Check the transient placement in the Audio File editor, in transient editing mode? See this:

Set your Overlapping Audio recordings to Create Take Folder, it should give you the behavior you want (it will do "nothing" as long as the only overlap you're getting is the count-in):

You could turn off the overhead for kick, snare and toms, set the Overheads channel strip to a Stereo Pan and swap L and R, but you'd still be swapping the image of all cymbals, rides and crashes. I would make a copy of the drum track and MIDI region. On the original track, delete the ride notes. On the copy, delete everything but the ride. Now you have an individual ride track that you can pan however you like.

Thanks for the feedback, @Syntagma, @Atlas007, @Music Spirit, @rAC and @jmob - I added the following categories: Scoring sheet music Overdubbing Creating educational material Arranging and editing Sound design

If you solo the track, do you hear the correct sound? Is your mic mode set to standard?

I'm not sure what you mean by that?

Yes, it's the expected behavior. My understanding was always that with external MIDI connections, you typically want to avoid sending too many MIDI messages simultaneously, so that small gap allows Logic to send the Note Off event a couple of ticks before the next Note On event. Obviously this is no longer an issue by today's standards so that behavior probably deserves an update.

It works as expected here too. How do you select the automation before copying it? A before/after screenshot would definitely help understand what's going wrong in your situation.

I use slicing mode and deselect "Fill gaps". The sound does not change at all. It's the same as cutting audio regions and moving them so they're on time. Why is it tedious?

Go-to plug-ins are Channel EQ and Compressor, then a reverb plug-in on an Aux and send your tracks to that Aux. Then depending on what's needed, an Exciter if a track is too muffled, a transient designer (like Logic's enveloper) if an instrument needs more attack, distortion if a track needs more character, a modulation plug-in if a track needs some motion, etc...

You're welcome. 🙂

You could create a script for the Scripter MIDI FX to handle this, which would have its pros and cons vs the MIDI Environment solution. For example the transposing would occur in real time during playback, meaning the notes recorded in the MIDI region and visible in the Piano Roll would be in their original, untransposed octave. But really, there's nothing wrong with using the MIDI Environment for this, if it's working as desired. Hahaha... awesome story. Love it. 😄

So this is a bug related to anchor position and apple loops. Normally, you shouldn't have an anchor when an audio file follows tempo. However with Apple Loops, you still see an anchor even though the loops follows tempo. That anchor positioned is however calculated with the audio file not following tempo, which results in a misalignment when the audio file is stretched or compressed. Follow Tempo & Pitch = ON Follow Tempo & Pitch = OFF Because the new file is not an Apple Loop but a regular audio file.

That was the idea behind the choice named "Producing Soundtracks for TV, movies, commercials, etc."

That works too! Sure, but meanwhile, that's why I like the E key command. I press it and if instead of the mixer it shows me an editor I just press it once more. Easier (to me) than having to remember two different key commands and determine which one I should use depending on which of the editor/mixer pane is showing.
