Re: [Logic_Cafe] Transpose Whole Song?

2008-07-08 by Gregory Anderson

Yeah, using the chord and transposition tracks has definitely been a  
struggle.  The only reason I use them is when I need to use apple  
loops for some reason (usually to add guitar to my compositions).   
But the effects on existing and new midi regions seem almost random.   
They transpose when I don't want it (and vice versa), using one  
transpose drop-down in the inspector transposes the notation but not  
the notes, and normalizing parameters seems to have no effect.  If  
you forget to check the "No Transpose" button, good luck getting the  
part back to the original notes.

I'm sure it will get better as it becomes more familiar to me, but  
like you, I had a vision in my head of how a chord track could make  
my life a whole lot easier, and so far, that just has not happened.
