I'd like to do aan ES2 tutorial next! I'm almost finished with UltraBeat!

[quote:1002]Ahhh good old system trouleshooting ... 1st, click the Monitor Object and drag the box in the bottom right corner to make it longer so you can see more events in the list. Press a key on the keystation ... do 5 seperate play events occur? if so, the problem is almost certanly with the signal coming into Logic from the controller. Next, I'd personally create a new monitor and then drag a seperat cable from the output trangle of Port 1 (ie, NOT the SUM output) to the new monitor and press a key again, see if anything different happens. if nothing happens, then you know port 1 is not the keystation, so you'll need to cycle down through the ports until you figure out which one is the keystation. If there is still 5 events, it's looking more and more like the keystation itself. You could try throwing a Voice Limiter object in the path and see if that helps ... if it does, you will need to customize your environment appropriatly ... that will take some fiddling around, but you'll probably need to assign the voice limiter before the instrument object you are going to play, and then target the voice limiter in the arrange window. Sounds easy and fun, huh? The first step though is figuring out where the duplicate notes are coming from ..[/quote] Has this been solved?

...I didn't think it was a Logic problem!

It sems to me that your not getting audio from your interface to Logic. Logic will record blank regions when there is'nt any audio at its inputs.

Enabling audio tracks is dependent upon the amount of inputs of your audio interface. Think about it... if your interface only has 4 inputs why would you need to enable more than 4 tracks...

I here Melodyne is hot... 'tho I've never used it myself.

I was gong to suggest that! Glad you found it yourself!!!

Try trashing your Logic preference file and then boot Logic again.

Hmmm... I tested the multi-channel technique (when I made Ultrabeat Unleashed) with 3 different drivers: internal audio, M-Audio and Apogee and it worked perfectly with each of those. Have you gone to the RME website and downloaded their latest drivers? Give that a try (if you haven't already). Steve

Hi, Nothing beats the sound of a great singer, in a great room, using a great mic connected to a great pre-amp, recorded by a great engineer. There are no easy shortcuts. If ANY of those variables are missing, then there is no magic. But magic aside, the quality of your preamp and/or converter is the link in the chain where you, as producer, may have the oppurtunity to enhance your production. Spend the money and buy a top-of-the-line converter like, perhaps, the great Apoggee products or something similar. That way when that great vocalist walks in the door you'll be ready!
