No worries, hope it's useful!

Thanks Eric! Example attached Expander example.mp3.zip

Or you could use the Expander plugin with the kick signal routed in through the side chain. Just gave this a whirl here and got some pretty nice results. Unfortunately can't attach an mp3 example but it definitely works to increase the bass volume at the same time the kick hits whilst leaving the bass present between kicks.

Thanks Jordi! That worked beautifully

Hi Does anyone know whether it's possible to change Logic's default behaviour when creating a summing stack so that it isn't created to include a Logic EQ/compressor, which I'm very rarely going to use. I'd preferably like it to be a blank canvas. Thanks Stan

No worries! The manual should open up if you go to 'Help -> Logic Pro Help'. It's also online here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/logic_pro_x_user_guide.pdf

One way of doing this is to: 1. Open the mixer by pressing either X, cmd-2 or the mixer button in the control bar. 2. Highlight the tracks you wish to route to a bus - if they're next to each other you can click/drag across them, if they're not, highlight the first one you wish to route then press cmd before clicking on the other tracks. 3. Where it says 'Output', approximately half way down the channel strip, click and hold. A small menu will appear. One of the headings is 'Bus'. When you hover the mouse pointer over the word 'Bus' a big list of buses will appear. Pick the one you want to route the tracks to and if that bus doesn't yet exist in the mixer, it will be created automatically. 4. Insert your Pro-Q on the bus and voila. There are other ways to do this, including defining the routings from the Inspector visible down the left hand side of the main window or using the new 'track stacks' feature to create a 'Summing Stack', details of which can be found in the Logic X manual (search for 'submix'). Stan

It would also be nice to be able to open track stacks in the mixer, which doesn't seem to be possible (I've had a look around and checked the manual but no joy) - am I missing something?

Oh well, no worries, cheers David

Thanks Jordi!

Whilst it wasn't perfect in LP9, I was rather fond of using the playhead zoom function, but it no longer seems to be a feature in LPX. Does anyone know if it has been done away with? Or is it now an option that I need to turn on? From LP9 manual (for the sake of clarity): Playhead zoom info in LP9 manual

A pretty minor thing, granted, but does anyone know a way to customise the control bar in LPX without having the option window for doing so sitting on top of the control bar? It would be nice to see what effect changes are having without having to close the option window if the changes happen to be manifesting themselves in the central area that the window currently obscures. Thanks Stan

Just to check, though, to get Logic (9) to do the conversion I just need to import the audio via File > Import Audio File or via the Bin, rather than dragging from Finder? (This seems to work and creates a new version of the file with '-24b' at the end, but I want to be sure I'm doing it right!) Having only tried dragging and dropping previously, I suppose I used the wrong terminology yesterday when I used the word 'import'.

Thanks guys! Between you there you plugged that gap I figured may have existed in my understanding!
