  1. Worth a shot: Did you have latency inducing plugins in the original project on the stereo out? If you did: After making a copy of that project to the internal drive, try saving the channel strip setting on the stereo out (so you can recall it later) then on the stereo out: reset channel strip. Did this fix it?
  2. I am not at my desk and can't remember the brand name of my usb C hub. Bit it is a $20 hub from Best Buy. I have my Focusrite 2i2 and my midi keyboard and an external ssd hooked up to it and charger. I am actually in love with the hub. Everything is plugged into it and when I walk up to my desk with my MacBook Air I place it down and I have to plug in only ONE thing and everything is connected. I can't imagine plugging in 4 things each and every time. It would even look more cluttered, having cables sticking out of the laptop all over every side.
  3. M1 Air here with 512GB/16 GB Ram. It is the least powerful Apple Silicon Mac in the lineup but still more powerful than an Intel Mac Pro in many ways. (And people got pro level recordings done with the Mac Pro) I went for 'fanless' because i record at my desk with a mic a lot. There is no chance the fan would turn on 🙂
  4. I do miss the magsafe charging 🙂
  5. The wedge shaped iconic wrist saving design compensates for that a bit. 🙂
  6. The first time in Logic's history, the M1 Air is holding up after many years of Logic updates. Still a beast for Logic. In the past, Logic would update and a few years old Mac could not keep up. Like: - When Alchemy was added. I played a chord with certain patches and the CPU maxed out. - Logic introduced Chroma Verb. At the time my Intel MBP was i think 4 years old and could not play that reverb visualization within the plugin. The M series chips are godsend for Logic users. I still edit 4K video in Davinci Resolve while composing music in Logic on my M1 Air. For hours. On battery. On the go. Is this a dream or what? 🙂
  7. I think what you're trying to say is you're able to produce that delay sound by playing with the delay live. That means you haven't recorded the pedal movement as a performance? You need to record automation of those movements of the pedal maybe. Once you do that then you can bounce in place or bounce the entire project or you can do whatever you want as Jordi said. Do you actually hear that delay futuristic sound when you play back the project and do not touch anything? If you don't hear it then it won't be in the bounce.
  8. Maybe your DELETE key on your keyboard is sticky? You select a note with the pointer and that's why it gets deleted? Try to open the notes app and write something. Is the text getting deleted randomly?
  9. If you have another plugin before the adaptive limiter and the sound comes OUT of that plugin too hot(distorted) then all that scale knob did, is turning down/up the distorted/too hot signal. Not useful. One has to make sure to get a healthy signal going in and out of each and every plugin in a chain of effects on any channel strip.
  10. Short answer: no (i think) Start over. Save project as folder and include all assets in folder when saving. Make a copy of your project/folder. (To not accidentally mess with your project) Open the new duplicated project. Disable all plugins on stereo out. Do a better mixing job of your project. Get busy with your high pass filters on individual channels. Take care of all loud audio/spikes in your mix. If you have a decent mix, the mastering process should not alter it too much. Just make it louder, compress it a bit, even out the mix and tonal adjustments. Maybe all you need is to play with compressor on the stereo out. It helps if you bounce the mix to a stereo file (without any mastering) and import it into a new empty Logic project. This way you can see the waveform. If it has too many large spikes in the waveform, that is why the compressor/limiter is struggling in your master chain.
  11. I think there is a setting to enable somewhere and it lets you move anything in only one direction at a time, so if you start moving a note upwards, you won't be able to move it left or right accidentally.
  12. It means that your mix is not ready for mastering. Look at your multimeter and do your best to take care of the low end of your mix and treat the peaks in your mix too as a stated earlier. You have to get it to a ballpark of a good mix. Then export or bounce the mix, open a new project and import the mix. Only open the mastering assistant. (I think this is the intended way and the most efficient way to use the mastering assistant )Do a few tweaks and it should give you good results. That's what it was made for. If you're constantly going back re-tweaking everything and re-analyzing everything I'm sure there will be Bugs turning up their heads sooner or later.
  13. Select Input 2 on the channel strip. Also in Logic's preferences: The Scarlett is selected as input and output device?
  14. It is a wonderful tool, but i often get the best results if i have a decent mix. 1take care of the low end, get busy with the high pass filter on the tracks take care of your drum peaks. Apply compression, limiting, clipping on bass drum and snare. Then again on the drum bus. Saturation too. Then let the mastering assistant do the rest, play with the final eq a bit in the mastering assistant. Always A/B with a good commercial mix. Just use quicktime or Apple music to make things simple. -14 LUFS is good enough. (That is where the assistant sets the mix. ) If you want much louder, your results may vary. When analyzing the assistant says 'building a mastering chain' Pretty sure there is compression and multiband compression going on in there. You get pumpung if you have too much peaking in your mix.
  15. I always go for the simplest solution: if your singing is not far off, then set the pitch correction in flex pitch to 100%. This will snap the notes to the nearest value. You can then grab a few notes push them up or down in the scale use your ears. Should be simple. If too robotic, play with the parameters and percentage of correction. Even if you go the other way with automation: just don't bother with that. Duplicate track and use pitch correction on that track too separately. If you have an older Mac and you have CPU concerns: just bounce in place after you are happy. Put all the bounced regions on one track and delete everything else. Always go for simple. 🙂
