q-flam question

You have to make sure that the notes selected are quantized, and all line up at the same place on the grid for the Q-Flam to work. I watched Steve Horelick's video on how to do this, and it worked perfectly.

Hope this helps,

All the region parameters are, well, region parameters. They affect the whole region.

In the editor windows (eg event list) you can quantise note selections but you don't get all the sexy quantise parameters here.

Move the notes you want to quantise into another region, set the region parameters how you want. You can always fix the quantise settings to "burn" the new timings into the data, then move those events back into the original regions if you want.

Which video is this? Are you saying he's using *region parameters* in the region parameter box to seemingly affect *selected notes* only in a region? Because as far as I know, this is impossible - the region parameters are playback parameters and affect all notes in a region.

Perhaps in his demo he was quantising everything but the q-flam only significantly altered the timing on a certain group of notes that were all in the same position - thus looking like it was only operating on selected notes. (In reality, it's operating on all notes, but only having an effect on some, which is as intended.)

Or are you saying he wasn't using the region parameters, and was using some different way of quantising notes? Remember, the note selection quantise menus in the editors don't have the extended quantize parameters, only the basic quantise settings menu.

Do you mean if you record the parts in a single take, or in two separate takes?

I'm getting to work properly, you have to have the region selected in the arrange and the notes you want flammed selected in the piano roll, it won't alter any notes that aren't playing at the same time so you just have to be sure that there are not any in the region you are 'flamming'.

Sorry, but Logic doesn't work like this. Any settings in the region parameters box apply to all notes in that region. You cannot select just a few notes, and alter the region parameters, and have it apply to just those notes. Logic's design isn't like this.

So either you're describing something incorrectly, or you're not understanding what's going on.

_Overlapping Recordings_
This pop-up menu provides the following settings:
• +(blah blah blah, then:)+
• *Merge with selected regions:* Newly-recorded data is merged with all selected regions, to form a single region. This takes place after each recording is completed.
