Bradm227 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Hi Guys, the other night I recorded a whole song with my macbook, Scarlett interface & Neumann mic absolutely fine with no issues, the following day I went to tweak some vocals and suddenly they sounded harsh/robotic & different. I do remember accidentally pressing a button which brought up some sort of note page at the bottom which I’ve never seen before but not sure if this did anything..I’ve tried different cables and new tracks etc and spent a long time looking into it and can’t seem to find a solution, does anyone know why this could be or what I could try? Thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradm227 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 thanks for the response, I’ve tried this but still no luck unfortunately I even tried completely shutting Logic Pro and restarting but still sounds the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Any plugins on the track? If Flex enabled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradm227 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Plug-in’s are enabled but they have always been and never had an issue before, also is the same once I disable plugin’s. How do I check the flex?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Command-F will Show or Hide Flex View. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradm227 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Once I view it how will I know if it’s enabled or if it could be affecting the recording? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Here are two tracks with Flex View, and one is enabled. Or you can check here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 a phasing issue perhaps? is the signal sending back to itself somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradm227 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 I just checked and flex is off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Plug-in’s are enabled but they have always been and never had an issue before, also is the same once I disable plugin’s. How do I check the flex?? Start by testing your mic in a new, empty project, one single audio track, not a single plug-in anywhere in the Mixer.

David Nahmani Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Thanks David, ive tried this :/ this is why I think I nay have accidentally changed a setting in Logic Pro itself Try raising your I/O Buffer size in Logic's audio preferences.

Bradm227 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 It’s currently 128 what should I put it too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradm227 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Is there anything else anyone can think of? I really don’t know what to try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 It’s currently 128 what should I put it too? Try 256. If that doesn't help, then try 512. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradm227 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Thanks again David, I’ll try now but my only concern is would it then cause latency ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Thanks again David, I’ll try now but my only concern is would it then cause latency ? We're not looking for a solution yet. Just troubleshooting. Test it with higher buffer sizes and see what happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradm227 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Thanks for helping me out I really appreciate it but unfortunately still the same, I do remember accidentally pressing a button which brought something up at the bottom of my Logic page so it could be this I just don’t know what it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradm227 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Best way to explain the current recording is harsh and almost seems like worse quality too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Ok try to create a new account on your Mac (Apple Menu > System Preferences > Users & Groups.

triplets Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 How would I detect if it’s clipping?? Scarlett's have light indicators on their gain knobs, green ok, red clipping. What's the level inside Logic? Is it hitting red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradm227 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Oh no it’s green and the level is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
