Logic 9 + MTC + MIDI cycle record broken?
Hi Logic folks...
Here's a doozy of a problem we cannot seem to solve. My friend and I have successfully sync'd our computers. However, we cannot seem to MIDI cycle record on the slave machine without Logic ALWAYS merging the data. 😕
He sends MTC to my computer, which detects it and locks on. He can cycle, and mine triggers and follows him just fine. Once triggered, my computer sends MIDI clock to my rack equipment, with no problems whatsoever. We both can successfully record both audio and MIDI, as well as play them back simultaneously, on both machines. He records his V-Drums, I record keyboards, along with varied accompaning musicians. No problem, Logic handles it.
When recording MIDI during cycle record, the Logic default works as expected, constantly merging MIDI data into this one region, as it is received.
If I choose one of the other options -- such as "Create Take Folders" or "Create tracks in Cycle Record" (with or without mute) -- Logic will record as expected, as long as I start the recording manually. [The above opions are in Settings --> Recording --> MIDI --> Overlapping Recording]
HOWEVER, when triggered by incoming MTC, Logic seems to ignore these settings and ALWAYS MERGES the MIDI data into the same region! 😢
So... CAN it be done? Can you trigger Logic with MTC and use the MIDI cycle record simultaneously?
If anyone has gotten this to work, or has any suggestions whatsoever, PLEASE post! 🙂 Our setup is SO CLOSE to being perfect, it hurts!
I've scoured the forum here, but can't seem to find anything... I apologize if this is a redundant post.
Thanks,
