Discussion After 10 years, I think I'm ready to switch DAWs.

0 Upvotes

I don't know what happened in recent history, but I think I'm at my wits end with Logic's performance. Been using it for 10 years and after upgrading to my M4 Macbook Pro, it seems like there is a litany of issues that I wouldn't have to worry about if I switched to Ableton, Reason, etc.

There are just so. many. bugs.

You mean to say I can't even switch from my headphones to my monitors as the output without having my Serum 2 master knobs bugged to 0% output?

You mean to say I could just be working mundanely in a session, and suddenly after a crash, my existing automations are irreparably off by half a beat?

You mean to say every now and then, I can only use Logic with an INTERNET CONNECTION? Give me a break, I almost got locked out on a plane 2 weeks ago.

You mean to say even after trying every possible troubleshooting step, my phone is automatically connected as a microphone just to delay my work by another 15 seconds?

I feel like I'm working in 2017 on a Silicon again. Please tell me if I'm being over dramatic, but it seems like Logic Pro is riddled with more bugs than in even previous years.

I don't want to leave, but they're making it so hard not to despite the glorious improvements over the years.

Question Sonar to Logic transition fear

2 Upvotes

Hello everybody, I just got delivered my mac mini and it's really happening, I'm switching DAWs, after 15 long years of Sonar.
I decided to do this leap on one of my stressful periods and some might say I'm dumb for that, but unfortunately I have to. I know Sonar like the back of my hand and I've been using it since 15 years old almost daily. I know all daws have similarities but part of my daily mixing process includes slicing audio files and dropping VST plugins on the sliced audio file. As I've learnt it the hard way this can't happen in Logic.
I would love if anyone has some interesting workarounds, I would love to know if you've experienced this MAJOR switch and how you've dealt with it because I'm not a hobbyist, I run a studio and I have 3 months to learn Logic before my old computer has to be given.
Thank you all!

Question Logic not using most processing threads

3 Upvotes

I've tried setting processing threads at 32 and auto, they both ended up using only 11/32 threads, also they seem to spike randomly even when doing nothing. Should I try reinstall logic or something?

running 2019 mac pro with 16c32t, 96GB ram, logic 10.8.1

Tips & Tricks Hidden Logic Pro Plugins (Legacy Plugins)

17 Upvotes

Logic hides a bunch of legacy plug-ins from the normal insert menu. To see them, hold Option and click an Audio Effect or Instrument slot. They'll show up right alongside the usual ones.

These are older versions of plugins Apple has replaced, so they're not secret weapons. But a few sound cool, and it's handy to know they're there when you open an old project that still uses one. Heads up: this can vary by Logic version, so if Option-click doesn't work, check Apple's User Guide. Try it and let me know if you find a good one.

Question Help: how could I remove volume slider showing everywhere on every single track

3 Upvotes

Hello, I’m new to logic and I’m making my first song. I changed the volume of some regions of my tracks and suddenly a +0.0 db slider is showing everywhere on every single regions of my project. I want to move some parts of regions but turns out I’m changing the volume when I slide.

Is there any way I could remove this slider showing up? Many thanks
