Logic Pro Help

Hi everyone, If you're familiar with the Loudness War (which is of course not really about loudness - but about sound quality), you might find this petition of interest: https://www.change.org/p/music-streaming-services-bring-peace-to-the-loudness-war The idea is that, if all streaming services adop...

The folks at iZotope have some technologies in RX5 that are kinda sorta tangentially relates to this, with their Reverb Removal stuff, but as far as I know there's no easy existing way to capture an IR from an existing recording. (You'd have to know what was the direct sound and what was the reverb.)

Also, if you leave the Gain at 0.0dB, and only use Input Scale to manage the pre-limiting input level, you can get at least some idea of the max amount of GR by observing the level on the Input side. If it's Over, the positive value dBFS will be the biggest amount of limiting (though that's not acco...

I think there's been some discussion at cross purposes, or confusion over specific terms, here. If you add together the values to which the Gain and Input Scale are set, you should arrive at the total gain (+ or -) which is applied to the signal before it's processed by the actual limiting itself. T...

Note that if you Freeze tracks, that uses **more** disk bandwidth, not less. Try un-freezing as many tracks as you can. Freezing frees up CPU power, and instead offloads it to the hard disk, by pre-rendering. So if your error message says the CPU can't do any more, then freezing will help, but if th...

In that case, it probably depends on the size of your projects. If you have many samples loaded *and* record 100 audio tracks, one USB hard disk will probably not be fast enough. But if the projects are smaller, it might be OK.

The only way to know for sure is to try it

I would suggest putting samples on the internal SSD, if they fit, and audio files on the external. This is because sample reading is seek time intensive (easy for an SSD), and reading audio files is bandwidth intensive (easy for HD). (As for the system drive, once Logic is launched, the disk access ...

I agree with the comments so far.

That sounds like a spring reverb on the drums to my ear - i.e. lots of individual "chunks" in it. I would expect probably a plate reverb (with a very diffuse "wash") instead.

Nice going so far!

While David is correct and I would hate to disagree, I feel strongly that I should add a point to the quantization discussion that hasn't yet been discussed. At 24-bit, the quality loss is theoretically there, but insignificant for any practical purpose. The noise would be 144dB down from full scale...

Personally I would recommend against the small "PA package" systems, and instead suggest a Class D powered speaker or two combined with your passive mixer. I use and really like the QSC K series. I've gotten away with a single K8 for small acoustic sets, and otherwise use two K10s and eith...

One of the most dramatic advantages of an SSD over a spinning hard drive is the SSD's ability to access many pieces of information from different places on disk very quickly. To read from two different files stored in different places on the magnetic platters, a spinning hard disk drive (HDD) has to...

uncheck the Audio Tail :) Bet you $100,000,000.00 of Monopoly money that's the issue right there. When "Include Audio Tail" is checked, Logic assumes there's a reverb or something whose decay you want to include in the bounce, past the end of the actual notes and audio shown in your proje...

In case it's useful (for the original poster, or others reading this thread later), here's a technical explanation. As I understand it, a typical pro DAW's mix engine (in simplified form, and leaving out plugins) does this: For each sample: 1) Set up a temporary "sample storage" place (let...

I'm not familiar with the TD-9, but I have a TD-6 and a dual-trigger snare that can recognize rim shots, so I can tell you the general idea and you can look up how to do it specifically on the TD-9. Please excuse me if I say things that you already know - I don't know whether you're a beginner or an...

I think you probably know this and were referring to it, but I'll spell it out in case others see this thread: bouncing per se has no artifacts; that's what Logic does anyway when it plays back. Common sense tells us that if you Flex-Pitch a syllable, if you bounce the track and then re-Flex the sam...

Out of curiosity, for those experiencing the issue, exactly how are you scrolling? Two-finger drag on a trackpad or Magic Mouse, Shift-scroll wheel, Click-and-drag on the scroll bars, keyboard shortcuts, ...?

It sounds like the completely dry track just had one click, toward the end of the "v" sound of the word "love," probably a single-sample error caused by weirdness during the recording (clock errors and such). If there aren't too many clicks, you could redraw the samples with the ...

Can you say a bit more about the context? That is, what is it that you're looking to do that this sort of routing would make possible, that's not doable by bouncing the tracks in place and importing them into the other project?

What's the goal - what will having more buses help you accomplish? Maybe we can help you find another way to do it with 64 or less.

I notice your Process Buffer Range is set to Large. Was that the default on LPX? I'm still on 9, but I've encountered some strange behavior when changing it off the default of Medium. Maybe try switching it to Medium and seeing if that makes any difference. This looks like a long-standing problem th...
