  1. It seems like recently when I use the Force Legato key command, it’s not extending the note entirely to the next note. There’s a small gap. I’ve been using that command for years (decades?) and don’t remember it acting that way. Does it do that for you? Or go completely to the next note?
  2. I can’t disagree more. The fixed Spatial Audio just sounds like stereo with some imaging effects. It sounds nothing like my actual 7.1 Atmos speaker mix. With head tracking turned on, I can place a violinist in the corner of the room, and the actual sound of the violinist becomes fixed in that location regardless of where my head is pointed, just like with my real speakers. Your comment shares a common misconception that I think is due to a lack of detail in Apple’s marketing. But the bottom line is that I’ve been mixing with Atmos for couple years now, and head tracking makes it seem like the objects are in the room with you much like an actual surround speaker system. Spatial Audio without head tracking makes the objects sound like they are in your head just like regular headphones, because the psychoacoustics do not react to your position in the room. And most importantly, my clients understand that and are paying me specifically to deliver an Atmos mix with head tracking. I’m not quite sure why Apple is making that last part so difficult. Just let me bounce an MP4 and send it in an email direct from Logic. Maybe Dolby is holding that back, not sure
  3. This seems to be a common misconception about Spatial Audio with head tracking. The head tracking is only for headphones in order to simulate a surround speaker system. The mix sounds great on an Atmos speaker system and I want the director (and the audience) to be able to hear the Atmos mix on their Airpods with head tracking. The point is to cover all of these bases. I have solved this one. I can render an MP4 with the Dolby Atmos Renderer and email that. Works well.
  4. Hi, I’m doing the score for a film and mixing in Atmos. My studio is equipped with a 7.1 speaker system and I’m double checking my mixes in Logic on AirPods Pro. I need to be able to send a mix to the director that he can hear in Atmos with head tracking on his Airpods Pro. Anything short of actually distributing the song on an Atmos friendly platform?
  5. I have come up with a method I really like. It’s just frustrating that it only works half the time, seemingly randomly. It comes down to deleting duplicates. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I have a feeling that I’m missing a detail as far as what is considered a duplicate.
  6. As I said, I have been using the select highest/lowest, invert and delete to isolate parts. But I prefer to isolate the notes by hand. The hard part has been deleting those isolated notes from the original piano part so I can move on to the next part. This has been working so far: Copy the melody, paste it into the piano part, raise the velocity of the pasted parts to full red, then delete duplicates, then delete the selected notes, which are still selected from the paste. Then I am left with the piano part minus the melody. Hope that makes sense haha.
  7. I’ve figured out a way that works sometimes but not others. I copy the piano region to the solo violin track. Manually erase all of the notes that are not the main melody. Now I need to erase the main melody from the piano track. I can copy and paste the main melody into the piano track and delete duplicates. If I’m lucky, the underlying duplicate notes will disappear while the pasted melody is still selected so I can then erase the selected notes which leaves me with the piano notes minus the melody. Then I can do the process again for bass, cello, viola etc. Unfortunately half the time it deletes the selected notes rather than the unselected notes which leaves me where I started, haha. I’m hoping there’s a more streamlined way to subtract the melody from the piano track.
  8. Hi, I’m doing a ton of splitting a single piano performance into several mono tracks and I’m hoping to get a few tips and tricks. I’m currently selecting lowest and highest notes, inverting the selection and deleting. I have fast key commands for all of that, but it can be a little imprecise. For example, there may be a part with no bass notes, and some higher notes end up on the bass track because they happened to be the lowest notes. What I’d prefer to do is manually choose the main melody first. Get that to a nice violin track. Then somehow delete the notes from the original piano track and move on to making the bass track. Then remove the bass notes from the piano track etc until all of the notes are on the various strings tracks as mono lines. Is there an easy way to take the lead melody I’ve isolated and subtract it from the piano region? I thought maybe I could add the isolated melody back to the original and delete duplicates, but that seems to only delete one of the duplicates and leaves the original. Any other tips to make this process easier would be appreciated.
  9. This just happened to me. Same scenario. I was editing overlapping midi regions and the popup asking to split or shorten notes came up. I canceled and most of my notes disappeared. Any ideas how to get them back? Any other solutions you’ve come up with?
  10. When I try to open the project it says: Warning! Project may be damaged Then closes in a few seconds. While it’s open, the regions are in the file section. Very frustrating.
  11. Unfortunately it says: The format of this project is not compatible with this Logic Pro version. Please open and save the project to convert to a compatible format.
  12. I was working on a project from about a year ago. I put about 8 hours in today. Went to save and it said it it couldn’t save the document. I tried to “save as” no dice. Tried to save an alternative, nothing. Then it crashed. It will let me open it and offers the auto-saved version which DOES open, but no tracks show up and it crashes within a minute or so. This auto-save does have the regions in the file menu. Any ideas to save my work today? MBP M1 Max, latest everything. The project is on the internal SSD. I haven’t had issues like this with any other projects.
  13. I’ve done some extensive mod wheel automation for a string patch and I’d like to use that automation for the volume on some audio tracks. for some reason all the methods of copying region automation to track automation aren’t working. Any ideas?
  14. I have two rooms, both running the same setup with the latest Logic on M1 Max mbps. They each have different gear with different Logic templates. Basically a live jam room and a separate mix room. When I open a project made in the live room I get a bunch of ??? instead of the custom icons. I've gone into the custom icon folders of each computer and made sure they both contain the same files here: User>Music>Audio Music Apps>Custom Icons I've made sure they are all the same. Any other place I should be looking to get the icons synced up?
