    I’m new to QC so I am totally confused why you would add a midi switch when it does midi and has so many buttons already. In scene mode you have 8 patches for a single song. In 30 years of playing, I don’t think I have used more than about 4 different sounds for one song. What is this actually solving for QC players? I was researching setting up the QC midi and found a few people adding a separate midi controller. I guess I went the other rabbit hole because I added my Strymon stuff and have QC running it.

      Yes, when you go into Lyrics view in Stage Traxx 3, you can play the song and add timestamps to each line. When performing, this will highlight the current lyric. Multiple people can join a "Session" in StageTraxx 3 to view the current song, which includes lyrics & timing information. Only the Host gets to control playback, however.

    Ben, great video! I'm a total beginner to Logic Pro X and Stage Traxx 3, so I'm trying to use your video as an instructional tool in the hope of learning the basics. Have I bitten off more than I can chew? Having recently downloaded both software packages on my iMac, I've 'dot-pointed' each process into a word document. So I'm literally copying what you've done with 'Keep Your Hands To Yourself'. A few questions, though: 1. How do I move the whole song (all the tracks) forward (to the right) in order to accomodate a two-bar click? 2. How do I put a two-bar click on the Click Track? 3. How do I select/copy, then paste at the beginning of the Click Track? Obviously I'm still learning the key commands, and as yet I haven't got a clue what all the little icons mean up by the tool bar! Thanks again for a great video - can't wait to get into the Stage Traxx section. Cheers for now...

    I need to figure out a way to turn stereo tracks into dual mono tracks in Logic because from what I understand, Logic's way of dealing with stereo is not to move the left to the right but silence the left. Some single stereo KV rhythm guitar mp3s have one guitar on the left and a slightly different guitar on the right. So panning in Logic will negate the L guitar. This is also true on background vocals as well.

    • @bscheirman

      in that case I'd probably duplicate the track and pan each one. Alternatively you might be able to sum the track and send to a bus which is panned hard L or R.

I don't use scenes (old school). All I really want is (like you) to avoid the pressing 2 buttons at the same time. Could you please guide me on how it's done? or maybe send me a link or a video?

    Hi Ben interesting how your using midi. I would like to set up a midi controller just to turn pedals on and off. I would like to use the quad cortex in scene mode and use the quad to change scenes. Then use the midi controller to turn pedals on and off while staying in my scene. Is that possible? Thanks.

    • @bscheirman
      @bscheirman 11 місяців тому

      Yes that's possible, but a little more convoluted that you might expect. Keep the QC in scene mode, then program each of your midi buttons as a macro that: (1) switches to stomp mode (2) presses one of the stomp slots (A-H) (3) switches back to scene mode. Chuck Hirstius has a bunch of excellent videos of how this works with a Morningstar MIDI controller. It works well, and it happens really fast.

      Currently you are limited to the functions that NDSP has defined, which are things like cycle through Modes, open/close tuner, open close looper, looper controls, and toggling a stomp that is already assigned a foot switch. This last part is the most limiting, you can't have a block learn a different foot switch message. I do think they might add this in the future, it would be so useful.

So i also have Logic x and want to use it for this kind of preparing instead of Studio One. So my question is: 1. You wrote a small program or code to automate the download from karaoke version . would you share the Program? 2. Do you have to timestretch the individual tracks or is it only the drum or Klick Track that makes the leader for the others. 3.

      Hey Mike, 1. Here's a link. I just don't want to officially support it :) --github.com/subdigital/puppeteer-karaoke-version 2. The click that KV provides works well, but it often drifts, so if you make your own click you'll find that the song will deviate from it. So I use the click from KV, and when I import the song I can use the click track to analyze tempo. This can be useful if you need to edit or loop sections. 3. Doesn't have to be, but see point number 2.
