You also have another project layer ( Alternatives) that could help you organize your numerous settings variations.īesides, you could create custom folders within the User Patches/Channelstrip Settings, in the library. Those unsaved presets could be imported between projects. When you save a project, all the parameters settings are included and retrieved when you load back the project those were set in (upon saving the project), even if the customized channelstrip had not been saved as a distinct preset. I'm not sure.ĪFAIK, channelstrips settings, patches settings, plugin parameters settings don't need to be saved as separate entities to remain. I seem to remember channelstrips disappearing after a while. reference mp3s of other songs/artists with ideas, I might try to incorporate into my piece. weblink to Youtube to listen and watch videos in helping me to realize my composition. Lyrics, song ideas, notes, a list of possible titles. Midi tracks modified or generated by other software. and separate midi files I may have imported or exported. I keep a song folder for each song, it contains finished song, all Logic songs, (versions) audio, etc. I want to 'offload' them to another place, (in a folder for all elements of the song project), and later move them back into Logic's Channel strips, should I so wish. But in the mean time, I will have channelstrips numbering in the hundreds, most of which don't matter to me, Other than exactly recreating something. Great when you want to overdub or recreate the original song a year later. The channel strips are great for pulling up an instrument with 2 effects, cause it remembers the exact parameters of everything. I'll keep your idea in mind, if I can't find an alternative work around. I've spent an OBSCENE amount of money on new Mac Pro, (what with SSD, Thunderbolt Raids, adaptors for whatever equipment, I could still plug in. But at this point, I'll have hundreds and hundreds of channel strips. So I can come back to it 6 months a year later, and have all options all variations available. I want to have the whole work song complete. On older versions of Logic, channel settings would disappear, at least from main dialogue box. Problem is I already have 25 channel strips for one song. and I feel certain tracks are keepers, I turn into audio (can still re-edit and re-record if I need) make a channel strip, and reset channel. I have about 25-35 live Midi tracks, with mostly 3rd party plug-ins and a Tyros, Intrega, and Motif XS for hardware.Įven with a 2015 Mac Pro, Logic does not like loading in all these plug-ins. My intention with a new Mac Pro, was to run everything live MIDI until song was in final shape. Thanx for the detailed explanation Peter. Imagine this routing in the traditional way and what storing all the settings would mean to you. See the example below – two virtual instruments fed by one source, a panner, a modulator, a drone and a pitch plugin, routed across stereo channels. if you are in experimental or effects-loaden music with third party plugins, containers may generally be an option for you. But both, Metaplugin and Bidule, support the AU and the VST format, even mixed in one patch. General restriction with containers: No Logic plugins can be used, only third party. Doesn't matter for me, most times those are controlled by automation anyway. Of course, single plugin settings of containers do not store channelstrip parameters like volume, pan, sends, mute etc. Contrary to Logic channelstrips and plugins, most third party plugins allow to store and load their settings freely. To work around these very unfriendly restrictions, I use "containers" like DDMF Metaplugin or the Plogue Bidule Plugin to arrange and route my effects (often together with instruments) as I like and save the plugin setting of the "container" where I want. Means, you cannot load a simple effects chain to an aux if the setting was stored for an instrument channel. Logic not only restricts you to its own storage location, it also puts channelstrip settings in dedicated folders like audio, instrument, aux etc. Performances do not help, they just call existing channelstrip settings by program change events.
