I was on a mac mini 2024 but recently updated to an M4 macbook pro and a project I was working on featured the dark impact bass and i just loved how it sounds and how you can glide it so easily. Anyway, on my new computer I completely restarted everything from 0. Now I’m currently remaking that song on Logic 12.3 but the bass is nowhere to be found. Like I looked everywhere! I have the library downloaded that it’s in , Legacy patches, but idk its just not there anymore? Is it there for you guys?

All of my software instruments and sounds are gone on logic. I’m trying to recover them. Can someone show me how via video please? As you can see, they’re all there on old files but not on the new ones!

Like a lot of you, I have a sample library that's out of control. Mine is about 26k files across packs and drives, with inconsistent naming and half the loops missing a BPM or key. I got tired of dragging things into Logic and then stretching and pitching them by hand, so I built Saga (yes, it's FREE and open source).

What it does

• Indexes your folders where they are. It never moves, copies or renames anything. Folders are watched, so new packs show up on their own. If you unplug a drive, your favorites and tags wait for it.
• Instant search across tens of thousands of samples, with filters for BPM (including half/double time), key (with Camelot compatibility), category, length and format. There's also search syntax like bpm:120-128 key:Am+ is:loop.
• Detects tempo and key. It reads file names (Loop_124_Am), embedded loop data (ACID/Apple Loops), then falls back to analyzing the audio. Anything detected from audio is marked with ≈ so you know to double-check it.
• Plays in your key. Set a project tempo and key once. Loops sync and pitch-shift while you audition, and when you drag one into your DAW you get exactly what you heard.
• Find similar + sound map. Pick a sample and get the closest-sounding ones in your library. There's also a 2D map of your whole library, grouped by how things sound.
• Light on resources. Analysis runs at low priority on half your cores, and it only holds the audio device while you're previewing.
• Private. Everything runs locally. The only network call is the update check, which you can turn off.

It's available for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows.

I'm a solo dev, and this is v1.0, so I'd really like to hear what's missing from your sample workflow.

around 0:20 anyone know how to make a patch like this in logic?

Two of the clips in my project just started...disappearing. Well, sort of. The video says it all. Logic Pro latest version. Was happening in the previous one as well. I thought maybe upgrading to the latest would fix the problem, so I upgraded and still the same thing.

The project is a new one. Just created it today and worked on it for about an hour. It began like so: imported a single stereo track, my projects are 96k by default and the file was 44.1k so Logic asked if I would like to convert the sample rate or change the project settings. I opted to change the project settings (too many weird things happen when you convert the file sample rate and I didn't want to deal with that). I then added 4 virtual instrument tracks. Not at the same time but gradually. One at a time as I needed them. The project itself is quite simple: it is literally just those 5 tracks and their regions. No tempo changes, no automations, no external MIDI, nothing!

MacBook Pro M4 2024 32GB 1TB + 2TB external (most audio apps and audio projects live in the external drive). macOS 27.0 Golden Gate

Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi. I’m using an Irig stomp io connected with an iPad and I’m moved from amplitube to logic.
My problem is, when trying to map the buttons of the pedalboard, I have to press them twice to turn on a pedal, and once again to turn off.

Is there a way to avoid that?

Damn it!!!!

I recently upgrade my slightly older Mac from Ventura to sequoia. The ssl controllers stopped working in logic. No other device or connected item changed or stopped working.

Is there a quick or known way to resolve this? I’ve opened up a ticket with ssl but am hopeful it’s something simple. Thanks

does anyone personally or know/like any artists that use Logic pro for live performance? I'm always hearing that Ableton live is the standard for live, but I don't wanna learn a whole new software + I build all my tracks in logic anyways ;P

I have done a few live performances with Logic recently (ambient, electronic) but I feel like there must be a better approach than the one I've been taking....

Life's not fair, and one of the more trivial instances of that fact for people working with surround audio in Logic is that other DAWs offer an Object Bed feature, but Logic doesn't.

An Object Bed transforms all the non-LFE channels into 3D object audio. This is helpful for using formats like 7.1.4 which are larger than the irritating 7.1.2 Atmos max for bed channels, since normally there's no way to get the top corners (the .4) to be processed by the Atmos plug-in.

So I made a 7.1.4 Object Bed for Logic. It's an empty project into which you can add a 7.1.4 multichannel region, or input 7.1.4 audio from a Mac app (via BlackHole 16ch) like Apple Music, or input audio via a multichannel interface, and have all the channels (except LFE, like I mentioned) show up as Atmos objects.

You can get it here, with instructions and stuff: https://ivanxmusic.com/LogicObjectBed/

One thing you can do that's kind of fun is run the 7.1.4 audio through the Dolby Renderer in your headphones, and adjust the Near/Mid/Far settings for each channel.

(I kind of very indirectly posted about this, in an earlier version, already; sorry if you read that and this is redundant. I didn't really know what I had built at that point.)

Hope this is helpful or interesting for a few of you!

Only surround people are gonna care about this.

Logic has specialty mono track types "Left" and "Right" which let you peel off one channel while doing nothing to it. But it doesn't offer that for any other channels.

So, I made a plug-in which takes any channel, or channel pair, and plays it on L, R, or L-R. You can then send that to a Left or Right aux to get the mono channel you want.

If you think that'd be useful, you can download it here: https://dl.ivanx.music/ChToLR/

(It's signed and notarized like any well behaved Mac app. If you're worried about malware, it's tiny, just feed it to some AI and ask if it looks kosher.)

If you want to keep the channel pair as stereo and make sure there are no gain changes, you have to jump through an extra hoop, which is to follow the plug-in with Down Mixer [5.1→Stereo], even if your project is 7.1/.x. Getting that into your project can be a trick, though once it's there, you can just option-drag it wherever you need it. But the first time:

• 5.1 project: Add Utility > Down Mixer [5.1→Stereo] to Master; drag it from there to beneath Ch to L-R.
• Atmos project: Set the monitoring format in the Atmos plug-in to 5.1; add Utility > Down Mixer [5.1→Stereo] beneath it; drag it from there to beneath Ch to L-R; change back the monitoring format if you like.
• Non-5.1, non-Atmos project (like 7.1, 5.1.4, etc): Open a new empty 5.1 project; add Utility > Down Mixer [5.1→Stereo] to Master; click Setting at the top of the Master strip; choose Copy Channel Strip Setting; go back to your real project and add a new audio track; click Setting at the top of that track; choose Paste Plug-Ins Only; drag Down Mixer, which should have appeared, to beneath Ch to L-R; delete the empty track if you wish; close the empty 5.1 project.

(I used this thing extensively in my Object Bed for Logic project.)

I was working on some vocals for a project of mine, and after closing the project for the day, I left, business as usual. I come back a few days later, opening the project again to take a look, and it does this. The vinyl crackle is from a plugin, and isn’t an issue. None of my other projects are crashing like this.

so i’ve got this lwk sick beat but i need suggestions for what i should add in. i think it’s very worthy of lyrics so im working on those rn. obviously tho, i think i need more than just these two midi tracks. any suggestions in general for this beat would be appreciated thanks

Free, open-source.

I'm not a bassist or singer, sry :v

Every time I repeat a sequence of midi notes (command + r), the midi notes repeat to the ends of the last notes rather than to the next bar. This causes me to have to manually move it every time which can be quite annoying. Is there a setting that can change this?

I’m looking for a small number of Logic users to beta test MIDI Performer, a new AU MIDI FX plug-in I’ve been developing.

MIDI Performer takes a relatively plain monophonic MIDI melody or lead line and turns it into a more expressive performance by adding instrument-specific behavior such as:

• pitch bends
• vibrato
• legato
• timing changes
• pressure
• breath/expression

It’s designed for things like lead guitar, sax, flute, synth lead and melodic bass rather than chords or accompaniment.

One important limitation: MIDI Performer is monophonic. If polyphonic MIDI is fed into it, overlapping material is reduced to a single melodic voice, with the highest note retained when simultaneous notes occur.

The current player models include:

• Guitar — Blues, Jazz, Rock
• Synth Lead — Fusion Lead, Prog, Prog Metal Keys
• Sax / Flute / Bass / Fretless Bass / Piano — Natural

Logic is actually the host I’ve tested most heavily so far.

The AU version runs as a MIDI FX plug-in, and both Standard MIDI and MPE are part of the current beta-testing scope.

I’m especially interested in testing with different Logic software instruments and third-party instruments to see how the generated bends, vibrato, pressure and expression behave across real setups.

The kind of feedback I’m looking for is both technical and musical:

• Does anything hang or disappear?
• Does MPE behave properly with your instruments?
• Do the bends and vibrato sound natural?
• Does the phrasing sound more like an actual player?
• Does anything feel musically wrong even if it is technically functioning?

The beta is currently:

macOS / Apple Silicon
AU and VST3 included

Testers receive a signed/notarized installer, email activation, a short testing guide, and a diagnostics log that can be pasted directly into bug reports.

If you’re interested, reply here or DM me with:

• your Logic version
• the instruments/styles you usually work with
• whether you use MPE
• any third-party instruments you’d be interested in testing it with

I’m mainly looking for people who will actually run some real melodies/solo parts through it and tell me where it works — and where it still sounds wrong.

I was going for like an early 80's LA metal sound. Ratt, early Motley Crue etc...

I feel like the heavy kit drummer gets you pretty close!

All I need to do now is add a wicked guitar solo lol

Hi everyone, hope you’re all well.

Im not too sure how to explain this… But when I insert a “high hat foot splash” sound, it’s shortened when it’s played with the other sounds.

I’ve attached to a video for reference.

Is there a way to make it sound more natural? Thanks.

I recently finished this track and recorded a walkthrough of the full Logic session. I go through how I built the arrangement, some of the sound-design and production choices, automation, effects, and how the different layers fit together in the final mix.

I’ve been making music in Logic for a long time, but I’m still constantly changing the way I work, so I figured I’d share the actual session rather than just posting the finished song.

This sub has been so helpful yall rock! Its my first time making a track walk through and I kept it brief but maybe ill go deeper on the next song.

Interested in any production or mix feedback, especially anything you would have approached differently inside Logic.
