How much real instrument recording VS in program MIDI do you use?

Especially in regard to drum tracks, is it worth micing up my kit and laying down beats or do you find you can achieve the same thing within Logic? And if so, what do you use - I’m using a keyboard atm but am looking into better equipment if it means more freedom/control with drums, synths, effects etc… best controllers for bedroom production?

Thx!

Why are my exports so quiet

Whenever i mix a song and export it, it sounds really quiet, im using all physical gear(korg opsix and monologue mostly) the audio isnt clipping but also is at the edge of the green on the lil monitor that shows output levels(forgive me im very new to logic pro). For the most part it will sound fine in my in ear monitors but sounds so quiet when playing through something like a car sound system, sorry if im not explaining well but any help would be greatly appreciated

How to collab on projects?

Hi everyone :)

As per the question, I’m trying to figure out how to share projects with plugins and audio included; I’ve figured out the audio and plugin part mostly but virtual instruments etc. that reference audio on my system, how would I get those to work on my friends computer? We’re using Kontakt libraries and Trigger 2 in our sessions.

Thanks in advance!

Seeking feedback

Hi I am fairly new to composing and recording in Logic. Would anyone be open to giving me some feedback on it? Not so much looking for critique on the composition (I know its a bit boring), but would love thoughts on EQ, Reverb etc.

I don't love how it sounds. Let me know and I will share the track

ELI5 Logic V12 for "never pay" types

I have a deep investment in Logic Pro, with several hundred live multitrack recordings that go back 8 years, and a learning curve that's been a slog.

I've stopped updating on V 11.2.2

Now, I've seen the notes about backing up the app then doing the upgrade via the store. I know some folks have had disappearing libraries and I have to say, I do so little with libraries and legacy sounds that it will not affect me, but I'd still not like to lose any features that were as yet untapped.

The store is offering V 12.2

Here's some questions:

  • What exactly will be my experience, having purchased the original version some 10 years ago, if I update?
  • Will I be forever assaulted by exciting offers to "upgrade" to the subscription version?
  • Will I lose any features I value now, like stem splitting?
  • Will I never ever see any improvements (besides bug fixes) unless I pay?
  • Will the resulting upgrade install result in a version that sucks up lots more disk space?

I feel a screw job coming on, and it sux because I can't see how to leave Logic without using Logic to do exports. And I hate subscriptions.

Thanks

Gap between notes in basslines!

Hola estoy muy entusiasmado con mi MacBook pro m4 pro 24gb ram y con logic pro 12, intento crear algun track trance upligting trance o progressive trance que son 2 estilos que me encantan... Estoy viendo muchos tutoriales de como crear bajos trance sub bajos con serum sylenth1 o spire. Muchos de los tutoriales que veo y son muy útiles son los de Allan Morrow pero hay algo que veo amenudo aunque no siempre es sobre las notas midi del sub bajo y me doy cuenta de que en muchos patrones de sub bajo las notas a la derecha no llegan al 100 por 100 al fin de la cuadricula... Es decir dejan un espacio entre notas...eso es para corregir clicks? Dar mas groove? O humanizar? Es imperativo hacerlo siempre para Lienas de bajo? O no es siempre necesario? Algun tutorial en youtube que explique realmente por que se hace eso?

(Adjunto algunas capturas para que me entiendan)

Muchas gracias!!!!

Live chord analysis is stuck in A minor

If I play C, E, G - instead of coming up with Cmaj, the chord analysis says Am7. This happens even in a brand new project. Can someone help me reset it to no key! thanks in advance

How can I recreate this in logic?

Video of what I'm trying to do: https://youtu.be/obsSjTJ3Sq0?t=106 (starting at 1:46, ending at 2:00)

Hello everyone! I'm very new to Logic and have been trying various things to "feed" the output of, for example Channel 1 into Channel 2. However, the channel ends up receiving no signal and it doesn't "double up." I'm sure there's a way to accomplish this in Logic but I just can't figure it out, any help is appreciated, thank you!

Drum Machine Designer issue

So I’ve had this issue pop up and i wanted to see if anyone else had worked through it. I’ll load custom samples into dmd and some of them just won’t work. What’s more is that it doesn’t even indicate that the key assigned to the pad is being inputted. I know it’s not a midi routing issue because this isn’t a problem on any other midi instrument. And then sometimes it will just drop samples from the assigned pads entirely. This is so maddening

Oh also, if i select the track header for the malfunctioning pad, then it WILL treat it as a sampler and let me play the sample at every pitch across the keyboard

How to bounce a project as FLAC?

I googled "Bounce Flac Logic", yet no where do I get explained how to do it.

I dont know if I'm missing a dropdown menu or something, but I cant find the option to export as a FLAC.

Only WAV, AIFF, MP3, AAC, ALAC and CAF.

I don't know if I'm missing something, but thanks for helping in advance.

let’s talk about Alchemy and compare it the Organelle

i’ve beginning using Sample Alchemy and it is amazing.
and i’m considering using the Alchemy in Sampler Mode.
can it beat the Critter & Guitari Organelle?
i’m want to make more things sound design based.
and want to avoid higher usage of CPU if that’s possible.

Just bought Logic Pro after spending 2 decades with GarageBand - any tips on initial setup would be so appreciated!

I started recording my own music when I bought my first iMac back in 2005. I didn’t have the time after having 3 kids between 09 and 13, but now that they’re older, I’m back at it.

I spent the last 18 months trying to make GarageBand work for me, but it just didn’t, so I finally bought LP about an hour ago. All I’ve messed with is compressors and… I mean, so much better!

I’m sure there will be a decent learning curve, so anything anyone has to offer would be super appreciated 🍻
