macOS Audio

oink: there is room for optimization, could you send me your pipe, please? Actually, I optimized myself. I made a single message factory tool for parsing a complete string, instead of a tool for each byte. (I didn't realize, at first, that one could do that. At least up to 60 something bytes.) I'll...

In logic I would be chopping first then opening the sample editor to check and moving the sample start point to before the first tiny breath of audio taking care not to move the anchor point etc etc. That seems rather tedious. There are lots of ways around the process. Just lassooing all the region...

why do i need a new window, why can't i zoom in and edit in the arrange? I could be proved wrong in the next minute, but I would not be surprised if that never changes. Why ? Because that goes down to the basic paradigm Logic is based on. That is that audio regions in the Arrange window are just re...

The naysayers and doubters can say all they want. Logic is below Apple UI standards. Way below. A lot of the UI 'standards' that are fine for other apps just don't suit an app like Logic. Apple probably have consulted with Audio professionals and been told to leave it alone in a lot of areas. Regar...

Yes, as others have already hinted at, this could quite likely be a corrupt channel (or plugin instance). If it opens fine with audio off, then you can be pretty sure that's the case. To retrieve the song you need to isolate which channel is corrupt, create a replacement using a different 'unused' c...

Thanks so much chaps.. Yeah.. It could be my old OS user (me) How do I go about changing this? K Well, if you can find the file, select it and 'get info' (command+I) and look at the ownership & permissions details. You may be able to change ownership there, but it would be better to move the fi...

If you know which file is causing it, check the actual file and make sure permissions are set correctly. (you should check the permissions on the enclosing directory too.) Also make sure there are no illegal characters in the file name. (perhaps the file, or the directory, is owned by the user in th...

Thanks for the sysex functionality, Nico. This really opens up a lot of possibilities with Logic :) (I went a little overboard and made a 128 byte sysex parse pipe, but it takes an awful long time to load on my old machine. :roll: Fortunately I don't really need one that big yet and am getting by qu...

I'm new to working in the world of MIDI and MIDI control so some of the discussions and technologies are foreign to me. I don't even NEED to use the control surface with FinalCut. In fact I have a project where I can't wait to figure all this out before getting started. I'll just use the mouse to g...

No I don't think MIDIPipe will do it. For one I'm not sure you could program it to handle the handshaking strings etc.. But even if it could, it's not just a matter of mapping this CC# to that message etc. There's a lot more to it. If you had the time, first you would need to read and comprehend the...

The way I understood it was that the Virus was being triggered by the Korg thru Logic. Did i misread it ?

Of course, if you don't need to record the Korg input, then it is much simpler. Insert a cable switcher after the Korg's In port on the Physical Input object. (make sure it's In Def is set to some message that the Korg doesn't send, like P-Press) Have one outlet of the cable switcher going to the Se...

so here is what needs to happen in Logic. I need my midi controller (korg kontrol 49) to be routed to the Virus (thats the easy part) but the tough part is, I need to record the midi output of the virus. Funkfish: I changed your image to a link. This thread was really hard to read on a regular 1280...

Finally...success. :) I ended up trashing these: Extensions.kextcache and Extensions.mkext from System/Library/ along with AMS prefs, MIDIPipe prefs, MIDIMonitor prefs and ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.MIDI.xxxxxx.plist Just trashing Extensions.kextcache alone (with the other prefs) didn't ...

oops, I spoke too quickly. I was just going on the fact MIDIMonitor now showed all ports. once I booted AMS and/or Logic the in ports disappeared again. I'll try your suggestion of disconnecting and powercycling the interfaces. (hmm, that's fine for the AMT8 but how does one do that to a stealth por...
