Hello Logic users, I'm trying to find out how to disable MIDI reset on a project or global setting. The reason I need this is because I have MIDI tracks which I'm recording from my keyboard, but when I play them back and stop, a MIDI reset message is automatically sent from Logic to the tracks...

Hi there! I’ve finally made a networked setup with a Mac Studio as my main sequencer and my old iMac as the secondary machine, running VEP and hosting all my samples. I’m new to VEP, and have had success in the basics but have struggled to write MIDI CC automation in my DAW, mainly expression...

How are you finding interoperability between different notation programs? Finale v27 supports MusicXML 4, but if I want to transfer parts of scores between one of the other two big named notation apps, then compliance is a rather sketchy. Not everything comes in as expected, leaving lots of...

Hello all. I'm originally from Los Angeles but now live in Tokyo. I'm a professional pianist, accompanist, songwriter and, at least when I was younger, producer. I am now a professional screenwriter. I have pro credits in all fields. My songwriting skills are what brought me to Tokyo, but my...

Hey there I was a Cubase user since I started. Then 7 years ago I switched to Ableton (wasn't doing a lot of picture based works back then). Whenever I do a project in Cubase, my sounddesign and my mixes sound boring and not cutting edge because I'm producing like an orchestral-composer, not...

I spent all afternoon trying to create a stack of VI tracks (Synchron Woodwinds) from one instance of VEP Pro on Logic Pro. I tried everything (AU, AU3...) and I am not able to add more than 16 MIDI channels. I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong as it can't be so complicated. Does anyone...

I’m in the middle of building a big logic template, but when I create a new multi instrument (for another VEPro plugin), the ‘+’ to make aux tracks has stopped making new aux tracks. I tried creating a new project, then imported the template, and can then create new multi instrument aux...

Is it possible to delete an articulation set?

EDIT ***** 8/8/22 Instead of creating a different thread for each DAW, I think its probably best to combine all of my tests to this one thread. Below are all of the tests I have done thus far with Mac Studio M2 Ultra & Kontakt with: Cubase, Studio One, Logic Pro, and now Reaper. (Pro Tools...

Hello everyone. I'm asking this because I'm trying to automate a specific process every time I'm exporting an Audio Bounce through Logic Pro X. Logic users surely know this: when you hit the "Bounce" button, Logic asks you where you want to save the file (as every DAW does). The thing is, by...

Logic Pro: Articulation Remote for iPad Babylonwaves, MetaSystem, and Speakerfood have collaborated to bring a first-class articulation-switching experience to Logic Pro. By making our flagship products PlugSearch, MetaGrid Pro Premium, and Art Conductor 9 compatible, a completely new and...

Hello Everyone, I'm going to make a mockup/cover of some classical pieces and looking for workflow suggestions on how to approach it. These are mostly exercises to help me continue learning Logic and production, and can think of a few ways to do this but with my lack of experience and...

I am currently creating a composing template with a few functionalities that I'm pretty excited about. I can change my orchestral mixes from very in your face (think modern, like the Mandalorian, or some Zimmer-ish stuff) to incredibly room-y mixes like ET or Star Wars, and I can do it in a...

Edit: fixed. All should work now. Thanks to Jordi Torres at logicprohelp.com for finding a solution to the MIDI automation not recording. The short version for those familiar with Logic's Environment: - create an External MIDI track, set its Port to Off - connect to a Transform object, fix Data...

I recently purchased Afterglow from Spitfire Audio, downloaded it, launched Logic and Kontakt, just to discover it doesn't work and I can't figure it out. I go thru all the files, but when I click the actual instrument to load it in, it only half works. By that I mean the controls and such load...

This was a first. I'm scoring to picture and export audio to movie to send off and all my plugins get jumbled, like someone took my project and shook it. all the midi data is where it should be but the instrument plugins are all on the wrong tracks (harp track now has a drum kit as instrument...

Hi all, I can't seem to find a solution to this online, so hopefully someone here can enlighten me. I'm trying to setup Kontakt in Logic Pro so that one instrument patch is loaded up (a piano library) with multiple tracks using that patch. We're talking 50+ tracks that will use the same piano...

I need some help! I've updated to CSS 1.7 and now my articulation settings in Logic for the library no longer work. I can open the instance of Kontakt with the earlier version of CSS and replace the instrument with the same section from 1.7 and then my articulation sets no longer work. The...

Okay, see that Snap button? I am sick to death of having to turn it off every time I go into Piano Roll to draw in some notes. Is there any way to just disable it permanently?

Chords to individuals tracks in Logic: Dear forum: How can we get the notes in a chordprogression to different tracks fast? (situation: I have a lot of chords on a track with ensemble strings, and I want them to be transformed to 4 tracks with violin, viola, cello and bass..) The Logic Chord...

Hey guys, looking for a very simply fader controller to use with Logic and this caught my eye. I really like how it looks and how small it is, however it looks like it may only work with Cubase? If so can you suggest any good simple/cheap faders? Thanks

The state of play in terms of AVX/SSE adoption for mixing threads and audio engines is very uncertain, very few DAW developers promote this. What's the consensus in which DAWs use it and for waht purpose apart from a handleful of plugin developers? Now that Apple have moved to ARM do they...

As I ask in the title, is there a plugin in Studio One that does the function that Velocity Processor does in Logic?

[Or drawing any CC curve, really.] On Logic Pro 10.7.x, MacOS Monterey, Mac Mini 2018, trying to draw CC11 expression stuff directly into the track with a mouse. It's not like it doesn't work, but wow is it a pain. I can't seem to just click-and-drag a line, it's like I need to keep clicking...

Hi there, I'm having an issue using track delay on separate tracks of a multi instrument within Logic. If, for example, I have MIDI playing back on track 1 of a multi with a track delay of 0ms, and I apply a track delay of -200ms to track 3 and select it, then track 1 will playback with the...

Does anyone know of a sure way to set Stereo Pan in Logic using a trackpad? I keep seeing articles that say you can drag inside the green area or drag the white handles but for me it seems hit and miss - sometimes I'm able to adjust the stereo width, but it seems to happen by accident.

Logic Pro question about negative track delay I've read on this forum about a method of having different negative delays applied to different articulations in Logic Pro. (Referring the great work done by @NoamL, @Dewdman42, and @Ihnoc ) In the method, you set a large (say, -500 ms) negative...

I'm new to Logic and I'm having problems altering the scrubbing speed for audio. I've enabled scrubbing audio and I've tried all the speed settings: Normal Fast Faster with same result. I've even tried altering the horizontal zoom thinking that zooming in or out would alter the speed of...

I’ve seen a few videos such as this one by Dan Keen discussing using Logic patches or channelstrip presets for building a template on the fly. I’ve heard it’s been a bit buggy in the past, but I’m curious if the situation has improved with Logic 10.7. Anyone here use a patch-based template...

I'm not a huge template guy, but I've just updated mine for general purpose scoring. What are some must-haves in your template?

Hello everybody! In this video, I've compared the Horn Ensemble libraries from Spitfire Abbey Road One, BBC SO Discover, Logic Pro X Sampler, Kontakt Factory Library VSL, and Performance Samples Caspian. The midi file, CC data, and articulations are the same for all the libraries. At the end of...

Hi there, I have created instrument patches using Kontakt and Cinematic Studio Strings in Logic 10.7.2. but always when I loas patch into track i need to touch CC 1, 2 or 11 to get any sound. This happens only by CSS libraries, no other instrument or Kontakt library. Anyone else experienced...

Hey guys, I really need help for my Vienna Ensemble Pro setup. I've been using Vepro for years but don't know much about it and I'm not familiar with network or NAS etc ! I've been using big orchestral vepro templates but inside my macpro (with Logic ). Now I bought a macmini and I want to set...

Hi all, I am working on my project with Logic Pro (10.17 newest version) when I encounter this problem. Every time I record and starts( like bar 60 for instance) from a region, it automatically creates midi region from bars far ahead from my start, sometimes overlap with my previous midi...

Hello all, I’ve had an issue for quite some time but I just decided to address it because I’m running out of space in my computer. For some reason, my logic projects and my custom template are huge, over 400mb without any audio or midi information. I don’t know what could be the problem, I have...

This isn't a poll about which OS you use for Logic, but which OS you use with Logic and are happy with using. I know Monterey isn't out yet, but I included it since the release may happen soon. It's possible to change your vote later. Edit (2022): The above isn't a suggestion about the OS...

ETA: Updated version here -- Merry Xmas 2021! My initial pandemic project was to learn how to play Guaraldi's Linus & Lucy on the ol' Yamaha NP11 that I hadn't messed around with in years. As the pandemic dragged on, the next project was to learn how to mix a song using Logic. Luckily...

Hi all, I'm moving from Logic Pro X on a Mac to a PC. I'm not yet sure which DAW. I know how to export each project so that it would open on PC. However, I have around 500 projects. Is there any way to automate it so it will batch export all projects? Thanks, Daniel

Hey every one I recently purchased my first sustain pedal (Cherub Sustain Pedal) -- I use an Akai MPK261 midi keyboard I plugged it into the dedicated socket (right most socket) and i fired up logic to try it out. It is not doing anything with Kontakt or Modartt Pianoteq 7 I see some people...

I just got CineBrass Core and I'm wondering if there is a Logic articulation set for it. I am completely new to Kontakt and would just like to get started using CB instead of customizing. Articulation sets have worked well for me with BBCSO. I don't like using keyswitches. And I am not spending...

Hi Has anyone found a workable solution to use VSL Elite Strings in Logic? I think about the limit of 3 ks in Logic where Elite Strings needs 4 (5?). Some of the scripter gurus maybe? Regards Stig Christensen

Sometime last year, I started to have seemingly random pitch drift of some samples on my host. Thought it was some residual build up on my template. Mostly with Albion strings. fast forward to today I finished a completely new template. Immediately having drift on some of my woodwind samples...

Hello, I have been using Logic for about 2 years now. However, for one of my classes recently, we were required to purchase Cubase Elements as our DAW. As I am getting more familiar with Cubase, there are a few features that I like from Cubase that I wish were in Logic, such as the automation...

Hey, I made a scripter plugin that allows me to "hotswap" samples in my sampler using MIDI CC. However I can't seem to make the CC values persist once I hit play or record or when I reload the project. I made a video (w/ sound) that will probably demonstrate what I mean a little more clearly...

Hi all, I'm having an issue with the same key command behaving differently between versions of Logic. Specifically "Region Automation: Volume" (found under "Views Showing Time Ruler" which displays CC7 MIDI Volume in Logic 10.4.8 but for some reason displays the track volume in Logic 10.5.1...

This is a Logic Pro template for Spitfire Audio's Abbey Road One: Orchestral Foundations sample library. It is similar to the template provided by Spitfire for their BBCSO libraries. It is attached to this post as a .zip file, and is also available on Github. It is distributed under the GPL v3...

I found a way to get a sort of control room (like in cubase) (or fx monitoring in reaper) directly in Logic. I want share it here, for me it works, maybe this could be helpful from someone else. You need to have a multiple out audio interface (i used a fireface 800). 1) In Logic create a bus...

Hello! I've completely set up each section of the strings through ARC so that my lines auto Divisi. Does this system induce a slight delay? I imagine it does. I can load single patches and get immediate reaction to my playing, but when triggering the same performances through A.R.C and the...

Everyone, I'm a Logic ProX user. I was looking for information because I wanted to use the cs series that I really love better. And then I found a really good solution, the logical editor of Cubase. There are many reasons why I can't change in logic, and the biggest reason is the usability of...

After yet another cycle of trying out different DAWs I feel more and more uncertain as I move on. Any advice is appreciated! Also sorry for another "help me pick a DAW" thread, but I feel like I have specific enough idea of what I want that maybe that justifies it? :) Also sorry for the long...

Hi everyone, I am planning to move my current Cubase project to Logic and I wonder how to correctly handle articulation changes. In Cubase I have a single VE Pro plugin, connected to a unique VE Pro server instance hosting about 70 VSL instruments. Could you please tell me how should I...

Does anyone have suggestions on the most efficient way to create MIDI note runs with odd number tuplets? e.g. 5, 7, 9, 11 notes per beat? Thank you in advance!

In order to install, you'll need LPXColorizer which you can find HERE Once set up you can download the theme HERE I hope this helps you as the default theme is a bit naff :p

So I have a weird problem going on with syncing of a midi file. I am recording a band live while at the same time the keyboard player is recording the midi of their performance into logic so that I can switch out the sound during the mixing process. When I get all the stems into another logic...

I can find a "virtual knob" for just about everything else, except the CC's, There's no CC to click on to be able to "learn" What am I missing?

I'm a soundtrack-esque hobbyist composer in Alaska. My biggest musical influences are probably Alexandre Desplat, Jerry Goldsmith, Howard Shore, Nicholas Hooper, Jay Chattaway, Martin O'Donnell, and James Horner. I've been relying on Logic's factory library for well over half a decade, and I'm...

I wonder if anyone has a bit of inside to this: When using AutoSampler for looped sounds (in this particular case acoustic recordings, not synth patches) I'd like to know in which situation would I choose "Search with XFade" versus "Penrose" or "Bi-Directional"? I have not found proper...

With a paused dense atmosphere that invites to reflexion, this music is made to be heard in the quiet of the night. I wanted to use my Digitech reverb and delay pedals with the acoustic piano, to create these singular textures that transform the sound of the piano. Look forward to the end of the...

Hi there! I am looking someplace to learn better how to create a good template for Logic Pro. Do you know any course or tutorial where is covered everything? From the basics to how to set up the groups, buses, articulations, configuration of TouchOSC or Metagrid, etc. By far I found the...

Hello! I am looking for some plugins for mixing and mastering. I got Ozone 9 and Neutron 3 elements for free a few weeks ago and I checked that I can get Tonal Balance Bundle (Ozone 9, Neutron 3, Nectar 3 and Tonal Balance 2 All advanced) with crossgrade for 185$. (Reg Price 700$) I am trying...

I impulsively bought Genesis Pro Synth and then realised that its Windows-only VST (in 2020?) Is there a way to run this inside logic, like with Komplete Kontrol or some Blue Cat plugin? If the answer is NO, then someone who is on windows and is interested PM me and I'll send you the (unused)...

Hi all, I decided to create a Vlog entrance on connecting your iOS apps (on ipad/iphone) to your DAW, for controlling some of those sounds from the sequencer. Just the USB connection is needed for sending bidirectional midi and receiving audio. Hope you like it! *Warning: video is in spanish...

In Logic Key Signature is a global setting. If I change in on one track in the score editor it changes it for all tracks. In Sibelius I can have transposing instruments with different key signatures. Logic can’t do this. Much modern music is multi-tonal. Here is a simple example. I am reading...

I am in Logic Pro x and using an Alesis Crimson 2 electronic drum kit (hardware) which I am running usb midi to my Mac to control a "producer kit" (software drum kit) from Logic Pro X. This works fine, I want to also run a Komplete 25A midi keyboard (also USB out) to control a software...

I'm using VEPro 7 and Logic 10.4.4. I have created a VEPro template 4 Instances (WINDS, PERC, STRINGS, BRASS), and I want to use the Logic AU3 BETA Template. But the project only has 24 port with 3 instances. I know I could move merge my instances and then it would be fine. But I want there to...

I'm trying to figure out how to create a reverb send in Logic. But I want the reverb unit to be in a VEPro instance and then on a track in Logic I can use a bus to send a part of the signal to it. From videos I've seen I've only seen how to use the Audio Event to switch the output form a track...

Based on this DAW poll, it seems that Cubase and Logic are the two most used DAWs among composers working with virtual instruments - especially Cubase, but that could change now when Logic has track disable, articulations sets and hopefully more features for composers/VI users in the future...

I've had some serious issues with Logic lately, and spent a lot of time troubleshooting. The main thing that came out of all these hours were mainly one thing: MacOS/Logic allow us to load more samples into Kontakt than our system can handle, and there's no built in way to monitor that. The...

I'm at a bit of a crossroads here and could use some advice. Up until this past semester of college I had a 15u server rack with a 4u workstation, a 3u VEP PC, a Linux server...It just became too much. I wasn't even using the VEP machine and plus the whole setup was a pain to move in/out of...

So I just got a new sample drive. The old one was a RAID 0, this new one is a JBOD. I gave it the exact same name. Copied the entire folder hierarchy. I open up Logic and Kontakt can't find anything. So I have to sit there and re-point everything to the correct location. It's tedious and very...

The new Mac Pro has been announced, and I must say, it's impressive! I think Apple is back to caring about their Pro's. A new Logic Pro X version supporting super high track counts. A new 6K retina Pro Display XDR. For those who are PT users, high HDX card counts in a single machine (up to 8...

In Logic: Is there a way to map a controller to only and always control volume of a specific track? I have a Dialog track an temp music track (audio inputs from my video slave) and I want to map a fader/knob/something to always only control volume of each of those tracks. All of the...

I've never found a good way to re-record dynamics/vibrato (etc) info in Logic. There's something with the workflow which doesn't make sense to me. For instance, I sometimes ending up with stuff like this: Also, both region based automation and track based automatons seem to have...

I'm new to Logic (but not using DAWs) and have a couple of questions: When I load a multi-plugin like Kontakt or Omnisphere in Logic and play one instrument on one channel on my keyboard, all the channels for that plugin light up in the mixer window, and in the tracks window. Is it really not...

Someone suggested in another thread that it would be useful with more Logic tips and tricks, so here's a thread everyone can use to share are find tips. I'll start: If you want to replace only a part of a region in an easy way as possible, enable Content Punch. You can do this by clicking on...

OK - so it's not secret, but my feeling is that many users aren't aware of this or focusing on it: Logic's Modifier (MIDI plug-in). This little plugin is very useful: You can set your mod wheel (or other controller) to avoid the upper range in your libraries, if you feel that they are too...

Using VE-Pro usually in de-coupled mode it happens from time to time that VE-Pro crashes (probably Kontakt is causing it). After re-starting it I have to manually re-connect all the 40+ instances I have going which is tedious. Is there a trick to get them to re-connect automatically? I often...

Hi Guys, I recently bought an Icon Platform M+ with display and have been playing around with it. I have been trying to get it to work with both midi CC and as a fader/transport etc. controller. I have delved into the Logic Control Setup and controller assignments within logic to try to...

At the moment I have my tracks routed to reverbs, through auxiliary sends, and the tracks outputed to a bus. Eg: Violins I Legato goes to the Valhalla aux and is outputed to the UpperStringsLong bus. The problem is when I bounce out my section buses as stems they are 100% dry I wanted to know if...

I recently got a Proteus/1 and a JV-1080 to make 4th-6th generation-style video game music. I grew up with shows, games, and pop music that used these romplers extensively, but by the time I entered the composition game, everything was software. Do any of you have tips, tricks, or workflow...

Hi All Just wondering if I can slave Logic from Mac to Cubase on PC? Or do I need to invest in a 2nd PC and pro tools etc to slave picture particularly to Cubase 9 on my PC? I currently have a macbook with Logic which I dont use much. Thanks Kyle

I am a competent logic user and very happy with the program however I need to upgrade my hardware as I am pushing my machine to the limit. It goes without saying that macs are expensive and overpriced so I am considering windows alternatives and running cubase. This would obviously be a huge...

My VEPro keeps quitting. I have the latest version installed, and I'm using Logic 10.4.2 as my DAW. I used to have a Mac mini quad as my slave and that used to run fine, and VEPro on there never seemed to quit. Now I have moved onto an iMac with more RAM and faster processor. But it seems to...

Hi Guys, Apologies if this is the wrong forum. When I'm writing chords for a section, I often find myself lowering CC11 to compensate for the volume boost of doubling or tripling up samples. I started to wonder if this could automated using the Logic Scripter. To expand: - I start by...

In Logic when your are mixing your orchestral instruments, what panning option do you use on Logic's track panners? Stereo Pan, Balance or Binaural Pan. I see by default its using balance. But doesn't it work better to use Stereo Pan?

Hi Guys, I've been trying to set up some Spitfire stuff in Logic using Articulation maps. I'm using UACC KS and for the most part we have smooth sailing. One hitch though: I'd like to have all my Violin patches loaded in the same instance in Kontakt. For my purposes this would be: Vln Legato...

Is there any way to save a channel strip patch which can: (a) 'send' to a pre-existing reverb aux instead of creating a new one (because I prefer a clean template, using I/O labels and avoiding duplicating the same reverb), and (b) remember the output settings of the channel strip patch...

Hi! I hope the answer to this problem is simple. Basically my midi draw seems to have gone totally rogue. When I record in my modwheel data for my Spitfire Libraries, as I go to edit in the Piano roll editor it seems to have been transported to an entirely foreign (to me anyway) place as well...

I currently have 17 Summing Stacks (Stems) for different instruments / groups i.e. Strings, Brass, Keys, Epic Percussion e.t.c. Is it advisable (or even necessary) to be more specific i.e. Strings Short High, String Short Low, Strings Long High, Strings Long Low to avoid EQ / Reverb issues...

Hi friends, I recently decided to switch back to Logic's default key commands and started building a new custom key command template. Since I switched to the default, however, I'm having an issue where the "control+option+click-drag" to zoom in and "control+option+click" to zoom out are not...

Having an issue with Logic and Kontakt 5's library in particular. I've been using Logic's new articulation feature to switch articulations within regions. This works 80% of the time, occasionally I'll have to jiggle some handle to get it to remember which articulation to switch to. However...

I've made a Logic articulation set for VSL Dimension Strings (full). Because Logic 10.4 cannot currently control the VSL matrices (which need more than one message to set the X/Y axis), there is a corresponding Scripter script which interprets the articulation IDs. If you use this with the...

Have you ever noticed that while most sample libs feature dynamic crossfade (henceforth 'xfade') for expression control, many of the best demos rarely use it? xfade is an inherent compromise between limited sample levels and the continuous, within-note, dynamics afforded by wind and string...

Hi all, I have created some track stacks which contains various instruments in Logic, eg one stack with only violins, another one with only violas etc, and saved them. I'm trying to find out what the simplest and most obvious (if any) way to get access to what I have saved in all projects is...

Hello, It is fantastic to be apart of an engaging and talented community. As an avid watcher of Christian Henson's vlogs, I was inspired to explore the world of sampling. I've loved playing with Spitfire Audio's; Olafur Arnolds' Chamber Evolutions, so I decided to try and come up with my own...

After having my template open for a while I am seeing that Logic Pro is taking up around 22GB of application memory while I only have VE-Pro instances running within Logic itself and those should not cause such a memory hogging scenario... VE-Pro is also using around 20+GB but that of course I...

I am in the process of setting up and testing my new template. The new big change is that I have a new powerful slave machine with 128GB RAM. The new template now has every virtual instrument and sample library loaded onto the slave machine. My slave machine is way more powerful than my DAW...
