New in Logic Pro 12.4

pretty fire yo

I’m just learning logic and randomly whenever i would time skip these tracks would unmute. The ones that have a green box with white text “read”

Idk how to change this. If you have any idea let me know please

I'm assuming there's a setting I'm missing. I have an audio file with analyzed chords which I can put into the chord track, but it doesn't show under the audio region. When I copy and paste it into a new project, it shows there.

Am I indeed overlooking a setting? LogicPro help and web search turned up nothing.

I'm experimenting with using the M-Vave FM-1 as a portable midi controller. I used to use an Arturia Minilab 3 but turns out I didn't really use it a lot since I'm not really a keyboard player, I wanted to use it mainly as a control surface and if I need to input some midi notes. My desk also doesn't have too much space so it's usually out of my desk. I like that the FM-1 can sit on the left on my keyboard so I can use it more.

I'm currently using the CTL-1 custom firmware which turns this into a full midi controller: 4 knobs, 4 banks, 16 switchable channels, and the keys. The sound still works on its own. I just turn off the volume if I don't want to hear the built in sound.

CONS: the knobs are stepped. The bare knobs (just bare potentiometers actually) are a pain to use so I had to put these knob caps which greatly improved its usability. I wish they weren't stepped but they work fine.

Still my main problem with Logic is it will always control the first instance of the plugin if it's used multiple times in the same track. I really wish there's an option to just control only the active/open plugin window, to prevent accidentally adjusting a different plugin which is a mess.

I've been really interested in using a control surface but the well known brands that work great with Logic are very expensive for me and they're not available in my country.

MacOS ver. 26.6.2

Logic Pro ver. 12.4

Edit/solved: It seems to be a mixture of the mastering agent being crap and working in a sub-ideal listening environment leading to this type of curve. Thank you all for helping!

I hope this is the place for a question like this. I produce my own beats, write and perform my own lyrics, etc., mostly spoken word. I rarely work with other musicians and therefore get very little competent advice from outside my own head.

Here's the question: Whenever I let Logic's Mastering Assistant do its thing at the end of a project, I always get a corrective EQ in more or less this shape and form, no matter the song I'm working on. ( especially the bump between 700 and 5k hz is always very prominent )

My projects however are sonically very different from one another, so I wanted to know what it is that I don't hear correctly, when producing? It seems I'm always making the same mistakes, and it seems there's almost a method to it, lol.

Thx in advance

I am new to Mac and Logic, and I can't understand why sometimes my MacBook Air's trackpad is registering Force Touch even though I am clicking only once. This is mostly happening when I solo a track and try to zoom individual tracks.

Why does this happen? Is it normal? I don't think it's a trackpad issue as it's only happening in a few cases in Logic. My MacBook Air is running macOS 26.7.1 and Logic Pro 12.4.

Hi

I've been trying to learn music production along with music theory for a few months now.

I listen to a wide range of music so it's difficult for me to know what I want to make yet. I feel like a cow trying to find its moo.

I have installed Rave Generator on Logic and it works but is about the most unrefined plugin I have.

Instagram has picked up on my new musical arc and I keep getting recommended plugins. They're all fairly cheap (less than £40) but I worry about how well known they are.

This one called RAV3 by "TheProducerSchool" keeps getting recommended. It looks pretty good, like a full successor of RaveGenerator, however I'm afraid it's not very well known. The video demo and the graphics, to me, feel like they're a bit AI generated.

I understand everyone is at different points with AI (I'm an engineer) but I doubt I'll ever be happy to support AI imagery. Music is a creative thing, that includes the visual side of it.

So I guess I'm just asking if this plugin is any good? Or if this company is well known.

I could be overthinking it and I could be wrong. It's just some of the images of it are inconsistent, like "REVERB" showing as "REVERS" at certain points. Plus it has that piss tinge AI images used to have.

My dad's a composer and for now he's just saying to avoid buying tons of plugins, but I feel this one could be really helpful for me.

Thank you for reading

Hi Y'all, made this tune on a whim, was wondering if anyone had some feedback or ideas what to do to improve. Mix is not really where I want it so mainly want to make some of the sounds fit better.

If anyone has good ideas on things to add/change let me know!

much Love

sip

I could successfully install the Ample Percussion Cloudrum library on my external SSD which is formatted in APFS. It's also running in Logic. But when I'm trying to install Ample Guitar M Lite library on the same drive, the drive is appearing in the Finder but in inactive state and so, it is not allowing me to choose the destination folder on that external SSD. What could be the reason? Please suggest me a fix.

My Mac is running macOS Tahoe 26.7.1.

And before you ask, no, I cannot just update the plug-ins as by nature of being old they haven't had updates in years.

I was wondering if a firepod 8 would still work with the newest update of logic. It uses FireWire and I have a MacBook m2, I just want to know if it would at least work hooking up the interface and recording through my MacBook?

Hi folks.

I'm working on a track and came across an issue that has happened before in Logic.

Using Logic 12 on a M4 Mac mini with Mac OS Tahoe's latest update and this track has 8 MIDI instrument tracks running.

With Logics own Electric Piano that's the main instrument throughout the song every so often upon the release of a note/key I hear an annoying squeek noise that's really grinding my gears. During the song playing it's kinda ok but the El-Piano holds a chord that rings out after everything else stops and when those notes fade and stop the squeek appears again and ruins the ending.

Has anyone else had this issue with any of LP MIDI instruments?

I've tried tweeking the Piano plugin etc but to no avail. The only solution I can think of now is to bounce the finished track and open it in a new project and cut the tail of that audio and add a reverb that's automated towards the end of the audio tail to extend it so it sounds a bit more natural rather than abruptly ending too soon?

Edit to add: This happens with long and short notes like stabs on the El-piano too so it's not the lenght of the MIDI note nor the velocity that's causing it.

Any help is much appreciated.

TIA

I liked the old version so much better. I feel like I could get a decent grove in a minute and then build out details later.

Now I feel like the studio drummer has become overly technical and it’s difficult to get a decent groove quickly.

It’s making me re-think my process and maybe looking into an outside drum software to help build my drum groove first then port into logic for other instruments.

My typical process:
Write song on guitar
Get a drum groove (nothing perfect, just something close to a sound I like with the song)
Scratch in guitar and vocals
Record/ play bass
Add in extras as needed (keys, horns, lead)
Then I convert to midi drum for final edits.

I’m a singer songwriter, more classic rock kind of sound.

Hi, I updated my MacBook yesterday to 27.0.1 and tried opening logic to find this message. Slightly worried as I cant find anyone who has fixed this issue online yet.

I cant open any projects, new or old and nothing changes if I open through finder.

UPDATE:

I was going to delete this but I thought I'd dave incase anyone else needs it...

I updated logic and it works fine now! hopefully I don't have anymore crashes because of the new logic update, but at least its opening now!

For example if I want to make a track that's 10 hours and 3 minutes, how do I do this?

I used to be able to select multiple tracks’ input monitoring. Randomly one day, it stopped letting me. I don’t even have the “Input Monitoring only for the focused track” setting enabled. And when I do enable it, it lets me select multiple tracks’ input monitoring (but it only lets me hear the focused track ofc,) and then when I go to turn it off, the multiple tracks’ input monitoring are all magically on, but then it goes right back to being fucked when I select another track’s input monitoring. Can someone tell me why it’s fucking itself and is there anyway to fix it?

When I split a selection of regions at the playhead using the ⌘+T keyboard shortcut, I’ve noticed that they are not truly cut at the exact same position when I’ve zoomed in. Why is that? Is it just a visual bug or are the regions truly being split at a meaningfully different start time?
It is of some concern if I say snip off some preroll using this keyboard shortcut then export the tracks into a mixing projects, will that introduce timing changes that may potentially alter the phase response of multi mic’d sources down the line?

Hello fellow Logic users, just wondering which kits or kit pieces you like in Logic if you do synth pop or modern pop? I like to do a lot of retro 80’s type pop (see Haute & Freddy, Nation of Language) and I tend to use the stock Linn Drum, Analog Circuits or Neon kits. I do a little mixing and matching with DMD and adding effects. For those of you who dabble in this genre or style, I’m just wondering which Logic kits you like, or any tips and tricks you do to get that retro 80’s style sound? I feel like a lot of the electronic kits in Logic are geared toward hip hop or modern EDM. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Why is this happening ? How to fix it ?

All my logic pro projects have got this. All of them. I can't hear anything.

Does anyone have the issue with audio input connecting and disconnecting in Logic? The orange mic mode flickers and audio input cuts for a second. This only happens in Logic -- if I switch to Ableton Live or another DAW and have my settings exactly the same it works fine.

The reason I put mic modes in the title is this has only seemed to be an issue for me since that Mac feature was introduced.

Logic Pro 11.0.1 & Tahoe 26.5.2

I made a video showing how you can produce, mix and master your song with only stock logic plugins.

Logic’s stock plugins, virtual instruments and samples are the best of any DAW so don’t be buying all these third party plugins!

What are some other underrated stock plugins I didn’t include in this video?
