Hi! Sorry for being a bit iffy on the sub-forum placement - I just wanted to pick an active part of the forum and IT IS inherently about music production techniques. Seminar season's coming up! I'm busy preparing and I'm going to try out a new style of teaching. For this, I'm going to load up the stems of a song that isn't a paid gig and walk the audience through it, figuring out my approach to mixing and talk them through it. So, what I'm looking for is your stems! You'll receive full credit (with a link) and I'll toss in some mixing help/additional production too if you're in need of it (for this song or future projects). We'll work something out! I've got a few session musicians available as well. Any genre, any style, any approach. Doesn't matter if it's all tracked or all electronic. I've got contracts ready if you're worried about all that jazz. Totally understandable, this is for eductional purposes only and will stay that way. PM's preferred.

It has always worked for me on 9/32-bit. The motorization works without a hitch and everything snaps just like it should.

hey fastfourier, thanks for letting me know. I'm still on logic 9, always work in 32bit mode, not planning to move to X anytime soon and i don't open logic ever in 64 bit. i've heard it works great in logic pro 9 32bit, does it? It does!

Very few people search the site before posting their questions. And in this case, this is a new member, probably not familiar with how the forum works and that you can search for previously answered questions. Even if you do search, sometimes you will not use matching keywords and you will not find the answer to your question. Tip: If you want to search the site, the most effective way to search is to use Google and search: site:logicprohelp.com (topic) Yeah, but this question, worded this way hasn't been very common until just recently. It's literally "I am looking to make soft parts louder and loud parts softer".

You can make this sound with any v/a type softsynth. Detune, pitch accordingly and hardpan.

Yes, compression. ..But I've got to ask. What spurred this influx of questions identical to this one? We've had several of them in the last few days!

Damn David, you're quick! Came here to say exactly that. They definitely exist. Both are great and work splendidly well.

Sure, sounds like generic pads. Shouldn't be a problem with any synth. Figure out envelopes and use a synth with a decent modulation matrix. Actually, the ES2 is perfect for this, because you can easily whip together something simple and then go down the proverbial rabbit hole by abusing the randomization function!

Dynamic range compression, also called DRC (often seen in DVD and car CD player settings) or simply compression reduces the volume of loud sounds or amplifies quiet sounds by narrowing or "compressing" an audio signal's dynamic range. Compression is commonly used in sound recording and reproduction and broadcasting[1] and on instrument amplifiers. The dedicated electronic hardware unit or audio software used to apply compression is called a compressor. Compressors often have attack and release controls that vary the rate at which compression is applied and smooth the effect.

How so? They've shut down their users' forum. The upgrade doesn't include any new kits, though now you can buy their content a la carte--at about 75% more cost than for AD1. So, unless you have content from AD1, you are basically just buying a shell that needs further content purchases to do anything. At least, that is what I am seeing. If you want new kits, just add 20 bucks and you get the Fairfax kit. I use AD because of the kits, so I am not in need of new kits. The engine update makes AD a heck of a lot more self-contained (effects, triggering etc) and the improvements in workflow fit me like a glove.

Yes, it's definitely worth it - big improvements! The demo shows off the new features well, but the upgrade price is so god damn low that I'd suggest you to just get it right now. XLN Audio keep being one of the friendliest companies!

Oh, transcription purposes? Go ahead, then! Use Logics Compressor, set the circuit type to VCA, 6:1 ratio, then bring down the threshold until you can hear everything.

Do something, check in mono, decide if it's worth it and keep rolling. It's that simple. No panning on elements with a fundamental frequency below 300hz used to be a thing, but people don't give a s#!+ anymore and most mastering engineers add a phasey quality by utilizing multi-band spreaders creatively anyways.

Sure, you can compress it - but it'll still sound like a live show you recorded on an iPhone. Even if you use multi-band compression, you won't get to a place where you can isolate the crowd/ambience from the performance. Proper compression will make the performer louder, but all in all it'll be "denser" and some people might find it completely unlistenable.

I'm sorry, but ExNotator and David - you're both wrong. It's easy to base statements on your own habits and just make assumptions, isn't it? I mean, I was on board with streaming right away and I've never bought a full album on iTunes. Regardless of our own usage of it and how much cheaper Amazon tends to be, iTunes is responsible for an impressive 30%+ of all music sales, worldwide. Yes, sales numbers are lower than streaming numbers, but the payouts are .60 vs 0.006. They've already acquired five different businesses based on streaming (as well as 3 monetization systems and a dozen sharing platforms) - yet they havn't launched their own service yet. When they do, it'll be a smash and annihilate Spotify/Rdio over night. They'll launch a frankenstein'd beast when it's time. They just need to be ready with the perfect combination of technology and infrastructure.
