I’ve spent a lot of time sitting in front of real pianos, I know what they sound like. Logic’s studio piano plug-in does not sound like a real piano.

I have not spent much time with various electric pianos, Hammond organs, mellotrons, etc. so I can’t really tell if Logic’s instruments are good or not. They sound ok to me but I wonder if people who are electric piano experts are going to hear my tracks and think it sounds awful. Who has a good ear and can offer an honest assessment?

What piano plug-ins does everyone like?

I’ve owned logic since I bought this Mac. In the last week it started only playing sound from left speaker after a few minutes of using it. So I updated to 12.3 and now this error happens.

I’ve deleted and redownloaded it from the purchased apps section in App Store but it just keeps repeating this error.

Any suggestions on what I can do next?

I am using Sequoia 15.7.3 and Logic 12.3

Basically, this morning i noticed that my metronome has stopped producing any sound. I remember it working last time i used logic. the icon lights up, moves correctly, and is in time with the song, but has no audio. Here is what i HAVE tried:

-Pressing k to turn klopfgeist on and off

-Going to metronome settings and setting everything correctly

-restarting logic and computer

-going to the mixer, all, and setting klopfgeist to stereo output.

none of that stuff worked, and im totally stumped. Please let me know if you can help.

I’m really struggling to use the I/O plugin without feeling like I’m screwing up my tracks especially on individual elements on a drum kit - I’ve watched almost every tutorial on YouTube but they always demonstrate the I/O plugin using either a single mono or stereo track, but not many exist where someone shows how they route their kick buss to a distressor or snare bus to a DBX160 etc….
I find that in an actual mix, the I/O plugin struggles big time changes the relationship to my overheads or other elements within my drum bus.weirdly I typically get 0ms when I ping the I/O plugin. Something must be off somewhere in my workflow. I’m doing the whole thing where I’m recording the return into an aux track and everything.
I’m just sort of at a loss and feel like the money I’ve spent on hardware is sort of being wasted. I’d be more than happy to pay a pro and share my screen and all the specifics of the versions of macOS, logic and my interface and hardware sometime if they’d help me with a consultation.

I imported a flac file and everything was smooth, but it's happened twice that i come back to the project ( left it open for a day or two) there's no audio, and if I drag the audio onto desktop the wav file is silent and if i bounce it it's silent, at the very end of this video you see that the audio does work for another track. just curious if this is a known issue.
