  1. Thank you for the tips. I tried Komplete Kontrol, but it didn't pick up the Cubase plug-ins, so I guess that doesn't work. I'll look at the BlackHole workaround.👍
  2. Before you all shout, yes I know Logic uses Audio Units... 🙂 However, if I have Cubase installed on my Mac (I do), is there any way of running its VST effects (such as Quadrafuzz) in Logic Pro? For example using some sort of AU 'container' plug-in? There are a number of Cubase effects that I would like to use, but which are not available to buy separately as AU versions. Many thanks.
  3. Hi David I understand how to draw the fade - the issue is making sure the level either side of the fade (red arrows in attached screen grab) is always the same volume as the volume fader, if the volume fader is moved during playback (i.e. when mixing). Using your example... 1. I manually draw the volume automation with the fade. Before and after the fade it's -6.6dB. 2. I then play the song back and reduce the overall level of the track using the fader (while mixing) to -8dB. 3. When the song gets to the end of that fade, currently the volume of the track jumps back to -6.6dB. 4. I want it to return to -8dB, where the volume fader has been moved to. Does that make sense? I think I might be missing something fundamental with how automation works.
  4. I've got a synth part that I want to fade to nothing in the middle of a song, but then return the track to the volume of the volume fader for more parts. The fade to nothing part is easy, what I can't get my head round is how to set up the volume automation of that track so it starts at the level set on the fader and then, when it comes back up after the fade part, it returns to the volume level of the fader... not to a set dB level... when I'm mixing the song. Sorry if this is really basic stuff!
  5. Exactly that. Some more reading matter on such things here for anyone who is interested... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention
  6. I'm not convinced this is true. Here in Blighty, when I was starting out on the long road to becoming a self-taught songwriter (many moons ago), the advice was simple: Record the song, make sure you put the © symbol, your name and the year on the recording (back then it would have been a cassette), then post it to yourself by registered post and keep it unopened in case of a copyright dispute. Of course the world has moved on several million years since then, with this new-fangled thing called the internet (the Roland D50 is also no longer next only to missions to Mars in technical advancement and Korean-made guitars are no longer the cheapest versions). But I'm pretty sure that, in the UK and Europe at least, no society has the right to dictate whether you can or cannot use the © symbol. That would surely be an undesirable commercialisation of the very protection that the copyright symbol is there for?
  7. I think fisherking's method is definitely the way forward. I'll try that first! Thank you for the responses
  8. Is there any way of doing a select all in the plugin manager and then copying and pasting the text into a spreadsheet like Excel / Numbers, etc? Of course you can select all, but copy is greyed out and I've not yet worked out a way of doing this, other than the extremely time-consuming method of taking screen grab, scroll down a page, screen grab, scroll down a page, etc (I have a lot of plugins) I just want a simple list of all the plug-ins on my music Mac to check compatibility with Apple Silicon (and Monterey) before deciding whether to upgrade.
  9. Or create our own colours for tracks and regions (including black/white), something I used a lot in LP9 and missing ever since LPX came along. For a company that markets itself on technical innovation so much, the fact that Apple's default position with Logic seems to be endlessly playing 'me too, me too' catchup with Steinberg (usually a year or more in arrears) is something I find quite depressing. Nowadays the only reason I stay with Logic is that I'm too old and set in my ways to want the hassle of learning the quirks of a new DAW. But to anyone coming new to this game, I'd say choose Cubase. The only advantage I can see of Logic is the price and free updates, when they eventually come along.
  10. By my own admission, I'm the world's worst guitarist. So I want to cheat on a guitar part - record it at a slow tempo and increase the playback tempo to the desired final speed. My instinct would be to record it against a click track at the slow tempo in an empty project, increase the tempo (enable Flex Time?) and then bounce the recording (at the desired tempo) to a new audio file. Then import that bounced file of the guitar recording (at the desired tempo) into the Logic song project which has the rest of the parts in place. However, going on the old maxim assumption is the mother of all *%&$ ups and having had no joy with various search terms online, if anyone can give me an idiot's guide on how to achieve this, I'd be very grateful Many (hopeful) thanks!
  11. HALion now works properly with Logic again. Hooray!
  12. I've not had time to install it yet (world's slowest broadband here), but I really hope it solves the issue of the Steinberg HALion AU plug-in no longer working in LPX. I've asked Steinberg about this many times and have been assured it's an Apple problem
  13. By the way, does Flatten and Merge create a new audio file of all the comped audio takes, or is the single audio region that it shows in the Tracks window just a visual reference, in reality still made up of all the existing bits of takes I'm keeping?
