I have Logic Pro 8 and after watching tutorials on frameless floating windows and creating and deleting layers from the layer menu, reading the "how to" in the manual, I can't for the life of me find anything that has an option for finding the layer menu in any of the menus in logic. I also can't find the option for frameless floating windows either, its as if my version of logic, version 8.0.2 hasn't any option for these two functions even though the manual shows exactly where they are, only they aren't. Ideas??? Thanks

HI Rounik, well, I opened up the environment window first, then hit command 2 to open the mixer window. I clicked on the view window from the mixer window exactly as it it shown in tutorial "148 Frameless Floating Window". Not only is the frameless floating window option not found in the drop down "view menu" but the options themselves are quite different than in the tutorial's Mixer - view menu options. Example: Options in the tutorial's Mixer - view menu are: Protect Cabling/Positions Cables Inspector By Text Import Options Colored Cables Colors Now, the actual options in Logic's Mixer - view menu are listed this way: Add GS/XG effects Follow Control Surface Scroll to Add Signal Flow Channel Strips Folder Tracks Other Tracks Same Instrument Tracks MIDI Track components EQ Thumbnails Inserts Sends I/O Track Name Track Number Colors So I'm confused as to why the tutorial's listing is different than that of my Logic Pro 8's listing. As for the Layer Menu, in the tutorial, it shows the Layer Menu in the inspector window at the very top, it isn't there in my logic program. I went to the online help manual to see how I can add that window itself into the inspector area and the only directions I got were these, but they aren't really the right ones and don't work either. It really shows how to create a new layer, but without the frameless floating window those directions don't work either. All in all, I don't know how to make the layer window show up.

Right, however, I have no idea how to find that little area where you can choose to create or delete layers. I guess that I don't know exactly what the environment window is. I have the area where I work on tracks to create music, arrangement window? But I guess I'm am confused. Is the environment area an actual window or is it in the area where the inspector is on the left side of the window? Lets say that I open up a new brand new template. it has a few track already to do. How would you access the environment window if it is part of that which opens up with the track area, can you tell me the steps that I need to take to actualy see the layer menu are on the top left hand side? I'm completely in the dark, don't know what to do at all. Thanks again for your help.

what is so frustrating for me is that I keep watching tutorial 152 but can't find that layer menu no matter how hard or what, I try. I know how to access the inspector area, but I just can't seem to find that littel layer menu. Man, I feel like it is impossible to access and don't know what to do, know matter how many times I watch tutorial 152.

GOT IT! That's all I needed to know. Thank you very very very much.I have been to the window menu a few times but did not notice the environment option there! That is crazy.. Thank you very much for sticking it out with me

when I use Play's Voices Of Passion or Atmosphere, my mac book pro, eventually, will have no sound right after I hear a loud pop. Each time I hit the space bar to hear that track, POP! So, what can I do to stop this from happening as well as get the sound back on? Also, after I try bouncing a recorded region from Play or Atmosphere, I drag the bounced sound file into the a track and POP! No sound from the bounced audio file. Help....

OS system is 10.5.5 Mac Book Pro 2.4 Core 2 Duo 4 GIG memory MHz DDR2 SDRAM LOGIC PRO 8.0.2 (1502.22) Play 1.0.83 Atmosphere, can't seem to find the version number but its the latest one.

I seem to be having trouble recording a virtual instrument and then trying to make an audio file out of it. I tried boucning but that never works because when I drag a boucned file back into a track, it doesn't sound. Also, I think that I read that if you click on a region then highlight the apple loops utility one can make an apple loop out of the region, but I'm not sure if thats the best way. Besides that, the applel loops utility is greyed out. Can some one please help me figure out how to change a recorded region on an instrument track to an aif file while keeping all the effected changes to that file at the same time? Thanks

Is it for PC?

Can anyone tell me how to disconect a piano sound so that I don't have to hear it when playing another Logic instrument? Thanks for any help you can offer.
