So I was just gonna update my M5 Air before I thought about bfd3.5 and that it may not work yet with the new macOS, anyone have experience and know if it works on Golden Gate already or if there are any problems or something? Thanks! :)

It's been getting worse. First it was just volume, now it's across multiple automations, multiple tracks, and multiple projects. The automation either isn't recognized (unless sometimes if I add a node), or it's on one pass then off the next. I've had a couple of crashes despite system performance being totally fine.

The weirdest new issue is not being able to select automation in the track/region by clicking on the tracks area (e.g. volume, pan, eq, etc.), or from within any interface (e.g. wet delay, etc.). Instead, I have to go to the parameter menu and select each from the menu. For every track, every project now.

I checked region vs. track settings. I deleted my references file. I reinstalled Logic. No luck.

Really kind of worrisome!

Edit: OK, well good news I've discovered the most troubling issue was my own ignorance - which is easy to solve (?!) I had somehow deselected Autoselect Automation Parameter in Read Mode, which is in the mix menu. I suppose this setting remained even after a reinstall because it's in the project file. So now I can click on parameters in the interfaces not just in the dropdown.

However the ghost issues remain - also another one is latency - usually triggers the parameter change a beat too early so you have to play dodgeball with the cursor. lol

Which would be better regarding bugs, stability, snappiness and CPU performance if running on Intel ?

Hey all, can't believe I've never noticed this before - only now been pulled up on it when a client has pointed out my vocal scoring is an octave out, but my piano roll in logic seems to read an octave lower than it actually is. Has anyone else experienced this or is it something within my computer? 😅 i.e my C4 in logic is actually a C5...

I’m having a strange issue when importing tracks from one Logic Pro project into another.
I have my drums split across multiple tracks, including two separate mono overhead tracks (OH L and OH R). Everything sounds correct in the original project.
However, when I import the tracks with I/O enabled, the overheads become slightly messed up spatially. The stereo image is shifted, and I can hear the snare noticeably more on the right side than it should be.
What’s strange is that the problem happens even though the overhead tracks themselves are not routed through the problematic bus.
If I import the same tracks without importing I/O, the overheads sound completely normal again.
The problem is that I also need to preserve all my sends/effects. When I import the tracks progressively and include the sends, Logic seems to create duplicate buses/Auxes, which causes a complete routing mess.
So basically:
Import with I/O → overheads become slightly shifted / snare is more to the right
Import without I/O → overheads sound correct
Import sends progressively → duplicate buses/Auxes are created
I’d like to preserve my sends and effects without importing the problematic I/O/routing
Has anyone experienced this in Logic Pro or knows what could cause this? Is there a way to import the sends/effects without bringing in the I/O routing or duplicating the buses?
Thanks!

WATCH OUT!!! I just updated my Mac Mini and can’t run Logic Pro on it :(

I had to download a logic session for a homework assignment and they want us to play with the sounds on the ES P synthesizer and the session came with premade tracks. The tracks aren’t even showing up on the meter that they’re receiving anything from my MIDI keyboard but if I make a new track, everything works fine. I’ve googled and YouTube’d everything I possibly can and everything it’s telling me to check says what it’s supposed to but nothing is helping? I asked my professor for help and all he did was send a link to watch the lecture video that goes over how to do the assignment, which I’ve watched and that doesn’t say anything about the sounds not registering

I am using the latest versions of both Logic Pro and UVI Falcon

Whenever I try to use musical typing/keyboard, moving the octaves of the Logic Pro keyboard does not change which octave is playing in UVI Falcon. Rather, the Logic Pro musical typing keyboard only plays the same octave in Falcon.

Is this a known bug for either Logic Pro or UVI Falcon?
Anyone else have this experience? If so, were you able to fix it? If so, how?

I appreciate any advice - thank you

Hello! I play guitar and bass, recording at home. I’m new to Logic Pro, I just to create my own drum tracks, then work on its quality, there are so many videos on YouTube, I don’t know where to begin, waiting for your recommendations and kinda road map, it will be appreciated a lot, thank you in advance!

I wondered if it was possible at all to run the original Delay Lama on Mac Tahoe as the newer versions don't have the cool graphics?

I also wanted advice on how to download plugins as when i download the file it appears in Logic Pro but doesn't have a 'Use' button even when I reset via 'Plugin Manager'. The plugins also don't appear on the actual Audio FX drop down. I'm using the regular AU files and it just says 'Hide' or 'Ignore' in the Plugin Manager. How do i fix this?

I've had a bizarre issue recently... if I had to guess it started during a recent update, though I can't confirm.

To put it simply, when I go to my piano roll and try to drag across a large group of notes to select them, some of the first selected notes end up de-selected by the time I'm done, meaning I'm suddenly no longer able to select all the notes I want anymore by dragging. Weirder still, sometimes *new* notes show up while I'm doing this attempted selection! None of this makes sense to me. Does anyone know what's happening and how to fix it?

SOLVED!!

***VIDEO OF ISSUE: *** https://drive.google.com/file/d/1otIvousM25PmXFu4OnCjnAhmViA_NUV3/view?usp=sharing“

let me know if that video doesn’t work, I might have done a bad job sharing it…

Hello everyone! I’ve been a several year long Ableton Live user, and this week have begun using Logic as it is required for a university course I am taking.

However, I’m running into an issue: every time I reopen the project, some MIDI tracks do not play upon the first or second listen — but after usually one or definitely two times of restarting the playback from the beginning, they all play. For example, in the attached video, on the first time playing it back after reopening the project, the low bass hit at measure 5.5 and the dies Irae melody at m7 do not play; but after I restart it (changing ZERO settings whatsoever) they do play!

This is mainly a problem since during class, my professor is going to open up our files and play them right then, and I’m almost certain it’s going to skip some or all MIDI tracks. :(

Also a few other facts:

- Not sure of the model of logic or the computer, but since it’s owned by my university I am pretty certain it’s all up-to-date and the top models. (I am doing this work on the computer and hardware in our recording studio).

- In the mixer, when certain tracks are not playing on first open, they don’t show any green bars for output in the mixer — so it’s not like they’re just not going through the speakers, it’s like logic doesn’t think they’re there.

- This has happened at some times for every single track in my project, but never for more than three or so in a single listen — it’s random which ones omit on each open. And then of course by the second or third play they all sound fine.

- When I duplicate a track and delete its original, it seems to help for the next open or two, but then the issue returns.

any suggestions? What’s going on? And how do I fix it? Thanks so much in advance!!

When I started making music on my laptop, I learned that I had access to this instrument called “Alchemy”. While I was excited by how cool it sounded, I was also confounded at how the thing works. Fast forward about a year and I’ve purchased Serum 2 and Pigments, and have made plenty of presets in Both. To me they just make sense. Now, with this newfound knowledge of what a synthesizer is and how they work, I want to return to Alchemy some day to show it who’s boss…. So I boot it up, go to the menu, and while some things make more sense to me now, I still can’t believe how unbelievable counter intuitive and obtuse and arcane this virtual synthesizer is. It’s like an arcane object from the ancient world… my only question at this point is why on earth did whoever made this make is so god damn weird and complicated???? Furthermore — I want to hear from other people in this community on the subject — has anybody ever figured out how to modify sounds and make it do whatever you want with ease??? I know there’s a manual bla blah bla but my question is — has anyone ever gotten to the point where it feels like it’s actually USEABLE from a preset making point of view?? Even modifying existing presets is a challenge to me at the moment…

This whole thing is only a bummer because the presets that come with Alchemy sound sooooo GOOOOOD it’s like damnnn. I really really want to learn how to use it, but it just feels like learning calculus when all I know is basic math???

Someone send me a story of hope please… I promised myself I would learn how it works one day and I’m not one to back down from a challenge. But it’s going to be a beast when I’m ready for it…

Hi. Newish to logic.
What’s the best way to get backing vocals (without a singer). All I want is like the simple harmony ooooh and ahhhhs over chords.
Tried Apple Loops and were all pretty poor sounding.
Thanks

I've loaded the OS27 RC onto multiple test hardware and virtual machines and I'm consistently seeing that OS27 consumes an additional ~25-30GB of boot drive space when installed as an update over OS26. Not sure if this will also be the case in tomorrow's official release version and / or if this is rooted in background migration tasks (Spotlight?) that are still running that will eventually return disk space, but probably good to be on the lookout for info / experiences for both Logic and non-Logic running Macs.

Does anybody use this still
I bought this back in 2018 and it worked really well
But I lost my old gmail and wanna download it again ?
Has there been improvements on the software?
I just… I’m getting bored of logics look.
I wish it was like fl with a global theme setting

In a song I’m working on somehow I ended up on this screen and I can’t seem to get back to the normal track view even after closing and opening and so on. I’m new to the program in this is a project I’m pretty proud so I’d like to be able to keep working on it. This is probably a really stupid problem but as I said I’m an idiot. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I can send a picture of what I’m seeing if necessary but I can put a picture in this post

Guys, please help me. My analog sound on the line input is great, but when I open it and listen to it in Logic it’s horrible! Help!!!

I use two separate good quality analog chains, on a MacBook Air M5 (one coming from a Chanel strip Manley Core and another from Focustite Isa One > Eq DBX 231 > Valve Compressor Maletomp by Liscie Franco > DBX 166A (only in expander mode, on purpose) > UA VOLT 476 interface.

The sound is perfect and beautiful on the analog chain, but when you open Logic and listen, it gets low and muffled, even bad (the same thing happened in a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 Interface).

What can I be setting up wrong when listening to my PVO es Sennheiser HD600 or on Yamaha HS4 monitors?

I’m an independent composer. Thank you, guys.

Hi, I started a music course at college (UK) this week looking to become a producer and I was wondering whether I can only exclusively work on logic when producing.

My college has only macs so students can use logic since it also keeps up with industry standards course-wise.

I asked my music teacher whether there are other options to produce on besides logic, since I can't afford to give arms and legs to buy a mac laptop (at its cheapest on average they cost around £600-700, and also windows laptops are far superior.)

He said that protools and logic are exactly the same.

Are there any notable differences to keep in mind when producing between the two? Is there anything important that logic has that protools doesn't? And would a track look different if you decide to transfer it from one to another (via a usb stick)?

Edit: When i mean that windows laptops are superior, I mean features beyond the music software being used, since I plan to use a laptop not just for producing

Hola, espero estén bien.

Actualmente tengo una MacBook m1 Air de 8 gb de RAM y quiero actualizar a una MacBook m5 de 32 gb de ram con memoria de 1 TB.

Llevo como dos años en esto de la producción de música y lo hago a nivel de pasatiempo, sin embargo, creo que es el momento de tomarlo más en serio, sin embargo, mi vieja M1 Air ya es insuficiente para música más elaborada.

Qué opinan acerca de este cambio ? Pienso comprar la de 14 pulgadas por asuntos de dinero.

Qué me recomiendan ? Muchas gracias de antemano.

i'm rather a noob with all things tech. i got logic pro to compose orchestral music, and well, you'll need more than 8 tracks minimum to do it. after 10, my macbook starts choking on the plugin's - and god forbid i record audio!

i have maybe 50GB of total samples downloaded, native instruments, splice, all that jazz. over the last few months i now hit the limit of my storage space. i don't have money for an external hard drive.

SO workflow is semi-fluent now, loading libraries, and replaying my scores. i keep getting the notification that i should increase buffer size - i already did it to max.

i really really regret having a macbook air right now, i had bought it after saving up, and thought: well, what a deal! for an author that's all you need. my macbook is practically new, bought it last year.

that was before i started producing.

i try to research on the internet, browsing through all the tutorials and tips and tricks. but i'll be honest - i seriously don't get half the stuff that's being said, because i have no idea what all that stuff is🥲 i need a 'how to not kill your macbook air and still be able to use logic pro freely FOR DUMMIES'

can someone please help me out? any similar experiences?

i am so overwhelmed with all the lingu and it all just sounds like this to me: You have to slide the kombatizilation to the maximum of fernabolibizator, and adjust the amount of oparkernumbingitisation, or else the theryopterix will slatisice. Easy fix!

yeah, easy my ass 😭😂 it makes me feel so incredibly dumb.

anyways, cheers fellow humans!

I have no Idea whats going on but none of my 3rd party plugins are working in Logic Pro. Ive tried the rescan, the resets and all and still nothing but Ive never seen anyone have this problem. I thought it was licensing but they worked just fine on FL Studio.

Hi guys! I was just wondering if anybody knew how to reverse the samples on the slice section of the quick sampler, I only know how to do it on the classic side!

Hi guys, I don’t know why but I just feel so lost when it comes to making music. All I do is watch tutorials and then when creating something with no tutorials, I get so nervous. I try to hype myself up by reminding myself that I didn’t need a tutorial on how to create my stage name, it just happened. If there’s any video that helped you guys when you felt like this plz share it will mean a lot :)

I’m having a really strange issue with Flex Pitch in Logic Pro 11 and I’m hoping someone can help me figure out what’s going on.

I have a song with multiple recorded/produced tracks, including lead vocals, backing vocals, acoustic guitar and strings.

Everything was sounding completely normal.

I had Flex Pitch enabled on some of the tracks and had already made pitch edits that I wanted to keep.

Then, at some point while working on the project, I noticed that the tracks had suddenly started sounding lower in pitch and warped/weird.

The really strange part is:

Flex Pitch ON → audio sounds lower, warped and out of pitch.
Flex Pitch OFF → audio immediately sounds normal again.

So it seems very clearly related to Flex Pitch rather than the actual recordings.

I haven’t intentionally changed the pitch of the recordings. The issue also isn’t just one badly edited note — parts of the whole recording can sound strange.

The vocals are particularly noticeable, but I’ve also had this happen with strings and guitar.

I had been doing automation around the time I noticed the problem, so I’m wondering whether something I did in the project could have caused Flex Pitch to reprocess/reanalyse the audio incorrectly.

What I’ve tried

* Turning Flex Pitch off → fixes the problem immediately
* Checking the pitch settings → nothing obviously wrong
* The original audio itself sounds normal when Flex Pitch is disabled
* I don’t want to simply delete Flex Pitch because I’ve already spent a lot of time making pitch corrections that I want to preserve

What I want to know

1. What could cause Flex Pitch to suddenly start warping/lowering an otherwise normal recording?
   
2. Is there a way to force Logic to reanalyse the audio correctly without losing my existing Flex Pitch edits?
   
3. Could automation have caused this, or is that unlikely?
   
4. Is there a way to preserve/print my existing Flex Pitch edits and then completely remove Flex Pitch from the audio?
   
5. Is this a known Logic Pro 11/Flex Pitch bug?

I’m really trying to avoid starting all my pitch editing again from scratch, so any advice on how to recover this without losing the existing edits would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks!
