Glenn L. Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The kits in Drum Kit Designer are pretty good, but anyways, here's one: you can substitute a 3rd party plugin for Drum Kit Designer in Drummer, IF you can set the plugin to work in GM mode. Tried it with Addictive Drums, works fine, but if you change the drummer, the kit changes back to the default for that drummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assessor Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 If you hold option while selecting a new drummer the active kit (Drum kit or 3rd party) will remain active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckbarlow Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Didn't see the Tuner in the "what's different" list at top of this thread. Rather than an insert, it's global and is only available when an audio track is selected, from what I'm seeing. There's a good use for one of the FXX keys on the numeric keypad section. I've got F16 set to show/hide it. I like the tuner's operation better than the legacy plug-in, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdoubleyou Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 While going through some old sessions, noticed the appearance of the Fuzz-Wah was different, soft of a wood grain motif. You can now drag the Auto Wah, Comp, and Fuzz components to change their location in the signal chain. I don't recall the enhancement being announced as a new and improved feature. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Option-Clicking the disclosure triangle on a Track Stack opens all Track Stacks. Option-Clicking again, closes all Track Stacks. Cool. Adding that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks! Since I'm here already, has logic pro introduced a way to pitch audio samples without using speed flex? I'm trying to pitch shift drum samples. Flex Pitch and Speed aren't that great on drums. I was hoping I could find something in the new track editor area. Any tips? This thread is not really meant for asking question. It's meant for sharing general information and tricks and tips about Logic Pro X. Create a new topic for your question in the Logic Pro forum. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, great point - although it still an insert and not a global tuner, it's just accessible quickly from a button on the Control bar. Clicking that button creates an input channel strip with a Tuner plug-in inserted for that input. But if you select another track with another input and click the Tuner button again it has to create another channel strip for that input, and you'll see two different Tuner plug-ins. Still I'm adding a mention in the original post of this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas Town Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 You can click and drag markers to the Arrange track. What would be cool is if you could click and expand a song section on the Arrange track and reveal a 'sub-track' that shows the chords,if applicable to any midi, in a song. Sadly the chord track is forever gone now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzzzy1 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Logic Pro Remote (version 1.01 at least) will store an apparently endless number of Keyboard shortcuts - I'm up to 11 pages x18 now and it just keeps adding more. Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silas Town Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 The chord track is gone!?! Why? Dunno. I used it frequently in Logic 9 and became part of my workflow. I could always go back but I now have this new song started and well on it's way in Logic X and I'm kinda getting to know things better. I'd still prefer they bring the Chord track back though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you remove something that was already there and expects some retribution to restitute it, it seems rather odious to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Nearly all comments I read about the Logic team's decisions sound like conspiracy theories. If you knew them personally you'd understand that they're all passionate musicians, they love producing music, and they love spending their time making the best possible tool on earth to help others make music. The decision making in a corporation such as Apple is much more pragmatic than many of you seem to think. They may for example look at statistics from bug reports. If they find out that 10% of bug reports are related to the Chord track, and they can't find an easy way to fix the feature that doesn't break other fundamental things in Logic, then the decision to remove the feature makes sense. It's the same type of decision that at one point made the team remove the "Wait for note recording" feature. It pissed off many users, but the truth is, that feature had been broken for years and they probably couldn't fix it without opening a can of bugs, so they just removed it.

Atlas007 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Please understand that I am not ranting at Apple, but just giving a personal opinion about an hypothetical scenario. I could not believe that a product such as Logic could be developed by mischievous conspirators. And it is easily conceivable that at some point, they have to let go some features that are causing more problems than are benefiting users. Although in some cases it is sad that they don't have the required resources to iron out the coding problems behind those great ideas, yielding in their loss...

scottkrk Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I often used the chord track in LP9 to do a quick chord analysis of songs I hadn't played in a while. With LPX I create a 'no output' track at the top of my arrangement and create empty regions named as chords (Em Am7 etc), and adjust the length to show the chord changes. I notice that Cubase has added a lot of functionality around its 'chord track', so it will be interesting to see if the Logic team decide to reintroduce the 'chord track' with additional functionality or abandon it all together. I hope LPX follows FCPX and adds functionality incrementally rather than waiting years for major updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzzzy1 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Since the inception of the 'Notes' feature I have used it to keep a record (per track) of the chords that I use for compositions. Returning to old tunes has less harmonic difficulties. Works for me. rz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6smith Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 "Quick and Dirty" method of using multiple Drummer tracks in the same project... There are probably other ways of achieving the same thing but this is my method.. 1) Create a Drummer track 2) Select the Drummer Track and right click on Track Header and create a Track Stack. Select Summing Stack from the dialog box that appears. 3) Select the first Drummer Track in the stack and press the duplicate track button as many times as you want extra Drummer tracks.. 4) Select the First Drummer track's first Region and setup the parameters in the Drummer interface for that Drummer Region. 5) Drag the Drummer Region down to one of the Extra Drummer tracks you created in step #3 6) Repeat #4 and #5 for each Drummer track you created... 7) Use the track Mute button to turn on/off each fo the tracks in the stack to hear only the one Drummer track you wish to hear.. (Note: You can actually mix two (or more) different Drummer tracks using two different drummers and patterns this way if you wished to!) Additional Note: You cannot change the drummer or the patterns for the additional Drummer tracks you created in step #3. You can only modify the Drummer regions and the Drummer params using track one in the stack but you can then drag and drop the regions onto the duplicated tracks...and the params are carried over into the duplicated track.. Play with it a little... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUncannyValley Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yeah, I'm getting pretty tired of the quasi-conspiracy theories too. Those who venture into that type of reasoning are not unlike racists or eugenicists in their primary motivator: jealousy, petty and primal.

elik Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Just noticed something I don't think I've seen mentioned before. I think this is new as of v.10.0.5 Option double click the gain reduction meter and it forces a new Channel EQ and Compressor to be called up in the first two slots. I know that Option clicking forced it into the top slot; but I think this option double click behaviour is new. Eli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJHP3 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Is the gain reduction meter next to the fader in the channel strip? The help manual doesn't mention "gain reduction meter." I'm not getting anything added to my channel by dbl-clicking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
