Does anyone feel a sense of accomplishment simply being able to make music they like on their DAW?

I remember 4 years ago I thought it would be SO COOL to know how to produce my favourite genre. However, it literally seemed impossible. And then when I finally gave it a try I couldn't believe how difficult it was.

Like many producers starting off, I would constantly ask myself: "why doesn't my music sound as good as ____"

Over the years, you learn bit by bit to a point where you are happy with your stuff, regardless of whether you are famous or not.

It's a lovely feeling of personal contentment that producing has given me.

For anyone still trying to learn to produce/use Logic here are some things I wish I knew:

1) Using a reference track will save you so many hours of painstaking trial and error. I was making the dumbest mixing mistakes for years because I didn't use reference tracks.

2) Study the arrangements of the music you are trying to make. It's easy to think your song sucks but it's just that the structure of the track is off.

3) Learning basic EQ/Mixing will save you a lot of headaches.

4) Sound selection matters a lot. Don't settle for a sound you think is "off"

This was making me crazy, and after setting up all kinds of ridiculous routing configurations to try and print midi drum tracks/producer kits/multi channel kits, I realized there is a method that requires only 4 clicks…

1. Click on the channel that has the green “drum kit” on it, this is the “overheads” when you instantiate a multi channel/producer kit.

2. Click on “file” at the top of the screen

3. Under “Bounce”-> Click “Track in Place”

4. Make sure “Include instrument Multi-Outputs” and “As Additional Tracks” is selected (bypass effects plugins if desired) then click “OK”

   Done! You should now have all the tracks as audio in your session! Including “Kick In, Kick Out”, “Snare Top, Snare Bottom” and “room” etc.

   I personally find it way easier to work this way and wish I knew about this sooner! Hopefully this is useful to someone else!

Hello everyone,

Over the past few days, I've run countless tests, switching back and forth between three operating systems to make the version more and more stable.

Many hours have gone into the reverse-engineering process and testing on all platforms using the actual hardware.

I probably don’t need to mention that this was done with massive support from AI, but I still believe that writing posts involving human interaction should NOT be done by AI. That’s why I wrote this post myself typos included xD.

After extensive testing on macOS using Ableton and Garage Band, I’m now confident enough to share the news, and I’m looking for people who own Access Virus TI hardware and might want to participate in the testing phase.

As I mentioned before, I don't have a Logic license, so I ran all the AU tests using GarageBand. Since this program also uses it I'm pretty confident that it should work.

All features and bug fixes are listed on this page.

https://derpsn.github.io/access-virus-ti-revive/

If you'd like to really dig into it, there's also a link to GitHub available.

The plugin is free and will stay free.

I recently bought Logic Pro and have spent countless hours watching long tutorials to learn how everything works. I’ve understood the basic fundamentals, but there are still so many things I don’t understand and so many features I keep seeing without knowing what they’re actually used for or how to use them properly.
My biggest problem is that I can slowly start to create things that don’t sound too bad, but I have no idea how to reach the level where I can take a random song I listen to regularly and recreate its beat as accurately as possible, almost exactly like the original.
Do you have any recommendations for how I could learn to do that? Or, even better, do you know anyone who could help me work through a song of my choice, step by step, so I can finally understand the process and get the hang of it myself?
I’d be willing to pay for a lesson if necessary. I feel like I mainly need someone to guide me through the process once, explain the reasoning behind each step, and help me understand the principles so I can eventually do it on my own.
That’s why I wanted to ask you. I’d really appreciate any advice you could give me!

Hey

Probably a bit of a noobie queation but I always use my headphones when making music and things sound great. Once the headphones come off and I play a song in my car or using other earphones it doesn't sound how it did when I use the headphones as the balance is different.

I can see the equaliser settings on my headphones through my phone app (sound core q20i if that matters). Is there an easy way to adjust the equaliser settings in logic pro to get the same sound when not using these headphones? I feel that the only way to get the true song as I intended is to use those particular headphones and it's a bit annoying

Thanks

Mega amature here. Always used Logic's stock plugins, recently started hearing that that might be the reason my mixes all still sound like GarageBand no matter what I do.

Anyone have any reccomendations for good/cheap/free/not too intensive 3rd party plugins that might take an amature mix to the next level?

Cheers.

I can hear sound normally but there are no waves like if it were empty what shoud i do

When using speed up or speed down on an audio region the normal fade on the other end will work but will always leave a click which is well, which makes the fade uselessBug Showcase in cloud

I’m talking about rnb songs like U got it Bad by Usher, Bills, Bills, Bills by Destiny’s Child, We Belong Together by Mariah Carey and Say Goodbye by Chris Brown, they have this type of guitar used so I’m wondering what type of guitar is used to emulate that sound? Are there plugins I can use that emulate this sound so well or you know make it by scratch?

Since MacOS27 comes with improvements of the CPU scheduler (which decides which tasks to process on which CPU core) I wonder if this has any impact regarding the usage of efficiency/performance cores in Logic Pro?

Right now (as it is well known) we still have the following CPU bottlenecks in Logic Pro:

- M1-M4 (Pro)/M5 base: No use of efficiency cores (see James Zhan Videos on YouTube).

- M5 Pro: Only half of performance cores are used. I bought this one and can't believe I can only use 12 of the 18 cores I have bought with Logic.

Does the improved CPU scheduler in MacOS27 Golden Gate have any effect on that?

If anybody has already made the switch to MacOS27, I would appreciate if you could check that out!

Me acabo de comprar la Mac Mini M6 y estoy intentando aprender Logic Pro 12 ya que compré la Mac para producir mis propias canciones pero estoy en ceros

Ya tenía muchos años sin tener una computadora es primera vez que tengo una Mac y quiero saber por dónde empezar

También estoy buscando cursos en línea y presenciales

I am using Logic Pro as a live mixer to route my mics along with 4 backing tracks, a click track and a cue track to the main house sound as well as three completely independent in-ear monitor tracks. I love that I can do all of this with a singe 4 in 4 out audio interface (Behringer UMC404 for $125 US). The four outputs are my main (mono) plus three monitors.

Yesterday, during practice in the middle of a song, the latency suddenly went from about 10mS to well over 1 second. This would obviously be fatal during an actual performance. I switched the Logic Pro output device temporarily away from the UMC404 and back and it fixed it.

I have seen this a couple of times before, but never in the middle of a song when I wasn't doing anything else with the computer. This has me spooked.

Has anybody seen this before? My theory is that I didn't turn off my other notifications, so maybe it tried to output a system alert sound from email and that messed up the audio routing.

I am running Logic Pro 12.4 on an M4 MacBook with 128Gb RAM. I am using loopback to bring 6 tracks over from Stage Traxx 4.

I'm not really asking for direct help in debugging this problem, because it would require a lot more info about my exact setup than I'm willing to look up right now. I'm just asking if anybody has seen this before. I'm also curious if anybody uses Logic Pro as a live mixer.

For now I will try to disconnect from the internet and shut off as many of the external processes as I can and try it again.

En Ableton Live pulsar la rueda del ratón como botón me permitía desplazarme “jalando”, existe su equivalente en logic pro?

I am planning on learning the program but I don’t own an Apple computer just yet. I am planning on buying one used to save money but I am having a really hard time figuring out which MacBooks are still compatible with Logic Pro since Google keeps telling me that some will struggle since no longer supported.

Looking to learn how to make some hip-hop style beats just as a fun hobby to get into. How long would you say it took you (or the average person) to really start feeling comfortable using Logic Pro when starting with zero experience?

Thanks

I’m trying to program this drummer track but for some reason, the first two kick beats are faster than the rest and it’s annoying me so much but I don’t know what to do.

(I can’t upload a video on here so)

Hi everyone! I’ve just got a MacBook Pro and I’m going to be using Logic Pro to start creating some music.
I’m looking at microphones at the moment and would love some recommendations. I’m mainly wanting to record vocals, but I’d also like to record some of my sound healing instruments, particularly crystal singing bowls.
I have a Roland FP-90 digital piano too, which I believe I can connect via MIDI.
I’m hoping to buy something good quality that will last, rather than buying something cheap and having to upgrade later on.
I’m assuming I might need different microphones for vocals and instruments, but I’m not really sure where to start!
What microphones are you using and would you recommend them? Any advice would be really appreciated ✌️

I’ve been using Logic for years, and one thing that has always bothered me is browsing normal MIDI files.

If you have a larger MIDI library, filenames usually tell you very little about what is actually inside. My workaround for a long time was dragging batches of MIDI files into Live Loops, putting an instrument on the track and auditioning them there. It works, but it is obviously not a very convenient browser.

So I eventually built a small plugin specifically around that workflow.

cueMIDI lets you browse MIDI files from folders, preview them in sync with Logic through the instrument you are actually using, transpose them if needed, and drag the MIDI you want straight into the project.

For Logic there is a dedicated AU MIDI FX version, so it sits directly in the MIDI FX slot (there's also a VST3 version).

I deliberately kept it pretty minimal. No database, no tagging system, no MIDI generation, no library management/ database. It is basically just the workflow I always wanted Logic to have for MIDI files.

There is a demo if anyone wants to try it:

Happy to answer any Logic-specific questions about how it works.

Everytime i tries to move a patch onto the instrument tracks it just crashes immediately. This only happens when i do this on my external monitor and the problem do not exist on my iPad. Does anyone know what causes this?

so i've a macbook air m1 8/256 bought 2 years ago for my education and later realised this macbook can't handle some amount of plugins and sometimes lags when i open youtube with logic pro , the catch is the current mac can handle basic stuff

basically most of work is done in my bedroom i don't go to studios and i travel a lot here and there

so i thought i'd buy the mac mini m6 16 or 24 gigs one and use it at home and carry those logic file in mac m1 and i can play or modify those files on mac m1

Do you guys think it's good investment and in my country the m6 mini is country 81-89k ie 810-900$

Hi. I just got new Mac upgrading from something quite old. Used Time Machine to restore and have updated logic as well. All projects have lost links to all audio files. The paths logic is looking for are still there, verbatim, as are the files. Locating manually works but only one file at a time. Its not triggering logic to look in that location for the rest. If I try to search the files it skips through like it’s not searching at all and fails to find the files. Any advice?

Sorry, I’ve been out of the game a while. I recently bought the Plogue Chipsynth SFC and it’s been a blast tinkering around with it. I can get Logic to play the synth from midi piano roll from Logic no problem. My issue is, I can’t figure out how to record the audio that is being played from Chipsynth back into Logic. When I create an audio track to do so, I can’t find the Chipsynth on the list of possible inputs and the Chipsynth has no output setting of its own. Any help is appreciated, thanks

Ive been using Fl studio for the last 10 years or so and have recently made the switch to Logic, Im using a Mac and Fl studio just sucks so using logic was the obvious choice. My question is, for anyone that's used Powerkit by Soundblind (or something similar) the pre-mixed sound in the plugin sounds great, but as soon as I try to route out the kit, the sound gets blown out. For instance, I'll be listening to pre-mixed kit, then as soon as I route out the snare, it gets louder and honestly just sounds horrible. Not sure if its something im doing or what, honestly at a loss

I’ve been trying to record vocals using my apple wired earbuds, and no matter what I do with EQ or the compressor it sounds like garbage. I know it’s possible to get clear audio with this mic, as I know multiple artists who use it. Does anyone have a preset or advice for clear audio with these?

(V10) I have an interesting scenario where a lot of the synth patches seem to be panned a bit to the right. I've scoured all software, sends, and busses for pans, the meter reads same peak levels L+R, but the image is shifted to the right. Always the right, never left. I even started to wonder if my monitors were malfunctioning, or if my left ear is bad. I switched L+R in a gain plugin and the image switches to the left so it's not hardware or my ears 👍🏼 still confusing. Two I can think of off the top of my head are "flea market wurli" and "new carnival synth" if anyone wants to check if theirs are the same. I can live with it, it's just an interesting thing and wondering if anyone has noticed this and found a decent workaround
