I’m experiencing an issue with song creation within EZKeys and I’m hoping to get some feedback from others on how to troubleshoot this issue.
I’m using EZKeys as a plugin in a Logic Pro X 10.6.1 project, and I have EZKeys configured to follow the host.
I’m creating a keyboard track from scratch. I have an audio file of a guitar part I used to compose the song originally. I’ve been inserting generic chords from that button next to the browser tab (Sorry, I can’t find any documentation that gives that button a name). I started out inserting basic chords from that chord insertion button and then used the chord selector tool to “fine-tune” the basic chords – to match the chord changes in the song. That worked ok.
Then I started to craft each section (intro, verse, chorus) to further compliment the existing guitar track. This is where I have run into problems. Basically, I start by looping the track by sub-section and slicing up the chords – then modifying (adding 7ths, subtract 6ths, etc.)the chords to simulate the left and right-hand parts of the keyboard composition. Shortening some notes and moving them around. Stuff like that. One problem I run into is that you can 0nly trim a note so much before you lose sound entirely. That’s a problem I’ve been able to work around to some degree.
The other problem is one where I really need help. After slicing, dicing, and nudging notes around for a while, I’ll stop the playback, then start it again. Notes other than the notes I just edited suddenly lose their timing to the overall track even though I didn’t touch them.
I’m used to using the piano roll editor in Logic to fine-tune MIDI and I assumed the editor in EzKeys worked the same way, but I have never experienced this type of problem in the Logic piano roll editor.
Hopefully, I’m explaining this well enough to get some insight from the forum. Thanks.
