There’s no integrated way to chain commands together to be triggered by a single key press. That’s because 10.4 fixed 6/7 of my issues with key commands. Logic has no easy ways to adjust butted midi notes, selections of midi notes or any other major ways to adjust MIDI data. I still much prefer to be able to press a hotkey to select the inserted note length, or constrain inserted notes to snap. You can also hold option when inserting the note to drag-adjust the length. Logic uses the last selected note’s length as the inserted note’s length. The workaround is to select a note of the length you wish to insert, then insert a note. Logic uses the length of the previously inserted note when entering notes in the piano roll editor. Note entry snapĪs far as I can tell, there’s no way to easily select the length of the next inserted note. It’s just an unpleasant experience in general. If you use the pop-out editor command-4 then that’s not as much of an issue. Want to select some MIDI data to edit? Get ready to menu dive! Not only that, but since the integrated editor is at the bottom of the screen you will also need to scroll the menu manually. Turning on automation mode in the Arranger area also increases the vertical space every track uses, which can be annoying for larger projects. The issue is that the vertical resolution is somewhat limited and you lose a visual connection with the MIDI note data. If you work in the arrange view and set the track to region based automation then you can access multiple MIDI data lanes at once. Often there’s times where various controller data need to line up or be synchronized in some way, and having only a single lane makes it rather difficult. There’s a single controller lane in the MIDI editor. Piano Roll Editor Single MIDI controller lane A feature is needed to create new a new region when doing certain actions. If you make changes to a file, then all regions referencing that are changed.Ĭertain actions like ‘Remove DC Offset’, ‘Reverse’ and ‘Normalize’ are only available in the file editor, but you may not want to modify all regions referencing that file. There’s some functions that are only possible in the ‘File Editor’. Hopefully this is improved in the future.

That means that adjusting multitrack recordings to tempo is still the only manual method. Smart Tempo is awesome but currently it can only be applied in the audio editor, and not to multitrack parts. Most plugins are available as Audio Units though, so it’s not a big deal. There’s a VST to AU adapter and the even better Metaplugin that allow you to run VSTs in Logic, but it’d be nice if this was just integrated. This is a minor nitpick, but Logic only supports AU’s natively. You can’t do anything except target a tiny little GUI widget and browse a menu. You must click that up/down arrow shown next to Chromaverb above then click a menu item labeled ‘No Plug-in’ to remove a plugin. Maybe that’s a bit hyperbolic, but it sure feels like it sometimes. I think that I spend about 20% of my time mixing in Logic fumbling with that stupid little bar. Yes, I’m talking about that space below the FX. In order to add an FX when there’s an FX present you must click that tiny little bar. I’ve included a screenshot above with an arrow showing the tiny area. When adding plugins there’s a very tiny bar for you to select. Regardless of how it’s done, the way Logic does it is probably the worst. Another excellent option is the way that Studio One handles it where there’s an organized browser with screenshots.


Even though you can organize plugins pretty nicely, selecting those plugins requires visually parsing and navigating multi-tiered menus. Solo summing stacks doesn’t work ‘right’Īdding FX in Logic is an exercise in menu diving.Logic Instruments and MIDI Effects Review.Logic Pro X Tips & Tricks and more cool things.Oh right, and this is the last post in the series! My ultimate conclusion is at the end! If I missed something then that’s mea culpa, so please correct me. I wrote a good portion of this before 10.4, but I tried to make sure I erased anything that was improved with the update. I’ve split things in to categories as well so that you can see the portions that are of most interest to you. There won’t be too many images here, so be prepared for a bit of reading and not many eye-catching screenshots.
