I take my 13yo #podcast episodes, some of which we recorded over Skype and sound pretty janky, run them through #LogicPro’s #StemSplitter, isolate the voices and process them through the #Adobe#EnhanceSpeech tool, then re-integrate it replacing the original voices and it actually sounds pretty good.
AI tools have their place (just probably not as information repositories.)
(Needless to say, I don’t have the original master recordings anymore.)
The new chord track and session musician features in Logic Pro 11 ( and Logic Pro for iPad 2) are pretty nifty. Not as full featured as the Toontrack stuff, but built into Logic. It should drive more features and innovation from Toontrack, and others.
@ianRobinson Thanks for this, I missed seeing this from Logic Pro rules. Nice piece of kit for sure! Only thing I didn’t see was its use on instrument plugs (just shows effect plugs) I presume it works the same but will check out their site for info. #LogicPro
I've made a very talky video this time around, as I think explaining my particular brand of madness may help some.
I take you through my choice of where to place VoiceOver Hotspots so that I get the best out of #LogicPro quickly and efficiently.
Notice I say 'I' and not You.
As this is one of the most subjective videos I've ever made, I want to make it clear that this isn't so much Logic-related as it is Me-related.
What works for me may not work for you, and that's of course absolutely fine, but Hotspots in-general tend to go under-used by many VoiceOver users, so if this benefits anyone at all, I'll be happy.
Personally, I'm so much slower without them and get annoyed when they don't function as intended. That's one of the major downsides to such things, and for transparency I talk about that as well.
When they do work for me however, they are the fastest way to navigate Logic that I personally know of.
'I Hate Traffic Wardens' is an early 2000's song that I co-wrote with my friend James Berry when we were in college together. With the power of #AI and in particular #Demucs, I was able to separate out his vocoded vocals from the music, and I rebooted the music in #LogicPro, effortlessly sliding his original 2002 vocal over the top. This is the result.
My brother asked me to mix and master a song he’s created. Little does he know I have no interest in actually doing so. Instead, I’m going to keep sending him updated mixes with VHS warble or album warps or dust pops. Another will have Sega Genesis beeps and boops in the background. Another will have random orchestral hits from Owner of a Lonely Heart. I’ll just keep telling him the next one will be real, I promise.
I've wanted to be able to extract the Notes field (usually where lyrics, lead sheets, chords, etc. are) from a Logic Pro session file WITHOUT opening it for a looooong time.
Thanks to a helpful article, I was able to kludge a shell script together that finally does it!
Found out this morning that I cannot update Logic Pro to 10.8 unless I'm running at least MacOS Ventura. So I'm saying goodbye to Monterey after years of service and taking the plunge. I think I might loose a few plugins, but c'est la vie.
Trying to copy some MIDI parts from one project in Logic to another. For some reason the exported MIDI part contains some additional info that messes up the instruments completely - I get the Massive instrument I want plus a Steinway grand piano at the same time. 🤬
So, figured I'd just open both projects at the same time and then hand paint the MIDI notes into a new track while looking at the old one. What a disaster! Logic becomes a bug riddled unworkable mess. 🤬🤬
with the latest ipadOS update, i am no longer able to record audio from my ipad to #LogicPro on macbook, via usb-c. it was tricky to figure out, but i've been doing it for weeks. not any more
on my imac, Sonoma broke my ability to use my Epson #V600 scanner. can't communicate with the scanner no matter how many times i uninstall and reinstall everything. the OS sees the scanner, but i can't connect with Image Capture, or Epson software
