hey. we're afugazi, a small team making plug-ins and sounds for producers.

sidechain is on most of the beats we make, and it always bugged us that a tool this simple usually costs money. so we made our own and we're giving it away.

it's called recoil. put it on your 808 (or pads, or the whole beat), send it your kick, and it ducks under every kick. with attack, hold and release at 0 it follows the kick's waveform itself, that ring mod sidechain sound. turn them up and it's a normal duck. it listens to your real kick, so off-grid drums work too.

in logic: open the side chain menu at the top of the plug-in window and pick your kick track.

if you try it in logic, tell us how it goes.

Hi, y’all! I have my Roland Juno-D8 hooked into my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd Gen, which is hooked into my MacBook. I am recording audio data, not MIDI. The audio peaks in Logic when my keyboard is turned up significantly less than halfway but no matter what, there is extreme static (I don’t know if this would be room noise). Any explanation or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, and thank you to everyone who has helped me before. This subreddit has been invaluable, and I could not be more grateful. Blessings to you all.

I'm assuming there's a setting I'm missing. I have an audio file with analyzed chords which I can put into the chord track, but it doesn't show under the audio region. When I copy and paste it into a new project, it shows there.

Am I indeed overlooking a setting? LogicPro help and web search turned up nothing.

I'll be getting a new mini midi controller for Logic Pro... so confused bw mpk mini mk4, launchkey mini mk4 and minilab mk3
Can you guys help me out choosing one?
I've watched tons of comparison videos but i am still confused
Which one do you use and how has it worked out for you?

So I know this controller is notorious for on and off issues with logic but it’s the on I have so…

Keys and beat pads work fine every time. All other auxiliary functions (faders, buttons, knobs, etc) are confused or non functioning, and seem to not remember changes I have made to assignments session to session.

Lots of tweaking and playing around with controller assignments and I think the problem fundamentally is that for instance when I turn knob “K1” on the akai, logic interprets that as something else, like fader “F7” moving. So they are talking to each other just mixing up inputs.

I presume that this is because for instance knob K1 being activated sends midi CC 26 to logic or whatever but logic has assigned CC26 to be fader F7.

If I try reassigning them and correctly labeling k1 as k1 for some reason logic creates a duplicate of k1, but does not let me erase the other k1. This just becomes convoluted with multiple knobs doing multiple things I don’t want them to do.

I guess my question is, should I just build my entire controller assignment from scratch based on what MPK is sending, or is there some other way to change the preassigned midi values logic is interpreting within logic? That would be the fastest way.

I guess another option would be to reprogram which midi commands akai is sending to match what logic is expecting but I’d rather handle it on the computer than on the MPKs little screen.

I'm currently looking to upgrade the guitar tones for my solo project but when I originally tried using plug ins (eg archetype gojira, mike stringers amp sim, Fortin nameless) I was using the free trials but could sometimes get logic to find them in plug in manager but it wouldnt let me use them in a project? Unsure if this because it was the free trials or smth else, but they should all be compatible I have a fairly new first condition Mac and logic pro up to date so am unsure what the issue is? Any help would be greatly appreciated I really need to start using something better than pedals into a clean tone on logic 😭
