ultimate vocal remover has worked perfectly for me (separating vocals from a backing track). hoping logic's plugin as as good, or better (considering it's additional options). exciting times!

the best tech is always in the hands of those with money; the best studio monitors, top line macs. actual studios. but tech gave us affordable drum machines. macbook airs. garageband. even logic, at $200. so people without the resources for an expensive studio can make music. and they do. whatever AI brings, we'll deal with it.

seems so. and nothing we can do about that, except make the best work we can, as humans, make... and the point is? one person uses a guitar, another a guitar loop. the tools are what they are in any given moment, and we do what we can with them (or they do what they want without us). and life goes on. what else is there?

and that's your right. but this is an endless cycle. i watched a doc from the 60s where some older guy is complaining about rock and roll, and the rolling stones, and how it's not music. 'music' was what he grew up on. then, we have keith richards making the same comments in the present about hip hop. it's tiresome, really. if the tools aren't for you, don't use them. but you can't stop progress. and (in pop culture anyway), someone's present moment is always valid... at least, to them, in their present moment.

tools evolve. drum machines were 'then', AI is 'now'. and tech genies never go back in the bottle. 'learn how to play' is pretty relative. personally, i don't think any of us can set the rules; people make music (film, art) however they make their art, and we like the end result... or not. am not gonna stress about any of it, and just continue to move forward... especially as i can't control the narrative. am out to enjoy as much of all of this as possible; monday, that will be LP 11. EDIT: also, why is it that drummers don't matter, but piano players do? i don't get that at all...

wait for monday, and the release notes, to see what's been done 'under-the hood'. all we're seeing now are new features...

not being rude! trying to suggest something you can actually do in the real world. if we can't control everything, we can, at least, amend some things...

have you rebooted? and does it happen with all projects, or just one? if it's persistant, try changing your display settings (screen size), then back to what you want, then re-open logic...

change your display settings? or check the accessibility settings in system settings...

3 days to '11'. if i start drinking now, i can recover by monday (it's friday 1130am here), and be ready for the new....

i had those bumps and red spots, but the doctor prescribed a cream, and now they're gone.

this. an endless thing (for example, on mac forums): 'where's the new stuff? give us new stuff!", followed by "why did they change things? everything was fine as it was". 😳🤣

why not just keep software in one place, and change nothing? i'm personally glad to see forward motion, in everything; would not want my mac to look like it's 1999 (or something). change is (or can be) inspiring, challenging. also fun... aaaaagh!!

the GUI has changed in small ways over time, and it looks perfectly modern on my mac right now. still, am also looking forward to it's further evolution (a revolution would be cool too, as it would probably terrify all of us 🤣).

the general rule of thumb is to get your master to -14 LUFS, but everyone i work with goes louder (me too), so -11 LUFS to -7 or -8 LUFS. personally am not really interested in dolby atmos until it (or something else) becomes a standard for all streamers. so i do my masters as 44/24 stereo wav files. my experience is, everything works out fine (i've heard my work on spotify, tidal, applemusic, amazon, youtube). mostly, trust your ears (and meters), and streaming services will adapt your mix to their requirements.
