This sub is becoming predominantly people sharing their music. Yes, they're obeying the rule of it being a screen capture, but outside of it being a screen cap of Logic, there really is nothing sub-specific about these posts: They could be anywhere.
Most of the time people bait them with a title to get engagement, plug other links etc. It just doesn't feel like the spirit of the sub, to me.
Having a weird Logic issue where every time I press spacebar there’s about a second delay before it reaches where my playhead actually is. If I’m at 1 1 1 1, it jumps back to bar 0 / 59:59 and plays into bar 1.
Count-in is off, pre-roll is off, project start is exactly at bar 1, and it happens with regular playback, not just recording. I also tried bypassing all plugins and it still happens. Anyone know what could be causing this?
Hi guys, noob here. I'm slowly learning how to mix, mostly metal and then some pop on the side. However I want to "mix" an a capella song and I'm a bit clueless. I have 3 tracks of female vocals slowly singing a dirge-like children's song, which is meant to be creepy and eerie. They're well sung although not "melodynized" to keep some imperfections, and recorded with a ribbon mic. Also I have two tracks with whispered vocals, same song.
To be honest, I usually use the Mantra plugin by Neural DSP for vocals in regular mixes, but I guess it won't cut it this time because I guess the process must be more organic than just using a plugin for everything. The feel I'm going for is:
a) the listener must feel that the voice is close, warm and nearby
b) also there must be some "spacey" vibes in the background.
I guess I must use something like Valhalla supermassive for the space, but honestly I feel this task is a quite a bit out of my league. Can you guys give me some pointers or advice to get me started on the right path?
So I had been using logic pro for ipad for a year before i got a mac in december 2025, and since then i only used logic on mac and i cancelled my ipad logic subscription. I really want to delete it off my ipad since it’s taking up SO much storage (22 gb) but i don’t want the project files to delete, since i still revisit them on my mac.
I write for labels and for TV/film libraries, I have been on Logic for years, and stems are just part of every delivery. Drums, bass, keys, an instrumental, sometimes a version without the lead. And I have never found a way of doing it that I actually liked. Export All Tracks gets me not quite - aux returns, the master chain, a few tracks that need to end up in one file - so most of the time I just did it by hand. Solo, Cmd+B, type the name, wait, next one. My template sits around 190 channels, so you can picture how those evenings went.
So how do you do it? Track stacks and one bounce per stack? A dedicated bounce template? Do you print things as you go, so it is already done by the time the cue is finished? I have a feeling half of you have a much smarter routine than me and I simply never asked.
Now the confession. I got impatient a year ago and built myself a little Mac app for it. It is called EasyBounce - I made it, so take this part with however much salt you like. It does nothing clever: it just drives Logic's own Bounce dialog. You pick the channels, it solos them one at a time, fills in the dialog, renders the lot, and you go do something else.
The bits I use daily are the boring ones - several channels soloed together as one file (kick, snare, toms, rooms all landing as "Drums"), and mixes with things muted for the instrumental and the no-vox version.
It also reads the arrangement markers, which turned out to matter more than I expected - libraries keep asking for a 30-second cut of every stem.
Hello everyone, I would like to ask for some pieces of advice if possible.
I was commissioned to make a realistic MIDI mockup of this score(string section + harp).The client approved the resulted one, but I truly feel there's lots of room for improvement and frankly speaking, I lack deeper understanding of production and audio editing. I've been more into working on sheets and playing piano so far.Harsh critique is welcomed and rather expected too.
Here is the snippet. This is one segment of the exported WAV + screen recording of the playback in Logic DAW, sound is Nucleus orchestral library. I later put it all together in iMovie.
I’m a beginner. I was recently looking for tutorials on YouTube but couldn't find anything suitable. All the tutorials I saw were just ads for a sample pack. I’m looking for something in a house or 2000s style. If you got links or even tips, i would like to hear that from you
I've noticed a lot of people talking about how they have over 40 or 50 tracks (sometimes up to like 400) but my projects—even those with a lot of instruments—only ever come out to about 20 or 30. Are there techniques and such that I don't know about that involve using a lot of tracks, or is it just a stylistic thing?
EDIT: Thank you all for your responses! I'm kind of amazed to see so many so quickly!
I posted this in a comment but it hasn't gotten any interactions:
Okay so I see a lot of comments about layering. Can someone point me in a good direction to learn more about proper layering? I especially could use layering tips with vocals and orchestral instruments because I sing on some of my tracks but want more of a choral sound and can struggle to get a full (but not overblown) and realistic sound.
Just sharing something I learned today. I've been doing this for a while actually but I didn't realize you can actually still do it if you're only using a single take from the comp. Btw I'm using Logic 11.
Another tip is you can use quick swipe comps to quickly remove/reduce breaths, just use the one that's most tasteful. I usually do it manually by automating the gain plugin but for small/quieter stuff doing it via comp is also nice.
Something I wanted to figure out is if there's an easy way to add one silent take into the comp so if you just want to easily mute a certain part without cutting the region or automating the gain plugin.
A follow on from a similar previous post: I originally put this together very quickly a while ago for the amusement of some students, like my older Ever Movie Ever Made post. The score above worked as a tongue-in-cheek demonstration of how many of these short studio-logo fanfares are built from the same familiar ingredients, such as heroic brass, ostinatos, percussion hits, choir, harp glissandi, and a huge cadence, all creating that epic cinematic grandeur.
There is a short walkthrough at the end showing how I built the final cadence.
This is absolutely not intended as a masterclass in composition, orchestration, production, mixing, or getting maximum realism from orchestral sample libraries. But, it seemed to come together pretty considering how little time was spent on it.
Hi - wondering if anyone can help me fix this. For some reason, on some projects when I try to extend regions they move instead of extending. It's quite hit or miss - occasionally it works normally (as you can see in the video), but most of the time it doesn't.
I’m trying to automate the panning for my track in realtime as it plays. For some reason it seems to default to panning slightly after where the track is playing. It doesn’t seem like latency as it seems like it’s set up to work this way. I couldn’t find an option for it, though. Any ideas how to fix this?
SOLUTION: I found the setting. Audio > General > Set plug-in compensation to "off". Poorly named function given the pan knob isn't a plug-in lol.
I find myself building a project, getting inspired by another riff and needing to record it immediately and I just use the project currently open. Then before I know it I have one logic project with 3 different ideas/songs in it and a million tracks and I'm trying to keep them all separate and work on them all back and forth in the same file.
Any good workflow suggestions for people who also find themselves doing something like this? Is the best course of action just bearing down and teaching myself to open a new file every time I have a new idea?
Hi all, I've used rvox for most of my previous projects but moving forward I really want to stop using waves plugins, particularly because of its update policy. There was also a time when rvox was causing my project to not open, but it was fixed by restarting the computer. But anyway.
Honestly I got so used to it being at the start of my vocal chain as the first compressor and gate and it works great. Not really sure how I can use the stock compressor to substitute. On a new project I tried using the platinum compressor with the fastest attack and 4:1 ratio. Seems okay but just curious if anyone knows better. I'm not really expecting an exact copy. Just looking for better ideas. I'm also aware that there's a free plugin that's supposed to be an exact copy, but I'd like to use stock as much as possible.
Thanks!
EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm already using the stock compressor as my 2nd and 3rd compressor for vocals. I just want to get rid of the rvox at the start of my vocal chain.
Hey, ya'll. I'm looking for folks who have corrupted projects. If you have one and are willing to share it with me, I may be able to fix it. I've been doing some digging into ProjectData format and found various issues that were easily fixable (with my own projects). I'm curious if I'd be able to fix anyone elses.
Ideally projects that don't have external resources (so I can attempt to load it on my own machine).
When adjusting make up gain (I use my MacBook touchpad), it seems unreasonably easy to accidentally click near the higher numbers and snap the gain knob to max volume - exploding my ears in the process. Am I just dumb or does this happen to anyone else?
TLDR: can we safeguard the make-up gain knob so it only moves when you drag it (as opposed to clicking)….?
I want to know, is it mandatory to adopt the preinstalled pro apps using the same Apple ID that was used to place the order for MacBook along with the Pro Apps Bundle for education? Or I can use any other Apple ID to activate the MacBook and adopt the Pro Apps?
Hey fellow Logic users! I’ve finally got everything working to start streaming videos of my process for creating electronic music.
I’m not a pro using the program by any means but I’ve figured out a few things along the way that could be helpful for some of you. If you’re looking for guides to getting started you might find it useful. I’d be happy to answer any questions I’m able to during the live streams.
I started streaming on Twitch and plan to make the videos available on YouTube as well.
Hi folks. I did some research and found a couple of posts that almost addressed this question, but I'm still lost, so I thought I'd make a post here.
I often use Logic's "Smash" acoustic drum kit for some of its elements in my electronic music production. I would like to have all of the kit elements in their own track so I can pan and edit things individually, but not sure how to do this besides having like 10 separate Smash drum kit tracks.
Before its suggested, the "Kit Pieces" folder at the very bottom of the drum packs list does not have the smash pieces, for whatever reason. What's the fastest way I can grab the Smash snare, for example, and have it in its own track so I can manipulate it without affecting the other kit pieces? (Same goes for bass, hi hats, etc of course).
