up. Do you offer any help to people who may be using Logic 8 on these older videos? That's good about hiding the tracks but the space an instrument take's is a lot. Is there anyway to reduce the space instruments take other than exporting as audio and deleting all the instruments? Thanks, Alan

Everything I did in the TNTs using L7 will work in L8.... Abeit, some with a slighty differed command or menu location. Selecting a object and then option selection another layer in the environment works here in L8. On point two: Freezing tracks may be a better solution. Steve

Steve, thanks for writing back. I think that hard disk memory is far beyond freezing tracks. My Hard Disk space problem has a lot to do with one very large instrument what takes up a lot of space. I am working on Templates and noticing something in the Environment called "to recording & thru" rather than "sequencer Input". I also noticed that the click isn't connected with this cables in this layer, even in the videos. In my messy environment my physical input goes straight to that and doesn't connect to the input keyboard or that input box that gives the note names. It doesn't play when you play the keyboard however the tracks work in arrange. When I tried to reconnect it and connect the click up to the path a strange thing happened the click got rerouted to one of the aux tracks. This is one of my aux templates. Do you think that you may spend a little more time on clicks and ports or do have an idea of what is going on here. I am attempting to clean up the Audio layer by deleting some unwanted tracks. I realize this is long but I don't know how to explain it better. Thanks, Alan

When you create an empty project in Logic 8 you'll get a clean clicks and ports layer.... There not empty projects there old templates. I am working on Templates and noticing something in the Environment called "to recording & thru" rather than "sequencer Input". This is different in different versions of Logic.... Does that mean that when using an old template with an old environment in Logic 8 you need to leave it the same or change it back to seguencer input?

Steve, thank you for taking the time to answer all these question. Sincerely, Alan
