r/LogicPro

I’ve been using studio one for PC for long enough now here I’m really used to it. I’m considering making the switch to Mac for music production and I was thinking I might make the jump to Logic Pro too. I know I can run Studio One on Mac too but I want to hear from people who have made the switch over to Logic (or maybe went the other way) and how you think the two DAWs compare?

In my case, I am almost exclusively hardware for recording and then software for mixing and mastering. I run 5 synths at once and a drum machine, then I process everything and master with plugins. How’s the workflow? Is it great for really tight MIDI tempo/automation running to several synths? Thank you!

I use a nanoKontrol device to control the faders in Logic. When I add the volume automation, I can only seem to adjust the overall level with the trim. Is there a way to still do this with the faders?

What 3rd party FX plugin bundles or single plugins is worth complementing logic stock plugins with?

Same session. Going back and forth between versions. Logic Pro 12.2 does not do this. Anyone experiencing this?

And to background check me check out my page and my beats my mixes everything let me know !

What are the best sample packs with the widest variety of electronic music percussion loops and one-shots?

hi, i use fl however there is these files i would really like to look at but theyre logic files and I have windows. is there any chance anyone would mind just sending the stems back to me please i would really appreciate it. dm me if you can do it please and ill send the zip :)

I’ve been trying to make beats for the longest and why is it so hard to import audio samples to Logic Pro and why is it so hard to access your own plugins like it’s a plane cockpit lol

I'm still on Logic 11, permanent license.. I held back on updating because I saw people complain about Logic 12 requiring regular online verification which sounds annoying. I don't see anything about this in the update notes, is this still an issue?

Basically, would you recommend updating? Please note, I don't use a lot of the features Apple is most keen on updating. I don't want an AI band, I don't want insta-sound tools, I hardly use the sound library or Alchemy or Beat whatever. I have 3rd party plugins and prioritize the basic DAW functionality for recording, editing and mixing.

I did read people complaining about controller support in Logic 11, I see some update notes on that, how has 12 been doing with that? I don't have a controller atm but I might want to get a Presonus Faderport.

Also: I think it's kind of stupid that I can bounce tracks as 32bit but then lose all kinds of basic edit functions. Can Logic 12 finally edit 32bit audio?

Oh, and one more. Logic seems to be a bit hit-and-miss with sidechaining, where some 3rd party plugins that should have sidechain don't offer it in Logic. How's that going?

Hello, I’ve been using Logic for a while, mainly for fun but recently I’ve been taking it more serious and I’m good on computer storage but sometimes these recent projects start spiking CPU usage and overloading the program. It’s for a few reasons primarily but a main reason is the buses and sends and how I use them. Buses is something I’m really not familiar with but I know if I utilize it correctly then I won’t run into CPU spikes. I’m just confused on that and how I should be using the sends.

Mainly, I always use stock instruments , then add more plugins (but never too much), then I just have it set to wherever. Eventually though, everything gets organized into stacks. I just want to know good advice, as I’m starting new projects and I can get the best results for everything. Or if you know any good videos or other discussions that you could link, that would also be really helpful. Thanks!

For those who don't know apple is phasing out Rosetta for all apps apart from a couple of old games from macOS 27.0. This is an absolute disaster for composers who ever need to revisit old projects, most of us I'm guessing, especially in the film/trailer/production music space.

Does anyone have suggestions for how we can make sure apple hears us on this issue and we can push to keep Rosetta in Logic?

The issue is that when I apply clarity to an audio track in logic, and set it on loop, maybe because I want to be working on eq settings, every time the loops goes back to the beginning, clarity gets turned off. And the grading wheel goes back to its original position, so with every loop I have to turn the plugin on, and turn the wheel again to the desired level. It has also done it when running without the loop and reaching a new clip, but here it seems to be failing less consistently.

So my sister is planning on enrolling in a music school and they let her know in advance that they will be using Logic Pro X, which is exclusive to Mac, but my sister has Windows so we brainstormed about how we can solve this problem.

We later found out that VMs will not do the job, not to mention that the school might be strict on the legality of it since this is all happening in France, who knows!

So her only option is to buy a Mac, either used or new, but we're completely lost since I only ever use DAWS on Windows, we're not really iphone or Mac users.

Also, the principal let her know that they will be giving the students a copy of Logic Pro X, I told my sis to send an gmail asking about what version they will be working with, since after I did my research, I found out that certain Macs are obsolete, especially older generations ofc, something about Intel cpus not supporting logic ? IDK I HAVE NO IDEA I'm so lost!

What model should she buy, preferably used!

I have a "vintage" 2019 Intel MacBook Pro, which I mistakenly updated to the new OS and Logic, when the new session players were introduced. The thing is, the new session players don't play well on my old Intel machine, never have - it's like the drummer is wasted... Even in a blank project with just 1 track, WiFi off, no other apps open. Beats are often skipped, with odd delays and misfires all the damn time. Push/pull and swing don't work smoothly either, nor the fills, and the presets are whack IMO. That and I hate the UI in comparison to the old Drummer

Today, I realised I also have an old ("antique"?) 2015 MacBook Pro from before I even started using Logic! I dug it out of the old tech drawer and managed to bring it back to life. It's only capable of running Monterey and Logic Pro 10.7.9, so I logged into the app store, downloaded Logic, renamed it and compressed the app file, stuck it on my external SSD, plugged it into my 2019 MacBook (Sequoia), unzipped it and pasted it into the apps folder - it works seamlessly! And it is running much faster than the newer version!

I know many of you gel with the new session player drummer, but I've spent 5 minutes with the old drummer and it's just perfect and life is better now I have it back.

Happy days. Thanks for reading.

I know this is a Logic sub, but I need to speed up a non-sync voice track. For those of you who have used these programs, which gives the best quality results for a 5-10% speedup: Adobe Audition, DaVinci Resolve, or Logic?

Hey,

I have been using logic stock synths, ES2, Alchemy, Retro Synth and Sculpture mainly and especially Retro Synth. I would like to add at least 1 third party synth.

Can you suggest me 1 analogue-sounding 3rd-party synth to complement my Logic stock synth? I make electronic music. Must be similar to the simplicity and UI of Logics Retro Synth.
