LP9 has the functionality almost exactly as you describe it, and it seems to me exactly what you’re looking for. It’s explained here. That’s exactly what I was looking for and missed I still think this should be in a more obvious menu.

And, I am on Logic 9. Thanks for the quick responses, Dave. Jun 28, PM in response to Vacheto In response to Vacheto Vacheto, As an aside, in the video, they demonstrate deleting drum tracks and replacing them. In the demo, they select about 10 tracks and delete both the regions and the track headers at once. I’ve looked for a shortcut for this but can’t find it. Do you know how they did it in one fell swope? I always have to delete one and then the other.

Dave, It’s a little trick of the video demonstrator I guess. When selects the multiple regions he hits the “Delete” key and the “Delete Unused Tracks” very fast one by one which looks as one shot in the video.

The biggest issue is labeling. This is especially important if the person mixing the session is not the person that tracked it. We have lost count of how many times we have received sessions where the tracks are labeled with the default names like Audio 1, Audio 2 etc.

Check all the track names and make sure they describe what is on the track. Some are easy like Kick, Top Snare, Hi-hat and so on, but when it get things like Synths and samples, make sure the labeling gives as much information as possible. For example, a track labeled Kontakt 5 will give you a clue that is some kind of Kontakt instrument, but not what is it and how it fits into the song.

We suggest you look at the track and give it a more appropriate name, perhaps something like Kontakt Bells. But please, please, please label absolutely everything and make plenty of notes too. Make sure you put everything into a dedicated folder.

Again, the more info, the better. Also include a ReadMe file with all the other notes in a basic text file format so it can be opened in any software. Once you have created an Export folder we recommend you zip it up, not so much to reduce the file size but it helps not to lose anything as you are dealing with one zip file. Logic uses the track name as a basis for the file names when you export from Logic so make sure that all the track names in Logic are named correctly as it will make the process much easier.

Be aware that muted tracks will still be exported. There are a number of options for exporting out of Logic but we are going to look at two ways. In the sub menu select All Tracks as Audio Files. Decide if you want to enable the Bypass Effect Plug-ins. Do you want the export to have your plug-ins printed or not?

If you have delay or reverb effects then make sure you check the Include Audio Tail option otherwise the reverb and delays will be cut off. Next consider if you want to include the volume and pan automation. Will this be helpful to the the person taking on this session? Maybe have a discussion? But remember that this will be burnt into the audio files and will be difficult for the next person to remove.

It will also take any Mono tracks in Logic and run them into stereo tracks with the pan information printed into the stereo audio track. Our advice is to leave this feature disabled. Once you are ready, click on the New Folder button and give the folder a suitable name – see above. Now you can hit the Save button and Logic will create a folder of audio files that all start at bar 1, which will make it reasonably easy to import into a new Pro Tools session.

Another downside is that all your instrument tracks in Logic will not get printed as audio files if you use this method. We would recommend that unless you are used to using AAFs that you leave this option alone and just use the Export As Audio Files option. Logic Pro is the most advanced version of Logic ever. If you want to download the software on your windows pc or mac, you could either first visit the Mac store or Microsoft AppStore and search for the app OR you can easily use any of the download links we provided above under the “Download and Install” header section to download the application.

Our download links are from safe sources and are frequently virus scanned to protect you. Unlike all Logic versions before 9, there is no option to manually show the EXS where to look for the samples. If you are lucky enough to have the original old hard drive you created the samples on, and you are able to somehow connect it to your Mac – it will work. But copy the folder of samples to your new drive s and it stops working.

Lots of long standing bugs have never been fixed in Logic, but with every update new bugs are introduced. Good luck running a session relying on punching into a track. Zoom settings are having random weird problems. When moving regions, you can choose whether or not to move any existing automation with it. You can only use the Automation Select and Automation Curve tools to select and bend automation curves when Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane.

Select automation Do one of the following: Drag any selection of automation points and curves. Click the automation curve with the Automation Select tool. Copy automation within a track Select the points or curves you want to copy, then Option-drag the selection to a different location on the track.

 
 

Transferring Projects Between Different DAWs

 

However, after using Logic Pro X, it is hard to migrate to any other music software. I find myself able to create music with relative ease that the other DAWs just are not capable of. The MIDI capabilities alone are second to none in Logic and the ability to compose music in all styles makes it the best of the best. Another huge plus is the constant and free updates Apple provides… updates that are really upgrades in the quality and number of plug-ins and soft instruments built into the program.

Composing music or just recording a band is easy with this software. Whether you are into acoustic, jazz, electronica or rock, this software package is the best there is and gets updated constantly by Apple. Apple takes this software very seriously and I commend them for their excellence.

Version However, it does have on issue now with Flex Pitch and Flex Tim. Again, the more info, the better.

One other tip is to export a single MIDI track that is the same length as your session in Logic and include the session tempo and project markers.

But make sure your selection starts at the beginning of the song and finishes at the end of the song. There’s a great deal of confusion and misunderstanding when it comes to Logic’s export features.

Whether you’re trying to archive and protect your work or want to share your session with a non-Logic user, Logic has everything you need. Check out this mini-video from Eli Krantzberg…. One the most commonly asked questions is how to export a mono track in Logic. It is possible by setting the output routing of the channel strip to a mono output rather than the stereo output. For audio tracks this is straight forward.

But when setting this in a software instrument track, you need to be using a mono instantiation of the VI. The next step is simple — find the tracks I want to import. You can do this by opening the Finder Key Command: F :. Since I save all my projects onto a separate external hard drive, I use the middle Computer button for my searches. As you can see, I have my choice of opening the project file, or digging into a folder like Audio Files.

It just depends on what you need. Need to import your Tempo Track because you plan on syncing delays to it? No prob — click the Content box for the Tempo Track and hit Replace. Lo and behold, your vocal regions, plugin chain, and automation are all imported into your template. Not only that, but Logic makes sure to put the vocal region in the same exact place on the timeline! Go to that same vocal track in the Finder, and click on its Sends button:. And simply click Replace.

Logic is gonna ask you a couple of questions at this point. Always: Always moves automation when you move regions. The automation area encompassed by the region boundaries is moved. Ask: A dialog prompts you to move the automation—or leave it where it is—whenever you move a region.

Control-click the track lane, then choose one of the following options from the shortcut menu that appears: Never move Automation with Regions Always move Automation with Regions Ask to move Automation with Regions. Move a region selection with its automation Drag across the region with the Marquee tool.

You can organize your templates in folders with the Create Folder button in the Save As Template dialog. When all your user templates are placed in subfolders, the subfolder names are shown below the factory collections. Tip: You can add descriptive text to your templates by adding a comment to the project file in the Finder. The Templates dialog displays the icon assigned to a template file, making it easy to change if you wish.

For more information on how to add a comment to a file, or change the icon of a file, see Mac Help. Important: After a project is saved as a Logic Pro project, it can no longer be opened in earlier versions of Logic Pro. In the Save As dialog, enter a new name for the project. You can select the Freeze Mode from the Track Inspector. Select Pre Fader mode if you are moving the project to another computer. Next, freeze a track by pressing the snowflake button on the Track Header. After that, click play to freeze the track.

A green snowflake button will indicate a frozen track with Pre Fader mode. Note: The Track Freeze button is not visible by default. A snowflake button will appear on the Track Header. The other settings will render the audio in a way that does not match the original playback.

Ableton Live and Logic Pro X do not automatically copy media files into a project folder. Instead, they both reference the files in their original location to save space.

This crucial step will copy all external media files used in the project to subfolders within your project folder. It will also prevent missing file error messages when opening the project on another computer. Note: This step does not copy and save third-party plugins. It only saves audio files such as samples, recordings, sampler instrument samples, reverb impulse responses, etc. Moreover, this collection of audio assets can drastically increase the project folder size depending on the files used in a project.

From the following dialog box, select which media files to copy into the project folder and click OK. From the following dialog box, select the file types you want to copy into the consolidate project and click OK. Following the steps in this guide will ensure your music projects include all the necessary assets. You can now safely share or move projects to another computer with minimal-to-no problems.

These steps also make it easier to organize, archive, and move projects. Which Program are you interested in? Music Production Tips. This music project management guide will cover two main topics: 1. Understanding a songs project folder and its contents. The folder contains: A. This file includes all clips, tracks, devices, samples, arrangements, and settings.

An Ableton Project Info folder that contains a project file generated when saving the project for the first time. You should not modify this folder or its contents. It stores important project data.

A Samples folder that stores all the samples imported into your project. A Backup folder that stores backup. When bouncing tracks down as audio, try to make use of options for organising the naming. Adding an incremental number at the front means that your tracks will be imported to a new DAW in the correct order. The Open Media Framework OMF protocol was developed as a means of transferring audio clips, along with a basic amount of information see box , between different audio and video software.

Most not all full versions of the leading DAWs include the option to import and export OMF files, although many ‘lite’ versions don’t. OMF is a great idea, but I’ve found it less great in practice: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, and different DAWs seem to require you to prepare a ‘target project’ in different ways. So, while you can get results from OMF, I’d prefer not to rely on it for critical projects or tight deadlines. Many DAWs can create OMF files, which allow you to transfer audio tracks, with a bit of information about levels, between different pieces of audio and video software.

There are too many to list here around 40 at the last count, including the different versions — check www. It translates level and pan automation, for example, so as long as automation is enabled on the original project’s tracks, you’ll get the same levels in the target DAW.

My own tests threw up similar results to those I’ve read in reviews: for the most part, it works remarkably well, though there are occasional glitches. There were a few timing issues with the odd clip, and a few issues with warped like Acidised audio files in Cubase.

But generally, it does the job very well. Share a song using AirDrop. Share a song using MailDrop. Share a song to your SoundCloud account. Share a project to GarageBand for iOS.
