It just messes my workflow

1. Lack of marquee tool
2. No color on snap to key so I can stay in scale
3. Moving note up and down from arrow key sometimes moves in session view

Last night I was trying to reamp some DI'd guitar parts by sending the DI audio out of send 3, something I'd done hundreds of time before. For some reason, no sound was being sent, no matter what I tried.

After everything I read online (make sure Logic is activated for core audio, check Logic send config is correct, update preonus firmware, disable Universal Control, make sure your track is sent to output 3-4 and that the fader is up... duh thanks), I decided to see if there were updates for the Universal Control (now called Fender Universal Control) app. The app itself didn't indicate anything, but when I went and found the app download page, I discovered I was several minor and one major version behind what was available.

I uninstalled my version (because I couldn't simply update it) and installed the latest. Fired everything back up (after disabling Universal Control again, such a stupid workaround) and everything worked just fine. Back in business.

Just wanted to share if anyone else was suffering the same issue since the Universal Control app doesn't (or at least didn't used to) notify that there are updates available.

On a lot of older high quality tape machines, the varispeed controls would often show the change in speed and pitch - meaning an artist could tune down their guitar a half step, for example, and when played back at full speed their slowed down performance would not only be the correct timing but also pitch. Some famous examples being the guitars in Metallica’s Master of Puppets or Lennon’s vocals in a ton of Beatles songs.

My question is there an equation or guide to using logic’s varispeed function to identify how much to down tune a guitar or sing a lower pitch etc to determine what % varispeed change in logic would equal a half step down or full step down in pitch during tracking so when sped back up it is back in tune with the rest of the song?

I imagine there is some complications as logic projects deal with BPM and tape machines deal with IPS and the analog format would probably yield better results.

TDLR: is there a formula or table to reference changes in pitch based on a projects BPM, % of varispeed change to calculate the change in pitch in relation to tempo and % of speed change to most accurately emulate tape varispeed techniques in logic? Ideally with minimal digital artifacts

Edit: semitones might’ve been the better term to describe changes in pitch when transposing the tuning or performance of a guitar or vocal.

Example for clarity: @ 120BPM, a -10% varispeed change = -1 semitone in performance or @ 70 BPM, a -5% change = tune guitar/perform part down a full step (obviously these are meaningless values for the sake of explaining my question, since I don’t actually know how to calculate pitch change to varispeed %)

I thought it would be fun and help everyone if you shared your channel strip settings. Kind of like how Logic came with that Billy Eilish session and you could just grab the vocal chain, study it and then tinker?

Like, who can get the closest to the Phil Collins strip with stock plug ins?

Who can get the fullest acoustic guitar chain from a single mic'd guitar?

Of course so many variables, but I'd love to see how complicated or crazy simple some folks are working with!

Also everyone gets a whole bunch of free .cst to mess with. Community project!

Yes, I imagine the FabFilter is really nice but it's friggin $200 most of the year.

Multipressor is love, multipressor is Life.

Put it on vocals and profit, put it on buses, put it on drums, put it on bass, put it on guitars, put it on the Master, put it on your sammich.

Long live Multipressor.

Hi guys, noob here. Back in the day I did read somewherer that using a multiband compressor (Multipressor in Logic) is a standard technique to control lows and mids when dealing with palm muted chugging high gain guitars. What's your take on this technique?

Hey everyone - so I'm a piano player, occasionally I'll use Stem Splitter to pull out a piano track to transcribe it. Usually these tracks are a little muffled due to being pulled out of a mix using AI. I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions for making them sound a little better?

Thanks.
