Do professionals ever re-record vocals because they can’t remove the lip noise during vocal recording?
Also, even at the professional level, is it common not to remove every single lip noise, as long as it’s not noticeable in the final mix?
What 3rd party FX plugin bundles or single plugins is worth complementing logic stock plugins with?
This is actually one of the quieter parts of the song but the BOUNCED waveform would make you think it's loud (screenshot of my file copy). It happens at about bar 53 every time. There's no automation in this project. There are no plugins needing updated. I have no idea what's causing it. My MacBook is a weak M1 8GB, so I would suspect CPU, but this is the second quietest part of the song (other than the super quiet intro).
BTW, when I say "mute" I mean you can't hear anything, but no mute buttons are activated or automated. You can still see all the signals on the instrument tracks, but there's no signals on the Stere-Out and Master faders.
UPDATE: When I open the project in Rosetta, it plays thru properly w/o muting.
Which one would you choose and why?
Thanks!
Not sure if there's a site for that or if you guys share here sometimes or what.
For me, one good but confusing aspect of Logic is that there are so many different ways to produce drums (without actually drumming):
(I’m sure this is an incomplete list)
I thought Logic’s step sequencer was the latest and greatest method for electronic music, but I watched a lot of house/ techno producers on YouTube and was surprised to find that almost none of them seemed to be using that method. Instead, they generally pasted drum samples directly into the tracks as audio or midi.
Anyway, I’m a bit unsure of how to proceed. Would anyone like to share something about your preferred or favorite method?
I searched and found some posts from 5 months back and they all came to the same shitty conclusion: Apple sux and there is no practical way to keep the library file on an external drive that is only plugged in some of the time without having to manually re-specify the location every time. I figure someone out there has come up with a workaround that makes this "plug and play" using Automator or something like that (because of course Apple failed to provide an API call for this). Help? If you have your library on an external drive, how are you dealing with this?
Tahoe 26.5.2 Logic 12.3
I'm suddenly unable to drag the right side of crossfades to lengthen them. Instead of adjusting the length of the fade it just selects the clip on the right. Wondering if anybody has any ideas since it's pretty annoying to have to delete and redraw every crossfade you want to edit.
Logic Pro 12.3, OSX Tahoe 26.5, and I am already using "No Overlap" Drag mode.
As the title says. Two waveforms from the same set of tracks somehow looking, and sounding, different from each other and the original MIDI. What is causing this and is there a solution?
Using the most up-to-date version of both OS and Logic.
made the sample some time ago and tried making a beat out of it. (tried the same thing in fl too, slightly different outcome tho)
Why, when I mix and master a song at -.2 db and -8 luffs. Sounds great. Then I play it back in a fresh project, it is playing back at +5 db. How is this possible. Also, what are your db and luff targets? My music always sounds much lower on sputerfi than other music.
Both song and recording were done by me. I am now stuck in the classic analysis paralysis trap of being both creator and editor. My hope is this community can give me constructive mix/mastering feedback with advice on what to change in the context of Logic, as it is also my first time using the program. Thanks in advance!
marque tool acting weirdly, with kind of a lag.
clicking on top of the clip sometimes make it move out to a random track.
sometimes crashing when stretching a clip.
etc etc
I never seen so much problem in logic before. :(
its kind impossible to use that way.
I wonder if they take long to fix it?
I’m working on a song which is a rock-jazz fusion! There is a part in the song where the drums needs to be really jazzy with a pop brush! The logic ones I don’t really like that much, any suggestions for more drum kits or patches or plugins?
I've created a music production for beginners, which explains the basics on how to create your first song in Logic Pro. I'm giving away the access to the course for free (30+ videos). The only thing I ask in return is some feedback. Comment or write me a DM if you are interested...
I produce/mix my own stuff and have been confused about guitar specifically for a bit. For context, I go DI to interface and use amp sims in the daw. My specific question is about stereo imaging and best practices.
When I am writing guitar parts, I love using chorus/delay/verb - via a pedal that’s within the amp sims or etc.
The question -
When it comes to FX that are a part of these amp sims, what’s the best way to go about using them when thinking long term toward the mix? With acoustic guitar, I record 2 takes in mono, pan one left a % and one right a %, then send a portion of them both to a stereo bus with verb. But with electric guitar, it’s more confusing for me because things like chorus, overdrive, feel like they are part of the sound…
Also - If I use these FX, I’ll obviously need to load the plugin in Mono->stereo mode, which makes things a even more confusing when I’m thinking of the stereo image.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance!

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.

The other day my friend and I made a song and she wanted the project sent to her, so she did something in Logic to make the project save in a separate folder with the audio files in their own separate folder aswell. And now I can’t undo it!! So everytime i create a new project, I get a ton of folders and it’s making me insane. How can I fix this? And how do i reverse it with the projects that are already saved like this
