I have recently switched to Logic Pro 8 studio from Cubase 4. I had no problem in Cubase using drumtracker, but I’m having major difficulty in Logic.
I can get everything into drumtracker from logic just fine, but when I drag the midi file created in drumtracker back into my logic project, the midi file is not the same length as the original audio file I rendered. Therefore, it’s completely ‘unsynced’ with the original tracks.
I close mic all of my drums. The method I use to export them into drumtracker is to bounce the audio of an individual track (say the kick for instance) and then make that the input on drumtracker. I fully render the ENTIRE audio file including the usual minute of ‘dead space’ at the beginning of the audio file. I save the midi file in the same bounce folder as the original audio file. I then go back to logic and drag the just made midi file into a midi track. The same thing happens everytime (I’ve tried this at least 50 times): I get the midi notes into the project just fine, but the ‘dead space’ is not in the file and therefore I have to manually sync the midi notes with the original audio notes. This is a big waste of time and can’t be right.
Please tell me if there is a different way I should be doing this. I’m really frustrated.
Thanks,
Tim
