Tips & Tricks Updated: EarFix - a free hearing loss correction plugin

16 Upvotes

https://github.com/sneakinhysteria/EarFix

Last year I built this in order to enjoy the same hearing loss correction in my DAW that my AirPod Pros delivered in iOS.

Musicians and engineers are not immune to hearing loss (quite the opposite - we are a high risk group). Yes, you can wear your hearing aids in front of your monitors, but with headphones, applying correction in the DAW seems like a much better idea.

I've just updated the plugin, added Windows support and fine tuned the correction model and added a basic mode to get you started easier. Unlike a few paid alternatives, EarFix works on the basis of your audiogram - your hearing test result. No separate test in an uncalibrated environment needed.

If you like to use this across your entire system for all output, you can use Sound Source (paid) or check out Curve (free and works great for me).

Hearing loss correction should not be a business - so this is completely free and privacy-friendly (no server).

Question PLEASE HELP THE AMATEUR! I am stuck so bad

2 Upvotes

Had everything working great with a Scarlett interface on my iMac. "Upgraded" to a Volt 2. Set input and output on system and Logic Pro to Volt 2. Youtube and Spotify sound great through my monitors. Garage band works and can record and play back . I can record into Logic Pro. But I cannot get any playback / monitoring, or any other sound "out" of logic. Tracks checked - they are not muted. Pulled up old projects- none of them will play out of the monitors. Same when using headphones straight into Volt 2. No sound out of Logic , but sound out of everything else. I am stuck for a reason why ONLY LOGIC PRO will not send sound out to the Volt 2. Any ideas?

Question Assistance appreciated

3 Upvotes

I uploaded a GarageBand file into logic then extended it from 112 bars to 147 in logic. After bar 112 it won’t make sound. Everything up to 112 works, including new adds. Everything after 112 doesn’t, including moving old working loops into the second portion. Even the command + k keyboard only produces sound when I’m before bar 112. What do I do?

Question Colours not working as intended in arrangement view

3 Upvotes

When colouring tracks in arrangement view, the little number on the left hand side of the track no longer gets coloured, but the icon and regions do. When I go to mixer view, the number at the bottom is coloured. Is anyone else having this issue? When I load up older projects from before the update, I don’t have this problem

I have been using arrangement markers pretty much since they were introduced and I love them. But I’ve never really worked out a use case for sets. If you use them I’d love to know what for! Thanks y’all

Question Where Have My Effects Patches Gone?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm somewhat of a less-proficient logic user, and recently I keep opening projects and finding out that a lot of effects I used on old instrument recordings to make ambient tracks are no longer showing up in my library. For example, I had a couple of guitar recordings I played around with and put effects on, through the Guitar > Electric > Experimental dropdown options. Some of the patches I used were called Dark Aura, Fragmented Shift, Floating By, Underground Passage, Doppleganger, Atonal Machine, Quick Return, and Ambient Current. None of them seem to exist, they still show up in Logic when opening that old sessions but are not able to be navigated to in the library menu. Did they get removed with a new update, did I accidentally delete them somehow? How do I find these patches again?

Question All tracks went wild

4 Upvotes

My project was normal, all went good, but somehow they desynchronised? some tracks are still ok but most of them are really desynchronised and after 20-30 second in the project almost all of them stop. I looked at the automations lanes and they are all good. Btw, the tracks are in the same place as always, only the audio is desynchronised or stops.
Please helppp
And yes, i tried opening an older save, but it remains the same….

Question How do I use my own sound as an instrument in piano roll?

0 Upvotes

How do I choose the sound (as an instrument to be played) for a specific channel? For example, each note in the MIDI will be [mp3 file] pitch down'ed or via versa accoding to notes' positions in piano roll? I never thought of that, and if I needed some specific sound, I just created it in RetroSynth, but if I will, at some point, want to make a Meow song, or something like that... Hmmm... [asking over here cuz all the guys in internet use FL studio, and if some content makers DO use Logic, then it is extremely amateur content, thanks.]

Help Trouble with recognizing MIDI device

3 Upvotes

I've recently started having trouble with a USB MIDI keyboard I had never had trouble with before. When I connect it, Logic will recognize it briefly (I get the "Number of MIDI ports changed" message, and I get sound), then it will "unrecognize it" almost immediately (same "MIDI ports changed" message saying the number went down; no sound).

Then recognition will cycle on and off endlessly: Recognizing the device a few seconds later, unrecognizing a second after that, on and on and on.

At first I thought maybe the cable or connection was bad, but it is clearly a regular on-off cycle, not random. Not caused by anyone bumping the cable, etc.

Anyone ever had this happen?

Question Au location difficulty during project transfer

3 Upvotes

So i transfered a bunch of old projects to my new Mac mini and all of my archetype tim Henson AUs don't want to transfer. Archetype gojira works just fine. I tried restarting and resetting the au cache, no dice. Any ideas? If anything else is there a way to get the preset data out of the project so i can just manually change it to the working AU? I already did that for a smaller project i remembered the presets for but the bigger ones would be a nightmare and some of them were custom. TIA.

Help Help Sending MIDI Program Changes to Roland SoundCanvas Synth

3 Upvotes

Hi folks,

This was originally posted in r/roland, but I am editing my cross-post a bit for folks who do not have deep knowledge of whatever Roland was doing in the 1990s. I realize that this is an incredibly obscure synth and that this is a real long-shot question, but maybe someone here knows the deep magic or can at least point me in the right direction on where to ask.

I have a Roland Sound Canvas SC-880 that I am running through Logic. I have a good amount of the basics sorted out, but I'm struggling with some of the MIDI functions.

Essentially, the Sound Canvas has "tones" that can be assigned to sixteen different "parts." It has "base tones", for example, "Grand Piano," but then there are sub-sets within those "base tone" categories.

I'm able to set the "base tone" in Logic's "Event Viewer," where I can program a certain "part" or "tone" in via the DAW to change instruments at a certain measure of the song. However, this only works for the basic "tone" set as far as I can tell - I can even get the "program" menu in Logic to show me the different names of the different "base tones" on the SoundCanvas (0 - GrandPiano through 127 - SFX Gunshot), but I can't get any of the other sounds (ie, if 0A is GrandPiano, then I can change to 1A, UprightPiano, but not 0B, GrandPiano2).

Additionally, I am not able to access the "rhythm" tones doing this as they appear to be a separate "thing" in their own sub-menu - the Sound Canvas totally silos off rhythm/drum tracks in their own category on the front panel, and it appears to be invisible to Logic and I can't figure out how to access those. I am confident this is due to my inexperience. I am aware that per the basic settings, rhythm sounds are assigned to Part 10, but I cannot access them even when setting the program/channel in Logic to 10.

The manual states:

to set the Part Mode using MIDI messages, you need to use system-exclusive messages. For example, if you wish to set the Part Mode of Part A11 to Rhythm 2, transmit the following message (p.188):

F0 41 10 42 12 40 1A 15 02 0F F7
10: Device ID (17)
40 1A 15: Address
(USE FOR RHYTHM PART of Part A11)
02: Data (Part Mode Rhythm 2)

Presumably this is what Logic is doing in the background when I change the instrument via the "Program" menu, but I have no idea how to do this or how to otherwise access one of the rhythm parts without doing some serious on-the-fly knob-twiddling.

Again, I imagine that this is probably elementary with a slightly-better understanding of MIDI and/or this is buried in the manual somewhere, but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Basically, my questions are:

  1. How do I access different sounds other than the "base tone" from Logic? Or, what terms should I be looking for in the manual to help me do this myself?

  2. How do I access the "rhythm" menu from Logic directly?

Cheers!

Help Issues with Decent Sampler

1 Upvotes

Firstly, every time I load the plugin into logic (and even standalone), it says there is an update and when I do the update, it doesn't seem to update as it keeps asking me to update it? Secondly, and most recently, I am trying to download an instrument through "browse" and it's saying the zip file was empty and it is unable to move directories from library/caches/decent sampler/(the instrument) to my external drive where I keep all my sounds and instruments. I haven't changed anything with my drives and such since Ive gotten decent sampler forever ago.

Help Logic Pro for iPad MIDI controller issue

2 Upvotes

Hi i have a certain problem with Logic Pro for iPad. I plugged my Arturia KeyLab Essential 49 into my iPad Air M3, the notes i play on the keyboard are okay but in terms of control buttons such as play, record etc. there are issues, i’ve bound buttons to functions, while the assigned commands are working it registers their trigger as a note in the midi sequence, it’s really annoying since during tracking it can create a take in place i don’t wan it to, and well it is rather irritating to manually edit midi region to remove these notes, also most of the time the sound that gets played is really high and since i have really sensitive ears it makes it quite hurtful (lowkey ironic lmao). i would be very thankful if someone was to give me a solution to my problem.

Tips & Tricks Update on my free plugin COGG: I added cool new presets in v1.1!

1 Upvotes

I'm a high school student who is developing a free plugin, compatible with LOGIC PRO!

A few weeks ago you probably saw that I posted about COGG, a free plugin I built that metallizes and industrializes any sound. Specifically, harmonic distortion, metal plate convolution reverb, and pitch layering are there all in one chain.

I just shipped v1.1 with 8 factory presets so you can dial in different metallic textures instantly instead of tweaking all the knobs from scratch. Everything is there, from subtle texture (like the preset RUST), to full chaos (like presets SHRAPNEL and MELTDOWN). It's perfect for Logic Pro & Garageband, especially because it's free!

Still free, no account needed, VST3 + AU for Mac, VST3 for Windows. Of course, I used JUCE and C++.

Try it out: https://plasma-hype.itch.io/cogg

Trailer/demo of the update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfD2drnrMjQ

Thanks to everyone who tried v1.0 and gave feedback, this update came directly from figuring out what people actually wanted to do with it. I personally have used COGG in almost all of my FL projects ever since I released it. Please give it a shot and let me know what you think of the presets and plugin as a whole for a v1.2!

Just like the description says. I’m recording midi drums and have the settings to merge but when I’m looping and recording a drum part, when it cycles around what ever I record it records over the previous take. I want to be able to record a kick, then hi hat, then snare on the same track. How do I go about this?

Question Dragging audio over another region

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m moving over to Logic from ableton.
Today, I was recording some multi track drums.
I tried to cut a chorus out and drag it over another section.

It appeared to work; but after I played back, I could hear both the new and old section at same time. Is there a setting so when I paste or drag something new, the old content is gone? Or do I have to manually delete it first?

Question all pop-up windows showing up when I right click

Every time I right-click on Logic in the taskbar after working on a project, every pop-out window I opened shows up under the recently opened projects. Not sure if it's a setting that I turned on (or that can be turned off). resets whenever I fully quit the app.
