Logic pro x lane inspector free
Track inspector: View and edit various track parameters, including transposition, velocity, and delay. All regions on the track are affected by the track parameters.
Inspector channel strips: The left channel strip is the channel strip for the selected track. The right channel strip shows the output for the left channel strip by default, but can also show an aux used by the left channel strip if one exists.
You can adjust the level, pan, sends, and inserts, change effects, and control audio routing for these channel strips without opening the Mixer. Inspectors for other working areas, such as the Event inspector, Display Parameters inspector, and Score inspector are described in their respective chapters. Sound Library Manager. If you don’t have enough space on your bot drive to install all those content, or like to have it on a separate drive anyway, then please check out my book “Logic Pro X – Tips, Tricks, Secrets 2” where I have a detailed explanation how to “outsource” all those sounds using Symbolic Links.
The extended editing features were only possible in the Audio Track Editor. Now you can use those features and perform the Flex edits directly on the Track Lane without opening the Audio Track Editor. Keep in mind that the Vertical Zoom Level determines what tools are available displayed :.
No Flex Pitch: Even if Flex is enabled on the Track , you won’t see any Flex controls if the vertical zoom level is to low. Only the standard Audio Region is displayed. Detailed Flex Pitch: If you increase the zoom level even further, the detailed controls for Flex Pitch appear , the same as the controls in the Audio Track Editor.
Names : The Region Name contains two names, the name of. When you moved or scrolled the Workspace and the beginning of the Comp Region were not visible, then you would see only the Comp Region Name, but not the Controls. There is a minor change in the Take Folder Popup Menu.
Maybe the “Delete Unused Takes” term was removed, because flattening automatically deletes all the Takes of a Comp used or unused. However, the Takes are just the “markings” on the individual Take Regions. The Take Regions themselves are not deleted when using the Flatten command.
Moving including deleting any Arrangement Marker will also move its connected content, which are the entire Regions or partial Regions that span between the left and right border of that Arrangement Marker. Changing the structure of your Song the Arrangement Marker without Arrangement Track Header moving the Regions underneath was not possible.
Now, LPX v Move the mouse over the Arrangement label in the Arrangement Track Header. The label reveals a double arrow when you click on it. The only item in that popup menu is “Suspend Content Connection”. You can click on the menu item to toggle the mode. If selected, the Arrangement label will display suspended next to it. In LPX However, the Solo Button on the Track Header didn’t show that red line.
Now in LPX v All those Regions edits are now performed as a group. However, if Flex Time is enabled on those Tracks to perform “grouped” Flex Edits on those Regions, then those Regions had to have the same start time. If their start time was just a few frames off, then you got an error message. New In LPX LPX v However, the number of Custom Icons was limited to Now in LPX When enabled, it turns the white Help Line yellow when it “encounters” a Region border on another Track.
This opens a Dialog window that lets you select the Note Values for the mapping and the algorithm. Hints: The algorithm will use “hints” to improve the results of the “Beats from Region” process. Any transients that are mapped manually to a bar or beat will be taken into account as “hints” when LPX performs the automatic Beat Mapping with “Beats from Region” process. Just map a few transients manually prior to the “Beats from Region” process to improve the results. If the results of the “Beats from Region” process is not perfect, then adding a few more hints manually mapped transients might help.
Manually mapping transients before or after a section of silents in the Audio File will also be taken into account as “hints”. It is now more accurate at a lower zoom level.
Issues with the waveform display when zooming out vertically have also been fixed Here are two screenshots of the same Audio Region displayed in LPX Unlike the Time Signature, which only lets you enter a value on the LCD if you don’t have Time Signature changes in your Project, you can change the Key Signature any time and it will be entered at the current Playhead Position.
Usually, apps display a small window with a progress bar that indicates the progress of an ongoing task. In Logic, that could be indexing Apple Loops, creating waveform overviews, or the download of additional sound content from Apple. Some of those tasks take priority, which means, you have to wait until they are completed before you can continue in Logic.
LPX The Progress Window didn’t show a real time progression and you had to wait until it was finished, which could take some time for bigger Apple Loops Libraries. Now, it indexes in the background without interruption except the Loop Browser. However, the progress bar still doesn’t give you a proper time indication. Creating Waveform Overview When you import audio files into your Project, Logic creates an overview of the waveform for those audio files to be displayed on the audio region.
A checkbox “Faster overview The new Popover Window shows the same information. In addition, you can cancel the process with the X-button , but the checkmarks on the left are just decoration and are not active click buttons. Downloading Library Sound Content Although the downloading of additional library content was a background task before, now the Popover Window provides more detailed information what is currently In addition you see all the individual packages lined up in a queue Idle , what is.
The Pause Button lets you interrupt the download then, continue or cancel , or you can cancel any. Now in version A Dialog Window popup up during the import giving you the option to “Import Tempo”.
It lets you quickly record your musical ideas on your iPhone wherever you are. Automatically synced to your iCloud account, when you are back in the studio or on your MacBook, you can quickly import those audio files into your Logic Project. File Format: The audio files are recorded in 24bit – You can rename the files in the Finder updated on your iPhone’s Music Memos app.
Import: Just drag the audio file into Logic Import Tempo: If this is a new Project without any Tempo changes in the Tempo Track, you will be prompted with a Dialog Window to choose if you want to import the the Tempo Map that is embedded int he audio file. The downbeat of the audio file automatically snaps to the closest bar. This command also import the Key Signature and Time Signature. When selected, it displays the Note Events with the applied transpose value.
Piano Roll View Menu. One minor detail: The triplet values in the Snap Menu are now displayed differently. In case you wondered, that menu has been removed in LPX v Now, when you long-click with the Quantize Tool on a Note Event in the Piano Roll, a popup menu displays all the Quantize values to select from. There is a special behavior when you drag the Time Handles past another that has changed: Piano Roll.
You can actually press or release the shift key while dragging to see the one or the other behavior before releasing the mouse.
The best is to play around a little to get the hang of it. You click on the Color field and select the color from the popup menu. In LPX v Once, you double-click on the number, it turns blue to indicate it has key focus , and you can enter a new numeric value.
You can select multiple group buttons, which are marked as blue , to display their symbols below. It will hide the very first Time Signature in your Score.
Also, the “Hide All” Time Signatures project setting now hides all time signatures as expected. Smooth Pinch Gesture to Zoom in-out of Score Window BTW, if you don’t use a trackpad yet to zoom in and out of the Score Editor or most the other windows , then you are missing out big time of one of the most important workflow enhancements I can think of in Logic.
Score Editor Window. Improved Behavior for Folder Regions in Link Modes This is a very specific improvement that you only can appreciate and understand if you have a good understanding of the Score Editor and the use of the Score Editor and Folder Regions. If the current Filter would result in an empty display, then the behavior is now different: When you zoom in, that center stays fixed, which means the left top and right bottom waveform zooming “out of site”, because you now see only the bottom of the left waveform and the top of the right waveform.
That means that the right bottom waveform gradually disappears , while you zooming in further into the left waveform. Zoom Slider Position in Order Here is a little change that is not really ground-breaking, but demonstrates the attention to detail or the “sense of order” shown by the German Logic team.
When you stop playback, the Playhead disappears and editing in the waveform Drag the Playhead Thumb the top of the Playhead in the Ruler to scrub the audio. The Prelisten Button on the Menu Bar turns green during scrubbing and the Cursor Tool will display a speaker icon on top of the Playhead. Auto-zoom in to the Full Waveform The following improvement was listed in the Release Notes, but I couldn’t make it to work on my setup The Audio File editor now zooms to use the full horizontal width of the screen when you double-click an audio region.
Velocity value , will set the value of all the selected. Events to that value. Here is an example with 5 selected Note Events. Play from that Event. The Cursor Tool changes to the Solo Tool when pressing down the option key to indicate this function. Drag All Selected Events to minimum and maximum Value There are different behaviors for changing the values of multiple selected Events in the Event List by dragging the numbers up or down.
Group Limit This is the default behavior. When you select multiple Events in the Event List, you click-drag on one value up or down and all the selected Events will change their value together proportionally. However, you can slide up or down the value only until one of the group of selected Events reaches its maximum or minimum value.
That’s why I call this “Group Limit”, because there is one max and min value for the entire group of selected Events.
Individual Limit You can use the option key to change the behavior to what I call an “Individual Limit”, which means, each Event in the group of selected Events can be pushed to the maximum or minimum value.
You have to follow the exact procedure with this modifier key: Select the Events first. Click-hold on one number in the Val filed. While keep on holding down the mouse and dragging up or down, press down the option key. Any value that reaches the minimum or maximum value remains there while you are still dragging the value of the one Event you clicked, until it reaches that limit too.
That means, the Events lose their proportional value and are set to the same min or max value. This is a quick way to set a group Events to the same value, for example, the same Velocity. However, here is an important little detail: You have to drag the smallest value in the group up to move all values to , or move the biggest value down to move all values to 1.
Clicking on the Lane Se Popup Menu opens , you guessed it, a popup menu. It contains all the commands related to the Lane Sets in the Step Editor. There is one new menu item “Automatic” on top of the menu. Logic will display the correct Lanes and updates them dynamically.
That means, if you add another Event Type, i. Main Inspector. This is now fixed in LPX Now, each window with a Catch Playhead Button can be changed to a different Catch Playhead mode individually.
Select or deselect the items by clicking on them. The individual Catch Playhead settings on a window are remembered with the Screensets. This way, you can switch between different Catch Playhead Modes on the same window by switching Screensets.
Preferences General Catch. Here are the modifier key that change the Cursor Tool:. Drag the Marker to move it. Double-click with that Tool opens the name field to change the Marker name. Attention: if you want to copy a Marker, then you have to click-hold on the Marker and then hold the option key before dragging. To better understand that, you have to be aware that a Marker can have two text components: Marker Name: This is the single-line text you entered when you name a Marker in the Marker Track or the Marker List.
This way you can enter additional text similar to a text editor. This additional text can be displayed if the Marker Track is increased vertically. Here is the change how the Marker Name is displayed on the Marker Track if the name is longer than the Marker depending on the horizontal zoom level : If the Marker has no additional text, then the Marker Name will be wrapped to the next line s , displaying it in full.
If the Marker has additional text, then the Marker Name the first line is truncated. Additional text will aways be wrapped to the next line if necessary. The Global Tempo Track has a ton of click actions.
Let me, as a bonus, list all those actions I’m sure there are a few more that I missed to refresh your memory:. Those dots that represent a single Tempo Event have different names depending who you ask or what book you read: For example, Tempo Points, Automation Points, or Nodes. I use Control Points. A Control Point always presents the segment of the Tempo Curve up to the next Control Point, therefore, a Control Point and its segment are always selected together. There are also hollow Control Points that let you change the shape of the Tempo Curve by dragging them around.
They create additional hidden Control Points that can be made visible in the Tempo List Window by clicking on the “Additional Info” button. An already selected Control Point will be deselected. Dragging over already selected Control Points will de-select those Control Points.
Click in the Track Lane not on a curve to deselect all Control Points. Be careful, if you click too close to the Tempo Curve, you will create a new Control Point. This will also let you move without a grid. Watch the Help Tag. Click on a Control Point with the Eraser Tool. This new “feature” is not as quite as earth-shattering, but it was mentioned in the Release Notes and I though I should point it out, to at least acknowledge the effort that someone was sitting down on the Logic team and implemented that for whatever reason.
The exception is the divider line on the lowest Global Track, which changes to the other Resize Tool and resizes all visible Global Tracks proportionally.
Menu Bar Controls Move to the Action Menu When you decrease the width of the Main Window and there will be not enough space for all the control on the Menu Bar, then some of the controls will be moved one by one as menu items to an Action Menu Button that appears on the Menu Bar. Main Window. The Tool Menu Button will also disappear if not enough space, but they will not appear in the Action Menu. I admit, that change is not that dramatic.
Note Pad. While the left Inspector Channel Strip displays the assigned Channel Strip of the currently selected Track, the right Channel Strip depends on what you clicked on on the left Channel Strip. Now you can select multiple Groups in the list to edit the settings for all those Groups together. A checkbox will show a hyphen to indicate that some of the selected Groups have this checkbox selected and some deselected. This opens the Color Palette where you click on a color to apply it to the currently selected Channel Strip s.
Make sure, no Region is selected a the time. Although this Shortcut Menu was also available in the Inspector Channel Strip, the command didn’t work. Now, in LPX Now, they have the same color as the corresponding buttons on the Channel Strip.
Three things I want to point out: The special green font on gray button means that Read Automation is enabled, but there is not Automation data no Control Points on that Track created yet.
This is the default status on a Track. The gray buttons indicate that Automation is disabled on that Track. The Trim-Write option doesn’t exist for apparent reasons. If you are still struggling with the Automation feature in Logic, please check out my manual “Logic Pro X – The Details” the only book that explains on over pages all the automation features in Logic. Record to all Subtracks of a Summing Stack A Summing Stack not only has advantages when you are mixing, it now has also a useful functionality for recording:.
If the Subtracks of a Summing Stack are Audio Tracks , then record-enabling the Main Track will automatically record-enable all the included Subtracks. Default Selection for unavailable Audio Device If the currently selected audio device isn’t available, Logic now uses one of the other three most recently used audio devices in order of last usage instead of defaulting to the built-in audio hardware. Like most of the settings on this page, it requires a deeper understanding on how digital audio is processed on a computer in general, and Logic in particular.
Here is a quick summary about the underlying technology to better understand what this new setting does:. Each Core can handle its own tasks i. Today’s computers have CPUs with usually 4 quad-core , 8, or 12 Cores. Hyper-thread: A technology called “Hyper-threading” developed by Intel lets a single Core perform two calculations streams of instructions simultaneously two Threads parallel.
This way, a 4core processor can function as a virtual 8-core, providing 8 individual Threads per clock cycle. Multithreading: Any app like Logic has to be programmed to take advantage of those multiple Threads to spread their workload across the individual Threads. There are numerous factors that influence how the OS or an app distributes the workload at any time, which makes it a bit difficult to predict exactly what gets processed on which Thread.
Custom Control Bar Display. Its popup menu displays the maximum number of Threads available on your computer. Most Apple computers use Hyper-threading, so the maximum number you see in this menu, divided by two, is the number of Cores available on your computer listed in your Hardware Settings.
The default setting in Logic is “Automatic” where Logic decides how many Threads it uses. Each vertical bar on the left represents one Thread indicating its activity the load. The number of bars reflects the setting in the Processing Threads menu. All the calculations needed to process the audio signal running through a single Channel Strip going through all the loaded Plugins on that Channel Strip has to be performed on one Thread and cannot be spread over multiple Threads. Of course, if you have more Channel Strips than Cores, then multiple Channel Strips are assigned to the available Threads, which one depends on how efficient Logic distributes the load.
Two Thread Distribution Modes Logic uses two different modes when it comes to distributing the audio processing on Channel Strips to the available Threads: Playback Mode This is the default mode where Logic tries to spread the load of each Channel Strip across the available Threads. If you have “too much going on” on a single Channel Strip too many CPU-intensive Plugins , then you might overload a single Thread error message!
Please note that this is not necessarily a Logic limitation and more of a technical challenge. A Plugin acts as one unit and its processing can’t be split up by the application to be processed on multiple threads. To do so, the Plugin itself has to be specially coded to divide its workload to multiple Threads maybe something for the future.
For now, all the Plugins on a single Channel Strip act as the main audio processing thread that has to be processed in series on a single Thread. Your only option for a “fully loaded Channel Strip” is to split the audio signal and load to an Aux Channel Strip, which, as a separate Channel Strip, can be handled by a separate Thread. In general, whenever an audio signal can be rendered in parallel, Logic will use multiple Threads.
Multiple Audio Channel Strips. Live Input Mode The Live Input Mode is some mysterious Logic “thing” that makes the already complex subject of Thread-distribution even more, let’s say, “interesting”.
However it is very important, especially when trying to understand the new “Multithreading” settings in LPX This takes about ms to engage. You might have noticed sometimes when playing your first note on your MIDI Keyboard that the newly selected Track has a little delay on that first note. This is the Live Input Mode kicking in. Live Input Mode will also be enabled on an Audio Channel Strip, not when it is selected, but when it is record-enabled.
The Live Input Mode has a major implication about the way how Logic distributes the signal processing across multiple Threads. Now all the Channel Strips that are part of the signal flow related to that selected Channel Strip are handled by a single Thread. This is done to ensure low latency during recording remember, you selected the Track, so Logic assumes that you want to record on it.
The major downside, as many Logic users will know, is the higher risk of a system overload message. Playback Mode.
Everything is well balanced, no problem. Here is what happens when I select the second Instrument Channel Strip. It switches that Channel Strip to Live Input Mode, which means, this Instrument Channel Strip , plus the Aux Channel Strip , plus the Output Channel Strip are all processed on a single Thread the last bar , which now reaches its maximum and might result in an overload message.
Tip: To avoid this situation and the negative “side effect” of Live Input Mode, never leave an Instrument Channel Strip selected if you don’t want to record on it. Now, after this extended introduction, and hopefully with a better understanding of threading, let’s look at that new “Multithreading” settings in LPX Live Input Mode can become a huge problem when using Summing Stacks. Let’s see what it means in the context of threading. If you use Instrument Channel Strips as the Subtracks, then you can use the Summing Stack to create layered synth sounds.
However, this has a bad side effect:. Now the entire Summing Stack is treated as one “signal flow” unit, which means, all the 5 involved Channel Strips are processed by a single Thread. This is the behavior when “Playback Tracks” is selected in the new Multithreading setting the default behavior in LPX Load Meter: The Threads are again nicely load-balanced.
In addition to moving the Plugin Window by dragging the window header , you can now also drag the lower edge of the window. Channel EQ Plugin. The EQ Thumbnail is grayed out when the Plugin is bypassed. Click on the active EQ Thumbnail Plugin. In this window, you can select the labeling of the three types of busses. You use the radio buttons in this window to determine if you want to use the default name.
Channel column , the name provided by the Driver , or your own User name. You can even enter a Long Name and a Short Name. That means, those names are used in various places instead of the generic label “Bus 1”. Please pay attention to the double button in the upperright corner of the Mixer Window. This has an effect on the displayed labels.
If the Long Name is too long, then Logic will truncate the name,leaving out some characters. It always displays the Long Name , or the name of the Channel Strip that functions as the send destination. Be careful,. Moving the Mouse Cursor over a Plugin Slot blue button will pop up a Tooltips window displaying the name of the Plugin the original name, not the custom name followed by the name of the loaded Plugin Settings if one is loaded.
This is the same name displayed in the Plugin Settings popup menu of the Plugin Window. Each one has its own strength suited for specific mix techniques. The Ad-hoc Group feature is the fastest one. You select multiple Channel Strips by clicking on them or dragging across , and whatever change you make on one of the selected Channel Strips will apply to all selected Channel Strips.
Controls View : All the controls of a Plugin are displayed on a black window as a long list of controls slider, buttons, menus without any graphical elements. Editor View default : All the controls of Plugin are displayed with a more or less elaborate GUI graphical user interface. The View popup menu on the right side of the Plugin Header lets you select the view. This is due to the time the Plugin needs to process the audio signal. Logic can compensate for that Latency during playback by slightly delaying all the signals on your mixer accordingly so they play in sync.
An Impulse Response IR is a small audio file impulse recorded in an acoustic environment, i. A so-called “convolution reverb” like Logic’s Space Designer Plugin can load such an Impulse Response and make any audio signal that you send to the Plugin sound like it is played in that acoustic environment that the specific IR represents was recorded in.
Click on the tiny triangle to open a popup menu and select “Open IR Utility”. Logic has updated the Impulse Response Utility from 1. The functionality is the same. Read up on the User Guide to learn how to use the app. Here are just a few: 11 New Spectral Effects. The label “Sustain” in the Sequencer section has been renamed to “Gate”.
Alchemy now uses less CPU processing for each instance. You can drag Apple Loops into Alchemy and they automatically conform to the current tempo. When you import an Apple Loop into an Alchemy source, settings are automatically configured so the loop can be triggered from any key and play at the current project tempo. The accuracy of the Detect Tempo options has been significantly improved, especially with long audio files Alchemy now supports MIDI mono mode.
Alchemy now automatically adjusts the gain when morphing formants. Selecting a filer type in Alchemy now automatically enables the filter. In Alchemy, the Num-Osc control in Additive synthesis mode has been renamed to Partials to more accurately represent its function.
Drum Machine Designer Supports drag-and-drop of Multiple Audio Files One way to add an audio sample to the cell of the Drum Machine Designer is to select the cell, open the Library Browser and double-click on an audio sample.
Another way is to drag an audio file directly from the Finder onto a cell. But this had a limitation in LPX When you select multiple audio files in the Finder and drag them onto a cell in the Drum Machine Designer, it looks like you are adding all those files. However, only the first audio file is added to the one cell you are dragging over. The samples are placed starting on the cell you are placing the cursor, moving to the right and then to the next upper row, and then to the second page.
Cells with existing audio files are overwritten with the new ones. An Alert Window “Not all samples assigned” pops up if you drag more audio files than there are cells available.
This is great if you don’t want to mess with the sounds and configuration. However, if you want to tweak a DMD Patch, load your own sounds, or start from scratch, you had to edit an existing Patch. Now, LPX This is the currently selected Region in the Tracks Window.
It functions similar to the Catch Playhead Catch Content. See the separate chapter Plugin Makeover for details. Double-click on the field, enter the name, and hit return. Plug-In Manager Window. Now you can arrange them freely by dragging the folders up or down.
A blue insertion line indicates the new position after releasing the mouse. When you position the Pointer Tool just below the last Category Folder, a blue insertion line appears When you release the mouse, a new Category Folder is created with the name “Untitled” that includes all the Plugins that you just dragged over.
At that moment, the new Category Folder is still highlighted key focus , so you can enter a name for it right away. Now you can drag that new folder to any position in the Category section. It lists the Start time and the End time along your Project’s timeline. The selection is based on Logic’s priority for the bounce selection active Cycle, selected Regions, or entire Project.
So far, the field always displayed the Musical Time in bars:beats. Now in Remember: You can adjust the Start and End value in those fields before hitting OK to initiate the bounce. Now you can: Bounce multiple selected Tracks. Bounce a Summing Stack to bounce the entire stack to a new Track.
You can’t select the option “Destination: Replace Track”. Bounce any combination of the two. Project Browser vs. Attention Please note that using the “Limit Export to Cycle Range” has a potential bug regarding the timestamp.
When Logic creates a new audio file recording, bouncing, export , it adds various Metadata data about data to that file. One of those Metadata is a so-called timestamp, information when the recording of that Audio File started in your Project i. When you import that audio file later into another Project, you can use Logic’s “Move to Original Recording Position” to place it at the exact time position where it was recorded. Of course, you can also use that command after you moved a Region around or when importing the file to another DAW like Pro Tools.
When using the new “Limit Export to Cycle Range” feature, Logic uses the time position of the Project Start as the timestamp and not the time position of the left locator of the Cycle Range as you would expect. During the download, the grayed out files and category folders will display a circular progress indicator.
Click on the Progress Bar to open a Popover Window listing the individual tasks. This functions as a Task Manager. When a content download is in progress, the Popover displays the following information. Progress Bar Name of the download Size of the file Size of the download so far Remaining time to completion, idle waiting in line , or stopped paused download : You can pause any download process, in case you currently need the Pause Button bandwidth for something else. Once the download is completed, you will be prompted with an additional Dialog to enter your Username and Password.
Please not that the download process is only step one, where the downloaded installer file is store on your drive. Once completed, the actual installation process starts step two , which requires authentication if the installer file stores individual sound files inside your System Library. This was not a problem if you look at one Channel Strip, but if multiple Channel Strips were placed next to each other as usual , then you could end up with an un-readable mess.
Any text that is longer will be truncated and indicated by an ellipses This provides a much better view when looking at multiple Channel Strips with longer Channel Strip Names.
The manually created Devices in the AMS will not be displayed, only the actually Devices and their ports that are connected to the computer. Even the Session Names for the Network Device are now displayed properly. A few quick notes:. I didn’t have time to fully test that yet. The iPhone version of Logic Remote provides a simplified version.
In portrait mode , you have two Channel Strips with a few controls, and turning it to landscape mode switches to the Key Commands View. Control Surface Setup Window. Hopefully, that will improve based on the following note in the official Release Notes: “Logic now connects reliably to Logic Remote in cases where your computer has two IP addresses on the same network such as when it’s connected to both Wi-Fi and Ethernet “. Apple Remote is a little remote control that came with the old AppleTV.
This pops up a Tool Menu at the cursor position. It has Key Equivalents assigned to each Tool that. However, the key assignment was always strict sequential, resulting in different key assignments for the same Tool in different Floating Tool Menus.
Most of them use the first letter of the actual Tool. This makes it much easier to remember Pencil, Glue, Solo, Eraser, etc. The Concept of Tools and Tool Menus The implementation of the various Cursor Tools in Logic can be a little bit confusing with all the different ways how to switch to a specific Tool, manually or automatically.
The new “Tool Latch Mode” in To help better understand those concepts, I like to review that topic as a little bonus in this manual.

But how do you choose the best DAW for your needs? And what about Logic vs. Garageband on the Mac? Rest easy. Pro Tools battle to see which app is the best overall. Audio production and the Mac go hand-in-hand.
Around the world, recording studios ranging from basement projects, all the way to multimillion-dollar facilities often have a Mac running the show.
Confusingly, there are over a dozen major software packages referred to as DAWs available for purchase for the Mac. A DAW usually features a recording of multiple tracks of instruments and synchronizes both physical and software instruments.
Musicians use a DAW to record either a demo version of a song, or compose the final version of a track that will be heard on the albums, radio stations, and streaming services. DAWs are also used in the film and television industry when actors need to redub lines of dialog, as well as when mixing sound effects and music.
Composers also use a DAW to record scores specifically tailored to a film project, ensuring that music cues are in sync with the action on screen. Logic Pro is a full-featured recording studio that comes bundled with virtual instruments such as a grand piano, effects such as a guitar amplifier, and more.
The software also contains a vast library of pre-recorded music loops that can be used freely to start compositions. Garageband is a stripped-down and consumer-friendly version of Logic. The development of Logic Pro is a rich history that is thirty years in the making.
Pro Tools is also a digital audio workstation. Side-by-side Pro Tools is equipped with a comparable feature set as Logic Pro. Pro Tools has become as synonymous with music production as Adobe has with image editing. Pro Tools is often found in the largest recording facilities and, more importantly, facilities that require dedicated assistants to keep sessions running.
Meaning that you could record a guitar riff or start a beat in Garageband and then promote the work into Logic Pro for further refinement. However, Logic Pro projects cannot be sent backward to Garageband.
You expand this menu at the bottom of the New Project menu. When you do, it gives you a multitude of choices all before ever launching the project. Once expanded you have the option of setting Logic’s tempo by hand, or with a new tap tempo for setting the BPM on the fly.
This is great while practicing with other players especially if you’ll be the virtual drummer. You can also set the Key, Signature, choose your audio inputs and outputs, the project’s sample rate, frame rate, and even the surround format. Who’d have thought there was room to improve the Color Palette!? Even though you can no longer choose custom colors, Apple has made it considerably smarter.
Very often you’ll have different colored regions on a track after picking various shades from Logic’s Color Palette. In Logic 9 if you wanted to select the same shade, it was either a test of your ability to distinguish subtle color variances, or you simply remembered where the color was on the palette!
In Logic Pro X, when you click a track with various colored regions with the the Color Palette open it shows you all the region colors used on the specific track with a white highlight. You can also click any region, or shift click regions on other tracks to display the colors. No more guess work! For nearly 4 years I’ve been waiting for this feature! Audio Take folders in Logic Pro X can finally snap to the beat.
In Logic 9, lot’s of dance artists pack take folders full of audio loops, then Quick-Swipe across them to grab element chucks from the different loops for a stop-chopped electro house technique. I have an article I wrote for macProVideo on doing this very thing.
You had to watch the time bar ruler at the top of the arrange window to make sure your swipes were at least close to snapped position. This literally snaps your swipes to beat!

This company Refuse Software makes a free utility called ” Note2Frequncy. Extracting a single drum sound for separate processing can be a quick and easy task. Metering Correlation Meter Modulation Chorus Reverb EnVerb Utility Audio FX Plugin Gain Utility Instrument Plugin Klopfgeist The Logic team did an outstanding job with adding all those new features and improvements that might seem just like minor tweaks, but they will definitely have a big impact on your workflow, no matter what type of music you are producing with Logic.
Official Release Notes For a comprehensive list of all the new stuff, you can access the official Release Notes directly from inside Logic by selecting the Main Menu Help Release Notes, which opens your web browser displaying the list on Apple’s website. Why this Book? So why did I write this book when all the new features and improvements are listed in the official Release Notes.
Graphically Enhanced The Release Notes only provide a short description of the new features or the changes. In this book, I provide a more in-depth explanation with lots of graphics, screenshots and diagrams, and sometimes additional in-depth discussions of the topic to better understand the changes. You will have a “clear picture” of the changes right away and can start using it immediately. Hidden Features The Release Notes often forget to list a few features, so whatever additional changes I stumbled over or found online what other users discoverd on the various Logic forums, I will also list it here.
Free I make the pdf and iBooks version of this book available for free – not only as a way to boost my Karma, but also to give back to the Logic community who supported me so far by purchasing my other Logic books. As I mentioned at the beginning, my motto is:.
Other manuals original User Guides or third party books often provide just a quick way to: “press here and then click there, then that will happen This will go on for the next couple hundred pages and all youll do is memorize lots of steps without understanding the reason for doing them in the first place. Even more problematic is that you are stuck when you try to perform a procedure and the promised outcome doesn’t happen.
You will have no understanding why it didn’t happen and, most importantly, what to do in order to make it happen. Don’t get me wrong, Ill also explain all the necessary procedures, but beyond that, the understanding of the underlying concept so youll know the reason why you have to click here or there.
Teaching you “why” develops a much deeper understanding of the application that later enables you to react to “unexpected” situations based on your knowledge. In the end, you will master the application.
And how do I provide that understanding? The key element is the visual approach, presenting easy to understand diagrams that describe an underlying concept better than five pages of descriptions. Here is a summary of the advantages of my Graphically Enhanced Manuals that set them apart from other books:. Graphics, Graphics, Graphics Every feature and concept is explained with rich graphics and illustrations that are not found in any other book or User Guide.
These are not just a few screenshots with arrows in it. I take the time to create unique diagrams to illustrate the concepts and workflows. Knowledge and Understanding The purpose of my manuals is to provide the reader with the knowledge and understanding of an app that is much more valuable than just listing and explaining a set of features. Comprehensive For any given feature, I list every available command so you can decide which one to use in your workflow.
Some of the information is not even found in the app’s User Guide. For Beginners and Advanced Users The graphical approach makes my manuals easy to understand for beginners, but still, the wealth of information and details provide plenty of material, even for the most advanced user.
Three formats No other manual is available in all three formats: PDF from my website , interactive multi-touch iBooks on Apple’s iBooks Store , and printed book on Amazon. Interactive iBooks No other manual is available in the enhanced iBooks format.
I include an extensive glossary, also with additional graphics. Every term throughout the content of the iBook is linked to the glossary term that lets you popup a little window with the explanations without leaving the page you are currently reading.
Every term lists all the entries in the book where it is used and links to other related terms. Up-to-date No other manual stays up to date with the current version of the app. Due to the rapid update cycles of applications nowadays, most books by major publishers are already outdated by the time they are released.
I constantly update my books to stay current with the latest version of an app. Free Updates pdf, iBook only No other manual provides free updates, I do. Whenever I update a book, I email a free download link of the pdf file to current customers. They are print-on-demand books, which means, whenever you order a book on Amazon, you get the most recent version and not an outdated one that was sitting in a publisher’s warehouse. Self-published As a self-published author, I can release my books without any restrictions imposed by a publisher.
Rich, fullcolor graphics and interactive books are usually too expensive to produce for such a limited audience. However, I have read mountains of manuals throughout the 35 years of my professional career as a musician, composer, sound engineer, and teacher, and I am developing these Graphically Enhanced Manuals GEM based on that experience, the way I think a manual should be written. This is, as you can imagine, very time consuming and requires a lot of dedication.
However, not having a big publisher also means not having a big advertising budget and the connections to get my books in the available channels of libraries, book stores, and schools. Instead, as a self-published author, I rely on reviews, blogs, referrals, and word of mouth to continue this series. If you like my “Graphically Enhanced Manuals”, you can help me promote these books by referring them to others and maybe taking a minute to write a review on Amazon or the iBooks Store.
Thanks, I appreciate it:. Disclaimer: As a non-native English speaker, I try my best to write my manuals with proper grammar and spelling. However, not having a major publisher also means that I don’t have a big staff of editors and proofreaders at my disposal. The link “Blog” contains all the free Logic Articles that I have published on the web and continue to publish. These are in-depth tutorials that use the same concept of rich graphics to cover specific topics related to the use of Logic.
Lots of them are listed in the official Release Notes, but I’m sure there are much more. Some of them are “high profile” bugs that users were eagerly waiting to get fixed. For example:. I cover in this book mainly the new features and changes and only mention a few bug fixes. If you want to find out if your “favorite” bug is fixed, just try it in LPX Responsiveness The Release Notes contain many items that refer to the various places in Logic that are much more responsive and faster.
Her are just a few: Logic takes less time to analyze tracks with a large number of regions when Flex is enabled. More responsive when rubber-band selecting large numbers of notes in the Piano Roll More responsive using the Pencil to draw in a series of notes in the Step Editor More responsive zooming in projects that contain a large amount of automation More responsive drag-copying or moving automation at high zoom levels More responsive rearranging the order of tracks in the track header in projects that contain a large amount of automation More responsive using a EuCon control surface with projects that contain a large number of tracks More responsive horizontally dragging automation points in projects that contain a large amount of automation More responsive scrolling in the Main window with a large number of tracks, regions, or automation More responsive redoing a Comp selection after undoing it More responsive renaming a channel strip while Logic is playing.
The audio format allows file sizes to exceed 4GB and allows for up to 18 audio channels. However, in this new LPX So we will see if more information comes out later or if some Logic users will find out more about it at some point. As soon as a supported Device is connect, Logic detects it and automatically generates controller assignment.
This new support has something to do with the following note from the Logic Release Notes: “You can now use Smart controls to automatically configure how Logic interacts with various MIDI controllers and keyboards”.
Those sounds aren’t downloaded with the app. You have to install them separately: Once you open the new Logic In addition to any sounds that you haven’t downloaded yet previously, you will see new genres in the Apple Loops category. Sound Library Manager. If you don’t have enough space on your bot drive to install all those content, or like to have it on a separate drive anyway, then please check out my book “Logic Pro X – Tips, Tricks, Secrets 2” where I have a detailed explanation how to “outsource” all those sounds using Symbolic Links.
The extended editing features were only possible in the Audio Track Editor. Now you can use those features and perform the Flex edits directly on the Track Lane without opening the Audio Track Editor. Keep in mind that the Vertical Zoom Level determines what tools are available displayed :. No Flex Pitch: Even if Flex is enabled on the Track , you won’t see any Flex controls if the vertical zoom level is to low.
Only the standard Audio Region is displayed. Detailed Flex Pitch: If you increase the zoom level even further, the detailed controls for Flex Pitch appear , the same as the controls in the Audio Track Editor. Names : The Region Name contains two names, the name of. When you moved or scrolled the Workspace and the beginning of the Comp Region were not visible, then you would see only the Comp Region Name, but not the Controls. There is a minor change in the Take Folder Popup Menu. Maybe the “Delete Unused Takes” term was removed, because flattening automatically deletes all the Takes of a Comp used or unused.
However, the Takes are just the “markings” on the individual Take Regions. The Take Regions themselves are not deleted when using the Flatten command. Moving including deleting any Arrangement Marker will also move its connected content, which are the entire Regions or partial Regions that span between the left and right border of that Arrangement Marker. Changing the structure of your Song the Arrangement Marker without Arrangement Track Header moving the Regions underneath was not possible.
Now, LPX v Move the mouse over the Arrangement label in the Arrangement Track Header. The label reveals a double arrow when you click on it.
The only item in that popup menu is “Suspend Content Connection”. You can click on the menu item to toggle the mode.
If selected, the Arrangement label will display suspended next to it. In LPX However, the Solo Button on the Track Header didn’t show that red line. Now in LPX v All those Regions edits are now performed as a group. However, if Flex Time is enabled on those Tracks to perform “grouped” Flex Edits on those Regions, then those Regions had to have the same start time. If their start time was just a few frames off, then you got an error message.
New In LPX LPX v However, the number of Custom Icons was limited to Now in LPX When enabled, it turns the white Help Line yellow when it “encounters” a Region border on another Track. This opens a Dialog window that lets you select the Note Values for the mapping and the algorithm. Hints: The algorithm will use “hints” to improve the results of the “Beats from Region” process. Any transients that are mapped manually to a bar or beat will be taken into account as “hints” when LPX performs the automatic Beat Mapping with “Beats from Region” process.
Just map a few transients manually prior to the “Beats from Region” process to improve the results. If the results of the “Beats from Region” process is not perfect, then adding a few more hints manually mapped transients might help.
Manually mapping transients before or after a section of silents in the Audio File will also be taken into account as “hints”. It is now more accurate at a lower zoom level.
Issues with the waveform display when zooming out vertically have also been fixed Here are two screenshots of the same Audio Region displayed in LPX Unlike the Time Signature, which only lets you enter a value on the LCD if you don’t have Time Signature changes in your Project, you can change the Key Signature any time and it will be entered at the current Playhead Position.
Usually, apps display a small window with a progress bar that indicates the progress of an ongoing task. In Logic, that could be indexing Apple Loops, creating waveform overviews, or the download of additional sound content from Apple. Some of those tasks take priority, which means, you have to wait until they are completed before you can continue in Logic.
LPX The Progress Window didn’t show a real time progression and you had to wait until it was finished, which could take some time for bigger Apple Loops Libraries. Now, it indexes in the background without interruption except the Loop Browser.
However, the progress bar still doesn’t give you a proper time indication. Creating Waveform Overview When you import audio files into your Project, Logic creates an overview of the waveform for those audio files to be displayed on the audio region. A checkbox “Faster overview The new Popover Window shows the same information.
In addition, you can cancel the process with the X-button , but the checkmarks on the left are just decoration and are not active click buttons. Downloading Library Sound Content Although the downloading of additional library content was a background task before, now the Popover Window provides more detailed information what is currently In addition you see all the individual packages lined up in a queue Idle , what is.
The Pause Button lets you interrupt the download then, continue or cancel , or you can cancel any. Please keep in mind that instructors have up to two 2 weeks to submit final grades after the term concludes.
Diplomas are mailed to the address you include on your graduation application. If your mailing address changes after you have submitted your graduation application, be sure to update us at graduation online.
Keep in mind that if you are walking in Commencement, you will not receive your official diploma at the ceremony. Can I find out how many transfer credits I am eligible for before I apply to the degree program?
If you are interested in applying to the Bachelor of Arts degree program and would like an estimate of the amount of transfer credit you would receive, you can request an unofficial transfer evaluation by emailing a copy of your transcript s to the Berklee Online Transfer Team at transfer online.
Be sure to include your name, major of interest, and any additional questions you may have. You can expect to receive your assessment within business days. What should I do? The earlier you contact us with questions or concerns regarding your evaluation, the easier it will be for us to address any issues. Therefore, it is very important when you first receive your official transfer evaluation that you review the information carefully.
If none of those exclusions apply, please fill out a Transfer Credit Equivalency Re-evaluation form for the courses you wish to have reconsidered. Sometimes, we are not able to locate specific information for a course online and we are not able to determine an equivalency, but we are always happy to review additional material which will help us make that determination.
No, credits completed at Berklee or through the prior learning process do not count towards the 60 transfer credit limit. This maximum is for credit-bearing exams and undergraduate-level coursework completed externally. What is a credit deficiency and why do I need to make up credit? Credit deficiencies are caused by transferring a course that is less than three 3 credits to fulfill a three 3 credit Berklee Online requirement.
Students with a credit deficiency will be short of the minimum number of credits required to graduate once they have completed their program requirements.
In order to be eligible to graduate, you will need to make up the credits you are deficient in. While the Transfer Team does their best to avoid giving students credit deficiencies, it is not always possible.
You can make up the credits you are deficient in by completing additional Berklee Online coursework, by applying for prior learning credit, or by completing additional external coursework in the area in which you are deficient.
Note all external courses will first need to be approved by the Transfer Team. It depends. Generally, transfer credit cannot be used to fulfill prerequisites unless we determine that the course you completed is a direct equivalent to one of the courses we offer at Berklee Online. Keep in mind that there are some courses which require you to pass a placement exam. For these you will need to achieve a passing grade on the test to fulfill the prerequisite, otherwise you will need to complete the appropriate Berklee Online course.
Can I transfer credits to Berklee Online after I have started the degree program? Yes, you can. To determine if the coursework you already completed or are considering taking is eligible to fulfill your remaining degree requirements, contact the Transfer Team at transfer online. You could create a Lane Set that contains individual lanes for each note pitch in the region.
Drag each note event step vertically to adjust its level. This option lets you draw note events steps for drum parts, and is similar to the use of pattern-based drum machines, where each beat is manually entered on a grid. You can use this Lane Set for any instrument type. You can switch the Step Editor display to show particular event types by loading an existing Lane Set.
