I just got Logic 8 and it looks very cool.
I imported a SMF and Demixed By Pitch the drum parts because I want to adust the levels on all the parts.
Now all the parts are one channel 10 as you know. So, do I put all the parts on separate midi channels? That doesn't seen right because if I have many drum parts I would run out of midi channels.
So, how do I do this?
If anyone knows PLEASE, PLEASE, explain it to me as if you were speaking to a child. I'm serious. You really have to explain each step clearly. I've been looking thru the manual and I cannot see anything related to this.
Yes, it tells you you can do it, but doesn't really tell you how.
I'm very frustrated and I know many of you have been there too.
Thanks

The sliders on a mixer are sending MIDI CC#7 messages which are channel messages. That's why when you move one track's slider, you change the volume of all tracks assigned to that channel. To mix these as MIDI, you'll need to edit the velocities of the individual notes.

The other solution is to convert the MIDI tracks to audio tracks. I don't use Logic, so I can't tell you how to do this, but in most DAWs it's possible to do it internally without going through AD/DA conversion. I assume Logic has that capability too.
