That is good to know, thanks. Yes, if I end up migrating to Logic Pro X, I will definitely keep Logic 9 handy and just make copies of the songs for Logic X. That seems like a good practice, so I have a safety net.

Logic just developed a problem that has ground all my music projects to halt. I hope one of you fine folks can help me remedy this. Recently when I opened a project and played it, the sound was extremely degraded. It sounds like the song is being played on a tiny transistor radio speaker with an extreme amount of distortion. It also sounds extremely quiet — maybe 15 dB quieter than it should. It’s just a tiny thin frazzled sound. The song sounded fine last time I worked on it, which was yesterday. Suspecting this particular Logic file might have gotten corrupted somehow, I opened a different, older project, and… same result: The song, which previously sounded fine, now sounds like its being played back on a tiny, tinny, distorted radio speaker, extremely quietly. When I play back audio through iTunes or stream it through YouTube, it sounds fine, so I don’t think the problem is with my general audio setup (which I have not changed lately). I should mention that I’m working on very old gear: A 2012 quad-core Mac Mini (with 16 GB of RAM) running Logic Pro 9 on Mac OS 10.12.6 (Sierra). It has worked fine until now. Logic has had its bugs, but nothing catastrophic like this. I’m beginning to wonder if this very old program is just becoming unstable, but I’m reluctant to upgrade to Logic Pro X because I’m in the middle of an album project, and have ten songs that were started in Logic 9, and are works in progress. I imagine that converting Logic files from version 9 to version 10 will cause more problems than it will solve, so I’d rather finish these in 9 before I make the transition… that is, if I can get Logic 9 to work again. Two questions: 1 — Does anyone have a suggestion of how I can fix the degraded output problem? 2 — Does anyone have experience migrating a Logic project from 9 to X, and if so, what was the transition like? painless? Troublesome? A nightmare? As always, thanks in advance for your input.

I’m considering getting a SWAM Violin and controlling it with a Leap Motion controller. I’ve heard that it will work much better if the controller is sending high-definition MIDI. The Leap Motion is capable of sending that, but my question is: is my current hardware/software setup capable of receiving and processing high-definition MIDI in real time? I’m running Logic Pro 9 on a 2012 quad-core Mac Mini with 16 GB of RAM. OS 10.12.6 (Sierra). If I pursue this, I would use the Geco software to convert the Leap Motion capture to MIDI. I don’t know much about high-definition MIDI, but imagine it must take a lot more CPU power to process. Does anybody have any experience using it with older hardware-software setups? I’m curious to know how it performs.

Excellent -- thank you!

Is it possible to use Logic’s Transform function to scale CC values such as CC 1 (dynamics) and CC 11 (expression)? I’d like to adjust the CC automation curves of the entire string section in my virtual orchestra, to have them all play louder or softer, but adjusting each section individually is a bit time-consuming. I know that the Transform function allows us to batch-process the velocity values of several regions at once. Can it do this for CC 1 and CC 11 as well?
