Logic’s Auto Sampler is an incredible device that has been around for a really long time! It just recently got an interface update with Logic 10.5 and it provides a super cool way to capture hardware synth patches or save software instrument stacks with effects into one sampled instrument!
The Inspector can definitely be quite counterintuitive for new Logic users because some of the most useful controls in the window are quite small and can be easily missed. But once you know where to look, taking advantage of the Inspector can save a whole lot of time and energy so you can focus on the fun stuff.
Sends provide a powerful way to manage effects, save CPU, and create a cohesive mix. Let’s dive into sends, busses, and aux tracks as they present themselves in Logic Pro X!
In this class video, we look at synchronizing film and audio in Logic as well as working with markers and tempo.
The Logic Step Sequencer provides a new way to manipulate MIDI data in Logic! It has been out for nearly a year now; let's check out what it has to offer!
The Logic Remote App for iPhone and iPad is one of the most amazing tools, but people hardly ever talk about it! Let's check out why it deserves all the hype...
Are you about to score for a video in Logic? Here you'll find a detailed guideline on how to prepare for your scoring session in the most effective way, making sure everything lines up with the movie, and with workflow, tricks to improve your speed in the session. Let's dive in!
The marquee tool may just be the most beautiful, useful, perfect thing about Logic. Here's why.
This post covers the basics of the Logic 10.5 Live Looping Grid!
This post provides an overview of the MIDI "Learn" function in Logic Pro, as well as a short exlanation of "Smart Controls" as they relate to MIDI mapping.
This post covers the uses and parameters of Logic's native synthesizer, ES2.
ES 1 is a powerful and versatile synthesizer that comes with Logic Pro X. This post covers its history, uses, and controls!
In the second installment of the free plugins serious I will provide more links to amazing plugins that you can download and start using for no cost!
Logic's ES E was named "E" for ensemble. This basic single oscillator polyphonic synth is great for pads and string textures.
ES P is a simple additive synthesizer named "P" for polyphonic. With up to 8 voices and 5 waveforms to mix and match, plus noise, this 80s-emulating software synth is simple but fun to mess around with.
Logic’s developers have an interesting way of maintaining the interface aesthetics of old plugins and synths while adding new “modern” ones to create an interesting blend of old school and fresh synth engines for us to play around with. The smorgasbord of synth designs and capabilities is part of Logic’s character. There have been so many different updates and changes, but some of these synths remain the same. Let’s talk about the E-synths, where Logic all started!
The concept of bouncing seems to be one of the most misunderstood and confusing terms for beginners in music production. It seems like every DAW calls this something else, and every DAW has a different way of doing it. Below I have included some frequently asked questions regarding the topic:
What the heck is bouncing?
How is bouncing different than exporting?
What does it mean to “bounce in place?”
What is the difference between freezing and bouncing?
How do I export a raw audio file if my track has effects on it?

Many people have no clue that this feature exists. It changes the game for workflow and midi sequencing. It is… capture recording. Capture recording takes literally a second to set up; simply right click anywhere on Logic’s control bar at the top of the screen and check the box next to capture recording.
Automating MIDI parameters such as Pitch Bend and Velocity are super important, especially when you want to get specific sounds and really go deeply into specific aspects of your project. Automation means controlling a parameter over time, giving a user more control over their sounds and tracks. This post will focus on automating specific MIDI protocols for a specific MIDI note, but this works for a length of multiple notes as well!
