Logic Pro Help

Another thing worth re-mentioning here is: "freeze and bounce." These are procedures which pre-calculate portions of your project to create audio-only tracks to stand-in for them. Logic's designers have poured a lot of effort into both facilities to make them very easy to use. (You might n...

I know too many folks who have encountered heat problems with the "Air" models. If all you're ever doing is surfing the net, you're never going to tax any of the silicon enough to cause it to heat-up, but if you're rendering things (be it music or video or CG or any of the above), you defi...

Apple Loops are also readily available stand-ins which you can drop into a song while you're working it out ... especially if your MIDI/performance skills are nothing like the loop's. ( MIDI loops are also nice because – just like library patches – you can tear into them and see just how they were m...

Also ... as I now pursue this, "gifted as I am with my blah-blah operating system knowledge," I'm rather wondering if I am very soon going to be faced with an "operating-system permissions issue" that I really should not have to encounter. "Yes, I happen to know enough about...

Rihanna's "Umbrella" drums are an Apple Loop https://medium.com/micro-chop/rihannas-grammy-award-winning-umbrella-is-a-garageband-loop-3e1430446363 "But, to be utterly fair, they added a tremendous amount of additional video and audio effort into it." The final commercial presen...

"Cool! Sounds great!" Glad she didn't have to pay for them!"

"Well, now, how very interesting!" Once other Internet threads taught me to hover over(!) this menu item in search of further explanation, I was told that "this option is not available because the current user is not an Administrator!" First (!) of all, of course, I have never t...

Well, I'd do that as long as I can now specify where to put it. That "OSError" error-message looked like it didn't come from Logic because it wasn't graceful (and I didn't catch the code, which, had I done so, I could have interpreted). Guessing "some kind of permissions issue." ...

"Hey ... 'third party stuffs' have their proper place, too!" :D Today – let's face it – "we musicians are faced with an embarrassment of riches." We have very-excellent stuff, including very-excellent stuff that is open source, which our musical predecessors ... (koff, koff, &quo...

Guess China. But could easily be any one of a number of countries in that part of the world, all of which I am quite anxious to visit. Welcome!

Edited original post.

Echoing some of Trigue's thoughts: (maybe?) To me, the hardest thing to do is to get a decent-sounding drum performance, since I am not a drummer and (usually ...) I don't want my track to sound like a "drum machine." Fortunately, there are a lot of both audio and MIDI loops that were prep...

If the CPU has to decide between redrawing a screen graphic or producing sound, it's going to penalize the screen-draw. I still recommend that you explore freeze/bounce. You probably focus your attention on one area of the project at a time. Well, when you think you've finished that part (at least f...

"Ping?" David?

Here's a question for David ... I know that in digital- image and video work a rule of thumb is: "always sample down." So, would it make an audible difference if the new material were sampled down to 44.1K, completing the project consistently at 44.1K, instead of sampling the old material ...

And, try this: Use a multi-step workflow. Bounce or freeze the project into an audio file that will be played through the singer's phones. Turn everything else off. This generates an audio file, and the computer doesn't have to do that "in real time." The immediate project now consists of ...

A few things: Logic appears to dedicate at least one thread to "audio output," using other threads to calculate information that can be done in parallel. It knows how the computational workload has to flow, and it knows how to apportion all of the available threads properly. How you set up...

(LogicPro latest, OS/X latest, etc ...) So, I tried to move my sound library to an external drive. Well, here's what happened: • I plugged in the new drive, started Logic, and asked to move the sound library. I selected the external drive. • The process unexpectedly failed with an "OSError -XX...

Only "copyright.gov" knows the answer. Still just a cost of doing business as far as I'm concerned ... and, probably your smallest expense of all, for being by far the most important. "Mind your P's and Q's!"

The more you listen for the samples that come with Logic, ProTools, and so-on, the more you hear them. Not as quite as obvious as the drum-machines of the 80's but damned near as prevalent. Many songs are fashioned entirely in systems like Logic using software instruments ... and they sound very good!
