[Logic Pro] My review - what's in and what's missing

el_bo · May 2023

@alecsbuga Would love to be able to use Sample Crate on desktop, so I could share samples and design kits that would be able to sync via iCloud and be used in various desktop and DAW. I have no idea of the feasibility or whether that'd even be something you’d be interested in. Just thought I’d throw it out there

It's not in the violin settings, it's in the keyboard settings. Open the keyboard, click on the 3 dots, then surface settings, then select polyphonic pitchblend.

Yep, I've found that, but it's for the keyboard option only. I don't want to play a violin that way, via a piano keyboard. It's weird.

Again, I'm having to answer from the perspective of GarageBand and not Logic Pro... but there are several ways to play strings. One is to use the keyboard, the other is to use the stringed instrument neck. The keyboard requires you use the Pitch setting. The stringed instrument neck sort of closely simulates a real violin/viola neck insofar as it has few indicators of where the notes are. You can achieve a glissando effect using either interface, BUT (at least on GarageBand) you cannot later change the instrument or copy and paste the MIDI information if you use the instrument neck UI. This might be different on Logic Pro iPadOS.

Unfortunately it’s not there in Logic iOS, not that I can find anyway - the violin neck, doesn’t let me slide the note.

I’m starting to think it’s a limitation with the instrument itself, rather than the playing surface, since ifretless Bass works.

i’ve been looking for it as well…haven’t found it thus far…a bit disappointing because GB has this along with some other cool surfaces for the Chinese and Japanese instruments

Yep. This is part of what I want Logic for - a decent selection of traditional instruments with relevant playing surfaces, but feeling underwhelmed on both scores.

actually my bad….it looks like some of these are hidden in surface settings…at least the performance aspects like sliding violin strings…i even found appropriate controllers for the asian instruments with selectable articulations

Musicians looking to play virtual stringed instruments will expect the playing surface to behave like the real thing: sliding of notes for violins for example, or fretless basses as another example.

Preset trills, short portamento’s and other set articulations are all very nice, but some musicians will want to be able to control the amount of note slide themselves, on the playing surface.

A preset emulation is not the same as playing it yourself. Personally I find them completely naff.

The best is to play a real violin and record you playing within LP iOS. It is the way great pro recording go Eve;fit pop music. Synth or modeling will not replace a real instrument. I still love to play sometimes on a physical piano.

Yeah, I could spend a few years learning the violin so I can slide notes. Or use GarageBand instead.

Hahaha... Exactly... Fucking hell, the whole point of these things is that you DON'T have to go and learn a million different instruments. @BerlinFx very few ppl here are interested in being pros, they just want to have a good time and get decent results for their own enjoyment, and that of the handful of other people who listen, with as little friction as possible

Actually, just checked - the tiny selection of stringed world instruments do allow sliding. But for some reason it’s not available in the Studio Strings.

Do you mean polyphonic pitchbend? You can set that up for the strings in the surface settings even though it’s not on as default.

I can’t see that in the violin settings, but this should be a default anyway.

Basically, a violin (I was married to a violinist for 12 years and mucked about on her violin when she wasn’t looking) fingerboard has no frets, so you can slide notes up and down, with a smooth transition between notes. Apps like ThumbJam and GarageBand have supported this option for years now.

You don’t play real stringed instruments via a piano keyboard, or guitar fretboard, so whereas GarageBand emulates the natural playing surface, it’s missing in Logic ‘Pro’.

I’ve just tried the ‘Geoshred hack’, and it still doesn’t provide note sliding, so I think this is a limitation in the instruments themselves, as opposed to a missing playing surface option.

It's not in the violin settings, it's in the keyboard settings. Open the keyboard, click on the 3 dots, then surface settings, then select polyphonic pitchblend.

If you want something that responds well to pitchbend, modelled is usually better than sampled. Perhaps try the SWAM instruments.

But my experience of the polyphonic pitchbend in the keyboard in Logic is that it has a very aggressive snap to notes feature and I can't see any way to alter it. Basically it sounds like shit for doing long glides. Geoshred instruments BY DEFAULT also have a slightly aggressive snap for my taste, but it can be adjusted right down to zero snap, allowing beautiful smooth glides.

It is also a great way to organize all your sample as stock samples or to do a music project. Thanks to some here that advise to use it

It’s definitely on my to buy list. Do you have to manually move your samples or does it sync to the files app automatically?

It is basically just like the files app but it allows you to preview midi and audio files with one touch, without opening a separate window.

Yep, you can only move the notes a few semitones each way in the piano keyboard view, which is extremely limiting, and there isn’t the visual feedback you’d get with a view of an actual fingerboard.

Another cludge.

Logic has a ton of keyboard/surface type controls that no other ‘pro’ DAW on iOS or desktop has already.

People coming from GB (and there will be A LOT) will be asking for the features that are missing.

One feature I’d like in the future is more control over the drum pads.

For examples if I make a pattern region for, say, ruismaker I would like the pads to automatically be assigned to notes in the rows I have in the pattern editor.

Or at least let me manually assign them and save them as a template.

I don’t think I’ll use the guitar strip much but it’s useful having the chords/scale keyboards.

How do you enable recording automatic midi quantization? I can’t find and spent some time on this. Some things are not evident to use or find in Logic IMO.

With no tracks selected, select the quantisation settings you want as default in the inspector.

Any regions you create after that will use those settings.

The parameter inspector is key to getting the most out of Logic.

It’s all non-destructive.

With it you can quantise, transpose, delay (very useful for granular control over the feel of day a snare), gate (you can non destructively alter the length of notes), velocity, looping, muting.

And with an audio region selected you can change the gain, fade in/out, reverse, quantise audio etc.

Yes, you/we can quantize Audio also in the inspector... Even give it swing etc etc...

It doesn't make drag and drop easier really... But drag and drop is generally superior to loading from within an app itself. Why? Because the files app does not remember your last location. So if you open files from within an app and scroll to, say, a samples folder somewhere in audioshare, and load a file from it, then if you want to load another file, you will have to navigate to the relevant folder all over again. It's ludicrously stupid. So by using drag and drop you can just keep that folder open in slideover, knock it offscreen when not using swipe to bring it back in, and it will still be at the last location you left it at, the last folder or whatever. Much better. And if you keep the slideover app on the left of the screen, you won't accidentally trigger 'delete' when trying to drag, as often happens when trying to drag from the right side

In the grand scheme of Apple things, this is a minor inconvenience which can be ironed out in an update down the line. No risks, no hassle - the functionality is already there and can be used today (using the Apple-endorsed OS design pattern, no less).

If I had to make this call, it would be an easy one

For me using Files or Sample Crate is no big deal - can't understand what's so hard doing this?

What’s so hard about making it work properly so you don’t have to jump in and out of two separate apps?

Files app is just a disaster, full stop

That is simply is not true!

Why so negative? Files app is nearly almost not a whole lot worse than Windows 98 file explorer. What exactly are you expecting after only 25 years? 🙄

Well, in fairness iPhone sort of almost managed proper screen widgets a mere 13 years after Android, and that may have raised the expectations of some.

You can create kits in it with samples you have in folders and play them via pads, you can concatenate samples and create sample chains, you can batch rename, you can do quite a few tricks.

Samples chain can you explain more or do a seal screen videos recording to explain ? I miss that point learning sample crate.

If I'm not mistaken it merges all selected samples into one file for slicing and dicing...
...so when you load a sample-chain into for example Quick Sampler it's already 'sliced' ready for drum-kit creation.

Yep. This is part of what I want Logic for - a decent selection of traditional instruments with relevant playing surfaces, but feeling underwhelmed on both scores.

Yes ifretless bass works they implemented a touch surface AUv3 with MIDI Out.

Any 3rd party AUv3 vendor can do this if they have the taste to do so…but looks like the Logic team took a pass on it, or perhaps are considering it for an update.

I have to imagine it's coming in the future since it's something that works in GarageBand today.

Hmmm. Should be there now - I know it’s v1, but they’ve had years to do this, and it’s already a thing on the free app.

I seem to be going through phases: hating it due to clumsy sample import and constant crashing, liking it a bit more as I became more familiar with the UI, almost loving it this morning when the crashing stopped and as I went through the instruments, looping, sequencing, fx etc., and now disappointment as I go deeper and discover features that are standard on even the free version, aren’t supported on here. Just been trying to edit MIDI, the editor is lacking compared to some of the apps we’re used to.

Overall I can see a why a lot of folk are impressed, but it’s not ticking all my boxes.

Just a suggestion: Lay down the initial tracks in GarageBand then open in LP. You won't have to buy another piece of software to solve the problem in the meantime. I use whatever works in any combination that makes sense or saves me time.

I haven’t got space for both. The ‘real’ instruments was a big draw for me, along with AUv3 automation, I don’t need another IDM machine.

OK.

Sorry, that came across as a bit snappy - didn’t mean it that way - it’s been a long day!

Understood. You've got a lot of concerns on your plate.

😅

Excuse me, but I was not being sarcastic or joking. It appears you misinterpreted my reply.
