So, say I have a playlist called "Restaurant Background" which is all James Taylor, etc with all the tracks ticked to provide continuous music for playing between my live brackets... if I play a backing track in Backing Track playlist, AC will automatically start playing the Restaurant Background tracks next.
In otherwords, it isn't playing back by separating the playlists. Make sense? Best I can figure is a single keystroke to "untick" or "tick" all the songs in that playlist. Is there one? (As against Select/Unselect). Or is there a better way?

I looked everywhere and didn't see this posted, hopefully I didn't miss it.

When I open AudioCodex, the FX chain doesn't show any available plug-ins. In fact, the whole FX section is grayed out (see attached pic). I have Logic 8, and all my AU plugs work fine.

Plugins were in the HD > Library > Audio > Components folder, so just to be sure I moved them to my home folder, no luck.

MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.6, AudioCodex 1.49.

I've had this issue since I first bought AC, deleted my prefs following the instructions on the forum and downloaded the latest version, but no luck.

Has anyone else had this issue?]]>

In iTunes it recognises the change and I can then play my guitar into my MacBook through my audio interface and out into my powered speakers. And it will play both the Itunes stream and the real guitar stream out together. However, with AudioCodex (AC) it does not recognise the change of interface, and I have to quit AudioCodex and re-launch it. There is no where I have found to select the audio interface from within AC. It is because I want to jam along with a track in AC - where I can easily change the pitch and the tempo as well as loop parts to help practice.

Ideally. I'd like to see both features in a future release, but at present one of them would be a good step forward.

Thanks

When I returned back to my desk I connected the macBook up to my monitor and again run the two displays without mirroring. This time the MacBook screen is to the right of the monitor and the monitor is the main screen (ie with the OS X Menu Bar).

My problem: I couldn't get hold of the inspector or the other HUD panels. They were still appearing to the left - except that there was no screen to the left on the main screen.

I'm not sure if you need to add something like "Gather all panels" to the menu.

The way I got around this problem was to logically move the Mac Book screen (in Dsiplays Prefs) to the left of the main screen grab the Inspector screen (in AC) and move it onto the main screen. Then logically move the Mac Book screen back to its normal position in Display Prefs.

It had me frustrated and confused for a while.

Thanks for a great app,

AC allows me to use the Effects Chain and Mix controls on NON-global to individually tweak each backing track and try to keep some kind of consistency in volumes, tone, etc and make up for years of different systems and software I've used to create these tracks- some 110 in all. So far, it's kind of working.
So I have a single Playlist in alphabetical order that includes all my 110 tracks and many of them have small tweaks. Now, when I want to re-arrange my tracks into the order I'm actually performing them two things happen. When I click and drag a track up or down in the order and release the mouse, the track disappears from the list completely and is replaced by another track of no relevance whatsoever from the playlist- I can't figure out what parameters, if any, AC is using to choose and slot this unwanted/unselected track in there. The only way I can re-establish the lost track in the playlist is to replace it using a Finder Window (drag and drop) and that UNWANTED track is the put back where it came from alphabetically, but as a DUPLICATE. There are now TWO instances of that unwanted track.
Which brings me to the main question. How can I create new Playlists (e.g. a "loud" list, a "soft" list, a "restaurant" list) using my original Playlist with all my Effects Chain tweaks included? In other words, if I simply try to make a new Playlist using drag-and-drop from a Finder window I'm not including my Effects Chains and Mix Control settings for each individual track. If I try to re-arrange my original list I strike the problem above- it's unworkable and there doesn't appear to be any kind of Save AS function anyway.
And, by the way, when I first open my original playlist the tracks are not displayed in alphabetical order any more. This is easily fixed. but again I can't figure out what parameters AC is using to arrange the list in this order. If I knew, maybe it would answer some of the other problems, too.

Hope this is making sense,

Question 1: There's no crossfade facility in AudioCodex? I can't find one.

Question 2: At the moment AC only plays one track at a time even with all the boxes ticked. This is actually good for my backing track work, but no good for playlists I use between live playing to keep the punters happy. How do I turn off this single play thing?

Question 3: (Might be related to the above) What is CA Mode? Why do I need it and how I do I change it?

Question 4: This website looks terrible on my PC, but all right on my Mac. What am I missing? Java or something?

I'm sorry to say loops do not really export properly, but have some silence attached to the end, thus rather spoiling the loopy experience ... Maybe it has to do with the Warp feature? I do not use loop export very much - most of the time I record the output signal with WireTap - so I just found out today.

In 1.3, if no tracks were selected, and a track was played, only that track was played, and it was played only once. This is the behavior I would expect in 1.4. As it is, 1.4 is useless for live performances, because there is no longer a way to play a single track in a playlist just once.

1st of all when I start Audiocodex I don't get a view screen. To get the screen I have to hit "command 0". I then noticed that I could no longer see my looped files in the left hand browser. Starting up a couple of times I could see absolutely nothing i the left hand browser but that seems to be okay now. Oops, spoke too soon. I tried dropping a file in the audiocodex area of the left had browser. Closed audiocodex, opened it and the left hand browser is again blank. Tried it again and the browser came back but the file i added is gone.

From my perspective this is a pretty buggy upgrade. 1st one for me. The rest have all been very solid.

here is my current list of little things:

When using the menu, the range for pitch adjustment is +/- one octave, just like it says on the website & in the manual. But the slider in the Warp pane stops at 300 ct in either direction, which is a pity. On the other hand, the number boxes will accept values considerably below or above 1200 ct; perhaps some cosmetic cleaning-up would be O.K. some time. And b.t.w., on the website it says "+/- 1200 Hz" ("Hz" instead of "ct"). Similarly, the speed control slider stops at 2x instead of 4x.
Saving presets for individual AUs does not work reliably, deleting presets not at all. Sometimes switching from the current AU interface's preset menu to the one in the FX Chain Inspector pane takes as long as 10 seconds and looks sort of dangerous.
When playing audio in non-loop mode with a longish pause set in preferences (> 1s), pausing playback via the space bar will crash the program. This is a pity, as setting a pause between tracks can be a rather convenient way to play single audio elements - just hit the space bar somewhere during the 3 (or whatever) seconds, select the next required track, and start it using the return key.
It would be very convenient indeed if per-track settings could show in the Inspector even when the track is not currently playing. As it is, all sliders &c. jump to their positions only the moment playback is started. (Sounds like a fiddly problem.)


Apart from this, it's great fun of course ...

The symptoms: When I drag a new file into the playlist, and and then reposition it at the top of the playlist, the track often will not move, but instead the first item, and sometimes other ones, will show up twice in the play list. In order to correct this, AudioCodex must be restarted. At that point I can usually clean up the duplicates and reposition the newly added track.

This problem is difficult to reproduce, but I am still running into it on a fairly regular basis.]]>
