  1. So is it not possible then? With all due respect, you're making assumptions about my show that aren't really applicable. I'm not making a newspaper. I'm essentially trying to make a documentary. One sustainable, enjoyable and professional enough to warrant repeat listens (as many of our listeners have told me) and be a significant document that will stick around for a long time. I wasn't looking for advice on how polished or unpolished to make my show, as I already have strong, fairly settled opinions on this subject. "Not many will hear it" is never a good reason not to try your best. Otherwise I would have quit making music 20 years ago. And a good amount of people do listen to my podcast, so I want it to sound great. If someone asked me for advice about audio, I wouldn't really go in the direction of "who cares, nobody's listening." That's not how you learn and improve. I'm aiming for it to be as good as it can be. Also, I use strip silence anyway, because the show is intensely edited. It's not loose or unstructured. So that helps create region chunks to easily discard. Long pauses. Countless "ums." Gross lip noises. Motorcycles driving by. Ramblings that go nowhere and will save us a good minute if cut out. So "don't strip silence" is not an option here. Otherwise every cut, hundreds of them, would be manual. I just want to know if there's a technical way to be more accurate with stripping silence, as it greatly improves the audio quality of my presentation. Thank you
  2. I have been wanting to ask this for years. I record and edit a podcast that me and my friend do. I swear, I spend so much extra time manually editing every single region because stripping silence is so inconsistent. I have tried every setting possible but it always ends up cutting words off, and/or leaving long trails of ambient silence once sentences or words are finished. Even when the silence is very consistent in a file, like a very isolated vocal recording with very very quiet ambience. I feel like I'm missing something about this feature. Is there some better way to do this? I really wish I didn't have to manually adjust every. single. region. Hundreds of them. Here's two screenshots as an example:
  3. Hello. Often when I do automation in logic, the sound I am hearing does not sync up with what I am doing in the automation. For example, I want a reverb to start on the drums in the chorus. I will do the "wet" automation and start it right at that first beat. However what I hear is the reverb starting a few seconds before that. Same for when I end it. It is so frustrating that I generally do not use automation and have to find other ways around it. Why is this happening?
  4. Thanks everyone. I am reluctant to bounce tracks because I am constantly making last minute changes to my mixes and experimenting inside the plugins. Oh well.
  5. There's certainly 3rd party plugins being used, but they are the same ones being used in plenty of other projects that don't crash. I just double checked every plugin and there's nothing I haven't used in at least a dozen other things this year.
  6. I have this one Logic project where every time I open it, it suddenly closes, along with Logic as a whole. No other projects cause this. Sometimes it closes after I press space bar to play the track, sometimes it just closes when I click on it anywhere. I tried importing all of the files etc into a new Logic project, as I read someone here give that advice, but the same thing happened. Is there any fix for this?
  7. Sorry for not replying, but I had a major iMac crash last week and only just now got my computer back. Putting a numerical value for the bar of the song seems difficult and inconvenient. I would like to know why I never had to do this for years and years of doing MIDI in Logic until now? Why before was I able to simply lasso my MIDI notes and perform these operations in one second?
  8. I still can't fix it and do not understand the solution. What does 1 1 1 1 refer to?
  9. I saved the project with the transform window open, as depicted in my screenshots, so I am unclear why it wasn't opened when you opened the project. I don't understand what defining the position range of notes means, and it's never something I did when this used to work easily before. Does lassoing them not define the position range? Isn't it implied that the first note is first, the rest follow, and ending with the final note that is highlighted?
  10. Sorry it took so long to get this done. Here you go, hope it works. I really appreciate any insight you could give me. It would make my life so much easier to have this fixed. Fallout Chronicles May 2020 folder.zip
  11. I lasso the notes. I click midi transform --> exponential velocity. I click to operate it. Nothing happens. I do the same thing when selecting "crescendo." And I want to point out again, this used to work for me up until a few years ago. These exact steps.
  12. I saw older posts about this but to be honest I found them a bit incomprehensible. This is a feature that used to work in my Logic just fine but sometime about two years ago or so it just stopped working. I am trying to gradually increase the intensity of MIDI notes. Exponential velocity. When I lasso the notes and click exponential velocity and to operate, nothing happens. Same lack of anything happening with crescendo.
  13. Bringing this thread back to say this has never worked for me and still does not work and it is extremely frustrating.
  14. Wow, I never knew that. Thanks so much for the info. I think I get it now!
  15. I'm sorry I'm totally confused. What is the reason that the volume dropped all the way down? What sets the monitoring level and how did it get set to all the way down?
