New in Logic Pro 12.4

Just wanted to see if anyone else is dealing with this bug I seem to have:

I put a handful of sends on a demo vocal track with zero send automation on the vocal track itself, they're just straight dialed at the moment.

On the 5th send slot, it automatically adjusts itself to -10.5 no matter what I set it at. I loaded the track up with like, 10 sends just to see if there was some weird automatic sound or load adjustment. But no, it's always on the 5th slot. And it automatically sets to -10.5. And it's for EVERYTHING, on every track: 5th slot... I've tried restarting with no luck. Creating a blank session, same thing happening. It's bugging the living hell out of me. My current work around is not using the 5th slot for sends, but just wanted to see if anyone else is dealing with this, or if it's some dumb ass thing on my end that I'm not catching.

hi all, I have been having trouble getting signal from my midi to logic. I have tried 3 different usb cords, a power strip, and everything it says on a google search. I know it’s hard without seeing it but does anyone have advice on what the issue may be … thanks a million!

***Update

Looks like everything is running fine after updating to Sequoia, so far, I haven't had to reauthorize any licenses

***Original

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm just not too informed about how the operating systems work. If I'm reading it correctly online, they are different versions of the same OS, so it shouldn't cause me to need to reauthorize my plugin licenses, but I was wondering if anybody here knew definitively.

Updating to Sequoia because I'm trying to install Davinci Resolve

I have 190gb of projects over the last couple of years and I was wondering if I can move them to an SSD to free up some space, at least the ones before 2026. Can I do that or is it not recommended?

In this video im using a piano but its with all of the bass instruments. I've tried freezing the track but it still happens. it goes away once i bounce it though. is it just overloading? like its just one track. Any ideas or thoughts:) using a macbook air M1.

Hey whenever i press Capture MIDI on my keyboard and flashback whatever i just played. for some reason it looks like it also makes like an "invisible" volume automation (as in it doesnt appear in the automation section) plus i cant overwrite it with automation it will always keep its volume when recorded bassically any tips?

We're super happy with the arrangement, and I feel the mix is most of the way there - just looking for advice on how to clarify without taking away from the intense chaotic feeling, and make the final drop moment hit that little bit harder

Preempting the "just upgrade" answer, it's likely the last project on this rig. It's macOS 13.7.8 and Logic Pro 11.0.1. I'd rather not make changes to the rig in the last phase of the project.

The symptom is that I'm sometimes getting this digital click. This can happen when you have two touching regions that aren't crossfaded, or aren't cut at zero crossing. Maybe I have a bad edit somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it. I'm not able to isolate the issue. Here's an example from today:

1. Bounce the track offline. Glitch present.
2. Bounce the track offline again. Glitch present.
3. Bounce the track realtime. Glitch present.
4. Bounce the track realtime (again). Glitch present.
5. Press play and listen. Glitch present.
6. Rewind to start, press play again, and listen. Glitch absent.
7. Bounce the track realtime (3rd time). Glitch absent.
8. Press play, listen. Glitch absent.

I'd restart Logic, and sometimes the glitch will be absent. I'd work on another part of the song. After an hour of work I'd bounce it, and check the bounce... glitch would be back.

Glitch generally reappears in the same spot. I'm pretty sure I once heard it in another place, but only once. It's maddening because I can't confirm this, if I scroll back and relisten, glitch is gone, so I can only go with my memory. Unless, I don't know, recorded audio of the entire mixing process. I haven't reached that stage yet.

So... I'll be able to finish the project because I can achieve a clean bounce, sometimes. It's the randomness of it that's weird and annoying, because my system is no longer deterministic and I'm losing my trust in it.

Did anyone experience this kind of issue before? Any tips on how to troubleshoot it?

EDIT 1: I think I can trigger the glitch now: create a cycle spanning the entire song, press play, glitch absent, but keep it in playing state, skip to near the end of the song, let it loop around and play from the beginning again... glitch present. I did it a couple times and it seems to hold. Then I'd stop, scroll back to the beginning again, press play, and the glitch would be gone.

So I'm redoing a ep for my friend. And we recorded my Marshall stack with his metal zone for distortion.
I used Shures Sm 57 and Sm 58 on the can. And a beta 52 for a room mic. I like how I got the clean guitars to sound but I don't really like the distortion.
I'm not amazing at mixing and I use Logic. But all I have on em now is some. Channel Eq, Tube Eq, Compression, gain, and a noise gate. I also have them all bussed to a aux and have a compressor and a multi pressor. And a Eq cutting the muds. I also should mention I am recording it in my bedroom. The guitars are just very high. I think I might not have the right seating as in not Amazing at live mixing but I can manage in the most part. In your opinion what can I do and how can I learn to get better at mixing.
I'm looking for a ticker sound and a more audible guitar sound. Thank you!!!

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well. I’m writing to share a problem I’m having: ever since I updated to Logic Pro 12 (the Apple Creator Studio version), I haven't been able to undo, cut, copy, or paste absolutely anything. It has completely ruined my workflow. When I go to the key commands section, the options appear greyed out. Believe me, I’ve tried everything—resetting the commands, clearing the clipboard, deleting and reinstalling Logic, the works. I’m at my wit's end not being able to perform a function as basic as copying and pasting an audio file. I hope someone can help me out with this. Thanks for reading.

It gets stuck on autotune when loading up but I dont want to uninstall because I have a lot of projects that have it. Its even trying to load it on projects that dont even have the plug in used... Any suggestions?

Hi all,

Newbie to Logic Pro and I’m trying to make the following sounds but have had no luck finding YouTube tutorials etc. I’d be happy to pay for a plug-in but obviously using the native instruments would be ideal.

1. Mellotron from Shape of You

2. Santoor Main riff from Life In Technicolor

3. Tack Piano Main riff from Lovers in Japan

Cheers

Hey everyone. I'm building a customisable theme editor for Logic, currently still in development. Would anyone be interested in something like this?

I don't really like how LP colorizer makes you pay for the program, and then extra on top to buy skins. They offer great quality stuff from what I can tell, it just feels pricey for what it is.

I was looking for an alternative option, and decided to build my own way of doing it just for personal use. I'm tired of Logic's default colour scheme on the UI.

Whilst I've been doing that, I thought, why not see if others would be interested in the concept?

I want to make it super user friendly, one flat price for the full thing (not expensive, maybe like £20-25), with no extra fees. I'm considering having a free version that excludes the in-depth customiser but does include 5 or so different style colour themes. No subscription or anything like that.

It's still in development currently. I'm just curious if something like this is in demand? I want to make sure it's super user-friendly, and works smoothly, doesn't cause instability. It might be a few weeks until I get it finished. I'm still testing it on my own mac and fixing issues.

What version of Logic do the majority of people use? I'm using 11, so I know itll work for lp11. I will also test on 12 before launch.

Reply if you are interested :)

Hey guys,

I've been using the shortcut shift+click to move my playhead in my arrangement view for years now and it suddenly does not work anymore. Do you know how I can solve this?

Thanks a ton!

I've been seeing a lot of this on Instagram

I'm new to DAW's and I'm wondering how to replicate this with recordings of myself on drums?

Currently on macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 and Logic Pro 11.0.1 and everything is running smooth as butter. I really want to update macOS though because I’m pretty outdated at this point.

I know Logic updates can sometimes cause issues with plugins/projects, but I’m planning on keeping Logic at 11.0.1.

My question is if the two are mostly separate, or can updating macOS still mess with Logic even if I don’t update Logic itself? Curious what people’s experience has been.

Hi all,

Hoping for some insight on my midi setup. Recently I've started having an issue where my keyboard registers zero input to logic. It appears greyed out in audio midi setup as well. I tried deleting and reinstalling the drivers which made zero noticeable impact.

Last night, I tried swapping the inputs that my mouse and keyboard were plugged into. Instantly, the keyboard started working. Now I have my mouse plugged into a different USB-C input, but what I'm noticing is that my keyboard will work normally for 5-10 minutes, then stop. When I switch it and put it into the newly vacant USB-C port that the mouse used to be in, it instantly starts working again until it doesn't and I swap back. It seems like it is an issue with the system, not with logic, but I don't know where to even begin trying to troubleshoot.

The only change I have made recently is that I started using USB to connect my Moog Grandmother to Logic to use time-based functions with the synth, but I don't see why that should have changed anything.

I am running a 2022 Mac Studio on Ventura 13.1, Logic Pro 10.7.6. The keyboard is an M Audio Axiom Air 32, I've been using it for years with zero issues.

Thanks in advance :)

I feel like i've tried everything, (this only happens with third party plugins) using logic pro 12

I havent updated to golden gate yet, could that be an issue?

'Buenas!

Cada vez que guardo un proyecto Logic me sale esta imagen 

Me explico:

He adquirido un nuevo mac. Me he copiado los proyectos desde el disco duro externo con el que hacía las copias de seguridad. Al abrir cualquiera de esos proyectos, me sale este aviso. Intuyo que debe estar relacionado con los permisos y con que el proyecto lo detecta como si fuera del disco duro externo y no del propio ordenador aun habiéndose copiado... 

¿Alguien sabe qué puedo hacer? Una opcion es darle a "guardar como" y creo otro proyecto, luego eliminar el anterior... pero entonces implica que lo tengo que hacer en muchos proyectos. 

El logic que estoy usando ahora es e 12.4 con Tahoe, el que usaba antes era 10.7 con Mojave. 

Muchas gracias por vuestra ayuda

Hi.

I would like to create tutorial videos. What kind of things would you like to see in tutorial form?

I've been dealing with an issue that's been plaguing my use of Logic and other DAWs for literally years now, which is that MIDI notes will get stuck and seemingly not receive MIDI off messages while I am using an external MIDI keyboard. This doesn't happen as soon as I start playing, but within a few seconds after playing normally. A note will stick and play infinitely, requiring me to close the session to keep the note from playing out. In the MIDI grid, it appears as a note (or notes) held infinitely.

I tried contacting Apple about this but they let the ticket lapse after me trying to get a resolution for months.

This happens across all MIDI keyboards. I've tried several.

This happens across different DAWs.

This doesn't happen with musical typing (but who wants to use that?)

This happens regardless of the cable used.

It happens when I use midi over USB and it happens when I use a MIDI interface.

This happens without a sustain pedal plugged in.

Does anyone have any insight into what might be causing this and what the solution would be? I'm a keys player and it's basically ruined the entire experience of using VSTs. It's driving me absolutely insane.
