Not only that but you can further shape the sound by selecting different types of vintage modelling by clicking on the Output Model drop down menu where you can select from Silky (tube), Punchy, (graphic), Smooth (console) and Off if you don’t want any Output modelling. However, add some EQ to the equation combined with the drive and you’ll not only shape the frequency but you can decide on how much distortion and colour you want add. This is cool because you can add colour to the mix without actually adding any EQ. So Logic have added an on/off switch internally so you can drive the signal but bypassing the EQ stage. I have some Neve hardware as well as the plugins from Waves and UA, I’ve not compared and probably won’t but I’m sure they’ll be plenty of discussion about it on various forums.Īpart from the fact that they sound great the idea here is to add some vintage character to your mixes and one thing that makes a hardware EQ stand out is the gain stage where you can saturate and drive the signal. Neve, API and Pultec style emulations have been added to the EQ bundle and it’s a very nice addition indeed. Logic have joined the party with the addition of some very nice looking new EQs. We all know the holy grail for a lot of 3 rd party plugin manufactures is hardware emulation. Now with Smart Tempo Logic will adapt you recorded audio to fit new tempos. If like me you’ve ever been writing and have recorded in different audio parts live, say a bass or guitar and later down the line decide the tempo is wrong it was a real pain to either time stretch, quantize audio or re-record guitars etc. This feature also allows you to adapt the tempo of the session to match the tempo of an imported audio file.Īnother cool feature that I love is that recorded audio will now adapt to the tempo changes. This is going to make remixing and importing audio with different tempos an absolute breeze. We get Smart Tempo, which has powerful new tempo analysis and editing capabilities, you can record a new part or drag and drop a loop and Logic will automatically flex the recording to sync with the tempo of your project. I’ll cover other stuff new features in another video. In this video we’ll look at a brief overview of Smart Tempo, Vintage EQ, Direction Mixer, Mixer and Plugin Undo and Reverb. So what do we lucky Logic lovelies get with 10.4?
Who cares there’s some really neat new features!īefore I go into an overview it’s important to point out this is a free upgrade for Logic X users and with all the new features that have been added any other DAW maker I would imagine would have charged for such a big upgrade.Ĭonsidering over the past few years Logic has given me and you Alchemy, Drummer, Drum Machine Designer, VCA’s, true Stereo panning, selection-based processing, loudness metering and much more all free, that makes us Logic Users pretty spoilt I’d say!
Is it to steal Ableton’s thunder with their new release? Is it to put to bed all the Logic users that spread doom and gloom on facebook saying Apple will soon stop supporting us Logic users? Or is it because the development team have spent time working behind the scenes to bring the Logic community something special?
You can do this via the menubar under Logic Pro X > Key Commands > Edit. You would expect Apple to make this feature much more accessible but here are the steps to get it working. Tap tempo in Logic Pro X is not a default feature and needs a couple of steps to get it working.
This quick tutorial will show you how to use the tap tempo function in Logic Pro X.
