In this free tutorial, we show you how to use Logic’s exclusive solo mode. Normally soloing a channel strip adds to the selection of what is solo’d. Engage exclusive solo mode to hear only a single channel strip at a time. This allows you to quickly listen to individual channel strips in isolation.
Getting to where you want to go is an art form in Logic. There are so many ways to navigate the timeline, that the options can be paralyzing. Here I’ll look at some of my favourite ways of moving the playhead around Logic, without touching the mouse.
Every DAW has its urban legends about how mixes sound different after being bounced down to a final stereo track. Talk of fixed-point versus floating point summing equations is usually introduced as evidence to prove one side of the argument or the other. Here’s how to scientifically test your bounced file with your multi track Logic project to determine if the differences are real or not.
In this video we use a mix of several UAD plug-ins to bring out the best character and tone of Logic’s Neo Soul producer Kit, as played by the Logic Pro X Drummer Curtis.
Listen to two examples in this video. The videographer wore the Hooke Verse for binaural stereo audio capture. Despite turning and moving throughout the space, the beautiful stereo ambiance of this high ceilinged loft is reflected in the recording in all its glory. Some EQ was added to sweeten the blend of the instruments played. But the fidelity was all already there from the Hooke Verse capture.
Apple has stepped up with a rapid response release to the recent 10.4.5 Logic update, released only a few weeks ago.

So many Logic Projects start out as loops, it’s a quick way to get ideas up and running but we’ve all got “stuck in the loop”, stacking more and more parts on top of each other but never actually creating any new music. In this free extract from “Fred Everything House Music Template and Workflow”, House DJ Fred Everything shares some tips on how to break out your Loop idea into a full length song as quickly as possible using Logic Pro X.
Based on Eventide’s original hardware H910 Harmonizer, this plug-in faithfully recreates the original’s unique combinations of pitch shifting, modulation, and delay. The result is everything from smooth doubling, chorusing, and flanging, to wild and creative pitch, delay, and other modulation based effects.
Logic’s new DeEsser 2 is a frequency specific compressor, designed to compress a particular frequency range within a complex audio signal. What makes this update so special is the addition of the new “relative” threshold mode.
What some may have missed about the 10.4.5 release is that Apple are getting Logic Pro X ready to work with the new Mac Pro when it is released in the ‘fall’. The new update includes performance optimisations that Apple says are designed to take advantage of the "groundbreaking power" of the upcoming Mac Pro.

As full featured as Logic Pro X’s internal FX are, one unfortunate omission is a tape emulation plug-in. So, this is a very worthwhile addition to Logic’s built in processors. I'm a big fan of tape emulation technology. And the simpler it is to use, the better, in my opinion. In this video, sponsored by Universal Audio, I show two different approaches to using Oxide Tape in a real-world mix. They both work, yet yield slightly different sonic results.
Follow along in this video as I capture the feel of an apple loop and then apply it to a MIDI bass part. And then vice versa. I’ll show you how to take the timing and feel of the MIDI performance, and apply that to the Apple Loop.
We all have different ways of programming drum parts into Logic. Some are real time, and some are non-real time mouse based workflows. I prefer playing in my parts rather than mousing them in. In this video, I’m going to look at a couple of ways I like to work in the Tracks Area. You don’t have to be a great finger drummer to accomplish this. Logic gives us plenty of tools to simplify the drum part entry process.

Read on to learn about what Logic has to offer.
The Creative Process is all about generating, developing, and curating ideas. The creation of ideas is known as “ideation.” As composers, managing our thoughts in their various stages from inception to completion, how do we do this in Logic Pro X.
