Making Mono Loop w/click - won't fully pan L/R

Recommended Posts

I need to bounce m4a files with click in the the left and loop in the right. I can't keep the click from bleeding into the right signal.

 

I played it from logic from different output sources (straight/firewire, etc). I've bounced it and played the m4a from different sources.

 

I've tried playing the click in mono and stereo forms, using the pan and balance control accordingly. I've tried to use the direction mixer on the channel.

 

Whatever I've tried hasn't worked. It seems like such a basic function that I know I have to be missing something.

 

I've viewed different threads dealing with hard panning and haven't actually seen a solution yet. I very well could have looked over something.

 

What am I missing?

 

Thank you

Thank you for your quick reply.

 

I have bounced it as an AIF and WAV. Sounds the same as when I listen to the project through Logic Pro. Right now, I'm running out through a firewire Presonus unit.

 

The soonest I will be able to check this will be later tonight.

I don't have it running through any plug-ins. I just double checked the Presonus mixer and there isn't anything funky there. Also, I just bypassed that and plugged straight into my iMac again and there's still bleed over.

 

I use Ultrabeat to generate my click and Stylus RMX/Apple instruments to generate my loop sounds. I have bounced each (click ad loop) individually and then dropped them into new projects to make sure I didn't accidentally have a weird setting going on there, too.

 

Keep trying me. I'm sure I have missed something.

 

Thanks again for the quick reply

Can you clarify this for me? Without bouncing, when you open a Logic project and pan a click hard left, and a loop hard right, you can still hear the click from the right channel? How are you detecting it: with speakers? Headphones? Plugged into the Presonus or the built-in, in both cases you can hear the bleeding?

I have molded in ears and reference monitors. I plug in my in-ears to the presonus and the the direct output and hear the bleed through both. Obviously, the in-ears are much more sensitive, but I can still hear it a bit out of the reference monitor too (which is through the Presonus). I would guess 5% of the volume is bleeding through (not an exact amount, just a guess.) it's very faint, but loud enough for my FOH guy to hear it in the right channel through the mains (the bounced file).

Everything looks good in Logic. Ran some test with a test oscillator and there is zero crosstalk. If you solo one of the two channels and bounce an AIFF or WAV and look at it in the sample editor, you should see a waveform on only that channel and silence on the other.

 

It's possible you may be getting crosstalk from the analog circuitry of your audio interface.

hi all . im having the same issue . in the logic song all good but when i bounce down there's bleed . i want mono backing track right and click left . It must be a bounce issue , in split stereo no problem , but interleaved or anything itunes actually play has the same bleed , as anyone sorted this one ? Thanks

Hello ruu and welcome to Logic Pro Help. Please add your Logic version and system info to your signature: Forum Rules - please READ THIS before posting (#5)

 

Then if you want, attach your project to this thread so I can test a bounce.

Yes i think i found it ! nothing to do with Logic but a preference in itunes called 'sound enhancement' thankyou very much .

 

*TO PRESERVE EXACT PANNING IN ITUNES TURN OFF SOUND ENHANCEMENT PREFERENCES PANEL!*

David - I am having a similar issue! I am running a click to my left and an audio track to the right (both hard panned) and I'm getting bleed. I am using in ear monitors plugged directly into my macbook and NO plug ins/reverbs/effects. I tried the directional mixer to no avail and even tried a different pair of headphones to see if there could be an issue there! Your help would be more than appreciated!

Why do so many people have this problem?!?! I have just tried to make some back tracks for the first time in logic and I have bleed. Didn't do this in Ableton Live. I have searched and searched in forums and no one knows how to fix it.

Why do so many people have this problem?

For various reasons, none of them being related to Logic. Some being discussed in this very thread.

With all due respect I just helped nealwoollard and ruu fix their issues in this very thread. The bleed often occurs in analog hardware and not with digital software (where it's not a challenge at all to avoid). An exception is lossy compression formats.

 

Can you add your system info to your signature: Forum Rules - please READ THIS before posting (#5) - then describe how you're recording, monitoring and experiencing the bleed. We'll help you troubleshoot it.

Chances are the bleed occurs in your audio interface. Have you tried bouncing the output of Logic and looking at the waveform?
