How to disable orange microphone icon in Sonoma? [SOLVED]
BCProject replied to dubfish's topic in Tips and Tricks
I'm getting intermittant audio dropouts and glitching after updating to Sonoma. The annoying giant mic icon in the menubar blinks off-and-on in-sync with the dropouts. It feels like some other app is trying to use the internal mic or these some kind of loopback happening? I've tried everything suggested with no luck. Again - this just started with Sonoma. -
Sure, Logic for iPad is far more capable than GB but it is still pretty crippled compared to Logic for Mac simply because it lacks AU support. Yes, it supports AUv3 but just managing different plugin formats across 2 platforms is a deal-killer for me (and many/most others - I'd guess). Who has projects with ZERO 3rd-party content? Oh well. Gotta start somewhere, sometime. Here's hoping cross-platform equivalency improves over time.

I have one of these MIDI expression pedal adapters. Works great, not expensive. FWIW. Amazon.com: DOREMIDI Expression Pedal Converter Pedal Sustain Pedal Expander MPC-10 : Musical Instruments

100% fed-up with iLok. I’ve lived in 2 worlds (Pro Tools and Logic) for nearly 20 years and I’ve had so many problems related to iLok licensing that I’m done. Moving 100% to Logic and non iLok plugins - as it has a more palatable set of compromises.

So, is the consensus Logic Pro for iPad is essentially GarageBand Pro for iPad? It sure seems like the dream of round-trip exchange between macOS and ipadOS isn’t going to happen.

Maybe we'll soon be able to run Logic Pro on the iPad?
BCProject replied to David Nahmani's topic in Logic Pro
I've tried using GarageBand on the iPad. It's nifty but the fixed tempo kills many song ideas for me. I wish there was a way to move projects back-n-forth more easily and completely (not the current 1 stereo LPX track into a GB shell). -
I've already done that, but I appreciate the tip!
-
And the latency doesn’t drive you insane? 512? Wow.
-
No doubt - but are you tracking guitars into that mix using a modern amp sim with your buffer set at 64 or 32?
-
Yeah that's a major hassle. I'd rather drop $2K and work freely than mess around with bouncing, importing, blah blah blah, just so I can add a new guitar bit to a song I'm working on.

Amp or Plug-In?
BCProject replied to Little Fat Bloke's topic in Music Production Techniques and Gear
What David said. I think what throws off many guitarists getting into amp sims is the lack of the visceral thump-in-your-chest, pant-flapping feel of a loud amp-in-a-room. Modern amp sims can sound fantastic in a mix but, outside of a purpose-built live-rig setup, they don't replicate the feel of playing a cranked amp. -
I have the M1 MacBook Air. I'm primarily a guitarist and use amp/fx realtime sims and I find the CPU power barely adequate when I'm tracking guitars in a modestly full mix with smaller buffers. I get dropouts often enough that I'm seriously considering getting something with the M1 Pro. My primary amp sims are Amplitube, Helix Native and NeuralDSP sims. Anyone having a similar M1 experience?

M1 MacBook Air performance Issues with Logic Pro X
BCProject replied to Snabelkaparn's topic in Logic Pro
I have the same machine - I run at a 128 sample buffer (12.2ms roundtrip - which is totally fine for tracking guitar through amp sims) and it doesn't break a sweat with my largest projects. I have no need for an M1 Pro/Max (yet). -
I’m considering a new Mac Mini as well but I’m concerned about performance driving an Ultrawide screen (3840x1600) monitor.
-
Does anyone have direct experience using a 2020-era Mac mini i7 driving an high-res ultra-wide monitor? I've seem suggestions that the intel GPU creates a performance bottleneck in these configurations. I'm using Logic Pro 10.5.N - Thanks in advance!
