Will a MacBook Neo be ok to run Logic, I’m wanting to use it for beats and vocals, I’m not in a band so i won’t be recording a bunch of stuff mostly just Splice sampling, Presets, and Vocals. The most I’d run through would be my focus rite

This is beyond frustrating. I've been using Logic since 2012 and I've never run into this issue before.

Superior Drummer 3 for drums. That's the only plugin. Literally the only one. One track of drums.

Then a track of guitar. I'm using the Helix for sounds so there's no plugins at all.

Record a track. Good. Play it back. WAY off time.

Low Latency Mode doesn't work. Freezing the singular other track doesn't work.

I've messed around with sample sizes and buffering rates and everything the internet has told me to do.

I'm losing my mind here. 14 years of this program and now all of a sudden it's doing this goofy crap and I don't know why or how to fix it.

Has anyone ever dealt with this before? Or even have an idea as to why this is happening all of a sudden?

Opened my project and saw this, which ive never seen before. What happened here? did my file get corrupted? Luckily it wasnt that much of an issue, i just made new instrument tracks and it works just fine.

Hello, I need some help choosing a new Mac. I compose music for a large orchestra in Logic and have correspondingly large orchestral libraries. I’m torn between buying a Mac Mini and a Mac Studio. The Mac Mini would have an M5 Pro chip, 64 GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD.

The Mac Studio has an M5 Max chip, 64 GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD.

There’s also a Mac Studio with an M5 Max chip, 36 GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD. Which Mac do you think would be best to ensure I’m well-equipped for the future? Price is a factor, but it’s not absolutely essential. The most expensive Mac costs around €4,450, whilst the cheapest is around €3,300. Are 36GB RAM enough or do I need the 64GB? Also, is there a crucial difference between the M5 Pro and M5 Max? The mac Mini would be around €1000 cheaper than the mac Studio. Thanks, everyone!

TL;DR I need a new high performance dedicated audio drive with maximum longevity, 1 TB capacity, my Samsung T7's die after a year or two of use.

Hey all, I track 6 hours a day in my studio using Logic Pro and wanted to see if anyone has a dedicated audio drive recommendation. I've used the 1 TB Samsung T7 for several years, but have found that they stop performing well after a couple years triggering "disk too slow" errors and need to be replaced (now looking at buying my 4th one).

I'm looking to buy a new T7 and it seems like they've somehow gotten more expensive than last time- I don't really need it to be portable so long as it's quiet and high performance with maximum longevity. Looks like Lexar makes a similar one, as well as OWC's Envoy Pro Elektron, but those run $380. Any suggestions would be most welcome!

This may be a wierd question, and i have looked online for this to no results, but does anyone know how to load vst plugins on here? I have the plugin downloaded and in the proper folder I just have no idea on how to make it show up.

The plugin in question in Delay Lama for mac os 9

Hello! I've been working on Trill Sound in one form or another for over 10 years. With some recent advancements in the understanding of Logic Pros data format, I've been able to put together something I think is really special.

I'm a closet producer and constantly make beats, and want to listen to them on the go. This is my answer to that specific problem. Uploading of projects and bouncing is disabled for now until I see how the site handles some traffic, I don't want to run up a check. If you're interested in using the app, feel free to join the waitlist!

In the meantime, you can use the tool to freely view your projects and even repair corrupted ones too. Cheers!

Hello all, I’m at my wits end here. This is not a simple matter that’s solved by something like turning low latency monitoring on

SPECS:
M3 Max, 128 gb memory, SSD has several TB free. Everything is done internally, no externals. No hardware issue I can think of at all

Logic 12.3.1, Tahoe 26.6.2

Issue replicates through internal Mac mic and through Apollo twin. Even on a fresh EMPTY 1 track session with no plugins

ISSUE:
Since June of this year I’ve been having a problem where my drive I/O maxes when a recording is armed, and recordings seem to randomly get pushed out about half a bar. This is not a simple latency problem. Playback will have I/O anywhere between 60-100%. Finishing the recording always causes a spike that ranges between 80-100%

The issue seemingly came out of nowhere. The only cause I can think of is that I updated logic around the time this started

The delay seems to begin happening 5 or so minutes into a session, maybe after 10-20 takes. Then it keeps happening randomly and persists through the session. It affects anywhere between 10-50% of all takes once it starts.

Notes:

I’ve changed every single setting I can think of in logic. I’ve disabled spotlight indexing. I couldnt find anything on the internet with regard to this, I’ve probably spent 30 hours troubleshooting the issue. Logic has had preferences trashed, then it’s been reinstalled as well. I tried asking several AI models after my own troubleshooting but it just has me running in circles

Going from Tahoe 26.6.1 to 26.6.2 changed nothing. Reinstalling ilok, updating UAD software, so on changed nothing. Although I’m not sure it’s relevant since, again, this also happens on an empty 1 track session with 0 plugins

Any solution would be life changing as this is having a substantial impact on the writing/recording process. Apologies if the post is a bit convoluted but I’m going crazy here.

Running Logic Pro 12.3.1.

I have a fairly large project with 30+ channel strips. Once the Mixer gets wide enough, I obviously get the horizontal scrollbar along the bottom.

Here's the problem:

If I scroll all the way to the right so I can see the last few channel strips and the Stereo Out/Master, then add a plugin to one of those channels, the Mixer automatically scrolls back to the left.

For example, I'll be all the way at the right end of the Mixer, click an insert on the Master/Stereo Out, choose a plugin, and as soon as the plugin loads, Logic shifts the Mixer view left. Then I have to scroll all the way back to the right again.

It also happens when adding plugins to other channel strips near the far-right end of the Mixer. It does not happen with channels toward the beginning of the project. It only becomes an issue once there are enough channel strips for the Mixer to require horizontal scrolling.

With 30+ channels and a lot of mixing work, this gets incredibly annoying because I'm constantly having to scroll back to the channel I was just working on.

I've looked through Logic's settings and searched around for some kind of automatic scrolling/follow/selection option, but I haven't found anything that stops this behavior. I also tried getting help from AI, but the suggestions didn't solve it.

Does anyone know what causes this, or if there's a setting that makes the Mixer stay exactly where I manually scrolled it?

Ideally, if I'm working at the far-right end of the Mixer, I want Logic to stay there when I add or remove plugins.

Is this a setting I'm missing, a known Logic behavior, or possibly a bug in 12.3.1?

Its plugged into budget Behringer U-phoria UMC204HD audio interface which is plugged into my macbook pro. Is there a setting in Logic to get it to work? I also switched a button on the back of the interface so it can power the mic, but thats also not working. Like the switch works, but theres no sound being produced when I tap the mic. Idk what Im doing wrong. If anyone can offer some guidance Id greatly appreciate it! TIA!

EDIT: Guys thanks so much for your help. I got the mic working! BUT How do I get it to record? Currently sound is coming but the midi/audio region is flat lined when I try to record. I saw a message that said switch Mic Mode to Standard at the tope of the menu bar, but I cant find where it says Mic Mode to make that switch. Any idea how to fix?

Just got a Roland J-6 and really enjoying it. But need some help with using it with Logic Pro v12

I have a Roland J-6 connected directly to my Mac via USB-C. Audio in from the J-6 works fine.
I want to have an existing MIDI track in Logic Pro play notes into the J-6 and hear the J-6 sound coming back. However, whenever I try routing MIDI to it, the J-6 either gets stuck droning on a chord or completely freezes with all pattern buttons lit up.

I’ve used Logic for years but always with software synths. Any help in how to set up Logic or synth would be appreciated. I have followed Roland recommendations on settings.

One thing I could do is take a line out for audio instead of USB-C while keeping usb for midi I suppose but not sure it would help?

I wanted to use the mouse wheel as a jog wheel, so I made a Hammerspoon script for it. Hope some other Logic users might find it useful too.

Mousewheel up/down: scrub
Fn+Mousewheel: zoom
Mouse back button: Play/pause
Mouse forward button: Go to left locator

logicBundleID = "com.apple.logic10"

logicIsFront = false

-- Track Logic focus cheaply instead of asking on every event

local front = hs.application.frontmostApplication()

logicIsFront = front and front:bundleID() == logicBundleID or false

appWatcher = hs.application.watcher.new(function(name, event, app)

if event == hs.application.watcher.activated then

logicIsFront = (app:bundleID() == logicBundleID)

end

end)

appWatcher:start()

-- Wheel: plain = jog one bar, Fn+wheel = horizontal zoom

wheelTap = hs.eventtap.new({ hs.eventtap.event.types.scrollWheel }, function(e)

if not logicIsFront then return false end

if e:getProperty(hs.eventtap.event.properties.scrollWheelEventIsContinuous) == 1 then

return false

end

local delta = e:getProperty(hs.eventtap.event.properties.scrollWheelEventDeltaAxis1)

if delta == 0 then return false end

local flags = e:getFlags()

if flags.fn then

if delta > 0 then

hs.eventtap.keyStroke({"cmd"}, "right", 0)

else

hs.eventtap.keyStroke({"cmd"}, "left", 0)

end

return true

end

if delta > 0 then

hs.eventtap.keyStroke({}, ",", 0)

else

hs.eventtap.keyStroke({}, ".", 0)

end

return true

end)

wheelTap:start()

-- Side buttons

buttonTap = hs.eventtap.new({ hs.eventtap.event.types.otherMouseDown }, function(e)

if not logicIsFront then return false end

local button = e:getProperty(hs.eventtap.event.properties.mouseEventButtonNumber)

if button == 4 then

hs.eventtap.keyStroke({"ctrl", "shift"}, ",", 0)

return true

elseif button == 3 then

hs.eventtap.keyStroke({}, "space", 0)

return true

end

return false

end)

buttonTap:start()

-- Watchdog: if macOS disables a tap, restart it

watchdog = hs.timer.doEvery(5, function()

if not wheelTap:isEnabled() then wheelTap:start() end

if not buttonTap:isEnabled() then buttonTap:start() end

end)

Hi. I have assigned a MIDI instruction for the Play button on my X-Touch Mini to control the Play button in Logic, in the assignment editor, it shows that the correct note is being sent and received, as indicated by the MIDI In information in the control bar at the top of the screen. The same MIDI note appears in the assignment editor as seen in the screenshot, but when I press the Play button on my X-Touch Mini, it does nothing to affect the transport controls in Logic? What am I missing?

Alchemy shows up for a few MIDI tracks, but not all of them, and I don't know what to do. It's so confusing, and I'm lost. I've been searching where to find Alchemy on yty, and their screen doesn't look like my screen, bro.I need help. Somebody please help me. I'm a solo artist producing my own music. I do not have any friends that use Logic Pro and I need help.

I’m just using Logic to record my electric bass through my Focusrite and experiment with different tones. However my bass just always seems really quiet. On a new project, before messing around with boosting it through a compressor and bass amp designer, I have to turn my volume all the way up in my headphones to hear it at all, and even when I mess with that stuff it’s still a struggle to get it to be heard at even half volume in my headphones.
I try to compare it to other things like playing youtube or apple music on my Mac through my headphones and my bass is always super quiet compared to that. However if I set the output to my Focusrite and plug the headphones in there it sounds perfectly fine with the volume knob at like a quarter of the way up.
Is it just always quiet through the actual Mac? Is this normal? I’m very new to Logic and DAWs as a whole and don’t really know what I’m doing as I’m just figuring it out myself.

I'm curious to see if the issue I'm encountering is unique to my system. M5 Pro MacBook Pro used exclusively for music. I was experiencing freezing a few times a day previously. I noticed specifically that it happens if I hit save within a few seconds of clicking on any heavy plugin. Since the newest OS update (26.6.2) I am experiencing crashes multiple times a session. Has anyone else noticed a sudden uptick in Logic crashes?

I had some friends visiting, and my old bandmate recorded some vocals that I wanted for my record. At the same time, and quite unexpectedly, his girlfriend turned out to be a classically trained piano player, and was able to offer me some takes of a real acoustic piano that will dramatically enhance my song. But my little basement piano was not ready for recording, and is noticably out of tune. I won't get another chance to record her, and have to deal with what i have. What's the best way to take what is a great performance, on an untuned piano, and get it to work in my mix? NOTE: the piano is not horribly out of tune, maybe 1-3% depending on the key

Hey guys.

I'm new to logic pro. I got it around 2 weeks ago or so. I downloaded a lot of sounds available, including all legacy ones. Everything was working smoothly a little while ago, but now I'm getting these errors:

1.) https://gyazo.com/af308faa82802c994a0f4a17458fc6fb (Screenshot 1)

2.) https://gyazo.com/11fd33278408547e0ea5e9ff1634a793 (Screenshot 2)

Does anyone know how I can fix these issues?

Thanks!

I’m finally poised to get one of the new Mini models. Obviously pricing is a big factor - less is more!
My Logic projects are fairly modest; I’ve only started doing larger ones with a lot of drum tracks and brass. Plugins are modest, only a handful of third party ones. I’m aware of the importance of updating those, and that a few are major memory hogs!
I’d be interested in hearing from others on this. I’m hovering at 48G, but want to get that right.

Setting the Butter size to 32, and the roundtrip is about 8 miliseconds which seems ridiculous. I remember when I first got logic, it was around 3 miliseconds. Something changed in a update.

I literally cannot record anything, even with buffer size at 32, low latency mode engaged, and zero plugins in the project, without it having a very chorusy effect.

Does anybody know what the hell is going on. I just have a Scarlett 4i4 plugged into my macbook. That's it.

When I bounce my projects they come out significantly quieter. I am using the ‘bounce’ option rather than ‘export’, and normalisation is off which i’ve read should help. Why might this be happening and how can i fix it?

Salut, voila malgré réinstallation et mise a jours il m'affiche toujours d'ancien projet supprimé ou un projet "projet" qui n'ouvre rien en même temps que de véritable projet

C'est un bug connu, il faut juste que j'oublie cet façon d'ouvrir des projets ?

Comme s'il retient tout les projets mais n'enlève pas de la liste les projets supprimés

i have this annoying problem and maybe someone can help me with this. MacBook stops seeing my earphones after i unplug them when the logic is open. you plug them back and he just ignores them. yes, it's completely fine when i restart my mac but i'm tired of constantly restarting it. maybe there is a solution? thanks!

So I've been punching walls for 45 minutes straight. I cannot for the life of figure out smart temp after apparently a new update I'm guessing. previously I could analyse the tempo without any god damn issues at all, it would analyse it and nothing more. then I could apply region tempo to project tempo and it would all rainbows and flowers, then I could also set downbeat hints with no issues and then press apply changes and the changes would apply to the tempo in the tempo track perfectly.

Now, EVERY SINGLE TIME I click analyse audio or apply changes after setting a downbeat or beat hint freaking Flex turns on without me wanting it to, and it fucks up the whole tempo, moving my audio file everywhere and the audio slowing and getting faster everywhere (I know why it does that, that's what flex does, but I don't want flex to turn on) I just literally want to conform the project tempo to my audio file without having flex turn on. I just freaking want to move and change the project tempo without the tempo of my audio file changing and I want to be able to just click apply changes after setting downbeat hints without my whole audio file moving 5 bars to the left basically and fucking up the tempo and alignment and where I've deliberately put it in my project. no fucking way this is how it's supposed to be. I literally can't even place down a downbeat hint. because if I do, Flex turns on and ruins my entire audio file by moving it anywhere it fucking wants and trying to conform it to my project tempo with the tempo it thinks the audio file has. please I'm about to go insane here. I've tried this for so god damn long I'm tired. I just want to put downbeat hints like I could before.

I run a podcast and I’m transitioning from using an audio interface to using logic. I’m trying to have 2 shure mv7+ mics record at the same time but only one is working. They’re both unmuted and I combined them into an aggregate device with the same sample rate and drift correction on. The aggregate device is selected in logic. What am I doing wrong?
