r/Logic_Studio

I have been very fond of music for some time now. I really want to start producing music basically it's my dream . I just have a Ipad with logic pro and a pair of airpods and wired usb c earphones. Can you guys please guide me

I have been watching a couple of youtube videos and want to dedicate like a major part of my day to music production every day

I know that there are many different workflows when it comes to mixing and I wanted to ask something that I’m not too certain about.

Lately, I’ve been using logic’s stem separation tool on my full track and working on mixing from there. Most of the tools especially with logics, I’ve tried split the song into around 4–6 stems (drums, bass, vocals, instruments, etc correct me if I’m wrong)

After that, I mix each one of them individually as well instead of working with the full stereo file.

So it made me wonder: is this a good strategy for mixing or am I trying to over complicate the process?

So does it give better control as well • or does it reduce quality compared to mixing from multitracks/stems provided by the producer?

And also what about vocals?

For example, at times I’ll have a demo vocal that isn’t really fully processed or perfectly mixed yet. So basically I’ll separate the track into stems, then try to tweak and balance everything around it in a way. Maybe In some cases, I even record new vocals on top of the stemmed instrumental.

So what are your experiences does stem seperation tools especially from Logic actually effective too especially if you wanna know the frequency spectrums of each component? Does it hold up professionally, or is it more of a workaround?

I have been using Logic for many years. And in that whole time, I’ve never really used or explored the project browser. First, is that weird? Have I been using logic “wrong” or missing out on very powerful capabilities?

Second, how do you use the browser? What is it doing for you? How does it improve your workflow?

Thanks so much!

1. sampling midi (with a chosen AU output) in the file browser with one click

2. renaming piano roll for 3rd party drums

How do professional engineers usually deal with this?

Do most people use iZotope RX for it?

Or do they manually edit/cut the waveform one by one?

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

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently started working with Logic Pro and I’m struggling a bit with the overall usability and workflow.

To me, the interaction design feels rather unnatural. I know this is kind of intentional with Apple software — similar to Final Cut Pro — where Apple tends to enforce its own workflow, input behavior, and UI philosophy.

In macOS, I already changed my mouse wheel behavior to “normal”:

• scroll up = content goes up
• scroll down = content goes down

But inside Logic, everything still behaves in the Apple “natural scrolling” style:

• scrolling up moves things down
• scrolling down moves things up
• even middle mouse panning left/right feels reversed

Another thing:
I would really like tracks to automatically enlarge when selected. I found some kind of workaround, but it feels hidden away and fiddly via the track header controls in the top-right corner.

So my questions are:

• Are there any settings, hidden tweaks, or workflow tips that make Logic feel more natural and responsive?
• Is there any third-party software that improves the UI/UX experience in Logic?
• Maybe tools for mouse behavior, navigation, zooming, track handling, or general responsiveness?

For Ableton Live there used to be some nice helper tools and workflow enhancements, and I’m wondering if something similar exists for Logic.

I’d really like the Logic UI to feel a bit more reactive and less “floaty” / typical Apple-style.

Would appreciate any recommendations or setup ideas.

I followed the steps on the Apple support page regarding copying automation from one track to another, literally (clicking edit) and with the key commands. But when I paste oniony get a replication of what's already on that track. Is anyone able to copy automation? How do you do it? I'm on version 11 something.
Thanks in advance!

I am learning to produce and have been using logic for a while but can not for the life of me figure out drum programming. I struggle to find kits I like or samples to build my own. I’ll put a great little track together and start working on drums and it kills everything. Can anyone provide any tips or tricks please

Yesterday I updated (only updates, no new instruments or sound pack/loops were installed) my Logic Pro CS 12 library. Looks like roughly 90GB went missing. My whole library is around 90GB, so it seems like Logic installed it twice.

I searched the disk manually (used daisy disk) and could not find anything.

For context: before the update I had 670GB free, after 580GB.

It’s strange that just updating existing content would need this much ADDITIONAL space.

Any ideas?

I'm using Logic version 12.2 and MacOS version Tahoe 26.3.1.

I've always had the same process to make the beat duck out a little bit during vocals.

I change the output of every vocal track to Bus 1 and then I put a Compressor on the instrumental and Sidechain it to Bus 1.

In the track I'm working on now, I did everything I normally do and there is no option for Bus 1 on the Sidechain menu in the Compressor.

The only options I see are each individual audio track and Input 1 & Input 2.

Hi everyone, I am kinda bored with Apple’s built in amps and pedals. Now I am looking for free plugins I can download.
I am interested in metal and doom metal distortions.
Do you have any suggestions?

Good morning,

I'm very happy with Bitwig Studio. Because I can save everything as Devices, Presets etc..
So the Instrument and FX Chain is saved in one Track Preset.

Sometimes I'm missing Logic, because it has many creative Plugins and loops. Also Alchemy is one of the best Instruments.

Can you tell me how you would save a Instrument including the Effect chain?
Is this possible in Logic?

Otherwise I'm also playing with the idea to connect logic with Bitwig to record some Alchemy Synth Tracks in Bitwig.

Thanks a lot :)
