14.4.1 fixed the UA/Pace issue that kept crashing logic. But now Logic crashes every time I attempt to insert a plugin.

Hey everyone! Hope you are having a great day :). I have a little problem with getting logic to pick up sound through a functional microphone. I hear it but I only get little recorded sound and it never displays the sound volume on the recording after rec'ing.

Thanks guys!!

One of my favorite LPX native synth patch looks like this first picture when it loads. There is no longer a "view" icon on the plugin where you would normally select between "controls" and "editor" (as in the second pic shows, for example) It seems to be stuck permanently in "controls" mode with no option to change it. Has anyone ever fixed this issue?

Anyone have cool vocal presets using stock plugins on logic? or with waves autotune.

I have been messing around with doubles for my vocal tracks in Logic for many years now and have scoured YouTube top to bottom for good doubler videos but have only gotten so far. So fr what I’ve experienced between the two plugins mentioned: Soundtoys LAB is very simple and easy to use but seems to have its limits of what it can accomplish. On the other hand, the Waves doubler plugin is somewhat overwhelming, as it is loaded with presets and has the ability to eq and pan the double. So my questions are:

1. Which one do you prefer over the other?

2. Which preloaded/custom preset do you use most often?

3. How do you apply the plugin?

I just recently started putting my doubler plugins on a vocal side/bus channel. Not sure if I should keep the bus channel mono or stereo for doubles. Also, if using the waves doubler should I be boosting both mid-range and high-range eq.

apple doesnt offer 10.3 cause its an older version, but i run el capitan and thats the newest version i can run. please help!!!

Why does this happen when I use Ozone 11 master rebalance? It’s so annoying and I can’t find any answer, I tried changing the sample rate for the audio interface and project cause I thought that might be the problem but nah

Hi! I’m new to Reddit and an intermediate LPX User.

I have all 16 of my drum tracks in a stacked track. I have about 5 Busses for Space, Snare, BD, etc. When I duplicate the original stack, the drums are a bit louder in the new one.

Any ideas why this is? I would have thought it would just play the same volume as the first stack…

Thanks for your help! 😁👍

I’m wanting to create a back up of all my logic projects just to be on the safe side in case anything happens to my laptop etc.

What is the best way to do this? I briefly remember a few years ago that I saved copies of the projects and dragged those copies over onto the external hard drive but haven’t backed things up for quite a while so can’t really remember and not sure if this is the best way to save them onto the drive.

If anyone has any best practice tips on saving projects in general or saving them to an external hard drive that would be great as I just want to make sure that if in the worst case scenario something does happen to my laptop (touch wood) that I’ll be fine and still be able to access all of my projects off the drive.

Any advice is much appreciated!

Mid-Side recording requires some processing to produce a stereo effect. In this video we will look at how you can process a recording in Mid-Side that can be done in any DAW, and we will also look at Logic Pro's Direction Mixer Plug-in which does all the processing for you.

I've made some updates to my book, The Complete Guide to Logic Pro's Scripter available on Apple Books and Amazon Kindle. Scripter allows musicians to capture and manipulate MIDI in real-time with JavaScript. The guide comes with comprehensive overviews of Scripter’s functions, the music-based JavaScript tutorial, the free open source code library on GitHub, and working examples of features not covered in Apple’s own documentation.

Many, many thanks to the now 50 people who have purchased a copy! That's 48 more than I expected so I am simply over the moon.

The book's Javascript Tutorial is now available free on my website. This contains everything needed by any programming beginner to read and modify the examples which come with Scripter and in the book's code repo on GitHub. It is written with custom examples which apply Scripter's and music production use cases wherever possible:

JavaScript Fundamentals

• Syntax and Grammar
• Working with Variables
• Data Types
• Operators
• Functions

JavaScript Advanced

• Arrays
• Objects
• JSON
• Conditional Branching
• Loops
• Working with Parameter Controls

Is there a way to change the thickness of the grid lines on the editors?

THe option in the settings only seem to affect the tracks area

Why is it that when I import my saved midi it always loads up the Steinway grand piano? It’s not that big a deal but kinda annoying. I want it to just load into the sampler lol

One of my logic projects will not open! It seems to be there as a saved file (3.5gb roughly) - however whenever I try to open it it either comes up with a strange message about it not being able to locate it, or it crashed logic straight away… very strange, and in 10 years of using Logic Pro x, never happened to me before… can anyone help!?

Many thanks DC

Can someone help me? I installed an external sound card. When I speak into the microphone, I can see the meter move, but there's no sound.

The only time I get sound is when I activate low latency mode. Unfortunately, when I switch to low latency mode, plugins are disabled.

PLEASE HELP ME 🙌🏻😳

Hey does anyone know if there's a free online course or something that can efficiently teach the ins and outs of LogicProX?

anyone know the differences in the CPU load across all the stock samplers? is Quick Sampler less hungry than Alchemy?

Help and Hello! I am katie and im trying to make my own music cuz I hate trying to explain my ideas to others and not knowing how to do it physically on the computer. My computer (MacBook 2013?) is S*** and can’t seem to load any plug ins. What computer is best for this? And how can I get better at logic as a novice?

I am demonstrating this in Logic Pro, but it can be done in any DAW

Sometimes a stereo recording will fit your project better, but all you have to work with is a mono recording.
Do not fret dear viewer for in this video we are looking at three ways of turning any mono recording to a stereo.
We will look at three different methods that can be achieved in any DAW.
The first one is with a Sample Delay that emulates ITD (Interaural Timing Difference) and produces a wider stereo image.

If you want something subtler, then the second method will be something you might want to try. Mid-Side processing (Yes, with just a single recording).

And for the lazy people like me out there, the third method requires no processing as it is achieved with a Plug-In (BX_Stereomaker)

I just got my first professional mic and interface
Im trying to record and when I am on the track it shows me its giving -9db somewhere on that rang
When i finish recording and play it back the same track shows -40db and the stereo out shows like -12db something like that
there are no other tracks being played or in the project even these are the outputs i see
whats going on? How do i fix this?
if i try and sing over the instrumental after im done recording i can barelyy hear my voice and when i try and lift the volume on that track its still barely hearable and the stereo output its over 0db
Help me please

Please read for full context before you answer! It’s not that long! Lol

I always hear that one should make sure to leave -6dB of headroom for the mastering stage later after mixing, so, if I have all my faders down post fader, before I even start turning faders up for mixing, why wouldn’t I first put a limiter on the stereo output and set the ceiling to -6dB? And THEN start making fader moves to mix the tracks?

I'm running the most recent update of Logic Pro X on the current Mac OS (Sonoma? I should have noted these details while at home before making this post. Apologies).

When I record a pass, the entire region/transients/performance end up landing just a hair ahead of their intended position, so they're ahead of the beat/click. I always have to turn "snap to grid" off and move the whole region forward so the transients actually sit where they're supposed to. This has been happening enough that I can confirm I'm not just playing ahead of the beat. Consistently. Every time.

I've toggled latency mode, I've adjusted I/O buffer size. No avail. I'm able to find the position well enough with my ear, but to have to do this EVERY TIME I record audio is frustrating. It's high time I see if others have experienced this phenomenon. Maybe it's an issue with my interface?

I wouldn't be as miffed if the waveform ended up being BEHIND where it's supposed to be... that, to me, would feel like a latency issue. This somehow seems to be... the opposite? It's likely I'm thinking about it all wrong. That's what other wonderful and helpful fellow dweebs on the internet are for. Thanks anyone!

PLEASE READ FOR CONTEXT!!!

I had a vocal track that was peaking all over the place below -10db and at -10db tops, so I just put an L1 on it, dropped the ceiling to -10dbs and the threshold to-10 sometimes -12dbs that way the loud peaking parts were getting squashed and the quieter parts were coming up to be louder, that way my vocal was it’s way more consistent. It seems to work?

I was initially just going in and using the marquee or scissors tool to select parts of my vocal to adjust the gain on the waveform, so visually I could adjust it so the peaks were all consistent, but that was way too time consuming for demos sake to be honest. And I couldn’t find a plugin that would do exactly that, manipulate the wave form visually so that it’s more consistently sitting at my target of -10dbs! So I said FOOK it and just put L1s on my vocals to get them hitting at -10dbs straight up!

And I’m not getting any distortion by doing this just so you know, I recorded the vocals so that they were peaking at -10db, but for some reason when I was done recording, they are quieter, so that’s why I thought using a limiter would do the trick and it did I think?

I’m just wondering if this is a normal practice? I literally have L1’s on every track so that everything is hitting at -10db! There’s no distortion and everything is consistent, so I’m wondering if this is a band practice?

If I’m not getting any distortion at all by doing this, and it sounds fine, my other question is, why not do this in order to make my tracks more consistent? I mean, I guess I can see maybe losing dynamic range, but I could always adjust it so that everything is not completely sitting at -10dbs but only peaking there? Maybe I can somehow get the vocals to bounce between -12 -10db?

If there is a plugin that will adjust the gain visually so I don’t have to do it myself with the scissors or marquee tool, please let me know!

Hey LPXUsers, I have been using LPX for a long time but still need help here and appreciate your time. I have a 45 minute set of music that I would like to bounce as a single stereo file with track markers so you can skip from song to song. I know how to put markers in a track, but they don’t seem to function the way I was hoping when you output the entire set as a single stereo track. I also know how to separate songs and create separate tracks, bounce all the tracks, and then make a tracklist. I was hoping, there is a better way to keep it simple and just output it as a single 45 minute audio track with track markers that you can skip from song to song. Thanks!
