Track naming

I remember a report from someone else about this kind of behavior.... but I have never worked out how to decouple naming between a track header and the mixer.. so I cannot recreate it (and therefore possibly work out a fix..maybe!)

Can you provide a repeatable method as to how to make this occur?

Cheers..

Here is how it works:

• Hover the mouse over the Track name in the Track Header and the little Tooltips window appears telling you if this name is a "Channel Strip Name" or "Track Name"
• The default in LPX is now that the name on the Track Header is the Channel Strip, identical with the name of the assigned Channel Strip, naming one will name the other.
• There are two circumstances (tricks) that forces the name on the Track Name to be an independent "Track Name"
• Show Automation and click on the Automation Disclosure Triangle. Now, when you click on the name, it displays a highlighted "*TRACK NAME". Entering a name, will enter the individual Track Name, and now it is independent from the Channel Strip Name
• Another "force Track Name" situation" is when you assign a Track to more than two Channel Strips. In that case, clicking on the name in the Track Header will also prompt the Track Name entry for that Track.
• Deleting a Track Name entry to revert back to the Channel Strip Name is as simple as double-clicking the name on the Track Header and hit the delete key.
• If you are not sure what you are seeing, hover the mouse over the name on the Track Header and the Tooltips window will tell you.

Hope that helps

Edgar - absolutely outstanding, amazing, thank you!!!!!.......Really !!!!!!!!!!!

Now if you can just tell me how to get follow tempo checkbox to show up in an external audio track ( since detect tempo doesn't do it anymore in 10.2.1.)

What do you mean by that? I don't understand.

I don't know what an "External Audio Track" is. Are you referring to an Instrument Track that uses an external hardware instrument as its sound source, using the "External Instrument Plugin? In that case, it would'n apply.

A few thing to keep in mind:

• "Follow Tempo & Pitch" is a Region Parameter that is displayed as a checkbox in the Region Inspector.
• The Checkbox is only displayed in the Region Inspector if you have an Audio Region selected.
• The parameter has nothing to do with the selected Track.
• The "Follow Tempo & Pitch" checkbox changes to the "Flex" checkbook if you have a Flex Mode enabled for the Track the selected Audio Region is placed on.

Hope that helps

Edgar,

Sorry we should probably started another thread.... But "External Audio Track" - should have read "external audio file" which was not recorded originally in logic. In previous previous versions of 10.x, if you imported an audio file ( created outside of logic) - the " follow tempo & pitch" checkbox would not appear in the inspector until you ran the detect tempo command, which afterwards would display the parameter to be checked or not in the inspector (make it visible). In 10.2.1. this functionality has been limited to flex. Is there another options to get the follow tempo check box to appear without busing the audio track back into logic. See below - excerpt from your excellent books. Option #2

Here is an example of how it used to work.....
