Re: Logic score editor issue?

The Logic score editor is a wee (!) bit problematic - has long long needed development that it's not getting.
My best suggestion is that you create a track for each part - that will give each voice a much clearer and more accurate score to follow.
Not ideal - but readable!

Many thanks for all the information. That you took time to respond is much appreciated! It's comforting, in a way, to know that I don't have to chase the latest and greatest to get a musical result!

Keeping Old Studio System Alive!

This question is based on an issue I don't understand: 32 vs 64 bit (what does that mean in practical terms?), and driver compatibility. I have a 'vintage' (ie: hardware*) mix studio co-ordinated through a Tascam FW1884. My 2006 2,1 Mac Pro tower (using Logic 9, Snow Leopard with SSL PCIe card ...

Re: What analog EQ for what purpose

I have an old Focusrite Liquidmix 32 and found an article or two on the interwebs describing the original units being modeled, with useful advice for most common application of each model. Not perfect of course but good starting points as to where vintage stuff was most used back in the day. Sorry I ...

Re: Falsetto

I'm loath to get into this in a forum as really the only way I think that singers find their best voices is in working with an individual teacher. A teacher who can observe exactly what the singer is doing and offer appropriate technique. However, as a bass/counter-tenor who in my mid 60s still ...

Re: Best way to learn Logic

I've been using the Tube of You to learn the all the various ins and outs of Logic.
There are many videos on all aspects from introduction to in-depth.

I kinda like "Why Logic Pro Rules" - he's methodical and focused. But there are many others.

Re: Monitoring in a Probably Very Unsuitable Room

I find my AKG 712s (open backed) with the generic Sonarworks correction to be very effective. I was actually quite surprised what a difference the correction made - flattened a strongish tendancy to a scooped mid range, and seemed to tighten the bass up as well. I say 'seemed' because I'm not sure ...

Lovely 'phones as is. But was fascinated about how much clarity (spectral balance?) they gained and how much more like my monitors they were with the generic Sonarworks correction.
