Logic 9 you absolute turd.

I'm trying to print my drums and this is a ball ache.

Im using SSD (16 x stereo output) all hooked up, mixed and ready to print.

However, I cant seem to find the freeze button...strange. Did some research, read part of the manual and ... Logic cannot freeze multi output instruments

I dont know if this is the same in other DAWs but I dont understand why.

Is there any other way around this? I really dont want to have Kontakt running the whole time

Why don't you just bounce in place?

 

[setyouranchor]

As I'm programming all drums together on one MIDI track with Kontakt. However each element of the drum is going to its own output so I have mixed all parts individually, but playing through on MIDI track if that makes sense?

If I bounce in place, it bounces the whole MIDI file with all drums together. Ideally I wanted to bounce each element, e.g. kick, snare, tom 1 etc with their own seperate channel incase anything else needs adjusting and then just freeze the track containing Kontakt.

send the stereo-outs as inputs of new audio-stereo tracks.
then press record.

done


is kontakt a cpu killer on your machine?
it is pain in the ass on my mbp

Thats what I'm doing man and thats fine its just I cant freeze the instrument track with Kontakt on because its a Multi Output instrument

yeh it proper hogs it on my macbook!

This work around is a cunt, but it works. Basically you press the little plus button next to the instrument track, and get enough aux outs for the instrument you're trying to print, then route the outputs of that to busses 1-12 in the case of SSD, then create 12 new STEREO audio tracks (don't know why but it will output stereo) and make the inputs of those new audio tracks busses 1 - 12, press record and you have multitrack drums!

thats exactly what im doing but i just cant freeze kontakt :/

it hogs my cpu but i cant freeze multi output instruments in logic

Right click the output tracks in the mixer. Choose 'create arranger track' for each track... then bounce in place. You might have to create empty regions on the tracks, but it should work.

What does create arranger track actually do?

I've never seen that option before!

 

[CarlBlomqvist]

What I think setyouranchor is trying to say he wants to shut off kontakt without "removing" the plugin/instrument.

Bouncing out seems like there is no problem, but turning off the plugin/instrument is.

EXACTLY!

 

[CarlBlomqvist]

I'm sorry I can't help you more. I'm no Logic expert.

Removing the plugin/instrument would solve it... But then you'd loose all your settings and what not.

Unless you solve this problem, I've got one more reason not switching to logic

Yeh, I'm really not into deleting the plug in, means I cant go back and tweak if I need to. Piss take!

Thanks anyway dude

 

[Laneismusic]

Yeah it's the same for me in SD2. save the midi file, bounce in place, then freeze.

What do you mean? I still wont be able to freeze the actual instrument track.

I guess I could save my SSD patch and the MIDI file, and just delete it

 

[Machinated]

id just save the patch/midi etc in another project.

isnt there a way of bouncing stems from busses? theres a tutorial on the apple website about it, think you have to get the bus in the arrange view first and then pencil in a region at the start.

 

[tempe]

Assuming you've printed your drums, why don't you just bypass the instrument? Or am I way off?

That's what I do.

Thats what I cant do, logic doesnt let you freeze/bypass multi output instruments

What do you mean in a seperate project?

Also, I'll look into bouncing stems from busses but I'm still stuck with not being able to freeze/bypass Kontakt

 

[tempe]

Ok, I literally just bypassed Kontakt in logic, I routed my drums to separate outs in kontakt, routed those to separate stereo buses in logic, then to audio tracks with the buses as inputs, tadaa printed drums. I then Alt-clicked Kontakt as the input of the software instrument track in the mix window to bypass it. I now have multi tracked drums and a bypassed plug?
