Yeah... back to reality! Have you looked at the wonderful "control strip setting"s on the Audio Channels? Some of those vocal settings are teriffic and can truly enhance your overall vocal sound! If you don't know where they are, they're located behind that tiny little triangle to the right of the word "insert" on the channel strips. AND, every kind of channel strip (audio, instrument, bus and output) have settings that apply to that kind of channel. (For instance, the output channels have mastering settings) By the way, Igor, who refused to make a cameo in UltraBeat Unleashed has already expressed his desire to be my assistant in the next tutorial... as soon as we decide what it should be! in the mean time, can he be your intern? :) It's a start!

We've had students from Sweden! You'd be our first from S.A.! Igor would be pleased to me you!

Yes, it's important to remember that in Logic, tracks and channels are independent. When you "create" a track it actually gives you another track playing throught the same channel as the previous track. If you create a track with "next instrument" (it really should say "next channel") then it gives you a fresh channel. In a nutshell, it's entirely possible to have multiple tracks playing through the same channel!

You create Aux channels in the evironment. Create a new audio object and in the "object parameter box", in the channel selector section, select audio/aux. Whenever you create one, you'll see the option to create another the next time you go to that channel selector. It's important to name them as you go so that you don't get them confused.

If you want to perform during a bounce, you can't! Bouncing accepts no user input. I bought a program called WireTap Pro that I use to record my performances. I put WTP into record and then play my Logic song. It captures everything perfectly.

Besides, I believe that the noise gate work-around will only record in mono... solution: Upgrade!

Go to the environment and assign colors to the audio objects in your Autoload. When that is accomplished, every track/channel and their regions will automatically be that object's color! For instance, I color all my instrument objects slightly different shades of blue, whereas all my audio objects may be slightl different shades of red...busses yellow...auxs greeen etc. You can also choose to show the track/channel color in the arrange window's track list by choosing to do so in the "view" menu. However, it's all preset in the environment first! Have fun!

It's actually extrememly simple!! Check my response above and color all your templates. Randomizing colors will go against the editing you can do with "like" colors. If you're willing to do a little work up front with your templates Logic will save you time and make future "songs" easier and visually ergonomic.

7.0 used to let you fade out Apple Loops! It disappeared with later upgrades...

No environment!? I couldn't produce half the cool stuff I do without it. I hoping for an even more complicated, expanded environment!
