Hello guys.
I know I must have done something stupid here but this is the problem.
Some how I pressed something and there are 3 tracks that are linked together. If I mute one for example the others are muted as well.
I must have created some group or sum stuck but I am unable to find it and clear those tracks.
Another unrelated thing but in the same project, some how I activate the Live Loops and for the life of me I don’t know how to turn this off.
I should be extremely careful when I press keys,, I know but obviously I didn’t do this on purpose.
Any help is welcome.

Nektarios.

It sounds like you have created a track stack, find one of the tracks and press command shift u.  Then before you do anything else, move focus between the available tracks so nothing is selected.

Make sure to save first, always save, then remember that under Files menu is Revert To and there lives the last few versions of your project unless you did a clean-up under File -> Project Settings, I only do that when I’m finished with an iteration of a tracks. 
So, command shift u will flatten the stack, then arrow up and down or otherwise move between tracks so not everything will be selected. 
Before doing this or anything drastic make sure to save.

If it doesn’t work, go File then Revert to and pick your last saved.
And when it does work, save again, so you know you’ve got it. This projects revisions stuff in Logic has saved me when working with sync libraries etc before, it’s one of those cool things. 

When you do revert though, all changes gets lost and what you reverted from is not saved, just other versions you have saved before. So if you make a mistake then revert, that mistake is gone as is anything between revert time and the saved project you picked.

I bet Steve as a tutorial on this somewhere also. 

Best,

Hi. I don't have any answers, but I sure sympathize. The sort of thing you are struggling with happens to me all the time. Very frustrating. From my experience, some solks won't have any sympathy for you, but I sure do.

yea you might have groups enabled. I believe the key command is shift G, but you might have to look it up.

Hello Bruce.
Although I am confused and frustrated right now I don’t think you are right about people helping here in this group.
I found answers to my questions here and the discord server.
I know that Logic Pro is a complex environment and some times is difficult for us to do the things we need but there are many people who work hard to make our lives a lot easier and we should be thankful for that.
Any way, my English language skills are limited to express my gratitude to the people on the group but I think you get the idea.

Regards. Nektarios.

Hi. I totally agree with you about all the people here who try to help, absolutely. Sorry I gave you the wrong impression. I saw you writing about things not working no matter what you tried and immediately sympathized because I've been there done that.

Glad you now have some leads. Good luck!

Hello.
Now that you mentioned searching for keystrokes, I am struggling with the new Pub format of the documentation.
How do you guys read the EPUB file effectively? The books app is horrible.
Is it possible to export this to an HTML document so that we can read it with a browser?

Thanks.

Nektarios.

Groups is possible
If these are audio tracks or MIDI tracks where you didn’t use seperate by note value or the new track with same instrument command then most likely disabling groups will solve the problem. I believe Shift G should toggle groups. However, if this is a MIDI instrument you separated by note value or used the new track with same instrument option, those will be grouped together in a similar way also and disabling groups won’t resolve that. From what I remember as it’s been a while since I dealt with that I think if you create a new software instrument track and copy over the region and instrument setting to the new software instrument track from the first track in the group of tracks then delete the the first track, they should all start working as individual tracks again. You can use Command Option C to copy the channel strip settings from the first track and then press Option Command Shift V to paste just the plug ins when you are focused on the new track. Copy and paste the region as per usual from the first track to the new software instrument track then try deleting the first track.

Most likely not a track stack. Track Stacks would only mute all the tracks if you mute the track stack. Individual tracks in the track stack would still be able to be solo’ed or muted or adjusted separately from each other. 
It sounds like no matter which track is muted they all mute in this particular case.

Try Thorium reader. I am investigating other formats that allows me to easily manage and edit the document but is equally as easy for others to access. I like the chapterize format of ePub and the fact that I can also include tutorials in the file with the text.
Some have reported using AI to convert it to HTML, so that could be worth a try.

Hi Steve.
These are audio tracks.
So I was recording a voice track on track 4.
I was using undo and I was deleting regions and doing things like that.
At some point I must have pressed something and I linked tracks 5 and 6 along with track 4.
I also tried command shift up and down arrows to experiment with takes etc.
By the way, shift G does not disable groups it does something else I am not sure what.
Thanks for the help.

Nektarios.

Thanks for providing some more info, that helps troubleshooting. Are you using VO up /down to navigate or just navigating with up/down arrows? If VO up/down and you have takes its possible then that the take folder is open you can close it with option F.
Otherwise search your key commands in Logic to see what Enable/Disable Groups is mapped to. It shows Shift G for me which I believe is a Logic Default for the US key command, so its possible its something else on a non US keyboard or in your Key commands file.

HI, the issue is that shift G is assigned to deactivate your groups, but in Logic Magician it’s set to the gain watcher. So you have to turn off Logic Magician first with control escape. You also have to remember to do this when setting up a group and naming it, otherwise you’re attempt to type a name will create all sorts of chaos as you activate various commands.

Out of interest, I just read a chapter of another book on my Mac, having never used Apple Books on the Mac before, except to try and read the LM documentation, and it was absolutely fine. I had no issues whatsoever. Unfortunately the Logic Magician documentation is quite a slog. I merely mean the way it’s presented in Apple Books; the actual content is great. It’s much easier to read on my phone.  ON the Mac, it keeps taking me out of the page I’m in, and some pages won’t read fully. Others start in the middle, and I have to VO and left arrow to get to the beginning, before often being unceremoniously dumped out of the page again. I really think an HTML file would make so much more sense. Or if that’s too onerous to do, a simple text file. This would make searching a lot easier. The audio tutorials could simply be provided as labeled links in an HTML document, or just as urls we could paste into Safari’s address bar. 


It’s such a great resource, it seems a shame to dilute its usefulness by using a format that seems designed to raise one’s blood pressure. My current system has been to make my own notes based on steve’s documentation in a text file, so that I can quickly get what I need.


With thanks.

Thanks for the feedback, and the comparison to another reading experience. I think I may have an idea why this maybe happening. I’ll investigate and see if I can’t make it better.
