2Hype702 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I’ve been experiencing some unusual glitches with Logic. There seems to be some crackling / scratching sounds at the automation bypass and engage nodes. It’s weird since I've never experienced this in Logic before. It's random and only happens once in a while. I've tried increasing the buffer size and that seems to help a little. The file is a vocal track where I engage the echo upon the last word spoken. I've tried moving the nodes to different positions and I get mixed results. I also tried using different echo and delay plugs. Still happens. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Atlas007 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Some plugins will produce sound artifacts (weird noises) when some of their parameters is modified in real time. To avoid that, move the echo Fx to an auxiliary channelstrip and automate the Vocal channelstrip's Send to that auxiliary (echo Fx) channelstrip.

simon.a.billington Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Pretty much what Atlas said. Not all plugins are "automation friendly', especially those from smaller devs. Not that I think their products are bad in anyway, they just generally don't have the personnel the budget or the extensive years of experience to iron out issues like this.

Atlas007 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I think that some plugins in Logic are doing the same thing... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, tweaking some parameters from some plug-ins will result in artifacts. @2Hype702 can you tell us which plug-in, and which parameter you're automating? Or share a project file with us? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Hype702 Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 Hey guys, thanks for all the responses. The plugs in question are Valhalla delay and Delay Designer (Logic). I moved over to Timeless2 and that seems to be working much better. As I mentioned before I never encountered this issue before. Is this from a recent update?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Hype702 Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 Bypass and engage of the plug-in itself. On - off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution David Nahmani Posted August 3, 2022 Solution Share Posted August 3, 2022 1 minute ago, 2Hype702 said: Bypass and engage of the plug-in itself. On - off. Ok so that's a classic way to create artifacts. Instead, try to have two tracks one with the plug-in on and the other with the plug-in off and automate their mute or volume. Or use a send and automate the send level knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
