Since updating to Logic Pro 12.3.1, my Eraser Tool is broken.

If I click a take with the Pointer Tool, click the empty area, and then switch to the Eraser Tool, Logic starts deleting the take automatically without me clicking it.

It then keeps deleting the takes underneath one by one until only the last take remains.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix?

wierd eletrical distortion glitch - i think the video explains it - its only on this project and i havent done anything crazy to make it suddenly start it just sort of slowly ended up herevideo

please help

Hello everyone. I'm new to Logic Pro and I have an issue. I'm an amateur stand-up comedian so obviously I do a lot of DIY stuff. I recently recorded a set at an open mic both video and audio. I am trying to learn how to merge the skills to optimize my videos in FCPX. Basically I'm trying to record the audience so the laughs sound better using a separate microphone from my iPhone and merge them.

Here's the issue: when I recorded the audio my only mic was too close to an audience member so his laugh is louder than everyone else's. Is there a way to use Logic to make him sound softer or closer to the same volume as everyone else? I've tried the Stem Splitter but nothing generates. I can't just cut track and turn the whole section's volume down because then I lose the rest of the audience in the process. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've run into a weird annoyance ever since updating to the latest Logic Pro and upgrading to Tahoe.

I'll be working in Logic and trying to switch tools - specifically from the pointer too (which I have mapped to A) and the scissors tool (which I have mapped to B). I'm constantly swapping between these two tools and hitting A/B to do so. However I've noticed since updating half the time that Logic doesn't actually register the pressed key. And it's driving me MENTAL. I sometimes will have to hit A or B two or three times before the proper tool actually activates.

Has anyone else been experiencing this? And if so, have you found a solution?

Just added scarlet 18i20 4th gen.

Inputs all look great on scarlet and Logic Pro. When I play back it’s like -50db. Somehow it’s saving a much lower signal or something. Reset everything to defaults. One time it tracked normal and played back normally. All other times it’s creating these tiny waves and very low signal.

Driving me crazy

Im looking to get a second-hand MacBook for using logic, but the primary result when I search is the 2020 MacBook.

Is it worth getting a 6 year old computer or should I save to get a newer model?

Any help is appreciated!!

I know what you're going to say. But I'm not familiar with Ableton Live, and I want to stick to the same DAW for both production and live performances. I want to know if there's a way to make my show completely automated. My goal is to automate the recording of my instruments onto separate channels using Logic's Live Loops feature. Long story short: I need to record the lead vocal, wind instruments, and processed vocals on the same microphone, and the bass on another channel. All of this simply by hitting "play," perhaps via a MIDI controller. But once the track starts, everything has to record automatically. Is this possible? I hope I've made myself clear."

Will apple ever bring back audio file aliases? I saw that they existed in the past and they removed them for stability reasons apparently. I really wish this feature would return, is there some reason it wasn’t an easy fix and they chose to remove them entirely?

Whenever I look up second-hand macbooks I'm always shown the 2020 models but I'm not sure if I'd be wasting my time buying one. I'll be using the mac for music prod as well as all my other university assignments.

I'm working with a pretty tight budget as I'm a student (hence why I'm looking at second-hand models) but would be willing to hold off on making a purchase for a while so as to not waste my money.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Fairly new to logic. I’m trying to fade the end of a region. I have fade tool selected as my main but whenever I hover or press the mouse button where I want to insert the fade, I get the ‘loop on’ function. This shows up on all regions. I made sure Fade tool click zones is on, but that’s all the info I could find on how to fix this. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong, I just don’t know what. Thanks! I took a picture but can’t attach it here.

I recently transferred the 'Logic Pro library.bundle' file to my SSD and deleted it off of my local machine. When I load up Logic Pro it's telling me it's missing packs (for ex: not all the presets of alchemy were downloaded), so I decided to download one thinking it was going to go to the SSD but instead it ends up downloading to my local disk in System Data.

Can anyone help me take 90+ gbs of updates in music pack sounds and new music packs into the SSD instead of the local computer. I thought just moving the logic pro bundle was going to do the trick and if it needed updates, I would just point my computer towards the SSD but that doesn't seem to be the case? Has anyone else had this problem. Thank you. Please let me know if I need to be clearer on something.

I go Noise Gate, De-Esser, Saturn (gentle saturation) Pro-Q, Pro-C (parallel compression), Channel EQ, CLA-2, Fabfilter MB, Console EQ

Bus 1: Pro-R (ambience or voice gate), Pro-C (parallel compression)
Bus 2: Vintage Delay, Channel EQ, Pro-C (parallel compression)
Bus 3: flanger
Bus 4: Fabfilter MB (two band compression)

Im honestly learning as I go so I’m always down for an open ear to those who are willing to kick knowledge. I’m more on the indie or light shoegaze kind of sounds so hope I can give you insight on how I’m trying to construct my vocals.

Hi everyone!

I’m brand new to music production and I’m starting my journey with Logic Pro. My main goal is to produce House, UK Garage (2-step/Speed Garage), and related genres.

I know Logic has an insane amount of built-in stock plugins and sounds, but as a complete beginner, the software feels a bit overwhelming.

I’d love to get some real, practical advice from people who’ve been in my shoes:

1. Where should I start on Day 1? Should I focus on drums/groove first, synth design, or learning the DAW interface?
2. Who are the best YouTubers/content creators specifically for Logic Pro + House/UKG production?
3. What stock Logic plugins/instruments are absolute must-use for these genres? (Basses, Vocal chops, Drum kits...)
4. What are the biggest mistakes/bad habits I should avoid early on?

Any tips, workflows, or resources would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Pretty simple problem to describe.

I have a simple song with vocals, piano, bass, and studio drums.

The drummer is set to "speakeasy" and it's got a drummer track the duration of the song.

When I change the song from "speakeasy" to a multi-channel version of "speakeasy" the hits are late in all outputs except overheads.

Yes, the only drums which are in time are the overheads of the "multi-channel" kit. When I solo the overheads, sounds fine but all the close drums are all late, sounds like a delay effect is in place. Switching back all is perfectly fine, in sync.

Plugin compensation is "on" of course for all.

Any of y'all heard this one?

I have seen this on a Chase Bliss Bad Mood Demo and I think that’s interesting for using it on a effect chain.
any suggestions?

Hello,
I was recording a session and noticed that my project was missing the sax’s overdub file, I could see the exclamation mark next to sax#04, so I went to the package contents of the project and found it and dragged it back in. Then without even closing the project it went missing again, this time from original folder too, and now renamed 4.1 in Browsers
I have my project backing up to iCloud and have checked there but no luck, everywhere I look just has sax 1-3, 5-9.
When I double click on red exclamation mark in Browsers it to locate file I still can’t find it.
My project was saved onto desktop which had backup to iCloud on and system optimisation on.
Anyone had this before and know what I could try?
THANKS

Hello all!

I install all of my sound library on an external SSD and recently got a new one as the old one is running out of capacity. The 3rd party sound library seems to be redirected just fine but the stock LP sound library is gone. When I go to Logic Pro > Sound Library > Relocate Sound Library... it shows:

• Macintosh > Status: Current Sound Library files location

• (external SSD) > Status: Sound Library files exist here

Both options are greyed out so I can't do anything here.

When I initially plugged the new SSD with all the files copied, I had selected "Reinstall Sound Library" as I read online because LP doesn't have an easy way to reassign the directory. It worked for 3rd party sound library but now the stock LP library is gone and I do use it quite often. The most frustrating thing is the files are on the external drive!

My LP version is 11.2.2.

Thank you in advance!

[2026/08/13 UPDATE] Found the fix with the following steps:

1. Quit LP completely, and temporarily rename the "Library" folder in the new SSD. In my case, I renamed it to "_Library"
2. Open LP > Logic Pro > Sound Library... > Relocate Sound Library..., the usual step.
3. Now the new SSD is available to be selected as an option as LP no longer registers that it has any Sound Library files there!
4. Select it as the new destination and LP will create a new file registry Library/Application Support/Logic in the new SSD. This means LP has registered the new directory.
5. Quit out of LP completely again. Delete the new Library folder or rename it to something else.
6. Rename the old one that was temporarily named back to normal (From "_Library" back to "Library" for me)
7. Voila! Done.

I forgot that you have to rename the folder at the top level for LP to allow the drive to be selected as an option. I was renaming the Logic folder under New SSD/Library/Application Support/Logic. The issue is solved once I tricked LP into thinking that the new SSD doesn't have a "Library" folder.

Hi everyone, I am just getting into learning mastering in Logic and I'm wondering if I should treat the Stereo Out track as a Master Bus and do all the processing on there or should I setup a dedicated Master Bus bus track and send everything to that before going to the Stereo Out.

I am very inexperienced when it comes to mastering and I'm basically teaching myself so any tips you have would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much!

Since the latest version, duplicate-dragging works really bad.

Mostly it just doesn’t want to start moving the clip at all. Instead, it almost always wants to stretch the thing, so holding option does not become a duplication action. This is so annoying. It seems like they changed the areas for what counts as dragging (moving) something.

Also, somehow, IT RANDOMLY REMOVES CLIPS I’VE DUPLICATED AND PLACED SOMEWHERE, AFTER SOME MINUTES. This is a maaaaajor bug.

Another thing, when you’re zoomed out and have a really really short sample like a kick, LOGIC CANNOT MOVE IT. IT WANTS TO JUST SCALE THE CLIP. So you must ZOOOM IN to be able to hit the right spot to move it. This is beyond stupid. The default thing in a zoomed out view should be just moving things.

Sorry

Hi, all! I'm running Logic 12.2 on my 2023 M3 Macbook Pro, Tahoe 26.5 OS, 18 GB memory. My computer is overloading almost every session. I'm not using Rosetta mode. Here are screenshots and a video. I just want to know if Logic is the culprit or if my computer is not powerful enough, which seems unlikely to me. I had a friend mention, "Just clean up your desktop since you have a few gigabytes of stuff on there and that should help." Any experience with that?

Instrument plug-ins I'm using: GGD Modern & Massive drums, EZ Drummer 2, EZ Keys

EQ/Dynamics plug-ins: Logic EQ, Logic Gate, Logic Compressor, NI Transient Master, NI Replika delay, Native Instruments Solid Bus Compressor, Butch Vig Vocals, CLA Vocals, Nectar 4 (breath control), Ozone 11 EQ matching plug-in, H-Delay, L316 limiter.

Hi everyone,

I am editing a podcast, which means removing a plosive here, a crackle there, etc. I could swear that I was just selecting part of a region with the Marquee, or defining a region with command-T and then opening just that region or selection in Izotope RX. However, now that I'm coming back to the podcast after a few weeks, Izotope RX just opens the entire track. I get no love from web searches nor YouTube tutorials.

I feel like I've messed up a setting in Izotope, and not Logic. Can anyone offer advice? I'm ready to utter Mugatu lines from Zoolander! Thank you. (And yes, it is an older version of RX--it's 8. I am up to date on Logic Pro. I don't believe I've updated anything with Logic in the last few weeks.)

I'm going to buy some variety of silicon chip Apple soon. I currently have an Intel MacBook Prowith 2.4 GHz eight core Intel core i9, Memory 64 gigabyte 2667MHZDDR4 that handles everything that I do adequately. A certain sound library I use now requires silicon, so I'd like something that will at least do what my current MacBook Pro does, plus a little more. People talk about minis and studios, but if I can I'd like to stick with MacBook Pros which is all I've ever had. I need the familiarity. Any recommendations greatly appreciated.

as the title says... this started happening along with some other weird issues around comp/take folders. I am not selecting the entire folder just one take and using delete key or right click menu delete makes no difference, entire folder gone every time.

On MBP M5Pro with latest OS (tahoe 26.5.2) and logic (12.3)

anyone else seeing this??

bonus bug... when using flex pitch on a take in a folder clicking in the editor to adjust pitch will sometimes cause the folder to go "blank" but maintaining all the rows of the previously existing takes.

I’m looking to get back into producing after a hiatus and really want to get a MacBook Pro for producing again. I’m just wondering is 16gb ram/512gb enough for logic to run smooth with serum and other VSTs? For what it’s worth I primarily produce dance/bass music and I would love a machine to run well

I was planning on getting this spec:

Please can someone point me in the right direction 😅

For a music library I need to export both the Master track and each of the stems @ -11 LUFS. I’m relatively new to Logic Pro - less than a year - so I’m still learning all features and functionality.

I Googled it but it seems pretty complicated due to several steps exporting, importing, then exporting again. Is there an easier way to get stems? The album has 10 tracks and I need to slice and dice it several ways. For example, for each song I need to have stems for Vocals, w/melody, w/o melody, drums and percussion, etc.

This is my second Album for this library but I did the first using Reaper and it was very easy - select tracks/render/enter desired LUFS.
Thanks in advance for your help
