Shout out to Logic users, I have a few questions, please let me know:

1. Can you modify hotkeys like in Cubase?
2. does it have built-in vocals pitch correction tool?
3. does it support gradual tempo change?
4. does it have audio warping functionality?
5. can you render in-place?
6. do you have bezier curves for automation?
7. can you A\B plugins
8. can you copy\paste plugin settings
9. does it have macros
10. does it have something like logical editor

Let me know please what Logic has from the list and what it doesn’t (I didn’t try Logic)

Hi…how can You made an A/B plugins comparison in cubase? thanx

I find it easy in Logic using the library. I just load the plugin and change presets from the library without even opening the plugin window but I am trying to find a similar workflow in Cubase.
Is there a tutorial that you know of about Vsti presets?
I am trying to use media bay for presets but each time I double click a preset a new instrument track is created. I just want to change the preset keeping the instrument on the track and I don’t want to do it from the Plugin window header.

Thanks

The library in Logic only displays the default synth presets, not ones you create yourself. I assume you’re just browsing stock sounds and aren’t using any 3rd party soundbanks. That’s very limiting. In Cubase, try saving and loading sounds/presets that you like so you can load them up when needed. You have to open the instrument window but trust me, it’s much faster than browsing hundreds of useless presets you’ll never use in Logic.

I don’t know of any tutorials showing the workflow I’m describing but if you were in my studio you’d see me do it all day lol. I sometimes stream live on Twitch from the studio but eventually you’ll probably see me do it on the Current Sound YouTube channel. You just use the blank box thing above each instrument window to save and load your presets.

The library in Logic does show user presets. General presets (including track summing stacks and track presets) are under ‘User Patches’ at the top of the library window.

If a plug-in or insert is selected (showing a blue triangle) then custom presets and default presets are displayed in the library too.

I use a pretty comprehensive preset system in Logic, really easy to use.

Thanks I didn’t know that. Do you know if there is a way to convert FXBs to Logic Library user presets? I have a program that can convert all my Cubase instrument presets to FXBs. It would be good to be able to port them over to Logic somehow? There are unfortunately thousands of them but I could maybe do the best hundred or so if there was a manual way of doing it?

Most virtual instruments have their own proprietary preset format these days. I have some saved presets for certain synths in their own format for when I’m using other DAWs but it’s a pain in the ass as it takes forever to load them in some synths. I assume I could save each one in Logic after it has been loaded the first time? That might be worthwhile for my own personal laptop.

Also, do you know if it’s possible to move Logic presets from one system over to another? With Cubase you can copy the whole VST Presets folder from one computer to another to keep them both up to date with my latest presets.

I use Logic mainly on projects for other studios, it would be good to be able have all my presets I made in Cubase in there if it was possible.

Unfortunately I’m not aware of a way to convert presets between formats.

For Kontakt presets, I used Keyboard Maestro to automatically cycle through and save presets from libraries.It saved a huge amount of time, even if it was a little fiddly to set up to begin with! The same method can be used with many VI’s depending on how well they interact with KM.

Yes, you can share Logic presets between computers. Either by copying them directly or syncing,

I sync using Dropbox and aliases. So my Logic presets are always up to date on my desktop and laptop.

You press the A/B button…?

I don’t understand…I mean, having 2 plugs in insert chain…For comparison you have to bypass one and listen the other, and viceversa…what a/b button?

That´s what you mean it is. A/B different settings of one plugin is what it is. Done with the A/B button in the plugin GUI.

[fenders74]

It refer ti same plugin…I mean A B comparison with 2 different plugs

@fenders74

It refer ti same plugin…I mean A B comparison with 2 different plugs

This is what I do:

• duplicate the track
• put the B plugin on the duplicate
• mute the A track and unmute the B track
• select both tracks
• press the “m” button to A/B
  
  
  It seems like there should be a better way though. Not sure any DAWs do this as easily as I would like.

Thanks. Have you tried doing the reverse, using Keyboard Maestro in Cubase to save synth preset to their internal format? I can convert Cubase presets automatically to fxbs but not all virtual instruments can import fxbs.

No, I haven’t tried that way.
