As always, they added some new amps and effects along with the cool features. I’m going to try them out. I was quite happy when they included the Zen Drive and Tone King emulations.

IMHO, the latest versions of Helix and Helix Native are well worth updating. There are a lot of great features in there now. One of my favourite new features on the Helix itself is the ability to mix stomps and snapshots on the same patch.

They appear to be plain MIDI files according to their site. In that case there would not be a away to distinguish one from the other as far as tempo and time goes. You might wind up having to do those manually.

In Logic, you can open to midi regions in a piano roll by selecting them both. They do not have to be on the same arrange track. The same goes for the score and step editor.

The main guitar on the track is a Helix/PowerCab combo. To me, that plays like an amp. My supplemental rhythm guitar track is Helix Native on a dry guitar track that I tapped off of the Helix while I was recording the main rhythm track. I often record a printed and a dry track at the same time, and do multiple takes. That way, I can select a different take for each track.

The majority of us in the music/audio production community are staying on Mojave until there’s a need to upgrade. By that time, it will give the major music software devs a chance to ensure everything is working right with whatever OS flavour of the year is. Until then, there’s no need to break a working setup. I’d rather focus on music than fixing my system.

I believe it did. 🙂

It sounded good.

I’ve been teaching myself piano because I love the Wurlitzer A200 emulation in Logic and I want to play it.

Thanx for listening, Chris.

I’m not sure what I could appropriately say about the guitar tone because it was one of those STFU and start playing moments. It was mainly a Fender Deluxe emulation on my Helix with a Zen Drive emulation and it was set in a way that it gave me a grungy tone that I just recorded in Logic. I didn’t even know what tempo it was in because I had everything set up in Smart Tempo mode. I just kept playing until I was done and hit the stop button and then built the entire song around that guitar (which is somewhat neat because the tempo varies and the pauses follow the guitar).

That “Homer” t-shirt is the inspiration for my pose in that picture.

I can’t readily admit that the intent of this song was blatantly Christian. If anything, I summed this one up to one of my “beautifully depressing” moments. then again, there are some characters that are rather depressing. LOL!

Not to mention that with SD3’s ability to import samples, there are plenty of electronic samples and in various computer music mags that rolling your own kits is almost effortless and inexpensive.

If you lost your stuff during an LPX crash, that’s an indication that the project somehow didn’t get marked dirty thus triggering an autosave. I’d probably check that workflow and if its reproducible, report it as a bug. I’ve never had that auto-save set and have not yet had an issue with all of my drum data autosaved (and have had a few LPX crashes of my own out of “geekier” causes).

Logic Pro X has auto save. You should have been able to revert to one of your auto saved versions. I have had many times where this has saved me a lot of work.

as is with any work done on computers: save often.

Unusually cool. Nice to hear synths that are played.

The presets can’t be readily copied from one library to another due to the differences in mixer routings. Even if you copy the file in your user directory from one folder to another, there’s no guarantee that it will work.

Did you check your /Library/Application Support/EZDrummer/Midi (system root and not your user location) folder to see if there are any MIDI grooves there? That’s the standard location.

Also check your Audio/MIDI Setup to see what devices are listed and what channel SD3 is receiving MIDI on (you might want to set it to All if it isn’t already).

Your keyboard should come with software that allows you to configure the pads. It’s probably better to configure them to the General MIDI standard in order to allow you to play the standard articulations in SD3’s default mapping, as well as configure them to your playing style.

Your drum module is not an audio interface. You would need to use an audio interface for a live performance.
